interest the connection which his own
has with the rest of the play. Actors,
as rule, are good critics when they
care to be, and the more intelligent and
important members of the company
usually listen for the entire effect of a
new play. without merely confining
their attention to that which directly
concerns their own work.
For pure "woodenness'' and absence
of any dramatic feeling, the first re-
hearsal probably cannot be surpassed
anywhere. Each actor comes upon the
stage with his typewriter part in his
hand, and reads the lines as they are
before him. Then the position which
he is to take is given to him by the
author or the stage mana ger, and all
the numberless little actions which lat
er appear so spontaneous on his part
the "busiress,' as they are called-are
explained and given to him in minute
detail.
Precisely what each actor is going to
do, even to the smallest and seemingly
most trivial things, must be perfectly
understood by every one in the scene,
or confusion would be likely to follow.

H. Ratishauser, of Detroit, Mich,
one of the stockholders in the Foley
Gold Mining company, arrived in Du-
luth Friday from the gold country.
In an interview with an Evening
Herald reporter he said that at a
meeting Of the company, held last
Friday, it was decided to buy new
compressor and ten new diamond
drills. Only two drills are being
worked at the mine now, which is not
sufficient to keep the stamp mill
supplied with ore. With the new
compressor and ten additional drills
this trouble will be overcome and the
mill will be kept busily at work.

cents per ton of its output, it was

such payment was necessary, and as
he was upheld County Auditor Halden

back taxes. This was some time ago,
and Thursday a check arrived paying

LABOR STATISTICS.
Interesting Data From the Census Blu
reau

Interesting Data From the Census Blu
reau.
Comparative figures compiled by
the department of labor, in the form of
deductions from the last census statiS-
tics, relating to workers at gainful
occupations point to the fact that per-
sons at work, especially females, have
increased very much faster than the
population at large. AS a result, the
statement shows that the proportion of
workers relative to the whole number
of people of the respective ages, was
consid era ole greater in 1890 than at the
preceding census periods and that this
increased proportion Is apparent for
each of the great classes of occupations
except agriculture, fisheries and min
ing. All this, the statement sets out,
SHOWS very clearly the constantly in
creasing disinclination of our popula-
lion to follow agricultural pursuits, u
tendency materially FASTENED doubtless
by the wide application of machinery
To the proc esses of agriculture. De-
spite this dis nclin alton and the recent
overcrowding of manufacturing and
commercial centers, the analysis dem
osstrates that the increased proper ton
of workers is found generally in the
higher walks of business life and in
those occupations which call for skilled
labor principally rather than in the
lowest or more labOriOus forms of en-
plOyment. The conclusion is accord
lngly stated to be inevitabl that the
great body of workers has, as whole,
progressed and has percepJibly risen

THE republican party goes straight

The republican party goes straight
along redeeming its pledges. 1t pro-
missed at St. Louis a protective tariff
and has produced it. 1t promised an
honest effort for bimetallic conference
and has not only made the effort, but
the effort is likely to be crowned with
success. Itpromised currency with
every dollar as good as gold, and its
secretary of the treasury is now
shaping up plan which will give a
uniform and safe currency, and thus
redeem three of the important pledges
of the platform. Contrast this state of
affairs with the conditions four years
ago. when banks were failing and
business houses crashing in every
direction, with democratic president
sitting supinely in the white house and
doing nothing to improve condition
but planning a destructive tariff and
bond issues. which only added to the
debt of the country.
