9s Fifth avenue. New York, Cynthia w

The guests at Jewett Lodge at Lind
strom are having, a pleasant time and
enjoying a good rest, even tho natures
sunshine has not been very kind to them.
One of the delightful features Of the out
ing work is the ouickness with which
those who are guests at the cottages
grasp the sunshine spirit and pass 1t
on Nearly every one finds some act
to do for others to show the appreciation
of what the society is aiming to accom-
plish. One woman who is now at the
lodge has walked miles into the country
and obtained the promise of milk and
fresh vegetables from the farmers. The
society wishes it were only possible that
all whose generosity has made the work
possible could see and know the sincere
appreciation Of those who for one week,
at least, are able to lay aside care. One
woman, with tears running down, her
cheeks, said it was the first real rest she
had ever had. The pleasant railroad trip,
the comfortab BILE, home-like surroundings
of the cottages brought a change into all
their lives that they will not forget. The
society will be glad to hear of any wor-
thy women and children who need a
weeks outing. -.-.

Mr.. Otto Peterson opines that Edison
never said what he is reported to have
said about radiunl or else he is very
Ignorant on the subject. It does not
seem as tho Mr.. Peterson had exhausted
the horns Of the dilemma on which the
unfortunate wizard Of Menlo Park may
be impaled. He may. not have said it
and know all about s,radium; he may
have said it and know nothing about
radium. Then again he may have said
it and not know thing about radium,
and he may not have said it and still
know nothing Of radiunl. There is the
further possibility that he may have
said it as sort Of scientific Joke; Mr..
Edison has invented many things, and
he may have invented this remark as
horse on Mr.. Peterson and others who
cannot see into the interior of his brain

The Growth of Minneapolis.

s Minneapolis is "gettin a big girl
now.'' While we have all been i'm
pressed with. the wonderful growth of
the city during the past three or four
years, probably not many Minneapoli-
tans are prepared. for the handsome ,fg-
ures totaleds up by the census enumera-
tors and giyenssto the public thru, I he
j urn a ~ today. We have all real
ized5that There was an immense amount
of building going on; that new, indus lt
tries and new business establishments
were coming in at a remarkably rapid
rate; but we have probably failed to
realize that all this growth in building
and business meant such an increase in
population as we are now able to show.
The two, however, go together, and the
grand total ofss$$257, 500 for Minneapolis
is not inconsistent with business devel-
opment Of the city The only, thing Is Is
that. we haven't realized here hoWsssfast

growth, too is that it has C onle without

outcome sof the position which Mime

financial center Of this great and grow

not kept pace with the growth of the

July Dividends Are Large.

80 one Of the important periodlc lnd y
cations Of the condition OF the country
is found in the interest and dividend
payments that come at regular inter inter-.
walls. Altho corporations may vary IN
method of distribution to stockholders,
with reference both to reserve nam
tanned an and dates Of dividend payments,
nearly all quarterly and semi Ia annual llll
disbursements come in together ON
July. /, hence the lineup atr;that time
is verv representative. It is highly
favorable to note that the grand total
for distribution today will run to
about $40, Oo0, 900, or, approx irnately
SIS 100000 more than at this time a
year ago,
The dividends on railway stocks, at
$4,000, 900, will show a moderate IN
crease, and other items will make slight
changes or hold stationary. Principal
gains are the interest payments by rail
roads, which will total $62,750,000
against $50 ,ooo, 900 a year ago, and the
dividends on stocks Of industrial COM
panies amounting to $28, 800, 900 against
So, 420, 900. 3
This gain Of over 81 100000 in the
industrial dividends is the most signif
cant feature Of the exhibit, fort shows

"Midsummer Nights Dream"-"U"
Campus. s..

The performance of Midsummer
Nights Dream on any stage is dra
matte event much appreciated by lovers.
of Shakspere, and it's presentation by
Ben Greet's woodland players last night
on the university campus was SO distinct
a novelty as to give a kind of curious
interest to this that was wanting in
reference ito the 'As :You%LilEe It." The
wildwood atmosphere gave a glamor of
reality to- the fairy reNels and tricks of
fantasy that the most skilful painted
stage setting with it's clever articles
never succeeds in producing.
The attendance last night did not equal
that of the first, night owing to the damp
condition of the ground and, to the lower
ing clouds, but still was large; The play
began very promptly and before the first
scene was finished a light sprinkle fell,
but the fairy spell had touched the audi
ence and they stuck to their places and
the play went on without interruption.
This weather courage was rewarded by
the passing of the shower and no more
drops fell until almost the close and the
audience was able; to get home without
any serious WettinG.
The audience comprised the literary
and social aristocracy of the city and the
complete success of the evening under
such threatening conditions speaks elo-
quently of the appreciation of the city, for
dramatic productions of high artistic and
literary merit such as Mr.. Greet stands
for s.ss$ 4. .ss5 q So 4. s5si
The contrast between the merry elves
and the full-booded human characters of
the drama is one that throws each into,
high relief and lit affords. some of the
finest drama ice opportunities of the play.
These were skilfully seized by Mr.. Greet
and his players and the accent was strong
but delicate. All threw themselves into
their parts with an abandon that swept
away every trace of conscious art and
1T was this sylvan spirit Of the elves and
the complete absorption in their loves and
their mummery by the people that dis
tinguished the production.
Except in it's exquisite poetry and it's
artful dramatic construction the play
might conceivably be "a modern burlesque
with its broad, rollicking buffoonery. Mr..
Greet chose the part of Bottom the
weaver playing the grotesque role with
careful restraint without sacrificing any
B of its drollery. The exactions of the part
of Puck are SO nearly snperhuman that to
body forth ones imaginings Of the part Is
an ungrateful task, which Hazel Ridge
performed well but still left one not quite
satisfied. In grace, tricky sportiveness
and delightful reading the remaining
fairy parts were well taken, altho one
could have wished for more dancers and
greater attention to the musical posi-
bilities. The Pyramus and Thisbe play
within a play was deliciously funny, all
of the parts being well taken. The COM
pany was admirably cast and its reading
was notably fine IN. S. A. Us

Washington, July John F Stevens
who, after a long and successful career.
IN railroad engineering and construc-
tion work, resigned the second vice
presidency of the Rock Island system
last month to become railway expert
OF the Philippine commission, has been
appointed chief engineer of the Panama
canal, to succeed John F. Wallace. His
salary will be $40, 900, which is $4,000
chief engineer and canal commissioner,
but for the present, at least, he will
not be given the almost autocratic au-
thority that was delegated to Mr.. Wal
lace. 1t is probable that later on Mr..
Stevens will be appointed on the COM
mission and made a member of the ex-
ecutive committee Of three, as was Mr..
Wal1ace,- and $500 a year may then
be added to his salary.
Promises to Stay.
Mr.. Stevens has given an unqualified
promise that he will remain until the
canal is completed, without regard to
any Inducements which may be held
out to him by railroad or other inter
tests, and that he will not retire unless
the. condition Of his health, resulting
from continued residence on Che 18TH
mus, should force him to resign, in
which event the commission will be
given ample time in which to select a
new man.

There are several things that might

stead Of announcing dime socials, might
have the clerk read out the stock quo

Instead Of taking up collection, he
might make a blind pool on the total
attendance. Many people would, of
course, come in late and thus create a
pleasing uncertainty as to the exact
number up to the very end. The men,
in order to win the pot, might take to
