AT THE TFIEATERS
1Ilou-"Ther waIfa,4 paradise. !,

-
4 Attic Howard Hall, as John Holman in
'''The Waits Paradise, . pleases his audi
ence. he. must yield the lion s share of
applause to his leading lady, Little Baby
Violet, aged 2 years and 5tmOnths The
audience roundly applauds Baby Violet s
every appearance, but when a recall is
given and she toddles out to the center Of
the stage and stands kissing her hands to
the audience until the curtain hides her
from view, the crowd goes wild.
Tested the old principle which tells
how to prove whether tn eF pudding Is
good, The Waits Paradise" is a: success.
To say that Ii it pleases the audience is
putting it mildly. While the piece is not
Of the highly sensational character, it is
full Of excitement and it's situations are
nearer to the natural than those Of the
average melodrama. The final scene, In
which Mr.. Hall PUSHES into the cage OF
the lions and rescues The baby.'is at least
a departure from the, ordinary methods
used to prove. the here's mett1e. f-s2.
Howard Hall Is always effective In the
leading character He is an actor OF
ability and evidently possesses much re-
serve power. He is5ably assisted Joseph
Lawrence as Preston Burns, and William
I. Flagg as Silas Smith, THE two villains
are strong. E. A. Locke as Uncle Bob
the owner Of the orphans home farm, Is
a big-hearted, good-natured old farmer
who speedily gets into the good graces Of
his audience. James Bryson, as Seth, the
genius of the orphan farm, is rather weak
Miss Villa, as Rose, and Minnie Barrie
as Carrie Christie, easily divide the hon
ors that come to the feminine contingent
| altho Helen Hyle, as Chloe colored girl
| is entitled to credit and her singing makes
| a hit. Harry G. Davis.

DEATH BY LAUDANUM
WALTER COWGIRL PENNED
VERSES BEFORE TAKING THE
FATAL DOSE.

Walter W. Cowgirl, son of G. W. Cow
gu, proprietor OF a restaurant at 407
Minnesota street, st. Paul, took his own
life yesterday by drinking laudanum.
His body was discovered in room of
the Reardon block. Dependency had
followed a disagreement with his; wife
and her desertion. The deceased was
26 years old and his intimates say that
they could not have guessed his sui
past few days.
A remarka BILE doggerel was found
near the body. It was in a sealed en-
velop addressed to Mrs. W. w. Cow
gill, New Richmond, Wis, and is all
the message left for his relatives and
friends: -
Here lies the man stiff and cold
Who tried to beat the whole world out OF
gold
Gold was his god, father and his friend,
And what he'd do for gold there was no
end.
1--WE spent a fortune once or twice
On Wimmon wine fast horses cards and
But this is the end and the grave grows
near
But never once have shed tear.
I sat and thought as the hearse went by
That some day would have to die
Then I'd take RE in the big black
hack
Out to the cemetery and I'd never come
back
So I've hustled and russled but never
tried to save
For I knew I loose 1t all when hit the
grave.
Marie you and Pa has killed me but there
is nobody just like you Sweetheart
to me goodbye.

Two Aspects Of Forest Reserves

The people Of Cass Lake and vicinity
are in favor Of forest reserves, but pre-
fer them located in some other section
of the country. At a recent mass meet
ing strong resolutions were adopted, urg-
ing that the 231 400 acres Of reservation
land set aside for forestry purposes be
reopened for settlement.
The solicitude Of the people Of Cass
Lake is only natural. The lands with
drawn from settlement are potentially
tributary to that village. If opened to
timber, bringing large immediate rev.
enue and furnishing employment to a
good many persons. They would then
be utilized, to some extent at least, for
agricultural purposes, adding to the pop
ulation Of that section.
That is one aspect Of the forestry
proposition. Its larger phases are well
treated in the recent message Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to congress. The mes
sage was read before the Cass Lake
mass meeting was held, but the presi-
dent, no doubt, had such protests in
mind when he penned the following:
| The forest reserve policy can be sue
cessful only when it, has the full support
of the people of the west. It can not
safely, and should not In any case, be
imposed upon them against their will
But neither can we accept the views Of
those whose only interest in the fores
is temporary; who are anxious to rear
! what they have not sown and then move
away, leaving desolation behind them
On the contrary, it Is everywhere and al
ways the interest. Of the permanent set

GAS KILLS THE ENGINEER
STUART p. WALLACE MEETS
DEATH AT THE PUMPING STA
TION AT LAKEWOOD CEMETERY.


Stuart P. Wallace, general caretaker
Of Lakewood cemetery, was found dead
in the pumping station at the cemetery
early yesterday morning. Wallace Is
wife went to the station to see why he
did not come home. A leak in the ex
haust pipe of the gasolene engine poured
stream Of gas into the room and an
autopsy showed that death had resulted
from asphyxiation.s
Wallace, who lived at l410 West Thir-
ty-sixth street, left his home Saturday
night to watch the pumping engine. It
is thought that he went to sleep in a
chair in front of the engine and that
when he awakened, the room was filled
with gas and he was so greatly affected
by it that he was unable to get into the
door. ...s
Wallace was IS years old and leaves

The good people Of Thief River Falls
are now rejoicing in the benefits OF COM
petition. The News of that village dilates
on the advantages that have accrued from
the entry Of an independent railroad, and
says:
Perhaps the most important thing is the
reduction in freight rates which the mer-
chants of the city are now receiving.
While the reductions in freight rates are
not so great as on express, which is Is
per cent, Is sufficient to make a saw
ing of many thousand dollars each yhu
to the people of Thief River Falls. And it
Is remarkable in how surprisingly short
time goods are now received from the
twin cities, and how much longer it use6
to take. Shippers have no trouble ir
getting cars just when they want them
! and as many. they need. 1t kind Of
makes us believe that competition is {
good thing for the people, at least, if not
for the railroads., and we hope the day
will never come when the 500 and .Grea
Northern are consolidated. =
| But just think how wasteful this com.
petition u.s. and how much better thu
railroads could serve the people If they
were working "in harmony"

GETS EXPERIENCED MAN
David Towers Joins Dick Ferris as Bus
mess Manager of Lyceum.

In securing David Towers as business
manager for the Lyceum theater, Dick
Ferris has retained the services Of a
man experienced in his work, and one
who has fine record Of managerial sue
cesses.
Mr.. Towers was associated with Neil
Burgess in the management Of "The
County Fair" one Of the most success
full productions Of late years. r., He later
starred Fay TempIeton thru one of her
most succe ssful seasons. s;1Afterwards he
was mana ger for Dan DAILY, Jennie Y ca
mems and George Fortescue.
He then became co-manager Of the
famous Park theater in BostoZ, with
Jack Crabtree. He later joined the
Klaw & Erlanger forces and was bust
ness manager for "Ben Hur,' having
special charge of the great chariot race
scene.
Retiring from fttBen Hur,' Mr.. Tow
ers went to St. Louis and there had
several valuable concessions. At the
close of the exposition he came directly
to Minneapolis.

The Gear and the Reformers.

The car has referred the memorial of
the zemstvo reformers to the considera-
ton of the imperial council and the
bodies is there any real inclination to
Endorse popular participation in the
governing and law-making power.
The car, while opposing the demand
for a two-chamber national legislature,
Is reported to have signifed his ap-
prevail Of some features of the forty
two. demands of the reformers, who
are certainly, from the American stand
point, we'll within the bounds of reason.
They want a bill of rights, a parliament
elected as to it's upper house by the
provincial and municipal zemstvos, and
as to it's lower house by secret manhood
suffrage ballot, while they call for a
supreme court to interpret and safe
guard the constitution, and RESPONSE
BILE ministry and real self government
by the zemstvos.
II It is not known yet which Of the
propositions is favored by the car,
whose present prerogatives are some
what closely clipped. He will find
1t very difficult to decide just how
far to go meeting the reform demands.
Most Of his advisers tell him that the
zemstvo movement is viciously revolu-
tionary and that the peasants are put in
q false position by interruptions lead
ers in the towns and cities, and know
not what the reform demands mean.
E Perhaps the car would do we'll to
summon a national assembly, face his
people and find out directly from them
what they really want. In France, the
body known as the states general kept
the idea Of popular rights alive As
early as the year 1902, the urban popu
! lation was represented and brought
into public life, and in the states gen
( eral Of 1884, convoked by Charles VIII.
all the provinces were represented, the
rural population, the peasantry, entered
upon public life and the third estate
entered the formative period. The
later French kings tried to stave off thu
coming storm by sitting upon the
+ barometer, but they made miscalcula
ton and Louis XVI. had to summon
4 the states general. The oppressed
third estate turned itself into con
stltuent, and then into a legislative as
sembly, discovering that it was the ma
tion, which was always paying taxes 70,
the pleasures of royalty and was moth
ing, when it ought to j be everything
The revenge Of the oppressed nation
was made terrible with blood and in
humanity, and, if it did not bring tt
France the rational liberty her bes
citizens sought, the atmosphere wa
clearer and Frances education for
republican regime commenced.

lace tells us about the educative infu
