purposes they are too conspicuous for

There is no rose in the land which can
supplant the violet in the affections OF
the society woman. It's coloring, it's
fragrance, it's refinement give it the
first place of honor. Then the fact that
q bunch of violets may be worn on al
most any occasion and not be out Of
place is an advantage which it has over
many other howers.-Leisure Hours.

choruses and superb ballots. Each
voice was sweet and distinct, and each
action realistic. And to say that the
two Duets evil Love Be True?" by
the Misses Convey and Reid, and the
Kiss" by Mr.. Ridsdale and Miss Vane
were fine would be putting it mildly,
Encores greeted both. Mr.. Ridsdale's
baritone is fine. Nor could the work
of Emma Graves as Ballah, the Ra-
jah's sister, be excelled.
The comedy was furnished by e. L.
Graves as Hadad, sailor, tramp, liar,
etc., and Jack Leslie as Nockey, Ha-
dads companion. From the stand
point of comedy they were the whole
show with several diamonds thrown in,
and their very appearance was the
cause of applause. They departed
from the strict play to be original, but
if the play lacked originality they bet
tered the case. Their burlesques were
clever and the dancing of Mr.. Leslie
was as fine as could be seen anywhere.
Messrs. Compton as Said Pasha and
Harry O. Wesley as the Rajah, as we'll
as ell of the choruses added merit to
the presentation,
LA MAsCoTTE.
La Mascotte is growing old, or the
fact that the Gilberts have been max
ing Said Pasha their card for all one
night stands, and hence lost part OF
the snap Of La Mascotte, has made it
little slow. The music was cut con-
siderable, but no company plays the
full version. Yet, in the second act,
if the Gilberts had enlivened the drag
of the long conversation by some mu-
sic, we believe that it would have been
more highly appreciated by the spec
tators. There was nothing lacking on
the part of the artists of the company
They made all that they could out OF
what was given them to work on, and
undoubtedly would have made more
If they had more. Messrs. Graves
and Leslie went ahead of the humor
OF the opera, but even then they did
not appear to advantage. Miss Vane
as La Mascotte was bewitching, and
Mr.. Ridsdale as Pippo was favorable,
the two only failing in the 'gobble
and ba-a-a", duet.

TWO NIGHTS OF OPERA.

1t is easy to say that this or that op-
era company is the hest one travelling
off the big circuits, and nearly all of
the companies make use of language
implying the same in their preliminary
advertising. The Gilbert Opera Co.
was free from this preliminary boast
ing, and yet when it appeared before
Redwood Falls audience last Thurs
day evening, and the curtain went
down on the final act of Said Pasha,
the company had the pleasure of list
ening to many enconiums from the
audience to the effect that it was the
best that ever struck this city. But
this demonstration was not merely a
tail-end demonstration. It was on the
surface all the way through, the pre-
sentation, and the usual icy Redwood
Falls audience could not refrain from
encroaching upon it's past reputation
to the extent of doing away with
Bostonese formalities and applauding
the meritorious efforts of the mem
bers Of the company as they so fire.
quently appeared.
Of course, the opera itself was big
part of the show. That is, very few
other operas have as pleasing music as
does Said Pasha. It is the music that
thrills, that amuses-that drives dull
care and sober life away, and trans
ports one into the realms of pleasure
for few hours. It's choruses, its solos
and Duets are all so magnetic, its
comedy SO pure and bubbling, and its
drop of pathos SO easy that it contin-
ually appeals to the softer sentiments
of the most crabid old opponent Of
the opera stage.
To individualize the company would
almost cast discredit on the remainder
all of the members being so very near
the goal of perfection in action and in
voice. So real was each appearance
each motion, each expression that dur
| ing the entire evening there wasn't the
slightest perception of awkwardness.
The three leading feminine roles,
Terano, a Mexican nobleman by Miss
Convey, Queen Att by Miss Reid and
Serena by Miss Vane, we're filled in a
manner that would have done credit

WHEAT HOLDS FIRM.

Wheat prices still hold firm in spite
of the efforts of the bear element to
depress them, says Chicago advice Of
Sept. 9th.
The temporary success which this
element obtained some time ago when
values were sent down from the dollar
mark to 88a made them confident after
there had been a reaction of about ten
cents from that point, that another
slump could be manipulated, but thus
far they have failed utterly in their
campaign for .9O-cent wheat. What
looked like the elimination of their
efforts occurred to-day. There was a
strong drive at prices at the opening
and for time December wheat sold
at 9O4, but at that point strong people
who have been buying wheat on all
the declines began adding to their
purchases, and in a short time gain
Of more than a cent had been made.
When the market closed it was at a
substantial advance from the low
point, and the signs we're that there
would be no slump tomorrow.
Corn is in a peculiar condition just
now, but it improved in sympathy
with wheat. There is no doubt that
at one time the corn market was over
bought, speculation in that cereal on
the bull side being so general as to in.
clude many weak holders, and the
forced liquidation of such lines brought
prices to a lower level than they would
naturally have reached. The reports
made to Schwartz, Dupree & Co. by
reliable correspondents in the corn
belt are that in many cases there has
been injury to the crop by frost and
drouth, and that at present prices
farmers will not market their corn.
Provisions are still dull, with a de-
clining tendency, but when frosts shall
have killed the yellow fever in the
south prices must be better.

and passenger agents. There are al
50 telephone rooms, containing public
and private telephones. The upper
portions Of the partitions Of the vari-
GUS apartments are of beveled Clipped
glass, the beauty Of which adds to the
general effect.
At the rear of these ticket clerks
and passenger agents Offices and tele-
phone rooms there is passage lead
ing to the city freight Office of the
company, directly north Of the ticket
Office, which occupies the building at
2I0 Clark street. The freight Office is
fitted in the same style and with the
same degree of beauty as the ticket
office
Returning to the latter, in the rear
the passage way are additional
spaces for the passenger agents of the
road and in the rear of these is the
private Office of the city passenger and
ticket agent, furnished and finished
in the same way as the other Offices.
One feature of these Offices is an en-
tirely new departure in the way of
city ticket Offices. In the rear of the
city passenger and ticket agents
private Office large and COM
modious room has been reserved for
the use of outside patrons of the North
western Road who may be- visiting
Chicago. 1t is fitted up as reading
room and around the walls are hung
files of the leading newspapers of all
the important towns on the North
western system. This room is also
furnished with writing tables, station
cry and all the other little; conven-
fences which add to the comfort and
enjoyment of visitors. To this room
all patrons of the road, whether visit
ors in Chicago or residents of the city,
will always find a cordial welcome,
and there they will have an opportun-
ity of consulting greater number of
outside papers than is to be found
elsewhere. Adjoining the reading
room are handsomely furnished toilet
rooms which go to render the entire
arrangement complete. In fact, in
genuity and thoughtfulness seem to
have been exhausted in the arrange
ment and furnishings of these Offices.
Great attention has been paid to
the lighting. During the day flood
Of light pours in both from Clark and
Adams streets. As the days become
shorter and the evening shadows
throw their gloom over the scene the
earlier sunlight will be supplanted by
the rays of numerous clusters of cleo
trio incandescent lamps which have
been suspended from the ceilings and
arranged around the walls. The Of
fees will be kept as brilliant, as they
are beautiful. They will be maintain
ed in style which will give the Wis
itors to them from outside the city
something to talk about with enthus-
iasm after they return to their homes.

FINE TICKET OFFICE.
New Northwestern City Office In
Chicago.

The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way company has recently opened its
new city ticket Office in Chicago, which
the Chicago Post describes as being
the finest city ticket Office in the world.
The Offices are on the northwest
corner OF Clark and Adams streets.
On stepping into the Offices from the
sidewalk the intending passenger finds
himself in beautiful place, which
cannot fail to excite his admiration.
The walls of the apartments are hung
with beautiful oil paintings and en-
cravings of some of the gran1est seem
cry in the world, such as the great
geyser, known as "Old Faithful" the
great Kootenai canon, Pixies Peak as
viewed from Colorado Springs, Elk
Peak and other like scenes. Every
counter, desk, ticket case, chair, table,
partition, railing and other pieces of
furniture in the whole Office is of solid
mahogany, all being uniform in tint
and shade. Even the windows are
hung with folding mahogany blinds
of the same shade as the furniture.
The counters, partitions and ratings
have skirting one foot in width of
variegated marble of a very beautiful
type, which serves to heighten the
general effect materially.
There is counter space in the office for
about twenty ticket purchasers at the
same moment, and, should occasion
require it, that number of people could
be furnished with tickets at the same
minute. Running along the outer
wall of the Office outside the counter is
row of richly cushioned seats for the
accommodation of passengers who, in
case of great rush of business, cannot
be furnished with tickets as fast as
they enter. The shade of the uphol-
STEERING of these seats corresponds
with the color of the mahogany furni-
ture. There is seating room for al
least thirty-five persons, and should
this prove inadequate other mahogany
benches have been furnished in the
rear of the ticket clerks enclosure.
Behind the counter are the ticket
desks and cases. The general ticket
case is unusually large. It has space
for $50 different forms of coupon tick
cts, besides space for local tickets te
1870 different points on the company's
lines. Immediately to the left of this
general ticket case is another known
as the sleeping-car ticket case. Il
contains diagrams of the nineteen
through sleeping cars which leave
daily over the Northwestern lines fol
the Pacific coast and other points in
the north and northwest. At the far
Their end of the ticket counters are en-
closed apartments for the ticket clerks
