At tlie Grand Opera Mouse. St. Paul.
"The Little Minister" a beautiful
heart-filling story in the original
which Mr. J. M. Barrie, it's author,
iias successfully transferred to the
stage, will be presented at the Grand
Opera House for the first time in this
city at popular prices. The comedy
ran through an entire season in New
York, having exactly three hundred
performances, every one of which was
given to a standing-room audience.
Never until "The Little Minister" ac
complished it has any play succeeded
in attracting, night after night, with
out missing a single -performance,
audiences that claimed absolutely the
capacity of the house. It has gained
its tremendous favor by reason of its
pure, charming and simple story, told
the same fascinating way on the
stage that Mr. Barrie told it in the
book. "Lady Babbie," rougish and
bubbling over with mischief and fun,
but with a true little heart, is it's
heroine, and the play presents her as
if she had just stepped out of the
pages of the novel. All the quaint
and picturesque characteristics of the
Thrums elders and their associates
are preserved in the mimic panorama
of Scotch'life, and "The Little Minis
ter" is the veritable ordained young
gentleman himself, as interesting ancl
sentimental as "Lady Babbie" found
him. The role of Lady Babbie will
be assumed by Miss Frances Stevens,
an actress of admitted talent and abil
ity and will be supported by a strong
acting company, including the well
known playehs: Horace Mitchell, W.
C. Masson, Walter Crosby, Maude Gil
Thomas Greene, R. B. Graham,
Cecil Kingstone, Helen Lee, George
Conway, J. C. Carlyle, Howard Mor
gan, F. M. Harrison, Harry Lillford,
Mary B. Henderson, Marie Williams
and many others.

killed in that. The bridge was al
most finished, and was ready to turn
over to the railroad people in a week
or two. It had three camel-back spans,
and it's piers were supposed to be on
blue hardpan. A coffer dam had been
built over one of these and filled up
with concrete and cement. Big, solid
blocks of stone had been put upon that.'
We had been given the foundations
for it all right, and we'd put our iron
work on that. There was a big trav
eler up, and when the pier gave, and
two spans crumbled with a crack, the
traveler, of course, came down. One
man on it never tried to jump, and

on to a cord (of steel). He was never
hurt. That particular steel bar hap
pened to stop ten feet away from the
water, and he simply climbed off.

Ivory from the Congo,
Only a small proportion of the ivory
annually exported from the Congo is
taken directly from newly killed ani
mals. Thus, during 1899, of the 29,-
985 tusks sold on the Antwerp mar
ket, 8,539 alone came from freshly
killed animals, the remaining 21,446
tusks being what the natives term
ing little intrinsic value, but useful as
articles of exchange. The Khartoum
merchants were the first to discover
these hidden reserves of ivory. Later
on the Zanzibar traders rushed on to
Katanga, and thence to the very heart
of-the Congo, with the result that the
ivory trade soon became the principal
industry of the country.
CITY NICKNAMESw
Fitly Given in Various Municipalities i
This Country.
For years Buffalo's claim to th
name, Queen City of the Lakes, has
been hotly contested by Chicago, De
troit/Cleveland, and even Duluth, but
no one could lay claim to the Bison
city, by which it has often been desig
nated. It now adds another name to
its list, which will probably not be
disputedthe Rainbow city, in defer
ence to the exposition. Chicago dur
ing the period of the World's Fair
was known as the White city, in ac
knowledgement of the staff on its fair
buildings, but the title did not sur
vive the close of the fair, and it has
.'everted to its former name. Garden
city, although it is more frequently
referred to as the Windy city. St
Louis has, perhaps, th* largest num
ber of nicknames. It has been called
the Iron .city, the Mound city, the
Beer city, the American Frankfort and
the New Vienna. Years ago Rochester,
N. Y., was entitled to the name Flour
city, on account of its large flouring
mills, but that industry has long
since followed the" course of the em
pire and. gone west, and it can no
longer claim that distinction. It is
known, however, in these days as the
Flower city, on account of the large
nurseries surrounding it. Syracuse is
known as the Salt city, Although it is
no longer the leader in that industry.
Pittsburg is the Smoky city, and Cin
cinnati and Cleveland might lay claim
to the same name. Among the names
which have been longest associated
with American cities are: Gotham for
New York, Baked Bean city and the
Hub for Boston, Quaker city for Phil
adelphia, Monumental city for Balti
more, Crescent city for New Orleans,
and City of the Golden Gate for San
Francisco.Mechanical. Engineering.
