CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago friends
OF the carnival were much pleased TO sea
the abatement Of the extreme cold weather
that attended the opening of the ice palace.
but when the thermometer kept steadily
rising, passing zero and the freezing point
and still going onward and upwards, we
were filled with CONSERVATION and regret at
the untimelY end of our kings abode. but
our good spirits soon returned when we
found 1t was done to put more beautiful
nnlSh upon its crystal walls, and one that
could not be executed by human skill; thus
was the Fire King and his alley, ''Old Sol"
defeated, only identifying that which he
intended to destroy, but we know all is safe
now, as King BOrealis and his hosts are
again in the field, and the great ice palace
Will continue as advertised.
The great enthusiasm which characterized
tne opening week of the carnival was echoed
mere, ana was proof conclusive 10 the many
uouOtlng ones that the details of the pro-
gram would be faithfully carried out. and
nad the weather been properly adjusted
during the early part of the week, there
would have been large influx of visitors
from here, influenced by the inspiring
accounts for the many novel and unique feat
ures, as given by the GLOBE and so we'll
seconded by the Minneapolis Tribune. that
perhaps it is uncharitable to suspect the in
habitants of that enterprising burgh to
have been negotiating with ''Old Prob's'
successor to manipulate the weather to the
detrlment OF ST Paurs crystal palace, and,
besides. Bill King is here in Chicago, under
strict surveillance, and, although he ac-
knowledged in an interview with a Chicago
reporter that Minneapolis was Jealous of its
sister city, we cannot connect him with the
scheme, lnaSmuch as Chicago is at the
wrong END OF the route TO attempt any,
thing or that kind, but Manitoba being the
fountain head of all cold waves. we are in
clined to think that Loren Fletcher is the
guilty party, as they say up there that he is
a great sehemer If he can only get the BOYS
to help him.
1t is said to be fact that Bill King was
sorely agrieyed that he was not knighted at
hlng borealls' recent session, as he fully
anticipated the decoration and had dele
gated well-known artist to design his coat
OF arms, consisting of balloon rampant,
with redheaded reporter in the basket, ON
field (cow pasture) verdant.
TWIN CITY BRIDAL PARTIES
are numerous here at present. Mr.. J. Il.
Corrlgan and wife of Minneapolis are at
the Grand Pacific, and Mr.. G. Il. Schur-
meier and wife of st. Paul are at
the Palmer, both homeward bound,
while Mr.. j. A. Shea and wife of Minneap-
oils are at the Palmer outward bound.
They tell little story on Gus Schur-
meier down here which l will give Every
one knows that that matter-Of-fact young
man has good hold on his self possession,
and seldom gets ratified, but natural enough
he did not care to let any one know that he
was ly-picked bridegroom, and no one
suspected 1t until he tackled the register
upon his arrival at the Grand Pacific; he
got through with &c. T. Schumacher we'll
| enough, but as he came to land wife" he
made sorry work of it, and the more he tried
TO remedy the little words the more con-
fused he was, but when the clerk, with an
Pve-been-there-mysef smile, assured him
he''would soon get over that" it broke him
all up, and hastily telling the clerk that he
wanted a floor on the parlor room," no
disappeared up the elevator.
Capt. L. ID. O'Brien and Aid. r. II.
OConnor were recent guests at the Grand
Pacific.
Rosy-cheeked Nat Singleton was admir-
ing Lake Michigan from the Leland on
| Tuesday.
Col. Pat. Donan, the hero of Dakota's
banana belt and champion of the gentler
sex, was also there.
Bob Ingersoll and wife were at the Grand
Pacific yesterday, but this did not intimi-
date st. PauPs distinguished prelate, Bishop
Ireland, as his autograph appeared on the
register a little later.
Maj. Gen. A. II. Terry, U. S. A, stopped
| at the above hotel on his way TO attend the
funeral of the late Gen. Hancock.
Chieagoans are in about the same 1uan-
Diary with their architectural what-is-it, the
court house, as were the st. Paul people
with the ice palace during the recent unpre-
cedented spell of weather. The former
building having had another attack of fall
ing down, the recent thaw O. having loos-
ened several massive blocks and sent them
crashing through everything to mother
earth, and to protect the unwary they have
fenced up the greater portion OF the East
ern side, and the various railroads have lit
orally covered these danger lines with cuts
of the Ice palace and carnival scenes, so as
usual, St Paul never gets left. G. w. S.
