AT THE GRAND.

The tmpulsfveness OF a woman and an
old combination Of circumstances tangle
up half score Of people in John G..
Grieg's society farce, "A Social Cob
web" which was presented last evening
at the Grand by the Valentine stock
company. The play is a rather Frenchy
little affair that depends for It's success
upon quick action and an entire readi-
ness OF the players with their lines I'm
fortunately the members of the company
last evening were woefully at sea to
what should be said next and for that
reason the play dragged. This unreadi-
ness with their lines, however, was the
only thing that prevented the play from
being as well presented as any the VAL
entine stock company has staged during
Its successful engagement in St. Paul.
Miss Meta Maynard as Mrs. Della Voc
disch had a rather trying part as the
hysterieal girl who passes herself off as
q married woman, but she filled 1t most
acceptably. Jack Webster was Capt.
Harry Voedisch. If this young actor
would rely less on handsome and i'm
posing stage presence and devote him
self more closely to the real business Of
acting, his success would certainly re-
pay the effort. Miss Beulah Watson was
a very pretty Maggie Arundel, and she
read her lines more spiritedly last even
ing than any other member Of the COM
pany with the possible exception Of Mr..
Evans, whose work is always careful
Last evening Mr.. Evans was the clergy
man, Rev Clarence Wolf, and his make
up was excellent. Miss Mary Taylor,
who seems fated to bury her attractive
ness in elderly roles, was regal looking
as Lady Arundel. Edmund Witty was
very good as Lieut. George Arundel, as
was also E. w. Morrison as Jack Phil
lips. 1t was something of disappoint-
ant IN In {ha hot
neither of the Blancke girls have roles
in this, the farewell play of the company
"a Social Cobweb" will be presented to-
night and tomorrow night with t. g usna
Saturday matinee.
The sale Of seats is now in progress
at the Grand for the performance next
Sunday night, which will inaugurate
the regular fall and winter season IA
Wise Guy" the clever farcical produo-
ton selected to open the Grand season,
Is said to be the most laughable Of far
c4cal creations.

The chances at the present time, how
ever, seem to favor Peter Van Hoven for
the nomination for sheriff on the Demo-

ton VIII undoubtedly be between Van
Hoyen and Murphy, and, as both men are
claiming the plum, 1t is likely to be any
body's nomination until the votes are
counted in the convention.

A STEADY FLOW OF MONEY.

For every average minute that passes
during year some widow somewhere in
the United States is receiving over $3.50
life insurance money, this being the aver
age payment sixty times an hour of the
regular companies In death losses alone.
The dividend payments to living policy
holders, which either cut down the cost
to them Of the insurance or increase
the amount Of indemnity they have in
force, are not included in this disburse-
ment. Neither are the endowment pay
ments Of those who have themselves lived
out the term Of their policies and re-
ceived the full sums agreed upon. The
payment of this $3.50 minute and more
or over $50, O0o, 900 a year, is ali OF 1t money
that goes straight to mems families after
the death Of the former, and when the
ability to further provide has ended for

thought appropriate to the subject of i'm

THE use of labor saving machin-

conditions make it necessary to
transport to those centers all raw
material and all food supplies and
fuel not only for the industrial ar

classes which administer to their
