Noltaire, Preville and Mail. At that
tlme the theaters We're not classed with
the Grand opera which received its
support from the former by an annual
tax of one-third Of their gross receipts.
The green room was then held sacred ~
the theatrical stage and its privacy was
denied the throngs OF chorus singers Of
the grand opera.
As the time aged and customs
changed, the green room lost much Of
its privacy. The chamber which for
ages was alone graced by actors of
merit for in those days the term actor
was more synonymous with that of
genius, has been thrown open to young
er and less talented professionals. who
have taken 10 the stage more for live
lihood or for sensational experience,
than To contribute their ability as n
sacrifice at the feet Of appreciative au-
diences. Where Booth and jefferson
once sat in great dignity. awaited by an
audience half-crazed with anticipation,
soubrettes now make merry with friVol-
Gus gayety; where the mirrors once re-
hected profiles of characters made fa-
nous by great artists. a chorus of
rouged and Sinking chorus girls are
prinking To please an audience OF
youthful admirers. and the walls which
drowned from the world the best say
iEgs of the worlds keenest wits and ma
lures own prodigies. now deaden the
efeminate chatter and giggling nonen-
titles OF insipid mediocracy.
Stil1 II is the green room, and prob
ably ever will be. unless. perchance,
popular fancy favors some other and
more fashionable hue with which to
decorate its walls. 1t has served its
purpose long and we'll: it has outlived
in public approval it's sister fads and
has won for itself an enviable reputation
among ancient usages. 1t is with regret
that the profession may witness its
doors opened to public after theater re-
ceptions. That such should come to
pass is pity. But as the stage and its
mysteries become more and more assoc
ciated with the world at large as it's
privileges are extended To such as lee
turers, public speakers and to political
agitators, it's publicity must be shared
by the green room and it's functions will
necessarily become altered.

Joseph Wolff of Getty, has sold his

the Goth year of his age.
Deceased was we'll known in this
community he having lived either near
or in the city for seventeen years. He
was an excellent farmer, and until his

a farm on the Melro5e road, about

soon exchanged. After the war he
came to Miunes ota, settling at Madelia.
Seventeen years ago he came to Sank

indicated. He has been in i'll health

Something to know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
me icine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try it. Sold ior SOC or S1.OO per bot

ThcJuliaM MARROW
The School Election.

Contrary to usual custom a very
large vote was polled at the annual
school district election to select two
directors, the terms of Office of Lucas
Kells and DR.. E. J. Lewis having ex-
pired. There was considerable inter-
est, amounting almost to excitement
in the contest which proved to be tri-
lateral. The candidates were Messrs.
Kells, Lewis aud L. r. Barto. It be-
came evident early in the day that a
large vote would be polled, and fully
a hundred ladies availed themselves
of the privilege accorded them by law,
and deposited their ballots. To many
it was novel experience. There were
AL ballots cast with the following re-
suit:
Lucas Ke1ls. 1882
L. II. BartO. .l4O
E. j. Lewis .221
There were half-dozen scattering
votes. It will be seen that Messrs.
Kells and Barto were elected. The
former has been on the board for eigh-
teen years, and it is the first term for
the latter. DR.. Lewis has been on the
board one term of three years, and
has been very efficient and faithful
member, contributing a great deal of
time detail work and it is to be regret
ted that he failed of reelection. How
ever, Mr.. Barto will be a reliable
member of the board. He is a strong,
and active citizen, and
has deep interest in the welfare of the
schools.
