There never was political platform

Lake Harriet Concerts,

Popularity will be the keynote OF the
band concert season, which will be in
augurated at the Lake Harriet pavilion
roof. Sunday, June "a, by the Oberhoffer
orchestral band. Not only will Conductor
Emil Oberhoffer and his symphony play
ers devote the great majority Of the pro-
grams to the playing Of popular. selec
tions, but the board OF, park commission
ers has also provided for a schedule Of
admission to the roof which practically
throws 1t open to the possessor of the
most slender Of purses. One wing Of the
roof, seating 1000, will be for the exolu-
sive accommodation of those buying To-
cent tickets. This is an almost unprece-
dented price Of admission to the Lake
Harriet band concerts, and Is graphically
expressive Of the park commissioners
determination to make these concerts
the peoples concerts in every sense Of
the word. The other wing, covered by
the canvas canopy, will be for ,the pur-
chasers Of 25-cent tickets, but will offer
superior accommodations only in the
matter of covering which will protect
from the evening dewss or possibly rains.
Mr. Oberhoffer and his band are now
having almost daily rehearsals, and
promise a., series of performances even
more brilliant than those Of last summer.

That the Lyteum has lost none Of its
popularity with the masses was apparent
yesterday, when two immense audiences
thronged the theater to witness a per-
Torrance Of Monte Cristo" by Ralph
Stuart and his excellent company. The
play is familiar to Minneapolis playgoers,
and as 1t has not been presented here in
years, it was received with great ap-
plause. Ralph Stuart Is an ideal Count
of Monte Cristo. The various members
Of his company were also well bestowed
in the drama. The tremendous scenic
effects are finely managed, particularly
the ocean scene off the Chateau DIFF
where Edmond Dantes cries "The world
| is mine.'' Monte Cristo'' shows Ralph
Stuart in part with which his name and
fame are chiefly associated. and the large
audiences which welcomed him gave an
earnest Of what he may expect in "By
Right of Sword" which will be the bill
next week. The performance as whole
will be reviewed In Tuesdays Jour

| In January, 1905, the CORRESPONDENT OF a.
New York newspaper secured from the
French sibyl2 (Mne. Couedon)- a fore,
cast Of the events Of the coming year
says the June .Bookman. The forecast
was duly published in the columns of the
| newspaper. In addition to a number Of
other prophesies, among which was an
intimation of the revolutionary outbreak
| in Russia, was a striking and somewhat
detailed prediction of the fate which was
impending over an American city, the
name Of which, however, was not given.
The toppling over Of tall buildings was
graphically described, and particular
stress was laid upon the disturbances
which were to take place beneath the
surface of the earth. Apparently, and in
fact obviously, the fate of San Francisco
had in some way projected Itself within
the range Of this womans second sight.
To be sure, the fulflment of the prophecy
came four months later than the end of
the period to which Mile. Coue-
don referred; but most. prophets, from
palmists up, refuse to be. bound by very
definite chronology. They see things
happening in the future, but they sell

that We sit down In some cool spot for

"Colored Citizen" which was edited
by my amiable and versatile friend,

and young white lady and gentleman
were also of the party. When the game
was called, by common consent Mr..
Douglass led off, using the mallet with
which he worked as caulker when
slave in the shipyards Of Baltimore. He
played with the usual skill, and he
seemed to enjoy the discontinue of his
antagonists whenever they shot wide
of the wickets in their zeal to catch up
with him. Once he caught me mapping

beautiful lawn in the rear of his house.

him; but he wouldn't permit it. We

expert croquet player and he received
the acknowledgment with smile
which seemed to say: Il know the
