SENATE,

Two solid hours of the morning session
We're spent in the consideration of general
ORDERS with Senator j. w. Peterson OF
Goodhue in the chair.
The report of the special senate commit
tee on states prison investiga was
handed in at the opening of the afternoon
session by Senator Sanborn, chairman of
the committee. 1t was ordered printed
without reading.
The remainder of the afternoon was
spent Oh general orders. There was dis
cussion on Mai. Reeves house bill providing
for armories for the national guard The
bill puts the construction of armories
Jointly in the hands of the officers of the
CITY or town where the company is located
and the officers Of the national guard but
the expense Of course is to fall upon the
public. The militiamen in the senate
fought for the bill strenuously. Senators
Tawney and Davis, as old officers and
friends of the national gvard, elaborated
upon the usefulness Of the militia and the
value of the soldier boys in case Of war or
not Messrs Crandall and Keller were in
clined to make sport Of the bill and the mi
litia companies, and the opposition devel-
oped so strongly that the friends of the bill
were willing to draw off and report prog
ress.'
The house met at o'clock to-day
afternoon after its Sunday rest. and by way
of king up lost time and striking a bal
ance with its conscience adopted resou-
ton offered by Mr.. Cross, which provides
that commencing to-day and until the end
OF the session the house shall meet every
morning at 8 o'clock and sit until 1880,
meet again at and sit till p. M. and
meet again at 1880 and sit until the house
in its wisdom sees fit to adjourn. The
resolution was carried by vote Of "a
to II.
The house relocated the senate baking
powder bill to the realms of tuturity It
was introduced into the house. and Mr..
Penney moved to have 1t SEM to the ludici-
ary committee. Mr.. Capser thought the
temperance committee could handle the
bill in better style. On the motion OF Mr..
Gross the house sent the bill to the commit
tee on game and game laws.

Saturday. April 4.

A bill was passed allowing alliances the
use ofschool houses for meetings.
The bill requiring all baking powder con-
tanning ammonia to be labeled as such.
Senator Donnelly's petition to congress
for the establishment of a postal telegraph
was passed.
A motion was made to reconsider the
vote by which the Currie bill had been de-
teated yesterday, the motion was lost.
The Hompe railroad BILL which was re-
ported back by the railroad committee,
was ordered to be placed on general orders,
where Mr.. Searle's bill now is, and the prob
ability is that Senator Hompes bill will be
passed by the house.
The only other matter which excited any
degree of interest in the house yesterday
was the report Of the judiciary committee
on the bill to regulate the sale of baking
powders containing ammonia as one of the
Ingredients. The bill provides that all
such powders shall bear plain statement
Of their Ingredients printed on each pack
age. 1t is proposed to amend the bill by
compelling all baking powders to be SO
labeled, and the bill was recommended to
be indetinitel postponed by the committee
After little discussion the bill was ordered
to be placed on general orders.

Private tutors taught him the theor-

OF the father for the musical talents Of
his son. He loved to hear Edwin play
the violin, but the banjo was his IA.
vorite.
Edwin Booth began to demonstrate
the family penchant for art IN early
life. While he was still a school bow
he and John S.. Clarke, his brot her-in-
law, acted the quarrel scene between
"Brutus and Cassius" at a wayside
school house in Maryland, and the
elder Booth applauded their work.
He could not have been more than
fourteen years Of age then, and almost
immediately afterwards began travel
ing with his father.
Edwin Booth developed rapidly in
his artistic career. It would have
been remarkable had he not risen.
He began life with his father, and
while yet boy watched and waited
and studied his magnificent repre-
sensations from behind the footlights
and in a practical way Had he not
lmbibed much OF his fathers spirit he
would have been a dull lad indeed.
While John Wilkes was regarded as
the flower Of the flock, between Edwin
and his father there was a bond OF
sympathy such as never existed be
ween the younger genius OF the family
and his parent. John Wilkes developed
too early, and was too restless and en-
phatlc to suit the grand old man from
whose loins he sprang and who caught
more satisfaction from an association
with the thoughtful Edwin than with
the son who was handsome, talented
and capricious. It was quite natural,
then, that the last OF the Booths as
actors began his career early. In 1S49,
when he was sixteen years of age, he
appeared as Tressel in Richard ILL.,"
at the Boston Museum, his first real
work on the stage. His father thought
he had done very well, but was by no
means inclined to give the young actor
much encouragement.
In 1851 Mr. Booth made his first
appearance on the stage. His father
was announced to appear at the old
National theater in New York in

A resolution from Senator Stevens dirc:t

manuals not yet distributed was adopted.
In the order OF committee reports Sena-
tors Day and Leavitt reported back the bill
asserting the state rights to the Pickerel

simple assertion Of the claim of the state
to the land in question:.
The veterinary practice bill landed unex-
pectedly back in general orders. 1t was
flrst defeated, IS yeas to % nays, then re-
considered, and finally turned over to COM
nlittee of the whole.
When the calendar was finished four bills.
were introduced by permission of the gov
ernor and then adjournment was taken
until 10 o'clock this morning.
The Currier bill, H. F. 9O1, was the eighth
in order on the calendar and when it was
reached there was a large house. only nine
members being absent from their seats,
namely: Messrs Bowman, Campion, Coates,
DOYLE Gallagher, Lloyd, Sinclair, Wacek
and NJ. Walsh.
KILLING THE BILL.
After the bill had been read. Mr.. Searle
offered an earnest protest in behalf of
Stearns county and the city Of st. Cloud,
injuriously affected by the BILL against the
passage OF this bill. Without further de-
liberation or discussion the roll was called
on the passage OF the bill, and it was de-
teated by eight votes.
Thegre was quite a battle over the worlds
fair appropriation bill, made mainly by the
Alliance members OF the house AS this
bill came up for consideration just alter the
Currier bill had been defeated, there was
faint suspicion existing that they were feel
ing sore and perhaps little revengeful, but
all who spoke disclaimed any such feeling.
Nevertheless, they insisted upon the amount
being cut down nom $75, 900 to $50, 600, and
as the author of the bill would not yield
they defeated the bill altogether. Seeing
this Mr.. Reeve offered to accept $50, 600. ii
the Alliance members agreed to pass the
bill without opposition, which they con-
sented to do, and the bill as amended was
passed.
Mr.. Reeve remained obdurate, and the
roll was called on the BILL with the result
ofits being defeated by so negative votes to

this gift was made to the stage and to

All the boys were queer lot, possess
ing more or less OF their father talents,
as well as his eccentricities. Edwin
was by no means the favorite of his
great sire. John Wilkes was always
regarded as the flower of the flock.
It is remarkable fact that Wilkes
Booth made more money in single
season before and during the war than
any actor who has ever lived in that
time. John T. Ford, who managed
him once, told me that his income was
500, 900 a year for less work than any
man OF his time ever drew. He was a
heroic character and studied effects.
He always made an effort to please
the women by doing dramantic things
that were not always in the play. For
instance, in Orchard Ill.," which was
one of his great characters, he jumped
twenty feet over the rocks instead Of
coming down the stairs, and the audi
ence went wild over the scene as he
made it. AS Raphael in the 'sMarble
Heart" he achieved still greater sue
cess, and women and men by the hun
dreds would wait at the stage door to
see him go out, and would beg for a
chance to touch the hem of his cloak.
Unlike Edwin he always studied the
dramatic. He dressed himself fault
lessly. AS a rule he wore kid gloves,
and when his overeoat was not on it

HOUSE.
The house was engaged almost exclusive
ly to-day in passing bills on the calen-
dar, and thirty-one bills were sent on their
way rejoicing. After the routine proceed
ing attendant upon the commencement Of

titions and reports Of committees read, the
task of disposing of the calendar com

he took acaprice that he would not
play and ordered Edwin to go to the
theatre and act the part. While he
had seen it played many times, the
proposition startled him; but there
Was no other alternative, as the faith
er would not,appear. Edwin Booth
acted the part to the satisfaction OF
all concerned, and it is a generally &C
cepted fact that the elder Booth sat
in the audience and witnessed the per-
Torrance, but did not let his son
know that he had seen his first at
tempt upon the threshold Of roman
tic and dramatic career.
1t is now forty years since Edwin
Booth entered into a contract with a
manager in Baltimore to play for So
q week. His success was not very
marked and he soon after went with
his father to California.
In 1857 he played his first import
ant engagement in New York, made a
hit, and thenceforth his career was on
ward and upward
Edwin Booth played with John Nc
Cullough; e.. Z. Davenport and Law
renee Barrett before the war; but after
the clash Of swords he went by HIM
self until recently, when he joined for
tunes with the actor who has just died.
He had little in common with any of
the men who stood compatriot with
him in the artistic field, because of his
retiring habits.
Mr.. Booth played Richelieu with re-
n1arkable power. Iago is perhaps his
greatest part. At least he thinks so.
The public take much the same view
as does the artist, and Mr. Booth GER
tainly gives a great impersonation Of
the treacherous Iago, and few men
have have ever lived who could play Othello
when Edwin Booth acted the willy and
lying Iago. No man who has ever
lived has given SO artistic a finish to
this miserable character as Edwin.
Booth,
In estimating the character OF Ed
win Booth. it is well to take many
things into consideration. He was
handicapped from the start with the
genius OF a father whose traditions
fill up great part of the stage life of
this country. Menlike Forrest. Booth

wish.
Mr.. Booth is just round ling out his
forty years Of experience OF the stage.
Ever since the war he has filled the
public eye more completely than any
actor who has trod the boards. He
has withstood severe criticism, and
yeteenjo the confidence OF the pub

not is question. But taking it all
in all, he has made a remarkable MS.
