Under. the heading, German Pho

ror publishes a sketch which deals
with the very early days of the theatre
cal profession. The Renaissance is
of interest locally for it dwells upon
conditions in New Ulm during our
"reconstr uction period.' It is as
follows: '@. 49, IN r. +.
SIN an interesting article in the
Baltimore American, Carl Ahrendt
reviews facts nowadays not commonly
remembered as to the notable part
taken by Germans in the development
of the theatre in this country. 1t
probably is true that the Germans,
more practically than any other race
that has come to these shores, have
assisted in building up homes for the
drama, particularly in remote places
that would have waited long for the
aires if they had depended upon any
other nationality, or on any mixture
of nationalities that did not largely
include Germans.
"Mr. Ahrendt points out that Ger
mans in many localities were mission
aries of the theatre: that they organ
lied singing and turn societies that
made necessary the building OF halls
with stages, scenery and all the para
phernalia of we'll equipped theatres
in cities and towns of this country
where a dramatic performance would
have been impossible in other circum-
stances. Mr.. Ahrendt says:
g L remember when in the early '60s
the Athenaeum in St. Paul, built by
Germans, was the only theatre there;
so in Davenport, La Crosse, Dubuque,
and nearly all the towns on the upper
Mississippi, Germans built the first
theatres. I also remember what a
grand sight and object lesson, what
an example of onward striding civili-
cation it was to me when [ saw the
stately new Turner Hall in New Ulm,
MINI. with it's complete and elegantly
furnished theatre, during the spring
of 1864, which was then just finished
of durable material on the same site
where but two years before the hostile
Sioux had destroyed the old hall, a
rather primitive frame structure.
What a transformation scene! What
a long series Of graduation in SO short
a space of time! From the indescrib-
able horrors Of an Indian outbreak in
the wilderness of the far Northwest,
where enraged redskins slaughtered
peaceful men, women and children in
unspeakable savagery, scalped grown
persons, pierced helpless infants with
pitchforks, fastening the naked bodies
of those innocent babes to trees,
burned homes of settlers to the
ground, and carried off horses, cattle
and every portable article of value.
From these scenes of barbarous devas-
tation to the substantial temple of
Melpomene in a fourishing town,
with an auditorium where masterpieces
of the classics as we'll as modern nov
elties-tragedy, comedy, history, pas
toral. etc.-found able representation

Will SOON SELECT SITE.
State Sanitariun G Commission to
Visit Walker.
Plan to Erect An Administrative
Building this Fall.
At Outset Tubercular Patients
Will Live in Tents.

4 At the meeting Of the advisory com
mission Of the state sanitarium for
consumptiyes, held last week in St.
Paul, it was decided to take the pre-
liminary steps toward establishing the
institution as soon as the appropria-
ton made by the legislature was avail
able. August 1st was the date fixed
by the solons for the opening of the
fund and DR.. G. B. Weiser, the local
member of the commission, tells the
Review that he. and his associates will
leave within ten days for Walker to
select site for the buildings.
+ This will be something OF. an under
taking as there are numerous sanitary
and other requirements to be observed.
In the first place the institution must
be accessible to a railroad and the
site must have the best of drainage
and an ample water supply. Dry eli
mate and a high altitude are neces-
sary, the soil must be sandy and free
from moisture and there should be a
good growth of trees to act as a wind
break and keep away the dust. Some
meadow land will be wanted, as the
institution will depend upon it's own
supply of milk and eggs, and the COM
mission purposes buying at least one
and probably two sections of land.
The members of the advisory board
plan upon opening the sanitarium late
next spring. This fall they will build
a small administration building and
at the outset will quarter the patients
in tents. This plan will be followed
during the time the main buildings
are in course of construction, but they
figure that the appropriation OF $780,
900 is but necleus for the fund; their
estimate of the total cost being far in
excess of that amount.
In the way of help they will need a
superintendent and an assistant super
intendent. Not many nurses will be
required as the patients will be able to
take care of themselves. The great
essentials are proper. discipline as to
diet and the mode of living and also
plenty of fresh air. Patients will be
made to rough ito get as close to
nature as possible-and upon this the
commission counts to obtain it's cures.
Germany enjoys the distinction of
having originated the sanitarium idea.
Private institutions established in
that country for the treatment of con-
sumptives fourished greatly and now
the government maintains and con-
ducts one along the lines they laid
down. In this country Massachusetts
has a state sanitarium and the city of
New York has appropriated $4,000
toward one for the municipality.
There are several private concerns
and one of these claims IS per cent of
cures. If this degree of success can
be attained in Minnesota it will not be
many years before the commissioners
will have under their charge enough
tuberculosis sufferers to form good

Revising the Laws.

The work of revising the statutes OF
Minnesota is progressing steadily, and
the revision commissioners expect to
have the work done at the opening of
the next legislature.
The method employed is to take up a
chapter of the old statutes at time
and from this a revision is made into
sections. Chapters are assigned to diff
ferent members of the board, and as
the work is completed the board as a
whole passes on it.
The scheme of the revision will be
different from that of most complia-
tons The statutes will be divided in
to chapters, and the entire work will
be subdivided into sections, the num-
bering commencing at the beginning Of
the book The distinctive feature is
that of making of the title instead of
the chapters the primary division.
When completed the revision will be
submitted to the legislature in the
form of bill.

But there lives in Ogden to-day a
man, Lorin Farr by name, who has
strong opinions upon the question of
citizens duty to his country by rear
ing and educating large family and
has not hesitated to put his cherished
ideas into practice. Lorin Farr is the
father of twenty sons and nineteen
daughters. He has 296 grandchildren
and siXty-six great-grandchildre His
living descendants to-day number, APP
proximately 406 souls.
OF his thirty-nine children, thirty are
living-eighteen sons and twelve daugh-
tiers. All are strong, healthy and Wig
orous, none has been an invalid, not
one has made failure in his or her
line of business. They are prosperous
farmers, merchants, lawyers and doc
tors; the girls have married into every
station, and an have large families.
Every profession and trade is repre-
sented by Mr.. Fairs descendants.
All of these children have been edu-
Gated by Mr.. Farr and he has given
them a start in life. Had all of them
lived to manhood and womanhood he
feels that there would have been none
too many, and he declares that he
felt the loss of the few that died In
childhood as keenly as would the faith
er of a small family.
Mr.. Farr has two brothers, Enoch
and Allan. These two men. 81 and 66
years old, respectively, have between
them fifty-one children, and 309 de-
scendants, all living This makes the
total number of descendants of these
three brothers 10 souls. and it is the
intention of the Farr brothers to meet
the President here and introduce him
to these 10 descendants as an argu-
ment that the human race is repro
ducing itself. These families are the
largest in the world.
Although Mr.. Farr is now 81 years
old, he moves, looks, acts and talks like
man twenty years younger. While

he exclaimed, dropping his oracuIar
manner for the moment, who was not
worthy of and who did not desire hav-
ing his name perpetuated. And how
will mans name go down to poster
ity unless he raises a family?
There is more than the religious
side to this question. 1t is a mans
duty to his country, to his nation, TO
add to the roll of good citizens.
The best citizen, the great patriot
is he who, loving the institutions of
his country and obeying its laws. at
the same time brings into the world
and educates the greatest number of
men and women who follow his ex-

Too much social pleasure weakens the
elements of mother and father love. I
consider this certain. 1t comes from
a false standard of life and pleasure.
It is my experience that the largest
families get the highest enjoyment
from social intercourse within their
own family circle.
THE people who refuse to become
parents are never satisfied. They are

cause they are Sinking their most

"A short time ago I was reading
about this New Yorker named Pente-
cost who attacked President Roose-
velt's views on the race question, and
who said THE Presidents ideal
citizen seems to be a jack-rabbit.'
Pentecost is a dangerous crank. His
theories put into application would
soon result in the extinction of the
race. He would have only the rich
and well-to-do rear children and he
would have only one or two children
IN each family. II the poor had no
children there would soon be no poor
and then there would soon be no rich.

fortune never marry. If only two
children were born into every home,

the world would rapidly grow less.

the score of big families and he'll find
his opinions sustained by all good citi-
