PRETTY WRESTLING LADIES.
Fair Maids at the Dime Museum
Who Make Music.

They sit there in a row upon the
stages, looking with bright, wide-open
eyes upon the crowds that come to see
them-ten roSy-cheeked, cherry-lipped
maidens, whose only thought in life.
only occupation, only ambition, Is to
whistle. That is what the thousands of
visitors at the dime museum yesterday
saw. Truly, they are charming young
ladies, dressed in their quaint Dutch
costumes, with-the dainty little bonnets
perched coquettishly upon their nodding
heads. They are unique, these wills
Ting girls, and most interesting nov
city. They are none of them homely.
but some of them are less attractive
than the others, and when they whistle
they are positively charming. And how
they can whistle! 1t is the sweet mel
ody of the wild birds, sweet and har-
monious, swelling from their throats
and escaping between lips temptlngly
puckered. 1t is natural, spontaneous,
delightful.
These young ladies' have acquired
WhiStling as a fine art. For months
they have been hard at work, and the
result is surprising. They can whistle
something over fifty airs, most of them
popular, OI cOuTSt. Anu IL is music,
too, not a succession of mere noises.
They do not whistle by ear, but study
the notes. They have one pianist who
plays for them all the time. The star
of the aggregation is Miss Clara Cliff
ford, New York girl. Her face is
mobile and expressive. She is inter-
esting rather than pretty. Her execu-
ton is simply wonderful, and her tones
are clear and pure, with volume and
power, without having any of that harsh
ness and shrilIness which CRATES upon
ones ear. She is the solo whistler.
The manner in which she renders
''LiSetn 10 the Mocking Bird" with all
the runs, trills and arpeggios. is reve-
lation. Miss Minnie Adams whistles
tenor, and she whistles wonderfully
we'll. She is assisted by Miss Lille
Miller. The soprano whistlers are
Misses Emma Green, Maud May, Made
line Dunn ang Ida Slocum. Miss Marie
Hazard and Minnie Burns are the alto
whistlers. and Miss Grace May the
pianist. The party is in charge of Mrs.
Z. A. Hazard.
The attractions at the museum this
week are unusually good. The best
vaudeville entertainment ever seen in
the city is presented in the lower the
alter. The features are TatSuma, the
Japanese iuggler; Booker and Leigh,
the sketch team, and the Arion bell
ringers

A Trio of Footpads Who Will

TRANS.

Four acres Of flames, roaring, crack
ling, shooting myriads of blazing frag-
ments high in the air, and illuminating
to the light Of day the surrounding
country. Such was the scene presented
last evening by the burning OF
the Northwestern stock yards on
the upper leyee. and which
was witnessed by thousands of
people from the high bluffs overlooking
both banks of the river. 1t was grand
sight, and burning, as it did, only
cheaply constructed barns and sheds, it
is safe to say that the oldest inhabitant
never before saw in st. Paul so great an
illumination at such little cost. The
fire was discovered by the Waterman at
Gas o'clock issuing from the roof of the
Office of the owner and manager, Mar
tin Delaney, and an alarm was imme-
diately telephened to fire department
headquarters. The Office was located
in the middle of row of cattle sheds,
32x62 feet in dimensions, and
BEFORE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED
the flames spread to the adjoining roofs.
Constructed of light pine boards, sea-
soned and dry. the buildings seemed to
ignite as if by magic, and when the first
fire brigade arrived half a dozen sheds
were enveloped in flames. 1t seemed
almost impossible to eXtinguish the
conflagration with the limited supply of
water to be drawn upon, and Chief
Jackson directed the energies Of the de-
partment towards saving the packing
house, located at the west end of the
row of sheds. In this they were
successful through hard work, but
when the safety of this building
was assured the fire had spread among
the sheds, ice house and corn and hay
barns, until the flames covered about
four acres of ground. After the falling
of the burning buildings in the vicinity
of the packing house the firemen began
work at the east end of the row, and
succeeded in saving two cattle sheds.
The Office, an ice house containing
200 tons of ice, two barns, and ten sheds
were totally destroyed. There were but
few animals in the yards and barns, and
these were driven out
BEFORE THE FIRE SPREAD.
The supply of hay, corn and other fOd-
der Oh hand was small, and the loss in
consequence is much less than it would
have been at almost any other season of
the year. The sheds and barn were
built in 1880 at a cost of about $4,000,
and MI. Delaney estimates that the
total loss will not exceed $4,000, which
is fully covered by insurance.
j. O'Connor, of the custom house
in this city, is a part owner of the
property. Valuable books and papers
not i'm the Office safe were burned. Mr..
Delaney stated last evening that the
sheds and barns would be rebuilt at
once, and that his business interests
would suffer but little from the fire.
In the immediate vicinity of the
Northwestern yards are the plants and
yards of Hankey Bros. and the Mime
sofa Transfer company, containing sew
eral hundred head of stock, but ener-
getic work by the fire department pre-
vented The flames from extending to
them.

A Vote of Thanks.

YOUTHS companion.
A village in New England came into
possession of neat and mueh-needed
town hall, the gift of public spirited
citizens. When completed. meeting
was held to dedicate the new building.
Speeches were made by prominent citi-
zens, and special reference was natu-
rally made to the chief benefactor, and
to those who had been most active in
forwarding the enterprise.
One speaker mentioned the names of
five or six of these citizens, and sug-
gested that vote of thanks be rendered
them. This was done.
A moment later little wizen-faced
old man arose in the back part of the
hall, and, in a sharp, penetrating voice,
called:
..Mr. Cheermanl Mr.. Cheerman
The speaker being recognized, he. pro-
ceeded:
