ITALIAN ART LECTURES
Mrs. Robert M. Seymour VIII DeINe
Short Course at Mrs. George
PartrIdue's Residence.

Partrdee's Residence. Do.
Minneapolis is being especially favor red
in valuable art lectures just now. ION
Thursday at 1890, Mrs. Robert M. Sey-
mour of West Superior will give the first
Of a series of class lectures on Italian art
at the residence Of Mrs. George w. Part
ridge. Early in the month Mrs. Seymour
gave a general art lecture to a company
of Mrs. aPrtridge's friends that was very
much appreciated and will introduce ia
vorably the proposed course Of six lee
lures. a.
Mrs. Seymour has been conducting
classes in art history in Duluth and
West Superior for seven years that have
been important factors in the develop
ment of the aesthetic taste of these cities.
Mrs. Seymour's work is rather unsual,
for it deals with rare understanding with
the spirit Of art and not merely it's cold
facts, it's purpose being to touch the lives
Of people with it's inspiration and its
power. -
There is a prospect that Mrs. Seymour 8
present course will be but preliminary to
regular annual courses Of class work sim
liar to that she has done in the lake cit
les. circumstances seem especially IA
vorable to such plan for there is no one
else doing the serious kind of art work
that she undertakes who Is near enc ugh
to Minneapolis to come frequently. In
Ldk1IlS up the Work anew from the be-
ginning as Mrs Seymour plans to do with
her old classes next year the course will
not be limited in its scope strictly to art
and will be called 1.-THE Evolution OF Gull
ture.'' It will follow the history Of man
mot as doer'' in Mrs. Seymours phra se-
ology. but as mysterious and many
sided spirit striving to attain self -knpwl-
edge and self development and his life
upon the earth as a marvellous drama OF
thought feeling and action

PLAY IS A WINNER
"The Queen Of the Ballet to Be Put
On by the Roosevelt March
ing Club.
Preparations Going Forward With
Enthusiasm and a Great Sue
cess Is Promised.

The Roosevelt Marching club has been
rehearsins for the past eight weeks it's
new play "The Queen Of the Ballet" and
the work has progressed so satisfactorily
that 1t is believed that the new produce
ton will outshine in every way THE
Viking,'' which the club produced last
year and which scored a great success.
THE Queen of the Ballet's is light OPP
era, written by r. A. Barnett, the author
Of "1492,'' Miss Simplicity" ETC., espe-
cialy for the Boston Cadets. From all
reports it was the most successful produc-
ton the organization ever gave. 1t is re-
plete with bright conversation, good mu
sic and dancing, and was selected by a
committee in charge Of the play from a lot
Of half dozen as being the brightest and
strongest Of any of the operas under con-
sideration, though they were all good
ones.
The cast will be made up largely from
the same men who took part in 1.-THE vi
king last year, but the club is very for
tunate in having added to its membership
in the past year several voices which are
especially fine, and which will be heard
to good advantage in THE Queen Of the
Ballet" both among the principal char
acters and in sthe chorus. The opportuni-
ties for the display Of dramatic talent
and musical ability are very great in 1.-THE
Queen Of the Ballet and with the ma
terial at hand and the spirit that the
men are showing in the work, there Is alb
solutely no question but what the Roose-
welt Marching club will score it's biggest
success up to date in the, production Of
this piece. "a - -, - .-..~
TIE hclub fully appreciate the warm re-
ception extended to The Viking last
year. by the theater-going public and re-
Allies that it will be a hard task to sur
pass. or even equal, the success scored
by that production, but it feels that with
the benefit of the past two years ex-
perience and the hard work which is now
being done the piece will fully come up to
the expectations of all the friends Of the
club. ,- -
The play will be produced first at Man
kato Feb. %, at Minneapolis in the Met
ropolitan opera-house, March 2, and 4,
and at Fargo, Saturday, March Z.

Although 1t is understood that Mr..
Lowry and Mr.. Pennington We're in Mon

he had nothing to give out. Mr.. Penning-
ton had heard nothing Of a proposed part

point north of Minneapolis toward the
international boundary.
Mr.. Lowry did not see DR.. A. A. Ames,
in whom he has a considerable financial
interest, although the doctor was reported
to be near New York.

JIM PETERSON SAYS
That He Wasn't Setting Up the Pins al
WASHINGTON.

That He Wasn't Setting Up the Pins at
Washington.
James A. Peterson has returned from
Washington and enters a modest denial
to the story that he and Congressman
Fletcher discussed over the lunch table
the question of who should succeed John
Lind in congress. Mr.. Peterson says he
had business with one Of the departments
in Washington. and while in the city
Loren is numbered. Politics was not
discussed.
There Is no doubt, however, that some
thing Is doing in local political circles.
The latest theory-and this far in ad-
vance theories are the best that can be
ter1nined to run again in 1904, relying on
presidential year to pull him through,
so that he will get revenge and the glory
of retiring John Lind. To insure his NOM
nation, it is said, he Is seeking an alli-
ance with Mr.. Peterson, promising to re-
tire after one more term and throw all
his strength to Peterson in 1906. 1t is
regarded as probable that such an alliance
will be brought about.
Mr.. Peterson looked around him while
in Washington, and he does not think
the prospects bright for ratification Of
the Cuban treaty at this session. Sem
timent Is stronger in favor Of tariff re-
vision, especially since the removal OF
the coal duties, and the power Of Grosve-
nor and Dalzell is endangered.
Senator Nelson is the personal repre-
sentative Of the president in the state
hood fight, says Mr.. Peterson. Mime
sofas senior senator is in daily private
consultation with President Roosevelt,
who relies On him greatly. Senator Quay
is heading corporate influences that de-
sire the admission of the territories. and
the democrats are supporting him be-
cause they expect the electoral votes and
senatorial seats Of New Mexico and Ari-

CHEERFUL CHAs. !"
Assistant County Attorney Jelley|
Runs Across Much Wanted
Big Mitter.
He Promised to Call With Billy
Edwards To-day, but Didn't
Show Up.

Are BILLY" Edwards and Cheerful
Charlie" Howard, the two men wanted
badly by the state as witnesses in tho
municipal cases, in Minneapolis? They
are reported to have been seen yesterday
but as far as to-day Is concerned the
question remains unanswered
Yesterday afternoon Assistant County
Attorney c. S. Jelley, while enjoying d
little Sunday outing, came face to face
with Howard. The states attorney
stopped the visitor and proceeded to quesr
ton him concerning his recent where
abouts and his intentions.
Howard stated that Billy Edwards was
in the city with him." said Mr.. Jelley
this morning. HE said that they had
been down in Winona and through the
southern part of the state; that they had
not run away and had not been aware be :
him that we did want him and he re :
piled that both he and his pal would be
at the courthouse this morning" i
Notwithstanding this promise of the
''big mitt" man, his smiling countenancb
was not to be seen in the county building
this morning. Neither was Billy in
evidence. Subpoenas were given the
sheriff's office this morning and as many
menas could be spared were sent out to
locate the much wanted witnesses. Mott
withstanding diligent search, the location
of the two men has not been discovered.
Yesterday being Sunday, everything
was quiet about the courthouse, and ND
process being out, the men could not be
detained. It is believed by many Of those
interested that the two smooth individual is
known as Edwards and Howard were en- :
tirely aware Of this circumstance, that
they needed to visit Minneapolis to raise
cash or do something of that sort and that
having accomplished their business they
Immediately "ducked" and are now out Of
the way again.
If this surnise Is not correct one and
the two men are found by the authorities,
! the state will be in much better con-
d1tion to prosecute its cases against Irwin
| A. Gardner, and if the ex-mayor returns,
| the evidence against him will also lie
materially strengthened.
