1t was not many years ago when folks
at this time of year put away their
home decorations, barred their walls,
stripped their floors and awaited fly
time and the dog days in deserted, DESC
late quarters. This is all changed now,
and the summer furnishings are de-
cidedly important factor with the trade
and people. TO be sure, wooden stuffs
are usually packed away, but there are
lots of pretty things made of cotton,
and with screens at the windows and
doors these dainty furnishings can be
kept harmless from flies.
A few years ago bead portieres were

SOCIAL MUTATIONS.

Two of the dailies. one on Friday and
one Saturday of last week, announced
the departure for Boston of Miss Amy
Barnes, the lady who has made herself
so popular among her own sex as an in
Structor in the art of cookery, and
further stated that she was accom-
panied by a party of friends. The item
was greatly in error, as Miss Barnes has
not left the city, nor has she any
thought of so doing before the first week
in July. She is still conducting classes
in cooking and is meeting with good
success.
Among the recent graduates of Cor
nell university was j. S. Auerbach, a
son of Il. II. Auerbach, who formerly
resided in this city. His standing was
good. the class with which he grad
uated being the largest that has ever
left that institution. 1t numbered 1853
members. Next fall he will enter the
years course. During his attendance
at the school his parents will probably
reside in Cambridge.

weird, unwritten jubilee songs of the

The first of the series of grand SYM
phony concerts by the DAM orchestra

same high order as those given at Har-
monia hall during the past winter.
The commencement exercises Of the
Northwestern Conservatory of Music,
held at the Grand opera house Friday

uated all feel proud of the diplomas
given them on their graduation.

evening except Sunday and Monday.
Concert evenings 10 cents will be

The Park Board Transacts Only
Routine Business.
The members of the park board were
evidently in lazy mood yesterday af-
ternoon. They did but little business,
and what they did was done slowly.
The secretary reported credit of
S1,44O.93, the boards share of delin-
quent tax penalties for the year. This
is the first credit ever received, and the
secretary was requested to look into the
matter.
The pay roll for May, amounting to
1,917.19, was reported as approved and
paid. A warrant for S14. S52 81 was also
ordered drawn to pay interest and COM
mission on park bonds.
1t was reported that through joint
error of the assessors for Lyndale av-
enue improvement and the county
the special taxes levied upon lots
9 to Ia inclusive in block 2, Bradford's
addition, had been collected from the
lots of the same number in block l.
The matter was referred to the finance
committee and the attorney of the board.
Claims amounting to S331.10 were
allowed. Bills for police uniforms were

On recommendation of President
Lowry it was decided to spend $500 for
opening the short cut road from Col
bourn to Harriet boulevard. On Com
missioner March's motion it was decided
that hereafter, unless upon order of the
improvement company, no work shall
be done in any direction after
the appropriation has been expended,
even though the work be not
finished President Loring complained
of the condition of Minnehaha creek and
the bank leading down to it, because of
the emptying into it of the sewer from
the soldiers home. The trustees of the
home will be conferred with. The APP
preparation for Lake of the Isles has
been exhausted, so the board decided to
meet Monday morning at in Central
Park and drive out to Lake of the Isles,
as we'll as to other parks, and decide
whether another appropriation should
be made. A petition to allow light dry
goods delivery wagons to be driven on
the boulevards was referred to Supt.
Berry. MIR. BOardman attempted, but
failed, to arouse interest in PROPOSE
ton to put up bath house at one of the
lakes so that boys could go in swimming
without being arrested. The board then

MUSICAL MUTATIONS.

From the standpoints of excellence Of
the libretto and of the score, 1.-THE
Mikado'' is among the greatest of comic
operas. and possesses so much merit
that it can hardly be made failure
even by bad performance. That it in
eludes parts we'll suited to several of
the principals of the George A. Baker
company seems to be an undisputed
fact, for in Ko-Ko Frank Deshon finds
his best opportunity. while Miss Diard's
vocal ability is eminently adapted to the
requirements of the role of Yum Yum.
1t is also probably safe to say that Miss
Doessler will make great Katishka, for
the part, offers unbounded chance for
fun. Messrs. Clark, Drew and Amsden
and Misses Earl and Scott complete the
list of principals. Carl Kramer has
painted new set especially for this
opera. which will be staged with all the
effectiveness that care and experience
assure. 1.-THE Mikado" will begin a
run of one week tomorrow night.

One View of 1t.

Minneapolis Register.
The st. Paul GLOBE Thursday morn
ing contained grist of opinions Of st.
Paul business and professional men
touching the raid upon the Minneapolis
enumerators. In almost every instance
the expressions were of the most hon
orable character. There was very gen.
eral condemnation of the methods used,
and the fact that it was night raid and
the arrested parties taken over to ST..
Paul at an hour when it would be most
inconvenient for them to secure their
rights was most strongly denounced.
The opinion was general that the citi-
citizens of Minneapolis would not
countenance any crooked work,
and that if such work was being
done the methods pursued were
altogether unnecessary. We are dis
posed to attribute the movement to a
few over-zealous officials, who have put
their feet into 1t very deeply in mis-
taken notion that they would be hailed
as saviors of the reputation of their city.
The object was to discredlt tine census
of Minneapolis in the belief that the
movement made would cause the world
to believe that it was padded afro
clously. We do not believe the people
of ST. Paul will in any respectable per
cent indorse the raid, or the work of
those engaged in it. 1t was unjuStitiable
even if all they allege is true. The re-
suits are most deplorable. Nothing has
ever occurred to so thoroughly embitter
public sentiment, and the leading men
of st. Paul can do no less than to de-
nounce the outrage in most unmis-
taxable terms.

During the next year or so there will
be a craze for sofa cushions. Low

windows or alcoveS will be literally
strewn with sofa cushions, Slumber

rowed from the Orient and promises to
be everywhere adopted. The cushions

the backs of chairs will stand out i'll q

just degree sharper and more brilliant
than the corresponding colorS in the

of thing the sharp bits of color which
we have heretofore got from our bric-a-
brac. For instance, the other day T

the moment entered there was dull

gested that at the head of the stairway
a huge big jardiniere of glorious carr
dinal hue be put. 1t was done, and this
one bright flash of coloring relieved the
whole aspect. So these sofa cushions
here and there throughout the house
will have this same effect. They will
brighten up an apartment and make il
