An entertainment hastily gotten
up but replete with humor, and sue
cessful financially, was given at the
Crissman House Saturday evening
The audience demonstrated its APP
probation by the encores, and lib
eral contributions to the very
worthy object. The program opened
with a piano solo by Lila B. Van
Etten, followed with a song by Mrs.
j. D. Biddis, "Comin' Through the
Rye" and tableau representation of
the sentiment by D. R. Chaplin and
Nina Bull. The young couple very
neatly personified the embarrass
ment which sometimes results from
the " Gin a body well, neither
cried anyway.
Poetry was embodied both in the
pose and beauty of the next picture
which was portrayed by Belle Find
ley, Nettie Terwilliger and Nellie
Quick. A gypsy scone followed
wherein q number of young ladies
display yed such grace and beauty
that the real Gitanas had any been
present would have burned with
envy.
Mrs. Frank Crissman read with
her accustomed delioacy of express
sion the Sixth Canto of Scott's Mar
miOn
Maud Muller raking hay was a
scene which Elsie Mott made 80 re-
alistic that one could fancy smelling
the odor of freshly cut grass and
daisies as she demurely waited for
the Judge, Dan Wheeler who came
prancing up on fiery steed and
partook of cup of cold water with
relish evidently cultivated for the
occasion.
The 1T Might Have Been" was a
medley of wash tub music and the
long drawn sigh which betokened a
fond recollection of former days.
Geo. B. Drake than recited couple
of Whitcomb Riley's poems, in a
way which proved him master of
humor and capital elocutionist.
The three fates, Hattie Decker,
Bertha Williamson and Lila B. Van
Etten did not closely resemble the
tabled Parcae though they held the
thread upon which is supposed to
hang so much of what interests the
human family. Mrs. Crissman
again favored the audience with a
selection from Owen Meredith, and
the collection was taken.
The result was highly gratifying,
about $40 being the amount realized
Mr.. George B. Wilson, a guest al
the house, was master of ceremonies
and his speech appealing to the gen
erosity of the audience for the very
worthy object was gem of i'm
promptu oratory. It could not hav'
been more feeling or impassioned
had it been q studied effort. Some
times his thoughts ontran his pow
ers OF expression, and whether /

chestnut-there were no chestnuts il

the various scenes. His only draw
back to physical beauty is his red
headedness, but one soon forget
} that in the charm of his lucid OK
preston. and the appearance wa
naturally attributed to the red fir
setting of several tableaux.

Arnios on Deck

The foot ball season has fairly
opened and the usual crop of bruises
and breaks follows. The advice
given her son by a lady is appropri-
ate. Never go near the water until
you learn TO swim, so never play
football until you learn the game.
John Van Etben has occasion to re-
gret that this precept was not obey
ed, for one of the bones of his hand
was broken recently by kick from
a fellow who did not understand the

Without Action.

The local humane society, throug4 its at
torney, l.. 7. Chamberlain, appeared before
the board of county commissioners at the
regular meeting of that body yesterday and
asked for financial help. The county board
asked Mr. Chamberlain how much the hui
name society would like to have the county

county board would be doing the handsome
thing if it donated S25 a month. ThereuDon
Mr. Chamberlain was advised to submit the
petition In writing in order that the com
mittee on ways and means might deliberate
upon it.
The board formally accepted the proposition

WAS 1T AN AIR-sHIP.
Strange Light Engineer Hussey Saw
in the Heavens.

Engineer John J. Hussey, whose en-
CINE pulled the day train down from
Duluth yesterday over the Eastern
Minnesota. bring news of what is sup
posed to have been an airship which
scared over northern Minnesota early
Sunday morning, and which was seen
by a number of reputable men. Be
fore the sun had risen Sunday morn
ing, the night express on the Eastern
was eating up the distance, when En-
gineer Hussey noticed in the neighbor-
hood of Mansfield Hill, some $50 miles
from here, the strange looking aerial
body. Hussey called the attention of
his fireman, John Henderson, and the
two agreed it was not a star. 1t was
a large, white, long light which seemed
surrounded by some dark objects, and
1t appeared to be moving in a north
westerly direction. While Hussey docs
not give it as his positive opinion that
the strange object was an airship, he
Is at loss to explain what it was.
1T was still dark when we pulled
into Mansfield Hill, and L noticed the
queer thing, whatever it was" said
Engineer Hussey last night at his home
en- Cedar street. 81 called the atten-
ton Of my fireman, Henderson, to 1t,
and later when stopping at station,
to the conductor, ]. w. Gilboy. He
was at loss to give it name, though
he agreed it was not a star. The air.
ship, if it was such a thing, moved
toward Deerwood, where Night Oper-
ator Mason, who Is quite a practical
joker, still says in earnest he saw the
aerial wanderer. Agent Campbell, at
Motley, Night Operator Harris, of the
Northern Pacific, as we'll as a number
of their townspeople, claim they saw
the ship for nearly an hour before It
finally disappeared. Harris said the
object appeared to be about the size
of the moon, but that he still saw It
after daylight, so there was no chance
to mistake 1t for the moon or a star.
Along the line we found the operators
talking about having seen the airship
They had heard of it's presence from
other operators, even along the line Of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
ciffc. When we pulled into Duluth
Night Operator Evans told US he had
been advised by a number of his
friends along the line that they had
seen an airship. When Conductor Gill
boy and l told him what we had seen,
he was convinced that there was such
thing in the neighborhood One sar-
castle fellow, when asked over the
wire if he had seen the ship, replied:
Yes, and on it appeared the legend
'Klondike or Bust"
Several of the more imaginative of
the boys described the exact shape, the
color of the light, ETC., but L do not
take much stock in all that 1 do say
1t was very peculiar object, whatever
it was"

OCCUPANT IN ONE OF THEM.
SHE LOCKED HERSELF UP AND
SCREAMED FOR HELP WITH
OUT ANY RESULT.
BURGLAR CONTINUES HIS SEARCH.
Mrs. e. TrainOr, of East Eleventh
Street Loses Some JeweIry
and Her Purse.

The terrorizing boldness of the bur-
glars and thugs operating in the city
was eXemplifed yesterday afternoon
shortly before o'clock, when the home
Of Miss Georgia Ross, 62S Jackson
street, was robbed, while Mrs. o. An
derson, ledger, was in the upper part
of the house, locked in her room and
screaming for help, after discovering
the presence of the burglars The rob-
bers assured themselves that Mrs. An
derson was alone In the house and, af-
ter intimidating her by attempting to
force an entrance to her room, calmly
continued a search of the house down
stairs. where trunk was broken open,
and it's contents of feminine wearing
apparel to the value of $50 carried
away.
The first intimation Mrs. Anderson
had of the burglars presence was when
she heard some one trying to open the
door to her room. She knew the occu-
pants of the other part of the house
were absent, and at once became
alarmed. In answer to the query as
to what was wanted, the man asked in
gruff voice if the house was for rent
Mrs. Anderson told him it was not,
when the intruder pushed savagely
against the door. Mrs. Anderson
screamed, and the man walked hurried
ly down stairs. In a few moments he
returned and went UP into the attic,
where Mrs. Anderson could hear him
walking around and overhauling the
stored contents. Then Mrs. Anderson
opened her window and called loudly
for help. No one seemed to hear her,
however, and the burglar came down
stairs and proceeded to the lower hall
way, where the trunk was broken open.
Doubtless becoming alarmed at Mrs.
Anderson's continued calls for assist
ance, the burglars made no attempt to
enter the rooms on the lower floor, but
contented himself with making o.; wiur
the apparel in the trunk, consisting of
two white lawn dresses, a silk evening
dress, silk waist, a white lawn waist
and three gold studs. Mrs. Anderson
remained locked in her room until the
return Of Miss Ross shortly after 6
o'clock, when the robbery was reported
to the police. The patrol wagon was
quickly sent to the scene of the bur-
glary, but no trace of the robber could
be found.

The civil engineers of st. Paul are

this proposition was discussed, as we'll

met with enthusiastic favor, but most

went over for final consideration at
the annual meeting to be held Jan. 8.
The society at present includes civ
