STREET SAYINGS.

A hard-looking citizen. with bloated face
and blood-shot eyes, staggered into a
Wabasha street drug store yesterday, and
Keeling up to the counter said to the clerk:
''Gimme er whisky an SeltZer."
With sort of a sinister smile the clerk
replied: ''That is something that we don't
seltzer"
With haggard and careworn look the
bum shifted out into the street.
M

ested party" said a citizen yesterday,
but as have worked in the capacity of
newspaper reporter considerably in my day,
| naturally have good deal OF sympathy
for them. Now that st. Paul is becoming
thoroughly metropolitan in her journalistic
enterprises it seems to me that the repre-
sentatyes of the press should be shown
some Difference by the street-car line In
nearly every large city in the Union re-
porters wear professional badges. which
gives them free transportation on the
street-cars. If the same privileges were
granted The reporters OF st. Paul
the street car company would suffer no in
convenience, and they would be doing a
favor to that class of men who are entitled
to that distinction equally as much as the
police"
''If you ever go into the restaurant bust
ness" said prominent restaurateur TO
Sayings ''dont fail to put pretty Lady as
cashier behind the counter, she is drawing
card that cannot be equaled by good
cook or gentlemanly walters. She helps
the sale of cigars, too, for there is no man
but who will drop into a place where he
can sit down to the table and cast covert
glanceS at a pretty woman in preference TO
any other. and then he will buy cigar
whether he wants one or not. just Tor the
sake of minute or two chat with pleas
ing girl. You may think Pm overdraWing
the thing, but the next time you go into a
restaurant where there's a pretty cashier.
you'll notice that the young men, and old
ones, for that matter, sit at the table in
such position as to enable them to look at
her,"
"Billy Wilson is the best referee that ever
decided fight in this country" remarked
one enthusiastic st. Paul citizen yesterday.
''He is cool-headed and he knows what he's
talking about, besides he is fair in all his
decisions and he wont be bulldozed."
Speaking of Donaldson, the man continued,
"he's too hot-headed and has made himself
conspicuous at fights by jumping into the
ring and trying to run things. AT the Car
diff Wilson mill he come the same
game and exchanged blows with
Hadley. 1t would have served him right
if Billy Wilson had hit him in the jaw to-
dav when he was squabbling with Brady.
noticed he stepped outside OF the ropes
wheu Billy ordered him to; if he hadn't,
he'd nrObably been knocked out"
Young Mems Day.
Yesterday was observed by many of the
churches in the city as day especially de-
voted to young men, and the sermons in
several OF the churches were upon topics
directly bearing ON the subject, while in
nearly all some portion of the services were
of this nature. Many of the pulpits
were filled portion of the
day by the visiting members
of the Sunday school union, that completed
its sessions on Saturday night. Last even
ing the Rev. DR.. Crowell of Philadelphia,
secretary of the union, Rev. NJ. Sulzer of
Albert Lea and Rev. Frank Jewett of Chi
cago gave interesting talks on the work OF
the union, its nature and the needs for its
prosecution. At the close of the service the
Rev. Dr. Dana spoke word, which he said he
felt was due the visitors and the city. If it
had seemed to any that the reception had
not been as warm as it should have been,
the weather and the fact that the nature of
the gathering had not probably been fully
appreciated, this being the first of the kind
here, would account for it. He believed
however, that the sessions had been dl-
rectly beneficial to the city.
