Pawnee BIZ Coming.

Pawnee Bill, scout, guide, ranger. chief
of the Pawnee tribe of Indians, officer
of the United States army and inciden-
tally president of the Arizona National
bank, and owner Of one of the biggest
tent shows in the world, will bring his
wild West show to st. Paul for four
performances Wednesday and Thursday
of this week; an afternoon performance
will be given at q clock each day, and
the evening exhibition will begin at s
sharp. The tents, win be pitched at the
old circus grounds, corner of Dale street
and University avenue. A grand street
parade will start from the show grounds
at 10 o'clock "Wednesday and Thursday
mornings
The Pawnee Bill Wild West show gives
a graphic representation of life i'll the
far West in the early days. as well as
exhibitions of rough riding by cowboys,
MeXicans. South American gauchos and
cavalry of all nations. A special feature
is a Juvenile wild West in which Indian,
Mexican, Arab and Cossack boys and
girls initiate the daring feats of their
elders, giving a liliputian show, with
diminutive bufros ard Shetland ponies.
The performance includes lively ex-
hibition of off-hand shooting with rifles
and revolyers by a number of crack
shots headed by May Little. the cham
pion woman deadshot Of the world.

ing another proof of his surprising yer-
satility. The swashbuckling air, the
good humored ,effrontery and the shreWd
bravery that are the chief characteris-
tics of d D'Artagnan were faithfully pre-
sented, not caricatured. by the player.
There are fewer rough edges about a
first night presentation Of a role by Mr..
Drouet than about that by any other
member of tine, company. He received
numerous curtain calls last evening.
Scant courtesy is paid in 1.-THE Three
Musketeers" to the character of Rich
elieu. Whatever the great cardinals
faults he was Snota a, cringing trickster
but this is what the playwright has
made him. Victor de Silke gave a very
fair presentation of the character last
evening. Occasionally he dropped the
role and was just Mr.. Silke, but on the
whole his portrayal was satisfactory.
Harry Burkhardts5 as Louis III. and
George Irving as the Duke of Bucking-
ham played well the minor roles in
trusted to them, AS Athos, one of the
three musketeeTs, Mr.. Irving was also
satisfactory. Willard Hutchinson as
Aremis. another of the musketeers,
made the most of the single opportunity
his role afforded him to show his ability
as a player. Robert Folsom was excel
lent as PorthoS
The women were decidedly in the
D1NA6AO0l4O lc~oI CNOlllH5J GLlO SId6S OSIll5
given over almost entirely to the men,.
Miss Countiss as Anne of Austria
played the part with dignity. The only
thing that marred her presentation of
the character of the queen was slight
unreadiness with her lines, noticeable, es-
pecially, in the first act. Miss Buckley
was a charming Constance. She has
played with finish and spirit the rather
small parts heretofore assigned her in
the plays presented by the stock COM
pany and her appearance in something
more ambitious cannot fail to raise
pleasurable expectations, Kate Jackson
was satisfactory as Lady de Winter, but
this actress appears to better advantage
in character roles.
Brock Beckwith, a. st. Paul man,
played last night the part of De Tre-
vile. He filed the rather small role ac-
ceptably. Mr.. Beckwith has a fine voice,
good presence and plenty of intelli-
gence, surely enough good points to win
him success.

about the boundaries of the forbidden ter

takes his claim and keeps it only long
enough to sell it to a less forehanded set

and starts for another field.
The territory of Oklahoma is the scene
of a gathering of some 10000 people

privations of famine rather than give up

the opening of Oklahoma and the Cher

Not because the would-be settlers are

of a rule of the interior department
which will make a race for any particu-
lar land unnecessary. Those making ap-
plication for lands in these reservations
are given a number. AT the opening day
the land Office draws by lot these num-
bers and the holders are given the priv

means the quarrels between squatters
will be wholly avoided and the race will

AN EVIL AND IT'S REMEpy

A subject which is growing daily in
public interest is the wisdom and neces-
sity of establishing uniform state laws.
Many efforts have been put forward to
bring about this result, and the move
ment still continues. It assumes two
fold form. The National Divorce Reform
League concerns itself entirely in bring
ing about uniformity in divorce legisla-
ton in the several states; while on the
other hand, there is the National Confer
ence of Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws. This latter body is made up of
commissioners appointed in the different
states and organizing themselves into a
national body for the advancement of
the principle of uniform laws. They are
usually appointed for five years, with au-
thority to confer with like commissioners
appointed from other states, and to rec
ommend forms of measures intended to
bring about uniformity in the execution
and proof of deeds and wills, and in the
laws relating to bills and notes, marri-
age and divorce and other such subjects
where uniformity seems desirable and
practicable.
1t cannot be said that much advance
ment has been made in the direction in
dicated thus far; and the suggestion is
being heard very generally that the
movement should take into serious con-.
sideration the plan of appealing to con-
gress. so as to get constitutional
amendment which would facilitate the re-
form sought.
The time has apparently come when the

PREVENTIVES OF ALCOHOLISM.

American Medicine.
In discussing the best means of pre-
venting alcoholism at the recent anti
alcohol congress at Vienna DR. Burtsch-
er, of Berne, laid great stress on the
Importance of an abundant, inexpensive
food supply for the poorer classes. He
stated that the consumption of liquors
is most prevalent and the effect worst
among the most poorly nourished people
of Europe. The excessive use Of alcohol
is not so frequently the cause of poorly
developed and nourished bodies, as Is
imperfect nourishment the cause Of an
abnormal craving for liquors. The ef-
fects of alcohol are also decidedly worse
among the badly nourisned. Drunken
ness, delirium tremens and mental dis
eases are uncommon among the we'll
nourished people of Germany as COM
pared with the condition among the bad
ly nourisned Poles and Irish. Temper
ance societies, tracts, cures and institu-
tions for the treatment of drunkenness
will all Trove of little avail as long as
the poor are unable to obtain food to
nourish themselves sufficiently well to
prevent abnormal craving for stimulants.
The shortsighted policy of the Agrarian
party in striving to prevent the inn
The Saint Paul globe., 1901-06-24

idea of investing the general government
with control over matters of purely do
mestic concern to the citizens of the sew
eral states is to be seriously regarded.
The tendency Of our times is running
strongly in that direction, and the efforts
| of those who would maintain at all haz-
ards the autonomy of the several states
in all that relates to the immediate in
! terests Of their people have become ma
| terially weakened. For almost every diff
fculty arising out of the diversity of So
| states the remedy is heard of an amend
| ment to the federal constitution. In the
matter of divorce alone, the best judges
of the evils growing out of the chaotic
condition of our state divorce laws in
sist that no substantial advancement can
be made until the plan of reform through
the federal authority is seriously consid-
cred.
In. spite of all that is advanced in this
direction, more conservative public opin-
ion will be found insisting that no re-
course shall be had in matters of purely
state domestic concern to the
federal power The suggestion of
such action must be based on
an entire disregard of a fundamental
principle in American constitutional gov
ernment. The wisdom of suffering the
ills we have rather than flying to those
that we know not of may well be in
voked in connection with the prevailing
tendency to rush to congress for relief in
such cases.
The need of uniformity in certain lines
of state legislation is universally recog-
nized. But all that can be done in that
behalf for many years to come, and, in
fected through the action of the several
states If all the states could unite in
the appointing of commissions on uni
formity in legislation the worst evils
complained of might be remedied. The
last conference held of such bodies had
representatives from the states of Cali
fornia, Connecticut. Florida, Georgia,
Maine, Maryland, New York New Jersey,
Indiana, Rhode Island, Virginia and Illi-
nois. Thirty state in all and two terri
tories have established such commissions,
although under such laws in some cases
appointments have not been made or
have lapsed.
Encouragement should be given to this
movement of the appointment Of uni
form law commissions. In the direction
of commercial and criminal law and in
the regulation of marriage and divorce
the greatest good could be accomplished.
Indeed much good has already been done
in securing uniformity In laws relating
to negotiable instruments through the de-
liberations Of the commissioners now
acting under state laws.
If those who are convinced of the neces-
sity Of reform in the laws of marriage
and divorce would unite in securing the
appointment Of commissioners in those
states in which there are none, it would
not be long until substantial results
would be produced. Minnesota is not
among the states which has such COM
missiOners. Until we take our place in
the movement there can be no reasonable
| expectation of an intelligent or at all adj
equate remedy for the recognized evils oi
our divorce system.

1t is an amusing, as well as an in
geniOus, view of the third term matter
which Senator Depew presents in his
communication 20 his associate third
termer Gen. Grosvenor.
Why not twelve years IS well as eight,
for the duration of the residential term?
Are people as intelligent and devoted
to liberty as are the American people to
be scared off by such a bogey? And
again: Suppose that there arose such
condition of affairs as that finding an
other Abraham Lincoln in the White
in office for a third term what folly it
would be to cast him aside?
These are the specious arguments
which will always be advanced by the
most skillfuI of the adherents of the third
term. They are in spirit and principle
the arguments most frequently heard in
sustainment Of the new Imperialism.
They appeal to intelligent men when any
suggestion of force or pressing necessity
would arouse their fears and sus-
picions
When Gen. Grant was being put for
ward for third term by ConkIing and
his followers he was known to have
previously written letter in which he
declared that he had taken a first term
Unwillingly and the second term still
more unwillingly while a third term he
regarded with utter aversion. This
avowal did not deter his friends. Neither
did 1t occasion any declaration of hos
tnity on his part while his political for
tunes hung in the balance in the nomi-
hating convention.
Senator Depew knows that the third
term business is far from ended, even
for the present. The letter Of the presi-
dent may operate to deter the more faint
hearted of the administration politicians.
But may there not be found men
strong enough among his admirers to
overcome his scruples expressed or enter
tanned? Is ne a man of as great caliber
as Grant? Is there anything in his career
from the period when he permitted
Hanna and the others to pay his debts
and relieve him from bankruptcy, to his
reputation Of his own sentiments re-
garding the Philippines and Porto Rico,
to lead anyone to believe that he cannot
be diverted from any opinion or purpose
Of his own?
What is there to prevent those among
his trust keepers who have control of
the imperiarst press from inaugurating
a campaign of Iaudation which will i'm
pose him on the unsuspecting adherents
of his own party as another Lincoln,
and calling into existence such conditions
as Will lead good men to believe that
there is a vital need that he be renomi-
mated?
1t is all very well to laugh at or with
Senator Depew. His capacity 10 crack a
joke has caused him of late years to be
taken less seriously than a man of his
grand attainments and notable achieve
ments should be taken. In his third term
business he remains the only courageous
and consistent imperialist of them all,
and it will be queer if his reward is not
forthcoming, long before che expiration of
the next three years in the general ac-
ceptanCe Of his views by the responsible
leadership of the imperialists.

as much part Of the French Louis

1T may occasion the parties Immediately
interested some surprise that the world
has moved right along without a jar
even with the master and jOurneymen

which the general public may be said
to entertain over the situation comes
from the failure thus far of the two

them could do the more foolish and
brutal things to win the fight.
