One of the best attractions coming

senting J. K. Tillotson's charming
comedy-drama, "a Young Wife, The
play was presented here last season
at higher prices and the public press

This year the company is stronger
than ever and the cast was only Sc
lected for their respective parts after
great care and consideration.
Mr.. Frank Tannehill, Jr., who heads
the company, is we'll known to the
theater-going public of ST. Paul. His
last engagement here was last season,
when he was playing the title role in
Broadhurst's comedy, ''Why Smith
Left Home" and in the spring he was
compelled to sever his connection with
the above named attraction, owing to
a previous engagement, to play the
part of Horace Greengage Dobbins, the
countryman from Vermont. This
part, SO we'll portrayed by Mr.. Tame

of his theatrical career, an opportunity
which he was quick to grasp, so much
so, that some of the best critics have
termed him young Jim Herne. D
The character of the Young Wife" is
in the hands of a charming young
actress, Miss Ethelyne Palmer, who

that may arise involving the rights of
the county or state and to act intelli-
gently on his own responsibility, in
stead OF having to employ special
legal advice. In word, Phil is sheriff
in every sense of the word.
Philip T. Megaarden was born in
Iowa, Oct. 2, 1854. He was the oldest
of seven children, and when his father
died in 1878, his studies we're inter-
rupted and upon his young shoulders
devolved the responsibility of support
ing the family. One of the first jobs
in Minneapolis was driving a wood
cart. He lived in the south part of
the city and has many. steadfast friends
in this part of the city, who have
watched his successful career through
the law school, his graduation and
political success with great interest.

Of Colored Women and also the State
Federation of Colored Women of the
State OF Michigan. The State Presi-
dent had invited Mrs. Lyles as one of
the National officers to present paper
on the question, els Race Prejudice on
the Increase or Decrease?" Mrs. Lyles
took the side that race prejudice was
on the increase, and scored a decided
hit by her able handling of the sub
ject. The proceedings of the cOnven-
ton we're published in the issue of this
paper September list, which contained
"a full account of the discussions and
of the business of that convention.
Among the commendable acts of the
convention, was to send memorial
to President Mckinley, asking the ap-
preparation of $40,000.00 to be made
the widow of the late Postmaster
Baker, who was .assassinated at Lake
City, South Carolina. Mrs. Lyles was
invited to spend the day with the
family of John Brown, Jr., at Put In
Bay. 1t was one of the most enjoyable
days spent by her on her entire trip.
Mrs. John Brown, Jr., is an estimable
old lady, and her daughter a most
charming woman, who left nothing I'M
done to make the visit of the National
officers pleasant and long to be re-
membered one. The spirit of their re-
nowned ancestor seemed to linger
round the place, especially in one room
where they have preserved the bullet
riddled clothes worn in the famous raid
of Harper's Ferry. !. b.

The sheriff of Hennepin county since
January, 1899, Philip T. Megaarden, is
conceded ito be one of the best officials
that ever held that important position.
That Mr.. Megaarden, or. .':Phil," as he
is Familiarity known, should be a can
didate for reelection is very natural,
as It is in harmony with political ethics
to lndorse a good official by giving
him a second term.
The sheriff's Office in Hennepin coun-
ry was never in better shape, and it's
business was never better in hand
than at present. The fact that every
thing soes on so smoothly here is due
largely to the personal supervision
given every detail in the Office by the
sheriff himself. He is found at his
desk every week day, unless called
away on official duty, and his Office
hours are not based on banking hours.
Besides being thoroughly familiar with
every department of the practical work
in this office, Mr.. Megaarden is an
