tai habit of confounding the two cities
st. Paul and Minneapolis, will confess
to having written st. Paul when
should have said Minneapolis in the let
ter which you published Friday morning
relative to drawing; though the lettel
from which the facts were taken Is dis
tinctly dated from the latter place. The
figures furnished for this city Cdinne

generous than for st. Paul, being $4,000
which Is nevertheless several Thousand
dollars too little, as reference to my
previous communication will show.

Here's good luck! 1.-THE Heart of
Maryland" and Captain Impudence"
both in one week, and that week this
week, The first ranks with Secret
Service" as one of the two most con-
spicuous successes of last season, and
the second is by many considered their
equal. Three performances of each

Cupid is still at the old stand. If any
doubt it let him take minute to ex-
anime the windows of the news dealers
and stationers, and he will see at a
glance enough to convince him of his

never have been able to catch any one
purchasing one of these creations, any
more than we have been able to dis
cover who pays the biggest annual fine
for overdue books at the library. There
have been times when we fancied that
we might aspire to this aforementioned
dignity, but the celluloid valentine is a
horse of another color, although almost
as expensive to support.
