An Original Chorus,

The following song was composed
for the closing chorus Saturday
night. 1t is original with the ex-
ception of the first verse and the mu-
sic. For these latter we are indebted
to Messrs. Gilbert & Sullivan, form
erly Of London, England. 1t is tax
en- from the comic opera, "Patience"
and is the Chorus Of Dragons in
Act 2nd.
We've been thrown over we're
aware.
But we don't care, but we don't care,
There's fish in the sea, no doubt of it,
AS good as ever came out of it,
And some day we shall get our share.
So we don't care, SO we don't care.
For prizes blanks we've often drawn,
But we don't care, but we don't care.
Because if my love isn't fair to me,
Why what care how fair then she be
And every dog will get his day,
So we don't care so we don't care,
Sequachee's turn is coming yet,
Yes, we do care; yes, we do care,
And if hope deferred has made us
sick
Then courage we say and be a brick,
And then will come good fortune
rare,
And we won't care, no, we won't care,
The moral of our play Is this
Let rum alone, let rum alone,
Be sure you don't touch Or taste of
any
And thus be enrolled among the
many
Who lead pure lives
And you'll succeed and yoa'll sucz
ceed.

TRIO OF HOLD-UPS.
HIghwaymen Were Busy Saturday
Night.

Three men were held up and robbed.
evidently by the same gang of foot
PADS, within five blocks Of each other
Saturday night. Mention was made
yesterday of J. F. Avery's experience
at Fifteenth street and Nicollet ave-
nue. about l o'clock Saturday night.
He was held up by two men and sup
posed woman and relieved of gold
atch and so cents in cash. Two other
robberies were committed but a short
distance and a short time from the
above, but they were not SO promptly
reported to the police.
Fred Fletcher, living at 1913 Four
teenth avenue southeast, was the next
victim. While on his way home he was
acested by three ycoung men at East
Fifteenth street and Fifth avenue, and
invited to held up his hands, which
he did without discussion. as a big re-
volver was used to persuade him. The
robbers secured less than 81 from him.
Shortly afterwards ]. Merrill. whose
home is at 3O5 East Fifteenth street
was met by two men at Fifteenth
street and Third avenue, only a short
distance from his house, and ordered
TO threw up his hands. Upon comply
ing with their request, the highway
men rapidly made a search of his
pockets and succeeded in extracting
the sum of 81 therefrom.

DONs AND THE MESSAGE.
Spanish Cabinet Silent Regarding
CIeveIand's Recommendation.

MADRID, Dec. 13.-A meeting of the
cabinet council has been fixed for
Tuesday this being the first meeting
OF the cabinet since President Cleve-
lands message was transmitted to con-
gress, on account of the Illness of
Senor Canovas, the premier.
According to some of the Spanish
newspapers, the question will be raised
at this council of the expediency of a
confidential note to the ambassadors OF
the powers here in Madrid in regard to
President Cleveland's message. The
cabinet ministers, however. maintain
an absolute reserve on this subject
and, therefore. any newspaper state
ments on the subject are premature.
reports are current here that the
question has been raised of calling at
tention to the prejudice caused to the
interests of Spain by defects in Ameri-
can legislation; in that, despite the
good faith of the Washington govern
ment, slxty-four filibustering expedi-
tions organized in the United States
have landed in Cuba, without whose
aid the Cubans could not have contin-
ued the war;
Notwithstanding the currency of
these reports, it can be authorfta lively
stated that nothing has yet been de-
cided, and 1t is believed in some quar-
ters that the cabinet ministers will
postpone passing resolutions on the
subject of President Cleveland's mes
sage

CHURCH's SILVER JUBILEE.
Congregation of the immaculate
Conception Observes the Event.

Services at the Church of the Immaculate
Conception yesterday were invested with spe-
cial interest through the dual nature of the
event which was commemorated. 1t was the
corner stone of the church, and also the occa-
sion for the annual observance of the event
from which the church was named. The latter
as the patronal feast of the church was gen.
orally observed Dec s. but a brief postpone
ment was made to combine the services with
those of the anniversary of the church.
The morning services at the church yester-
day were led by Bishop Thomas O'Gorman
of Sioux Falls, who celebrated pontihcal ma ss.
The sermon was delivered by Rev. T. E.
was luminous and mastery exposition Of
the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception
defined by Pope Plus TX. and institute
in 1854 almost simultaneously with that of
the infallibility of the pope, and practically
the last great doctrine so enunciated The
commodious sanctuary was crowded with wor-
shippers, including representatives from the
st. Paul Catholic churches. Bishop O'Gorman
was the speaker at the evening service His
reputation as one of the leading pulpit orators
the church, and a powerful discourse was
gwen At both services special music was
furnished by the choir.
Although the occasion was observed as the
twenty-hfth anniversary of the church II NAV

the lots on which the structure stands were
purchased and school house erected and
the present building was built in 1912. IT
was the first Catholic church to be built on
the west side of the river and hnt hrief
time elapsing after the institution of the fea

DEED AND WILL ARE FoRGERIEs.
Claim Of Experts in the Contest for
the Fair Millions.


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 13.-
The Chronicle says that Messrs. Ames
& Carvalho, the New York experts who
came out here in the interests of the
Fair children, have made a report in
be forgery. The deed to half a mill
ion dollars worth of property held by
Mrs. Nettie r. Craven, and her con-
tract marriage with the late Senator
Fair, are placen in the same category
When Senator Fair died he left an es-
tate valued at from SIC, 900, 900 to $780,
000,0GO. In his will he took elaborate
precautions to keep the estate intact
and the property was left III the shape
Of a trust for the benefit of his chill
dren, Mrs. Herman Celrichs, of New
York; Miss Virginia Fair and Charles
L. Fair.
The children objected to the trust
clause, and sought some way to avoid
1t. Then it was that Mrs. Craven, a
school teacher. and mother of Mar
garet Craven, the actress, produced a
Will of a later date, written with a
pencil, in which Senator Fair distribu-
ted his estate among his children with
out any trusts. The heirs were at first
disposed to accept this pencil will, but
changed their minds when Mrs. Craven
produced deeds to valuable property
which she said had been left to her by
Senator Fair and also a marriage
contract with the late senator. Then
it was that the New York experts were
brought here to examine the various
documents.
Their belief is as stated-that Mrs.
CraVen's documents are all forgeries
CleVerly executed.

finally said: "All right we are ready, and

certificate was handed to the bride by the
justice, the bridegroom dropped dozen pieces

court.

covered that he had so cents. Cost of the

PRESIDENT HARPER, OF CHICAGO
UNIVERSITY, TALKS IN THE
MILL CITY.
PULPITs HIGHLY HoNoRED.
HIS DISCOURSEs AFTERNOON AND
EVENING LISTENED TO By
THOUSANDS.
PRIEST OF BUDDHA HEARD
EerVent Appeal for the Union of
the Forces of Christ and
Buddha.

Prof. w. r. Harper, president of the
University of Chicago, arrived in Min
neapolis yesterday morning at o'clock
and delivered his two lectures, THE
Right Attitude Of the Mind" and Ear
ly Chapters of Genesis yesterday af-
ternoon and evening, respectively, at
the First Baptist church. During the
day he was the guest of Rev William
p. Mckee, 522 Twelfth avenue south
east. The lectures were given under the
auspices of the Minneapolis branch of
the American Institute of Sacred Lit
erature, in the organization of which
Mr.. Harper was the moving spirit. The
attendance in the afternoon was large,
and rapt attention was given the
speaker.
President Harper was listened to at
the First Congregational church, Eighth
avenue and Fifth street southeast, last
evening, by an audience of 1850 people,
the meeting uniting the congregations
of First Congregational, Como Avenue
Congregational, First Methodist and
Olivet Baptist churches. Every foot of
available space in the church was
called into requisition.
The subject Of the evening lecture
was THE First Chapters of Genesis, -
and the address was a scholarly criti-
cisrn on that portion of the Scriptures.
The lecturer admitted many discrepan-
cies in the chapters referred to thestOry
of the time of creation being an illus
tration but he accounted for the sup
posed errors in a large measure. He
contended that the book of Genesis con-
tains the foundat ton principles OF the
plan of salvation, as elaborated in the
Old and New Testaments, and without
1t there would be no satisfactory begin
ming to the plan. He finds the divine
element predominating In the chapters
considered, but shows that there is also
the human element.
