new THEATRE IN PROSPECT.
Fitger Brewing Co. Consider Erection
OF Playhouse in This CITY.

AAuB Ills VISIT 10 Duluth early
in the week J. p. Chalmers, a mem
Der OF the committee from the Com.
merclal Club to consider PROPOSE
ton Tor a new theatre for the city,
interviewed Mr.. A. Fitger, of the
fitger Brewing Co. who own three
three lots on Chestnut street op-
postte the Enterprise office, and
evidently received encouragement
in his commission, as denoted by
the following from the Dn1nth
Herald of Wednesday.
Hf the plans which the CONNER
cial Club of Virginia have under
way meet with the success the busi-
ness men expect them to, that city
is likely to have a thoroughly
modern opera house the coming
year, costing in the. neighborhood
of $4,000 and with seating capacity
for 1000 persons.
y. p. Chalmers, representing the
Virginia Commercial club, was in
the city today to confer with local
parties that have some large realty
holdings in Virginia and who are
being interested in the project of
erecting the new building on
their lots: The site that has been
selected, if the owners will consent,
comprises three lots in the heart of
the business section of the city,
with frontage of Is feet on the
main street and 125 deep on the in
tersecting avenue.
"Mr. Chalmers says the Virginia
business men have gone into the
matter enthusiastically and will, if
| necessary. offer assistance of very
substantial nature to bring the pro-
ject to culmination. Mr.. Chalmers
has conferred with c. A. Marshall
OF the Copper country circuit and
has received assurances of most
satisfactory nature that Virginia,
with new opera house of the seat
ing capacity mentioned, could
without doubt be included in the
circuit. With the theatre at Hib.
bing and a new one at Virginia it
would A>e an advantage to the cir
cuit TO 4ucfnde the two range cities.
"To substantiate the claims of the
Virginia Commercial club that the
new opera house would have suffi-
cient territory to draw from, Mr..
Chalmers says the new motor car
line that's planned for this coming
year to connect the range towns
will bring at least six or seven
good towns in close touch with
Virginia, so that with the people
that would be drawn from the out
side towns, in connection with the
6,O0O population of the city of Vir-
ginia itself, there is no question but
thatthe patronage available will be
satisfactory. The Commercial club
| OF Virginia, Mr.. Chalmers says, will
not consider project to build an
operahouse of smaller capacity for
the reason that it would shut that
city out of the Copper circuit. Of
fers for a smaller house have al
ready been considered by the busi-
ness men and have been turned
down.

An Enried Editor

John Black, for many years editor Of
the London Morning Chronicle, prided
himself ON being a judge of men. His
pride was justified by the fact that he
secured the services of many very able
contributors. Mr.. Black was noted for
his independence and contented spirit,
both Of which are Illustrated by the
following story:
Mr.. Black was in the habit of calling
on Lord Melbourne, then at the head
of the government, who one day said
to him in his abrupt way: Mr.. Black,
you are the only person who comes to
see me who forgets who 1 am. You
forget that am prime minister"
Black was stammering out an apol-
Ogy when Lord Melbourne continued,
you never ask me for anything, and
I wish you would"
II am truly obliged to you," answer
ed Black, 'but l don't want anything.
l am editor of the Morning Chronicle.

on my income"

man 1 ever did envy"

Americas First rice.

The very Introduction OF rice into
America seems almost prOvidential,
having been brought about by accident,
when in the year 1854 an English YES
sci. being stOrmbound. put into Charles
ton harbOr The ship, beaten by the
storm and in need of repairs, was
compelled to lay in harbor for some
time, and it was while there that her
captain gave to one of the citizens,
Thomas Smith, a small quantity of
rice, which principally constituted the
cargo. Smith planted the grain in his
garden, and the, plant thrived and
bore most abundantly, whereupon
Smith gave seeds to his neighbOrs,
which they also planted, and were
successful in raising crops. Prior to
that eventful occasion the great
stretches Of lowland along the Caro-
lima coast now very valuable) had
proved q barren waste, and in the
planting of this little parcel Of the
wonderful cereal and its successful
harvest is found the logical beginning
OF rice culture in America.-Sunset

"SIan In the Street."

Emerson was not the first to use this
phrase in his Conduct of Life" which
was published in 1860 In the first Sc
ries of the "Greville Memoirs" under
date March %, 1880, occSrs the follow
ing passage:
Then will come the question Of
dissolution, which one side affrms will
take place directly, and the other that
the king will not consent to it, know
ing as the man in the street Gas we
call him at Newmarket always does,
the greatest secrets of kings and being
the confdant Of their most hidden
thoughts"
1t would appear from this that the
expression was in common use among
racing men in 1S30.-NOtes and Que

G. S. vARDENl &: SON.
New Tax Provisions.

S&' t. -
The new Revenue Law which went
into effect Monday of last week makes
many changes, especially in regard to
payment Of taxes. Now, all taxes must
be paid by the first of November which
is month sooner than funder the old
law. 1t has been the custom of some
sheriffs before this to pay the taxes of
those who were financially geod and
then collect for themselves the six per
cent penalty. IN 50 Going they could al
low the delinquent tax payer consider
able time to pay in. Under the new
law the sheriff is not allowed to keep
this penalty and consequently he can
not afford to borrow the money and set
tie with the State as formerly, but
must make the taxpayers come to time
Within fifteen days after November 1st
the Sheriff must make out list of. all
delinquents and file it with the County
Clerk The clerk within ten days
more, shall make out tax warrants, re-
turn them to the sheriff who must levy
and sell to collect the taxes at once.
The Sheriff must settle with the
State by December LIST and must him
self pay a penalty Of six per cent for
all taxes not collected y that time and
and which are collectable by law. AS
this six per cent is more than he gets
for collecting, it will be seen that the
sheriff must collect his taxes at once
or lose money by holding the office.
There are many other new duties laid
upon the sheriff and county HEREUNDER
the new law, which was not incumbent
on them under the old law. These
changes are not readily understood by
the mass Of people and have a tendency
to make tie Sheirff's Office unpopular
when really, he has no way to help
himself and must do these things
whether he likes it or rot. So if your
taxes for the State and county are not
paid by November 1st and the sheriff
levies on your property few days later
don't blame him but blame the Legisla-
ture which enacted the law and which
he must obey as we'll as you.

w. s. Hiser Of the Young Mems
Committee of the Y. M. G.. A. has sent
out the following announcement rela-
tive TO the work of soliciting, and also
calling attention to the special meet
ing thfs evening:
Dear Sir:-It requires time patti
ence and selfsacrificing work to build
I'D any kind of an enterprise or bust
ness. In establishing a Y. NJ. G. A.
here we should not be surprised to
find that we must follow these same
common principles of business. This
move especially true where the pub
lie is solicited to pledge money and
not get value received directly into
their hands. Under whatever circum-
stances may exist the wise business
man keeps steadily and persistently
working away, knowing that the re,
ward of such efforts is ultimate arc
cess In our Y. M. c. A. we must all
work and do it while the chance is
here.
The prevailing excuse is Il am too
busy" but it is busy men who do
things IL they get at it. We daily
choose what to do and what to leave
undone. 1t may be that the Y NJ. G.
A. soliciting has been left undone by
you; and it may be it has been done
and new cards taken out on which
pledges have been secured. Until af-

is a good time for people to pledge

with Xmas buying, unless it would
curtain the buying and swell the Y.

Keep the cards you have, see the

and after that we will get down to
