itan Matters.
A ST. PAUL DEFAULTER.
G.. Is. Bryson Arrested i'm Chicago for
Embezzling Eleven Hundred
Dollars.
Another St. Paul man has gone wrong.
This time the victim is George B. Bryson,
man of fine business capabilities but poor
executive talents He knew enough to Sc
cure his pile but he did not know enough to
get over the line into Canada, and so he has
been captured. Bryson has for some time
past been in the employ of n. B. Hatch,
who keeps wholesale and retail tea store
Ill the Market building. He has held down
more recently the position of travelling man,
combining the duties of salesman with
those of collector. Up to month ago Bry-
sons accounts were submitted carefully and
regularly. All at once, however, Mr.. Bry-
sons correspondence became conspicuous by
its absence and his employer began to
wonder what it meant. inquiries only went
TO show that BryS0n had made several large
sales in different parts of Wisconsin and
that wherever he had been able
to raise any funds he did
so. More careful examination showed
But Mr.. BuySon had gone and with him
this amount of money. The last place he
was positively known to visit was Eau
Claire, where he was seen on the Goth OF
April. The case was placed in the hands
OF Chicago detectives, to whom was sent
description of the gentleman. Nothing
was heard of him since until yesterday,
when message to st. Paul stated that the
much-misSing man had been captured in
Chicago and was patiently awaiting an
officer TO escort him back to st. Paul. Ac-
cOrdingly last evening Detective Daniel
Ahern took passage on the $40 train to
Chicago and will return with the prisoner
on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
ST. PAUL'S SUMNER RESORT.
The improvements Being Made at
White Bear.
1t may be set down as fairly improbable
that there will be any more snow this sea-
son, although perhaps it would be unwfse
to make any very emphatic or confident
weather predictions concerning the change
able climate of Minnesota. But really, the
present indications are of an early opening
of the summer season at st. Paul's beauti-
full resort of White Bear, and the really per-
spring weather of the last two or three
DAYS is calculated to make the cottage
holder or the dWeller in hotels begin to
think about getting out his summer clothes,
his fishing paraphernalia, his palm-leaf fan
and hammock, and steering in the direction
i of the lake.
And speaking of hammocks, it might not
beout of place to remark that those for
lake use, which are fashioned on the model
of the neW-fangled tricycle., to hold double,
are growing more and more into favor, and
will be largely in demand, although,
after all, the hammock has yet to
be discovered which is so contracted in its
: dimensions that it will not hold two persons
. if the night be dark.
To return to the subject, the White Bear
season will open to-day. The Duluth road
! will put on its summer schedule of trains
tfhe hotels will open wide their portals, the
! steamboat will blow its whistle, and
/ everything will proclaim that the season is
! open,
AMONG THE HOTELS
! there has been the usual spring activity this
year, and guests will find everything in
good shape to receive them. Leip's hotel
and cottages at Cottage Park have been
thoroughly renovated, and will undoubtedly
be as popular in the future as they have
been in previous seasons. A band will be
in attendance through the season as usual.
The South will be well represented at this
resort this summer, several families from
New Orleans having already secured ac-
commodations there. Leip's enclosed park
will be let to private parties for games,
etc., but no entrance fee at the gate will be
permitted.
The Chateaugay hotel has been enlarged
by the addition of new wing with twenty
rooms and four new cottages. A large
number of the rooms in the house have
been newly furnished and decorated,
liberal application of paint and paper hay
ing been made.
The Williams house has also been nicely
cleaned and fixed up, and will undoubtedly
do its full quota of business.
MANIToU ISLAND.
The company which purchased Manitou
island has made good start; a
bridge to the mainland, a club house and
two cottages, and stable with accommoda-
tons for twenty horses having been built.
The work so well begun will be continued
this year. The club house will probably be
much improved, the drive-ways around the
island graded and taken care of, and the
lawns carefully dressed. The cottages
built last year belong to E. T. Drake and
Judge Palmer. There are now in process
of construction number more owned by
S. l.. Cary, Conrad Gotzian, @. l.. Rogers,
G. P. Moves, Senator Mcmillan and
others. Among those who have taken
lots on the island with the agreement of
building this year are j. l.. Merriam, W.
r. Merriam Fl. G. Thompson, f. B. Bass
and F. B. Clarke. Lots are also owned by
R. NJ. Newport, W. B. Dean, r. E. Peet
of Philadelphia, Gen. McLaren, III. NJ.
Knox, j. Q. Adams, j. P. Gribben and
Others, some of whom will undoubtedly
build cottages this year. All the island
cottages will be models of convenience and
elegance, and in the aggregate will repre-
sent an investment of a large amount of
money. The club house will be operated
this season for the first time. 1t contains
no sleeping accommodations, only arrange
ments for boarding cottagerst
There is considerable improvement going
on in and near the village of White Bear.
Ramaley has sold a large number of his
lots, and expects that fifty or more cottages
will soon be erected. OF the houses burned
last year all will be rebuilt eventually, al
though DR.. Bryants is the only one that
will be erected right away. John Getty,
Messrs. Brice and Murray and James Muir
ray are building nice cottages, and @. B.
Cobb, the station agent, is putting up an
imposing brick residence.
The fishermen who do not wait for the
formal opening of the summer season have
already been visiting the lake this year, and
have brought back substantial results, in
the shape of long strings of fish. The lake
is several inches higher than usual, and the
black bass are biting very freely.
