St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1886-01-02
NOTED ON NEW YEARS.

The conductors on the motor line came
out yesterday in all the glory of their new
uniforms and travel picked up accordingly.
The new toys are made of navy blue tricot,
with brass buttons bearing the coat of arms
of Minnesota; cap to match, heavily
5ullioned with gold braid and bearing the
number of the conductor. The brakemen
were not uniformed and looked. beside the
nobby conductors, like ''jimpson' weeds in
bouquet with golden-tongued lilies.

Up to last evening no proposals TO sell
sites for the exposition had been received
by the secretary. but it occasioned no alarm.
Owners of Minneapolis real estate are as
sharp as they make them. and they do not
propose TO ''eXpose their hands before the
draw" Proposals were not to be sealed
and one owner might benefit by knowing
the price put upon property by another. 1t
is pretty safe to say the proposals will all
come in together on Monday morning.

Eyes, tried the toboggan tonight, 4" said
Linden avenue girl, land tell you it's
royal sport, too. Charlie and went to the
new one on Sixth avenue, near Oak lake,
and we had the sweetest toboggan in the
world. / sat in front, with my feet against
the dashboard, and Charlie sat behind me
and we went like the wind. But tell you.
Nellie, when you go you want to wear
boomers that fasten around the ankle. L
didn't but wish l had. You see if you
happen to get your feet on one side of the
dashboard, your heels dig into the snow and
make it fly up your clothes horribly. My
new silk stockings were as wet as water and
some of the snow few" and the girls
passed on out of hearing.

Hundreds of good resolutions were made
yesterday, as usual. If the sights of the
streets were any criterion, most of them
were saluted with royal bumpers, too
Along Washington avenue good second
hand drunk pervaded the atmosphere all
day and it almost made one dizzy to walk
two blocks. Several young men were made
very dizzy standing still, even while cling
ing to a brass rail with one hand and some
frail glassware with the other. They were
drinking to the health of their good resolu-
tons.

A little weakened newsboy, known
among the members of Mrs. Fairs club as
''Collar-'n'- elbow" from his proficiency in
the art of Adon Butler, poked into the

The Northwestern Miller relates the fol-
lowing incident, which reflects credit upon
the workmanship of the Minneapolis coop
ers: The Regan bakery few days ago
received from New Orleans two barrels
filled with rice, which have something of a
history. They bore the proper label of the
rice firm in New Orleans. but close inspec-
ton showed also the older marks of one of
the Side Fletcher Holmes company and
on the other HinkIe. Greenleaf & Co.
After travelling to the Crescent City and
back again they were still in good condi-
ton.

patton blowout to-night?" said colored
