A Family of Giants.

w. W. Cole, he Of circus fame, and proprietor
of the most complete amusement enterprise
now before the public has secured the greatest
OF mortal marvels, Capt. and Mrs. Bates, as an
extra attraction to his congress of wonders.
These mammoth miracles of human greatness
are, beyond doubt, the largest giants the world
has ever known, and certainly the largest iv-
ing Their combined weight is a fraction over
malt a ton, and in height but half an inch less
than eight feet. History does not establish
their equals, and the crowned heads of foreign
worlds unite in pronouncing this family of
gigantic greatness the most Wonderful gpeci-
mems of the human race. But Mr.. Cole with
pardonable pride, has not rested his exertions
with this nucleus, but has reinforced his large
and complete organization with every available
attraction that could be procured, and his
galaxy OF sterling artists boast of superiority
IN every detail of their calling. The menagerie
IS said to be exceptionally good, and far beyond
the average display of consumptive monkies
one-eyed parrots. There is a remarkable fresh
ness about everything connected with the show.
and particularly is this true in regard to the
collection of rare wild animals. and the newly
arranged street parade, which is pronounced
the grandest spectacle ever witnessed, COM
pletely outrlvallng the pompous parades of
ancient days, when Kings and counts appeared
IN carnival and cavalcades. Elephants in har-
ness dromedarles, horses, ponies, costly vans
dazzling armors, beautiful ladies', gallant
knights snd open dens Of carnivorous animals
all go to make up the miles of golden glory. to
be seen each day previous to the perform
ances IN the main tent where every advertised
feature can be seen for once paying. The date
fixed for st. Paul is Monday, June 10th.

CLIMBER OF C0M1lERcE.
Ringing in of the Old and New, with Rot
tine Business Accom- Dlished.

Ringing in of the Old and New, with Rou-
tine Business Accomplished.
Ihe regular meeting of the chamber of
commerce occurred yesterday morning, it
being the occasion of the ringing out of the
old board and the ringing in of the new.
Gov. Sibley occupied the chair.
The report of the board of canvassers was
read, stating the result of the election on
Friday last, which has already appeared in
the columns of the GLoRE.
Gen. r. W. Johnson presented the resig-
nation of Fl. M. Smyth, elected as mem
Der of the board. The resignation was
accepted, and resulted in the placing upon
the board of W. 3. Dean and E. G. Serb
ner, who had received All equal number of
votes.
The committees on canvassing for the
previous Wednesday and Thursday respec-
lively reported $185 and $115 collected, and
the secretary reported that the various can
vassing committees had gathered, in all,
81 1914.
After some conversation, the defaulters of
last year were permitted one week further in
which to pay up.
The work of the old board having thus
concluded, the new directors organized by
the election Of the following officers, all of
whom were nominated by Capt. Barney:
Gen. Sibley, president; William Lee, first
vice president: Pascal Smith, second vice
president; and F. Willius, treasurer.
In acknowledging the compliment of his
reelection, Gen. Sibley said he accepted,
with thanks, the position conferred upon
him, on the condition that he might be per
m1tted to resign whenever his other duties
enforced the necessity of his so doing. He
said his experience had led him to feel the
necessity Of limiting speeches to five min
utes' duration, as provided for in the rules
OF the chamber, and he hoped that no mem
Der would feel offended if he stricly enforced
the rule. (Applause)
A letter OF acknowledgment of the money
collected for the survivors of the Minnean-
Oils sufferers, was read from Mayor Rand, of
that city.
A petition and resolution, submitted by
Mr.. lngersoll, relative to road through Sec
ton three, of Rose township, was referred
to the committee on roads,
MI. McClung submitted the following res
olut1on, which was adopted:
Resolved, That special committee of five he
appointed to examine and report upon the FEAST
bility of establishing boom for logs. and
saw mills for manufacturing lumber at St
Paul, and the best way and means for making
st. Paul the principal wholesale lumber market
of the State
The committee under the resolution was
lett to the chair, and the chamber adjourned.

the language of pretzels and sweitzer to q
delicate, laughing-eyed maiden of some
eighteen summers: "Come along, Won. it il
now or never" and the judge, ali smiles, led
the way to the throne of justice upon which
ne seated himself, read carefully an official
looking document the gentleman handed
him, and told the gentleman to take the
lady's hand. The lady not under
standing English well, the VolEsseltuug
was sworn as interpreter, when the Judge
with an Impressive and solemn tone said
leopold Kottmann, do you take this
woman ct cetera, ct cetera, to which Leo
a poia !, answered, eyes, will.'' And then
sag me Judge: "Minna Noting, do you
tahe Inns ha man to be thy welded husband, to
