sherlock Holmes" at the Metropolitan
Keen interest in a good detective
story is by no means confined to the
juvenile population. Witness the mil
lions of grown people who have
breathlessly watched the many presen-
tations upon the stage of Sherlock
Holmes" in London. in New York and
in all the other cities of this country.
This popular play was presented at
the Metropolitan last night by Herbert
Kelley and Effie Shannon and their
company before an audience that never
abated a jot of attention from the rise
of the curtain on the first act until its
fall on the last Doubtless many knew
just how every scene would reSult-to-
wit, in the discontinue of the criminals
and the triumph of the omniscient
Holmes, but that did not lessen the in
tereSt one whit.
Gillette's dramatization of Conan
Doyles famous detective-for that is
what it is, possesses the merit of con-
ciseness in point of dialogue. There
are few Superf1uous speeches. Every
word counts, and the auditor must
needs hear every word in order to ap-
preciate each succeeding scene.
Herbert Kelcey's portrayal of the
title role does not call for extended
comment. 1t is familiar to local
MI. hEICcy Is dH dClO-
whose experience was gained in an adj
mirabie school. He is favored with a
manly, not to say a striking, presence,
pleasing voice and a refined enuncia-
ton. His acting is dominated by a re-
pose that is most gratifying. These are
accomplishments that lend themselves
with felicity to such an abnormal role
as Sherlock Holmes.
Miss Effie Shannon is quite satif3c-
tory in the role of Alice Faulkner,
which is not exacting.
The other interesting character-that
of Prof. Moriarty-is enacted with
melodramatic intensity by David Dav-
les. A little more restraint at times on
the part of Mr.. Davies would make his
performance more effective by the force
of contrast, though, perhaps, melo-
drama knows not the meaning of re-
Straint.
The other members CT the company
meet the requirements, which are not
numerous.
The light. or rather the dark, eff
fects, are as fascinating as ever

because it does not represent art. the
art lovers who visit the ST. Louis ex-
position will turn their backs on Bon
tempi's copying drill. An invention APP
peals to every man whether he ad-
mires portrait made by a sewing ma
chine or is competent to critfcise the
paintings in the last Salon. But to
even the humblest worshiper at the

vention only. To drop a clay model
into machine and draw out marble
statue may represent inventive genius
but genius of no other kind.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. 20.-In-
vestigations carried on since the frosts
have established the fact that not to
exceed 25 per cent of the corn crop of
South Dakota was affected by the
frosts of a few days ago. Practically
all Of the corn which was injured was
grown from seed which was brought
In from the South. The stalks grew at
a wonderful rate, attaining height of
fifteen and eighteen feet, but the ears
were slow in maturing and were at the
critical stage when the frost came. The
remaining rs per cent consisting of
the native varieties, had commenced to
harden, and farmers agree in saying
that the frost was a benefit instead of
an injury, and with the present warm
weather will hasten the maturing.

"sky Farm" at the Grand.

Another rural drama, new to st.
Paul, was launched at the Grand opera
house last night! Sky Farm is it's
title and Edward E. Kidder its author.
Kidder achieved some distinction as
a playwright by reason of three COM
edies Sol Smith Russell made famous,
tO-wit: "A Poor Relation" "BeWitch-
ed" and Peaceful Valley
His latest effort, witnessed at the
Grand last night, is not in quite the
same class, but 1T is nevertheless an
entertaining play 1t is essentially a
rural drama. The wit is obvious, the
scenery rustic and the persons of the
drama in thorough keeping with it.
It's homely simplicity is it's chief charm.
In his desire to create situations ex-
plotting the triumph of virtue over
vice. Mr.. Kidder has forced things a
trifie, but for every canon of the
dramatiSts art he has sacrificed, he
has gained lots Of applause. What
though some of the eccentric charac-
tiers that people his play may seem to
be painted with exaggerated strokes,
they nevertheless are alive. Indeed.
their counterparts are occasionally
seen in Yankeedom.
In short Sky Farm" is a good,
constructed, punctuated now and then
with pat repartee. colored with anus
ing character sketches and favored
with the sentiment of honest love.

point moralist looking fer something

The company is adequate, and that
is fortuitous circumstance, worthy of
special note in this latitude and longi-
tude.
George I. Mech, who impersonates
the parson, Rev. Milo Towers, not only
plays the parson, but looks like a real
minister. When things worry him he
appears annoyed like real human be-
ing. 1t is quite a relief.
Frank c. HartweH is obliged to por-
tray a man who would put Nero's bru-
tally to shame. There is no light side
TO this character-there being lack of
time to develop it-so Mr.. Hartweli
cannot be criticised for his effective
assumption Of constant, vehement VIII
lainy.
Harry Mills contributed a pleasing
Characterization of "Neighbor Nixon, -
the young farmer, who chokes the old
brute and rescues the marriage GER
tificate Of the parsons daughter, who
was secretly welded.
Grace Hull furnished an agreeable
representation of the demure sister
Jonquil, whom Neighbor Nixon kisses
with much relish on the slightest prov
ocation.
Sarah McVicker's Characterization of
the Widow Wilkins was effective. The
other character sketches contributed by
Ed German, the tired hired man,
George Elmer, the blacksliding village
hackman, and Frederick Barton, the
gawky Stephen Tully, impaired color
to the play.
The play is well mounted. The sec
ond scene of the third act, represent
ing grove of naples is picturesque.

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several Important Points That Must
Be Remembered


To teach a child with success re
quires only common sense, good judg
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
of the teacher.
First of oil, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
infexible rule that requires a teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present it
In an interesting and ineligible way.
Third. there is the ever present dan.
ger of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard
