BREAKING THE SABBATH.
The First Since the New Penal Code
Took Effect

Yesterday afternoon the lions in the
Fourth Street museum had day off from
their usual exercises. the Punch and Judy
box was silent, the bears and other Gagged
curiosities walked slowly behind their bars.
and nobody looked at them, while ON the
main entrance was posted a tin placard.
with the words, Museum closed to-day:
will be open tomorrow as usual" When a
GLOBE reporter went upstairs the manager
was sitting on the stage where the living
skeleton used to have his chair, the animal
man stood near by smoking a cigar. the
bearded woman was wearing a Seal-skin
cap, and warming herself by a stove that
sent out little heat, while two or three at
taches OF the concern were gathered in a
little knot discussing some newspaper arti-
Gle thai one had been reading. ''It's all on
account of the new penal code" said Col.
Gore. I'VE didn't know whether any one
would come down on us or not, although
the code prohibits Sabbath breaking, and
seems to have shows like ours on the list.
80 we thought We would be sure and keep
within the law, and didn't open up.n
I'VE got an opinion from a prominent
lawyer to the effect that it would be safe to
90 OH until notified to Quit. and so we are
running as usual, y said Mr.. Richards at the
Seventh street museum when GLOBE man
asked II he was not violating the state law.
we hardly know whether ii is a violation.

ST. PAUL,S TRADE,
Wholesale and Retail Business
During the Past Week.

thc W GGAs
During the week the money market has
been unsettled, owing to the closing Of the
year. Eastern exchange has been selling
at sharp premium, and will probably con-
tinue so for some time.
This has been a quiet week with the
wholesale grocers, and the same applies to
fhe dry goods business.
The drug market has been very active
or the season. The new year opens
with rush. There never was a pleasanter
or more kindly feeling between purchaser
and supply men than has been developed
in the expressions of the holidays. Prices
are well sustained though still very low;
all trade indications, however, are favor
able. There have been few failures in
the drug trade in 1885 in the Northwest,
and everywhere now this branch Of trade
seems in excellent condition. Morphine is
little higher; also oil of cuhebs. Quinine
is lower. Turpentine advanced. Linseed
oil dull and will be lower.
The wholesale clothing business has been
quiet.
Those dealing In hats, caps and furs have
had an excellent year, the general result
being % per cent. greater than the proceed
ing one.
All other branches Of wholesale business
have had quiet week. as far as filling or
ders Is concerned, but they have been busily
engaged in taking stock.
The various branches or the retail bust
ness have had an excellent holiday trade,
greatly exceeding that of last year.

THE $3.50 TROTTERS.
Horses And Mares That Have
Brought Forth Fast Ones.

While not as thick as ''leaves in Vallam-
broSa," 2:30 horses have become a very
common commodity. In this go-ahead age
two and one-half minutes to the mile is con-
sdered a respectable but ordinary rate of
speed for trotting horse. Our annual
statement shows that two hundred and
eighty-three (2S3) horses. new to the $3.50
list, trotted their best miles the past season
in $3.50 or better. This is an increase of
sixty (60) over the number of new horses
for 1884, or nearly 100 per cent. more than
the gain of 1884 over 1888. Going on with
our comparisons, we find the list of new
sires only exceeds that of 1884 Dy six (G),
proving an increase of eOntributive power.

new trOtting performers each in 1884. For
this year the first named has i've t5) to his

fifteen (15l, five (5) of which are SONS of
Mambrino Patchen. Ten (1O) sires

the Long Island Black Hawk, Morrill,,
Columbus. and Royal George lines.
OF THE NEW MEMBERS
OF the $50 list no less than sixty-five (65)
are entire horses, including the phenome-
nal stations Epaulette, Patron and Bonnie

There was a marked increase in the

ive-year-old list we find twenty-four (24),
gain Of two (2) over 1854. There are
nineteen (19) four-year-olds, against thir-
teen (13) for 1884. The three-year-olds
number fourteen IA, an excess over the
list of the previous year, and four (4) two
year-olds this year trotted miles in 2:30 OF
better. To this increase we are mainly in-
debted to the various breeders associations.

eighteen (1S) of which trotted in 2:20 OF

are the remarkable young Californian trot-

The snow began to fall in st. Paul YES

Last nights reports from Western stations

but the chances are that the law won't be
enforced the first day." said another gentle
man connected with the concern. The pOr-
ton Of the code which seemed TO the pro-
prietors to include them was that of
SABBATH BREAKING,
which prohibits all labor. except works of
necessity or charity, on the Sabbath. also
public sports. trades, manufactures and me
chanical employments. Among other pro-
visions touching Sabbath breaking, the code
provides that articles Of food NAV be sold
before 10 o'clock in the morning, and meals
may be sold 70 be eaten on the premises.
Cigars and tobacco cannot be sold in places
other than where liquors, fruits, newspa-
pers. ETC., are offered for sale. Sabbath
breaking is made a misdemeanor, punish
able by fine Of not less than 81 nor more
than $40, or by Imprisonment not exceeding
five days, or both.
A brief trip TO some Of the prominent
places of the above classes indicated that
few, If any, changes in the general style of
conducting business had been made by rea-
son of the new law. The man behind the
counter at Wabasha street cigar store said
he had not heard of the penal code. If it
required the closing Of cigar stores on Sun
day he hoped it would be enforced. Just
as much business would be done i'm the
week, for everybody would stock up On
Saturday night.

salo0nkeeper. lit doesn't touch US anyway
and don't believe it would be enforced If

There was some inquiry made by pro-
prietors at one or two Of the places visited
as TO the exact wording of the code and as
to the penalties for Sabbath breaking. but
