She Is a Sphinx.

Louie Bezeppo was the name given
by woman who had a hearing in the
probate court yesterday touching her
sanity. She has been in the city hos
pital for about two weeks. She did not
appear to be insane. but gave a very in
consistent and struggling account of
herself. After considerable effort in
the way of prOpounding questions. it
was supposed that she has father lIv-
ing at Jordan or Long Prairie, named
Joseph Brusvoke. She was sent to Jail
for safekeeping until her friends can be
corrpsponded with. She persistently
evaded giving any connected account of
her friends or her home, and IL is only
Surmised from remarks she made that
her friends live at Jordan. She is evil
IDENTIFY sane. and has gOod-looking
countenance, but there is no doubt an
interesting story connected with her
coming to this city couple of weeks
ago from Dakota. But all efforts to get
her to disclose it have been fruitless.

Little Camille LIE Brun Sings a
Pretty Song at the Museum.
A dainty little figure in gay dress and
pink stockings tripped lightly across
the stage of the upper theater at the
museum last night, shook the posies
in dainty little bonnet. gaily tossed a
kiss at the audience, and began singing
a pretty little song-in French. Face,
, manners and voice were those of little
girl, all the little airs, the pickering of
the skirt. the pretty pirouette on the
end of one pink leg-these were all
! femlnine-all but the legs. Those legs
were masculine. there could be no
doubt about that bone and muscle and
the sturdy kneeS-and so it appeared
that that o, what seen; seemed to be a dainty
be stout-llm5ed little little" boy "
He proved to be st. Panl boy. too
so far st. Paul, at least, as two or
three months residence in the West
side could make him. His name was
Camille LIE Brun, and he came two
years ago from Paris. On the stage LIE
Brun is many things. His slender,
girlish figure fits him best for the girl
parts, and he appears most often as
some little fairy IN pink dress. sprink-
ling dainty music about him like some
delicate perfume. Off the stage LIE
Brun is bright little boy of twelve.
He travels with and supports his
mother, who is widow, once herself a
beautiful woman and ballad singer,
but, having lost her voice, now retired
from the stage. LIE Brun learned his
manners and the pretty songs in France,
and he sings them with a sprightliness
and gaiety that is natural only to the
Frenchman. The song he sang last
night was all about what a young girl
had to say about charming young man.

A SINGULAR AILMENT,
A Mendoza Boy Who Is Blind, Elk.
cent When Redundant.

Sidney Warren, boy residing with
his parents at Mendoza, is suffering
from peculiar malady. which local
medical experts have thus far failed to
discover the nature of. The lad is
twelve years old and has always en-
joyed good health, with vigorous dis
position He is now totally blind,
though whether the blindness will be
permanent or not. it is impossible at
this time to determine. The boy is a
son of Peter Warren, a gardener, and
the latter. in speaking of his sons
strange affection to GLOBE reporter,
yesterday. said that he believed the
family was subject to these attacks, as
his father had become blind at different
periods of his youth, the blindness last
ing on one occasion for several months.
He eventually recovered his sight, how
ever, and was in full possession of that
sense at the time of his death, which
occurred seven years ago. A peculiar
iJy of the ailment from which the boy
is suffering is that when he first wakes
in the morning and while remaining in
a reclining position, he sees distinctly,
but upon assuming an upright posture
he becomes sightlrss immediately. The
patient is in charge of DR.. Ohage, who
has hopes of being able to restore the
lost faculty.

WASH SILKS,

The demand increases. Every
body says they are beautiful.
What everybody says must
be so.
They are certainly very at
tractive, and as they commend
themselves as to styles, and
are a perfect wash fabric, it's
not surprising that they sell
readily; add to this the great
popularity this side of the
water as well as the other,
and we see a still larger de-
mand in store for them as th e
season advances.
PRINTED TWILLED SILK
"a sort of first cousin to the
wash silks---croWds them very
hard for first place; the styles
are even more varied, and
some say they are prettier.
You pays your money, you
takes your choice. Note in
particular the black grounds,
with bright and dull-colored
figures. Could anything be
more unique ?

concluded WltN the sixteenth century
composition by Orlando Lassua, "Ma-
tona. Lovely Maiden by the chorus.
The cantata of "Placida'' is taken from
peror Nero, during which time great
portion of the city of rome was burned,
the responsibility being placed at the
door of the Christians, for which they
were tried and condemned to
torture and death. Piacida, the
Christian martyr, has been awakened
to the light of Christianity by observing
the devotion of her slave, who has en-
braced the Christian faith. She accom-
panieS Bertha to the catacombs. where
she is baptized by Fabian; and while
she and her fellow Christians are sing
ing carols of JOY the soldiers enter and
make them prisoners. Rufus commu-
nicates to Metellus that his daughter
hastens to her and calls upon
her to abjure her adopted religion.
Placida refuses, and is visited by her
fathers malediction. She is then
brought with Fabian and the other con-
verts before the imperial tribunal, and
refusing to recant is, condemned to
death. On her way to the place of exc
cution an attempt is made by Metellus'
slaves to rescue her, and in the midst of
the tumult she faintS and dies. MetelluS,
moved by the sight of her lifeless form,
apd' dreading lest any indignity should
be offered her. commands that she be
thrown into the Tiber.
The characters represented in the
piece were taken as follows: Placida.
daughter of Metellus (soprano), Miss
Geneyra e. Johnston; Bertha, Placida's
slave (contralto). Miss Mae Murphy;
Metellus. Roman senator (tenor), j. f.
Merrill; Fabian, Christian priest tbari-
tOne), f. Ill. Garland; Rufus. friend of
Metellus (tenor), A. S. Wiiloughby;
Nero. emperor of Rome {basS). J. l..
Whehn; Amphion club, chorus of fifty
voices. No attempt at the dramatic was
made, though it can hardly be said
that the presentation was rem
dered less effective from the fact.
Mr.. Merrill sang the tenor parts i'm
fautiess manner, and Miss Mae Muir
phys eontralto was all that could be de-
Sired. Hiss ,Johnston's splendid So
prano voice served her well in the diff
cult airs embraced in the part of Pla-
cida, while the tenor and bass of
MeSsrs. Garland and Whplan especially
were beyond criticism. All the singers
showed familiarity with the intricacies
of the piece, and nothing occurred from
the opening overture to the Hallu-
jah finale to mar the perfection OF the
whole.

RANDOM NOTES.

Boiler Inspector Clark says the firm
at Collinswo0d would not permit his in
spector to examine the boiler which ex-
ploded. Oh, they wouldn't. eh? Well,
what in the world is that inspector
there for? ''They can blame no one
but themselves" is the conclusion the
inspector is reported to have reached.
Sage conclnsioni Suppose the building
Inspector should permit Buddensiek
work here and then say: "Well. if you
want to build such houses you can only
blame yourself if they fall" What is
an inspector paid for. in heavens name?
The st. Paul fire department has re-
ceived very little compliment or con-
graduation for its good work. 1t is
doubtful If another city i'm the Union
can show better record than st. Paul
for small loss in proportion to the num-
Der of fires and the property exposed to
danger. In all insurance centers, st.
Paul is well known as having Splen-
Gid department, well Differed, manned

you.
Lent is with US. beginning to-day. A
deep black pail now lies spread over the
ClirlStlan world, and Will remain dur
Ing penitential period of forty days,
inclusive of Sundays, bringing Easter
upon March 80. To-day is Ash Wednes-
day, and will be celebrated in many of
the churches. including the Epscop pal
Ian and Catholic. Yesterday was Mardl
Gras, Shrove Tuesday. or Fat Tuesday,
as you please. 1t is the great carnival
day, from the fact that it ends the
period prior to Lent. which is devoted
to merry making. Where Mardi Gras
is most observed the Lenten season
is most seriously maintained. In st.
Paul there is no Mardi Gras. and very
little Lent, beyond the services in the
churches and little private mortfica-
ton of the flesh. Behind the closed
blinds the merry-making will go on as
usual, but public gaiety will be sus-
pended.
If the old market house IS to be dis
penSed with, as suggested in council
last night, why not utilize that space
for ar auditorium? There Is an album
dance of room, and it is eliglbly located.
While the chamber of commerce is pon-
dering an auditorium might be built.

DEATHS FATAL CONQUEST.


The glorles of our birth and state
Arc shadows, not substantial things;
There is noarmor against fate
Death lays bis icy hand on kings;
Scepter aud crown
Must tumble down,
Aud in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill
But their strong nerves at last may yield
They tame but one another still,
Early or late
III They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
4 And they, pale captives, creep to death.
w, sarlands wlther on your brow
SeShen boast no more your mighty deedsi
Upon deaths purple altar, now,
See where the victor victim bleeds,
All heads must come
To the cold tomb
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
