city after city is based on some in
trinsic value in the thing offered. The
day when meritricious plays could en-
dure, if such a day ever was, is GER
tainly not of the present. Every new
effort brought forward must have the
true ring of strength in some part of
its structure to Withstand the keen and
critical judgment Of the public.
The new play of the South AT Piney
Ridge has passed the ordeal with credit
to it's author and comes to ST. Paul well
fortified with the commentator not only Of
the New York and Eastern press generally
but the praise and Endorsement of the public
as well. Without assuming to exactly por-
tray any special phase of American life or
present distinctive stage pictures strictly true
In detail, to the daily routine of the local
fty where the action of the drama is set, 1t is
said to have enough of the rude and homey
quality of the Tennessee mountain region to
give full Zest and character to the whole
without marring the charm of the poetic side
of the picture. The dust of the mountain
Road is there, the selfish side of humanity,
the cruel fight for survival, as in every quar-
ter Of the globe where man has set his foot,
but it is the background Of the painting, the
mountain blue and the mountain brightness
that form the main ingredients of the scene.
Briarson is bad not because he would eat
a breakfast criminally, if he could but to
gain success, and Jack Rose is mildly heroic
for the same reason 1t is the cd eternal
fight for the same eternal prize-the better
ment of the fighter, and all material effort
comes just to this and little more. The
weapons used. the methods employed, the
fairness of the battle-in that rests the larg-
est element, the motive aside.
The play tells a dramatic story and reaches
its stirring climaXes in a brief and skillful
manner, it is said. The third act of this play
has been described as excessively alluring, %
and the whole drama is said to present a
true and fascinating picture of Southern rural
life. David Higgins, the author, plays the

leading role, that of Jack Rose. The cast
also includes Frederick Julian, last seen
here in 1.-The Fatal Card" in which play
he assumed a leading role; Louise Rial, Ben
jamin F. Horring, Sarah Cameron, Van Kin
zie, Olive Davis, Elizabeth Field and others.
The belfry act of 1.-The Heart of Maryland
is said to be the acme of realism. The i'm

her lovers life by preventing the sounding

YALE IS COMING.
GIee and Mandolin Clubs VIII Visit
ST. Paul on Their Christmas Tour.

The Yale Glee. Banjo and Mandolin clubs
will visit St. Paul on Jan. 4, and give one
of their sparkling concerts at the Peoples
church that evening. Their songs have that
snap and vigor which characterizes every
organization reared meath the elms'' and
has made the sons of "Old Eli leaders in
whatever they undertake. There is grit, cour-
age and a never-say-die spirit that brings
the Yale men out of SO many tight corners.
This spirit not only rules the athlete, but
is tonic that fires every man in the uni
versty. The most valuable thing that a
graduate taken away from Yale is not the
learning but the lesson that success is not
thing of conditions or circumstances, but
depends on constant, untiring energy and
well directed effort In after life it is one
of these old songs that comes to a man
and helps him to do the deed which must
be done These songs represent not only
to college men, but to all men, the days of
youth when the world seems brightest and
best, and will often take man back twenty
years to the hopeful, uboyish stranger who
stood on the threshold of this workday world
full of light-heafted enthusiasm born of
health and youth. The Yale clubs are made
up of about forty-fve men, who will take
their annual Christmas trip through the
South and West. They travel in two private
cars, and have the kind of time that only a
have. During their visit in this city the
clubs will be looked after by the following
local committee of Yale graduates: Theodore
Griggs, George Langford. Albert Lindeke, T.
L. McClung w. G.. Moves and Webster
Wheelock The clubs will be entertained by
Mrs Daniel R. Noyes at a tea, and after
the concert, Mrs. E. N. Saunders will open
her home for the Yale visitors and their
friends here in a large reception.

ASSEMBLY HALL BULLETIN.
Meetings to BE Held During the
Week.

the Journeymen Tailors' Union of
America, arrived in st. Paul from
Bloomington, ILL.,, Monday last. Mr.
Lennon, accompanied by Emil Skoog
and other prominent officials of the
Minneapolis union, attended a meeting
of local No. So in the evening. In
speech of considerable length he en-
deavored to persuade the members to
reconsider their action in seeding from
the national organization The princi-
pal cause of the unions withdrawal ap-
pears to be the disallowance of a death
benefit claim to the heirs of one Olson
Mr. Lennon attempted to convince
those present that the claim was il
legal and offered to submit the disput-
ed point to arbitration, the committee
to consist of three trades unionists of
st. Paul, to be selected by the tailors
themselves; or, if that was not salts
factory, to leave it to any one of the
judges Of the district court of Ram
sey county If the tailors' union had
nothing to fear from such a course
and were honest in their convictions, it
would have been better for them
selves, the trades unions OF this city
and organized labor in general if they
had acceded to the request of Mr.. Len
non, as more fair proposition was
never submitted. There are but few
members of organized labor who do
not regret the course the union has
seen fit to adopt and sincerely hope
that some way will yet be discovered
by which No. SO will again become af-
filiated with the national organization.
1t was at first reported that Mr.. Len
non would institute another union in
the city, but from a conversation had
with that gentleman prior to his de-
parture for home he still has hopes
that the members of No. SO, after calm
elaboration, will see the folly of the
step taken and will soon be back I'M
der the protecting wing Of the parent
association.

The latest adjunct that science gives
to the surgical operator is an electric
eye. Strictly speaking, it is not an eye
at all, but rather Il sort of searchlight,
which is used to aid the human eye in
delicate surgical operations.
Oftentimes surgeons are handicapped
in their work by the fact that they can
not see distinctly the parts upon which
they must operate. The formation of
the human body is such that i'll many
instances 10 light can be put directly
upon the particular part of the human
anatomy that is to be operated upon.
The eye can see to the extent Of human
capability, but i'll intricate operations,
however strong the light in the opcrat-
ing theater may be, the rays lack that
penetration and power of concentration
SO necessary to delicate surgical opera
tons.
Professor Charles L. Quimby, of
Bellevue hospital, New York, has pat
ented this new aid to surgery. FROM an
ordinary electric light wire u connection
is made with this device, which fits the
face much i'll the manner of a pair Of
spectaclcs. The appliance in itself con
sists of two small incandescent lamps,
which are fitted one above and the other
below the eye of the operator. They ale
SO adjusted that the rays focus at point
sufficiently near the ordinary point of
vision to throw all the power of the
electric rays upon the point desired.
1t is practically portable scarchliEht
adapted to the operating thcuter. The
lamps are in the form of an annulnr
glass globe, with an illuminating con-
ductor. An insulated backing, consist
ing of Il metal leather lined band, which
passes around the head, prevents the
heat from affecting the wearer, and at
the same time holds the light in position
and prevents any possible effect that
otherwise the electricity might have
upon the wearer. The lights more near
ly resemble long glass tubes than any
thing else. Within these tubes are placed
the lamps, which can be adjusted to any
desired angle. When direct downward
ray is desired, Il small reflector is fixed
above the light and the rays thrown in
the desired direction.-San Francisco
Examiner.

A GREAT RIVER.
Marco Polo's Report Concerning the CT.
cantic Nauy-t,c-K iauc,

Marco Polo's Report Concerning the CT.
gantic Yang-tse-KianS.
Noah Brooks quotes the following
from the great Venetian traveller i'll his
series of st. Nicholas papers, 1.-THE
True Story of Marco Polo:'
And l assure You this river flows 81
far and traverscs so many countries and
cities hat i'll good sooth there pass and
repass on its waters Il great number of
vessels and more wealth and IncrChan-
disc than all the rivers aud all the seas
of Christeudom put together. II seems
indeed more like Il sea than river. Mes
ser Marco Polo said that he once bthUld
at that city 10, 600 vessels at one time.
And you may judge if this city of no
great size has such a number, how many
must there be altogether, considering
that on thcrpanks of this river there are
more than 16 provinces ard moro than
200 great cities, besides towns and vii
lagos, all possessing vessels.
Mcsser Marco Polo aforesaid tells us
That he heard from the officer employed
to collect the great khan's duties on this
river that there passed up stream 300
O0O vessels i'll the year, without count
ing those that passed down! Indeed, as
it has u course of such great length and
receives Sc many other navigablc rivers,
it is no wonder that the merchandise
which is borne on it is of vast amount
and value. And the article in largest
quantity of all is salt, which is carried
by this river and its branches to all tho
cities on their banks and thence to the
other cities in the interior.
The vessels which ply III this river
are docked. They have but one mast,
but they are of great burthcn, for | can
assure you they carry, reckoning by ou1
weight, from 1000 to ~, 600 cantars
each. In going up stream they have to
be hauled, for the current is so strong
that they could not make head in any
other manner Now the towlinc. which
is some 800 PAGES in length, is made Of
nothing but cane. Ills i'll this way:
They have those great canes of which !
told you before that they are some Is
PAGES in length. These they take and
split from end to end into many slender
strips, and then they twist these strips
together so as to make a rope Of any
length they please. And the ropes so
made are stronger than if they were
made of hemp.

A CHILD ASLEEP.

How 10 .leepeth! Having drunken
Weary childhood's mandragere,
From his pretty eyes have sunken
Pleasures tn make room for more
Sleeping near the withered nosegay which he
pulled the day before.
Nosegaysl Leave them for the waking.
Throw them earthward where they grew.
Dim are such beside the breaking
Amaranths he looks unto.
Folded eyes See brighter colors than tho open
ever do.
Heaven flowers, rayed by shadows golden
From the palms they sprang beneath,
Now perhaps divinely holden,
Swing against him in a wreath.
We may think so from the quickening Of his
bloom and Of his breath.
Vision unto vision calleth
While the young child dreameth on.
Fair, . dreamer, thee befalleth
With the glory thou hast won.
Darker vert thou in the garden yester morn
by summer sun.
We should see the spirits ringing
Round thee were the clouds away.
IT'S the child heart draws them, singing
In the silent seeming clay.
SingingP Stars that seem the mutest go in
music all the way.
As the moths around n taper,
As the bees around n rose,
As in sunset many n vapor,
So the spirits group and close
Round about II holy childhood, as if drinking
its repose.
