ice palace, it is to be hoped that the board
of directors will not neglect the very I'M
portant precaution of submitting the plans
to Chief Black of the fire department for
suggestions regarding facilities for extin-
gushing fires and for escaping from the
building in case it takes fire. One OF the
most horrible deaths that could be imagined
would be to be burned up in an ice palace,
and holocaust of this character, in which
hundred people might be consumed,
would not only be all effective damper on
all future enterprises of this character. but
it would cast gloom over the entire COM
munity.
QAfter the adjournment of the ice carnival
meeting last evening Mr.. j. II. Hanson
produced romance from Minneapolis en-
titled A Tale of Two Cities, and read some
choice extracts from it to the assembled cit
liens. It seemed to be the general opinion
that it was valuable campaign document
for st. Paul.

A young man who occupied the proud
position of transportation editor on
morning paper played brilliant but brief
engagement last evening in the dining-room
of fashionable hotel. where he has lately
gone to board. The meal being con-
Guided he carefully took from one
pocket package of rice papers, and from
another small pinch of tobacco. A CT
garet was deity rolled, and from another
pocket match was produced, and in an
other moment the luxurious clouds of
smoke were rising toward the ceiling, while
walters and guests gazed in hOrritied and
open-mouthed amaZement. 1t didn't take
him but a minute to tumble however. and
the time he made from the table to the
door has never yet been equaled in that
dining-roOm.
A young man obtained permission yester-
day from the mayor to carry a revolver.
There is an ordinance which requires that
all persons carrying concealed weapons
shall first obtain ritten permit from the
mayor, but as only about fifteen permits
have been taken out, and at least 2, 600 per-
sons carry revolvers, the ordinance is prac-
tically a dead letter.
