BERNHARDT TICKETS
RESERVED BY MAIL

Clerks are busy booking reservations
for out-of town people who are plan
ming a special trip to the city during
the Bernhardt engagement. All signs
point to the engagement Of the Ndi-
vine Sarah - as the biggest event in the
theatrical history Of the city, with the
one exception of the grand opera sea-
son at the Auditorium last spring.
For the first time here. the mail-order
system is being used in connection with
the seat sale for the Bernhardt en-
gagement and is proving decidedly pop
ular. During the last two seasons in the
east the mail order system has been
used for the biggest theatrical events
/ The great advantage of the system is
that mail orders are given attention
just as soon as they come in, altho some
people have the impression that the
mail orders are not given precedence
over the ticket buyers in line. This
impression is wrong, as the mail orders
are being filed now, and in the allot-
ment of seats every effort is being made
to make the reservations lust as close
to the requests as possible. 49,.
The engagement Of the great Bern
hardt is, also notable for the modesty
Of the priceso charged. Nine out of
every ten whoniha ve been planning to
see Bernhardt on her last tour of this
country were Of the opinion that it
would cost SIS to see her. The. popular
scale Of prices decided upon for Min,

and has caused the management to re-

South Minneapolis citizens Interested

completion by the library board. A

may be allowed and which will be con-

ply in other rooms, is asked. The plan.
library board members, who seem to
be slightly afraid of the cars While
perfectly willing to fit up a men s
reading room in the south branch, there
is some measure of doubt in the literary
mind as to the propriety Of the smoking
feature.
Those interested in the plan are most
enthusiastic The expense necessary to
the equipment and maintenance Of the
room would be slight. The space would
be secured at small expense by repair
ing waste rear room, 37x21 feet, for
which the board is now paying rent. An
interested gentleman has offered to fur
nish the room completely. The only
expense for maintenance would be one
or two lights and the small amount Of
additional steam that would be required
for heating.
AS Sunday Resort.
The reading rooms Of the station are
well patronized by all classes of peo-
pie, but there is a certain class of men
of all ages who are not reached. The
general reading rooms are too quiet and
no visiting is allowed. The rooms are
open all day Sunday and many men

obtains on week days, especially in the
evening. :.
The room which it is proposed to- fit
up for the men is in the rear of the
general reading. room. Thru a small
hallway it communicates with rear
door IN smaller reading room and

to great extent and could be con.
Quoted without interfering in any way
with the quiet that is maintained in the
