The Last Night OF the Third Street
illumination Until the Carnival

illumination Until tho Carnival
Season.
The breath of the frost king swept
through the valley last night and the ga 5
lights fiickered fitfully, filling the streets
with shifting shadows. High through the
heavens sailed the pale-faced moon look
ing complacently down from her grand
height upon scene of life and beauty.
The silent river trending to the sea, sought
its way steathily through golden harvest
fields and under the frowning front of lofty
bluffs. From the city went up a.
thousand silvery bars like messengers sent
out to welcome the smiles of the fair queen
of the night. and these messengers soaring
heavenward upon silent wings from thou
sands of brilliant jets of light were
rendered doubly beautiful by inprisoning
walls of opal. amethyst, emerald and
garnet.
1t was the last night of illumination. and
Third street was filled with men, women
and children, who had left their homes clad
| in comfortable wraps to take farewell
look at one of the most beautiful sights
that has ever been afforded the
| eyes of st. Paul citizens. The
fertile imagination of the author of
the Arabian Nights entertainments
never conceived a picture more brilliant
than that which greeted the eye of the OBJ
server last night as he stood at the corner
of Jackson and Third streets. and looked
up between the rows of vari-colOred globes
and under the radiant arches that hung like
clusters of jewels suspended from the walls
of the Celestial city, while through the
crisp air above the murmur of busy tongues
ctr inc of fn nh pt
the ear.
To-day the work of removing the globes
and pipes and arches will be commenced,
and they will be stored to be replaced next
winter during the carnival Mr.. Van Slyke,
to whom the greater part of credit is due,
says he intends to use electricity instead of
gas next winter if arrangements can be
made. He has some doubt that gas will
burn satisfactorily during the winter winds.
