'A CLEAN MAN.
Outside cleanliness is less than half
the battle. A man may scrub himself a
dozen times a day, and
6till be unclean.' Good
health means cleanliness
not only outside, but in
side. I means a clean
stomach, clean bowels,
clean blood, a, clean
liver, and new, clean,
healthy tissues and fi
bers in every organ of
the body. The man
who is clean in this
way will look it and act
it. will work with
energy and think clean, clear, healthy
thoughts.
He will never be troubled with liver,
lung, stomach or blood disorders. Dys
pepsia and indigestion originate in
unclean stomachs. Blood diseases are
found where there is unclean blood.
Consumption and bronchitis
mean unclean lungs. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery prevents* these
1 diseases. It makes a man's
'insides clean and healthy.
It cleans the digestive or
gans, makes pure, clean
blood, and clean, healthy
flesh. It doesn make the
flabby fa^ of corpulency,
but the firm flesh ot health.
It restores tone to the nervous system,
and cures nervons exhaustion and
prostration. It contains no alcohol
to inebriate or create craving for injuri
ous stimulants.
Mr. John I,, Cougnenour, of Glen Savage,
Somerset Co, Pa writes. "My appetite was
unusually poor, and was as weak and nerv
ous as though I had been starved for months.
My heart kept throbbing continually and I was
short of breath Finally I wrote to you for ad
vice and you informed me that I had indigestion
and a torpid liver. I did not think your diag
nosis was right, but I ordered six bottles of
Golden Medical Discovery' from you and began
its use After using three bottles I began to im
prove slowly and soon went to work, and I have
been working ever since
Constipation is the'most* unclean un
cleanliness. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel*
lets cure it. They never gripe.

THE THURSDAY MUSICAL
The annual open meeting of the
Thursday Musical, held last evening in
Plymouth church, was especially inter
esting because of the number' of the
younger members of that organization
who were introduced to the large au
dience formally. Among them were
two musicians who have but ."just re
turned trom European study, and con
cerning whom much interest had been
evinced.
The first of these. Miss Agnes Lewis,
sa3g* a group of three Scotch- ballads,
which did not afford her the fullest
opportunity to display- her vocal tech
nique, but were doubtless more diffi
cult to sing effectively than some more
florid compositions. Miss Lewis has
a mezzo voice, rather inclining'to con
tralto, which she uses with unusual
skill anfl which shows fine training. I
is clear and pure in quality, althio not
of large volume*
Miss Margaret Giltinan, a pupil 01
miliar., The Strauss Schuett, "Fleder-
maus-''' paraphrase completed the trio.
Miss Giltinan showed an adequate tech
nique, with a singing quality of tone,
that was grateful. Her playing was
made less enioyable, however, by un
fortunate mannerisms.
Miss Edith Pearce sang "My Heart
Is Weary," from Thomas' "Nadesh-
da." a composition calling for'the most
exacting work and amplitu.de of pow
ers. That Miss Pearce sang it so well
is to be wondered at. She has a voice
at once full, clear and dramatic, and
with plenty of timbre. She* possesses
a physique thatv will prove a valuable
asset in her musical career. She also
possesses musical intuition and intelli
gence, and with the great labor with
ont -which there is no excellence," she
has an alluring musical future.
Miss Margaret Gilmor played a con
cert piece" by Weber, making great de
mands upon her technically, demands
which she' more than ,fulfilled. Her
technique is especially clear and crys
talline, reminding one irresistibly or
Adele aus der Ohe. Miss Efilalie
Ohenevert played the orchestral
parts on the organ, splendid
ly. Mrs. Maud TJlmer Jones and
Mrs. Elizabeth Brown Hawkins both
contributed interesting numbers, the
latter singing the familiar "Pleurez,
Pleurez, Mes Yeux from Massenet's
"Le Cid, in French, while Mrs.
Jones sang Elizabeth's "Dich Theure
Halle," from "Tannhauser," in Ger
man. Both were recalled, and Mrs.
Jones was obliged to respond with an
encore number, one of Gertrude Sans
Souci^s ballads, for which Miss. Sans
Souci plaved the organ accompaniment.
The Misses Anna De Witt Cook and
Margaret Drew played Rubinstein's
"Kamennoi-Ostrow" as an organ and
piano duet with fine effect. Miss
Drew's work was very effective and
Miss Cook secured fine results on the
organ. Miss Helga Jensen played three
violin numbers, the Godard "Berceuse"
being the most enioyable. The concert
closed with a trio, Henry Smart
"King Rene's Daughter," sung by the
Misses Hall and Lewis and Mrs. Charles
M. Lane". I is a beautiful composi
tion and was .Well sung, b.ut it added
too much to an already overburdened
program to be given that attention
which it deservedT

THE MINNEAPOLIS j6tmlr
Among the principal song successes
are the following: "I'm the Ghost
that Never Walked,'* "Love, Love,

Ling Fong," "Only You, "Unde?
the Goo Goo Tree," "Cordelia Ma-
lone," "The Melancholy Sunbeam and
the Rose," I Don't Want An^SWurtz
burger," and "Dolly Dimple."
At the Metropolitan next Thursday
evening an all-new and up-to-date ver
sion is promised of that most emphatic
of modern- successes, "The Wizard ot
Oz,'/ with Montgomery and Stone. No
musical extravaganza of recent ^origin
has so completely taken America by
storm. To say that "The Wizard of
Oz" is an enduring hit is putting it
mildly. Screams after screams of
laughter, round after round of applause,
encore after encore, reward the work
of the immense score of people engaged
in this representation. Such scenery
and such costumes as are disclosed in
"The Wizard of Oz" are rarely seen,
even these days of ultra-elaborate
productions. Such a bevy of pretty
girls could only be congregated by a
stage disciplinarian like Julian Mitch
ell. Such an amusing pair of four
footed favontes as the Cowardly Lion
and the Skittish Cow could only have
been secured by pillaging the foreign
school of great European pantomimists.
As a production '7fhe Wizard of Oz
is in its entirety a genuine novelty.
The^ is nothing approximating a sus
tained story in it but the little thread
of fairy tale upon, which the varipus
amusing incidents ^re ^ung sufficeB"to
amuse and pjdase 'totiitfCnildren and
adults. H.I
The constant succession -pf, beautiful
stage, pictures, the gorgeous transition
Of the Poppy Field from summer to
winter, tlie wonderful electricar^ffects
and' the picturesque ensembles of the
fourscore dashing beauties combine to
make "The Wizard of Oz" a spectacle
that enchants playgoers of all ages and
all tastes.
The ample feminine fascination of
"The Wizard of Oz" is an important
reason for the play's great success. Al
lene Crater, Berne Davies, Marion Stan
ley, Helene Maye, Bert Dean and
Therese von Brune head the beauty
brigade this season. Not only is the
extravaganza alluring in its femininity,
enchanting in its music, gorgeous in its
succession of splendid stage pictures,
but its humor has the flavor of novelty
that would alone insure the' success of
the play. The life and soul of "The
Wizard of Oz" are the Tin Woodm%n
and Scarecrow, most original concep
tions that provide precisely #he right
opportunities for grotesque character
izations. So numerous are the encores

B.C. Whitney's "gorgeous musical
production "Piftl Pifl Pouft" which
will begin au engagement of four
nights and matinee at the Metropolitan,
opening tomorrow night, was written
by Stanislaus Stange, author of "Dolly
Varden," and many tthe successful
production's. The music and lyrics
are by Jerome and Schwartz, whose suc
cess as song writers has not been
equaled, and in "Piff! Paff! PoufP'
these brilliant composers have added
to their reputations with over twenty
one immense song successes. "Piff!
Paffl Pouf!" was first produced at the
New York Casrno,# where it enjoyed
prosperity and uninterrupted success
Jor eight montns, or 285 performances.
The production is made by B. C.
Whitney, who has invested unlimited
capital in the exploitation of this fa
mous musical comedy. The story con
cerns one August Melon, who cannot
touch $2,000,000 left to him by his wife,
.should he marry before his four daugh
ters have foun'd husbands. As*the gay
widower cruises along the sands of At
lantic City for a wite, he meets the
dashing 1 widow, Lillian Montague,
whom he considers his affinity. Im
mediately they begin laying plans to
get the four Melon girls married off.
This situation leads up to a number of
other amusing and fikcruciatitogly fun
ny complications. Fred Mace assumes
Eddie Foy's former part as Peter Pouf
fle, the sandman, and Boberf E. Gra
ham, a comedian of ability, enacts the
character of August Melon, and the
widow falls to Kathryn Osterman.
Others in' the cast will be Nellie Hew
ett, Fred Hornbyi Lulu McContoell,
Chas. A. Morgan, Eveleen Dunsm'ore,
Harry Stuart, Gertrude Wallace, Martin
Cheeseman, Lisle Bloodgood and others,
including the famous "Pony Ballet,"

In selecting the company which will
be seen at the Metropolitan for four
nights and matinee commencing Sun
day evening, Feb. 4, in "tjleorge Ade'a
comedy, The College Widow,"' Henry
W. Savage received and examined hun
dreds or applicants. The play is one

so truly sketched by Mr. Ade and.so
completely realized by Mr. Savage's
company. "The College Wido w" af
fords an evening of fullest and rarest
enjoyment.
"The Serio-Comic Girl," a new com*
edy with music, will have its first local
presentation at the Metropolitan for
three nights and matinee, pemng
Thursday evenm" Feb. 8. Nellie Beau
mont and Richard Carroll head an
unusually strong cast, the former being
seen in the dual role of governess by
day, and serio-comic singer at night,
the latter as an up-to-date music-hall
manager. The plot is sensible and. rea
sonable and the situations and cli
maxes are decidedly laughable.
Orpheum
Lillian Burkliardt, the pioneer of the
dramatis sketch in vaudeville, has
never been seen, in Minneapolis, owing
to the fact that for the past three sea
sons she has been in retirement, and
her engagement as the headline feature
at the Orpheum theater next week will,
therefore, be in the nature of a novelty.
Altho Miss Burkhardt is known as the
lady dainty of vaudeville" from New
York to San Francisco, the legitimate
stage has had little to do with her
career, and patrons of vaudeville will
profit thereby.
It is five years since Miss Burkhardt
made her debut in vaudeville at
Keith's New -York, presenting "The
Salt Cellar." a little comedv adapted
from the German. Tt proved a great
success. Since "The Salt Cellar," Miss
Burkhardt has produced one piece and
sometiJnes two new playlets each season
she has been on the boards. Her reper
tory, of one-act plays i* more extensive
than that of any other actress on the
vaudeville stage, and wfien she pla
her usual ensa2ement in San Francisco.
where she remains a month at a time,
she puts on .a new play each week.
Miss Burkhardt will enact her latest
piece, A Strenuous Daisy," during
her engagement at the Orpneum, and
will be assisted by Arthur Hill, Orra
Gardner and Paul Harvey. A Padded
Cell'' is the rather gruesome title given
a decidedly hilarious musical skit, to
be presented by the Wilson Trio
Frank, Eva and Joe. They are singers
whb can sing, and their warbling har
mony includes the doing of "coon
songs" in real German. The Bellclairs
brothers are described as two of the
most perfectly formed men ever seen
in vaudeville, and their feats of skill
and strength are almost incredible. A
"pull up''from a prostrate position on
the floor to a hand-to-hand balance is
only one of their many feats. Marvel
ously graceful is the description given
the Esmeralda sisters, and their dance,
with their four flower ffirls, is one of
the daintiest and prettiest imaginable.
They have a number of intricate steps,
are clever in an acrobatic way and the
whole act is prettily costumed and has
the added charm of personal beauty.
Personal beauty will also have large
Slace
in the number given by Paulo and
larlow, under the title, A French
Frappe.'' In the opinion of many, Miss
Marlow is one of the prettiest women in
vaudeville, while Paulo is one of the
nimblest at French dancers, and their
act is ultra Parisian. Of all the female
impersonators who have achieved suc
cess in their calling, Harry Le Claire
stands alone as both an impersonator
and satirist, and he has well earned his
reputation for being "the Bernhardt
of the vaudeville" and "the Duse of
comic drama." He differs in so many
respects, from other act& involving im
personations as to give him the added
advantage of individuality. Jack Ir
win, monologist, and the kinodrome will
complete the bill. The Boston Fadettes,
the Marco twins, Al Lawrence, Nelle
Florede, Dixon and Fields, the Okabo

and cats conclude a highly prosperous
week this evening.
Bijou
Fascinating, to say the least, is' the
play of "Sherlock Holmes," which be
gins a week's engagement at the Bijou
tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. Written by
Wilhani Gillette and introduced by
him^ "Sherlock Holmes" has attained
a wide reputation as one of tne molt
thrilling and sensational melodramas
ever staged, illustrating the character
and methods of detection employed by
the famous hero of Sir A. Conon Doyle's
stories.
The first act opens at the home of
the Larrabees, a beautiful mansion in
the outskirts of Edelweis. Here Alice
Faulkner is kept captive by the Lar
rabees^ in order that she may divulge
the hiding palace of certain valuable
papers. She is being put thru an awful
ordeal when Sherlock Holmes appears
on the scene and spoils the little game.
The second act has5

first being the underground office of
Professor Moriarity. Here the plans
are laid to get possession 4f the pa
pers and capture Holmes. The second
scene shows Holmes' rooms on Baker
street. Here he is visited by Professor
Moriarity, who calls for the purpose
of killing him, but is outwitted in his
scheme by Holmes and Billy, Holmes'
The third act is the famous gas
chamber scene, a large," grimy room on
the upper floor of an ancient, rickety
building. I is in this scene tnat some

Watson's consulting room. I this act
Moriarity is captured by a clever
fichepie of Holmes', the missing papers
are returned to their rightful owner,
and all ends happily, Holmes himself
being captured by the fair Alice
Faulkner.
The countless theater patrons who
have followed the fortunes of this re
markable play are doubtless convinced
that William Gillette wisely chose to
consult Sir A. Conan Doyle concerning
material for an interesting stage study.
He had evidently become aware of the
intense fascination of the famous Sher
lock Holmes series of detective ad
ventures, and he was so enraptured,
over the possibility of bringing to life
the hero of this popular fiction that it
was little trouble for him to induce the
gifted romancer to write a fresh, enter
taining episode for dramatic" ends. In
order to make a perfect job of it, how
ever, it was necessary for Mr.Gillette
to lend his facile pen to the work, and
thus it happened that the Sherlock
Holmes of the play reveals those ro
mantic phases of character which all
human nature is heir to, and which are
looked for in every well-regulated stage
hero. The cold, cynical impulses of the
book detective have been perceptibly
softened in the instance or Sherlock
Holmes' surrender to the tender pas
sion. The love element of his individ
uality, which had lain so longjdormant,
is suddenly aroused by the responsive
ness of Alice Faulkner's heart, and it
is thru this medium that one of the
principal parties of guilt Is shielded
from responsibility. The 'Story impli
cating the "woman in question is cer
tainly a novel one, and the unfolding
of it is fraught with a great variety or
absorbing features, and affords ample
occasion for the introduction of $hose
comedy schemes for which Mr. Gillette
is juBtly renowned. Additional general
interested to the play is guaranteed
from the effective scenic environment
and the novel electrical conceits.
fpim. and
Lyceum
A notable production of "The Mas
ter at Arms romantic drama dealing
with the glorious adventures of Don
Cesar de Bazan, will engage the abili
ties of Ealph Stuart and his company
at the Lyceum next week. This play
was prepared especially for Mr. Stuart
by Miron Leffingwell, whom the actor
credits with having caught the very
spirit of the fighting, adventurous Don
in the myriad escapades which marked
his career, in "The Master at Arms
How rich rh incidents to kindle the
fancy of poet, romancer or dramatist
are the prodigious deeds of valor, and
courtship in which Don Cesar figured
can onl^ be appreciated by those fa
miliar with the works of Victor Hugo,
D'Ennery and Feval. There are a
number of stage representations of this
grand figure of romance, but Mr. Stu
art believes he wears the best likeness
of the famous swordsman and lover
when he-appears as "The Master at
Arms," a position of great dignity to
which the-darfhg Don was elevated by
King Charles of Spain.
At the opening of the play Don
Cesar, penniless and in rags, is known
as Zafai-bWwCtTi hw pltmje"" untar
nished. .fallen Jove wiifc Mari
tanna, a poor girl* who has been cheated
of^her estate, and compels Don Salluste,
who is the guilty one, to make ample
restitution. But, living in days when
men were "sudden and quick in quar
rel Don Cesar violates a royal com
mand by fighting a duel during car
nival week, and is sentenced to pay
the penalty with his life. He escapes
and lives to frustrate a plot against the
king's life, thus securing a pardon and
a return to the royal favor. The play
is replete with stirring incidents, altho
the beautiful love story whicji threads
it is the central theme. There is a
vein of rare comedy also pervading the
play and in this element Mr. Stuart
achieves a-personal triumph.
The play will be handsomely staged
and the full strength of the company
will be employed in the production. It
will continue thruout the week with
the usual matinees.
Unique
The Unique has secured a first-class
vaudeville bill for next week, which in
cludes three prominent acts new to
Minneapolis playgoers. The first is the
new dramatic sketch of Mr. and Mrs.
Joe J. Dowling entitled "The Sage
brush widow," in which scenes and in
cidents of tne far west are depicted.
The sketch affords ample opportunities
for the display of the versatile talents
of these clever people^ and is said to
be one of the distinct hits of the season.
The bill will also be found very strong
from the musician's point of view, in
asmuch as the three Banta Brothers and
Vondell, who have a standing in the
best vaudeville houses on the circuit,
are down for a fifteen-minute specialty.
Their quartet work, solo numbers and
all-around musical divertisement is
said to exceed their clever musical me
lange of last year. An act which never
fails to arouse great interest is that of
Albene and La Brant, mindreaders,
whose feats of mental jugglery are as
tounding. Their act is mystifying, or
iginal, humorous and wholly diverting.
The Juggling Parrotts claim to have im
proved upon old methods, particularly
adding a spice of comedy to their
skillful exhibition: A pretty act will
*be contributed by Dollie Wells, a bright
young woman who draws cartoons while
the audience waits. Miss Wells will
take liberties with some well-known
people about town in her caricatures
and promises to have- her audience's
with ner after the first picture. Wells
and Wells, in *a comedy musical act
Harold Beekrow and Herman La Fleur
in new illustrated songs and a new set
of motion pictures, will complete the
Unique's program.
Dewey
The Imperial Burlesquers, known by
all for its catchline "As good as the
best," will be the Dewey theater at
traction for next week. The com-
fhan
iany this season is larger and better
ever before and with the new
two-act comedy by Harry Williams, au
thor of "Tom, Dick ami Harry" and
"The Belle of Avenue A," and the
large company of selected artists, the
show should be ^ione other than the
name implies. As a special feature in
conjunction with the Imperials are pre
sented Charlie Neary, lightweight
champion of the northwest, and his
sparring partner, Eddie Toy, who will
give a scientific sparring exhibition at
each performance. Among pome of the
other principal people are Lillian Wash
burn, one of the fairest burlesque
queens that ever appeared upon the
stage Miss Pauline Moran, and the
Clipper Comedy four, Crawford and
Manning Lew "Palmer and William T.
Evens.

mittee, there were present Rev. C. A.
Hilton, Rev. Mr. Trabert. Rev. T. J.
McCronan, Charles T. Thompson, M.
O. Nelson and H. H. Bell.

lack of knowledge of missions, espe
cially on the part of the men of the
church, and commended the missionary
movement as a step in the right direc
tion. "What Ought I to Gain from
the Institute What Ought I to Take
to My Church?" and "The Relation
of the Pastors to the Institute," were
