The inquiry revealed the fact that the Portu-
guese do not come from Portugal but from the
Azores chiefly from the islands of St. Michael
St Mary and st. George. and that they have
been coming to the United States at the rate of
about twelve hundred to fifteen hundred a year
for many years. The arrivals in 1899 numbered
1SS7. and the amount Of money brought into the
country by these immigrants was 81 $40 In
February of this year 179 Portuguese
landed at this port, and the net amount of
money brought by them S199. But although
their store Of ready cash may be small they
considered among the good" immigrants and
give the inspectors little trouble. They
are known to be good, quiet and clean and five
hundred will make less noise than fifty Italians
and will give the officials less trouble than fifty
Russians. These people have prosperous set

Opening day June 80 to Sunday,
July 9Th, inclusive, G. J. Ireland, tenor
and whistler; F. w. Farmer, tenor; w.
b. Rose, Baritone; D. q. T1uesdale,
basso.
1t has been the aim of the quartet to
render music of the highest grade in
manner to captivate the most critical,
and please the popular taste as we'll.
Their success has been due quite
largely to their persistent efforts along
this line, coupled with natural ability
and careful training.
Pittsburg (Kansas) Daily Tribune:
Rounds of applause followed each
selection rendered by the Wesleyan
Quartet at the opera house last night.
The harmony in every one of the
selections was so perfect that the most
sensitive ear could not detect dis
cord. The solos were beautifully
rendered and fully merited the encores
which they received.
Opinions: George Ireland gave q
whistling solo, with guitar accompani-
ment, and was enthusiastically re-
called. His whistler is under perfect
control, and in common parlance, he
can be termed 'sbird.' He has a.
sweet tenor voice, and can raise it as
high as a church steeple, and draw it
out as fine as a cambria needle.-Crete

DEDICATION
Of the Auditorium-The Colossal Thes.
plan Temple at the North Dakota
Chautauqua, Devils Lake, to
be Grandly Dedicated.

The management of the North Da-
kota Chautauqua has just completed
the largest building in the state de-
voted exclusively to amusements. The
mammoth auditorium on the grounds at
Devils Lake will seat over 5000 people,
with a stage twice as large as any
other in the state. The cost of the
building has run into thousands, and
to help meet a portion of this vast
outlay the management decided to
open the magnificent building, in ad-
vance of the Chautauqua session, by a
performance in keeping with the
structure. After searching the amuse-
ment realm for months for an attrac.
ton, one was selected as positively the
greatest to be had.
The Manning School of Music,
Oratory, Dramatic Art, Language and
Dancing, of Minneapolis, has graduated
large percentage Of the leading
people in these branches now before
the public. The graduates this wear
consist of 45 charming young ladies,
any one of whom is capable Of taking
q star part in any performance. At
an expense of over $1,000 these play
els have been secured to give two
poIAO1 moHCoo VI Consequences &r0dG
comedy. midsummer Nights Dream
in the auditorium on Thursday and
Friday evenings, June 18th and 10Th.
They bring with them q carload of
special scenery and magnificent cos
tunes, and the production, by this all
star cast, will be the greatest ever
witnessed in the Northwest.
Besides the comedy Of sMidsummer
Nights Dream there will be musical,
character representations and dancing
specialties by individual members Of
the company who are artists in these
lines. No such aggregation Of beauty,
refinement and brilliant talent ever
assembled before on any stage, and
unquestionably the people OF this
state will never again be given an op.
portunity to witness q performance
that will equal it.
