NOTE AND COMMENT.

No doubt 1t would wound the delicate
sensibilities of George K. Shaw were he
to be classed in the same category with
that famous robber who, in the guise of
beggar. wor ed upon the good heart
of the Arab sheik and retaiated by
stealing the Arabs horse, but, to fair
minded people, his action in causing
the prosecution of Broadhurst and Dean
for an offense committed for the accom-
mediation of Shaw. will seem much the
same.
What name shall the Harris theater
be givennOw that it has been purchased
by the Grand opera house syndicate?
that Manager Conklin is trying to UNI
tangle. Shakespeare says:
whats in a name?
A rose by any other name would smell as
sweet
But we who have watched the ups and
downs of the Harris tbeater since its
birth in this certain instance must
declare Shakespeare a little off For
from the very outset the name of the
Hennepin Avenue theater, with the
kind assistance of the management,
proved disastrous. Its present name
seemed equally unfortunate for two en-
terpriSing resident managers. the pretty
PerSianS. and the gentleman after whom
the place of amusement is named, to the
tune of several thousand dollars. All
those sending in suggestions will please
get them to Manager COnklin within the
next ten days. as probably after that he
will play his first regular attraction and
must necessarily have a name to insert
in his contracts.
1t is not to be wondered at that John
A. Mooreis ok. The certainty of spend
ing ninety days in the wOrkhouse is
enough to make any man of such fine
SenSibilities as Moore possesses little
uncomfortable. By the way, can't
Christian science do something for him?
NJ F. Hanley is being mentioned as a
Democratic candidate for probate judge.
Mr.. Hanley has been in Minneapolis for
eight years, and is one of the Oldest and
best known of the young Democrats.
He is brother of J. A. Hanley, recently
traffic manager of the Chicago, st. Paul
IL Kansas City road, and now with the
Santa Fe road.
Gentle reader, when you hear it said
that so and so "had large package
with him last night" do not hastily
conclude that Mr.. ). tOted an original
package. He mad broken the seal.
The Evening Jay has within couple
of days, caught on to the term yellow
as expressing contempt. which leads to
the assumption that the head line
architects of that sheet are green, to use
so antiquated a specimen of newspaper
slang.
A man was heard to remark yes
terday that North Star lodge, /. 0. 0. F..
would be composed of odd fellows in
deed, if they did not celebrate their vic
tory at Chicago. The coroner's jury
verdict was justitiable homicide.
The supreme court has decided that
the manufacturers of alum baking pow
deIs must so label their goods. Some
such action is urgently needed for the
men who put up benzine. logwood and
fusel oil and call it-you know.
The ruling passion is strong in death.
Yesterday when j. F. Conklin received
a Knockout blow as the result of a col
lislon with another player in chasing
after fly, he opened his eyes, gasped
for water, and then whispered family,
