Uncle 81 Haskins.

The forthcoming production of
"Uncle 81 Haskins" promises to be
one of the real treats of the season.
1t contains all the elements that go
to make the successful play Of today,
without those Objectionable features
so often found. and against which
intelligent theatre goers rebel. In
"Uncle ST Haskins" we have four
act rural comedy drama of the modern
school. 1t is clean, bright, full Of
comedy and pathOs and a thoroughly
wholesome play, and while "Uncle
81" has many quaint lines and comedy
situations, there are many scenes Of
genuine dramatic intensity, for there is
plenty of heart interestthroughout its
four acts. The characters are allnatur-

A Little History.

The Two Harbors News recently
published clipping from its issue Of
May 20, 1891, which will prove of in
terest to many of our readers as re-
lating to the ball game played here
on the Sunday in question: The item
says:
TON Martin pitched a game of
ball at Ely Sunday-that is, he pitched
as long as a man could be found with
nerve sufficient to occupy any of the
territory between him and the catch
er. The game was sbetween the
Ely's and the Duluth Whalebacks.
The weather was favorable to Toms
pitching, the heavens weeping pro-
fusely. There is always more or less
weeping when Tom pitches. The
first Whaleback stood up before him
with look of confidence. and deter
mination enough to swipe the ball
somewhere over about Tower. Right
after Tom.let go the ball anguish and
profanity succeeded confidence, etc.
The ball was deeply buried somewhere
in his surplus avoirdupois and lie was
carried off and the doctors went to
probing therefor. The next man 'ap-
preached the box timidly. He didn't
last as long as the other invalid.
The umpire then called the game,
and Tom retired with glorious rec
ord for striking out men. If St. Paul
should have an ambition to secure an
occasional game they might send up
here and secure the man to help
them out"

PLEASANT EVENING.
Spent with Capt. and Mrs. Chas
Trezona Saturday

Saturday being the anniversary OF
the birth OF Mrs. Chas. Trezona, a
party of friends assembled at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Grab
owsky on that evening and in body
went to the Trezona residence for the
purpose of surprising Mrs. Trezona.
The surprise was most thorough
but all were made welcome. After
the first greetings were over. tables
were placed and progressive euchre
held the attention of the guests for
several hours. Fifteen games were
played, Mrs. James Moonan winning
the ladies prize and VIM. Olds the
gentleman's. A most delicious lunch
was served during the evening to
which all did due justice with the
exception of Mr.. Moonan who
claimed his appetite was poor. Those
acquainted with the gentleman can
vouch for the statment as it is claimed
his appetite is on par with his play

came within ten games of winning
the prize.
During the evening Mrs. Trezona
was further surprised with the gift Of
a most handsome case OF sterling
silver tableware containing in the
neighborhood of $50 pieces, gift by
Capt. Trezona and the children,
Those present were Messrs. and

dispersed. During the evening sew

Rainy Lake Railway.

A new deal between p. Mcdonnell,
general contractor for the extension
of the Duluth. Rainy. Lake & Winni-
peg, and the company has been made.
The owners of the road will be asso-
ciated with Mr.. Mcdonnell in the
work hereafter, and 1t is said that
they have made a combination that
will be of assistance to both in COM
pleting the big undertaking in a COM
paratively short time. The company
is very anxious to have the extension
completed to Rainy River by January
1, and it is understood that fear Of
unexpected delays on account Of pro-
longed wet weather, scarcity of men,
or from some other cause has led to
the Encouragement.
The railroad company will take
charge of the construction in gen.
eral way. and Mr.. Mcdonnell contin-
ues to be interested in the contract.
The work of building the extension
is now well under way. Vast quantl-
ties of supplies and large number Of
teams, scrapers and other equipment
have been distributed on the line Of
work. 1t is understood that the
Rainy Lake road hasplans to build a
new town at PctlseFsS Point on Rainy
river. 1t will be rival to Interna-
tional Falls.

The Editor and the Doctor.

If an editor makes mistake he has
to apologize for il, but il a doctor
makes mistake be buries it. If the
editor makes one there is a law suit,
swearing and the smell OF sulphur,
but if the doctor makes one there is a
funeral, cut flowers and the smell OF
varnish. A doctor can use word a
mile long without knowing what ii
means, but il the editor uses it he
has to spell it. If doctor goes to see
another mans wife, he charges for
his visit, but if an editor goes to see
another mans wife. he gets charge
OF buckshot.
When a doctor gets drunk its a case
of Overcome by heat" and il he dies
it is heart trouble. When the editor
gets drunk, its case of too much
booze, and if he dies its case Of de-
lirium tremens. Any old college can
make a doctor. An editor must be

A doctor must also be born not

miles has been built TO the mine over
which shipments are being made. The
mine will ship $50, Oo0 tons this season.
It's product is consigned to Pickands,
Mather & Co., Of Cleveland. A. B.
Coates, of Virginia, is the manager.
The Adrlatic, just west OF the track
at Mesaba station, is another new
mine which is being provided with
trackage. and which will enter the
list of the shippers soon.
The new field will be watched with
interest by mining men, but it prom
ises to make good. For years more or
less exploration has been going on in
that section, but because of the i'm
preston that there was no ore at any
point edging on the Vermilion and
Western Mesaba ranges, it has been
sort of half heartedsinspection. Now
that acual producers are opened, it
will be exploited with renewed vigor,
and it will not besurprising if the

predatory tinanciers would be anus
ing were it net for the serious reflec-
lions cast upon the legitimate mining
industry in the minds OF investors
who once taken in are persuaded that
the terms mining and three-card
monte are synonymous. Nearly every
decade since the California days Of

that in each OF these bOomS the sep

for boom times are his years Of plenty.
At present the promoters are de-

guard to distinguish the many good

to sprout with mushroom rapidity
about any legitimate enterprise. New

Questionable Prom otion.

Many people apparently have an
infatuation for gambling in absurdly
cheap mining stocks, and take flyer
of this kind as often as their resources
will allow, says Mines and Mining.
The death recently OF an Illinois
banker disclosed the fact that he was
the owner OF l27, 900 shares of stock in
various wildcat mining propositions
all OF which the court ordered sold
for the sum of 800. This is but one Of
the many similar examples that can
be recalled by every experienced min
ing man, all of which illustrate p. Il.
Barnum's theory that people like to
be humbugged.
Following the law of supply and
demand, this class Of spectators has
given rise to what is known as the
separator" promoter; that is, one
who as occasion requires calls himself
a broker, fiscal agent, or what not,
but who in reality lives by separating
people from their money by question
able methods. Naturally there are
several kinds of promoters, bad and
indifferent, and in justice to those
promoters who are an honor to the
mining profession, they must not be
confused with the "separators." A
recent writer truly said: 1.-The pro-
moter who brings mining opportunit-
les and capital together on legitimate
lines. giving both the mining prop

Fraulein Krupp's Bridal Outfit.

rrom the new 1Ork 6uns
Virtues in one generation become sins in
the next. The contrast between Kaiser
Wilhelms modern" world power Germany
and the delightful patriarchal fatherland
Of his respected grandfather is shown strik-
ingly by the wrath Of the honest trades
people Of Essen and Of Berlin at the Krupp
girls and their wedding garments. The rich
est heiresses in Germany are blamed for
taking the bread from the poor mans
mouth.
It seems that Fraulien Bertha Krupp Is
old fashioned enough to have made her own
clothes. In the days before the war with
France, before Germany became the great
people," and that time is not beyond the
German girl did that. She was trained to
be that best Of all German products, the
Deutsche hausfrau. A decent amount OF
school learning, proper dose Of religion,
the household were instilled into her, and
above all a mastery Of the art or science
of German cooking. for the bride who could
not exhibit within a reasonable time a we'll
fattened mann" as proof Of her skill in the
kitchen felt disgraced.
AS soon as the small girls fingers could
manage the needle the bolt Of linen was
bought, and she set to work on her bridal
outfit. Sheets, tablecloths, napkins, the
many garments that are none of mans
business. were made and stored away In
great quantities during the long years Of
maidenhood against the day when the In
evitable should turn up. Precious linen heir
looms were added, sewn by grandmothers
and great-grandmothers when they were
girls. When the wedding day came the
bride was ready with linen sewn by her
own hand that should last for the whole
prospective household SO long as she lived.
Society. high and low, demanded it. and the
bridegroom was less essential to the cere-
mony than the store Of linen.
The KruppS held to the traditions It was
the old-time German thoroughness and
thrift that built up the great steel works
at Essen and brought in the millions. Re
CARELESS of their fortune, the children Of
the family were taught trades and the
girls were trained as German maidens
Of old were. They wake up now to dis
cover that Germany has progressed that q
universal custom has become eccentric and
that girls who have millions have no right
to make their own underclothes, but must
spend their money to encourage trade.
