The stage child as q rule, is an exam
pie of juvenile precocity, or irritating
mechanism, which is only tolerated be
cause of its years. or rather lack of them.
There occasionally fowever, loom ON
the theatrical horizon, a player of ten
der years, who, without being unduly
precocious or too highly trained, is q
pleasure to see and hear Such a child
is Miss Oracle Hopkins, who is to be
seen as Little Lord Fauntleroy. To say
that there is nothing to object to in her
performance is poor praise. She has all
the qualifications for such an ideal char
acter. Her style IS frank. engaging,
buOyant. She suggests all the brave.
manly spirit of Cedric Enrol. How few
characters in books are ever realized on
the stage. But it is justified by thu nat
urnal grace, the gentle vivacity. and the
touch of pathos which combine in rem
dcring Miss Gracic's Little Lord Faun-
tleroy one of the most pleasing and de-
lightful stage impersonations ever seen

on old iron rails that are laid on dirt

are OF heavy steel, the track smooth and

A man IN Meade county sold a section
of land. fenced entire, good pump and

circumference, for s1.0O per acre, during
the dry spell in the earlier part of the
season. The man had fifty acres Gown
to wheat and this was thrown in. The
rain came, the wheat revived, and it
now looks as good as any in Kansas. and
it alone will more than reimburse the
purchaser of the land. 1t is not related
but We will wager dollars to doughnuts
that that man is making strenuous eff
orts to make his boots and the seat of
his pants come in vigorous contact, on
account of the mistake which resulted
from lack of sticking qualities.

St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-03-31

if the fortunate paternal JEFFERSON
made any memorandum in his diary at
the time, it will be found to be April 2,
1743. Others insist that April 13 is the
day that should be used. Their view ia
that the latter date is to be taken the
same as WASHINGToN'S natal occasion
is the 22d. and not the 18th of
February. Under the ''old Style chro-
nology dates are pushed back eleven
days, or rather the "new style'' adj
vanced them to that extent. The latter
was adopted by Great Britain and her
colonies in 1852, and historians of events
prior to that time add the eleven days
to bring them into chronological har-
mony with the present usage. Some
political agency at Washington sends
out requests to commemorate on the cd
of April, but the regular observance at
the University of Virginia. near Month
cello, is always on April Is. Those who
would have the true date will. of course.
take the latter. 1t is not necessary to
mention that JEFFERSON died on the
4th of July. Such patriotic thoughtful
ness is rare.

THE MINNEAPOLIS CHARTER

The new charter for the government
of the city of Minneapolis has passed
both houses of the state legislature, and
is now with the governor, awaiting his
signature. Nothing further need be
said of it than that it has the practically
unanimous approval of the Minneapolis
delegation, and is the fruit of the most
serious and protracted work on their
part. Mr.. MERRIAM ought tor this, if
for no other reason, to add the final
requisite for its enactment. and the
GLOBE has no reason to doubt. that he
will. He has over and over again ex-
pressed himself as favoring the princi-
pie of local self-government. and when
the representatives from an interested
section indorse a measure which con-
Germs it it is pretty conclusive evil
dence that it is well adapted for
the purpose intended. 1t is one of the
unfortunate features of our generally
admirable system that what is to all in
tents and purposes foreign body
should have the task and prerogatiye OF
prescribing laws for our smaller pOlit-
zeal units. HOW can member from
kandiyohi or Blue Earth county pass an
intelligent Judgment on the local needs
of Duluth or st. Paul? 1t is really i'm
possible for him to cast his vote in full
knowledge of the situation unless he
follows the expressions of opinion which
he hears from those who have been reg
ularly chosen to voice the wishes of the
| district affected. If its representatives
| do not understand its needs, no one can.
| The governor appreciates this situation.
and where there has been TO division of
| sentiment in the local delegation, as
there has been none in this instance,
| his work is nothing further than for
mality.
In one of THOMAS HARDY'S novels
there is very effective picture of a
| faithful shepherd dog, which was one
day, by chance, allowed to taste the
flesh or lamb killed in the run. Stimu-
lated by the experience. and in mis-
taken zeal, he shortly afterwards de-
voured all the hero's flock, and out of
the ruin which followed comes the plot
of the story. There is feeling abroad
that, having once begun to use his veto
! power, Mr.. MERRIAM is now liable to
embark on career of executive car
mage which will put ANDREW JOHNSON
in the historical background. There is
probably nothing in this. Our governor
knows the difference between dead
lamb and living one, and he is not in
| clined TO figure as an obstruction on the
clearly expressed popular desires.
