INTERURBAN MAIL OARS.
Carrying Mail Till Midnight Aban-
doned.

The carrying of mail on the interur-
ban cars as late as was the practice
during the street car troubles has been
abandoned. Asked about the matter,
Capt. Hardacre, superintendent of the
free delivery in this city, said yesterday
that it was thought advisable to try
running the mails until midnight for
the purpose of delivering any special
delivery letters passing between the
cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis, but
after a weeks trial the plan was found
to be Improbable, and the late mails
were abandoned. Asked if the settle
ment of the street car troubles did not
have more to do with calling off the
late service than anything else. Capt.
Hardacre smiled as he replied to the
effect that it was the abandonment Of
an experiment that was found to be In
profitable.

"Uranla" will not only have a pleasant
experience here in business way, but.
also, that still more gratifying one, to

the community in preponderance.
"Urania" is an attraction of decided

auctions being no less instructive than
otherwise enjoyable.
First is From "Chaos to Man." or
"Ihe Seven Ages of the World" At
the beginning the audience is confront
ed by the primeval chaos out of which
the earth was born. Everything is Ii
tanic and mysterious. The elements,
out of which the earth and all its living
inhabitants are to be created, are seen
in shifting and changing tones of mystic
light, kissing, Steaming, swirling, with
the intensity of primal heat and the
slow awakening of creative forces.
Finally the earth begins to emerge out
OF the chaotic nebula, the clouds part,

The second of the series, ga Trip to

to those who are familiar with the lat

THE WHITE SLAVE,
BARLEY Campbell's Lasting Sue
cess

DoTtISy SdLuDDellS AdSC1nG sue
cess.
Commencing tonight for the week at
the Grand will be presented the popu-
lar play, 1.-The White Slave" Of all
the late Barley Campbell's successes,
this appears to be the most lasting. In
connection with the first production of
this drama, Mr.. Campbell made the re-
mark that it would live long after him.
1t certainly appears to grow more popu-
lar each year. In all the larger cities
the attendance exceeds the former
visits. 1t deals with theme that is
ever popular with the public-slaverv,
now gone forever. The story itself
is an interesting one, dealing as
it does with the better side of humanity,
enlisting from first to last the sympathy
of the audience. The trials and tribula-
tons of the young white girl who is
forced into slavery, in her endeavor to
escape from the tyrant, affords oppor-
tunites for many thrilling situations
and realistic scenes that the author
took full advantage of. The plantation
at Osceola, the cabin of the Mississippi
steamboat, Belle Creole. Red Devil
island, and the burning spar during
terrific rainstorm of real water, on
which are clinging the leading charac-
tiers escaping from the burning steam
boat, are very effective stage realisms.
One Of the reasons, probably, for the
lasting success of this melodrama is
the excellent company that is always
selected to interpret the several roles.
All the minor details are fully supplied,
thus assuring frst-class production.
The cast includes large number of
well-known people.
Katie Emmett, the popular little
coincidence, follows the "White Slave"
at the Grand, with her Irish play xii

from highly successful three months
tour of the Pacific coast, and her annual
visit to this city will present "KiIlar-

Three Men Arrested in a Saloon
One Escapes - Revolver
Dropped by Him Found to
Contain Cartridges Like the
One Found in the Fateful sa-
loon.
The police have arrested two more men
on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder of Joseph Herda last Tuesday
night.
Friday evening Patrolmen Sweeney
and Brennan, of the ROndO street sta
ton, attempted to arrest three men
who were in the saloon of Henry Leutt-
&c, at 9l3 Rice street. The only one of
the trio known to the officers was
"Speck" White, but as his reputation is
not of the best, it was decided there
could be no great harm done in taking
in any of his associatee. When the men
reached the door of the saloon, in
charge of the officers, one of them
broke away and ran down Rice
street. Officer Sweeney gave chase,
but the prisoner was 700 swift, and,
fearing that the two with Brennan
might make fight and get away, Swee-
ney fired a shot at the disappearing
figure and returned to help Brennan.
The prisoners landed at the Rondo
street station gave their names as
Joseph Elms and Charles Fisher. The
former is we'll known to the police of
the Twin Cities, and was recently
released from the penitentlary at Wau-
pun, where he served a term for burg
larry committed in Hudson. Fisher is a
stranger, and the police say he has been
in st. Paul but a few days. They were
booked for vagrancY at the time of their
arrest, but were not brought into the
police court yesterday.
The reason for their not being ar
raigned was learned yesterday after
noon, when it was stated the detectives
were of the opinion that the twain and
the fellow who escaped were the ones
who committed the robbery and
murdered Herda at Valek's saloon
Tuesday night. Yesterday morning
the occupants of dwelling near the
corner of Manitoba avenue and Rice
street found in their front yard big
revolver, and in the street close to the
sidewalk small pouch containing
three cartridges. The place where the
gun and ammunition was found is
but short distance from the
saloon where the three men were ar
rested, and Patrolman Sweeney, who
gave chase to the fellow who escaped,
said he thought the prisoner threw
something away, but could not find
what it was. The revolver is of peculiar
make and pattern, and, the police claim,
was loaded with the same kind of
cartridges as the uneXploded one
found OH the floor of Valek's saloon
b. Patrolman Joe Davis after the MUIR
der. The detectives were very busy
and also very reticent yesterday, and
would not talk about the case, but from
the air of mySteay worn by the chiefs
clerk 1t was evident the officials think
they have struck a clue to the muir
derers.
White and Fisher were taken from
the Rondo street station late yesterday
afternoon, and under strong guard
brought to the office of Chief of Detect
ives McGinn. Whether the "sweat
box" investigation brought out
any new developments is not known,

EXCITING RUNAWAY,
Two Teams Chase Each Other Up
the Streets.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
horse and buggy driven by Edward Nc
Glynn, boy thirteen years old. in
which was seated his mother and
younger brother, collided with an ex-
press wagon on West Third street. The
collision broke the shaft of the buggy,
and the horse, being spirited one, ran
away. The noise started a team owned
by James Proule, farmer from Cen
teryille, and the two rigs followed each
other up st. Peter street at lively gait.
Opposite the central market Mrs. Nc
Glynn and her two sons were thrown
from their buggy and severely injured.
In the farmers team was Louisa Ben
der, and the young woman pluckily
held to the reins until the team ran into
the iron fence at the side of the ca
thedral on st. Peter street. Here Miss
Bender was thrown to the ground and
was severely, but not seriously, injured
about the head.

SINGLE SAFE CANOEING.
An Interesting Experiment soon to- be
made.

CD. Vaux in Outing-An experiment
in the science of canoe sailing: with
single sail is about to be tried by
member of the, New York canoe club.
and it's results are likely to affect canoe
racing materially. 1t is well known
that a single sail will drive given boat
faster than the same area in two sails.
This is true in a greater degree in wind
ward work than in sailing free. The
trouble has always been to get enough
area in one sail on canoe to do the
work, and yet have the sail managea-
bic. 1t is quite simple to get an area Of
40 square feet in two sails on a racing
canoe and have the boat well under
control at all timesthe areas being
about so square feet and 60 square feet.
TO spread 40 square feet in single
sail, and not have the spars so heavy
and long that they are practically USE
less, is the problem to be solved. In the
experiment under consideration every
detail has been modified to accomplish
this result The deck has been made
perfectly fiat where the sliding seat
bears on it. so that the seat is on lev
ell with the gunwale, and therefore at
least three inches lower than usual,
where by the weight Of the crew is
brought into a much more effective
position. The canoe is fitted with a
very small and watertight cockpit. so
that an upset when jibbing, for instan-
ce) will not cause a delay of more than
q few seconds. The canoe is d very
strong one, well braced in every direc-
ton and heavier than usual, and there
fore no ballast is needed. Hollow spars
are to be used, and the sliding seat is
six feet long, with a. decided upward
curve to add to the ease with which the
skipper can slide when necessary. The
seat is made of four very thin pieces Of
oak, laid togther and riveted, forming
the curve, which will, owing to the me-
thOd Of construction, remain the same
when in use Two sails can be carried,
but the intention is to sail with one if
the experiment is successful The cen
ter-bOard can be moved fore and aft
several inches when down, to preserve
the balance The result will be care
fully watched.

The advantage in this is that while
the cotton planter is working this year
, to pay last years debts, the melon
grower is working for SO much clear
profit.
1t is encouraging to know that. al
though Chicago is taking quadruple
share OF melons, they will still be
plenty ana cheap in New York this
year. Last years crop was unusually
large and good, and this years crop
is everywhere reported on a par with
last years. This will igve use from now
until the middle of August from TWEEN
ty TO thirty carloads a day, each car
load averaging LOCO melons. They are
always reckoned by the carload,
whether they come by sea or land, be-
cause in any event they have to reach
Savannah by rail. About the 10Th of
August the Long Island and New Jer-
sey melons will begin to come they
arrived on the 10Th last year,, and
, then the GeOrgians will Immediately
stop shipping, because prices will go
down.
| Infringing watrmelons from any
point in South Georgia to New York
by boat from Savannah costs from 8
to 10 cents each, and the price here
varies, according to the supply and
the weather. Unfortunately it is when
the weather is cold and wet that mel
ons are usually cheapest, except after
the northern melons arrive. From 10
to Is cents is the range in wholesale
price for southern fruit, and from 80
to 40 cents at retail For a melon
which costs 80 cents the grower nets
I cents.
What it is in Bermuda to be an
onion in early spring it is at this mo-
ment in South Georgia to be a water
melon. He is the only aristocrat left
in the old cotton fields. He is petted
and tended by an army Of black and
white servants. The vestibule limited
is his private train, and passenger
trains are incontinently side-tracked to
let him pass. But when this aristo-
crat reaches New York or Chicago he is
soon put in his proper place.
