UnIque-PoIIte Vaudeville.

The most daring and thrilling vaudeville
act that has been seen in Minneapolis for
some time is presented by the two Greggs

with wonderful speed and accuracy, and
the performance is attended by danger

Louis Bates, young man scarcely out
of his teens, gives some exceedingly clever
Representations and character studies, and
his imitation of the Bowery girl was orig
inal and funny. He incidentally gives a
short "monolOg that is a great relief from
many such numbers that have afflicted
lovers of vaudeville. One of these afflic-
tions is the supposed tramp comedy act
Of Edward De Meyer. Some practical
joker must have told him he was a come
dian and he took him at his word. His
act is neither refined nor funny and it's a
puzzle to find out how he came to be
placed on the program. He is a good
dancer, however, and could give an ex-
celent act in that line. -.-.' = F.

of the toilers, as varied as the occupa-
lions in the hive of specialized indus
tries. And then he takes the Lithuan-
ians to work in the sausage factory:
"There was never the least atten-
ton paid to what was cut up for rsau-
sage; there would come all the way
back from Europe old sausage that
had been rejected, and that was mouldy
and white-it would be dosed with
borax and glycerin, and dumped into
home consumption. There would be
meat that had tumbled out on the floor,
in the dirt and sawdust, where the
workers had tramped and spit I'M
counted billions of consumption germs.
There would be meats stored in great
piles in rooms; and the water from
ieaky roofs would drip over it, and
thousands of rats would race about on
it. 1t was too dark in these storage
places to see well. These rats were
poisoned bread out for them; they
would die and then rats, bread and
meat would go into the hoppers to-
gether. This is no fairy story, and no

Life and LIQUOR.

ssHuman life,'' said, public prose
cutor7 recently, ":is about the cheap
est thing in Chicago.' -: ~<.-'."%
Upon this hint the Chicago Tribune
has published a list of forty-seven DO,
licemen killed outright in battles with
thugs in the last quarter of, century
The conditions in Chicago are often
pointed at: with scorn by other cities.
They delight to put Chicago in a class
by itself and to fatter themselves that
they. are not as "poor old Chicago
But. are not all our American cities on
the Chicago road? Are they not all
more or less crime bounds. Are not these
conditions inextricably mixed with
therapeutics and their saloon business?
The fact of the matter is that in the
large cities there is a well-defned rela-
ton between the whisky business and the
crime Industry This is not to say that
all liquor dealers are protectors Of
criminals, for it is not true. But it is
true that the tough saloon is the nat
ural and inevitable haunt Of the tough
man. 1t is his headquarters, his club.
From it he sallies out on his forays.
This is so we'll understood that the po-
lice have come to depend largely on
saloorkeepers and gamblers for their
information about the criminal element.
The suggestion is that if the cities
really want to rid themselves of crime
they must rid themselves Of their sa-
looms. Since they cannot rid themselves
of all their saloons they must eliminate
the tough ones. They must carefully
scrutinize even the good ones and they
must make allsof them obey the laws.
The %mushy talk about aclosing the sa-
looms on Sunday being against good
business policy and the insincere
1guff' about liberal government is
about played out. Saloons are organ
ized*under certain laws. When they get
all the law allows they get all they had
reason to expect when the contract was
made. AS Mayor Jones puts it, he is
doing nothing against the saloon, but
simply putting it on legal basis. He
Is removing the special privileges which

Difficulties of a. Surplus.

1t is some time since Fred D. Grant
let off his aphorism to the effect that
"a surplus was easier handled than a
deficit, but it came near being denied
outright at the meeting of the Minis
ters' alliance yesterday, when a cloud
larger than a man 8 hand arose over
the question of the disposal of the sur
plus from the Chapman meetings. For
tunately, before the worst came to the
worst, the ministers bethought them
selves of an institution which was en-
joying an orthodox deficit and gave it
the money. so
Mr.. Grants proposition was that
prosperity was. more easily pigeonholed
than adversely, but it Is not always
true. Prosperity brings it's own class
of problems, and they are Of a kind
which are often harder to handle than
those of adversely. If. man. owes
money he knows what is expected Of
hinl-that should live below his income
and devote some Of his earnings to
extinguishing his debt. If he has more
money coming in than is going out,
he often yields to habits which would
not have attracted him in his days Of
tribulatien, and when he gets them
quite firmly fixed upon him, finds they
are worse for his constitution than even
the hunger, (which. formerly assailed him
at times.
Prosperity would be the very best
thing in the world for folks if, they
could take it: on the basis of the habits
and aspirations of the days Of poverty.
Had the ministers faced a small deficit
as the result Of the Chapman meetings,
they would have wiped it out cheerfully
and without word Of complaint. The
meetings were worth it. But having

MINING BOOM
r. B. Higbee Describes Excitement as
- New Nevada Camp.

R. B. Higbee, the well-known ST. Paul
broker, who has returned from the Man
haitian camp in Nevada, says that the
mining boom there is greater than that
of the days of '49.
Large surface findings have made
men wild with excitement, - says Mr..
tHigbee. H'TwO hundred dollars a day
has been offered for automobiles by
those anxious to reach the camp in
hurry; hundreds of teams line the road
across the desert and crowded stages
and wagons laden with lumber and
supplies of all kinds cannot be hurried
to the front fast enough.
"The gold is free milling and is
found on the surface with very little
work, the greatest showings Of free
gold ever shown in Nevada are cred
tied to this camp. The streets of Gold
field are deserted and thousands have
left that place for the new finds, 100
miles away across the desert.
Bright specimens of ore, threaded
and scanned with gold, make everyone
wild to get there quickly. Many assays
have run as high as 100000 to the ton,
and such men as Schwab, McKane,
WingfAd and Nixon have already Sc
cured large holdings in the district, and
thus has been wrought, in the space
of a few brief hours, the change from
a wilderness to a hustling city,"
