AMUSEMENTS. There was a good house at the Grand last «icht. but every seat should have been filled. ••The Old Homestead."' the ulay that was pre- Ftated. remains the EuperJor of ail the 'down East"" dramas ever written. It is a jlay peculiar to itself. It has imitators, but no equals. One is often led to tbinfc that some other is as pood as it is, until the oppor tunity of seeing Uncle Josh -- offered again. TiJtii one always recurs to the original opin ion—lhat it stands alone. "The Old Home tlead" is as funny as the funniest, and. with Ellusfun.it teaches a lesson in no round about way. The very fact that it is so '"preachy"' and yet bo interesting, so enter taining, so intensely funny and so popular, js- evidence that it is a wonderful play. It is being produced at the Grand as well as it ■was ever produced in the world. Archie Boyd play? the i art of Uncle Josh as well as Denman Thompson ever did. Tl balance of '.he ens: is substantially the same rs when Jr.st seen here. All tbe characters that count lire in trie hands of people wiio are fully up to the requirements, several of them are character etching. "Old Jed Prouty" succeeded in drawing a large audience to the Bijou last evening. A matinee performance will be given to-mor row at "J :30. It is probable that the corning performances .of "The Charily Ball" at the Grand will be the only time that now famous play will be done iv >iinueai>oliE. as Mr. Frohman does tot purpose to tour next season. Night Schools Open. The nijrht schools were opened last nieht for the Instruction of those who cannot attend school in the day. There are nine of them this year, distributed a? follows: Franklin. Fifteenth avenue north and Fourth street: Jefferson, First avenue north ami Seventh street: ' - Bjrton, Eighth avenue south and Sixth street; Jackson, Fifteenth avenue south and Fourth street; Irvine, Seventh avenue south and Twenty-eighth street: Pres cott. Twenty-fifth" avenue northeast and Taylor street; Webster, Summer and Monroe stteet northeast; Holmes.Third avenue southeast and Fifth street; Mon roe. Twenty-fourth avenue south and Franklin. The night schools have always been a preat success. Prof. C. M. Jordan, of the Adams school, is the supervisor of the night schools. He thinks that this year will demonstrate their usefulness more than ever. In the schools in .South and North Minneapolis special rooms are set aside for those foreigners who are not familiar with the English language. No Profits to Share. The Pillsbury-Washburn Milling com pany, of London, England, has declared a dividend of £148,330, a sum greater than $700,000. The company has an nounced that it will do no Drofit-suar in? this year. The statement that there would be no profit-sharing, followed by the declaration of a dividend, made the first statement look a little pe culiar to some people. Inasmuch its the reason for the non-sharing of profits with the employes was that there were none to share. C. A. Pilisbnry explains that the dividend declared rep resents the gross profits of the mill. Out of that stun must come the expenses for repairs and iuipiovements. lie says that when they are paid there will be no net profits for a dividend to the fctoek holders. The employes of the company, however, think that this is an evasion. They attribute the failure of their share to materialize to the strike of last summer. Johnston Ready for the Road. Paul Alexander Johnston was in Min neapolis yesterday for a few hours. The famous wind reader is out on the road apain, pvins the public exhibitions of his wonderful powers. During the last week he has been piving tests in the f-outhern j>nrt of the state. To-day lie will becin on a route that will take him all ovei the Western country, the moun tain region and the Pacific coast. Thence he expects to .go to Australia and the Orient. Ha is anxious to study the methods of the occult workers of the Indies. She Will Quit. The present prospects are that the case of Dr. Rochford, arrested for as sault and battery on complaint of Miss Lenore Chase, ill never come to trial, as it is now said that Miss Ci;ase is already sorry that she ever instituted suit. Miss Chase, it is reported, has offered to take jv.oo and drop both the civil suit and xhc. criminal action, but this offer Dr. i;< chford refuses to enter tain. He says he will not pay a cent until ordered to do so by the court. It is thought that Miss Chase will drop the cases anyway. Taken Back lor Trial. Sheriff 11. E. Olson, of Pope county, left Minneapolis yesterday morning at f :40, taking with him James Woodson, conductor, and I. M. Smith, engineer of the freight train which ran into a pas lenger train on the Soo road near Thor lon on Oct. 30, causing a wreck in which six lives were lost. V.'oodson Hid Smith will be arraigned in Pope tounty on the charge of manslaughter. LOCAL MENTION. I. E. Bnrt Portrait Co. will give away a fine pastel portrait each day this week. Also a nice souvenir of the Emma Abbott portrait Miss JEL Lctta Lewis, TiO3 Tenth avenue south, re ceived the present yesterday. BERRY IS PARDONED, He's Exonerated by the Parfc Board, and Told to Do So Ko More. No Decision on the First Ward Park Will Be Made Till Spring. Militia Boys Struggling With the New System of Regu lar Army Tactics. Ministers Are Passing Resolu tions Again— Hurrle, the Gunner, Arraigned. The park board held a regular meet ing yesterday afternoon aud disposed of a large quantity of small business, but all matters of sreat importance were laid over until future meetings for va rious reasons. The committee on inves tigation of the charges of nepotism preferred against Supt. Berry was ex pected to report, but was unable to do so on account of the absence of Commis sioner Dahn, the chairman of the com mittee, who is ill. Although the report was not submitted, portions of its contents have already been made public. It is known that there port fully exonerates S"ipt. Berry from the charges preferred, but it also rec ommends that in the future the team work be distributed among the taxpay ers as far as possible and that each team be entered in the owner's name. The committee further recommends that a safe be placed in the secretary's office at Loring park. John Swenson, the well expert em ployed to ascertain the reason of the recent trouble with the artesian well at Loring park, reported, recommending that the "Well be drilled deeper. The present depth of the well is 315 feet. and Swenson suggests that it be carried to a depth of 600 left. The question was referred back to the committee on improvements. The report of the special committee on Stinson boulevard, recommending that the thoroughfare be harrowed this fall, and that no further improvements be made until the extension ot the boulevard at each end could be ar ranged for, was adopted. The committee on improvements, to whom was referred the matter of filling the triangular plat between Henueplu and Lyndale avenues an i Vineland place, at the foot of Lowry hill, re torted that as yet the park boark has no title to the land, and that, consequently, nothing can be done for the pn-s^:i*t. On motion of Commissioner Loye it was agreed to request the council to vest in tiie park board the title to this land. In regard to the proposed widening of Elennepin avenue, from Harmon place to Oak Grove street, this same committee recommended that h strip of land fourteen feet wide be donated by the b<>aid to the city for this purpose, and that the row of trees now standinz in this place be left outside the side walk. The committee recommended that the proposition of A. J. Dean and others to convey to the board certain lands be tween Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles be accepted. Two reports were submitted by the special committee to whom was referred the petit; of S. A. Maxwell and Jen nette E. Maxwell for an increase in the price of 52.0 X) allowed them by the ap- ' praising board for their property con- i demned by the state for Minnehaha park. Commissioner Lawrence sub mitted a minority report recommending that the board allow the Max wells nothing in addition to the price as already fixed excepting the (privilege of removing their buildings, and the balance of the committee a report rec ommending that they be allowed $2,000 additional. The«-e report! occasioned considerable discussion, Commissioner Lawrence stating that Mr. Maxwell had no legal claim to any more than $2,000, and Commissioners Boardmau and Loye insist in? that this was not a fair price for the land, as it contained a stone quarry which had been paying Mr. Max- J well 825 per day. and would continue to : do so for some time to come if he were : allowed to retain the property. On mo tion of Commissioner Folwell the re ports were both laid over until next meeting. The resolution authorizing the pur chase of the proposed site of the First ward park was taken from the table, i and after a motion by Commissioner Folwell to indefinitely postpone it had been lost by a tie vote was laid over to the lirst meeting in April. Attorney Koekwad submitted a report upon the city's title to the W. S. King tract, showing that everything above Forty-second street was clear of incum* b ranee, but that portions of the land ' below Forty-second street were mort gazed. Commissioner Lawrence said he had been informed that certain of the par ties holding tiies mortgages were will ing to give satisfactions, and the attor ney was instructed to secure as mauy as possible. LEARNING NEW TACTICS. Militia Trying to Forget, the Old Familiar Manual of Arms. La«t night Company A had a com petitive drill for a badge. It was the last one under the old system of tactics —Upton's tactics, as they are best known. Some of the local companies have been drilling under the new sys tem; that is. they have been attempting to learn the new tactics. Whole comp anies are now transformed into awk ward squads. The new tactics are en tirely different from the old. In view of the current talk of war with the poor little Chilians, this change in army tactics is ou interesting question. Some time ago a commission was appointed to revise anil improve where possible the tactics in use in the United States I army. The result of the labors of that commission is the new system. The commission took as a basis the tactics of one Lieut. Reed, aud made such additions ami changes as they deemed necessary. The new tactics Lave been adopted by the national euani. Now an old member of the national guard, a prize-drill win ner, can drill about as well under the new tactics as a ground hog can keep books. He must learn the business of soldiering all over again. To beglu with, the new tactics pre scribe "setting uo"' exercises, that is, calisthenics for the development of a .soldierly carriage, of twenty-four move ments. Those -.members ot the Minne apolis militia companies who have been put through all the movements say that it makes a man feel as if he had served an apprenticeship at swinging an old fashioned cradle through a New Eng land oat field. But it develops a man's muscles and makes him stand up straighter than, a ward politician before a bar. One of the most important changes from the old tactics is the man ner of falling into line. Under Upton's rules, the men fall in with arms at the side,and so close to one another that the elbows touch. Under the new tactics the men fail in with the left hand on the hip, and the projecting elbow touching lightly the right arm of the man next. Then the arm is dropped and the sol diers are in line with a space of nearly twelve inches between the men. That : makes it harder for them to keep in line, but it gives then more room for the execution of tiie movements of the manual. A mau has almost twice as much room as formerly for Dandling the piece. Then a man has a right now to look to the right or lefe when marching to enable him to keep in line. Another important change is t'sat made in the manner of fixing and unfixinr bayo nets, Tiie counts are [Uoue away witb, THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: IT ESDAT fcORNING, NOVEMBER 3, IS9I. and a man is allowed to look down at the bayonet when he is fixing it in place and again when he re turns it to the scabbard. The '•carry arms"' is almost abrogated. The order is usei\ but Jittl§. V ucler - he old manual, almost every move ment was executed from a "carry." Now it is different, and there is less work for th« man in the ranks and greater celerity. Several of the move ments of the old manual that were more ornamental than anything elss have* been stricken out. And so the chances go th roueti the whole list of movements in the manual of arms. The changes have ail been made with a view to In creasing the ability of the men in the ranks to do quick work. The new drill manual was not designed for the ex clusive benefit of dress parade com- Banden and peacock martinets. The idea of the men who compiled it seems to have been to prepare a manual that will enable an officer to tell his men what to do and leave them to do it in the best and quickest Banner possible. The Minneapolis militia boys like the new manual, but they hope that Jim Biaiiic- will hold off the war until they have mastered it. SALOONS AND CATHOLICS. Both Subjects Were Discussed by the Ministers* Meeting. The orthodox ministers yesterday ex ercised the time-honored privilege of all deliberative bodies to pass resolu tions. They were so anxious to reso lute that they almost forgot that Rev. J. S. Stout was down for a paper on. "Spir itualism in the Church." The resolu tions introduced and discussed ranged in character from a testimonial of sor row for the death of Dr. Tiffany to a fling at Catholics. Key. D. E. Wells beifan it with the following resolutions: Whereas, An ordinance has been intro duced to our city council for the- repeal of the Sunday closing; provisions of the ordi nance re. aline to the liquor traffic, which, . has been in force for several years; Resolved. That we regard this movement with me deepest pain and the strongest dis approbation as opposed to the eood morals of our city, as damaging to its reputation and prosperity, as destructive to the security ana happiness of many of the homes of our citizens, as disloyal to the laws of Minne sota, which prohibit ihe opening of drinking saloons, and the sale of intoxicating liquors Sunday, and as detrimental to tbe effort justly being made to secure Sunday as a day of rest for laboring men: that we earnestly appeal to the members of the city council DO* to repeal an ordinance which has the cordiai support of the gi eat majority of the law-abiding citizens of this city, and whose provisions have been ingrafted into our ttate law*. Resolved. That we respectfully urge upon the city council our conviction that they, ahould encojrage a large portion of the saloonkeepers and their employes who wish the Sund-iy rest and who desire the Sunday closing part of the ordinance relating to the liquor traffic be retained and enforced. Resolved, That vie appeal to the labor leagues, and to all organization? in our city which are from toil, that they make their voices and influence* felt upon the question. Resolved, That we request the publication of these resolutions in the dally papers of our city. The n.inisters were not Ion? in adopt ing them. They required but little dis cussion. AH were azreed. Then Rev. G. L. Mori 111 introduced the following: Whereas, The recent parochial school , transfers Rt Fim&ault and - rater have ! been accepted and incorporated into the public school -em of oar state with cer tain conditions and concessions expressly formed or acquired in intensely (sectarian discussion to creater or less decree, is carried on and maintained by mean of garb, bead*. pictures, songs and creed, ail of religious and sectarian significance. . Resolved. " That this body looks upon such compromise or concession on a religious basis as dang?rous in America. Resolved, That the *afety and stability of the public school stands upon the complete '■ divorce from clerical and distinctively de- i nominational instruction in public schools proper st tiny or all times. Resolved, Thai we protest against and de mand t!ie in»t!int removal of the clerical modes the Fnribaiiii and S:illwater school boards have allowed to enter. That precipitated a debate. Several ministers, among: them being Rev. J. S. Black, Rev. C. -M. Heard and Rev. Mr. McCasiin, thought it would be better to move slowly in this matter. It would be todiacuss them in the denom- I inational meetings. If the Jesuits were behind the movement, Mr. McCasiin thought, there would be great need for caution. Mr. Heard said something about the matter being premature, and Morrill flushed, blurting out: "What are we here {or if not to act on Important matters? Is this a mutual ad miration society to rehash yesterday's sermons?"' The matter was compromised by the resolutions being referred to Spear, : Heard aud McCaalin. When the paper on spiritualism was read, and the discussion began. Rev. 11. L. Hastings took occasion to say that the ministers need to read the Bible more and the newspapers less, as the newspapers are engaged principally "In telling us what the devil is doing."' IIUR RLE* ARRAIGNED. He Denies Alt Knowledge of the Shooting and Says He Was Full. Siegfried Hurrle, the man who fired three shots at his wife at the corner of '1 bird avenue northeast and Main street on Sunday, was arraigned In the munic ipal court yesterday charged with as sault in the lirst degree. When brought into cot.it Hurrle assumed a sort of dazed air. and after the complaint had been rend to him said, *\l don't un derstand that." Judge Mahoney then said: '"You are charged with having shot at this woman wilh intent to kill her." 11 rile then inquired when that was. and when told that it was Sunday, said "I don't know about that; 1 was full." When asked if be wanted an examina tion he said that he guessed so, and that he had one witness which he could se cure. The case was continued until to morrow. HILLS PROPOSITION. He Wanu the City to Pay Half of the Tunnel Cost. City Attorney Rowel and the city en gineer, of Minneapolis, went over to St. Paul yesterday afternoon to see J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern. They were closeted with Mr. Hill for two hours preparatory to the meeting in Minneap olis to-day. Two months ago the presi dent of the Great Northern wrote to the city council of Minneapolis asking for a conference in regard to lowerfwr the tracks of his road torough the city. The matter has been wilder considera tion by that august body for Mime • time, which finally resulted In their ar ranging the meeting. Mr. Hill's propo sition to them will be to grant the privi lege of lo wet ing the tracks of his line from Main street to Central avenue, a distance of seven blocks. In other words, he proposes to tunnel this dis tance, in order to relieve his road from any liability that may be caused by crossing the streets at grades. Mr. Hill thinks that; it is only a question of time when " the city will compel the Great Northern to do this for protection against the loss of life and property in the city. The question to-day, which will be an important one both to the company and to the city, will be that of standing the expense In the carrying out of the pTans. It is understood that the Great Northern people are willing to expend half of the amount, nicviding the coun cil will authorize the expenditure of the other half. 'Pond's Decision Goes. At the meeting of the county cor:.' sioners yesterday the county treasurer was ordered to refund to the West Min neapolis Turnverein the sum of $709.72. the amount erroneously paid as taxes Reliable Dyes for Cotton. If you want simple and relable dyes for cotton, colors that will not fade or wash out, use the Diamond Dye special cotton colors. These dyes come in all shades, and have proved their superiority by years of use. It Is foolish to try other dye stuffs for cotton, as there is nothing so : strong and Cast as Diamond. on property declared- exempt by the I court. Petitions for abatement of taxes ! from William Sto'jehton, the city of | Minneapolis and •'£. W. Babc,ock "were i allowed. Other routine business was j transacted. CAUGHT AT LAST. The Notorious Fourth Street Siren Rounded Up. The notorious Mme. Lloyd has' finally been rounded up by the sheriff, She was indicted for running an assignation' house on Fourth street several months ago, but escaped from the city before the indictment was placed in the sher iff's hands "for collection." When the sheriff went to the Fourth street dive to "collect" the madaioe, he found that she was very shy— so shy in fact that she had skipped out to Dakota. Noth ing more was heartU>f her until a few days ago when the sheriff was given a "tip" to scour the city of St. Paul in search of his came. He did so and succeeded in ar resting the madame in St. Paul late Saturday night. Yesterday morning the prisoner was arraigned before Judge Canty. She gave her name as Catherine E. Lloyd and pleaded not guilty to. the indictment. Her trial was set for Thursday: ELECTED OFFICERS. The Boss Barbers' Association Completes Its Organization. The boss barbers of the city met last evening in the barber shop in the Bank of Commerce building and completed the organization of the Boss Barbers' association by the election of the follow ing board of officers: F. A. Cole, presi dent: Ben .Scott, vice president: C. B. Smith, secretary; P. J. Savers. treas urer. A committee on by-laws and one to secure a hall for meetings was also appointed, and it was practically agreed to join the National Boss Barbers' asso ciation. Tiie questions of closing the shops at 8 o'clock aud making a uniform price of 15 cents for shaving was also discussed at great length, and although no defi nite action was taken, it is highly prob able that both of these measures «... L»t adopted. Robbed Hi« Sister. W. 11. Johnson, who has nnt-1 re cently been employed as clerk in a grocery store, was arrested yesterday on complaint of L. Hobart "fete I charging him with ihe larceny of two diamond rings, valued at t4O and $20 re spectively. The lines, one of which be longed to Mr. Stocklcy and the other to Miss Ida Johnson, a 'sister of the ac cused, were taken from Mi ? s Johnsou's room tin Nlcollet avenue some time on Saturday. Yesterday they were fouiid at (different pawnbrokers 1 establish ments, and, upon the description fur nished by the pawnbrokers. Johnson was arrested. He has confessed and will have a hearing to-day.
