ing's session with the bells thorough
introduction, and the second evening
wend their way to al uptown hotel or
90 to Merriam Park to avoid the noise.
The general opinion is: Ring them all
day, if necessary, but give them at
least nine hours rest in the evening.
st. Paul takes another jump this week
and scores big point in inducing the
Walter A. Wood Mfg. Co. to locate
here. The company have capital
stock of 81, 100000. $1,000,00o Of which
was subscribed by the business men of
St. Paul. Work will soon be commenced
on their buildings which will cost about
100000. The territory to be supplied
by the company comprises all the coun
try west of Ohio, down the Ohio river
to it's entrance to the Mississippi and
down the latter to the Gulf Of Mexico.
The concern will employ $50 from
the start, which means at least an ad-
ditlon to St. Paul's population of 10,-
Coo In all probability the location of
their plant will be on the west side
Ievae.
Money Mad'' is the title of the play
which will please the patrons of the
Grand next week. The play is written
by Steele MacKay the author Of 'fHazel
Kirke" and paul Kauvar." It is
founded on the experience Of money
mad millionaire, and serves to show to
what degree a mans finer feelings
may be blunted by his love for gold.
In the 5th act is the famous Bridge
Scene. The bridge has working draw
of some so feet in length, which swings
out over the orchestra into the auditor
lum to admit of the passage of a lake
steamer built on the same generous
scale. The very idea of such piece of
stage work is enough in itself to fill the
average theatre goer with wonder. The
cast is strong one and the piece one of
unusual merit.
VIM. Edwards made things lively on
Jackson street few evenings ago.
William is an all round crook and as
the holiday season is rapidly approach
ing he no doubt conceived the idea Of
distributing few Christmas presents
among his friends, with this object in
view he quietly wendell his way to the
jewel1y store of j. E. Ingham. MIR
Ingham being engaged at the time and.
Edwards not being to wait he sent
twenty pound stone through the front
window which made noise like the re-
port Of an investigation committee.
He then decamped with tray Of dia-
monds valued at So 500. In his haste he
fell and upset the tray but managed to es-
cape. The case was at once reported to
chief OF police Clark and chief Of detec-
tayes John O'Connor. Too much credit |
cannot be given these two officers for
the perslstency with which they worked
no the case, and the fact that Edwards
lsin limbo now speaks for itself as 9
warming TO others who may feel tempted
Is run against the police department. Of
