LYCEUM THEATER.

The attraction at the Lyceum for this week
viii be 1.-The Cardinal Sin," the first per-
formance of which will be given this even
ing. The play is of particular interest to the
theater- going public of Minneapolis The
author is well-known business man of the
city, who proposes TO keep his identity a
recognition in the world. The leading actors,
George NJ. HarbitZ and Miss. Marie Wellesley,
are Minneapolitans in all that the term i'm
plies. Minneapolis capital is back of the
play, and, in case of hit in this city, will
take 1.-The Cardinal Sin" all over the United
States. The play itself is an adaptation of
Emile Zola's novel, IL 'Assommoir,' one of
school OF French literature. No one who mas
ever read the book will ever forget it, the
fidelity with which the author fol-
lows The principals, how he delineates
their passions and temptations and
with what eXactness he portrays their final
departure of the world. Many call LAS
sommoir'' Zola's masterpiece. Certain it is
that in none of his WORKS does he picture
more graphically or faithfully the lives of
is a dramatiZed version and is said to be
thoroughly in spirit with the novel. The end
of the fifth act is said to be exceedingly
strong. In this the drunkard, John Alden,
dies from delirium tremens in its worst FORM
Mr.. Harbitz, who takes the leading part, is
recognized as an actor of great talent. Here
tofore he has appeared only on the Scandi-
navian stage. In his early days he took parts
al the Royal theater in Christiana, Norway,
enviable renown at both. His friends have
encouraged him to go on the American stage,
as it offers a much better future for an am
bilious actor

PENCE OPERA HOUSE.

Louise Atwoods Big Burlesque company,
which will open a weeks engagement to-
morrow night at the Pence, is one of the
most complete burlesque companies now in
America. The Pittsburg Dispatch has said
that Miss Louise Atwood is without doubt
the finest formed burlesque artist on the
stage, and her company of ladies are the
pick of the profession Among them are:
Lizzie Johnston, Sallie Cole, Fannie Rich
ards, Della Desmond, Lulu Milton Mamie
Scanlon, Kittie Pritchard, Lille Williams,
the Sisters Adelphie. Rose Darling. Lulu lie
Marrs Helen Newton, Lena Dupont. Fanny
Waldron, Emma Smith, Minnie Travllle,
all late OF the Casino chours, New York city.
and an extra chorus of fifteen handsome
ladies, assisted by six eminent comedians.
''The Secrets of o Harem" is the name
of the burlesque which was performed
800 nights i'll the Alhambra London,
England, by Miss Atwood and her
company. 1t gives an idea how life is car
ried oil in the Oriental country, and shows
the troubles, trials and pleasures of the
pasha and his eunuchs. The first part repre-
sents the flowers of America, each lady per
sonating different fiower-pictures Of life
by living models. The company carries
all fine, and a strong bill is offered. Mana
ger Hilton is congratulating himself on Sc
curing so fine an organization, as they only
play here-not in ST. Paul-and then go di-
rect to San Francisco for the fall season.
Seats are now Oh sale. The great picture,
the original "Clemenceau CaSe,' as done in
New York ana which has made great SEN
sation at the Pence, will conclude its week

This School-Book War Assuming
National Issue Proportions.

National Issue Proportions.
This school-book question seems destined
to assume the proportions of a national issue
before the discussion of it has ended. The
opinions on the matter are divided, and each
side is equally acrimonious in the debate
Supt. Bradley has no desire to discuss the
question to any extent. He will not say
whether he recommended the changes
or not. That makes it look as if
he had nothing 10 do with the matter If
he had asked that the changes be made it is
not probable that he would have any obiec-
ton to saying SO. His declination makes it
appear that he had no voice in the matter.
and that now he does not want to run coun-
ter to the board. He is disposed TO mildly
defend the board in its action. Some mem
bers of the board are very outspoken j. H.
Rolfe is one Of them. He says that the dis
carded books were full of glaring inaccura-
cies, and that the board did only what was
right in making the changes. j. f MUIR
dock has written a communication which is
evidence of the feeling on the matter. He
says:
Il have four children attending the public
schools in this city. The recent changes in
the textbooks have imposed upon me n tax
of over S.. Now, in all seriousness. l ask
how long are the citizens to be imposed upon
in this manner? If Rev. NJ. f. Gjertsen is re-
sponsihle for This outrage-it is nothing else

be percentage for some one in this case.

IA member of the board. who declined TO
be quoted, had this 10 say on the subject yes
terday.
'All know is that this matter of changing
the books was sprung upon the board very
suddenly. j, at lenst, knew nothing sbOut II
until it was brought up without previous no.
tice at one of the meetings of the board.
