ADJUSTMENTS.

"The Two Sisters" Thompson and
Ryer's successful domestic drama,
opened at the Bijou opera house yester-
day at 2:30 for lii engagement of six
nights and the usual matinees. This
1avOrite play was seen at the Grand
opera house in this city last season
where it was most favorable received.
The play is much Oh the order of the
"0ld Homestead" and, like the latter
play. has built its characters on Amer
leans scenes and localities. 1t
is a wonderfully interesting
drama. 1t entertains every mo-
ment. and touches the best emotions
of human nature while it teaches more
than one lesson Of life. 1t is 4 simple
story we'll told, and while there are few
situations in it that might be called
startling climaXes, there is a tender
pathOS about the whole structure of the
play proper that penetrates the soul.
Ire company presenting this piece is a
thoroughly capable one and embraces
many players of excellent merit and
reputation.
Cleveland's Ministries stopped on their
way to California TO give a performance
at the Grand Opera house last evening,
and had a fair, although top heavy
house. The show is about the same as
seen a few months ago, but is not SO
strong numerically, and is far from hay
Ing improved artistically. The WOLF
derful Cragg family is the chief feature,
and redeemS the show.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly will answer
Col. lngerSoll at the Lyceum next
Thursday evening. Mr.. Donnelly's rep
utation as an orator, and his subject.
Which is a reply to Col. Ingersoll, should
crowd the Lyceum to the doors. Col.
1ngerSoll will occupy n of the boxes.
Seats are now on sale at Dyer Bros
music store at regular prices.
The County Fair" Neill Burgess
successful comedy, announces a seven
nights engagement at the Grand to-
night. Wherever this piece has been
produced the theaters have been too
small to accommodate the audiences,
which is the best proof of the excellence
matinees, Wednesday and Saturday.
The sale of seats for the Ingersoll
lecture at the Lyceum on Friday even
Ing will open at Dyer's music store this
morning at 10 o'clock. Mr.. Ingersoll is
on his way home to New York, from
Helena, Mont, the scene of the famous
Davis law suit. Large inducements
were offered him by the Lyceum man
agement, and lie finally consented to
apSear. He will present tor his subject
n IN which he has won much fame.
Myth and Miracle" is the suggestive
title of the subject. II it is said to en-
brace many of this talented lawyers
ideas on religion and is also said to be
more than rich in the o~ratorical flights
and poetical expressions that have
justly made him so famous. The same
schedule of prices as prevailed on the
occasion of the former lecture will be

GERMAN IN THE SCHOOLS.
How the Matter Is Handled in
Minneapolis.

A. I. Ankeny, president of the board
of education, speaking of the matter of
teaching German, which is now being
discussed by the st. Paul board, said
yesterday: I'm the Minneapolis course
of study the English language alone is
taught in the primary and intermediate
grades. In the high schools during the
first year Latin, German and French
are allowed. In the second year Greek
is only allowed, and the same in the
third n fourth years. This has al
ways been our rule, and it works salts
factOrily. There is no Likelihood of the
language being extended to the graded
schools, and there has never been any
demand for it whatever. Even in the
nigh schools there are four courses
which the student may select from,
namely, the English, the Latin, the
elias steal and the literary courses. The
language question therefore has never
given our board any trouble.''

A short time ago a girl named Minnie
Nichols, a Minneapolis girl, went to Du-

there who said there was plenty of work
in that city. Arriving at the depot her
friend failed to meet her. and she in
quired of a young man if he knew where

THE STAFF OF LIFE.
The Bakers Threaten to Go on a
Strike.

A big meeting of the bakers union
was held in Labor Temple Saturday
evening. at which a representative of
each shop reported the answer of the
boss to the manifesto issued Two weeks
ago by the union. The majority of the
reports showed that the bosses had re-
fused the demands made of eleven
hours for days work, with SO per week
for bench bakers and SIS for foremen.
There was considerable of a discus
sion as to whether the men in the oppos-
ing shops should be called out at once or
next week. 1t was finally decided to
give the boss bakers II more week of
grace, and if they did not agree to the
demands made to call the men out next
Sunday night.

The Estimate Too Small.

The loss by last Thursday nights fire
in the lumber yard is much greater than
was at first estimated. Messrs. Day &
Co. estimate that they lost about %. OOO.-
600 feet of lumber, valued at Sl1 or SO
per thousand. This means a loss OF be-
tween $780, 600 and $3.50, 600. The in
surance also was way off. the total
amount being S126, 000, and not $40, 900,
as at first feDorted.

Fletcher was given great credit at
the time for his undying love (?) for tn g
party, but there are very few who un-
derstand the situation just as it is, and
this publication of what led to File tch-
er's interference in the charter matter
will surprise Fletcher as mu CHI as any
one else. Fletcher was, of course. act
uated by personal motives. aud took
this means of solIdifying himself with
the party. Fletcher, though he thinks
a good deal of his big farm in Dakota,
would willingly give any man
a clear title to the same,
if by doing so he could
secure a seat in congress. 1t has been
his ambition for years to write NJ. c.
after his name, and though he came
very near getting there once, a supposed
friend from Isanti county went back on
him. and hat floating iceberg, j. 8.
Gilfillan, was chosen. Fletcher is shrewd
in some things, but he is far from being
polite. He is too spiteful to be a sue
cessful politician, and unless he gets out
and appeaSeS some of those people whose
hair he has brushed the wrong way more
than once. he will not be nominated for
congress a year hence.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-05-25

The sum and substance of this tele-
gram, which is here given, will no
doubt fall like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky on Mr.. Fletcher, and while it
may create hard feelings between the
members of the inner circle because of
its publication, still the GLOBE could
not think of deprivIng its thousands of
readers of such a fine piece of
news to keep peace in the Re-
publican family. Well, here is
the secret: 1t was a game
to do up the Democrats from start to
finish, and Fletcher, like many other
Republicans, say that the city charter,
il passed, would make the Democracy
solid, and so he urged the governor to
veto the bill under pain of not getting
any Hennepin support for the United
States senate; besides Fletcher wanted
to go to congress, and if Merriam would
not veto the charter and promise to help
Fletcher to congressional hoDors, Mer-
RAM might as we'll concede
Senator Davis reelection. This
was a powerful club for one man to hold
over another. and Fletcher, being an
athlete himself, swung that club to per-
lection. The governor, after reasoning
with himself on the status rerum, con-
Guided that H~ennepin's support was
very essential in the contest, and so the
veto was attached. This is the true YER
sion of what led to the governor vetoing
the charter.

Senator Washburn Is said to be OPP
posed to Fletcher's candidacy very
much, and that he expressed himself
more than nee in this vein in the past
six months. OF course, he is not here
now, and though he is not, his lieuten-
ants are here and keeping him we'll
pos ted. The reasons gwen for his OBJ
lections to Fletcher's candidacy are
based simply Oh personal grounds,
and that is enough for Wash
burn. Should Fletcher get the
congressional nomination, and if elected
he would want to get too many places
for his friends, and that would cause
trouble at the start, as Washburn, up to
date, has filled all the local federal Of
fees without giving Sam Snider a
chance TO look on and see how it was
done. Then again a United States sem
ator and a congressman from Hennepin
county would appear too much for one
county, and outside counties would
not like it. So of course there are many
things that Fletcher must do before he
can answer the congressional roll call in
Washington. Good reliable political
prophets predict that Fletcher might as

on as to go to congress, sc many are the

the world does not move as fast as they

The average citizen, who rarely talks
politics out of season., would not sus-
pect that such men as Loren Fletcher,

such skyward-bound politicians as Tim

as much as when he and Fayette Marsh.
of Saltwater, ripped up things gener-
ally six years ago only to get the worst
of it.
Fletcher began early to map out
things, and he has rot got through vet.
1t was during the session of the legisIa-
ture, when Gov. Merriam was debating
with himself about signing the Min
neapoliS new city charter, that Fletcher
saw the opportunity of a lifetime. and
it would not be the Little Villain'' did
he not embrace it. Though he was not
in the city, he was just as active
and certainly more Influential than
a good many of those who were. He
was not in Europe, though he promised
early last fall to go there for the winter
if the Republicans would excuse him
from accepting the mayoralty sacrifice.
He was East, and when ne learned that
the Governor had made up his mind to
