SUNDAY SUGGESTIONS
For the Strangers Who Are Just Now
Within Our Gates.
HOW TO SPEND THE DAY.
Many Attractions, Although the Ice
? Palace Grounds Will Not Be
! Opened.

The palace grounds will not be open
to-day. That is, of course the grounds
will be open, but the gate will not be.
Any reasonable person can readily de-
tect at glance that this means the
gates will be shut. Guards will patrol
The open grounds to see that the Sab
bath is not desecrated by any unseemly
act. However, there are many ways in
which visitors TO the city may spend the
day. Undoubtedly all the handsome
equipages of st. Paul will be out on
Summit avenue, and this will be
quite an attraction. For that mat
ter a sight of the avenue alone
is well worth the price Offs worth
stroll thereon. The vision, to better
enjoy it, might go to livery stable and
hire rig. Perhaps he has Il refined ma
ture, and in this case may pass the
afternoon writing a long, loving letter
to his sweetheart, telling her of the gay
time he is having, and the number of
pretty girls he thinks he has "mashed,"
but hasn't. If this doesn't tickle his
fancy, he can go to bed, but there
is nothing compulsory about it.
OF course he can walk out the
occurred, and then tell his folks
bic scene" Or he might take walk
on the Wabasha or Robert street bridges
and drop off. Flying has grown to quite
an art i'll st. Paul, but may not strike
the visitor as attractive. He may use
his own discretion about this. Street
cars run regularly, and one can see st.
Paul for cents. This speaks well for
the enterprise of the railroad company.
The hotel offices and dining rooms look
CHEERFUL AND INVITING,
but one who does not put up there must
buy cigars or CARNIVAL relics to keep his
seat. AS the dining room is not open all
day continuously, he cannot eat con-
tinuOusly. He might dance clog in
prominent corner, but it would prob
ably attract crowd or few policemen.
Over in West st. Paul are number of
caves in the hill on the right of Dakota
avenue bridge. They will probably re-
main there long enough to give the Wis
itOr chance not only to see the caves,
but yell ''swei BEER a few times. This
affords a pleasing walk. One could
hire sled and dog and take drive
around the city, but the news
pace not only with time but price.
There are a few saloons in st. Paul.
The visitor could go to the large hotels
and try all the fire escapes. This
would not only be way to pass few
hours, but would put him on good terms
with the prOprietors. Then again he
might pass Sunday waiting for tO-mOr-
row. Or he has the privilege of walk
ing up On ST. Anthony's hill or Day
tons Bluff, lofty eminences, from which
fine view of the city can be had. AT
ter he looks at the city. he can walk
down again. He can stand on the cor

that perhaps he has some regard for his.
personal appearance. There are sew
eral handsome churches in st. Paul and
lie is welcome to go to all of them. To
facilitate his calls he could have han
som. Then there is Rev. S. G. Smith at
the Grand. If you care nothing about
this. play cards, shake dice, kill flies,
comb your hair or smoke cigarette. If
you want to do something real des-
perate,
/ JUST KILL TIME.
You might sit in your room, if you
have any, and sing ''Home, Sweet
Home" or cheMgum. Any of these ell
tertainmellts are pleasing. If you don't
want to go to any of the. above-men-
toned places, why go out in the air, go
any place, go to sleep or go West. Lots
of people do these very things quite fire.
quently. You might go to see Buffalo
Bill, but he is in London just now,
which leaves the matter open to the in-
ference that he is not in st. Paul. Go
out to Lake Minnetonka, or to White
Bear lake, and take sail. If you care
to, you might go out in the woods and
chase wolves. OF course, if the barber
shops were open you could get your
hair cut, your whiskers trimmed OF your
shoes BACKED. These matters would take
up so much as half an hour. If it were
last night you could 90 to the theater or
watch the man light the gas. Of course,
you can loaf around the hotels and make
believe you board there, but if you care
anything for the army, hire hack and
go to Fort Smelling, six miles out. Any
body has a right to go down on the rail
road track and walk a rail, but tits per-
haps best not to suggest this. If you
want zeal, live fun go to the Ryan or
Windsor, drop a nickel in the slit and
get weighed. By doing some of the
above, and adding hugh or two, you
can have a real nice time. If you don't
want to do any of these things, why
don't do them, but if you don't, why
don't go home next week and say there's
nothing to do in st. Paul OH Sunday.
