ADJUSTMENTS.

One of the largest audiences of the
season, and that, too, at advanced
prices, greeted the first appearance in
this city, at the Grand opera house last
evening, of the prince of comic opera
comedians, De Wolf Hopper, with his
big company of Seventy-tYe or eighty
people in Castles in the Air." The
opera owes it origin to Charles Byrne
and Gustave Kerker. The music is es-
peciaily tuneful and catchy, but
there lis no particular claim
made as to its originality. In
its composition Planquette, LecOcq.
and HerVe have not been forgotten, nor,
indeed, Sir Arthur Sullivan. but Ker-
ker's models are all good, and the work
is particularly clever all through. To
interpret it, one of the strongest, if not
the strongest opera boutfe company
ever seen in this city, has been engaged,
and patrons of the Grand last evening
had the advantage of seeing genuine
New York production. There is no
particular claim TO plot, but there are
number of incidents strung together
by Ginning chOruSes and tunetul
songs that serve to introduce a most
delightful band of players who
seem to work together as one big,
laughing, happy family. Bewitchlng
Della Fox, as Blanche, was just as bub-
bling and refreshing as a spring of
fresh water. She sang, danced and
acted with spirit and grace, while
Anna O'Keefe, Elvira CroiX and Miss
BerriSford completed the Hopper bOu-
quet of beauty and grace. As for The
big comedian, De Wolff Hopper, he
simply carried everything before him,
md SING and danced until weary
Thomas Seabrook followed along at the
head of another lot of comedians that
kept the audience in constant roar.
Don't fail to see Castles IN the Air."

A Presbyterian Meeting.

There was large gathering of Pres
byterian ministers at Westminster
church yesterday morning. Charles L:
Thompson, an attorney and lay member
of the church, with DR.. Burreli. will re-
present the Presbyterian denomination
at the general ministers meeting and
in the work of investigating the pro-
posed extension OF the patrol limits.
The resolution warmly Endorsed DR..
Burrell ''for his outspoken denunci-
alton of certain things in the preludes
to his regular Sunday evening sermons,
for which, in certain quarters, he has
been harshly criticized. The petitions
protesting against the extension of the
patrol limits are still in the hands OF the
preachers. DR.. Burrell read paper on
the "1nspiratiOn of the Bible" before
the meeting. His colleagues request
DR.. Burrell to nave the paper printed
in pamphlet form and distributed among
the members of the congregations Of
the several local Presbyterian churches.
A number of st. Paul ministers were
present at the meeting.

THEY WANT AN ACCOUNTING.
Litigants Claim That Backus
Didn't Settle.

William II. Adams, Joseph Cassidy
and Frank Helson have petitioned the
court to have an injunction issued pro-
hibiting E. w. Backus and Peter Z.
Swensen, as sheriff, from foreclosing "a
mortgage Oh four lots and buildings in
Remington's Second addition to Mime
apol's. The petition sets forth that a
note and mortgage was given Backus by
Fred E. Z. PabSt for s!4,500 with the
understanding that he was to pay off all
claims and liens against the building.
and render an accounting at the close,
the MORTGAGE only placing the property
to him in trust. The plaintiffs claim
that Backus has never paid off any Of
the claims. and has taken steps to fore
close the mortgage held upon the prop
erty in defiance of the agreement. The
court is asked to grant an injunction,
and to order Backus to give all account
ing. The plaintiffs have claims against
the real estate, and want to collect
their bills in spite of the mortgage
given by Pabst, the former owner.

He Denies That He Tried to Elude
Hoy in St. Louis.
Leo Heilpern appeared before the
criminal court yesterday morning &C
companied by his attorney, who entered
plea of not guilty in his behalf. The
attorney made the plea that he had
been given the case rather suddenly,
and wanted the case continued until he
could study it up. The trial was
finally set for trial Jan. 26, when County
Attorney Than will have a chance to
go before the public in his first impor-
tant case. Heilpern's attorney wanted
the bail reduced, as he insisted that he
could work much better on the case
with his client out of the tolls. MIR.
Than objected Oh the ground that he
had heard Detective Hoy say that his
priSOner'had tried to escape him in st.
Louis. Heilpern at once jumped to his
feet, and denied the statement point
blank. He said he was in Mexico when
Hoy came to Texas, and went over to
give himself up. Mr.. Than said he
wouldn't be responsible for the mans
appearance if the bail was reduced, but
Judge Lochren concluded to cut it down
a couple of hundred, and placed it at
$1,000. So far he has been unable to
procure bOndSmen.

Yesterday the police commission met
again, and again it fell victim to that
bad habit of meeting behind closed
doors. But 1t didn't do much beyond
talking over police affairs in general.
1t was decided to insure the North Side
station for $4,000. Officer McNulty was
granted five days leave of absence. and
load of applications for places on the
force were received and placed on file.
The heads have not yet begun to drop.

MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

"Say, Mary, that fellow don't seem to
be MORN eighteen years DID, said a
man to his wife at the Grand last night
just as De Wolf. Hopper finished his
topical song. But he made mistake.
The big comedian is really thirty, al
though on the stage he capers like boy
of fifteen. Just like big kid" as an
other admirer put it. lie seems to over
flow with animal spirits. He doesn't
seem to be playing part, but to be just
"a-cuttin up capers."
But with all MS flattering success,
Hopper has not allowed his head to be-
come the main part Of all air ship. An
other popularity about Hopper is his
unwillingness to talk shop" 1t de-
serves mention, for where is the actor
or actress who is not ever ready to lapse
inlo Mysteries, Il love my art talk. ETC.,
all of it designed for the public ear.
TO Illustrate: A new acquaintance last
night asked Hopper how long he had
been on the stage.
Just ten years." was the reply.
"For further information OH this highly
interesting subject pass right on to the
grand euro hall, first door on the
right"
lie wouldn't talk about himself, nor
would he be discourteous, so he turned
it off in joke.
Mayor Winston Joined the single tax
league last evening. 1t is presumed his
honor is familiar with The causes of
Poverty and Progress" as dilated upon
at length in Henry Georges work Of
that title. Mayor Winston has reason to
feel proud of presiding over city in

progress and but comparatively little
poverty. A careful reading of the re-
port of Secretary Hall, of the board Of
trade, evidences the progressive spirit
of the times in Minneapolis. and the

Senator McMillan,s Idea.

Senator Mcmillan, of the Hennepin
delegation, is reported as saying that
the delegation proposes to fix limit to
the cost of the new city hall and court
house. Senator Mcmillan does not be-
lieve the building can be erected, orna-
mented and furnished for less than
S3,5OO.O00. The estimate Of $1,000, 600
does not include the cost of the electric
plant and engines. The senator thinks
it will require 100000 to furnish the
building, and 100000 additional to fin
ish its corridors and Offices as elegantly
and appropriately as any one of the
quartette of handsome Office buildings
in the city. ID. M. Clough will resign,
it is said, as commissioner if the delega-
ton fixes limit to the cost of the
building.

StanleY,s Servant.


"You know, {" said Willard Adams, of the Audi
forum, "that Stanley has an Arab body servant
whom he picked up in Africa. This persons
him. for once in the interior Of Africa Sail saved
the explorers life. He is good looking. swarthy
young fellow. though not black like negro. On
Stanleys trips three times across Africa, Sail
with him and the two became much attached to
each other. So when Stanley came back to civil.
zation he brought Sail with him, and he carries
the Arab youth everywhere with him.
"Sali has nothing to do but wear picturesque
toggery of the Arab Sort with red fez which quite
sets him off and gives him really distinguished
air. One time shortly after Stanley had returned
to England he was the honored guest at law
party where only the biggest of England's social
lions we're invited Stanley takes him everywhere
and would stay away from the queens castle if
Sail were barred. Somehow it got whispered
about among the titled ladies present that Sail
was Arab or African prince. and, the idea hav-
ing been suggested, gossiping tongues quickly
accepted the fact. Presently, greatly to SANKEY'S
SURPRISE he noticed Sail with the Duchess of So
and So on one arm and the Baroness Blank on the
other, parading up and down, while other titled
ladies followed them about. When the luncheon
came Sail took ono of his new found admirers in
to lunch and responded to the your highness'
that were showered upon him with perfect equa-
nimity. He was smart enough to take advantage of
the error and to be for little while member Of
royalty himself.
AFTER luncheon number of the ladies confided
to Stanley that they were charmed with Prince
Sail. his companion, and asked to know all about
him. Stanley, with an amused twinkle in his eye
told them that Sail was a model servant and that
he thought everything of him. The ladies were
fearfully mortified and fastened to seclude them
selves for the rest of the afternoon You see, in
England, it makes all the difference in the world
whether you are charming in yourself or whether
there is a handle to your name."-Chicago Post.
