Is 1T, or is 1t not? What? The liter
ary matinee, of course.
That is the question which has been
uppermost in the minds of many this
week, and the latest answer is, at is"
There are more things going on be-
hind the asbestos curtain than the out
side world dreams of, if the vague
whispers which emanate from behind
the said curtain can be relied upon.
Harry Mestayer has learned the gem
tie art making enemies, it is said,
and it seems pity, for he does seem
to try hard and try long.
First there were to be matinees lit
erary at the Burbank. but only two of
these materialzed. Then there were
to be matiness literary at the Belasco,
and three of these saw the light Last
week there were no matinees literary
anywhere and it was murmured abroad
that there would not be any more;
that Harry Mestayer would return to
the fold whence he came and the
Belasco patrons would know him no
more.
The first rumor was unfounded, but
the second proved to be trueb There
are to be literary Hatinees but Mr..
Mestayer will no longer have part in
them. He is still a member of the Bur-
bank company, and it is elfe to be-
lieVe that we may expect some such
clever work from him in the future as
we have received in the past. He is a
character actor of no mean ability, and
should produce much better results by
staying with one organization and de-
voting his whole time to that than by
going a bit here and a bit there. .
Miss Crawley and Hobart Bosworth
will henceforth hold the Belasco stage
on Tuesday afternoons, and as both
are artists and deeply interested in
the plays they are going to produce.
there should be something really good.
Mr.. Mestayer will hereafter remain
a solid Burbanker and probably will in
time become proof against literary
matinees."
There have been several other
changes in theatrical circles. William
Bernard is back again at the Burbank
theater, which he left to join the
Belasco forces some time ago.
The coming week he will appear as
the Frenchman, Pardeaux, in the fourth
weeks production of 1.-The Halfbreed -
The role Is left vacant by the depart
ure of II. j. CHM for New York, where
he is to appear in 1.-The Judge and the
Jury"
Mr. CHM viii continue in the role
today, as he cannot well leave the
3elasco until the week Of Charley S
Aunt" at the BelascQ closes.
Harry Glazier Will take the place OF
William Desmond i'm 1.-The Halfbreed"
today, and the popular Bill" will de-
part tomorrow to try his fate on Broad
way New York.

NOTES BY THE
MATINEE MAN
.s..s.ass.t..sts..l..l.....I..s..E..t...s,

The Commodores of the Pacific SQUAD
ron, an organization of newspaper men
and actors. met Thursday evening at
the Louvre. The affair was farewell
to William Desmond and Harry CHM,
who are both members of the squadron.
Among those who were present at the
meeting were Harry Mestayer, Tom
Oberle, Carlyn and Otto from the Or
pheum, Harry Glazier, Mace Greenleaf.
william Desmond, kolb, Dill and
Dillon, II. j. Ginn, Harrison King,
Frank Frayne and about thirty more
of the actor and newspaper folk The
health of the departing commodores
was drunk many times and they were
wished godspeed and good luck.
Argyro Kastron, the statuesaue
young woman who plays the violin at
the Orpheum, says that she is tired
of having critics call her arms and
hands poems" She has a standing
offer of a weeks salary for some one
who will furnish the press with some
synonymous term so that she can es-
cape the deadly poems" Her chief
objection to the term is that every line
in a poem contains several feet and
the implication is not pretty.
There is an extra heavy demand for
seats in the center Of the front row at
the Orpheum since the advent of the
Military octet. The presence of Miss
Mabel Keith, the "Girl With the
Baton" in the place usually occupied
by Prof. A. f. Frankenstein, is respon-
sible for this condition and certainly In
her pretty white hussar uniform she il
worth second look.
Miss Margaret Langham returned on
Monday from nine weeks visit In the
east. Most of her time was spent at
the country home of her sister on Lake
Geneva, but she was in Chicago long
enough to see all the principal summer
productions at the theaters and also to
add 10 her wardrobe.

Mr.. Do>vlinq's Support.

One cannot but be amused at the
editorial Acknowledgement of
defeat signed by P. E. Dowling in
the last issue of the Eveleth Star, in
which the writer, despite his dirty
fight against the nomination of p.
r. Vail and his of trepeated allega-
tions of Mr.. Wallis ineligibity,
signifies his intention of support
ing the successful candidate.
We presume that, in considera-
tion of the fact that Mr.. Vail has
no opposition and that even though
he had opposition his strength is
impregnable. Mr.. Vail and his
many friends will fully appreciate
the stand taken by the Eveleth
statesman, who publicly announces
that he has "carried on a clean
campaign, both in 6he PRESS and on
the PLATFORM
Mr.. Dowling's support isno object
to the ;successfulscandidates, but We
do not suppose they can serve an
INDUCTION on him restraining him
from giving it; but the true value
of any mans support who will
defile an opponent before the
nominating caucus. and laud his
virtues thereafter is too easily seen
to demand attention.
If Mr.. Dowling desires to stay by
the bargain made several years ago
and ostensibly remain in the Re
publican ranks, it is not for his
brethren of the press to kick him
out; but iais "sapport" of the Re-
publican ticket or his opposition
thereto would be commoditySwdth-
out value, because of it's utter lack
of weight.

COL. JAMES PASSES TO HIS REWARD.
Virginia's Most Honored Citizen Dies
Sunday Morning., of Heart Failure. !

vuySsN0 NOSl SuOUOTGO NsISZSu UsCS
Sunday M0Fniag, of Heart Failure.
Never in the history of Virginia
has death caused more universal
grief than that of'Col. J. r. James,
who passed away shortly before
one o'clock on Sunday morning
last. Known and beloved by allfor
his firm, manly character, his devo-
tion to his home and to his work,
and for his many noble personal
traits, the loss comes home to all,
and a mute manifestation of the
place in our hearts of one whose
"sun has gone down while it was
yet day" is exemplified by the vol
untary closing of all places Of bus
iness in the city during the hours
of the funeral services, that all
might attend and pay due tribute
to the memory Of a worthy neigh.
Dor and friend.
John r. Games was born at Provi.
dence Rhode Island, on January
9Th, 1850, being 56 years of age at
the time of his death. On une 26,
1884, he was married to Miss Mary
E. Hannaman, by whom he is sur.
vived and with whom the city
'mourns and sympathizes in her
hour of'grief, but who lives to cher
ish the memory of happy welded
life aud bless a kind Providence
that so noble and true husband
was spared to share with her the
joys of life for so many years.
The deceased was numbered
among the earlier residents of Vir.
ginia, coming here in February,
1893, as manager of the Virginia
improvement Co., with whom he
has since been connected. The es-
TEEN in which he was held has
been exemplified many times by
his election to positions of trust,
and when his appointment as post
master was made two years ago it
is safe to say that no appointment
in the district ever gave so general
satisfaction to the citizens of COM
munity.
Funeral services were held from
the home on Chestnut street at HOO
o'clock on Monday, the Rev. Henry
A. Logan officiating, the remains
being shipped to his boyhood home
at Providence, R. l., for interment,
the funeral cortege being followed
to the train by a large number of
sorrowing citizens.
A good man has gone from our
midst, but the memory of an up
right life will remain with those
who knew him best; a man whose
motto was DUTY" and in whose
steadfast adherence to this one rul-
ing aim in life lay power for influ-
ence; and few there are who knew
him who have not something of his
potent individuality as remem.
brance, which far out-reaches all
eulogistic words. His familiar fig.
ure, his pleasant greeting, his
bright disposition will be missed;
but those noble qualities of true
man will never be forgotten; the
body is dead, but the spirit still
lives.

INJUNCTION TAILED TO STICK.
JUDGE Dibel( Decides the Pavi0a Con-
tract Should Proceed.

Judge Dibell Decides the 1Pavins Con-
| tract Should Proceed. !
In district court on MondayEE
Judge Dibell rendered decision inI
the case of Dudley W. Freeman
against the city of Virginia I'M
which the plaintiff asked for an
order restraining the city:from pay;
ing Contractor Mcdonnell for paw
ing and sewer construction work:
now under way in this city, the,
decision being averse to the ap-'
plicant.
The restraining order was asked;
because of the belief that there had
been collusion between bidders on
the work and that the prices scharg-I
ed were a1nreasonably high. This
contention was backed by POPULAR
sentiment and by the statement
made 10y an expert of the estimated
cost of the proposed improvements,
and also that the Gull for bids for
such work was never given official
publication, it being shown. that
the Virginian was named as the
official paper of the city of Virginia
without advertising or receiving
bids forsuch publishing, as specifi-
ed and required by law.
The defense passed up these
points in it's argument, basing it's
plea upon the fact that the work
had been commenced, that the
principal fhoroughfare of the city
was in such deplorable condition
that it would prove a hardship to
the business interests if the work
should be held up, and presented a
petition to the court signed by a
number of the property:owners
asking that the suit be dismissed
on those grounds. This petition
evidently demanded the respect of
the court and had much to do with
influencing his decision, despite
the fact that some of the signers
thereto have since stated that in
their estimation the price was sex-
| ceedingly and unwarrantably
high.
The injunction was argued a week
| before the decision was rendered,
although certain of the city officials
seemed to he infornled as to the
Ivoutcouoe prior to the time the
decision wae made public. This
may have been from the fact that
each day apparently lessened the
chance of the plaintiff winning his
case, or it may have been from
! other sources.
In the meantime the contractor
has lost no time through the in
sitution of the suit, and has had
most favorable weather for his
| work, 80 he will doubtless have the
work completed on schedule time.

WANT PAY,FORiSBNHR DAMAGE.
Land Owners object to- Virginia Sew
er.En,ptyioq Into Three Mite Lake.


Through Roger S. Powell, at
torney, "A. s. Grochan and A. F.
Gross, of Duluth, submitted a COM
munication TO the city council
Tuesday evening in which they set
forth the fact that they are owners
Eof lots d, 2, 4 and 5in section "a, s.
18, and alleging that through the
main sewer of the city of Virginia
being run into the water of this
Take their land has been greatly in
blurred in value. The parties further
contended that fhey did not desire
a suit over the matter, but cited the
fact that he>city authorities, at the
time of building such sewer under
Mayor Eaton's former administra-
ton, had taken no steps to acquire
rights to the lake as dumping
ground, and rather than enter suit
would settle the matter for the sum
of $500.
The communication was disposed
of by being referred TO the city at.
torney.
The clerk read IAN estimate of
1907 expenditures, in which it was
figured that $52,45O would be re.
quired ito run the municipality; the
coming year. Of this SUM, az uead,
the statement allowed $4,000 for
fire department., which would look
as though this important part of
the city's machinery was to have
more attention than has been &C.
corded 1T in the past. In this con-
nection resolution was also passed
fixing the amount to be raised by
tax levy the coming year at $27,850.
These figures would indicate that
the running of the city was becom.
ing a more expensive propositi on
than formerly.
The petition of M. Scollard for ap-
pointment as fire chief was again
taken up, but was disposed of by
being laid on table indefinitely, all
aldermen present voting uuan1-
mously in the matter.
Contractor Grande made app1ica-
tion for permit to build IA SO one
story building on the lot between
Cofey's livery and the Virginia
Hardware Co., store, which, was
tgranted.
An estimate submitted by the
engineer permitted the payment of
$500 to P. Mcdonnell on the paving
contract, which amount wac audit
ed and ordered paid.
The city attorney read a synopsis
of the decision rendered by fudge
Homer B. Dibeu in the injunction
suit, which was ordered fled.

1t would seem incredible, Der.
haps, that a state with $18,O0O,OOO of
state school funds should refuse
trivial loans to districts in need, but
an apparent lack OF knowledge of
existing conditions is doubtless the
cause leading to the stunning down
OF several applications by range
districts of late.
One such was a request from Dis
trict No. SO, at Ashawa, with an as
sessed valuation of $141 600, where
$2o0O was wanted to assist in max
ing proper provisions for $50 pupils.
Another similar request came
from District No. 13, on the east end
of the range, where $500 was want
ed for needed school building at
the Stephens. This District has an
assessed valuation of upwards of
81 100000.

The Fathers of the Order of St.
Dominic, named respectively Faith.
ers Fannum and Echart, will form
ally open the Mission at Our Lady
OF Lourdes next Sunday, at the 1890
mass.
The word OMISSION" has various
and extensive meanings, but epok-
EN- IN the above sense it invariably
means series of instructions en-
the principal duties of a Christian,
and a series of sermons on the
great eternal truths of religion
preached by priests who have a
special vocation for that glorious
work, and a special training to per-
feet that VOCATION.
The object of the Mission ia to get
the wicked to forsake their ways, to
arouse the careless from their tor
por to knowledge and a practice
of the wants of the soul, and to
help the virtuous advance to per-
fection.
1saiah;the prophet,said to the sin.
ner of his day, "Let the wicked for.
sake his way, and the unjust man
his thoughts, and let him return to
the Lord and He will have nercY
on him, and to our God, for He ie
bountiful to forgive."-IV-7.
The Mission bids fair to be the
greatest work, from religious
point of view, Virginia has yet
seen. All should try and attend
the exercises, where truth and light
and love and mercy, blended in
one, will go forth to hearts pre-.
pared to receive them.
And you are all invited to be
present.
