Primrose and West.

It is really remarkable how minstrel
sy has grown in the past dozen years,
that is, how one company has grown,
for others seem to have degenerated
while Primrose & Vests minstrels have
progressed. This great minstrel organi
zation will be at the Lyceum one night
only Oct. 4, with company composed of
entirely white men, no negroes being
employed this season. As said before,
it is a remarkable fact that while other
minstrel managers have found their
efforts to succeed in this line unavailing
Messrs. Primrose & West have steadily
gone forward and find themselves on the
high wave of prosperity, and to be about
the only legitimate representatives of
minstreley in America. Their company
this season includes the names OF Ezra
Kendall, Carroll johnson, Schrode
Brothers, Fake & Semon, Alexander
Cameron, Charles Kent, Louis Pritzkow
aud George Louis.
A feature of the program will be the
new mar b invented and led by Mr.,
West, entitled "The Zouave PATROL
This is said to be the most elaborate
prod uction of the kind ever conceived
The costumes are described as being
marvels of beauty and the electrical
effects as astonishing in the extreme.

The Verdict Of the Coroner's Jury on th
Hazleton Massacre.

The Verdict OF the Coroner's Jury on the
Hazleton Massacre.
The coroner's jury that Investigated
the death of the striking miners at Lat
inner, says an associated press dispatch
from Hazleton, rendered the following
verdict:
''Ehat from the circumstances of the
case and the evidence offered, the said
Clement Platock and others came to
their death by gunshot wounds on Sept.
10, at the hands of Sheriff James Mar
tin and his deputies, and in this we, the
jury, do all agree; and we, Phil. J. Boyle
Thomas T. Thomas, Barton Freas and
Peter McKiernan, Of this Jury, do fur
ther say that the said Clement Platock,
with others, was marching peaceably
and unarmed on the public highway,
that they were intercepted by said
Sheriff Martin and his deputies and
mercilessly shot to death, and we do
further find that the killing was unnec-
essary and could have been avoided
without serious injury to either person
or property, and find finally that the
killing Was wanton and unjustifable,
but in this we, George Made and F. J.
MacNeal, of this jury, do not concur; and
we, the jury, do further say that there
was such strong suspicion of unlawful
violence at the hands of persons un-
known to this jury as to make this in
quest necessary.

In these days of scenic stage realism
the author must be mechanic, as we'll

ton of effect and in "A Bunch of Keys"
one sees the fruition of all this implies.
There is enough realism to make one
wonder how such things can be worked
on stage, and they are SO natural as to
appear almost actual. The company
presenting this skit is a strong ono and
the scenic effects are most novel and in
harmony with the text. One soon tires
of too long drawn production of dra.

perior has promised $500.
A prominent business man
of Duluth was heard to remark
confidentially the other day
that this had been the. dullest
September he had ever known.
Well not name him; his name
is numerous. But the ques-
ton arises, what about that
prosperity?
The printers thought a couple
of weeks ago that prosperity
had come sure. Jobs in one
office would wait till fellow
got through with stretch in
another. Now-well, most Of
the shops this week are man
aging to keep the foreman OFT
the streets at least half the
time.
The attention of organized
labor and it's friends is directed
to the fact that only two OF the
slaundries in this city display
the union card, viz: the Globe
and Eureka. These laundries
are completely unionized and
we would bespeak for them the
patronage of everyone in sym
pathy with unionism.
City Attorney Richards has
that the quo war
ranto proceedings against the
gas and water company will
not be reached on the supreme
court calendar for about four
months Much of the former
evidence obtained is now, from
lapse of time, practically worth
less
The fire department horses,
that the city council refused to
allow to be sold at private sale,
were sold Tuesday at public
auction. The bunch of five
brought $225.50, whereas the
department had expected less
than $175.OO. The old building
formerly known as 1ii< :'all No.
3, brought $125.o0.
The labor bazaar project is
receiving considerable encour-
agement. There is enough
leisure time in most of the
trades to. permit of extensive
preparations, and if there was
only as much cash in the peck
cts of the people to guarantee
the financial end of the enter
prise, the bazaar beyond a
shadow of doubt would be a
grand success.

which proceedings prevented the details
of the confession from getting out.
In talking to Cote and some of the other
detectives, Kelly told many incidents of
his trip. Among other things he intimated
that he had stolen the clothes with which
he was disguised from an old woman whom
he met at st. Justine de Newton.
At the house in Montreal where he was
captured Kelly said that he was a man
out for lark and was admitted. The wo-
man suspected Kelly and telephoned for
the police. When he left the house in
charge of the officers. he said: 'Well,
goodbye. girls. The next time you hear of
me it will be at the end Of a rope" and he
laughingly made a sign which meant that
he was going to be hanged.

THE OREGON's INJURIES.
Naval Constructor Cnpps Makes Ligh,
of Them i'm His Report.

NAVAL SOnstructOf SnppS MAKES Light
of Them I'm His Report.
Naval Constructor Caps, who is in
charge Of the docking of the battle ship
Oregon at Bremerton, Wash, has at last
made report by telegraph to the Navy
Department upon the injuries sustained
by the Dig ship by touching bottom off the
entrance of the dock. He says that the
ship was docked successfully, which state
ment the department officials regard as a
sufficient contradiction of the vague re-
ports that have been put af1oat to the eff
feet that the new dock has sunk under the
weight of the Oregon, and has shown signs
of weakness. Probably these reports
started from the noticeable delay in get
ting the water out Of the dry dock, which
Is here ascribed to prudent precaution
on the part Of Constructor Caps to avoid
settling the ship upon ill-fitting bilge
blocks. AS for the Oregon herself, the
constructor makes light of her injuries
Her bottom plates and some frames under
the forward turret were dented in along a
distance of about fifty feet. However, no
indentation was more than three inches
deep, and no leaks resulted. The construc-
tor does not even regard ii as necessary to
repair the damage in a permanent way
now, but may decide to let the ship go to
sea again, and take out the dents when
she returns next fall to be fitted with her
bilge keels.
