HE'S NOT A PLAY PIRATE
Dick Ferris Declares That "Tom,

Dick Ferris, manager Of the Ferris

1t was declared In the criticism that
Tom. Dick and Harry was no more or

country by Charles Dickson some years

believe in play piracy and it would be the
height of folly, apart from any sentimental
reasons, for me to indulge in it, since a
play pirate lays himself open to the opera

standing with those who handle PLAYS for

Petition to the Pres
ident.

Effort to Modify Sale
- Order.

Lieutenant Governor Ray Jones will
give dinner at the eWst hotel to-mor-
row evening with the members Of the
state senate as guests Governor Van
SAINT and other state officials will be pres
ent. It will be the first meeting Of the
senators since the legislature adjourned

sixty three have accepted.
The dinner Is given at this time to bring
the senator's together and give them. an
opportunity to sign g petition, to Presi7
dent Roosevelt asking him to modify the
order Of the land department regarding
the cutting Of pine sold this fall from
the Cass Lake reservation. According to
Washington dispatches to-day, the de-
partment has already decided to extend
the time for cutting, but it is figured that
the petition can do no harm anyway.
The Duluth News Tribune to-day makes
a vitriolic attack on the lumbermen for
trying to get the order modified, and says
they are attacking the Morris bill The
Duluth paper says that to give the log
gers more time will delay the settlement
Of the reservation, and injure Duluth.
According to the News-Tribune the Jones
dinner will be a feast such as Luculus
never dreamed Of. That ought to insure
a good attendance.

DREAM OF DELIGHT

Show Described the
Scene.
Show Will Be Open This Evening
Music by Journal News

Nothing but a. section Of a rainbow
could be more brilliant than the great
room IN the Dayton building in which the
flower show is being held The show
demonstrated to the entire satisfaction Of
everybody hours before that a summer
flower show for amateur growers met q
crying need.
Probably nobody who visited the show
this afternoon had ever before seen SO
many nor such beautiful sweet peas. The
exhibitors began to arrive before Z a. m.
and as fast as the entries were checked
and labels given out the exhibitors began
to arrange them and before noon there
were enough at work to make a large
audience.
Collection Of Mrs. Wilcox.
Probably the largest single exhibition
Is that of Mrs. John F. Wilcox Of Wild
hurst, Minnetonka, who has eighty-e
vases or sweet peas, including thirty-hve
varieties. Nasturtiums fill five great
| bowls on the huge table devoted wholly to
| the Wilcox flowers and splendid lots of
gladious, calendulas, asters and verbenas
fill out the collection.
Several Of the collections in Class One,
which calls for the best and largest col
lection Of sweet peas, almost fill whole
| tables. The collections of named varieties
are not so large or numerous, but will be
valuable to gardeners desiring to improve
their stock but unfamiliar with the names
There are also whole tables filled with
nastustiums i'll their dazzling orange and
gold shades. p.
For fine individual blooms the gladi-
olus and dahlias take the palm and the
displays of these to many will be reve-
lation. E

where to see them, but never supposed
that a flower show could be such dream

the tables absorbing al lof' the beauty and
fragrance about to the fullest extent,
and she voiced the feeling of all the Wis.,

Music Adds to Pleasures.
"a To the charm of color, fragrance and
arrangement Of the flowers was added
stirring music by The journal Newsboys's
band. After hours of lowering over. the

CITIZENS ADVANCE CASH
They Will Pay for Moving the Fire
Plugs Along Park

, A special meeting Of the council com.
mittee on waterworks was held this
morning to consider the Park avenue
problem. BY narrowing the, roadway to
SO feet the street fire hydrants are left
10 feet in from the curb line, making
them difficult for the steamers to reach
without cutting UP the boulevard.
AS there are twenty seven hydrants. and
four stand pipes for street sprinkling, the
expense Of changing them to the new curb
line would be considerable. Property
owners are willing to advance the money
to have the work done this season and
SO the committee ordered the hydrarts
moved. The stand pipes were ordered to
the side streets.
