ANUS EMENTS.

The Pence is filled every night by the Paris
Gaiety Girls. The great Carita is one of the
most attractive dancers ever seen IN this city.
A matinee occurs today at 2:30, when popu-
lar prices will prevail.
Miss Lillian Lewis will give the last per-
Torrance of Credit Lorraine" at the mat
1nee this afternoon. At the Grand tonight
she will present AS in a Looking Glass; in
which she is seen at her best.
COsgrove and Grants comedians, headed
by Kate Castleton, will commence a three
nights engagement at the Grand tomorrow
evening in THE DaZZler," which is one of
the big successes of this as well as last sea
son. Miss Castleton is supported by Joseph
OFT Lena Merville, Martin ONeil and an ex-
cellent company.
1.-The Burglar drew another large house at
the Bijou last evening, and the engagement
seems destined to be most prosperous one.
Tomorrow, at 2:}0 ladies' and chldrens
matinee viii be given. The sale of seats has
opened up well for Aunt Budgets Baby
engagement the coming week.
The Andrews Opera company put on 1.-THE
Mascot at the Lyceum last night The
opera was as well rendered as anything that
the company has done yet in Minneapolis in
fact better than some. A new prima donna,
new to this city, appeared in the role of
Betrina. Miss Marie Roe sang the part and
did ample justice to it. Her voice is sweet
and well controlled.
Through an unfortunate typographical
error the GLOBE stated Yesterday morning
under this head that the Pence would be
closed for ten weeks. 1t should have been
two weeks Manager Hilton's st. Paul house
will then be ready for its opening.

MRS. EVANS DISCHARGE.
Supt. Bradley Heard She Was
Married and Threw Her Ont.

Supt. Bradley Heard She Was
Married and Threw Her Out.
Another teacher has been forced out
of the public schools because she had
the temerity to get married. Her name
was Miss Merrill, now Mrs. Evans, and
she has been a teacher in the Jefferson
school. She has been one of the most
popular teachers in the schools, but she
got married and that settled it. She
was discharged in rather peremptory
manner, too. Supt. Bradley learned,
wholly by accident, that Miss Merrill
was no longer a single woman. Under
his direction, one of the supervisors
of the public schools went to Mrs.
Evans and demanded her resig-
nation without delay. She was
forced out of her position in the
middle of the week with no chance to
resign. Mrs. Evans feels hurt by the
manner of her discharge. She thinks
that she might have been given a chance
to resign at the end of the month at
least. if not at the end of the term. 1t
is an unQuestionabe fact that she has
the sympathy of the public in the case.
Supt. Bradley is thought to have acted
too hastily altogether. No harm would
have come from the continuance of the
lady as a teacher and she would have
been the recipient of better treatment.
Il don't think l have anything to say
about the matter" said President
Ankeny. II am not anxious to shoot off
without having investigated, as good
many people have done in connection
with this home for the frlendiesS affair.
Mrs. Evans came to see me after she had
been dismissed and she did not seem to
feel very badly about it,"

On being questioned further he stated
that he did not think the committee
would try to hold meeting without
Aid. Bradish, but that he supposed busi-
ness would be promptly resumed upon
that gentleman's return to the city.
In conversation yesterday about the
committee meeting of the previous day.
City Engineer Rlnker said: 81 simply
want to say about Engineer Tweedie's
testimony thar it proves him to
have been either grossly negli-
gent or incompetent For instance,
he says he has known that the
cylinder was out of line tor
a year. If this is so, why didn't he
report it or fix it? That was his duty,
and it was to guard against such things
that he drew salary from the city.
Then Tweedie tells about how the
plunger broke one night while he was
on watch. The gauge for the night in
question shows that the pressure at that
time was ninety-One pounds, which is
practically 100 pounds OIL the plunger.
The contract was that the pressure on
the plunger should never exceed sew
eny-five pounds. Now what was TWeedie
running that much pressure at that time
of night for? / tell you if you give
these fellows enough rope they'll hang
themselves in time"

GRAND JURY CONVENES.
The Usual Pointer From the Pre-
siding Judge

siding Judge.
The December term of the district
court opened yesterday. After GAO cases
were set for trial, an adjournment was
taken until today. In the criminal
court room the grand jury reported and
were set to work by Judge Lochren. In
his charge the judge said:
''There are well, often we'll known
offenSes which our statutes make GRIM
inal, in which the parties who really
sustain the injuries are participants so
as to incur shame by exposure, and in
respect to which grand juries cannot
expect complaints, but should institute
inquiries themselves If satisfied that
Offenses exist. refer to the keeping of
gambling houses and houses of ilI-faine.
These are the pests of society, where
our youth are brought in con-
tact with the worst classes of crimi-
mails and are tempted to expenditure be-
larcenieS and entertainments and other
crimes to obtain money to be wasted
aid Squandered at such places. A
grand jury should do what it can to aid
in eXtinguishing such evils. So far as |
can learn the number of cases to come
before you is not large, and / trust you
will be detained but brief time.''
1t is not thought that the jury will re-
turn any sensational indictments. The
grand jurors are: Thomas Hennessy,
John Oswald, Jacob Barge, r. w. Reid
head, John Vanderhock, John Norton,
Peter Rauen. Charles II. Peake, John
Durham, William Anderson, William
