Manning is not endowed with any too
much strength, but she is Il clear, inter

like a good one. The English was
smooth and poetic. This same tranSla-
ton. read by the same reader has been
heard and passed upon favOrably by
cultured and lbSenesQue Boston. so il
must be all right. Brand is certainly
a great composition. At times it rises
TO grandeur. The interest in the drama
Is highly centralized in Brand, the hero.
There is no diffusion among number
of characters. The listener is absorbed
by what Brand says anddOeS. 1t might
be said that lbSen is rather TOO sOmber,
and that he voices. through Brand,

"The Two Johns" drew another large

comedy has been much improved since
its presentation here last season. The
musical and specially features are very
strong.
The audience at the Pence last night
was large, and the company is pleasing

Worlds Olympia Theatre.

The panorama building has become
the Worlds Olympia theatre. The
building was christened last night by
the opening of Geary's circus of the
season. Mr.. Geary gave the large audi
ence that congregated at his place of
amusement good show. lie gave
them music and regular circus per-
formance, without the gaily prancIng
horses. The athletic features of Geary's
show will compare with the best that
has ever been seen in Minneapolis.
Owing to the hurried preparations for
the opening, there were no programmes
available last night, so none q she per-
formers can be given individpAl men
tion, but they were all good. The work
done on the horizontal and parallel
bars, the flying trapeZe ana OH the
tumbling mat was as good as has ever

consult with the street railway company
aud report TO the board. The residents
on Second avenue south sent in q peti-
tiOn requesting that trees be planted
along the avenue this summer. They
were willing to pay for the same Dy
having their property assessed. lhe
board discussed the matter and tlnaliY
decided to do the planting, pro-
vided the property owners VIII pay
for tho trees. The committee
on employment and supplies was author
lied to advertise Tor proposals for tDe
official printing. Secretary Nye a'd At
torney Clay discovered that tht BOARD
is liable ior about $1,000 taxes on land
required for park purposes at different
times during the past few years.
Almost $1,000 of this is due on the tract
in Southeast Minneapolis. which was
acquired, but never has been used for
park purposes. The attorney and COM
mittee on finance will suggest line OF
action to the board at the next meeting.
The board committed itself upon one
important matter. The matter of hav-
ing arc electric lights from Lake street
along Calhoun boulevard, through In
terlachen and around Lake Harriet.
The bOrad authorized the committee on
improvements to investigate into the
matter and report on the expense. The
award of commissioners in the Mime
haha boulevard appraisement was con
hrmed. 1t was voted to place three
new are electric lights at Minnehaha
park, and Il temporary plankwalk
around Fairview park.
Commissioner Ryan wanted all the
park labOrerS to receive Sl.15 day. but
the hoard did not coincide with him.
The matter was, however, referred to
the committee on salaries. The Stin-
son boulevard question bobbed up again
when Mr.. Ryan asked that SS,0 900 be set
aside for expenditure on the same. A
worGy war ensued, which amounted
TO nothing and the commission
er'S request was referred to the
committee on improvements and finance.
Mrs. Emily Ross Perry was granted per-
mission to sell her poem ''Minnehaha"
at the park and the park board engineer
was directed to make survey and plat
the land about Lake Amelia with view
to acquiring the same for park pur-
poses.
Quite little fight was stirred up over
the street sprinkling problem. The
committee reported in favor of Sprink-
ling Kenwood, the lake drives and Lyn-
dale avenue in front of Fairview park.
Commissioner Dahns wanted Lyndale
avenue Sprlnkled from Western avenue
to TWenty-ninth street, but he was de-
feated and the committees report
adopted.

MINISTERIAL INACTION.
Why tie Pastors Do Not Agitate
Sunday Closing at the Fair.

Why the Pastors Do Not Agitate
Sunday Closing at the Fair.
The ministers of Minneapolis are not
pleasing the more thoroughly orthodox
people of the city by their attitude on
the question of closing the worlds fair
on Sunday and prohibiting the sale of
liquor on The grounds. Some time ago
the Christian EndeavOr societies were
working up this matter, and they pre-
Sented it to the ministerS-the orthodox
ministers. The latter wers, of course,
expected to take some action on the
matter. committing themselves to
that position. They did not do
it-cOntenting themselves with COM
mending the work of the Christian
Endeavor societies, and telling them to
go ahead. Yesterday, at the monthly
meeting of the ministerial union, Rev.
d. E. Wells brought up the matter and
said that he thought the matter might
have received more favorable considera-
tion at the hands of the ministers.
Only forty-seven churches in all Min
neSOta have sent in petitions asking that
the fair be closed OH Sunday. 1t has
been tacitly admitted that the ministers
might have taken further action on the
question, but they know that good
many of their most influential and
wealthieSt parishioners rather favor
opening the fair on Sunday. The mill
listers indorsed the petition of the retail
clerks asking for the earlier closing of

STILL FIRING BOMBS.
Liege Startled by Tremendous
Explosion.

LIEGE. May 2.-Ihe house of the
commander of the civic guard was
wrecked by dynamite bomb this even
ing. The bomb was placed between the
inside and outside doors of the vesti-
bule and the bell was rung. The fuse
must have been very short, for the maid
servant was only half way down the
hallway when the explosion came.
Doors, castings, half of the first story
wall and the stone steps were smashed
and strewn along the pavement. The
large paving stones in front of the
house were split. and directly before
the steps gap six feet deep was torn.
The ceilings fell throughout the house,
two chandeliers fell, and everything
made of glass. including the wine bot
ties in the cellar, was broken. The
shock shook the vicinity for 5000 yards,
and many houses within 200 yards were
seriously damaged.
The police have arrested German
commercial traveller, whose name they
refuse to divulge. There is much ul-
easiness here tonight, as the anarchists
have been making threats to take re-
venge Oh the police and militia for at
tacks upon the rioters last night. More
trouble is apprehended and the guards
at the public buildings are maintained
with the same strength as yesterday.
