DRAMATIC DATA.

Tom TaylOr's "The Ticket-of- Leave Man"
will be presented at the Grand tonight The
play is one which. although well-known and
old, has lost nothing of its dramatic worth by
its repeated presentations in this city. 1t has
always been a popular favorite; the happy
blending Of comedy with the more serious
situations and climaxes renders it OF intense
human interest, and the story is one that ap-
peals to everybody. There are number Of
exciting events, and more of sensational
features than in The Bankers Daugh ter'

addition to Mr.. Lifts other popular artists,
will include Miss Jessaline Rodgers and
Frederic Book. who will be seen in connec-
ton with Lifts company for the first time
The presentations OF The Ticket-of- Leave
Man" should prove attractive and fill the
Grand opera house to its utmost capacity for
the entire week.

There is but one week remaining OF the
summer stock season after the present one.
and those who have enjoyed the good work
of Mr.. Lifts players during the brief stock
season will, without doubt, improve the few
remaining opportunities of seeing this COM
pany That the stock season has been an
artistic success cannot be doubted, and we
are assured by the management of the Grand

1T WILL BE THE WAY.

= The attempt to discredit the actual
operation of the new method in the adj
ministration of the death penalty is a
doubt, by the electrical companies
which seem to have been determined to
prevent the use in this way of the swift
motor force. But the theory that cleo
tricity on the wires has not the fatal
potency claimed is difficult to maintain
in the face of multiplied facts. The Off
cial report of the New York tests is ac-
cepted as conclusive of its fitness to
take the place of the rope. The ''eruel
and unusual notion has no further
standing. The physicians in the report
pronounce it superior to any other
yet devised" for destroying life de-
Gently. 1t will continue the legal
method in New York state and be
adopted with more or less promptness
by all the states. 1t is the fact that
marks the progress of the age in de-
cency and refinement. The gallOws, in
all its accessories, is relic of barbar-
ism that will soon be wondered at as
having had a place in hui name age.
Nature does not erect the gallows. but
it has been furnishing illustrations all
the time by the use of the lightning
of how to kill people decently. The
neat and expeditions work OF the electri-
cal force is free from the revolving feat
ures that so often cause juries and ex-
ecutives to turn away from the gallows.
1t is TO be hoped that the time will
come when people will not need killing,
but until it does it is better to make the
process as free from painful and de-
moraIizing features as possible.

THE edison VERDICT.

1t was currently stated that the late
decision in the United States circuit
court in favor of EDISON. as the patentee
of the process by which the electric cur
rent is divided and the ineandescent
light made possible, will benefit the
Edison company a good many millions.
The commercial value of the invention,
if it could be permanently mOnopolized,
would be enormous, but the case has
still to go to the United States supreme
court on appeal. The movements in
that court are not electric. and as the
patent has but three or four years to
run, it is not probable that EDISON will
realize any very great advantage from
final decision i'll his favor. 1t is con-
eeded that EDIsON's rivals in the con-
test were also original inventors, but
they were beaten in the race for the
patent office. 1t does not seem quite
just that parties should be shut out en-
tirely for this incident.

THE DRAMATIC UNTrJEs.

The question of dress is one of the
vexed problems of t G modern stage.
Some authorities contend that absolute
historic fidelity is the only course which
managers are justified IN following. But
another school Of critics insists that the
beauty of the picture presented should
be the controlling guide. They would
not have actors representing classical
characters wear costumes of the fashion
Of to-day, but on the other hand they
would clothe SPABrACUs, for example,
in a gay-colored tOga, although he never
wore such thing, because it looks bet
ter to the eye in contrast with the rest Of
the stage setting than would the white or
dun-hued tunic which was probably his
ordinary garb when he pitched his tents
in Campania.
There is a good deal to be said for this
latter view, and it is the predominant
one in dramatic circles at the present
time On the other hand, in society
plays. the scene of which is supposed to be
cOntemporaneous with the date of their
presentation, the costumes, it is agreed,
should conform to the prevailing mode
on the street. In such dramas women
should not wear gowns which would be
impossible in the walk of life to which
they are represented as belonging. act
Ors should not appear in dress suits in
the morning, and black frock coats and
black broadcl0th trousers will be adj
mitted to lie out of place on young bust
ness men who are supposed IS be work.

MAYOR WINsTON,s MANHOOD.

MAYOR WINSTON'S MANHOOD.
The GLOBE desires TO give unqual-
flied Endorsement Of the course of Mayor
WINSTON, OF Minneapolis. in his order
for the enforcement of the laws against
prize fighting and kindred "amuse-
ments." Mr.. WINSTON is known as
successful business man-alWays level
headed and broad-gauged in bis deal
ings and intercourse with his fellow
men. He has the clear sense TO know
the right. and the courage to practice
II. He says:
Until had read the law had supposed
that sparring or boxing matches with four
ounce gloves. or heavier, were permissible
in this state. They are not, however, and l
do not propose to place myself in direct an
Iagonism with the governors authority. and
to put myself before this community as ac-
ouiescing in an open infraction of a law that
is as plain as a c. Besides all this, l am,
personally. not favorable to prize fighting.
l have not made this order as a bluff. or in
an effort to get under cover or into anybody's
band wagon l make it because l believe it
is right, and because l know it is III harmony
with our laws. Had read these laws be-
fore. the order would not have been as long
as this in coming out
As the GLOBE remarked in c0nnec-
ton with the same subject III regard to
the course of Gov. MERRIAM, 50 1t says
on behalf of Mayor WINSTON, he de-
serves no especial credit for performing
a plain duty: yet it will be the pleasure
and the pride of all clean and law
abiding citizens to cordially and firmly
uphold his hands in his determination
to enforce the laws when called upon to
do so.
In this connection the GLOBE takes
the liberty of quoting a sentiment from
private letter received to-day from one
of the ablest and broadest-minded mer-
chants of this city; and it cordially ap-
plies this sentiment TO both Gov MER-
RAM Except as to his break with the
military and Mayor WINSTON. The
writer says:
81 must thank you for the earnest and thor
oughly correct tone Of the editorials III the
GLOBE, in the last few issues. on the prize
fighting question. If our civilization is to be
advanced and the moral status Of our people
heightened, 1t viii be largely assisted by sucn
teachings in our Influential papers. All good
citizens are indebted to YOU
Il make this order" says the mayor,
t'because l believe it is right, and be-
cause | know 1t is in harmony with our
laws" This is a manly utterance well
phrased. 1t has the ring of a clear brain
and good health.

DON'T KEEP BOOMERS.

This world is bad enough at the best, but
unless you want TO drink the dregs of misery,
never keep roomers. There is the young man
who is always just expecting money from
'his people'-but never gets it-from which
expression you will rightly infer that he is
the usual impecunious Englishman, who
finally goes out for day at the lake." but.
alasl never returns. After few experiences
of this kind you get too smart to send out a
searching party for his dead body, having
learned to understand these disappearance
You simply seize 1.-The few holey'' shirts
and last years hat and bricks that his bog
contains and advertise again.
Il
You will probably then get the man
who battles twelve hours in the twenty-four.
until you feel that you have had misunder-
standing with him, and he probably thinks it
was the bath room you rented him. Then
there is the one who makes it principle to
forget his latch key and arrives home at
a. m. and arouses the entire household in
cluding the family and neighbOrlng cats,
who afterwards refuse to be comforted, not
withstanding numerous bootjacks that are
contributed with that view. Your other
roomers appear in astonIshingly airy cos
TUNES, armed with dumb bells, lamps and
shoe brushes. Almost any article that would
be entirely unserviceable toward suppressing
the festive burglar.
Il
1t has always been an unsolved mystery
why people waste time picking out the most
useless articles for burglar warfare, when
simple wash pitcher of water in the hands of
an irate female will paralyze the stoutest
male heart (and head). But to return to the

obliged to swallow terrible desire TO drop
even one dumb bell on the offending head.
II
BY the way, there are those awful dumb
bells; the rest of your roomers probably
leave, complaining that you must rent out
the top story for a pop factory. when in
reality it is only the dry goods clerk, whose
ambition is to become an athlete; who
strengthens his muscles at all or any hours
of the day and night and who usually pays
for 6xS room. You can imagine the havoc
wrought when he undertakes to swing
an Indian club er dumbbell, and
then, when half dozen or so have left

BOON NOTICE.

Il. De WalIace's new book, know
Thyself, or the Value of a Moral Re-
spect," which was announced for the
first time last week in the local papers
of our city, and which will appear about
the last week in August, is attracting a
good deal OF attention in social and
business circles, where the author is
well and favorably known. Hon. Dan
iel W. Lawler has written a short pref
ace to the book, in which he speaks
very highly of Mr.. De Wallace's first
literary effort. The book treats of the
moral aspects of self-culture, and is de-
signed for young people, being protest
against the superficial tendencies of

tracing parties, or their legal fitness
