The POrtrdyer, st. Paul's new pictorial pa

struggle through five weeks of anxious exis-

held its demise. The paper met with consid-
cradle public favor from the start but was not
organized on a sufficiently sound financial
basis TO endure the trials to which all new
ventures of that character are subject. The
result is that Warwick e. Costello, Autograph
ers, lose about 500 in the snap, and have,
on the other hand, gained an unusual amount
OF experience for SO brief time. Their reg
ular business will, however, be carried on as
usual.
