1--WE jump all tile way from new
York TO st. Paul." he said to GLOBE
man, land we will open next Monday
night at the Metropolitan. We have
been having very successful season.
people who are not conversant with
the theatrical business have no idea OF
the number of people who desire to 90
on the stage. There are hundreds.
thousands of them, and L am sorry to
say that the majority of the aspirants
really have no talent for the work.
They are willing to do almost any
thing in order to get upon the stage.
| know of a prominent manager who
has a number of companions, aud VINO
receives countless requests for positions
and advice from those who desire 10
shine on the stage. One of the most
prominent actors on the American stage
was recently asked by charming young
society lady what 1t would cost her Tor
a season with him. He replied that he
would take her with his company and
place her in mob scenes, etc, to play
portion of the bowling populace, and
she could obtain instruction from his
stage manager. 1t would be necessary
for her to pay her own expenses for
travelling and hotels, which would
amount to about 500 for the year. she
would have accepted this proposition
gladly and gone out with the show, but
her friends objected. She shines as
society woman in New York and the
best she could do on the stage would be
TO probably make poor actress.

ones are not tavorably received by the
people, and they do not last very long
unless all endless purse is at the back.
1t is queer how much money man will
spend in trying to force a bad play on
the people when he has written it HIM
self. But there are lots OF them who do
| it, and it generally breaks them. 1t
| always does unless they stop before the
| money is all gone"

composed of disreputable houses and

| island in the ST. Louis river a shoat

! a great resort for the lumbermen on

the woods, and many cases OF robbery
and assault were reported to the police.

| bad whisky until their senses left them,
| and then they were robbed and put
| ashore again. The vendors of the liquor
paid no licenses, and the city was
| greatly injured by the close connection
OF the place to the town. The men who
| lived on the island were Of the toughest
possible class, and they frequently
made incursions to the city for the pur-
pose of robbery. Finally the sheriff
decided to raid the island, and, In COM

| crossed over from the mainland. The
| inhabitants OF the island were greatly
surprised to receive the visit, and were
! captured without much resistance. Inc
people are glad to be rid Of the place"

Ex-Deteetive James Morrisy, of St.
Louis, was at the Merchants yesterday,
ell route to the West.
Il see by the papers that man was
shot down in Houston, Tex, by the
Malta" he said. I'VE have not been
bothered TO any extent bv the members
of that society, but we know that they
are in existence i'll the city OF st. Louis,
and number OF small crimes, together

their door. The society, as L under
stand, is a very powerful one, and it has
the members constantly i'll fear OF death.
The society is greatly similar to the
Highbinders Of China,and the members
are compelled to carry out the WISHES
of their superOrs or meet with death:
Frequently they are commanded to Kill
some person, and. to their credit, they
are generally cunning enough TO hlde
their tracks or put the crime on some
other person. The Italians are muir
derous lot, and they have no regard TOT
human life or property. L think 1T is a
mistake that the government OF the
United States permits them to emlgrate
TO this country at all. They are no
benefit as citizens, with very few eXeep-
tions. and they prey off the better class
of people Most of them were pauperS
in their own country. and they are not
much better off when they come mere.
They will not work, as general rule,
but drive the people crazy with their
hand-organS and accordEons. ne other
classes of emigrants, mean the Scan
dinavians, English and Irish, make good
/ CITIZENS after they have been here for
some time. Tney are hard workers, and
in time of war, as has been demon,
strated, they will fight for their adopted
country. The Italians breed disease and
are filthy class. l have seen ten OF
twelve people living in room in the hot
weather, and they slept at night OIL the
bananas which they peddled I'D the day
time. They should be compelled 10 20
back to their own country"
