the unfortunate information that one

Adam when he was head gar

in the box with the snakes.
They did not move for about a min

its lead and fasteEed its eyes upon

An Irish Evangelist Addresses a
Meeting for Men ONLY.

An Irish Evangelist Addresses
Meeting for Men Only.
The Newmarket theater yesterday
afternoon was the scene of something
out of the line of the ordinary occur
FENCES in that place. Rev. George c.
Needham, the noted Irish evangelist,
addressed an audience of about
thousand men on the subject of sin and
salvation. For an hour he held his audi
ence Speil-bound as he graphically
illustrated his remarks by incidents
which have happened to him from boy
hood to the present time, and several
times these touching variations, so forci-
bly, yet truthfully presenting the truths
brought out in his talk, melted the
hearts of the hearers to tears. At the
close the reverend evangelist requested
those who were Christians to rise on
their feet. and the larger part of the
audience arose. He next called for those
VINO were DESTROYS of forsaking their
evil ways and accepting the Lord Jesus
as their savior to manifest it by rising,
and again quite large number arose.
Mr.. Needham requested all who had so
arisen to come forward after the close Of
the service, as he desired to shake hands
with them, and between twenty and
thirty came forward.
An after meeting was held for short
time, i'll which several testimonies were
given, and q number arose and said
from that time they wanted to, and, with
Gods help, would live Christian lives.
This is the first appearance of Mr..
Needham in st. Paul. He has ID very
fOrcible yet pleasant way of putting
the truth. and, both i'll his manner of
delivery and his personal appearance.
he reminds one very strongly of Spur
geon. An orchestra of twenty-five
pieces and male chorus of eighty
voices, with Nathan Ford as conductor,
added largely to the intrest of the meet
ing.
Mr.. Needham comes with an expert
ence as an evangelist of twenty-five years
in this anu other countries. and is a
writer of some note. He will address
a meeting for men only again at the
same time and place next Sunday.
These meetings at the Newmarket
theater are under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian association, and
admission is by tickets only. which can be
had free to all men applying for them
at the association rooms, corner Ninth
and Wabasha. Mr.. Needham expects to
| give Bible talks to business men every
morning this week, excepting to-day,
from IL TO IL. at the rooms of the Y. NJ.
G. A., and evangeiiStic addresses every
evening Will be ID the House of Hope.
Mr.. Needham will also give series of
gospel lectures on the Jewish taberna-
Gle, illustrated by beautiful model,
from to 5 O'Clock every afternoon this
| week except Saturday at the House of
| Hope Presbyterian church. The meet
| ingS and lectures are free.

Drama company opened weeks en-

Grand opera house. The piece pre-
scented was 1.-The Dear Irish Boy" and
is of the traditional type made famous
by Dixon Boucicault in 1.-The Colleen

and mechanical effects were firSt-class

house. The changes made and liberties
taken with the story are very startling,
but they add to its smoothness oil the
stage, and i'll no way detract from its
interest. Miss COombs portrayed the
difficult part of Lady Dedlock in good
style, and was ably assisted by MIR.
Gossen as Lawyer Tulkinghorn. The
remainder of the company were quite
good, and the fascinating creation of
Dickens was Interestingly presented.
Tonight "Bleak House" will be re-

emigrants objected. they were hauled

were served with a black deeoction that
they were told was coffee, and layers of

not drink the coffee, and it is doubtful
If they could have fayed the sandwiches

the poor emigrants had to produce a

which can be CLEANED among the officials

for the friendly interference Of the po-
lice, it is impossible to say when OF how
the family would be again united. To
gain his point the hotel runner is a
warm upholder of the policy that the
end justifes the means. Distressing as
no doubt is the position which poor peo-
pie are ofteptimes placed in, there is a
comical side to the hotel runners efforts
to procure patronage from rival. What
can be more laughable than to see a
man, bewildered and strange to the
country, standing OIL the sidewalk be-
tween two runners, one having forcibIy
taken possession of his vaIise and the
other of his hat and coat? What is he

Hon. Tim Byrnes says the agricultural

AGAIN THE CAR SERVICE.
Hamline Citizens Have a Griev
ance Against Tom Lowry.

The monthly meeting of the HamIine
Citizens union was held Saturday even
ing. A large-sized kick was made by
the members against the city railway
company, owing to the outrageous car
service which is being provided this
district. A car is run at intervals of an
hour and half. This is of no benefit
except to those who have plenty of time
to wait. The first morning car does not
leave Hamline until o'clock. This is
entirely too late to accommodate any
who are compelled to be at their place
of business at 8 O'Clock. The people
wish to be reasonable, at the same time
they consider the present street car
service an imposition. The union ex-
pressed hope that the railway COM
pany will see the ACCESSIBILITY of giving
Hamline at least another car, and az
ranging the time to accommodate the
people.

TROUBLE WITH A BIG BEAR
He Was Simply Tired and Wanted
to Ride Like the Others.

The cinnamon bear Nevada which
the Natives of Hydraulic Parlor took
San Francisco, made the boys some
trouble the day of the big parade, says
the Grass Valley Tidings, When he
was brought OUT to take place in the
procession he went along all right for
two or three blocks. Then the excite
ment that permeated the two-legged
natives of the Golden West extended to
the shaggy brute, and he begun to give
expression to his overcharged feelings.
He growled and snapped in a manner
that aroused his two valiant leaders
apprehensions to high pitch. To
make the situation still more serious
it soon became apparent that the cobble
stones of the city streets were hurting
his feet. When two or three blocks
had been trayersed he "bueked" and
neither petting nor pounding could pre-
vail upon him to proceed. The natives
hired an express wagon and bruin set
tied down into it with a grunt of salts
faction, enjoying the ride immensely.
