THE LOCAL STAGE.

A week of good attractions at the sew
eral theaters began last night, with good
audiences in each instance. r. ID. Mac
Lean and Marie Prescott opened their
engagement at the Metropolitan with
"Spartacus." Mr.. MacLean is a TRACE
dian of already good parts, and with a
promise he is yet young enough to full
fill. "SpartacuS" is of the nature of an
oft told tale to the public, but is never
without its admirers. In the title role
Mr.. MacLean is strong throughout, and
clever always. Miss Prescott is one of
the most winning and attractive figures
on the stage of to-day, and the part of
Senona really affords her but few op-
portunities. The company, as whole,
is good one, and accords even support.
Tonight cleopatra" is the bill, and
will be the star attraction of the engage
ment. In ''Othello," tomorrow night.
Miss Prescott will appear in the role of
Iago.
The Grand has strong bill this week
in Hallen & Hart's Later On" There
is nothing in that title, but much in the
play, which is about the best all-around
speciality company the Grand has had
this season. Besides the principals,
who are very clever, there is strong
company of singers and dancers, and
the play bubbles over with fun. 1t will
be certain of good run.
Music lovers will get treat at the
Peoples church. tonight, in listening
to MIR. Santley. Owing to the early hour
at which he must leave the city on Tues
day morning, 1t has been found impos-
Sible to hold the informal reception
which had been planned.
There is no more popular form of
amusement to the average theatergoer
than first-class, refined minstrel per-
formaHce. The programme which
George Thatcher and his famous COM
pany OF minstrel favorites will present
at the Metropolitan opera house next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday even
ings and Saturday matinee cannot fail
to please all lovers of pure. clean fun,
delightful melodies and graceful dane
ing. The artists who assist Mr.. Thatcher
in his efforts to please are chosen for
their proficiency in their several lines.

The Office of Ii. c. Swift. collateral

of a rather shrewd confidence game,
played in the highest style of the art by
very particularly swell member of the
profession. Mr.. Swift had stepped out

Ingenious young man retained as clerk
and assistant. The proprietor of the
business had scarcely got clear of
the threshold when two customers
stepped in. The ingenious young man
was impressed by their appearance.
They both wore the very shiniest of silk
hats. sported the most elaborate of
checks and diamonds of impressive size.
NV hat can do for you, gentlemen?"
inquired the ingenue.
One of the callers replied that he and
his friend having run against a stiff
game the previous night, he desired to
borrow little money on diamond stud
until he could get a remittance from the
East. The diamond was produced and
examined by the young man IN charge.
1t looked all ht, but to make matters
dOubly certain he left the office in
charge of boy and skipped round the
corner to jewelers. shop. where he sub
mitted the ring for examination.
Oh yes, the stone was all right.
Worth at least 500. The clerk ran
back to where waited his gorgeousiy
plumaged customers.
How much did the gentleman wish
to borrow?
Well, he wanted $3.50, but 500 would
answer the purpose.
The clerk, desiring to accommodate
a customer, suggested S135. all the cash
there was in the house, and the offer
was accepted. The borrower put the

and fastened to the jeweler who had
previously been consulted. The latter
took one look at the stone, then another
at the loan agent. There was half
smile on his face as he said:
Mr.. Swift, this is not the same stone
examined short time ago. That was
a diamond, this is paste"
The loan agent turned sadly and
walked back to the East Fourth street
establishment. He spoke gently to the
ingenious young man for, of course, he
was not to blame, but there was disgust
in the heart of the money lender. The
Chicago swell had rung the changes on
the stud, and he was out just S135.

Called to Select Delegates.
Tuesday. the 18th day of May, A. D.
1891, at the city of Cincinnati, in the
state of Ohio, will be held a general
conference of all the friends of labor,
and opponents OF monopoly and greed.
The Citizens Alliance of Ramsey county
is entitled to send three delegates to
this convention. 1t will there be de-
cIded whether the laboring classes will
take an Independent stand in national
politics and enter a candidate iii the
presidential race. W. q. Evans, chair
man of the executive committee of the
Ramsey Alliance, has issued the follow
ing call:
Notice Is hereby given that joint
convention of the Citizens Alliance of
Ramsey county, and all other good and
true men Of said county who desire to
join such Alliance, and labor with it
for the welfare of their fellow men, will
be held Monday, the 18th day of May,
1891, at s o'clock p. M, in the city of St.

and to transact such other business as
may properly come before said meeting.

waves of thought sweeping the civilized
world at the present day. Everything
is becoming more secular. Sunday is
different. Social customs are different.
Are we to tear down the partition
walls by making the secular sacred?
This is particular problem given to re-
ligion in our time. If we can make our
amusements, our thoughts and our COM
mon ways of life right, and therefore
divine, we shall solve the important re-
ligiouS problem of the'day. But, to do
this, we must tear down some of the
conventional ideas about sacred and
secular things.
In closing the speaker gave a descrip-
ton of the palace of the fortress of
MachaeiuS and the death of John the
Baptist at the feast of Herod. He SAID
it was fit ending for such life and
proper crown for such a martyr. Lin
coin without furrows plowed in his
face by care; Napoleon practicing for a
drawing room reception; John Brown
in his luxurious palace reading book
on the habits of good society-are these
things to be expected? No; the iron
clad was made to plow the sea and face
the guns. Nature made the eagle to
face the storms and defy them. Her
scream, accompanied by the storm wind
'on winch she is borne, makes wild but
natural music. So was the death of
John the Baptist such as became the
storm-tossed saint of God. Only be-
yond the grave could he look for rest.

Eastern Papers Still Believe the
McHaIe Bill Passed.


In spite of the fact that the defeat of
the McHale bill was sent out broadcast,
about half of the Eastern papers are
still publishing the passage of the anti
tights act, commenting upon it and
teazing Minnesota. The Twentieth
Century very fiercely attacks the bill
on the ground of personal rights, and
says:
This law excludes the ballet the skirt
dance, female circus riders, all SO-calIed leg
shows from the Minnesota stage and it also
prohibits ''As You Like II. " Twelfth Night"
and perhaps other of Shakespeares plays
wherein the heroine is obliged to dress in

tied from doing SO by persons who do not
wish to see them. How much better it is to
allow those who wish to see such shows to
see them, and those who do not wish 10
see them to stay away from them.
Should not each person be allowed
to do as he wishes in such
matters? The law referred to will
not improve the so-called morals of the peo-
better or worse by law. The passing of anti
lewdness laws can at best only increase the
hypocrisy of the people by driving them into
doing secretly what they cannot less in.

the Grippe-Signs of Its Ap-
proach and How to Counteract
Them.
The discussion as to the cause of the Grippe
is OF course interesting, but gives little salts

It's faYages continue and the country still
bends under the scoErge. In Chicago, re-
cently.the deaths from this cause were so great
that the undertaking facilities of the city
were insufficient to meet the emergency. The
deaih rate is correspondingly high all
through the Northern and Eastern states.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed on peo-
pie that, in order to ward off the disease,
warning symptoms must be regarded and
prompt action taken. 1t becomes extremely
difficult to dislodge the disease if allowed to
take Its course. Hence its name. 1t gener-

about the eyes may be all the caution one
gets, so 1t IS culpable eareleSSnesS to neglect
even these slight signs.
The remedy lies IN stimulant, and the
preference should be given to whisky. All the
doctors of the country are agreed on this
point, but are very careful to impress on
their patients the fact that pure whisky alone
must be taken. Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is
the pureSt on the market and can be readily
obtained at all drug stores. This preparation,
which is indorsed by all the leading doctors,
scientists and chemists of the present day. is

The announcement that the Demo-
cratic prosecuting attorney of Otter Tail
county is now in the city may sound
strange to those Republican politicians
who have been accustomed to regard
that large county as one OF their party
Strongholds, but they will have to rec
Oncile themselves TO the fact that po-
litical change has taken place in North
ern Minnesota. Among the strong men
elected to fill the county offices by the
Democratic aid Alliance voters of Otter
Tail county last fall there are none
more popular than Hon. VI. j. DAILY, of
Perham. Mr.. DAILY is graduate of the
law school of the University of Iowa,
and has practiced his profession with
great success at Perham ever since
his admission to the bar. He
is staunch Democrat. and has
always found time TO do yeOman
service for the Democracy on the stump
in every campaign. Last summer he
was nominated by the Democratic con-
VentiOn for prosecuting attorney, and
subsequently indorsed by the Alliance.
His majority over his Republican COM
petitor in November was about 1000,
which, considering the fact that the
county in previous elections was always
good for over 1900 Republican maj iOrity,
