undoubtedly far in advance of others,
but not one but was fair success,
some shining in the score and
others in a histrionic way. The
palm was undoubtedly borne by
Miss Gordon as Yum Yum, and, with
out flattery. it may be said that 1t is a
question if the part has been ever bet
ter played and sung on stage in St.
Paul. 1t is trying part, both musically
and dramatically, and in both particu-
lars Miss Gordon acquitted herself
beautifully. Her costume was as grace
full as the Oddlty of the Japanese style
would admit, and her affectation
tudiniZing was effective and pleas
ing. Ihe principal solo number. "rhe
Moon and l." was gem, and merited the
special encore it received. Without at
tempting to add to the music as written,
she threw into it all the grace, melody
and artistic phraSing of which it is cap
did style. In the love scenes with
Nanki-Poo there was naturally some
amusement and more embarrassment,
for such scenes are trying to amateurs.
There may have been sOIpeon of mis-
chief in the spirited encore given this
part.
The next important role among the
women was that of Katisha, assumed
by Mrs. Lawler. 1t is not only difficult,
but little ungrateful. The part re-
quires somewhat disfiguring makeup
and necessitates fine voice and much
dramatic power. Mrs. Lawler acquitted
herself with charming grace, acting the

1t is the custom to look with a very
friendly eye or hear with lenient ear
when local amateurs are fayoring a
home audience with samples of their
talent; but such custom need not OBJ
tain in this instance. There needs no
apology on the score of either friendly
feeling or want of experience on the
part of the dramatis persona. "The
Mikado" was sung and acted in style
that might have been envied by many q

st. Paul. 1t was not above criticism
and was not without flaw, but it GER
tainly was a remarkable performance,
and easily takes first rank as the ANA
teur effort of st. Paul.
The stage was neatly and effectively
set, giving perfect Japanese effect
without any straining at the ultra
Japanese. The orchestra was about

work on the above six buildings has
been commenced, and will be pushed to
an early completion for next fall. This
firm has just finished the Central block
for Maj. John Espey, on corner of Sixth
and Seventh streets, near Franklin, and
is now at work on plans for several
nice residences to be built on st. An
thony hill this summer.
Speaking Of the situation as 1t stands
now, and basing its remarks on informa-
ton at hand, the Land and Title Regis
ter says:
Real estate transfers for April show a
great increase over the preceding month.
The weather during the month of April
was by no means favorable for real es-
tate and building movements, being
rainy and cold. The building season
did not really open until after the 1st of
May, and already work is being
pushed along on a number Of big
structures, among which might be men,
toned the new government building,
Thomas Lowry's big block on st. Peter
street. Dyer's tive-story structure Oh
Fifth street, and the big business block
on the corner of Seventh and Minnesota
streets. Work will soon be begun on
the two large business structures to be
erected at the corner of Sixth and Min
nesota streets. The big Auditorium,
with a seating capacity Of 5000, has
been completed. This is the building
III which the congress of the National
Real Estate association will be held
next August. Quite a number of big
real estate sales have been recorded
since the 1st of May. Real estate men

building operations so far in 1898. There
:were several days in March that clearly
'Outclassed for pleasantness almost any
day in the month following. The effect
'Of the untOward atmospheric conditions
Alas been felt more or less in building
1and real estate circles. This fact is not
more true of st. Paul than of other lead
.2ng cities in the country. A glance at
t51he records compiled by the American
.Aand and Title Register fully substantl-
ateS the above statement.
Wet cold weather has hindered prog
ress by st. Paul contractors and dealers.
1t is only within week or ten days
that general work on buildings has
taken decided start. Of course, there
are instances where operations have
been continued to some extent on build
jngs that offered opportunity to keep
going; but these cases are limited to a
small number. Henceforth rush" will
be the word on all contracts, with the
prospect good for plenty Of action.
In every section of the city starts have
been made OH foundation or super
structure. Especially is this the fact in
what is at present the most desirable
residence district. Transfers of prop
erty lately recorded also show that there
is a healthy demand for the best to be
had.
Contracts were let yesterday for the
Marlborough apartment building, 6OX1SO
feet in size, for Ross Clark, Esq. on
Summit avenue, near Sixth street. This
building will be frst-class in construc-
tion and finish, with richly carved
brown stone front, and will be one of
the handsomest apartment buildings in
the city. The plans were drawn by
Hermann, KretZ d Co., who also pre-
pared the plans for two brown stone
residences, 80X10O feet, for Joseph
Lockey, Esq, corner Summit avenue
and st. Albans street, and for three

Meditated the Deed.

Two boys residing on the West side
named Sam and Ben Arbuckle heard
their uncle, w. f. Arbuckle, who is
jaller at the central station, talking
about the suicide yesterday noon. Both
the lads are about fourteen years old,
and the conversation recalled to their
minds an experience they had on Sun
day last. While crossing the bridge
they were accosted by man
who was in buggy driving across the
bridge In the direction of West
st. Paul. He inquired as to which was
The highest point on the bridge, and as
to the depth of the water in the river.
The boys answered his questions and
the man stood up in his buggy, looked
up and down the river, and then drove
off. The description the boys gave of
the man they met on Sunday, ATbuckle
says, corresponds to that OF Rogers in
every way, and the horse and buggy,
also, is the same as the one left tied to
lhe bridge Friday. The point on the
bridge which the two boys indicated $
being the highest, was the exact spot
from which Rogers took the Jump.
A man employed at the Robert street
bridge reported yesterday morning that
he saw what he thought 10 be a 'ilOater"
going down the river about o'clock
Friday afternoon. He went down to
the bank of the river, but the object
had sunk before he reached there. At
the time he had not heard of the sui
eide, but he is now of the opinion that
this vas the body of Rogers.
