CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago friends
Of the carnival were much pleased to see
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
finish 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
the opening week of the carnival was echoed
mere, and was proof conclusive TO the many
doubling ones that the details of the pro-
gram would be faithfully carried out, and
had the weather been properly adjusted

would have been large influx of visitors
from here, influenced by the inspiring

perhaps it is uneharitable to suspect the in
habitants of that enterprising burgh to
nave been negotiating with 'Old Prob's''

detrlment Of st. PauPs crystal palace, and,

strict surveillance, and, although he ac-
knowledged in an interview with 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
great schemer If he can only get the boys
to help him.
1t Is said TO be fact that Bill King was
sorely agrieved that he was not knighted at
King BorealiS' recent session. as he fully
anticipated the decoration and had dele

TWIN CITY BRIDAL PARTIES
are numerous here at present. Mr.. j. Il.
Corrigan and wife of Minneapolis are at
the Grand Pacific, and Mr. G. T. Schur-
the Palmer, both homeward bound,
while Mr.. j. A. Shea and wife of Minneap-
oils are at the Palmer outward bound.
IheY tell little story on Gus Schur-
meier down here which will give. Every
one knows that that matter-ot-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 newly-picked bridegroom, and no one
suspected it until he tackled the register
upon his arrival at the Grand Pacific; he

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-my myself smile, assured him
he''wOuld soon get over that" it broke him
all up, and hastily telling the clerk that he

disappeared up the elevator.
Capt. L. ID. OBrien and Aid. X. 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 IngersOQ 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 little later.
Maj. Gen. A. Fl. Terry, U. S. A., stopped
at the above hotel on his way to attend the
funeral of the late Gen. Hancock.
Chicagoans are in about the same GUAM
dairy 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 CD 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. c. w. s.
