"The Little outcast" at the sijou.

Annie Blancke, who has returned to the
Bljou this week after a considerable alb
sence from the local stage, is enough of
a favorite in Minneapolis to assure her
a hearty welcome even had she come to
us with a far less meritorious play than
The Little Outcast," which, while it is
simply oldfashioned melodrama with
all the faults implied by the term,- is
still interesting and Serves to reintroduce
the dainty little coincidence in a role we'll
adapted to her abilities. The newsboy,
Bob. is a type of character that became
popular upon the American stage some
years ago, but is seldom seen nowadays
Bob is gamin Of sturdy honesty, the type
of boy that made Horatio Ayers stories
OF the New Y ork street urcfin the favorite
Juvenile fiction of a passing generation.
His father is a drunkard and thief He
has no mother. Why he should be hon
est IS not quite clear, but honest he is.
and equipped also with a keenness of wit
and fertility of invention typical of the
successful vendors of newspapers in
American cities. In the play it is his
duty to rescue the hero from the trials and
trlbulations which beset him at every turn
and this office he performs with complete
success and to the extravagant delight of
the gallery.
AS for the hero he is a, conventional
fellow OF monumental stupidity, whose
d1ff1cult1es are largely the result of his
own vacancy of mind for it is quite APP
parent from the first that if he would
only display a little common sense all his
troubles could easily be averted
Apart from the stupidity Of the hero.
winch appears to- be necessary evil in
melodrama, '"The Little Outcast'' is an
entertaining production. It's minor char
acters are we'll drawn; it's story is plaus-
IDLY told, and it's incidents are sensational
enough to arouse a furore of delight
among the gods who sit on high and
who pass judgment upon such products of
the -wright's pen out of the abund-
ance OF their wisdom and experience
AS the newsboy Miss Blancke is most
HAPPY. She merges her personality in the
part and gives an artistic portrayal of
character type familiar to everybody.
The role is wholly unlike anything this
little actress has done in Minneapolis
heretofore. 1t is the direct antithesis of
Cedric Enrol in Little Lord Fauntleroy, y
part in which Miss Blancke made a pro-
nounced success here several years ago.
nor has it anything in common with the
many roles in society comedy which she
has assumed here.
The supporting company is above the
average. Thomas P. Holer gives a rare

clerk and Walter F. Harmon's villainy is
SO persuasive that the audience Kisses
him roundly. John r.. Nicholson strug-
giles to make the leading role interesting
but is too heavily handicapped The minor
roles are in good hands, and the interpo-
lated specialties please the "house.''

Funk, d. D.. LII. d. New York: Funk &
Wagnalls company. Price so cents.
DR.. Funk in this interesting study OF
the theory of evolution, which he seems
to accept as a verified hypothesis. holds
that science stops short of the truth when
it shuts its eyes to the evolution of the
natural man into the psychic state, the
spiritual exaltation which signifies the
second coming of Christ. He takes a
roseate view Of present tendencies, argu-
ing that the gravitation of the divisions
of the human race to each other through
facilities for INSTRUMENTATION, is pre-
liminary to the full recognition of Christ
and the kingdom of heaven by the world.
While there is deal Of talk about the
'.fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man." there is a distinct drifting away

OF men to recognize God in the affairs OF

1t is regrettable that this talented and
promising author did not live to complete
MS The Epic Of the Wheat" by the.
production of the third volume 'sfrhe
Wolf,'' the work upon which had been
commenced. In this second volume of the
trilogy the reader is brought into the
glowing and tumultuary arena Of the grain
pit in Chicago, where men struggle to ex-
tract profit from the fluctuations of wheat
either produced by artificial manipula ton
or natural causes; where fortunes are haz-
arded, lost and won. and men rush head
long to sudden death or nervous prostra-
ton by their rabid quest for wealth. Mr.,
Norris has introduced a strong love cpl
sode and has shown better than in his
previous books his power of dramatic de-
scription. The Dearborn girls are typical
American girls who got inextricably en-
tangled in the meshes Of wheat deal and
a collapsed corner Jadwin, who sue
ceeded in making Laura Dearborn his wife
and lost her money for her in the collapse
of his great wheat corner is a typical
Chicago Spectator, aesthetically arid, and
as to his wife suggesting Caliban and
Miranda. With an artist. a brokers' clerk
and Jadwin in love with her, Laura Dear
DOrn was neSltanC, .Self-QueStiOning, but
Jadwin had the cash and was successful
bull. SO when Mrs. Cressler asked herself
she really loved him. Laura said: Eyes.
II suppose must love him, or, as you
say, wouldn't have promised to marry
him." Later, when the Jadwin corner
broke, this same Laura was on the verge
Of abandoning her husband and running
off with the artist to Europe, but her
better nature pulled her out of the peril.
The title of the book indicates that it re-
lates to bulls and bears and their methods,
but the love story is intertwined with the
movements of the half crazy crowd about
the wheat pit. The author. in strong de-
scriptive language, shows the sins and
generally demoralizing influence of the
speculative mania. The chapter descrip-
tive Of Jadwin's last day on Change, as
a successful bull and his titanic struggle
to avert ruin is masterful piece Of

Harvesting tn. Sun is Not Strange.

Success: When we come to think of 1t
the Harvesting of the sun is not so very
stronge. In fact, we have had It in actual
use since the coming of ma upon the
earth, only indirectly. Without the sun
there would be nothing here-no men. no
life. Coal is >othing hut stored-up, bot
tied sunshine. The sunlight of a million
years ago produced forests. which. fall
ing, were buried in he earth and changed
into coal. So when We put coal In the
cook stove we may truthfully say that
we are boiling the kettle with million
year-old sunshine. Similarly there would
be no waterfalls for us to chain and con-
vert into electricity, as we have chained
Niagara. If the sun did not evaporate the
water OF the sea. take 1t up in clouds and
afterward empty the clouds in rain on
the mountain tops, whence the water
tunblcs down again to the sea. So no
wind would blow without the sun to work
changes in the air. In short. therefore.
we have been using the sunlight all these
years. hardly knowing it, but not direct
ly. Think of the tremendous amount of
neat which comes to the earth from the
sum-! Every boy has tried using a burn
ing glass. which. focusing q few inches
OF the suns rays. will set fire to paper

ST. Petersburg. Sept. 26.-The Rus
sian government has ISSUED an official
note reiterating tina the attitude of
the powers in regard to the Austro-
Russian reform scheme for Macedonia
is unchanged, and that consequently
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria can expect
support from any quarter in the event
of open or secret resistance to the
scheme.
The government. after pointing out
that the suggested reforms were at the
. outset attended with good results, con-
tinues:
These. however, did not satisfy he
Macedonian committees which have
! sprung up in the Slav states. The
probability, which had become appar-
ent, that the Christian population
would calm dow under the influence
of the reforms. deprived these commit
tees of all favorable ground for realiz-
' alton of their evolutionary plans.
While proclaiIning that their object was
protection of their co-religionists
against Turkish oppression, these com
mittees in reality seek to attain their
selfish aim of modifying the admins
trativc system in the province so as to
' convert it into IA Bulgarian Macedonia,
to the detriment of the rights and priv
ileges of other Christian peoples whose
interests are equally dear to orthodox
Russia. AS the leaders found no sup
port among the non-Bulgarian element
in Macedonia, they eXerted themselves
TO raise a general insurrection by cruel
outrages n terrorism in order to
hinder the introduction of projected re-
forms. Cnhappily, IN spite OF the pre-
cautions of the Sofia government tho
Macedonian agitation has spread con-
siderably in Bulgaria itself, finding
support among those who have mis-
takenly reckoned that the outbreak
thus caused would compel Russia IL
alter her program and proclaim hersel
the champion of the untsaliZable plan:
of the leaders of the revolution.

Russia gave incessant warnings ha:
