CASUAL CHATTER.

Gen. w. S. ROSecranS, who succeeded
the colored senator from Mississippi,
Blanche X. Bruce, as register of the
United States treasury at Washington,
was among yesterdays arrivals at the
Ryan. Accompanied by Prof. w. E.
Ryan. the general was on his way to
Portland, Ore, to spend his summer va
cation, but he could not refrain from
''stopping few hours in the pride OF
Northwest" of which, he said, he had
''heard so much"
politics is eSchewed on this trip"
slyly remarked the official whose name
adOrnS the national bank notes, "but
have not made any arrangements look

registers office just yet"
There seems to be strong feeling
amoug certain property owners against
granting the franchise for the proposed
elevated railway. 1t is, however, con-
fined to those whose property lies on
Wabasha street. There will be little, if
any opposition to it either on Cedar
street or after the line leaves Rice
street, so that the company will not
be compelled to pay as much damages
as would appear at first glance. Speak
ing about the matter, CORPORATION Attor-
ney Murray says the property owners
. will be protected any way. Before the
company begins work some fair eSti
mate of what the damages will be will
have to be decided upon and settled.
The city cannot give the right of way.
but the company can be allowed the use
of the street if they have satisfied the
property owners that the damages due
them will be paid.

Blanchard, land its membership is now

city of the size and Importance of ST.
Paul. The members are mostly in the
clothing and furnishing line, and it is in
their interests that the association is
moving for early closing. The dry
goods stores have already agreed to
close at $50 p. m, and several of the
leading clothiers have signified their
Willingness to adopt early closing if the
movement can be made general. A
petition will be at once sent round to
the others.
THE hours of clothierS' clerks are eX-
tremely heavy, commencing at Z a. m.
and finishing at 9 p. M: Saturdays II p.
m. This gives Seventy-five hours for
the week, which is two and half hours
day more than any other class of
workers."
F. w. Farwell has two little daugh-
tiers who are very cute. Constance goes
to Sunday school. and Mabel, three and
a-half years old, wants to. So she
asked her mother to teach her verse.
After many attempts she got

"The Lord is my shepherd, 1

for her to recite the verse she had it
thus: THE Lord is my shepherd, and
l don't want anything" Seeing every
body laughing at her, she turned around
to her sister and whispered, "Tonny tine

1.-THE Republican convention which
has just completed its labors at Chicago,
said Manager Walter p. Phillips, of the
United Press association, was in session
longer than any similar body since the
days of the Charleston Democratic con-
ventiOn in 1850. Particular pains were
taken to make Republican gathering
In every sense, even in the matter of
accommodations for the press, and those
of Republican proclivities We're fur
nished better facilities for obtaining
news than those who assumed the OPP
poSite side in politics. AS usual, the
United Press gave its patrons the best
reports sent from the convention, al
though it made no effort to copy the
style of the Congressional Record in
giving the proceedings verbatim.
lit was lively convention throughout,
and those who had to do the work were
kept pretty busy from the outset until
the gavel fell on the motion to adjourn
sine die.
''This is my first visit to the North
west, and l have been very favorably
impressed with the wonderful growth
and evidences of prosperity everywhere
apparent since leaving Chicago"
Judge Cory, James Ahern, Horace
Dunno and Lou Bensinger were very
disgusted quartette recently at Forest
Lake, whittier they had gone bent upon
SECURING trophies of their skill as
anglers. A small boy was the pilot of
the party in two boats to spot where
he assured them fish abounded. Sud
denly pole was bent nearly double,
the line slackened little and there was
another powerful jerk. Every member
of the party was so interested that the
absence of the small boy was not de-
tected. He had quietly slipped off his
clothes and jumped overheard and
grabbed hold of the line, and was enjoy
ing the happieSt moment of his life.
What the subsidy was no one is pre-
pared to state, but the small boy has a
neat suit of clothes, and four eminent
anglers of st. Paul do not tell any more
fish stories at present.
