ought to do So" remarked a gentleman in
the rOtunda last evening. Ill would allow
the members to arrange definitely where
they will spend the winter. | know of two
or three who are on the ragged edge to
know what to do. Harry Downs of Min
neapols wants to 60 to the Hot Springs if
there is none and Senator Waite wants to
go to Florida, but neither would think of it if
he were certain of an extra session. | pre-

1t was at the Gilmore concert yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Fred Lax was just finish
ing his wonderful performance on the flute.
A beautiful maiden was observed in the
audience, her breast heaving with sup
pressed emotion, her eye glstening with
suspicious moisture-the very picture of
rapture; and, as the lastmelodious tone died
away, she turned to her escort and in a
trembling voice remarked, ooh, hasn't he a
lovely mustache!"

Stilwell, prisoner in the county Jail, is
quite ingenious in his way, and employees
his time in using his knife in the making of
odd and unique ornaments. The latest
fruit of his labor is a beautiful miniature
arm chair. made from the quilts and feathers
OF a duck and pins. He presented it to
Frances Richter, a daughter of the sheriff

The fate of pretty Mary Schneider, the
unsophisticated young girl who linked her
fortune with Won Hong, the Chinese laun-
dryman, is deplorable one. She was a
charming brunette, with an intelligent face
and form that any society lady would
grow envious over. Coming to this country
with her parents a little more than
year ago she secured employment in Won
Hong's laundry, and in a moment of wild
infatuatiOn, she became his wife. The
sequel is hardly more than could be eX-
pected; her Celestial swain soon tired of
her and eXacted degrading labor until at
last she fled from his roof. and probably
realizing that she had brought the everlast-
ing reprOach of her parents upon herself by
her injudicious matrimonial freak. sought
out well-known Fifth street bagnio and
entered upon life of shame and misery.
Secretary German Of the board of public
works returned from weeks mysterious
absence yesterday morning. The where
abouts of the genial secretary during his
absence has been the S0licitude among the
reporters, but he confdentially divulged the
secret yesterday. 1--WE been on hunting
trip in the southern part of the state"
said he, but for goodness sake don't say l
told YOU" for if the fellow who owns that
bear 1 shot down there gets on to me he'll
do me up sure pop"

The Dayton's Bluff and West st. Paul
unions are organized on about the same plan
as the chamber of commerce. One of the
rules of these unions. copied from the
chamber, is that any member who is absent
on account of sickness or absence from the
city shall be excused. One of the members
of the Dayton's bluff meeting last evening
tried to have another member excused be-
cause his wife compelled him to go to the
concert. He claimed that this was a case
of sickness, but the other fellows did not di-
agnose the case that way, and sat down on
the proposition hard.

"Who is that gentleman sitting between
John Barnes and Joe Lannan?" asked a
gentleman of Street Sayings at the Ryan
last evening. Though the latter has often
seen the gentleman before he did not know
who he was. But some one who heard the
remark stated he was known in sporting
circles as Diamond George" and very
hard hitter.
