MINNEAPOLIS,
ADJUSTMENTS.

a Texas Steer, with practically the
same cast as when seen here last season,
opened an engagement for the balance
of the week at the Grand last night.
Like all of Hoyt's productions. 1t is a
satire that is funny. 1t evidently
pleaseS the people of Minneapolis. for
it caused the standing room only sign
TO be brought down stairs and be
displayed on the front door in the full
glare of the street lamps. The many
persons who stood up to enjoy the play
wished that they could sit down. 1t
would be so much easier to laugh. For
one cannot sit through aperformance of
- Texas Steer" without laughing II he
has any appreciation of keen satire, pun
gent wit and genuine humOr. There is
plenty of satire, for HOyt never wrote
anything that was not satirical. but the
satire is the medium for displaying the
humorous side of the satiriZed. The
play seems to be in for big business at
the Grand. After the second act Charles
II. Hoyt was called before the curtain
long enough for him TO apologize for the
absence of his private secretary and his
consequent inability to make a speech.
The BijOu drew large audience last
evening to witness the performance OF
a Hole III the OIOuuu. 1 nc dppcdI-
ance Of several new persons in ther cast
seemed to brighten the performance
wonderfully. A matinee and evening
performance tomorrow, will conclude
the engagement. Seats are selling rap
idly for the Money Mad" engagement
the coming week.
At the box Office of the Grand opera
house this morning the sale of seats
will commence for the engagement of
Fanny Rice, who will be seen at that
place of amusement OH Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday in "A Jolly Sur
prise"

PLYMOUTH's ANNUAL.
It's Membership Has Decreased.
According to the Clerk.

The annual meeting of Plymouth
church was held last night in the
auditorium of the church, aid the fol-
lowing church officials elected: Dea-
cons, d. c. Bell and II. c. Selden: dea-
cOnesses. Mrs. E. a. Pratt and Mrs. c.
II. Wood; members of prudential COM
mittee, J. w. Woodruff: clerk. II. p.
Hendley member Of music committee.
nj. Cushman.
All of these were reelected with the
exception Of the two deacOnesses. The
election Of superintendent OF the Sun
day school was referred to the pruden-
tial committee.
The report of the clerk showed that
the membership of the church has suf-
fered decrease of ffty-twO members
in the last year. 1t is thought that the
lack of pastor for large portion of
that period is responsible for the
decrease. The present member
ship is 1,0S4. During the year
there were eight deaths and eight bap-
tisms. The clerk said that there was
no indication of the church failing. He
called attention TO the small number of
persons engaged in any special line of
church work outside CT attending sery-

ices. Less than 200 are engaged in any
of the special branches. More activity
is needed in that line. He reported
that the pledge fund for benevolent
purposes, mission work, etc., received
IS, 464.74 during the year. The disburse-
ments were s7,946.46, leaving balance
of S523.2S.
The kindergarten wants stated sum
of money set aside for that work, be-
lieviDg that more and better work can
be done if the society knows just what
it has to spend. The Women's Foreign
Missionary society sent, during the
year, S950.35 to the American Board of
Foreign Missions. The Home Mission
airy society collected S1,OO4.O3. The
average attendance upon the newsboys'
Sunday school is $50. All the missions

ALDERMANIC DIFFERENCES.
Other Aldermen Called in to Re-
COncile Parry and Woodward.

1t was expected that there would be a
caucus of the Republican aldermen at
the council chamber last evening, but so
far as could be learned, none was held.
The caucus was to settle some little diff
ferences between Aids. Parry and Wood
ward, the representatives of the Seventh
ward. Parry and Woodward have been
"scrapping" for some time. One of the
points Of difference between them is in
relation to a street commissioner. Wood
ward. it is said, wants to run the alder
manic business in the Seventh. Parry
has lived there a good deal longer
than Woodward has. He repre-
scented the Seventh before ever
the Legislature thought of putting
Woodward into that ward, and he
thinks that he should have something
to say about the affairs of the ward.
There are other differences between the
aldermen, but this matter OF a street
cOmmissiOnership is the immediate
cause of rupture. Late last night it was
learned that the trouble had been set
tied. William Mari. WOodward's man.
Will be street commissioner. Parry's
man was Jones. his nephew.

sHOPLIFTERs FLOURISH.
Half Dozen Caught at Donald
sons Alone YESTERDAY.


The shOplifter flourishes in the land
like a mushroom in a cow pasture. The
attention of the whole detective force
of Minneapolis is concentrated upon
Nieollet avenue and its stores these
days. The detectives will be kept busy
watching the big stores from now until
after Christmas. The larger places are
filled with the thieves every day. Don
aldsOn's store seems to be the favOrite
mark for the tribe. No less than A half
dozen petty thieves were arrested there
yesterday. Donaldson & Co. are on the
trail OF the shOpllfters. They aunOuSe
that they will prosecute to the limit of
the law every thief found in their store
They have not adopted this plan until
recently. They have always been ac-
cuStOmed to allow thieves caught in the
act to go free if they would pay
for the goods taken. But that
does not seem to frighten
the thieves enough. Hereafter they will
prosecute any one found stealing goods
in their store. One of the women ar
rested there yesterday was an old, gray
haired lady, siXty-five years old. The
employees of the store had been watch
ing her for week or so. They failed
to catch her until yesterday. Another
was z woman from webster. =. ID. She
was plying her vocation with baby in
her arms and two children clinging to
her skirts. The prOprietors had pity on
her because of her children. and extend
ed to her an offer immunity from pun
ishment If she would pay for the goods
she had taken. She attempted to braZen
the matter until the police arrived with
the patrol wagon. Then she broke
down and wanted to be released. She
and the children were taken to the
police station under arrest. The charge
against her was afterWard withdrawn.
She is the wife of 4 prominent man in
Webster. She SAYS that she does not
know what impulse led her to steal. 1t
seemed to be her first offense. The
cases of the others will come up in the
munlcinal court this morning

He HYPNOrIZED HER.
Mrs. Watkins Claims That Detre-
vile Forced Her to Run Away,


Mrs. Watkins, who created a sensa-
ton by clipping with Detreville last
month, has written a letter to friends in
the city explaining how she came to
take such a step. She says that Detre-
vile forced her to listen to his
declarations of love, and that grad
ually he began to exercise a
strange and awful influence over her.
He also forced her to elope with him
at the point of the revolver, and threat
ened to kill. not only herself. but her
children, if she refused to fly with him.
While living with him she was in con-
slant dread Of her life. and was so
closely watched that she could not es-
cape. Her brother finally found her in
California, and rescued her
Her friends here think Mrs. Watkins
was hypnotized by Detreyille, else she
never would have left her husband.
The latter has not decided what he will
do, though he says he will protect his
eTring wife from Detreville.

OPPOSED BY JONES.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of New York Dis
likes the Democratic State Ticket.
BINGHAMToN, N. Y, Sept 1S.-In re-
spouse to inquiries as to his position re-
garding the democratic ticket, Lieut.
Gov. Jones has prepared statement
for the Associated press, but he de-
clined to specify just what steps he
proposes to take to accomplish his de-
clared purpose
Mr.. Jones says that his political ac-
ton has ALWAYS been controlled by his
sense of loyalty as citizen. never rec
ognizing conflicting party obligations.
He believes in this instance that not
only have the interests of the people
been sacrificed but that the existence
of the democratic party has been jeop-
ardiZed, for behind the nominations
and in absolute control of the party
are men whose every sentiment of pa
triotism is subject either to their per-
sonal am bition or their selfish greed
Continuing, Mr.. JOKES says: so
complete is the power of these men,
and so dictatorial have they become
that mem bers of the party are but serfs
SO far as political action is concerned.
Continued subservience but makes the
condition too degrading to be borne by
American citizens. There is but one
way to dislodge these usurpers. The
temporary defeat of the party will be
harmless compared with the effects of
their control
