The Dalles Clnb Minstrels Flay to a Crowded Houie-Many Words el Praise In tbelr Behalf. More than the unexpected happened Saturday evening when The Dalles Club MinBtrela presented their show to the public. The production has been looked forward to for some time as one of .the events of the season and a more happily surprised audience could not have been The boys acquitted themselves in a man ner that showed they were far superior to many traveling troupes that visit onr city and by c ming before the public more frequently would undoubtedly be come artists ia their respective lines, The Vogt opera house was crowded and it is estimated there were four hundred and fifty paople present. This is noth ing more than a show of appreciation which is right and proper, for no matter when called upon, by whom or for what purpose, the "boye" have always lent a helping hand. At 8:40 when the curtain arose and Bhowed the entire company on the stage they were greeted with rounds of ap plause. After the opening overture the -'first thing announced on the program by ' the interlocutor, N. J. Sinnott, was the comic song, "Mr. J oh u eon Don't Get Gay," by J. F. Hampshire, who ac--qaitted himself in his usual facioatiAr -way. Next was a bass solo by William Frank, who, indeed, has a fine yoice and without doubt will be a singer of some note. Arthur LUark followed with a comic song entitled "I Don't Care if You Nebber Come Back" and was well re ceived. That beautiful song, "She Was Bred in Old Kentucky," was then ren dered by Chas. Clarke in his sweet voice, and brought down a storm of applause. He very gracefully responded to an encore and sang "Just One Girl," and when through was greeted with rounds of applause. W. C. Croseen sang "My Ann Elizer" and made great hit. This ended the first part, but between songs the end men, who were Hollister, Crossen, ' Hampshire ' and Arthur Clarke, made some very clever local hits, which were appreciated for their origin ality and appropriateness. The second part opened with a duet by Hazel Waud and Lei a Kelsay, en titled "How I Love My Lu." They were warmly received . but when they finished the house simply went wild with applause. For such young children they did better than was expected, in fact it was one of the. best numbers on the program. The "Quaker City Quartette," composed of W. Barrett, F. Snipes, C. Heppner and Wm. Erank, then appeared on the stage and sang several selections which pleased the au dience greatly and was all that could be ' desired. The famous "Lorenzo Brothers" locally known as Carey Ballard and Claud Kelsay were the next attraction, and from their first appearance - on the stage had the entire'attention of the au dience. Their tumbling, jumping, somersaults, and feats in this line was well worth the price of admission alone. The Legerdemain act by Messrs. Daw son and Heroux was one that held every ' one in suspense for one trick so closely followed by another required the utmost attention. It will be but a short time until Mr. Dawson will rival the famous Hermann. A clever character .sketch by Messrs. Crossen and Frank "The Warmest Babies in Coon Town" is especially de serving of mention. They acquitted themselves gracefully and were perfectly at ease while on the stage. Their tarce tragedy was- cleverly executed and was warmly applauded, which showed that the audience more than appreciated their efforts. J. F. Hampehire and Arthur Clarke in their original sketch "Life in Alabam" were superior to any time they haye yet appeared before a Dalles house. They are always good but this was the time they excelled themselves. In the first of their sketch they took the part of an old couple and sang an old time song, and then Mr. Clark in a lightning change appeared as a dandy and amus ed the audience with a monologue for a few minutes until Mr. Hampshire, thefe male impersonator, put in an appearance when they eang several songs in their usual pleasing way, receiving rounds of applause, and as an encore did some very pretty dancing, introducing many new and difficult steps. The cake walk, which was the grand finale of the play was one of the best ever produced In the city. It is thought by some had the "walkers" partaken in the grand cake walk given at the Irish fair in Portland Friday, our "coons" would have surely carried away the prize. ired Van JMorden, in an excel lent and easy manner, as master of ceremonies, introduced the couples and led the way. The first to appear were the little girls, Hazel Waud in full dress costume with Lela Kelsay on her arm. They did very creditably and held the audience in a spell for no more graceful couple were seen on the stage, Messrs. Crossen and Barrett then came upon the scene and from the applause tbey re ceived one would have thought the cake was theirs. Next came Messrs. Parkins and Heroux and executed some very pretty steps and were awarded several rounds of applause. Messrs. Snipes and Heppner appeared in very pretty cos tumes and with grace and cleverness gave the spectators one of the prettiest dances of the evening. They were followed by Messrs. Frank and Gilford and from the moment of their entrance were given re peated applause. Their make-up was exceedingly good and tbey did more than justice to themselves. Last, bat not least, were the stars of the evening. Messrs. Clarke and Hampshire, who executed a most difficult dance and were received with a most cerdial greeting. After the grand march the contestants lined up and as the cake was presented before each couple they were given re peated applause. The last in line were the little Misses Kelsay and Waud and when the cake was placed before them he building fairly shook with the ap plause by the audisnce. As announc on the program the couple receiving the most applause was to be awarded the cake, so the last named couple was the successful one. The orchestra, under the direction of Prof. A. T. Baldwin, discoursed sweet music during the performance and the audience listened to- it with great pleasure. Besides the players much praise is due R. H. Lonsdale, who is business man ager of the company, for a great deal is due to his efforts that the show was the decided Buccess it was. As a parting we will say, boys, you have worked hard to give the public a good time, and we can candidly say you have succeeded to the uttermost. How to Prevent Pnenmonla.

SKREAT CANNON MAKEBS, Jhe Kruppa and Their Big Plant at Essen. Gacrgy and Enterprise Achieve Un surpassed Success Factt About tbe Enormous Els tab- - -lisbment. The city of J3ssSn is located in, the senter of a hilly valley, which abounds in coal and iron ore, and the digging for both and the melting of the ore and casting the metal into ingots and roll ing it into bars have been the occupa tions of the inhabitants for centuries past. Frederich Krupp, the founder of the great works bearing his name, was born in 1787, and when crucible cast steel was first being introduced in England, and its importation from there into Germany had been made im possible through the edict of Na poleon called "the continental-speere," Y. Krupp began to produce crucible sast steel, first in small quantities for tiles, stamps, rolls for coins and shears, out only slowly could he convince and persuade German manufacturers to use ois cast steel, and after a life full of iisappointments and hardships he died ja. 1826, after a long and severe illness, .eaving to his son Alfred little else than the old homestead, which still stands jn the midst of the great works, and the secret of his invention. Alfred Krupp's energy and enterprise soon conquered. His first success was to be able to furnish cast steel of a varying degree of hardness, thereby in creasing its adaptability for many new purposes. Next came the invention of the weldless car wheel tires, which were patented in 1853 in all countries and furnished him capital for enlarg ing his plant. "In 1865 he interested himself in coal mines, iron ore mines and furnaces, which should furnish the material f ov his own works, and in 1867 he began to reap the harvest from bis experiments inaugurated long since with steel cannons, and the great Franco-German war .of 1870-71 proved beyond doubt their superiority as against the old bronze cannons. Since then the success of these works and their growth have been phenomenal, and when Alfred Krupp closed the busy and successful and philanthropic work of his life in 1S87 at Villa Huegel, his princely home on the side hills of the valley of the Euhr, the city of Essen, in recognition of his great work, erect ed in his memory a beautiful monu ment on the most prominent square of the city and deputations from many nations mourned at hi3 grave. Essen is a city of 90,000 inhabitants, and over 20,000 of this population are employed in the works of the able and energetic son of Alfred Krupp Fred- rich Alfred. Over 1,200 acres of ground are covered with buildings and ma chinery. Many coal mines furnish fuel for the works, over 400 iron ore mines furnish the metal, and large iron ore deposits in Spain, near Bilboa, have been purchased in addition, and a spe cial fleet of steamers has been built which bring over 300,000 tons of this Spanish iron ore from Spain to the German coast and up the .Rhine. Twen ty furnaces at Duisburg and Neuwied-on-the-Ehine are reducing this ore for the Krupp works and are owned or controlled by them. The main street of Essen divides the, Krupp works into two parts, connected overhead with innumerable mammoth steam pipes and bridges, and parallel with it, running east and west, the tracks of the Hhcnish railway pass the works in the north, v.-liile in the south the railroad leading from Susseldorf to Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin skirts the mill. Innumerable tracks connect these two main lines of railroad, sur rounding in an inextricable network the buildings and crossing the street leading to Ji-uc-Iheim below its level, Powerful locomotives bring train loads of raw material into the yards and leave the works with valuable products, finished Aud ready 'for shipment to all parts of the globe. Miniature engines and cars move about between the build ings on narrow-gauge tracks, bringing material of smaller size from one build ing to another until it 13 finished and ready for the market.
