COLUMBIA THEATER- readiness
with which Washington patronizes my
theatrical entertainment which offers rea-
onstrated at the Columbia Theater last
night. when Mr.. Stuart Robson produced
his new play, The Meddler." The original
production of this latest product of Mr.
Augustus Thomas pen failed to secure the
commendation Of lead pencil and types on
Its initial production in New York. and
there are, assuming a somewhat altitudi-
nous point of view, grounds for questioning
its right to rank as a masterpiece But the
public, so often stern taskmaster, can at
times be sweet consoer. Last night it
filled the theater to the standing room lin
1t and bestowed applause with such lavish
ness to preclude suspicion of disap-
pointment for the faith which 1t had in
in Mr.. Thomas abilities as a play writer.
And the satisfaction which the audience
displayed was the more noteworthy because
the appeal was rather to its intelligence
than to its sense of the purely ludicro Is.
Mr.. Thomas has apparently been indulg:ng
In the somewhat dangerous (for a modern
farce writeo pursuit of reading up the old
English plays. The Meddler'' has much OF
the atmosphere of Wycherly and Congreve,
with of course, none of their lapses into
extreme grossness. The program, which
acknowledges Indebtedness to New York
firms for Miss Burroughs gowns and the
scenery, might have gone farther and
stated that the style is from the earlier
Anglo-Saxon literature and the moral tenn
pera ament from France.
II Is a curious blending of the serious and
the frivolous, for, while the chaos of rep
utations which the meddler Inadvertently
ture of Gallic life with plain, progressive
euchre-playing people, such as Mr.. Thomas
introduces. IL came very near causing gem
uine apprehension. This feeling is largely

BARRIERS EXAMINATION.
Ten Applicants for Certificates Appear
Before the Board.

The BARRIERS state board of examin.
ers met in this city Wednesday and
considered the applications of ten per-
sons for certificates of registration to
practice the tonsorial art in Mime
sofa. The board is composed Of j. V.
Matthews, of Fergus Falls, president;
M. E. Murray, of st. Paul, secretary;
and P. J. Sauer, Of Minneapolis,
treasurer. The board concluded its
work today and will be at Winona
tomorrow and Friday.
The examination was held at the
fireman's hall, where two BARRIERS
chairs were placed, and where the
following applicants were examined:
Lewis @. Schwarz, Mankato; Robert
Hardy, Edgerton; M. f. Randall,
Amboy: James Fl. Fay, Mountain
Lake; f. H. Stokes, Austin; David
V. Dawson, SlaytOn; David S. Walter,

VIM. G. Stepp, Fairmont; Chas. O..
Meyer, st. James. The candidates
were required to do some practical
work to show their skill, and were
put through a series of questions as TIC
diseases of the scalp and skin and
how to prevent them.
Mr.. Murray stated that Mankato is
the only city inthe state where any
BARRIERS are making trouble for the
board. Elsewhere all cheerfully
comply with the law and see that
others do so. He had talk with
County Attorney Hughes in regard
to the slowness of the party who was
convicted of doing business without a
license, in paying his fine. Mr..
Hughes promised to enforce the

WHEEL STOLEN.

Miss Deem had the misfortune to
have her Victor bicycle stolen Mon
day night from Mr.. Morehart's yard,
on Byron street. The wheel is SO
easily detected that it seems rather
odd that any one would make so bold
as to steal it, and because of its pc
culiar description it is not improb-
able that Miss Deem may yet recover
it. The wheel has single drop
frame, large goose neck saddle, red
double tube tire with trap door open
ing in the rim on front wheel, Hart
ford tire on rear wheel with trap
door opening plugged with wood.
Frame number 9599S.
The wheel is a good one costing a
hundred dollars less than two years
ago. Anyone knowing where it can
be found, or who will deliver 1T at
this office or to Miss Deem, will be
literally rewarded.

of Havana by force of 400 American
soldiers, who almost Immediately

as an index of what is to follow: 1t is

latter.

The editor of the Free Press as
sumed the duties of postmaster Tues
day morning and will give his best en-
deavors to serve the public in every
particular to the best of his ability.
The only change made in the clerical
force of the office is in the chief clerk
ship-Mr. A. J. Veigel succeeding Mr..
G E. Wise.
1t is a pleasure to US to hear testi-
mony to the excellence of the retiring
postmaster's administration, and
especially to the many courtesies ex-
tended the incoming official. No item
of information or detail has been
withheld, while on the contrary every
thing pertaining to the affairs OF the
office have been most freely given and
are hereby gratefully acknowledge. Mr..
Wise retires from his public duties
with such a record for competency
and promptness as leaves no room for
criticism but much reason for COM
mendation and congratulation on the
part of the public.
In Mr. G. E. Wise, who has occu-
pied the position of chief clerk during
the past four years, the Office has been
most fortunate. Mr.. w. is an ex-
ceptionally competent gentlemen, and
to his faithful attention to duty and
clear conception of postal matters, is
no small need of credit due for the
splendid conduct of the affairs of the
Office. His painstaking and valuable
assistance'kin turning the office over
to the new incumbent is truly appre-
ciated.
1t is not the expectation of the new
postmaster that he will please every
body. That would be impossible. He
will do his beststo this end, and be
content if he shall succeed as well as
has his predecessor.

A delegation from Shelby appeared
before the board this afternoon and OPP
posed the raising of Jackson Lake, on
the ground that by raising the lake the
surroundings would be more unhealthy,
and because a good deal of valuable
land would be flooded. Owing to the
level country, raise of three or foul
feet would spread the lake out con
siderably.

CAUGHT A SPANIARD.
Attempt to Capture Refreshments at High
School Reception Fails.

The reception given the members
of the high school graduating class
by the faculty of theschool at the bullo
ing Tuesday evening was very pleas
ant affair. The reception was held in
the main hallway, which was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion.
About fifty persons were present, In
Guiding several public school teachers
and two members Of the school board.
A number Of excellent musical select
ions were rendered, including a solo
by Mrs. II. l. Parry, and mandolin
and guitar selections by Miss Stevens
and others. Ice cream and cake were
served, The affair was greatly ENJOY
ed by all present.
An incident occurred which caused
considerable excitement for a few
moments. A crowd Of young men
was detected under one of the south
windows, with ladder placed against
the wall and leading to a window or a
recitation room on the second floor
where the refreshments were being
kept, The gang was evidently in
tending to make way with the re-
freshments, as one of the party had
climbed the ladder and reached the
window when the discovery Of the
plot was made. Prof. Leyenburger
then ran out and pulled down the
ladder, leaving the young fellow Sit
ting on the window sill twenty feet
above the ground. The teachers on
the inside quickly captured the
young man, who was held until Officer
Kelley could be summoned, and was
then turned over to him. While the
prisoner was being taken down stairs
through the.reception room, he was
assailed with derisive remarks about
being Spaniard, and looked very
sheepish at the publicity of his at
tempt to capture the eatables. His
companions had taken to their heels
when Prof. Leyenberger appeared.
