LIGHT ON WHEAT DEAL.
Explanation of the Clash Between
Armour and the Bull Clique.
HEADING OFF HIS SCHEME.
Letter Crowd Ready to Absorb and Ship
Minneapolis wheat-Bulls Acting on
the Theory That May Option Is
Certain to Advance.

MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. S.-The Journal
prints today what it claims to be the in
side of the Armour wheat deal and ex-
PLANTATION of the clash between that
astute operator and the Chicago bull
clique. The latter is said to be much
stronger than was supposed. 1t has de-
veloped that L. z. Letter is one of the
principals in the bull clique The
clique views with composure the Ar
mour plan Of buying wheat in the Min
neapolis market and shipping it to Chi
cago and delivering it under contract
so late in December that the freezing of
the river will prevent its shipment east
1t is supposed that Armour expected
thus to secure the storage of large
share of the wheat for his Chicago ele-
vators until spring. 1t will come as q
genuine surprise to the trade to learn
that the bull clique, far from permitting
the wheat to remain in storage all Win
ter, will ship it all rail east, where it
has already engaged tonnage for Eu-
rope. In this way the December wheat
will be eliminated from the situation.
The Journal asserts that the bull clique
is engineering no artificial corner, and
will try to squeeze no one. The clique
believes that legitimate advance is
inevitable in May, and is acting on that
theory.

from the popular standpoint, is in the
role of the beggar maid in For Bonnie

1t may seem that Miss Marlowe has

career. But. as a matter of fact. her
present triumph is the elimination of

which sang "Pinafore," THE Chimes
of Normandy" and other light operas

In 1882 she played Little Heinrich in
RIP Van Wrinkle" and also minor
Shakespearian parts. She was christ
ened Sarah Frances Frost, but was
known during this period as Frances
Brough, the latter being a family
name.
After these early experiences on the
stage Miss Marlowe came to New York
to acquire a general education. When
she was 16 she began in earnest to
study for her future career upon the
stage. Under the instructor of her
aunt, who was an experienced stock
actress, familiar with all the Shakes
pearean parts, she practiced the classic
roles in a painstaking way. After four
years of close application and con-
slant industry she made her debut in
New York as Parthenia al a matinee.
Her success was pronounced, but not
for a long time afterward did she win

Dear Hal:

Dear Hal:
ITS but little I can send you in the
way Of news this week, and that little
wont be long. It's been regular Chi
csgo weather. can't think of any
thing worse to call it-and people gen
orally have been well content to hug
their ain firesides. 1t was just as well,
perhaps, for there was very little to
tempt them out of doors; at the Grand
1t has been sl1urry, hurry blood, thun-
Ger and sensation all the week; the
people who came out dressed in their
best to see Moths and the Bankers
Daughter" and Caprice" and the
Prernier's Daughter" perhaps stared a
good deal at the Shadows OF G Great
City" and perhaps they remained away
after they had told each other what it
was. But another class of people whose
money is just as good, came and filed
their places, and the managers are
happy. Mr.. Rogers is no respecter of
dimes, quarters and halves, and as long
as they rattle in at his window, he
doesn't stop to ask who lays them
down. This much is to be said for the
people-that they play with the same
earneStnesS and vigOr and conscien-
tiousness whether their lines are cast
in grand StaircaseS at American lega-
lions or on Bi&ckWellS lSldnQ, OF DOOIn
houses of BiddT Roman.
The theater has had but little to offer,
and Manager Burton is no happier for
having offered it. When the Webbing
sisters were announced under the aus
pices of the Young Ladies Aid Society,
1 remembered the numerous bright en-
tertainments that society had given the
town in past days, The Dress Rehear-
SAL THE Lady Minstrels, THE Pr
rates." etc, and 1 said to myself that
the Weddings must be worth the six
bits demanded, so 1 went Well, young
ladies, 1 may get over my feelings to-
ward you after a spell; but it will Cake
time.
It is understood that the Webbing
family got SIS for their services, and
furthermore that they insisted on re-
ceiving it before the curtain went up.
What a pity that the management
didn't stand out; then the curtain
would have been kept down. AS it is,
the Weddings got just about $74.50
above their deserts MARGE.

the place for which she was striving.
1t was not until 1889 that her ability
began to be generally recognized, al
though she appeared inr-New York in
1887 as Juliet and as Viola in Twelfth

made her first appearance as Julia in
The Hunchback' and during the same

the role of ROsalind in LAS You Like

DRAMATIC AND LYRIC.

If memory serves Alright, Otis Skinner
was last seen in this city q dozen years
ago, or such a matter, when Lawrence
Barrett, James and wainwright gave
their original presentation of Fran
ceSca" Skinner was then Paola, the
brother whom Lanciotto murders, and
the impression he then left was that of
a careful and scholarly young actor,
but one somewhat overshadowed by his
loftier surroundings. Since those days
he has blosSomed into q star, and for
three sea sons he has been one of the
established successes. Maud Durbin,
leading lady, who off the stage is Mrs.
Skinner. has been often compared to
Julia MarloWe, and Sarah TruaX, his
second lady, is too well remembered in
Salt Lake to need any words of intro
duction. The company also includes
f. B. Mosely, one of Barrett's old-time
support, and the scenery for all pro-
auctions is said to be entirely new.

the headwaters of the Gatineau, the

for the special purpose of burning at
the graves of deceased relatives, as an

money in this way; but the Chinaman
is far too practical person to part in
such fashion with the currency of the
empire. Instead he buys for a few

gilded pieces of paper, or of imitation
coins blocked out of cardboard AL
though these have no purchasing pow,

for much in the transactions of the

reminded of an old story of a miser
who left his belongings to his son on
condition that a certain sum of money
should be buried in the coffin with him.
