The Twin Cities Responsible for the
Plays Name.
In line with the fact that some funny
things happen in the theatrical profess
sion, peculiar incident is related con-
corning the adventure of Charles E.
Blancy, proprietor of both "a Boy
Wanted" and "a Baggage Check" COM
panies, and his clever brother, Harry
Clay Blaney who will disport in the
new play the ensuing year. Last win
ter, the Columbus Dispatch says, the
gentlemen in question had a very i'm
portant matter of business which had
to be settled with all possible dis
patch. Harry Blaney being at the
time with Henderson's Sinbad company
and playing in Minneapolis and st.
Paul, wired his brother to meet him
Sunday without fail. AS every one
knows, these wonderful twin cities,
Minneapolis and st. Paul, are only 10
miles apart, and elegantly appointed
electric trains run between. Well, when
Charles Blaney arrived in Minneapolis
and called at the West house. he was
told that the company had left the hotel
and gone to st. Paul. Being in great
haste to return to his own company, he
took the next train In hot pursuit of his
brother. In the meantime Harry
Blaney, not finding his brother at st.
Paul as he expected, started back.
So they passed each other on the road
and reached their destinations only to
be told that they were too late. Again
each started for the other end of the
line and with the same result This
was repeated once more, by which time
the trains stopped running and each
went to bed still 10 miles apart The
next morning rather than risk the
chance again, each telegraphed the
other, and about 2 p. m. two worn and
prematurely old men might have been
seen shaking hands at the transfer,
half way between the cities, to which
point each had evidently walked. After
the brothers had shaken hands, Har-
rvs first words were, "We1I, brother.
have you decided upon a title for the
new play?" Before Mr. Blaney could
reply, an old man who had seen Mr..
Blaney walking through the hot, dusty.
road, looking in all directions as If in
search of someone, remarked, "Well,
mister, have you found what you
wanted?" Mr.. Blaney replied that "he
had" We'll, what did you want" his
brother said. II wanted a boy and
you were the boy, so I think under the
circumstances the most appropriate
title would be "A Boy Wanted And
so 1t was.

bodies of the council last evening con-

MISSIONS IN JAPAN.
Mrs. BIacl1stock Says the Field Needs
Markers.


Mrs. Ella Blackstock, for six years con-
nected with the missionary industrial school
Of the Methodist church in Toxic Japan, de-
livered an interesting address upon her expe-
rfences in the mission field at the First NJ.
E. church last evening. Mrs. Blackstock
stated that the school of which she was
superintendent was the result of bequest of
Mrs. Harrison, of Minneapolis, and that 1t
was accomplishing a great good in the cause
of Christianity among the Orientals. Japan
was described a field white for the har-
vest, but with scarcity of laborers, which
difficulty the speaker was endeavoring to in
measure overcome by a tour of the United
States for the purpose Of arousing a deeper
interest in the work which she represented.
The Christian schools in Japan, Mrs. Black
stock stated, were administered along the
lines Of evangelical and industrial education,
being conjoined purpose which aided greatly
in the work of Outstanding the idoItrous
and also in raising the standard of char
acter among the Inhabitants. There were at
present, according to the speaker 40, 900
Christians In JAPAN many of whom were zeal
ously engaged in spreading the Gospel among
the heather, even to carrying the Word
among the officials of the government and
army. During the recent war between China
and japan over $4,000 copies of the Bible had
been distributed among the soldiers and
many of the army were now converts
Enthusiastically, Mrs. Blackstock de-
seribed the Japanese as q race of rare intel
ligence and capable of the highest attain
ment in all lines of education. In her school
there were forty-three students pursuing
studies similar to those taught in this coun-
try and their progress was rapid and thor
ough.
Mrs. Blackstock had with her a number Of
idols and specimens Of needle work wrought
by her Japanese pupils which she exhibited
at the close of her address.

Judge Flandrau followed in q short
address in which he spoke of the pit
liable exhibition of the last congress
wasting its time in profitless discussion
of free silver. He was reminded of a
clipping he saved from a newspaper,
which ran as follows:
Congress may talk. and talk and talk,
And talk the livelong day;
But 1t can't make a dollar out of so cents,
Because a dollar isn't built that way"
Judge Flandrau thought that little
ditty was the kernel of the whole
money problem.
At this juncture r. c.. Beady, a silver
enthusiast, arose in the audience and
allowed as how he had just dropped
IN" in time to hear the Judge mention
something about a so cent dollar. and
he wanted the president to explain
what he meant. 1t was the opening
gun of very amusing and one-sided
debate. Judge Flandraus answer was
quick and to the point.
Yesterday" said he, II went with
Dan Lawler to the German American
bank, where with SIS Of our money, he
bought ten Mexican silver dollars,
each of which had 46 more grains of sill
yer than an American dollar. but was
worth just half as much. Now why
was this so, when the Mexican dollar
weighed more? 1t was because that
American dollar could be exchanged for
a gold dollar while the Mexican dol
lar could not be sold for more than its
intrinsic value in silver, Now suppose
we would have free silver. We would
make so many silver dollars that the
gold would be driven out, and when
the parity ceases, then the silver dol
lar would be worth only its intrinsic
value in bullion. That, sir, is my def
milton of 90 cent dollar"
But the silver man continued to ply
questions and advance arguments to
the delight Of the silver ''rooters' in the
back seats. He was invited to the
platform as a matter of courtesy, but
launched off into a silver speech, un-
mindful Of the fact that he had been
invited to the stage to answer a ques-
ton put to Senator Ozmun Finally
Thomas Cochran was compelled to
raise point of order and the crest
fallen silverite took his seat. Mr.. Clutch
con removed the clouds which hung
about by another short and concise
statement Of the financial question
