library fer the inmates of st. Elizabeth
Home was we'll attended. The program
was rendered in good style, those parti-
cipatiDg acting their several parts most
satisfactorily. The farce was excruci-
atingly funny, and the singing and reci-
tations woul have done credit to more
experienced amateurs. The Kane fam
lily, the Misses Gallagher, Mack, Case,
Porter, Dunkin, Benson aud all the rest,
gave indications of possessing good talent
in their respective roles. Father Keane
delivered a brief address relative to st.
Elizabeth Home, and encouraged the
good ladies who manage that meritori-
GUS institution.

Alfred McChesney, an Englishman,
whose home is in Prince Albert, North
west territory, arrived in the city Thurs
day on route for his birthplace, Her
fordshire, England. It is likely, how
ever, that his trip will be postponed, for
he claims that he lost his entire fortune
on the streets of Minneapolis on the day
he arrived here He says that when he
got off the train at the union depot he
had $4,000 in bills and several silver dol
lars in his pockets. When he g,t to the
Nicollet house he did not have the bills,
the roll having disappeared from his
pockets. He does not think his pockets
were picked, but that in some way he
pulled the roll of money cut of his pocket
and dropped it on the street. He walked
up Nicolet avenue from the depot. so, if
the money was lost, it was on the avenue
between the depot and the hotel !:
