SUNDAY sAUNTERINGs.

As though determined to compensate for
any lost time, winter visited the city yester-
day with severe snow blizzard. The storm
began on Saturday night, but the fall of
snow was fitful until last evening, when il
began to descend in dense clouds. A hard
wind from the northwest came up and
cleared the streets in short order of all pc
destrians but those whose pursuits made
the promenade necessary. The snow
drifted heavily. and before o'clock had
cleared out most of the street car lines.
making it impossible for the cars to run.
The Minnetonka motor came through from
Excelsior on time, but the officers report
exceedingly heavy drifts. which may prove
more difficult to-day. On the city line the
regular trips were made, but the last one
was very laborious, and it will be necessary
to get out the plows this morning, in all di-
rectiOns should the blizzard continue.

The Hotel Gazette is no more, for IL YES
terday appeared as the Gazette. the qualify
ing term ''hotel" being dropped from the
caption of the paper, which appears in a
new dress of the nobbiest and latest STYLE.
geographically it is a beauty and can
truthfully claim to be the handsomest class
udny pAHiOcu dhyMutTc IN the United
States. Its columns fairly bristled with
facts about the wonderful city presented in
the attractive manner that has been charac-

DR.. Mclean, who is endeavoring to at
tract public attention by his sO-called lee
ture on mesmerism. has made himself very
disagreeable at the Clark house, where he
boards. lie complained about the accom-
mOdations, and followed it up by stating
that the gentlemen at the table didn't know
how to behave themselves. Yesterday the
maligned 5oarders got back at the doctor in
an unique and effective way. Some one
brought handful announcing lecture on
Scandal TO the dinner table. ''Who's this
Mclean that's going to lecturer" asked
one. ''Oh, he's crank that was fired out
of the Presbyterian church at ST. Paul"
answered another. Hes nothing but
stiff, put in a third, ''and / don't believe
he knows anything about mesmerism." And
so the conversation was kept up, the board
ers seeming TO be unconscious that the sub
ject of their remarks was seated at the
same table.
