John s. Robertson.

John s. Robertson, at the head Of
the wholesale commission house Of 3.
Presley & Co., who died so unexpect-
edly day before yesterday, was man
st. Paul could not afford to lose He
was only forty-seven years old, ap-
parently possessed of much vitality,
but, in fact. long and quiet sufferer
from a deadly disease Capt" Rob-
ertson. by which title he was known,
was a broad-minded, thoughtful,
though modest citizen. He was pos
sessed of practical mind; ne could
quickly grasp the honest, business end
of every question coming before him.
He was a man who, under encourag-
ing conditions, might easily have found
himself in the front ranks of citizen
ship, but who never sought to put
himself forward at the expense of any
one else. His views were always
tersely expressed, and convinced the
listener to his little talks on business
matters Of interest to the city that he
was possessed of singular reserve force,
which, If an invitation had been ex-
tended to bring it forth, would have
proved OIL muCQ general. advantage TO
the community.
1t is unfortunate, in certain sense,
that many men of the type which
Capt. Robertson represented, and who
are at the present moment active in
business here, are not more readily
afforded an opp ortunity to be heard
on questions pertaining to our COM
mercial and municipal progress. Voices
that are dumb under the pal. of death
sometimes speak with greater empha-
sis to the representatives of the gen.
erations succeeding them through the
simple realization by their survivors
of the fact that they can no longer
have an oral audience on earth. Why
should not some of the able contem-
poraries Of Capt Robertson, in his
brief lifetime, recognizing now his
merits as a citizen of the past, take
heart and speak out and labor in the
interest Of this beautiful and impor-
tant center? 1t implies a sense OF
sadness to say farewell to so kindly a
spirit as that possessed by Capt Rob-
ertson and so genial and sensible a
man.

Miss Truax achieved another artistic tri-
umph last night, in which her support had
a part, in 1.-THE Lady Of Lyons" Final cur
tain calls are not often bestowed at the
Grand but that was added to the calls which
followed on every curtain.
Miss Truax was seen once before in Pauline
in st. Paul. 1t was couple Of years ago,
when the play was given at a matinee by
Otis Skinner. At that time the finish with
which she played the part made such an
impression that 1t had its effect last night
in filling the Grand. She has improved in
her art in these two years, and the perform
ance She gave last night was beautifully
even.
The Claude Melnotte of Mr.. Weston was as
clever a bit of romantic acting as one could
wish to see. MIR. Post was an excellent Beau
champ, and Mr.. Bassett gave a very clever
performance of Dumas. Carrie Clarke Warde,
who made her first appearance with the com.
pany, made a very good impression by her
owrk in the part of the Widow Melnotte.
The play was very handsomely put on, It
was quite production in setting, and 1t was
beautifully costumed. The same II for the

There are several paragraphs in the Min

S. A. E. club, Of this CITY, and concerning
which Jerry j. would have the world at
large and the people Of Minnesota in partic-
ular, to understand that he knows all about
the "Anti-Eustis Old Soldiers Brigade Of
Hennepin County," Perhaps he does, and
again perhaps he doesn't. am very sure Of
one thing, and that is that he doesn't know
little bit about it. He would like, and so
would William Henry like, to have the peo-
pie of the state think the disaffection Of the
veteran" element will cut no figure in the
coming campaign and the vote in November.
All right. Let them think SO If they will.
We know what we are doing They do not.
The time Is not ripe Just yet for them to
know, and Jerry j. though he may be a
very shrewd man, and no doubt he is. at
least in his own estimation, in this
does not know what he Is talking about. AL
though, according to William Henry, we
"have lived beyond our usefulness" it seems
William Henry would like very much to have
the votes Of the "od soldiers with all the
other votes that will be carried by their
friends, to help swell the count In November
in Hennepin county and throughout the state

The first in series of trial heats to de-

will represent the White Bear Yacht club
in the with Hoodlum. the Boston boat,
was sa led yesterday afternoon on White
Bear lake in a very light wind. Three short
races of three knots each were sailed and the
result was a decided surprise to White Bear
sailors. Aureia, last years winner in the
cat class, took the best two out of three of
the events, and in consequence her stock
went up several points. Several races be-
tween Akela and Aurela will be sailed
through the day today and again tomorrow
morning. The judges expect to be able to
announce their decision tomorrow afternoon.
Hoodlum made her appearance on the lake
yesterday and she behaved admirably. She
carries considerably more canvas than the
Akela and about the same as the Aurelia,
and Is undenlsbly a very speedy yacht.
There some who think that Aurel.a will
after all. be selected to represent the club.
AS an argument for this they say she carries
about the same canvas the HoodIum and
demonstrated yesterday that her qualities as
a light weather boat were equal to any ever
