Tuxedo is the title of a brilliant
original benefit entertainment for
which the eleven allied councils Of the
Royal Arcanum Of St. Paul are plan
ming, to take place at the Metropolitan
opera house Feb. 6, 1897 The affair is
to be in the nature Of a first annual
benefit, which, If the significance of the
name and the promises of the mana
gers are fulfilled, will undoubtedly be
one Of the most finished and success
full entertainments Of it's kind present
ed in the city. The exact nature of the
performance is q secret, but arrange
mentS are in process of completion
which augur most elaborate and pre-
tentiouS programme. The best anna
teur talent in the Northwest is said to
be engaged for the occasion, both in
vocal and instrumental musical lines,
as we'll as a diversity of specialists of
rare ability in other branches of enter
tainment. The costumes will be one of
the main features of the performance,
and are said to be marvels Of beauty
and elegance. 1t is the intention of the
order tht the entertainment shall be de-
cidedly swell" and all of the prelim-
inaries have been conducted along lines
tending to produce this effect.
AS first effort every Arcanumite in
the city is evincing the heartiest en-
thuslasm in the success of the enter
tainment, and has delegated himself
committee of one to dispose of tickets
and urge his friends to attend the per-
Torrance. The sale of seats will be
something Of a novelty in itself, as it
will open in the lobby of the opera
house Wednesday, Feb. 8, with an auc-
ton sale, at which the choicest seats
and boxes will be disposed of to the
highest bidder After this tickets may
be procured at the box office. The
specific object of the benefit is the good
of the Royal AArcanum in ST. Paul, and

ter to all local councils urging the
members to lend their best efforts to
it's success. The committees in charge

NO EXCUSE FOR SUICIDE
The Pittsburg Mans Act Not Easily
Explained.


Mrs. James E. Learned, of 496 North
street, sister of Miss Nellie c. McMil-
len, the young Washington woman
now visiting her, made a statement
yesterday about the relations between
her sister and Lieut.. James Wallace,
who committed suicide in Pittsburg
Thursday night, as told in the dis
patches. The two had been going to-
gether for about seven years, and had
the lieutenant lived they would have
been married in May.
my sister cannot account cor the rash
act" said Mrs. Learned. ''Mr. Wallace was
a pure, upright, honorable gentleman. and
end his life, far Nellie knew. They
were corresponding right along and the tone
of the letters of the most affectiona5e
nature. The last letter received was on
Monday, and the writer seemed to be in
good spirits"
Mrs. Learned was asked If there had been
any misunderstanding of any kind.
1.-THE only thing l know Of" said Mrs.
Learned, twas that he had sent letter
which reached here Thanksgiving day in
which he showed some worriment about an
swers to his letters, and asked that reply be
sent by Friday. 1t was impossible for Miss
McMillen to ansewr the letter before Mon
day. She thought that might have annoyed
Mr.. Wallace, especially as be was an ex-
s.It is not true" said Mrs. Learned f'as
has been asserted, that Mr.. Wallaces death
was due to any troubles growing out Of the
engagement.
Mrs Learned said that marriage was to
have taken place about two years ago. but
that it was postponed at the instance of Mr..
Wallace owing to his condition of health.
He had been in poor health, being subject
to heart failure and sinking spells. Putting
together the two facts that Wallace was in
poor health and that he was of a sensitive
turn of mind, a cause may be OWNED for the
act of self-destruction.
He had written that he expected to spend
Christmas with the McMillen family
Miss McMillen received word yesterday
that the funeral will occur Sunday, and she
started for Pittsburg last evening.

SHORT INTEREST INCREASED.
Bear Manipulation Has Not Brought
Out Real Stocks

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Bradstreet's
firmer tone has been exhibited in the
speculative share market during the
present week. The quality of the
transactions has not improved. In the
main, they are still the work of pro-
fessional traders, and public partici-
patton, as gagged by the inactivity or
commission brokers, is almost entirely
lacking. On the other hand. Huuida-
ton Of long holdings of stock has prao-
-tlcally ceased, and the bears find that
their efforts to depress prices by arti.
f1cial manipulation does not bring out
real stocks, but simply increases the
short interest.
The more hopeful feeling which an
1mates the market seems to be due to
revision of speculative opinion re-
gard1ng the probable tenor of the COM
ing presidential message, particularly
IN It's treatment Of the Cuban question.
Ihere is, OF course, uncertainty about
the course of congress on the Cuban
anG other matters, but a feeling has
grown that the short session NAV NOT
be productive of any very positive ao-
ton, though the larger speculative IN
tefests which have ceased to act on
the pear side show an indisposition to
adopt any positive course until con.
gfess meets, and there is some definite
OASIS OF which to judge Of it's policy. It
must, however, be noted that this haa
not deferred certain interests from in
shutting bulllsh manipulations in their
own spec1alties, more particularly in
stocks in which lthe existence Of anv
considerable volume of bear CONTRA acts
afforded opportunity for marking IN
prices on the shorts.
