ton calling upon the people of the city

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Grand last night a good-sized audi
ance saw the first representation in Mime
al oils of "Ihe Power of the Press" This
play is a melodrama. Melodramas do not
appeal 10 all classes of theater goers, but to
the people who patronze melodramas 1.-THE
Power of the Press will be satisfying. II is
a good play. 1t has an obvious moral, as all
melodramas have, and the good young man
is prosecuted and the villain is triumphant
for time i'll truly orthodox style. Butin the
end all comes out right, as it always
does in melodrama. AS the title indicates,
the play was written 10 illustrate The power
of the press for good when properly directed.
But this idea is not thrust down the Threats
of the audience in such q manner as 10 be-
come nauseating. AS whole, it is a strong
play, and the characters are entrusted 10 com
pelcnt people, something that cannot al
ways be said about melodramas, The scenic
effects are good and well managed 1t is the
best melodrama that has appeared in Mime
apolis this season and is handled in the best
manner.
The many sensational and realistic stage
effects in The Danger Signal served TO
draw large Monday night audience last
evening to the Bijou. Comedy abounds in
the play and is cleverly interpreted by Paul

Adam Bakers Spree.

Adam Baker, carpenter, got on a
big bender yesterday. and started out
to have all the fun with himself that he
could. He reeled down Third avenue
south, occasionally throwing stones into
a window, just to hear the noise, and
tripping up pedestrians, just to see them
fall. He went into saloon at the cor
her of Third and Second, and picking
up billiard cue struck a man in the
head with 1t. The blow was quite pain
Iul and because the fellow began to
below, Baker gave him another crack
and then proceeded to demolish the
windows and the glassware behind the
bar. Had not several officers put in an
appearance and yanked Mr.. Baker cut
OF the place and over to the lookup, it is
doubtful if the saloon would have been

A BRAVE MAN.
How He Rescued a Lady From
Great Peril.

treat F6rlls
ID. Fred Taylor, treasurer of the Bijou
theater, is brave young man. He has
missed his vocation, for he was undoubt-
eddy born to belong to the lite-saving
corps of some fire department. An
electric car on the Hawthorne avenue
line caught fire near Twelfth street at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A fat
lady became dreadfully frightened and
fell to the floor of the car in fit. Her
position was a dangerous one, for the
electric motor was splitting and Splut-
tering deadly scintillating flashes In
every direction.
''Great heavens. Great heavens! The
woman will perish" cried four other
women. in the same breath.
But no, the poor fat woman (She was
a paradoX), was not born to meet her
death at the hands of the seething and
fearfully mixed electric fluid. Why?
DO You ask, gentle reader?
Because ID. Fred Taylor was on the
scene.
The cry went up, ''Who will save
her?''
81 will" came in manly, brave tones
from the lips of ID. Fred Taylor, as he
dashed through the crowd of frightened
spectators, brushed aside the gaping
conductor. and pushed down the stupe-
fled motorneer.
II will save her." he repeated. Suit
ing the action to the word, he brushed
the flashes Of electricity away from the
PROSTATE woman's form, and, picking her
up by the polonaiSe, carried her to a
place of safety. 1t was noble deed
and nobly done. When the fat woman
recovered she smiled at her savior in a
thankful manner and offered him a lot
of street car checks as reward. ID.
Fred Taylor, however, was not made of
sordid stuff, and, deliberately refusing
the checks, walked scornfully away
toward Hoag'S lake.

of the county commissioners yesterday.
A communication from the other bonds
men was read. 1t stated that they were
willing that Mr.. Brown should be re-
leved provided the treasurer filed an
additional bond of 100000. The COM
missioners, however, took no action in
the matter, and if Mr.. Brown desires
tO'be relieved of his responsibility ne
will have to take the matter into the
courts. An additional bond was pre-
scented to the board for its approval tor

THE HENNEpIN HURRAH
Today's Convention Promises
to Be Harmonious and
Quiet.
Despite His Desires, Mayor
Winston Will Be Named
Chairman.
Preparations Still Hustling to
Entertain the Big Con-
VentiOn.
Interesting Resume Of the
News Of One Day in Min
neapolis.

AS the GLOBE has said all along, the
convention that will meet at Normanna
hall this morning at 10 O'Clock will be
quiet one, unless the few little Squab-
bles that came off at primaries Saturday
night are carried into the convention
and made personal matters. Should
that be done, there may be some fun.
The convention will be found to
have much larger independent repres-
entation than many of the ambitious
politicians have thought. The sentiment
that p. B. Winston should 20 to Chicago
as delegate at large is practically unani-
nous. That is certainty. But there
is nothing to favor the opening up of
any factional fight III the convention.
The majority of the delegates elected to
the county convention want to see
Charles NJ. Foote go to Chicago, too, as
a delegate from the Fifth district. That
is the way the delegates feel. That is
the way they will vote.
1t is evident that Mr.. Winston will be
pushed for the place Of permanent
chairman of the convention. He will
OC ClCCICOs liz VIII PIOO
ably object 70 being put forward in that
way, but his objection will be overruled
as it was at the city convention held pre-
vious to the last campaign. when he was
nominated for mayor. There may be
some discussion over the manner of
choosing the delegates to the state con-
vention. Some of the Democrats have
championed the idea of departing
from the established custom. and elect
ing the delegates from the floor
instead Of appointing committee to
select them. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that any such action will
be taken. 1t seems almost certainty
that the deleg ateS to the state conven-
ton will be named in the usual way
that is, that the chairman will appoint
committee to select them, and that the
selection will be approved in body by
the convention. There will, as it looks
now, be but one contest for the commit
tee on credentials 10 pass upon. That
will be the matter of selecting the dele
CATION from the Thirteenth precinct of
the Fourth ward. There will be two
delegations from that precinct, headed
respectively by Howe Paige and by f.
g. Holbrook. These two rivals will put
up lively argument for recognition.
The decision of the committee cannot
be foreshadowed. 1t will make no diff
ference with the general result, no mat
ter which is recognized.
Some of the mayors friends say that
Foote will not be allowed to go to Chi
cago as district delegate. They are
probably talking through their new line
of spring headgear. The mayor GER
tainly has no desire to treat
Mr.. FoOte in that manner.
The matter of a second district
delegate will have to be settled between
now and the date of holding the state
convention. The name of f. G. Brooks
may be added to the list of possibilities
already published in the GLOBE. MIR.
Brooks stands as good chance of going
to Chicago as any man in Minneapolis.

f. S. Allen, the architect who secured
the contract for the South Minneapolis
school house plans, will arrive in the
city today and no doubt have something
to say regarding the char yes and "roast'
printed in the Northwestern Builder
and Decorator. President Ankefy, of
the board of education, in speaking
about the articles; said yesterday; that
the reason Mr.. Allen was given the con-
tract was because his plans were the
best. u
There was some objection to- Mr.
Aliens plans,R said Mr.. Ankeny, land
ne modified them before we accepted
them. To say that the board knows
nothing about ventilation is not true.
No man in the city knows more about
heating and ventilation than Robert
Pratt, and the fact that lie was satisfied
with the plans shows that they were all
right. 1t is the custom of a good many
people to cast slurs and insults at pub
lie boards whether there is anything
wrong or not, and it but shows the evil
trends of their minds. Still [ do not
think that there is anything in this
article by the editor of the Builder to
make any impression on the public"

did not believe that he owed so much,
however, and made an investigation.
The investigation seems to confirmed
his belief. as he brought suit against
Mason Yesterday for $3.50. He claims
that he found his Indebtedness to be
$139, and he charges that Mason con-
verified the excess Of $3.50 to his own per-
