FUN ON THE SKI.
Preparations for a Club to Join the
Carnival Sports.

A meeting of Scandinavians interested in
helping on the sports of the winter carnival
was held in the ladies' ordinary of the Ryan
hotel last evening for the purpose of form
ing Ski OF Scandinavian snowshoe club.
Col. Christian Brandt reported that he
would train his men, numbering about
fifty, in the tactics on skis. These were
explained as being about ten feet in length,
and much the same shape as a tobeggan,
only not more than four inches wide. They
are usually made of pine, ash or hickory,
and it is possible to.become wonderfully ex-
pert on them. After more or less talk on
the matter it was decided to hold another
meeting of the Scandinavians of the city
next Monday evening at headquarters of
the Winter Carnival association for the
formation of a club. Col. Brandt said that
the regular drill code could be very artistic
ally given on the skis. and that
with practice it was possible to dis
tance fast horse with little effort
The motion was somewhat like that in
skating. One of the feats that was largely
practiced was jumping. and it was possible
to cover from forty to sixty feet with prac-
tice. 1t was customary, too. to erect
mounds or piles of snow, with one sde

ANXIOUS FOR THE REPORT.
Chamber of Commerce Discussion
of the ComptrOller's Document.

of the ComptrOller's Document.
The board of directors of the chamber of
commerce met yesterday morning, but as
they went into executive session very soon
after being called to order, not much business
of public character was done. The report
made at the last meeting by Mr.. Murray
from the committee on legislation, in regard
to the delayed reports of the city comp
troller, was taken from the table, and Capt.
BerKey opened up the discussion by point
ing out how the city had been demanding
the reports of the comptroller, and how, on
one preteXt and another, they had been de-
layed. He inquired if it was not the busi-
ness of the comptroller to make the reports.
and whether or not there was penalty at
tached to a neglect to make them. He de-
sired, he said. to protect the city, and de-
sired an explanation as to what should be
done to that end. He did not want to take
any violent steps, and did not want to go
before the grand jury with the matter. It
is possible, he said. that there is nothing
going on that is wrong, but while this NAV
be so, the people of St. Paul want to know
for certain.
Mr.. Murray represented that there was
nothing wrong about the reports. As he
understood. they were all made out and in
the hands of the official printer.
Mr.. Baker corrected Mr.. Murray, and
stated to the chamber that the delayed re-

STR EET SAYINGS.

There was little disposition on the part of
st. Paul men to criticise the action of Gov.
Hubbard in refusing to call the extra ses-
sion. Mayor Rice said he had been in favor
of one. because he thought in a growing
state like Minnesota there should be one
every year. Such men as Hon. G. K.
Davis and Gen. Sanborn said they would
not have called one if they had been sitting
in Gov. Hubbard's chair. Judge Egan said
that although some northern counties
wanted and ought to have one, it would be
as reasonable to ask President Cleveland to
call an extra session of congress because a
state or two needed one.

''you would ask Mr.. Scott to ventilate the
dressing rooms. They are adjacent to the
boiler, and are kept at temperature of
100 degrees. The stage is quite cool, and
the difference exposes us to the constant
danger of taking cold"

And speaking of Manager Scott, it was
related of him last night that he is eagerly
inquiring the price of ''sheboygans, with
an eye to joining in the sports of the winter
carnival.

$3.50 o'clock, at which the Rev. Mr.. Graves
delivered an address on the subject of The
Home Duties Of Women.
At the evening service at 1880 the clergy
officiating were the Rey. Messrs. Graves,
Gilfllan and Thomas. Among the
congregation sat the Rev. L. Jay
Cooke. The church was well filled.
The services began with Coronation hymn
by the congregation in spirited manner.
Prayers and the reading of a lesson followed,
after which '.ROck of Ages was sung and
then the Rev. Mr.. Graves, the chief mis-
si0ner of the evening, delivered most elo-
quent address. His subject was Personal
Responsibility. He drew the distinction in
O concise manner between matters over
which we have no control and those over
which we have the power OF free will.
For instance, a man cannot choose whether
he be born in England. Sweden. Germany
or America; he cannot choose whether he
be born in civilized or heathen country.
Neither have we anything to do with the
surroundings in which we are born. Some
are born of kingly parents. some are the
children of nOblemen, others are the chill
dren of peasants, many of the former class
have often wished that they belonged to the
latter; many have wished that they
had never been born at all. Although we
have nothing to do with choosing these
things for ourselves, we have something to
do, and that is to shape and mould
our lives so that they may become noble in
stead of debased.
The speaker went on to show that Chris
tianity is the great civilizer, and asked
what the world would be to-day without it,
and what will the world be thousand
years hence, unless we of the present time
do our duty in handing it down to our pos
terity.
Mr.. Gilfllan followed with remarks upon
the same subject, after which Mr.. Thomas
spoke briefly, encouraging the people of the
Church of the Good Shepherd upon the
work which they had undertaken. He con-
trasted this mission with the one held at his
own (St. PauPs) church last Lent, and esti-
mated that there are three times as many
people attending the mission at Christ
church and the Church of the Good Shep-
herd as there were at the last mission. The
service was concluded with an after meet
ing, in which there was an opportunity for
consultation with the clergy and individ1
uals present.
The regular missioners are the Revs.
Messrs. Graves and Gilfillan, and they are
| to be assisted during the week by the bishop,
Rev. Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Chandler.

ports were not in the hands of the Off
cial printer and had not been in his hands.
Mr.. Moves agreed with Capt. Berkey,
that we ought to have the reports, and If
we cannot get them within reasonable
time, then active legal measures should be
taken, and if it became necessary the
matter should be placed before the grand
jury.
Can't. Berkev said that if the chamber
desired to delay the matter and not take
action it was all right enough. He could
stand such work about the reports If others
could. He then began to read from the
statute. when he was interrupted by the
president. who stated that what the captain
was reading was embodied in the report
Can't. Berkey insisted that the matter ought
to be crowded now and that there should be
no delay in regard to the matter. In his
opinion there was no time to wait. 1t was
finally determined to lay the subject over to
the second Tuesday in January.
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
At this point the board of directors went
into executive session. When the doors
We're opened the secretary announced the
following in regard to the late vice presl-
dent, offered by Mr.. Drake and unanimously
adopted:
THE LATE VICE PRESIDENT.
The chamber of commerce OF the CITY OF
st. Paul hereby expresses the profoundest
sorrow for the death of Thomas A. Hendricks,
late vice president of the United States, cut
off so suddenly in the prime Of life and use.
fulness This chamber, composed OF men OIL
differing political parties, with one voice bear
testimony to the integrity and high political
character of the deceased, who has for more
than quarter of century been in public life,
and in all the various responsible positions
he has filled been without reproach. Th1s
chamber expresses its sincere sympathy for
the stricken family of the deceased and di-
rects that this tribute of sorrow and respect
be entered upon the minutes of the chamber
and a copy of them forwarded to Mrs. Hen
bricks.
SECRETARY M'NEALE.
The following resolution offered by Capt.
Blakely was adopted:
Resolved, That in the retirement of G. a.
McNeale from the secretaryship of the cham
ber, we tender to him an expression OF our
full appreciation of the zeal and ability with
which he has discharged the duties OF his
Office, and unanimously retain him in a posi-
ton which will devolve on him the discharge
of like duties, the growth of the chamber and
city having required the creation of another
office to relieve him of some of his onerous
duties and to discharge the additional duties
now required to be performed by the chamber.
