STREET SAYINGS.

The ACCESSIBILITY of giving Gen. Terry a
reception before he leaves this department
has been considerably talked of, but is not
| meeting with unanimous favor. One old
| prominent veteran said yesterday that he
didn't think the people should make any
especial splurge over Gen. TerTy's leaving.
as he never during his residence at Fort
Smelling, invited a st. Paul G.. a. Il. man
| TO his house. If any of the high-ranked
officers visited this part of the country. the
| general would invite them out to the fort
and entertain them,, but ST. Paul men were
never counted in. He said the general had
been influential in the moving OF the head
quarters from the city to the fort, and it was
hard to ascertain what benefit he had been
to st. Paul.
The new West side G.. A. r. post was
named in honor of Aldrich Bircher who
served four years i'm the army as a high
private. He was formerly resident of this
CITY, and few years ago moved to Rush
City, where he died about a year ago.

word regarding his intentions in the coming
campaign. but says if the Republicans ex-

ago.
The annual report of the health depart
ment was issued yesterday. 1t is a very
creditable piece of work, and reflects great
credit on Health Officer Jones and his chief
clerk, w. G. Bryant. It contains table
showing the death-rate of all the prime ipal
cities in the United States, and that of st.
Paul is the lowest. The report is accom-
panied by carefully prepared map, that
shows the various lines of sewers and the
districts in which scarlet fever and diphthe-
ria have prevailed during the past season.
So
1t is interesting to note Just at this par
ticular season of the year that the red light
cold wave signal, that decorates the top of
the chamber of commerce whenever Gen.
HaZen gives out a blizzard bulletin from
| Washington, was designed originally 10 be
an accommodation TO those who were in
| terested i'm the weather about the time the
late Ice palace was being built. Observer
Lyons told Gen. Hazen that the people
here would appreciate it if he could make
some arrangement so that carnival euthus-
lasts could see when a cold wave was pre-
dicted after dark. Gen. HaZen said he
would have the matter attended to, and
ordered the lantern. But there was more
red tape than red light found to cut a
figure, and so it has just got here. It's a
! good lantern, however. and is warranted to
last until next season, when it will be flung
to the breezes-a beacon of hope to the
holders of ice palace stock. and as welcome
TO the owners of toboggan suits as the
flowers that get ripe i'm May, ira Ia.

Secretary Judson of the state board of
agriculture is in receipt of a letter from
Congressman Strait on the butterine ques-
ton. The congressman saws he believes
that the dairy interests of the state should
have better projection. and he assures Mr..
JudsOn that he will take lively interest In
the bills already before the house. looking
to this end. He says: IF an act cannot
be passed. prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of these goods, it seems to me that it
would be well to put tax upon them suf-
hciently high to drive them out OF the
market.
