The mercury fell fifteen degrees in the
rotunda of the West hotel yesterday morn
ING. and while the clerks and pOrterS were
diminishing about in search of the cause,
Senator Sherman, the distinguished ONO

COMMANDED him raised the white halr OF
Mayor Pillsbury and played through the
silver beard of Hon. L. b. Langdon, VINO
were waiting.
..Solvedr' exclaimed the GLOBE man;
"noW | know the cause of the cool weather
of the past two days." and with an ecStatic
smile he drew near the group. Col. VIM.
McCrory, his ruddy countenance beaming
with warmth that detied the polar tendency
of the great resumption engineer, had just
presented Mayor Pillsbury and Senator
Iangdon. who were basking in the light re-
fected from the distinguished iceberg. The
latter. clad in a suit OF grey corkScreW,
looked almost genial, his face having lost
the worn and haggard look that dlgnlfled II
during the agonieS of the last gubernatorlal
campaign in Ohio. He was accompanied

of the Union Pacific road, boylsh-look-
ing man of some 80 odd years, his nephew,

Crows lightning express line. Senator
Sherman was telling Mayor Pillsbury sew
eral very pleasing things about his thriving
little municipality of Minneapolis, and Mr..
Adams was explaining to Senator Langdon
how MANY railroads he carried about in his
trousers pocket, when the GLOBE envoy
approached the party.

cratic press" said Senator Sherman, when
the formal introduction had taken place,
would be to depart from that path OF in
tegrity to which the feet of every Republi-
can politician are firmly glued-sometimes
But you,'' and he fixed his glittering eyes
on the reporter and pointed with an iclcle
finger. Twill Iinger in my esteem by asking

attempting another"
At this moment Col. McCrory rushed up
and carried the party up stairs. In the
club room of the hotel sumptuous lunch
had been prepared to his order and the gen.
uemen sat down to it. Col. McCrory took
the head of the table, with Senator Sher-
man at his right hand and Mayor Pillsbury
at the left, the lesser dignitaries ranging
along the sides. The table was decorated
with flowers and the menu was up to Col.
Shepherds standard. At 1 o'clock Col.
McCrory escorted his guests to the Milwau-
kee depot, where they took the train for
the East During their brief stay in the
city he had made it pleasant for them and
their praise OF Minneapolis was unstinted.
Col. McCrory and Senator Sherman are old
friends from away back.
