house would certainly be crowded
every Friday evening. These lectures
are not dull. technical studies nf phil
sophical and literary bones.
They are keen, witty, entertaining
talks about the politics and religion,
the social and civil customs, of our
own country from the first English
settlement down to the present.
Last Friday night the talk was main
ly about the witch-craft epidemic
which prevailed in New England in
the latter part of the 18th century.
Next Friday dec. 81 the talk will be
about such men as Jonathan Ed
wards, VIM Livingston and Benz.
Franklin, and the literature leading
up to the revolutionary war. But
the Professors lecture is only half of
the program. After he gets through
there is a "free parliament" for an
hour in which members of the class
present short papers on topics pre-
viously assigned or ask or answer
questions touching points brought out
in the lecture. So that so far from
being a dry. stupid, school. the Uni

THE ANCIENT ORDER.

Preliminary Work Accomplished
The Election To.
Day.

The grand lodge, a. F. s. A. NJ, con-
vened yesterday noon at the temple in
st. Paul for its annual session, Grand
Master Barto sitting in the East. The.
committee on credentials was appointed
at once, and after an hours retirement
reported that out of the 100 lodges in
the state $50 were represented.
After dinner Grand Master Barto- de-
livered his annual address. This was
followed by an address by 81. J. Peck,
of Shakopee, the state orator.
The report of Grand Secretary Mont
gomery came next in order. This set
forth that there are now 1880 Affiliate
ing master MaSons in Minnesota, and
that the order is in most prosperous
condition. The report of the grand
treasurer showed that the grand lodge
has standing to its credit $1,000.
The afternoon was taken up with dis
cussiopS upon various topics of special
interest to the order.
This, the most ancient of all secret
orders, is constantly gaining ground
not only in Minnesota, but in every
state in the Union. and in all other
countries. No secret order has encoun-
tered so many trials and onslaughts as
Masonry. A hundred years or more
men and societies have struggled to
bring it's downfall. and today two or
three churches inveigh against 1t and
forbid their members to join the
order. The last is most singular
thing. in view of the fact that Masonry
is founded upon belief in God, and no
infdel is accepted Or permitted to re-
main in the order. and at the same time
the order is strictly non-partisan upon
church creeds. But for all this Ma
sonry gains i'll favor every year, and

REJECTED the ROAD.

West sideps Claim to Feel
Aggrleved at Their D
Action. ..

The West side citizens and property.
owners are more than indignant at the1
obdurate course taken by AssemOlymeni
Doran and Lghtner concerning the
proposed franchise grant of right of
way along the levee on the West side,
about which so mach has been pub
lshed OF late. The committee on streets
of the common council met in joint SEES
sion yesterday, and the result was to
practically kill the measure. The
charter provision requires three
fourths vote of each branch of the coun
Gil to pass franchise grant, and with
the opposition Of Lightner and Doran
the measure can never pass. There
was large delegation OF interested cit
liens present at the meeting, and they
voiced the sentiment of the West side
taxpayers.
The grant is for the new railroad that
it had been contemplated to bring to st.
Paul. Nj. ID. Mum represented the
railway company and he explained at
length that his company would abide
by anything that is reasonable. Ihey
Insisted that one track shall be used eX-
clusively by the company. but second,
track will be laid III 1894, ana the latter
can be used by any and all railway
companies upon their paying proper
tionate share of the cost OF construction.
Mr.. Lightner at once declared that he
would never vote to give the company
the exclusive right Of either track, and
Mr.. Doran followed in the same VEN.
MIR. Mum suggested that the city
council be given complete charge of the
manner in which additional railway
companies shall be given the right OF
the additional track. and they can be
made an important source OF revenue to
the city treasury. This proposition was
also rejected by the recalcitrant two.
Chairman Johnson finally directed at
tention to the fact that it was only
waste of time to argue the matter
longer. and AsSemblyman Van Slyke
moved that the report in favor of grant
ing the franchise be asked. The object
was to place the members on record.
All voted aye except D0ran and Light
ner.
There was a good deal Of kicking
among citizens at the failure, for the
reason that the company proposed to
spend over million dollars i'll st. Paul
the coming year: and not only this, but
several large industries aud manuiact-'
cries were ready to locate on the West
side if the road is built. AS it is, the
road will likely 60 to Minneapolis.

urday. and the engagement will close
with "Macbeth' Saturday evening.
"Married Life" which Stuart Robson

night opens at the box office this morn
ing.
Salvini had al other large and refined
audience at the Metropolitan last night,
and the play was as much Of success
as in the previous events.
The present engagement of the Boil
man Gernan Theatrical company at the
Metropolitan is about One-half con-
Guided, and that it has been a success
il every way, both to the company and
the Metropolitan, is evidenced by the
fact that yesterday contract was
signed between Manager Scott and
Manager Bolman for next season.
The next engagement is to consist
OF twenty-five consecutive Sunday
night performances, commencing
early in September and continuing till
the end OF the following April. The
first attempt at having German theatre

kee'r" were here about a year ago was
quite a success, and when Theodore
Boliman undertook the present engage
ment it net with general and hearty
support from all German-Amer-
lean citizens as we'll as many
Americans. That German theatrIcals
are 10 become a permanent institu
ton in ST. Paul can readily be seen
from the extensive contract mentioned
above, and Mr. B0lman calculates to
constantly bring new and fresh material
TO the boards as each season advances
ana changes. Sunday evening next the
