ADJUSTMENTS.

That magnetic AnglO-Swedish play,
sole Olsen," the first and most success
full of all of this kind of stage produc-
ton, caused the standing room only"
sign to be displayed at the Lyceum
theater last evening, where it began
weeks engagement. Some two years
ago j. II. Skunk conceived the idea of
b"ilding play around the Swed-
isl immigrant as a central figure.
The idea proved a decided novelty and
succeeded in making such vast amount
of money for its protector that 1t was
soon adopted and initiated by many
others, the outcome of which was the
rapid presentation of Peter Peterson"
lyon YOnsOn" and no less than half
dozen other plays Of this kind that are
now touring the country. The cast
presenting "Ole olson is by far the
best ever seen here, especially the
character of Ole. That was played by
Ben Hendricks, who gets much more out
of the part to a very noticeable degree
than did Gus Hegee or Robert Scott,
who have been seen in the role before
tn this city at another theater. Miss st.
George HusSey deserves a special COM
mendatiOn Tor her performance Of an
Irish character part. What added much

was the original Swedish ladies' quar-
tette, which. sang several songs during
the evening, to the intense delight of
the audience. Alice Evans, last seen
here with "A Brass Monkey" does
some clever soubrette work. "Olc Oh
son" will run a week, with matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Pop
ular prices.
An audience that completely filled
every part of the house enthusiastically
received the production of The Bot
tom Of the Sea" at the BijOu last night.
The story of the play is wild and i'm
probable, but it presents splendid OPP
pOrtunities for startling scenic effects
and loud sentimental expressions.
William A. Brady, who adapted the
piece from the French novel, never has
shown any regard tor cOngruity in
any of his wOrk-and "The Bottom of
the Sea" presents the same highly i'm
probable situations as all the other
plays he has produced. George p. Web
SteT has a strong, difficult and thankleSs
part, that of the Greek adventurer. and
his work is above mediocrity. Felix
Haney, as the Irish servant, kept the
audience in a continuous roar of laugh
ter, his specialties scoring heavily. j.
M Brophy. Ross D. O'Neal and Fanny
Cohen were clever. Same bill all the

CONSIGNED TO EARTH.

III. G. HarrisOn's Friends Look
Upon Him for the Last Time. -
Yesterday those who had known Hugh
&. Harrison in social and business
walks gathered at his late residence to
do honor, to look for the last time upon
his mortal remains. 1t was a remark
able gathering, that crowd of people
that filled the house and a portion of
the lawn at 1112 NicOllet avenue, both in
size and in component parts. Seldom is
such gathering seen in the city of Min
neapolis. Men were there who had won
won honor in public positions; wealth
in private life. The Minneapolis Clear
ing-HouSe association attended in a
body. All these men delighted in doing
honor to their dead friend. They had
known him at his best, and for years !;
for from that gathering not many men
who occupy prominent position in the
business life of Minneapolis were alb
sent. There was also a gOOdly Sprink-
ling. too, of men who had been be-
friended by the deceased; men in thread
bare garments and frayed linen who
stood in the shadows, difident of mix
ing with the crowd, yet none the less
sincere in their desire to show their
feelings.
DR.. o. II. Tiffany, of the Hennepin
Avenue NJ. E. church, conducted the
simple religious services, assisted by
Rev. F. o. Holman. Rev. j. F. Chaffee
and Presiding Elder John Stafford.
Rev. j. F. Chatfee pronounced the eulo-
GUM. 1t was brief, but impressive,
devoted to earnest comment upon the
simple transformations life of the de-
ceased.
After the services, the friends were
allowed last lock upon the face of
the deceased. Then the body was
borne away to Lakewood and consigned
to earth. The following gentlemen,
chosen from the directorate of the Sc
curity bank, acted as pail bearers: S.
G. Robinson, George Summers, DR.. f.
A. DunsmoOr, c. G. Taylor, w. J.Dean,
w. NJ. Tenney, F. A. Chamberlain and
J. I. Wyman.
The floral offerings were particularly
beautiful and appropriate. Among
them were a crown of white flowers,
presented by the executive board of the
Hennepin Avenue NJ. E. church; pill
low of roses and japanese lilies from
the employees of the Security bank
SiXty-fve large roses, one from each
member of Mrs. Harris0n'S bible class 4;

A WESTERN SYMPOSIUM.

Californians Speak at Plymouth
Church on What the Future
Holds.
At Plymouth church last evening
two Pacific coast gentlemen spoke
upon the topic, 1.-THE Kingdom of
Christ Upon the Pacific Coast" The
principal speaker was Rev. ]. K.
Mclean, of Oakland, Cal. He read a
chapter which he called a Pacific coast
chapter, in which one of the Hebrew
prophets said, 1.-The desert shall bios
som as the rose" A few years ago
California was a desert. California
was not only the ultimate west, but it
would have the highest ciyili-
ZatIOn. Civilization began in
Asia. There its first faint
CLEANS lighted up the night
OF barbarism. Steadily burning, its
beacon lights moved west to Greece and
Rome, thence to Germany and England.
Then, with the Puritan immigration to
Plymouth, it went still farther west.
Since then the star of empire had been
moving west ACROSS the continent. tie
did not claim that California had yet
reached this exalted stage, but that it
was destined to; in fact, the two civili-
cations, the one coming from the east
and the one from the west across
the Pacific would meet there.
San Francisco was, to-day, the
most cosmopolitan city in the world.
From all these varied elements would
be evolved such a civilization as the
world had never seen. 1t was in ac-
cordance with the law of progress, as it
has gravitated from east to west, for it
to eliminate and flower upon the Pa
cific coast.

Wolley spoke of his experiences at

One thing is certain, these cross
street tracks must be put down or taken

of them. The city is being damaged

would be glad to see the Hastings and

they do not want to injure the road.

 The indications that men will be able to fly before they become angels increase. h. genius men in Australia, France the United Statas and other countries are at work on flying machines. MT. Maxim is now build ing large machine which will be 100 feet wide and 40 feet long. The motor will weigh 1,900 pounds and, since it pushes 100 pounds, it will be able to lift 40, 900 pounds; and the total weight of engines, generator, water condenser, water supply, pounds. The steam will be generated by heating copper by petroleum and of course will be condensed after being used.a The whole thing will be propelled by two great differing from the screws of ocean steam CTS more in their broader blades than in any other particular. MT. Maxim says that he will test his machine as follows: It will be placed at an angle of about one foot in IS inches on railroad track 12 feet wide. At 30 miles an hour it will barely skim along, the pressure of the air under meath it being then equal to one pound for each square foot, or just sufficient to lift it. At 35 miles an hour it will begin to rise, and as the speed increases it will mount higher and higher.

Quick Treatment Of fPneumo mia.
 From the New York Worid1

The wife and mother may often, by her watchful care, ward off from herself and family that dreaded and most insiduous disease, pneumonia. This disease always has well marked symptoms, and if the first two are taken in time the patients life is almost invariably saved. The first stage is congestion of the lungs. In the days of our grandmothers Congestion" meant something terrible, but in the light of modern science we understand that sim pie cold in the head is congestion of mild form. AS result of congestion, which is caused by too much pus, or blood, in one spot, inflammation and chill, slight or excessive, follow. If the chill is slight the patient will rally if kept very warm in bed, and tablespoonful of best brandy, in water, given every two hours and one drop of aconite every alternate hour.
 If the chill is severe and there is an at tack of influenza, with high fever, the doctor should be at once summoned. If far away from physician continue the brandy, given in hot water hourly, anti febrin in five grain doses every six hours, and aconite in one drop dose every hour.

NEW YORK,S GARDEN.

One of the great attractions of Boston is her public garden, and now, it appears, New York has discovered that she needs one. The law recently enacted authorizes the formation of corporation composed of well known citizens. This corporation is to raise not less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars within five years. When that sum is raised the commission CTS may take part of Bronx Park, not exceeding two hundred and fifty acres, and use it for the purposes of the garden. An additional fund to the amount of half million dollars is to be raised by the is- sue of city bonds. An important stipula- tion of the act is that "the grounds shall be open and free to the public daily, in- cluding Sundays, subject to such restric- tions only as to hours as the proper care, culture and preservations of the said gar den may require; and it's educational and scientific privileges shall be open to all alike, male and female, upon such neces- sary regulations, terms and conditions as shall be prescribed by the managers of those departments"

AS the volume of money increased the shoes rose in pro portion, until about the close of the war pair such as had cost $5 was cheap at $15O, and a barrel of flour that would have cost S1o brought $500, not because flour was scarce but because money was too volu- minous.
