for Carnival.

ADuII BEGINNING of 1ss6--waiting
for Carnival.
The new year has opened very quietly.
Except two elegant affairs the past week
has been one of the dullest of the season.
Undoubtedly the changeable weather has
had much to do with this, but there is little
prospect Of any great social events until
carnival time. Then there will be a con-
stant succession Of fetes, balls, concerts and
other entertainments, and society will ap-
pear at its best

The ladies who are joining the tOboggan
clubs are adopting as their uniforms. long
ulsters made of the same style of blankets
that are used by the gentlemen. They will
also wear tOdues Of the same colors and the
effect is said to be awfully jaunty and fas-
cinating.

The historic group Of photographs Of
comrades Of Acker Post, No. 2l, g. A. r.,
the largest and finest group of old soldiers
ever published, recently presented to the
post by COmrade Zimmerman, is now on
exhibition in Mr. Zimmerman's show win
dow. and as the final destination of the
group is to be the Minnesota Historical So
ciety, it is very desirable that the personal
history of comrades appearing therein
should be correct. Comrades should, there
fore, personally examine the group to ascer-
tain if they are correctly reported and, if
any inaccuracies are discovered, promptly
report the same to Commander Pratt or
Comrade Zimmerman. Adjt. Gen.
Norton will install the officers of Acker
post Thursday evening next. Garfield and
Theodore Winthrop posts participating as
visitors The installation ceremonies will
be followed by camp fire with all that
that implies including ''hard-tack"
spread.
Two brothers are members of the Ryan
Toboggan club which consists of about
twelve young lads. There was an election
of officers a few days since and one of the
brothers was elected president. the only
vote against him being cast by his brother
In explaining to his father Willie said:
''You see. papa. | had to vote against
George because none Of the other boys
would. and of course he could not be elected
unless somebody run against him."

1t is universally claimed that the horse
cars would be much more comfortable if the
little warming pans on the front platform
were removed and the doors closed tight.
Now, the running of the so-called stoves is
simply an extravaganza. for by the side of
the 3X6 registers are cracks extending the
entire length of the doors, and twenty por
tions of cold air comes in to one portion of
heat. Weather-strips are cheap, Col. Lowry,
and know the citizens will put them on
the cars if you will allow it. They would
not interfere in the least, and the driver
could open the door and hold it open for
half an hour as many of them do, just as
easily. l wish the colonel lived on st. An
thony hill and was forced to ride in his own
horse cars and sit by his own fireside for one
cold week.
