TRAGEDIES UPON THE STAGE
Players Who Have Met Death at the
FootIiehts.

FootIiehts.
Chicago Tribune.-It is not often
that real tragedy, in the way of actual
death, takes place on the stage, yet
there have been some particularly
pathetic cases, just now brought more
forcibly to mind by the tragic taking
off of young actress at the Lyceum
theater in Birmingham. who, last
week, as she went on the stage to sing

In looking over stage history it is
found that the first instance on record
of death actually upon the stage oc-
CARED in 1885, when an actor named
William Bond, who took the part of
Lusignan in VoItaire's Zaire, expired
in full view of the audience. His act
ing of the old Christian was suberb,
and in the second act. on discovering
his long-Iost children. he tainted away.
The audience, thinking it to be a mag
nificent piece of acting, redoubled their
applause and the house rang with
cries of Bravo! Bravo!" He re-
manned in that state so long. however,
that both actors and spectators be-
came uneasy. He was raised from
the floor and with some difficulty ut
tered the next lines of his part. which.
prophetically it would seem. CHANGED

n now takes over 100 concerns to trans
act the immense business in agricultural
implements done by Minneapolis. This
city not only holds her place as one of
the biggest jobbing centers for farm i'm
plements In the world, but is gradually
narrowing the margin by which Kansas
City has laid claim to leadership in i'm
plement sales. Conseravtively estimated,
Minneapolis sales of farm implements
and machinery will reach S30.00O.000 this
yean In the past two years there has
been an increase of 20 per cent in the
number of implement concerns doing bust
ness from this market.
This big trade can be divided into three
classes; that done by the Minneapolis
manufacturer, by the branch agencies To-
Gated here, and by the regular implement
jobbers.

shipping companies represented here
which do a wholesale business throughout
the northwest and a retail business In.
Minneapolis These companies own big
docks at the head ofSthe lakes, Gladstone,
Manitowoc, Ashland and other lake ports.
The increase in the demand for coal.
which of course represents nearly all of
the fuel traffic, has, been parallel with the
growth OF population in the northwest.
There was a time when $4,000 tons han
died through Minneapolis general agen-
cies was considered a phenomenal trade.
The traffic now amounts to oseveral mill
lion tons. Some of this is shipped direct
from the docks, but the business is han
died through the Minneapolis Offices, and
the travelling statesmen make this city
their headquarters. v5.
Much Of the, coal used in the north
west comes from Pennsylvania. No other
coal region has been able to cut into the
trade to any extent. The coal beds Of
Pennsylvania are situated that near the
great lakes as to make them the natural
supply point for the northwest. The
but the big item is soft coal for steam
purposes At times some Iowa coal has
been brought to this market for distri-
button and occasionally shipments of Illi-
nois coal have been received, but the
amount is comparatively small. x
AS a manufacturing city, Minneapolis is
the best single fuel customer Of any point
in the central west. The local trade is so
large that the best Of facilities are needed
for it's proper handling, and these facili-
ties come In handy for the distribution of
coal throughout Minnesota and the Dako-
tas. ..-- =. *
AS the natural distributing point for
northwest trade Minneapolis is attractive
to the Ignite miners endeavoring to
stimulate business for their product. This
tt affic has received a good start in the
past few years, and while it is a compara-
lively small element in the total volume
of fuel sales, it is being given a place by
the consumer. '-I; =. -...-I =.
Some of the shipping companies repre-
scented in Minneapolis are miners of hard
coal and some own soft coal properties.
All handle both kinds of fuel, and in addi-
tion ship wood brought from nearby
points to some extent. There have been
some consultations in the past two years
which have taken some agencies out of
the field, but the volume of trade has con-
tinued to increase. p -, r

that more mistakes are not made.
That the ceremony has been simplitied
and systemetized Almost to the
limit is shown in the fact that a few
days ago couple were married in one
minute and twenty-seven seconds.
This included all of the time from the
formation of the bridal procession In
the aisle to the moment when all par

signing OF the papers and the delivery
of the marriage certificate.
The partnerships are cemented with

through a short list of questions and
VOWS, and all is over except the formal
signing of the necessary documents.
In spite Of this speed, however. eff
forts are actually under way to in
crease it. One plan under favorable
consideration is the syndicate scheme
OF placing half a dozen couples before

A certain Scotch minister in west
highland parish has never yet been
known to permit stranger to occupy
his pulpit. Lately. however. an Edin-
burgh divinity student was spending a
few days in the parish. and on the Sat
urday he called at the manse and asked
the minister to be allowed to preach
the following day.
"My dear young man." said the min
lister. laying hand gently on the
young mans shoulder. 'gin lat ye
