III the FESTIVITIES, Wnlcl included dancing
and feasting. The gifts were numerous
and of the most beautiful and valuable
character.
Mr.. John II. Langton, chief clerk of the
Clarendon, is decidedly one of the most
popular hotel men i'm the West and he re-
ceives multitudes of compliments. Last
week one of the editors of the jamestown,
n. Y. Sun published truthful little notice
Of him. and from it l quote: ''He is eX-
ceedingly popular with all classes, and, True
to their refined taste, the fair sex seem to
look upon our esteemed friend as particu-
lar favorite, whose polished manner and
close attention elicit their sweetest smiles. "

Young of Division street part of the time,
and were entertained by Mrs. Sherwood
HOugh and Miss Hough of Twelfth street
1t was Mrs. Morrison's first visit to ST.
Paul, and Mr.. Young declares that it was
for the purpose of bringing her hither that
Mr.. Stickney built his new railroad.
. I give Mr.. J. E. Atherton of the Ameri-
can Express company credit for great taste,
but the cunning of lady's hand was ap-
parent in the decorations in his window yes
terday. On a massive gilt easel stood a
splendid equestrian picture of Gen. Grant
with the legend, Il propose to move imme-
diately ON your works." beneath. BY the
side of the easel stood the sheathed sword
of the honored Gen. Willis A. German. 1t
was an affecting combination.
Mr.. Carlton ii. Gould of New York,
nephew of Jay Gould, with DIR. Lee of Aus
tria passed through ST. Paul last week en-
route to the ranch of DIR. Lees brothers in
Montana, where they will pass some time
in hunting. They return early in Septem-
Der. accompanied by Mr.. George Gould, son

interested in the Elgin watch works, pack
ing house and Home National bank. On
their return from the Yellowstone park
Miss MacllIett will leave with them for a
visit of indefinite length, by the steamer
City of st. Paul.
1t is useless to send cat Home" anony-
nous communications, for he will assume
the responsibility of publishing nothing that
he is not positive is correct. Many pleasant
and undoubtedly accurate items find their
way to the waste basket weekly because
the writer has failed to append his or her
name 1t is probably unnecessary to add
that mis- sources of information are never
diyulged.
Miss Mary McRoberts of the West
side left last Thursday for Portland, o.,
where she will visit friends for some time.
Miss McRoberts is an artist of rare skill and
a student of Frisbie's. During her absence

Mr.. w. S. Morton of Nina avenue has
surprised his friends by developing genuine
talent as an inventor. He has perfected an

1t is a most humane device and is destined
to prevent the terrible accidents so frequent
now.
