The Y. NJ. 5. C. Entertainment.
The season of weekly summer en-.
tertainments under the auspices OF
the Young Mems Social Club was
successfully inaugurated night be-
fore last at Eldridge hall. The
opening selection by the Haubelt
orchestra was the finest ever execu-
ted by that popular band and fully
redeemed the members from the
fault of exhausting the patience of a
great many by spending what
seemed to be an unnecessary amount
of time in tuning up" Mr.. W. II.
Smell, the new president of the club,
prior to announcing the numbers OF
the program made few facetious
remarks, humorously abiding to mis-
election as president of the club, af-
ter which the audience was favored
with instrumental music by Miss
Virginia Bassett, of Dallas, Miss
Sophie Braun, of Galveston, and Mrs.
Koenig, of Cuero, with vocal music
by Miss Willie Traynham and Miss
Maggie Fisher. and with readings
by J. D. Campbell, Esq, and Capt.
J. NJ. Byrnes. All of the contribu-
tors did well. Mrs. Koenig dis
played fine talent and exhibited a
delicate touch of the worries which
even extracted music from the old
rattle-trap of piano which is with
out pedals and is about as badly in
need of repair as it could be.
Messrs. Campbell and Byrnes both
read humorous selections, and the
latter especially was amusing, being
a burlesque by Mark Twain on the
red tape business at Washington
and after the manner of Dickens &C.
count of the circumlocution Office
Miss Willie Traynham sustained
herself as pleasing vocalist, while
Miss Maggie Fisher took everybody
by storm and surpassed the expec-
tations of her most sanguine friends
by her sweet, well modulated sing
ing. Although very young de-
butante with scarcely years train
ing under st. Louis teacher, she
returns home to completely surprise
her acquaintance and to treat
Brennan audience to as sweet
music as has ever been heard in the
city, according to the opinions of
those who heard her. She was en-
Enthusiastically encored and respond
ed. She promises to be great IA
vorite in Brennan society. The ex-
ercises did not begin until fifteen
minutes to 10 o'clock, and it may be
observed in conclusion that if such
inexcusa1lc delay results few more
times it will succeed more than any
thing else to break up the entertain
ments.

LED IN MOST GOOD.
The Chamber of Commerce Has
Made a Fine Record.

Made q Fine RcCOfu.
The Importance to st. Paul of its
chamber of commerce, and the remark
able record of work accomplished by it
for the citv's interest, is not fully UNI
derstood by all our citizens to-day, and
hence the chamber, while generally
popular, and not at all without honor
in it's own country" has not had all the
credit and support which is its due.
Look at our elevators, our parks, our
market house. our government build
ings, our court house, our bridges, our
union depot and sheds, our railroad
shops and buildings, our fine lines OF
street cars, motor and electric, and
point out any of them, secured by pub
Tic opinion and effort, where the cham
Der of commerce did not give the initia-
tive or aid in the development OF the
plans. So also with the securing OF our
finest hotel, the Ryan, and with the in
ceptiOn of our ice palace and winter
carnival. which did so much to call at
tention, at home and abroad, to our
beautiful and prosperous city, for it was
in the chamber Of commerce that these
we're first proposed and advocated.
This is but a brief and imperfect
glance at some of the good accom-
plished. Who can estimate the benefit
to our city of the watchfulness of its
chamber of commerce to prevent ex'
trayagance and needless city expendi-
ture, to promote good general and
| special legislation. and to secure the
best development of all our material IN
terests.
The health and the credit of our city
| have been at all times carefully watched
by this guardian of our city's interests
We have no more unsefish or better
| citizens than those who, week by week
| answer to the roll call at orr chamber
Of commerce. Give them and the
chamber due honor and generous ane
| willing support.

by City Attorney Holman that unless
the council interfered the Broadway
bridge work wonld be carried on under
police regulation, Col. Clough, of the

maintain its rights, as it needs the land
proposed to be taken by the city for
lie bridge. The colonel has Just
returned from a trip to the Pacific
coast, to look after the terminal inter
ests of his road. He said yesterday that
contracts had been let for seventy-five
miles of road from point on the FAIR
haven Il Southern road to Seattle,
which is to be completed by January l.,

as short as the Northern Pacific.
