ADJUSTMENTS
"The Wolf"

The audience at the Bijou last night which witnessed the performance of Flu gene Walters great drama, "The Wolf,' was without exception the most discour- teous that it has ever been the misfor- tune of the writer to sit among and the actors are to be highly congratulated on their work under such trying circum- stances. There is nothing more annoy ing to an actor than, to have the theatre
 filled with snickering girls, who are seized with uncomfortable giggles at the moment when the actor is at his highest emotional pitch. The theatre was filled with this species last night and but for the unusual work of the cast the play would have been spoiled for those peo- pie who came merely to see a good show and not to cast "goo goo eyes" and cackle.
 But the least said of such unpleasant subjects the better. As regards the play, everyone is familiar with the story of Eugene walters great drama of the Canadian woods, so an explanation of the story is unnecessary.
 Few plays have been seen at the Bijou this year that were better produced or better played. While F. Fernandez as Jules Beaubien does great acting he is slightly outpointed by William Crimans, who plays the part of William McDon- aid, the wolf of the play. Few more finished actors play at the Bijou. Mr. Crimans has a magnificent stage pres ence and a strong personality that he succeeds in forcibly impressing on the audiance The nhYsioue so necessary to the part he plays he possesses in the fullest and shows it to advantage. In spite of the fact that MT. Crimans was playing the villains part he was round ly applauded by the audience.
 E. Fernandez as Jules Beaubien, is very good, indeed In the emotional mo- ments of the play when force was re- quired, MT. Fernandez was fully up to the standard. In his voice he possesses and well-modulated. MT. Fernandez Is a finished actor and pleased the audi ence highly.
 The remainder of the cast, while not out of the ordinary, were satisfactory. J. Davis Pendleton, as George Hutley, McDonald's assistant. does very good work and furnishes most of the comedy of the play in very satisfactory man ner. Miss Mildred Hyland as Hilda Mc- Tavish, the only female character in the play, is good at moments. Hers are the sins of omission rather than com- mission Robert Deshon as Batiste Le- Grand, does very good work and Tom Burroughs as Andrew McTavish DOT trays the canny Scot In the conventional manner.
 On the whole "The Wolf as played at the Bijou this week is very enjoyable and well worth seeing. d. $.

Let me illustrate.
II buy fruit to carry home. I've done

bags here cost the dealer more, maybe
q quarter or half a cent more apiece.

were good, stout bags that wouldn't
break on the way home.
"And when this dealer had put the
fruit in one of these bags he didn't
simply twist the neck of it and hand
1t over to me in a form inconvenient
to carry. He folded the top of the bag
over and iDllcd it down to form a

into Il bundle that was secure n

st. Paul, April 19.-Both houses of

The senate tried to postpone &C.
ton until it heard whether the house,
which passed the bill with an amend
ment, wanted to recall the bill. This
failed.
The house fought over a motion to
recall the bill, but voted it down.
The senate later concurred in the
house amendments, repassed the bill
as amended and, by voting down a
motion to reconsider, closed the in
cident.
In the house Representatives Frank.

motion. Excitement ran high in the

restore law and order among the state
lawmakers.
Governor Eberhart said later that
he would sign the bill. II do not be-

Judge John Cowan had the oppor-

charges of drunkenness, corrupt con-

he made the opening statement Of the

He predicted that when the history
of this action is written the people OF
the state will demand a change in the
constitution and eliminate such pro-
ccdure. "Ninety-nine out of Il hun

ment, which he sri was even now be-
ing worked up in IN effort to convict.
would not be allowed to stand in the
way of justice being done.
On the question of why he should
fight the case, so often asked of him,
Cowan declared that it was a fight for
his honor, for his wife, his two boys
and his two girls. For their sake he
would fight to the last ditch.
