HOTEL GOSSIP.

SENATOR MCCORMACK was III Inc city
yesterday from Grand Forks. He is on
his way to Hot Springs, where he in
tends to recuperate the energy eXpend-
ed in assisting legislation in North
Dakota. Mrs. Mccormack will not
accompany him, she being in attend
ance on her brother, j. II. Lyons,
who is dying of consumption, at Colo
RADIO Springs. The latter gentleman is
son of Maurice Lyons, of st. Paul,
and his serious condition will be a
source of regret to his many friends
here. Senator Mccormack says he
doesn't want to talk politics. He has
had enough of it lately, and now pre-
fers to descant or the brilliance of North
Dakotas crop prospects. However, he
says the Democrats of his state are
solid for Cleveland. They are with
him on the tariff issue and the silver
question, and will vote for HIM to a
man. Regarding the bill which passed
the North Dakota legislature restrict
ing the operation of commercial
agencies in that state, the senator says
it did not receive the governors sig
nature, having been presented so late
i'll the session that it never reached the
engrOSSlng clerks. This will simplify
matters for wholesalers and jobbers in
st. Paul, who are only enabled to do a
safe business i'll the state Oh the reports
of the agencies.
"Agriculturally speaking, said Senator
Mccormick, the prospects for North Dakota
are brilliant. There are sixteen inches of
snow in the valley. which will make seeding
late. 1t is q matter of record that the later
the seeding is the better the crops will be,
and farmers are cheerful al the promising
outlook. Nothing but the most prolonged
drought can prevent the harvesting of good
crop in North Dakota this fall
Chief Gabriel Renville and Scout
Brown, of the SiSSeton Indian band,
are still at the International hotel.
Since the story of their mission in st.
Paul was printed in the GLOBE last
week they have had interviews with
most of the old settlers resident in ST.
Paul, whose familiarity with the history
of the Indians in Minnesota makes them
competent to Judge of the merit of their
petition, and have secured their
support. Chief Renville will, after
having secured the signatures of these
gentlemen to document setting forth
the justice of his demands in behalf of
the eX-Scouts and Indian soldiery, pro-
coed to Washington where he will lay
the matter again before the secretary of
the interior Chief RenviIle is conf
dent of success and is pleased at the
kind reception given him here by those
who recognize the service rendered by
him aud his band of friendlies during
the troublous sixties.

A go0d-looking young woman walked
into Zimmerman's photograph gallery
yesterday. and. producing half dozen
dilapidated letters. asked how much it
would cost to have them photographed
She was given prices and at last clinched
bargain. She wanted the whole batch
of epistles photographed and the mega
tiveS preserved.
Isn't this rather a new idea:'' asked the
artist a little inquisitively.
Perhaps" responded the young woman;
but it's safe one. Those letters might get
burned in fire. or lost in a hundred ways,
and then -
Are not the photographs equally liable to
burn:'
'Oh, yes: but then it's pretty good plan
TO have duplicate copies. you know. in case
of accidents. and, besides. the writing is
fading on the original letters.
''Io GU must value the letters very highly"
hazarded the photographer.
Yes said the maiden, they are love let
tiers. I'm engaged, you know, and the only
way can prove it in case | have to is by
those letters. Be very careful of them.
please
The picture man promised to be care
full, and his shrewd customer went on
her way conscious of having turned
clever trick.
