RETURN OF THE DADDIEs.
The Aldermen Return from Their
Trip to Chicago.

Trip to Chicago.
The special car that took the aldermen to
Chicago on their pleasure trip last week re-
turned yesterday over the Omaha road, az
irving in the city at 2:15 p. m. Thirteen
members of the party that went down re-
turned. AID. johnson was one of the num-
Der, and he went directly from the depot to
his office in the city hail. twirllng a bran
new ivory-handled umbrella in his hand.
The reporters were promptly on deck and
uuizZed the alderman as soon as he showed
up. He seemed in good spirits,
but wore rather iaded look
which he claimed was due to the large
court house, dime museums and various
other attractions in Chicago. We've had
bang up time" said the alderman, lean
ing back in his chair. ''Everything went
off like a charm, and if we had had good
weather we would have been perfectly
happy: but it was cloudy most of the time,
and that sort of dampened our spirits; but
we sailed in and did the town in true West
ern style. Before I'd been there an hour l
had begun to contribute to the orphans,
one-armed men and children with invalid
mothers. and kept it up until l ran out of
small change. when l had to turn a deaf
ear to all the complaints of the beggars who
seemed to have caught on to me as sort OF
special providence. l visited all the pubic
buildings and got many valuable pointers on
how they do business in that wonderful
city that [ think will be of great value to
me. [ spent nearly half day in Leh-
mans fair; took in the theaters, museums
and the panoramas, and just let myself out
to enjoy myself"

eve simply had a good time down there
and that is about all that can be said," re-
piled Aid. Van Slyke to a GLOBE reporters
question. ''The aldermen visited the parks
and some who had not seen them before
were impressed with the desirability of such
things in the city. 1 learned one thing that
will be of practical value, think, in the
matter of transplanting trees. Even when
the weather is no colder that at present, it
is damaging to them to have their roots eX-
posed over night, and if they do not reset
them the same day great care is taken to
carefully cover the roots with blankets at
dark. This l was told is necessary. Men
who have been doing this work for us in
st. Paul have never taken any such precau-
ton, and if some have died that may ac
count for it. We all had a fine time"

CITY ATTORNEY MURRAY.
City Attorney Murray looked surprisingly
bright and wore clean shave and an i'm
maculate collar when the reporter strolled
into his office and stretched himself out on
a convenient sofa. ''Well, Mr.. Murray,
did you have good timer" he quizzed.
''Well, l should remark" he replied.
"When gang of st. Paul aldermen go to
Chicago and fail to have good time the
thermometer stands very low. I'm pretty
tired, though, from walking so much. You
see, l would have ridden on the street cars,
but the first day got there l got onto
car, supposing, of course that we had the
freedom of the city and everything was
free. When the conductor came around
for my fare smiled at him and said: Pm
st. Paurs attorney 4 don't care d-n
if you're st. Paul HIMSELF he said,
you give me er nickel or I'll fire you out
DOORS 1 paid the nickel, and the pas
sengers laughed-that's way they have of
doing business in Chicago; so I got off and
walked, but l went very slow, for 1 was
afraid if went unusually fast I'd have to
pay gait money, see? Ha! ha! hal"
Did you go down to the Buckingham,
Mr.. Murray?"
mo, didn't go; but the other boys
went down there"
AID. PETSCH.
Aid. Petsch combined business with
pleasure, and he hadn't been in the city two
hours before he asked Aid. Lawler to take
him around to see the bulls and bears he
had read so much about.
''It's too late now," replied Mr.. Lawler,
shut we'll go around tomorrow
Tomorrow came, and AID. Petsch, in
company with Lawler. started for the stock
exchange. The stood around awhile,
when Petsch ast"hed Lawler AID whis-
psred, 'Where'rs the animals?n
What animals?n
''Why, the bulls and bears
Here they are, my boy; all these here
are bulls and bears"
IS that so, thought you was going to
run me into some id menagerie."
''Did you visit the Buckingham, Mr..
Petsch?" inquired the reporter.
mo. [ didn't, but the other boys went
down there"
CHIEF CLARK.
Chief Clark fell into the hands of the de-
tectiveS the minute he reached the city,
and he was unable to release himself until
he left for home. He was the only man in
the crowd who would admit that he went
to the Buckingham. and he defended him
