Wilson Barrett's sublime religious
drama 1.-THE Sign Of the Cross" is a
commanding success wherever present
ed. For six years it has been one of
the chief attractions of each season.
Time serves to strengthen It's influence
as an enobling play and to bring to it
increasing popularity among all class
es. 1t was the pioneer Of the religious
drama, and as stage production draws
as much from the religious element
IN each community as from regular
theater goers, making Its position in
the dramatic field entirely unique. In
spectacular scene The Sign Of the
Cross" Is to be presented at the Ly-
ceum theater on the 81 and 22nd inst.
by Mr.. r. G. Craerin, and is one Of the
most costly and elaborate dramatic
productions now touring this country.
The scene OF Rome in the time the
prodigal and wanton rule Of Nero
swayed are full Of color and massive
effects. Special music and dancing en-
liven some OF the scenes of wild lux
ury In the Roman court. but it is the
portrayal of the life Of the lowly faith
full prosecuted Christians that has
served to give to The Sign Of the
Cross" it's lofty place among dramatic
successes.

erman Ribenack Present.

fairs Committee.

invitation, and gave the society an in
teresttng talk on 9Th ward matters.

Arrangements have been made for a
brief production of the play here with
Mr.. Clement and his entire Metropoli-
tan company Of fifty, with the COM
plete, new and elaborate equipment Of
scenery and costumes. The engage
ment should be the event of the sea-
son.
A number of new specialties unique
and attractive have been secured by
Charles H. Yale for the twenty-fifth
edition of his "Everlasting Devils
Auction" company. An European SEN
sation never before seen in this coun-
try will be one of the many features
of interest.
The breezy and wholesome college
Widow with it's plethora of Ade-isms,
uttered by the most delightfully."- recog-
nizable American types, comes to the
Lyceum on October 2 and 8. This real
ly splendid comedy, with record runs
in all the large cities Of the country to
its credit, has what is said to be- its
strongest cast on the present tour.
Henry W. Savage, who owns the pro-
ducing rights, recognizes the fact that
the AIDE masterpiece is good for many
seasons, and has given much personal
attention to the makeup Of the organ
ization, as also to it's scenic and me-
chanical equipment. Among the we'll
known players In the cast are Louise

and an olio bill that would do credit
tt, any regular straight vaudeville
theater, for seldom If ever is such an
array of vaudeville acts ever seen on
one program, including as it does
John H. Perry, who is too well known
to the patrons Of this house to need
any introduction, "The Manhasset
Comedy Four" in the refined singing
comedy act,,, LYDIA Carlisle and Lille
Perry, the original Kodak Girls in
novelty singing and dancing special
ty, Tommy Nolan and Cora White,
presenting an amusing comedy sketch:
Frank Ross, the Singing Jew; Loro
and Payne, the greatest and most dar.
ing comedy acrobatic act ever seen on
any stage, and others. The opening
skit ':"The Wrong Count Tobasco' and
the closing burlesque of Look Out
Below" are both produced In the most
elaborate manner, and a decidedly at.
tractive tone is given to each farce by
a chorus Of twenty very pretty and at
t,active young show girls, who appear

dances that are in keeping with the

at the primaries for that very reason.
The success Of this government de-
pendc upon the integrity of the voters.
More or less confidence must be plac-
ed ir the citizen, and at the same time
he should be thoroughly protected in
exercising his right of suffrage. This
can only be done by guaranteeing the
utmost secrecy. How can there be
an honest expression of sentiment
rendered If every voter is obliged to
state his party utilization before given
the right to vote? There are a large
number of voters who claim no party
affiliations, and these should not be
DISTINGUISHED to suit the whim of par
ty bosses, and party machines.

the Modern Samaritans, who died sud-
denly on Saturday last. Mr.. Yolton
was the founder Of the Modern, Samar-
itans, and some years ago was we'll
known on Duluth Heights. He had a
small truck farm In this voting pre-
ctnct. It was located Dear the Poor
Farm.
Those intending to make water con-
nections this fall should notify the
Water department at once, as It is the
desire OF the Board to save expense
by putting number Of them together.
On Wednesday morning fire Destroy
cd the residence Of Mr.. Chas. Shogren
on the upper side of the Boulevard
just east of the Incline. The origin
OF the fire Is unknown. It was first
discovered in small building at the
rear OF the Shogren residence, and
spread rapidly to the main dwelling.
Ih1s conf1agration doubly asserts the
need for the hasty building of the
upper hill water system. There was In
surance to the amount Of $4,000 on the
property. The building was worth
$500.
George McEwen Of Virginia came
down Sunday to spend the day with
mis- parents. It was also his 26th
birthday and he celebrated it right.
1t is quite novelty to see two
houses being built on the Heights.

GOV. JOHNSON AND GOOD Gov
EMINENT,

The campaign is fairly under way,
and Gov. Johnson has made several
speeches before large and enthusiast
tic audiences who seem to support the
contentious of Minnesota's Chief Ex-
ecutive.
As the campaign progresses 1t be-
comes more and more evident that
the candidacy of A. L. Cole is moth
ing more than joke. He is the stand
ard bearer of mighty party, and
under the convention system Of NOM
mating, many grave mistakes have
been made, but this last one caps the
climax.
AS his political record is being laid
bare the old tried and true party lead
ers are discovering that their cand!.
date, Mr.. Cole, has been of rowing pol
itical disposition. He has been Pop
ulist, free silver Republican and
Democrat. In the legislature he is
known to have shifted about from po-
sition to position as expediency would
suggest, and no one scarcely knew
where to find him. 1t is said that
while he voted for the Railroad De-
murrage Bill in the house, he lobb1ed
against it's passage in the senate. The
leaders do not know now whether or
not he can be relied upon if he Is
elected.
There has been a wonderful revo
luton in political thought during the
past two years. All party lines and
partisan prejudices have been swept
TO the winds. It has been found bet
ter to support the most honest men
In ali the parties for office In order
that the best government may be had.
Jerome the Democrat in New York
can always bank on the decent Re-
publican votes of the American met
ropolis. La Toilette the Republican
has never failed to command the re-
spec. and support of the most respec-
table members of the Democratic par
ty il. Wisconsin. Folk is today loved
and admired by the best citizens OF
Missouri, irrespective of their poltt-
ical affiliations. So it is with Gov.
Johnson, whose honest and dignifie1
administration of the affairs of state
in Minnesota will command for him
the support of the best citizens of the
state, and it does not make any Diff
ference to which political party they
may belong.
The party whip cannot be cracked
today with any effect. The people OF
Minnesota know when they have good
government, and they are not going
to exchange it for an uncertain guam
tity

julius Schmall, Republican candi-
date for Secretary of State, furnished
strike breakers In the printers strike
for the eight hour day, and he seems
to boast about 1t, 1t is up to union
labor to vote for a man for that office

PRIMARY LAW SHOULD BE.
CHANGED.

A criticism of the present loosely
framed, primary election law is not
necessarily a condemnation Of the sys-
tenn of direct nominations. In cOun-
ties like St. Louis, where the vote is
overwhelmingly in favor of the Re-
publican party large number of vo-
ters are practically disfranchised.
A situation presents itself In sew
eral county offices where there is no
opposition, and large number OF
Democrats have nothing to do but to
vote for the cut and dried Republican
nominee. We therefore have little
voice in saying who shall serve us
during the next two years.
Under the present system it is pos
sible for a small percentage of the
voters to say who shall hold the coun-
ty offices. The law is so constructed
that 1t is almost impossible to put in
dependent candidates in the field.
There ought to be an amendment to
the primary election law which would
give the voter an opportunity to
choose his party ticket without hav-
ing to disclose his affiliations to the
public. In Wisconsin the blank BAL
lots of all the parties are attached,
and a voter can only vote for the can
didates for nomination on one party
ticket If he should use the ticket
of two or more parties he loses his
vote. The ballots are perforated and the
voter disconnects them, handing the
marked ballot to the Judge of election
to be deposited in the ballot box, and
the unmarked ballots are deposited
