Too Much for the Donkey.
From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

FROM the Chicago 1nter-0cean.
In the new play to be produced shortly by
E. H. Sothern, Miss Margaret Ellington is
supposed to make her entrance gracefully
and confidently seated upon the back Of a
donkey. Being somewhat anxious that she
should accustom herself to the posture, Mr..
Sothern Insisted that an animal be secured
and used at every rehearsal
In consequence docile beast was en-
gagged for the part of Ellington bearer and
for several days performed with deliberate
exactnesS The other morning, however;
the actress pride of Bloomington, ILL.,, made
her entrance on foot

Miss 1llington, remarked Mr.. Sothern.

But, Mr.. ~Sothern-" echoed the stage

Mr.. Sothern's hands were buried in his
disheveled locks.

Ington and the stage manager in chorus.
Mr Sothern was thoughtful. Then he
smiled grimly. 81 didn't think the piece was

LEoNcAvALLo's CRITICISM.

From London Sketch.
An operate story that the opera singers
enjoy relating, though whether it have any
foundation in fact is extremely doubtful. is
one detailing an amusing experience of
Leoncayallo, the composer Of Il 'Pagliacci'
He was visiting a small town in Italy on
one occasion, and noticed that his tragedy
was to be sung by the stock company Of
the place. Consequently he determined to
attend incognito. it not being generally
known that he was In the town

bright-eyed and enthusiastic young lady,
who, noticing that he did not Join in the

"Oh, no. replied the composer.
Then he proceeded to enlighten her on
the subject, proving the music worthless
and entirely without originality.
"See," said he, this motif is and
he hummed lightly short melody; this
aria is stolen from Bizet, and that is from
Beethoven" In short, he tore the whole
opera into pieces.
His neighbor sat in silence but with an
air of pity on her countenance At the
close she turned to him and said, rs what
you have said to me your honest opinion?"
Entirely So was the reply

Next morning. CHANGING over the paper,
his eye fell upon the heading, "Leoncavallo
on his 'Pagliacci,' and reading further he
was somewhat startled to find the con-
versation of the evening before fully re-
ported and accredited to the proper source.
He had, unfortunately, played his little
joke on a reporter.

There are politicians in
Minnesota, and few editors
too, that don't appear to care a
curse for the interests of the
people only so far as they can
use them for their own person
al interests. 1t is this class
that are gloating over Judge
Lochren's merger decision in
favor of the railroads and a
gainst the interests of the peo-
pie. It is up to the people in
the next political contest to say
whether the merger crowd will
be able to throttle the will of
the people, or whether the peo-
pie will throttle the merger at
the ballot box. St. Peter Trib-

1t is certainly desirable, says
the Window Reporter, that the
president and Senator Nelson
should get into touch again.
It has been rumored, since the
appointment Of Cortelyou to
the secretaryship of commerce,
that the president and the SEN
ator have not been son friendly
terms, for the senator thought
that in being the author of the
bill which created the depart
ment he was certainly entitled
to name the member of the
cabinet if he named suitable
man. We have always thought
the senator was right and the
president was wrong in this.
Now, however the president is
reported to have asked the SEN
ator's advice in the appoint
ment of the. assistant. We
hope the senator, though feel
ing somewhat justly indignant
at the time Cortelyou was APP
pointed, will let the incident
drop here, and name the can
didate to assist in the manage
ment of the department..
Minnesota is decidedly friendly
to the great senator for he has
proven himself great, and is al
so strongly supporting the
president for another term.
1t would be unpleasant to all if
there should be such acoldness
between the two that the sena-
tor should feel 1ukewarn in
the approaching campaign.

The color of the water in the
upper Mississippi below St
Paul is like that of black tea
It is stained by the roots and
leaves of the tamarack swamps
on the St. Croix, Chippewa and
other tributaries. The leaves
of that plant contains a strong
tannin, and, dropping off into
the water,color it. The dark tint
of the water is deepened by the
bark and sawdust of the pine
logs. The 1um bermen use saw
dust for fuel up here, but can
not consume half of it, and
burn it in great furnaces erect
ed expressly for that purpose.
You can see the stacks at every
group of saw mills. Millions
of dollars are thus thrown a
way. In Europe every ounce
of sawdust is utilized. but we
are wasteful people. The by
products of a European saw
mill more than pay the expense
of running it, and if the lum-
bermen were wise they might
utilize every ounce of their logs
for some profitable purpose just
as the packing houses turnlinto

The Freeman's Journal, of
Cooperstown, N. Y, has had an
experience possible to few
newspapers. Its editor, Samu-
Ell NJ. Shaw, has retired from
active service to a green old
age of "otum cum dignitate"
after a continuous career of
more than fifty years, and, as
young yet in everything but
years, ability and experience as
when he took up the work in
the early fifties. He made his
paper one of the finest local
weeklies in this country by i'm
pressing it with his own indi-
viduality. Never coarse nor
vituperous, it was always Wig
orous and aggressive. It's in
fluence was as broad as the
state-yes, broader Mr.. Shaw
has been the trusted confdant
and adviser of the democratic
leaders of New York from the
early days of Horatio Seymour
and his political friends to the
later days of Grover Cleveland
and his friends. He has shap-
ed policies, made governors,
congressman and judges, and
yet would never accept any of
flee whatsoever. In social life
he is charming, and no young
man ever enjoyed his friend
ship and hundreds have
who were not the better and
nobler for it. The writer is de-
lighted to feel that the occa-
sion has presented when it
may with propriety thus pub
licly pay this feeble tribute to
his sterling character and con-
picuous ability without en-
bodying it in an obituary notice.
Long may he live to be hon
ored and beloved as he de-
serves. Sank Centre Herald.

Editor Gordon, of the Browns
Valley Tribune, comes to our
rescue in his last weeks issue:
whenever the Morris news
papers make any references to
candidates for governor, they
are Immediately called down"
by some of the over-zealous
friends of Judge Brown in Ste
vens county, which would indi-
cate that somebody outside the
Seventh district had been
"throwing the scare" into Judge
Browns Stevens county friends
The fact is, Judge Brown is
sure of denomination as a SUI
|prene court candidate. He
has performed his duties well
and is entitled to endorsement
IN accordance to all precedent,
and his candidacy should in no
manner stand as a bar for 9th
ers in the Seventh district be-
coming candidates for COVER
nor, encouragement or any
other Office" !,
And again:
with fifteen places to be fill
ed on the state ticket in 1904,
and only nine congressional
districts to draw from, there
will have to be a doubling up
somewhere, and it might just
well be from the Seventh.
Neither Eddy, Brown or Young
should be discouraged"

Ready made editorials from

The ST. Cloud Journa1-Press
gives the following very fair
summary of the gubernatoriali
situation: y
Frank Eddy is the first to an
t,ounce his candidacy for gov
ernor. Eddy has many good
qualities to commend him, and
has influential friends by the
thousand. He will be pronni
nent factor in the coming con-.
test. It is understood that r.
C. Dunn will soon tell the peo
pie the he would like to be gov
ernor. Then there will be plen-
ty doing. Dunn made an ex-I
cel1ent record as state auditor
and has the personal friendship
of the state press, perhaps in a
larger degree than any other
man in the state, with very few
exceptions. Van SAINTS polite
al enemies are paving the way
for the governor to become a
candidate for a third term.
Whether they will succeed re-
mains to be seen. He is espel
cially strong with the people
but the anti-third term idea is a
decided handicap. From the
present outlook it seems proba-
bic that one of these three will
be nominated for governor and |
elected. It IS, however, nearly |
a year before the ,covention
time, and that is long enough
to make or break political
booms. y
