TWO EARLY EXPLORERS
WARREN UPHAM WILL TALK OF
RADIsSON AND GROSSEILLIERs.

The Minnesota Historical society will
hold meeting at the state capitol on
Monday, March 10. After a meeting of
the executive council Secretary Warren
Upham will present a paper on the Sec
ond expedition of GrosSeilliers and Rad
isson to Minnesota in 1659-60, continual
ton Of the paper he read at the last
meeting in which he treated of their
western expedition.
In this second expedition these eXplor-
ers and traders passed along the south
shore of Lake Superior to Chequamegon
bay, and thence went south and west
into Wisconsin and Minnesota The To-
calities of their starvation and the later
great feast and council with the Sioux
are thought to have been near Knife
lake in Kanabec county, Minnesota. In
their ensuing journey to the Prairie
Sioux they probably passed the sites Of
Minneapolis and ST. Paul. After return
ing to Chequamegon bay they crossed
the west end of Lake Superior to it's
north shore.
Mr.. Upham feels very certain that on
their return from their visit to the Prai-
RE Sioux, on their northern expedition.
they camped one night in the vicinity OF
the st. Paul union depot He has made
a careful and exhaustive study of the
subject and will present a number of new
points during his discussion on Monday
evening.

CHURCH AND STAGE
FREDERICK WARDE SAYS TH1EY
SHOULD STAND To-
GETHER
OLD PREJUDICE FADING AWAY
Church, School and Stage the Great
Trinity of EducatiOn--WOrl6
If Actors CAurch
Alliance.

No actor on the American stage has
ever taken a greater interest in mat
ters outside his profession than Fred
er1ck Warde, who in addition to beng
an actor Of great ability is renowned as
a ShakSperian student and as an ora
tor and lecturer. Mr. Warde has always
been prominently identified with move
ments looking toward the elevation Of
the stage, and the better feeling between
the public and the theater, a truer I'M
Outstanding Of the position the stage
occupies toward the public. Mr. Warde
believes thoroughly in his profession.
He is the Vice-president Of the Actors
Church alliance, of which Bishop Potter
of New York, is president
The Actors alliance was originated ny
Walter Bentley, who was formerly a
member of Mr.. Warde's company. The
object of the organization is to bring
the actors and actresses into closer touch
with the church. Another object Ct the
alliance is to abolish Sunday theatrical
performances. Mr. Wardes plan fer
stopping Sunday performances is for the
public to refuse to attend. Just as .OIg
as they are remunerative to the nan.
ayers they will continue them, but as
as soon as they are made Of no value
TO the managers pocketboOk just that
minute they will be discontinued
In speaking of the actor and his art
Mr.. Warde says:
Look at me as an average actor. for
tnat IS what l am We are simply d
class Of human beings in the pursuit
OF our profession. 1t is our livelihood
our art, our ambition to portray the
lessons of life in comprehensive way
We are travelling, strolling people
We are human and suffer the
same as anyone else and have the same
enjoyments We get into a town and
through this great work of ours we are
welcomed and taken by the hand by
broad-minded sympathetic preachers. I
believe that there should be a great
trinity, the combined church, school
and! the stage. for they are each ele-
waiting, educational and Of moral pur-
pose. Our coat of arms, if | may use
that term in this republic Of ours, is a
Bible with a volume of Shakspere rest
ing on it and the whole surmOunted by
the cross of our Saviour. AS l travel
over this great continent from ocean to
ocean, from frontier to frontier, l see
the actors and their companion actresses
becoming more acquainted with each
other. l see the prejudice between the
church and the stage fading away. That
is our great object. This useless preju-
dice has existed for ages and is being
wiped out. Our alliance is non-sectarian
and embraces all creeds. We are in a
great work and we only want to be rec
ognized by the public as we are
