a. Minneapolis Dramatic Event.

/ One OF the most delightful literary and
social events of the year was the Indian
dinner served at the residence OF MI. ana
Mrs. George B. Moses of Kenwood. Fore
side,. Saturday evening last, to the menu
ibers Of the Split Infinitive club. Basket
covers were laid for seventeen or eighteen
and hot dog with beadwork sauce was
served The second course was fried
buffalo robe After the feast several
rounds Of killikinnick were smoked while
the club listened breathlessly to a, most
entertaining paper by MIR. Bromley on
"The First White Child Born on the Site
OF Chapman,s Grocery Store" The paper
was a. historical study Of great interest
and Importance to Minneapolis Illustrated
by daguerreotypes and photographs. the
former dating back to 1892.
! The literary piece de resistance OF the
evening, however, was the dramatizat ton
in five, acts Of Hudson's Dictionary Of
Minneapolis, read by the author. We UNI
derstand that this play will soon be placed
on the stage In New York and will, II a
success, be tried in the provinces this
winter. There is a possibility that the
new Metropolitan may be opened with it.
The double role, comprising the charac-
ter Of Fathers Hennepin and Nicollet,
plays an important part in the dramatiza-
ton. Indian Sal, who sells to the gov
eminent for an Indian reservation the
land on which Minneapolis now stands, is
also q. striking figure. Eighteen white
men are scalped at First avenue S and
Eighteenth street in the first act, which
+ ends in the remarkable and SOUL thrilling
climax of the defense OF the Glass Block
against pirates. The second act is made
up. Of the capture Of the garbage crena :
tory by, hostile reds, and the carrying into
captivity Of Arthur Warnock. The climax
Of the act is his rescue by the Flambeau
club just as he Is about to fool the In
dams who want to-. scalp him and burn
him at the porterhouse steak. ofYss ~
The1playiis one Of thrilling interest from
starta to finish. Other. exciting scenes are
I the RoseAaFete givenzs by Minnehahar and
sHiawatha at their suburban home at the
Falls, the Discovery of Nicollet avenue by
R. F. Jones in pioneer costume and a grand
scalp dance performed by the grand jury
led by Mr.. Clarke.
| At the conclusion Of the reading, thru
which the club sat spellbound, a round OF
applause was given. Everybody said
GLOW, How" and shook hands, and very
enjoyable session broke up at midnight.

Marrow Roadways.

r All readers of, Til ~Journal inter-
ested in municipal affairs, and that ought
to include all Of them who live in cities
or villages, found much food for thought
in Mr. E. J. Phelps admirable article in
Saturdays issue summing UP the argu-
ments in favor Of paved roadways adapted
in width to the pressure of traffic.
Mr.. Phelps makes out a good, In fact
an unassailable, case for 24-foot road
way for Minneapolis residence streets,
leaving the difference between that and
present roadway widths for boulevards.
The wide roadways are unnecessary out
side Of the business district and are, in
Decd a nuisance. The narrowing Of the
present roadways in no way interferes
with business growth, for If at any time
street changes its character from that
Of a residence to a business thorofare, it
is an easy matter to restore the boulevard
reservations to pavement. The city does
not give up any portion Of the street In
narrowing the roadway. It simply devotes
a part Of 1t to another purpose than the
accommodation of vehicles. This is not a
question Of narrower streets as Mr.
Phelps points out, but of narrower road
ways The handsomest sort Of street IS
wide one with a roadway no wider than
the traffic actually requires.
Minneapolis ought to adopt a regular
program of narrow pavements in residence
districts. Marrow paving means more
paving The same appropriation
will, as Mr.. Phelps showed, go much far
Their with a narrow than with wide
roadway. In effect that means that the
taxpayers will get more for their money.
