Breath of the Plains.

"The Ogalallas" is purely American.
The locale is the Southwestern frontier,

taking his niece, Edith, her gOverness
and number of seminary young ladies
on a geOlogizing and botanizing trip.
DeadShOt and Edith fall in love
with each other at first sight,
and on the heels of this inter

in company with Mexican 1enegades,
swOOp down on the party. Deadshot
dispatches scouts for aid and remains
with the fasteners and is taken prison

doomed to death at the Sun Feast on the

There is a wealth OF incident leading up

"DAS BLITZ3TAEDEL"

will Be Given as a Benfit to Miss
Martha Neumann This Even
ing.
At the Metropolitan this evening
there will be rendered a benefit to Miss
Martha Neumann, the charming and
dainty sOubrette who ehaS aided so ma
terially in pleasing tile German popula-
ton of this city by her singing and
many arts of acting. Her preSencei is as
refreshing as the early morning dew to
the dropping flowers and as inspiring as
the sight OF land is to the stOrm-tOSSed
mariner seeking the friendly shelter OF
a safe harbor. The play selected is
fitting to her character, and those who
have seen her on the boards Will agree
that she is even in life entitled to bear
the name "Das BlitZmaedel." The
translation of the title IS not as
expressive. and on the American stage
would be known as 1.-The Telegraph
Girl or The Lightning Maid" In
the play she is not only lightning
maid by profession, but by nature as
well. She is an operator and has lover
for whom she is DESTROYS of securing a
lucrative situation. and is compelled to
interview several perSOnageS OF cOnSId-
cradle prominence to secure 1t. 10 do
this successfully she must assume diff
ferent characters, and makes four trans
formations during the play. In one of
these she assumes the character OF
young student, and the hit she made
when she appeared in male attire before
is good evidence of what may be eX-
pected from her this evening. The play
is Comedians comedy, and Miss Neu-
mann is not alone in the rare OppOrtun-
ity it affords for character delinea-
ton. for the success Of her plans
depends largely upon the assistance
of a comedian in unfolding the scenes,
and in this she will be assisted by that
funny man KFischan Schober, who
makes people laugh by simply appear
ing on the stage. Miss Neumann is en-
titled to considerable credit for her COM
edy work in this city. and the lovers Of
the drama should earnestly support this
little band OF German Thespians who
are endeav0ring 10 cater to their tastes.
A sight of Neumann on the stage Is
good remedy for the blues, and if you
are feeling a little dOWn-heaTted today
visit the Metropolitan this evening, and
you will leave hght-hearted and gay,
thinking the world much brighter than
you ever did before.

WELCOME OLD FRIENDS.
st. Paul People VIII Do So the
Present Week.

ACDCt4G " CNAs
The coming engagement of the Bos-
tonians at the Metropolitan opera house
for a week beginning Monday, May l.
may properly be said to be the event Of
the season. Their coming will afford
music lovers an opportunity of hearing
the IecOrd-DTeaking American opera
"Rnbin Hood presented as no like COM
panv of the present time could give it,
and if the temper of the public is in-
dicated in the eagerneSS with which it
has beseged the box Office for the pur-
pose of booking seats, it is evident that
both artists and opera will be welcomed
with effuSiye warmth. There is all eX-
ceIlent reason for the regard in which
this coteTie Of singers is held. For
many years they have labOred wOrthily
in the light opera fielG. and have clung
to an ideal with commendable peril
nacity. While the trend of the comic
opera was steadily toward clownery and
burleSQue, and the rewards thereof
were shown to be great, Messrs. Barna'
bee, Karl and Macdonald held stead
tasty to their artistic course, and have
not allowed themselves to be beguiled
into the cheaper channel.
They have well-defned ideas regard
ing their future, and they proceed to
work them out With the confident en-
thusiaSm OF true artists. First of all,
they organized and equipped company
which easily stands foremost among or
ganizations of its class. Then they
Sought native operas, and encouragedin
liberal fashion aspiring American au-
thors. The first work accepted from
Messrs. De Koven and Smith was Don
Quixote." They gave the young authors
a second commission, and this resulted
in ''RoUin Hood" the most enjoyable
light opera ever written i'll America, and
one which bids fair TO endure along
with "The Bohemian Grip and kindred
standard works.
Their engagement here will bring for
ward, beside "RObin Hood" two en-
tirely new works which the Bostonians
have lately added to their repertory.
These are 1.-The Knickerbocker," by De
Koven ard Smith, and THE Ogalallas," :"
by Waller and Allison. Both pieces
the outlines of which are printed else
where-have scored hits, and are highly
valued by the Bostonians. Two repre-
sentations of each of the new works will
be given.

thereby directs a suspicion to himself.
A warm friend of Miles is Frederick
Schemmerhorn, son of the burgomaster,
who, with his sweetheart, Priscilla, a
Puritan damsel, plans to send Miles
away in gown of PriScilla's. The
governors trumpeter Overhears this
plot and informs the governor, who
goes forth to arrest the spy in the guise
of a woman. or cOuISe he arrests PriS-
ella, and she, to give the friend of her
betrothed time to escapS, allows the
error to go uncOrrected.
The second act introduces Priscilla In
the attire of British officer, and the
governor and his adherents insist that
Priscilla is a "beetle-browed warrior, J"
and dreadfully bloodthirSty. Miles has
taken service in the governors body
guard in order to be hear Katrina. and
he, with numerous SWANS, is made
jealous of the handsome young English
soldier, Priscilla. with whom all the
girls fall in love At last the war is
settled by an arbitration committee,
made up of the two pairs of lovers, and
everything ends amicably.

Two of the worlds most famous oper-

bian hall. Tuesday evening, May 9.
Materna, the greatest living Interpreter
of the compositions of Wagner, Sehu-
bert and Schurman, will make her first
appearance before an American audi
ence this season in st. Paul, and this
announcement is of itself sufficient to
warrant warm welcome on the part of
our people to the wonderful soprano.
Plunkett Greene, who has achieved
phenomenal success as a musical actor
in Berlin, Paris, London, Worcester
and New York IN Irish melodies, En-
gIish ballads and German lisder, will

The plays which Comedian William
Fl. Crane will produce during his weeks
engagement at the Metropolitan opera
house, beginning on May 8, are "On
Probation" and "The Senator" The
latter play will be given during the last
half of tie week, and of it little need be
said. as it is like an old friend, needing
no introduction. "On Probation" will
be given the fist half of the week. 1t

seats for the engagement opens at the

a Novel Use for Cigar Ribbons.

with dlzen bunches Of yellow silk ci-

bunches Of twenty-five and fly cigars.

tables cut Of them. It takes about 10
ribbons 70 crochet a mat Apart from
fren the fact that taese mats look
very pretty, for the material used in
these ribbons Is the best grade Of raw
silk; they are also valued according to
the class OF cigars that they once encir-

Facts About the Earth.

Ine existence Of volcanoes, geysers arla
hot springs irregularly scattered over the
whole surface Of the globe and e0ntinu-
ally ejeciing molten rock. ashes, steam,
mud or hot water IS an obvious indics-
ton Of some widespread source Of heat
within the earth, but Of the nature or or
igin ofthat heat they give little positive
information.
The heat TINS indicated has been sup
posed to be due to many causes, such as
the pressure and friction caused by the
contraction Of the cooling crust, chemical
action at great depths beneath the sur
face, isolated lakes Of molten rock due to
these or to unknown causes. or to 4 mol
ten interior, or at least q general s1bstra-
tum Of molten matter between the ernst
and possibly solid interior.
The two first eulses are now generally
admitted to be inadequate, AMI our
choice IS practically limited TO one ofthe
latter.
There are also important evidences Of
internal heat derived from the universal
phenomenon Of fairly u5isorn increase
OftemPerature in al deep wells, Mines,
borings and tunnels. The increase has
been usually reekoned as one degree Far
eahsit for each co feet Of descent, but
recent very careful estina,e By Professor
Prsstwitch. derived from the whole
available data, gives one degree Fahren-
hsit for every 475 feet e descent.
Itis a curious indication Of the Uni
versality Of this increase that even in the /
coldest parts Of SibeTia, where the soil IS
frozen to a depth Of go feet, there Is 3
STEADY increase in the temperature Of
this fTJ n soil from the surface down
ward.
Much has been made BY some writers
ofthe local differences Of the rate Of in
crease, sSryiDg from one degree in tEen-
ty-eight to one degree in ninety-6ve, and
also Of the fact that in some places the
rate OF Increase dimiEishes as the depth
becomes greater.
But when We consider that springs Of
ten bring up heated water to the surfzce
in countries far removed from the seat Of
volcanic action, and the extent to which
water PeTmeates the rocks az al depths
reached by man, such divergsncies are
exactly what Se might expect.
Vow, this average rate Of increase, Il
continued downward, would imply a
temperature capable ofmeitisg rock at
about twenty miles deep, Or less
