One of the interesting features OF this morn
ino's news is the account of the graduation OF
the first class. consisting of eighteen young
,non from the bellevue Training School Tor
Male Nurses. Training schools for young WON
on who wish to become nurses are no novelty
and if is well that the dcsilabity of pro-
fcssional training for nurses OF the Othef sex
has been recognized This school, by the way
furnishes good illustration OF wealthy man
wisdom in bestoving Il portion OF his 1cheS
where it will certainly do much good and DO IL
during his lifetime. Such disposition OF wealth
is far more commcndable than poSt-mortem
benevolence even on an immense scale.

William Ii. Crane, one of the leading
American comedians. will commence a
three-nightS engagement at the Grand
opera house tonight. when he will be
seen for the first time in this city III his
celebrated comedy called The Sena-
tori This play succeeded in entertain
ing the patrons of the Star theater,
New York city, during all of last season.
Seats can be secured at the Grand box

The wealth and culture of the city
promise to be present at the monster
benefit that is being arranged for
Charles A. Parker, to occur at the
Grand opera house Monday evening,
Nov. 9. The attraction to be offered
upon that OCCASION will be the Carleton
Opera company, who will then present
for the first time here the latest New
York Casino success, called Indigo"
This is the most important event under
lined III theatricals for the coming
month.
Several hundred people were turned
away from the opening of "The Stow
away" last night at the Bijou. The
scenic effects and the artistic merit of
the players have been considerably inn
proved since the play was last seen
here. The realism and climax of the
production stand out strongly. A real
safe is blown and several murders are
committed, with a thoroughness to
merit the vociferous applause of the
patrons. The same bill all the week.
A large audience saw Michael Stro-
goff'' at the Pence last night and
heartily enjoyed the performance. The
specialties introduced helped greatly in
keeping the audience in constant roar
of laughter. There is also bevy of
very pretty girls who go through two
very clever marches. ''The March of
the Fire Ladies', and 1.-THE Parade Of
tue Housemaids." The cast is in the
hands of very clever people, the scenery
appropriate and the wardrobe elegant.
Altogether michael Strogoff'' is well
worth seeing, and judging from last
nights pleased audience it will do a
fine weeks business. 1t will continue
every night this week with usual matt
nees Wednesday. Friday and Sunday.

swords were stacked about, and the
hostess wore a red, white and blue
toilet. After Assembly had been
sounded on the piano, the guests were
detailed in companies of four. each in
charge of a corporal of the guard. They
were told that they must make charge
upon ennui, the blues, and kindred
enemies. This was to be done thus:
Each company in turn was to etertain
the assembly with some performance
tableauX, charades, pantomineS and the
like.
Half an hour was given the companies
for arrangements and rehearSals, the
resources of the house being put at their
disposal, after which the entertainment
was given. At the conclusion of the
performance the enemy was declared
yanquished, little banners were pre-
sented TO the members of the company
Which, by common consent. had done
the best fighting. and the supper" call
sounded. On the tables in the supper
room were stacked flags, and the place
OF each guest was designated by tiny
nag bearing his or her name.
A peanut party will be another of this
seasons novelties. If written invita-
tons are issued have two peanut shells
painted in water coIors on one corner OF
the paper. The hostess provides her
self with quantity OF peanuts and con-
eeals them i'll every imaginable spot in
the rooms where she is to entertain her
guests-behind pictures, under mats,
among the flowers, everywhere there
are peanuts. After the guests have all
arrived small bag is handed to each
one, and the company are told that who
ever first fills his or her bag with pea
nuts wins the prize of the evening.
Then begins the merry hunting-here,
there, and ywhere-tor peanuts. A
pretty way is to have the bags made of
silk, with ribbon or cord and taSSel at
the top and fanciful design of peanuts
on one side; they are then preserved as
dainty souvenirs.

He had come TO the hotel late in the

press and her boys to Felixtowe was
evidently an extremely pleasant one. A
correspondent writes to London
paper:
The five little princes of Felibtowe
won all hearts by their unaffected boy
lsh manners, but, now that they are
gone. no one speaks of them with great
er affection than the donkey boy Joe, :"
who. every afternoon, proudly ran be-
hind his three fieetest donkeys-
each mounted by little lad
in sailor suit. The crown
donkey should be a KICKER" and it
was pretty sight to see the dear little
fellows gailoping along the sands and
taking the wooden breakwaters at full
| speed. AS an instance of their kind
ness of heart may tell you that. on the
| occasion of the birthday to which you
referred in your paragraph, seeing
Joe" pass their windows they rushed
out with plateful of birthday cake,
which they insisted on his taking away.
Too rich for me-" said Joe afterwards.
81 could only eat little bit of it. !"
Another day when riding the crown
prince, trying to urge his donkey to Il
faster gallop, caught Joe" good hit
across his forehead. He was so dis
treSsed at having hurt HIM that he was
|; reduced to tears, and it was some time
before lie could be comforted, repeatedly
begging Joe to forgive him. They
wanted him to go back to Germany with
them. but this Joe refused to do, and if
you ask him the reason he says he does
not like ''going so far from home.''
The little fellows bathed whenever it
was fine, and swan well. One could
not help feeling of astonishmentt0 see
the way they were allowed to bathe-
without any ropes and no one in the
water with them. One day, as
the donkey boy was leaning against
their gate, the policeman tried to
push him away. At that moment
the empress happened to come
up, and. noticing this, she held up her
hand and said to the policeman in her
pretty English: "You leave the poor
boy alonen' AT another time Joe was
on the beach. and, to his surprise, the
empress went up and shook hands with
him. He says: 81 never felt SO
ashamed in my life. Why, before
everyone. and there must have been
over 200 people there. l didn't know
which way to look!'' 1t was pretty to
see the empress sitting on the beach,
seemed devoted to their mother and
putting their arms round her neck.

CRIES OF MURDER
StartIe the Guests, Who Rush to
the Scene of Slaughter.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The startling cry of murder" rang
out from room on the third floor of a
Fourteenth-street hotel the other even
ing, catching the ears of a several
chamberlnaids, created instant conster-
nation. ooh. Heavens, Let up OH me!
Don't kill me by inchesn' were the
agoniZed cries that followed each other
at short intervals.
1t was the voice of man. Besides
the chambermaids, the blood-curdling
words alarmed all the guests on the
floor. and in less time than it takes 10
tell. a knot of intensely excited people
had collected in the corridor, all talk
ing, all gesticulating and all afraid to
go near the room whence the cries had
come.
WHO occupies the room?' asked half
a dozen women in chorus.
One of the chambermaidS recollected
having seen small man, pale and ema-
ciated i'll appearance, accompanied by a
tall, cloSely-yeiled woman, enter in the
afternoon.
The woman was surely killing her
male companion. She seemed to be
submitting him to some sort of cruel
torture, for muffied means were dis
tinctly neard now by one or two Ill the
crowd.
Finally, clerk came rushing up from
the office. The intelligence of 1.-THE
murder" had been carried down in
GREATNESS haste. He knocked at the
door violently, eXcitedly.
''In the name of the law open the
door," he demanded.
After some little delay the door was
opened. a woman smiling, but with a
look of establishment, peeped out and
asked what was wanted.
Whats going OH here? Who's being
hurt?"
For moment the woman looked en-
barrassed. Then she broke out into a
peal of laughter, which was echoed by
the voice of MAJ within.
Whats all this about?" again asked
the clerk. angriIy
why. Sir" she stammered demurely.

Century hall with all its seating
capacity was far too small to accom-
modate the vast crowd which fiocked to
the peoples meeting yesterday after
noon. Long before the service began
the hall was filled and many were turned
away. Rev. G l.. Morrill, occupied the
pulpit. and as had been announced, de-
voted his discourse TO what ne terms the
l'parochial anneXes' at Farlbault and
Saltwater, he having ust returned from
rigid inspection OF the Scn0ol systems
Of these two cities.
The discourse was devoted largely to
narration of Mr.. Morrill's experiences
during his investigating trip. and he
stated that the manner OF conducting
these schools was even less changed
than was generally believed. His in
formation he had CLEANED from citizens.
scholars, members of the school board
and from personal observation IN
the schools themselves, and he mad
found that these schools were nothing
more nor less than parochlal anneXeS.
There had been, he said, few changes
in the ~xt books used, but nothing fur
Their. The teachers were all Catholic
and the scholars also, as none OF the
Protestant families would send their
children to schools conducted as these
were. The teachers, he said, were all
nuns. and dressed as such, with their
beads and crucifiXes, and the pictures
and emblems of the Roman Catholic re-
Iigion still remained in their former
places.
At Saltwater lie had found that relig-
ious exercises were held before school
hours in a building adjoining the
school, and after school closed right III

Catholic religion we're prominent in the
school room, and, from conversation
with scholars, lie leaned that religion
WAS by 10 means excluded from the
school.
At Faribault the condition of affairs
was much the same. The teachers
were all nuns, and the Catholic pictures
and emblems were found in the school
room, while over the teachers desk
hung picture of the pope. He had
talked with Supt. West, of Faribault,
who did not appear to regard the state
of affairs as serious. He said he had
visited the school with members OF the
board, and had had the pope's picture
removed, but it had been replaced.
He had also talked with Supt. Will
son, who admitted that he was not salts
fled with the conduct of the school at
that place.
Another point which the preacher
dwelt upon, and which he said was sig
nificant, was that while in Saltwater he
had met Father Conroy on his way to
see the Saltwater priest. In conclu-
sion, he demanded in the name of the
American people and Jehovah that
these schools which had been turned
over to the state and had become public
schools be removed from Roman Catho-

pictures and images, and in fact all the
paraphernalia of the Catholic church be
excluded from them, and all influences
tending in any way toward this religion
be removed. He also advocated re-
diStricting of these schools.
