orpheum-Modern Vaudeville.

Broad humor-very- broad some of it
marks the bill at the Orpheum this week.
Almost every act is a mirth provoker.
altho the musical features are above the
average. Some of the entertainers pro-
woke smiles thru merit and some when
they do not wish to. At any rate the
bill affords smiles, sardonic in spots, but
smiles the mission of the enter
tainer is to make the world laugh.
The bill opens with the five Vernons,
who are successful in pretentious selec-
lions on the xylophone. The act is worthy
from musical standpoint and well
staged. Wynne Winslow, soprano, is a
Minneapolis favorite and last night her
splendid voice was at its best. Her sing

no effort to indulge in any tear-saueez-

CONCERT WAS RANK
Novelty Program Nets st. Paul Church
Tidy SUM.

.H 81
THE young people Of a ST. Paul Metho-
dist church gave a novel entertainment
last week and raised over $35 for their
treasury: A concert had been planned.
but no one seemed to want to- take part
ins the program, SO a clever young
woman proposed a plan which was
rnantn1ously adopted and notices for "a
'coneertewere sent out. =.~-
The church was well filled on the ap-
pointed evening, and after a social half
hour, the young woman who was respon-
sfble for the new idea, rose and stated
that she wanted to sing, and was will
ing to pay cents for the privilege
When she began to sing an old-time
popular ditty, another member of the So
ciety offered to pay 2 cents If the singer
was told to stop. The singer offered 8
cents for the right to continue, but her
opponent Increased his offer to 4 cents
and the song ceased.
The audience was quick to grasp the
meaning OF the byplay, and when
a young man paid cents for
the right to recite '"The Charge
OF, the Light Brigade" an elderly man
offered a quarter to have him stop The
bidding was lively, and finally it cost the
young man dollar to continue his reci-
tation. Piano solos, songs, recitations
and dialog were given with more or less
opposition, and then refreshments were
served.

A Slender Hope.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
wonders whether the great rate debate
is not likely to. split the republican
party just as the financial issue split
the democracy. 1t calls attention to
the situation where "the leading cham
pions of the cause Of gold as well as
the most forceful advocates Of the Tree
coinage Of : silver were democrats.
While Reed, Mckinley, Harrison and
others were trying to effect some sort
of compromise, Cleveland, Carlisle,
Cochran and others were openly advo-
eating the gold standard, and Bryan,
Bland, Turpie and others were spread
ing the gospel Of free silver Every
one knows the result. ~. ...--.
The Commercial Appeal thinks it has
found parallel in the division Of the
republican majority in the senate on the
rate bill and anticipates-or it might
be better to say hopes-for the dlsln-
tegration of the republican party on
this issue. ~ So -
The hope has very slender founda.
tion. The republican party is not di-
vided on the rate bill. = Mr.. Aldrich,
Mr.. .Elkins, Mr.. Foraker and those who
follow them are, not the republican par
ty. Mr.. Aldrich may be supported by
his own people in the little state OF
Rhode Island, but Mr.. Foraker has al
ready been called down by the legisla'
ture of Ohio. There is a revolt of a
very dangerous kind against Elkins IN
West Virginia, and nowhere is there
any evidence that the senators who are
fighting the rate: bill represent the sen
timent Of their own people at home

I publicans in the senate their seats, but

The Two Americas.

We are accustomed to think of the

isphere as complete. But it is not well
to ignore the Spanish speaking peoples
growing>u to the south Of us. Hubert
M. Skinner in the National Magazine,
says:
The Spanish speaking world is much
larger than the Frenchspeaking, and
nearly as large as the German-speaking.
There are perhaps fifty millions Of peo-
pie in all who make use Of the French
who speak German in some of it's forms.
There are probably sixtv-five millions
or more who speak SPANISH: and If we
include with them these who use the
closely related Portuguese, the number
will be about eighty five millions.
B In this neo-Spanish world the birth
rate is larger than that of the United
States.
Buenos Aires, in the Argentine Repub-

President Eliot Of Harvard opposes
dividends of stock because it, is a secret
device to increase the profits Of the
stockholders. A substantial objection to
the payment Of dividends in stock is
that in the case of public service cor
porations it increases the capital upon
which returns may be claimed without
at the same time increasing the eff
cheney Of the service. It ought to be
impossible for public service corpora
tions to increase capital stock without
selling it outright and putting ,the pro.
ceeds into the equipment of the plant.

handed its local Sunday contemporary
yesterday. While it has never failed
to at least hold its own in the news
field, it scored scoop yesterday
which will "hold the envious opposi-
tom for little while, at least. The
most sensational, and in some respects
the most important, piece of news IN
the west for many a long day was the
confession Of one Of the tools OF the
Western Federation of Miners in their
anarchistic campaign against nom
union men and against officers of the
law in Idaho and Colorado. This con
fession was given exclusively in I h e
ournal yesterday, no other paper in
Minnesota having any part Of it. We
shall probably hear nothing more fol
the present about the comparative mer-
it's of news service enjoyed by T h

Arhalf-wild creature cast from winters lap;
A vagrant reveler in natures courts;
With wind -disheveled hair she wildly sports
With twig and Dough, surcharged with rising
sap. s E- gS. $500 =.
In scant and freely flowing raiment drest,
Her slim brown arms uphung to greet the rain,
She screams her challenge to the silent plain
And makes of every day crazy Jest!
She PUSHES Merely down the hillside steep,
And dashes thru forsaken forest aisles
Where last years leaves lie deep in somber
piles,
And gaunt -limbed trees their endless vigils keep
And so for days her reckless reign extends:
Teased and tormented Nature groans outright;
Until at last, the madcap thing takes flight,
And gentle April comes to make amends.

Now closing his second term on the rail-
road and warehouse commission, G. +.
Staples has announced that he would be
pleased with a denomination for four years
more So far no one has entered the race
against him, and he seems likely to go
into the convention with a clear field, as
he did in 1902. The man from Dakota
county has many friends who have been
talking him for governor, and If he chose
to enter for the blue ribbon he would

has disposed Of that posi-
bility, however.
/ Mr.. Staples has been criticised by a
good many people for the inactivity of the
railroad commission, but it must be re-
membered that he is only one of three
and If he undertook to run the
commission would find himself outnum-
bered. He has often favored more radi-
cal action than the other members have
stood for, and it is understood that he
only agreed to the recent schedule fol-
reduced merchandise rates after he had
stood out vainly for a reduction to the
Iowa basis.

line from the capital city. He was edu-

Leopold Getting Scared.

Our cable dispatches report that
King Leopold of Belgium is complaining
Of ',unjust accusations concerning his
administration of affairs in the Congo
country and that he would like to be
relieved of his responsibilities there.
The attention of the world has been
directed very pointedly during the last
few months to conditions in the Congo
Free State, and. the indignation
of the Christian world is being aroused
in such way as to bode no good for
Leopold's control of that country.
: It is quite natural that he' should be
anxious to be relieved of his response
bility in that connection, as public SEN
timent is becoming thoroly aroused by
reports of the unparalleled atrocities
committed there. Two reasons may be
fairly assigned for his anxiety to- let
Co. 1t may be that he is anxious to
sell because afraid Of intervention by
the powers which placed him in control,
or it may be that he has SO robbed the
country and destroyed its productive
power as to have approached a point
beyond which the holding will not be
profitable. Anything which would get

thing. 5z5. " 4, Z.
