and will pass the house. There is also
some legislation aimed at state mu-
tual companies, and one bill has passed
prohibiting foreign mutual hail COM
panieS from doing hail business in this
state. The farmers of the state have
been mulcted SO often by fake hail
companies that they propose to take
steps to protect themselves.
The matter Of oil inspection has not
yet been taken up in either house.
There is a bill in the house to provide
for a gravity test for oil, and an
other in the senate to repeal the oil
inspection law altogether and abolish
the office of oil inspector as a useless
appendage to the state government.
The politicians to whom the oil in

latter bill and the oil companies are

make it misdemeanor for any person
to solicit or take orders for liquor in
the state, but that has not yet been
reported from committee. Another bill
has been presented to encourage spot
tiers and offer reward of $50 for every
complaint made against any person
violating the liquor law of the state,
upon conviction. This is about the ex-

posed, and it is safe to predict that
not much of it will get through.

fixed and unlimited appropriations,
which continue from year to year
without the enactment of new laws.
None of these bills have passed yet but
all have been reported and are in shape
for passage.

principal senate bill introduced was to
increase fees Of witnesses in circuit

MARRIAGE A
GREAT surprise
TO SOCIETY
III
Quiet Wedding of George
Culver Rugg and Elsie
Douglas Pope Yesterday at
Home Of Brides Mother
Passes Off in Secrecy.

To a greater portion of st. Paul So
ciety there will be a complete sur
prise in the announcement of the mar
riage of George Culver Rugg and Elsie
Douglas Pope. Possibly no engage
ment of the past season has been more
generally known than that of Mr. Rugg
and Miss Pope, but many of their init
mate friends were not aware that it's
elimination was imminent, and 1t was
generally understood that the parents
of the young people, although not OPP
posing marriage, counseled delay.
Yesterday afternoon it became known
that the wedding had taken place and
SO few were the persons really in the
secret that only the most meager par
ticulars could be learned. 1t appears
that only the closest relatives and a
few of the most intimate friends were
present at the ceremony and only the
bare announcement of the marriage
was made public. 1a 4.ess
Bride and Groom Leave for Trip.
Last evening from various sources it
was gathered that the ceremony was
performed at the residence of the
brides mother, Mrs. Augusta Sibley
Pope, 703 Ashland avenue, and that
Rev. Theodore Sedgwfck was the off,
cfating clergyman.
/. Mr.. and Mrs. Rugg departed on one
of the late trains for Chicago last
night.
Both of the young people are social
ly prominent and highly connected
The bride is a daughter of the late
Capt. Douglas Pope, y, S. A, and
granddaughter of Gen. H. H. Sibley,
first governor Of the state Of Minnesota
and one of the most prominent figures
in the history of st. Paul and the en-
tire state. Mr.. Rugg is the son of H.
P. Rugg, one Of the oldest wholesale
merchants of st. Paul, and is associat-
ed with his father In business.

Famous New England Story on
the Stage.

About three yeats ago, Quincy Ad-
ANS Sawyer" a story Of New England
life, by Charles FELTON, Pidgin, made
its apnearanna in attractive hook form.
Directly it achieved enormous popuf
larity. Everybody was reading it and
talking about it. The sales continued
for q year with no abatement. About
that time the parties concerned in the
book saw in the story all the elements
Of a successful play. To be sure it
lacked a william, a ruined girl, a lost
will, a mortgage and a cruel uncle,
but it contained plenty of types of
people all distinct and natural. And
so the dramatization was made.
If the book was Successful the play
-THetry of ElIzabef and a.
was doubly 50. Houses crowded to
the doors marked its every appearance.
1.-THE very best New England play
ever SEEM" was the universal YER
dict.
The play closely follows the book.
No attempt was made to enlarge on
the plot. Quincy Adams Sawyer
is a wealthy young Boston lawyer,
who goes into the country for his
health. He meets a blind girl whose
love he wins. Their courtship is the
main theme of the play, but 1t is not
on any one feature of the drama that
interest centres, for as far as love.
making goes, there are six full hedged
love stories in progress all the time.
1t is the realistic portrayal of char
acter and scene that has won the play
its distinction. The world loves any
thing genuine.
1t is the jolliest play ever written
The comedy scenes are strong ant
many, and the tender seriousness Of
the sentimental portions being only
sweet content and satisfaction un'
mixed with regret or sadness.
The play is equally popular every
where. In New York last season whert
it ran for five weeks the capacity Of
the Academy Of Music was taxed 4
its utmost.
Manager Waterman is to be congrat'
ulated on securing this great play fol
