ODDS AND ENDS.

Occasionally the city young man becomes
surfeited with the comforts of civilization,
and betakes himself to lodge in some vast
wilderness. This morning party OF ST. Paul
young men went into camp at White Birch,
Wis. The camp is delightfully."- situated on
an island twenty-five miles from a railroad
station, with very deep water all around.
The campers are George and Harry Warner,
Gardner Abbott, Oakley Stout and Albert
Lindeke. The party is provided with cook,
a resident physician and two professional
poets. No women are allowed within ten
miles of the camp.

est time imaginable without any mitigating
feminine circumstances whatever, while
never in all the world did party of women

atoms to rid her of the fallacy; and woe be
unto man when the awful day arrives when
woman concludes to leave him out of all her
good times.
Detectives say that a murderer Is irresisti-

One can always see half-dozen actors and
actresses at the Grand on Wednesday, or at
the Metropolitan on matinee days there.
They are in street clothes, and not dozen
people in the house recognize them. One
would suppose they would be bored by the
play; but, on the contrary, they are the most
easily entertained and the most enthusiastic
of audiences.

Mrs. Nettie Fuller-Snyder, the soprano, has
returned from years study abroad, and has
been heard in church music here. Her voice
has improved wonderfully, and, after her
success abroad St Paul can hardly hope to
keep so gifted a singer. Mrs. Snyder has
several very advantageous offers from East
ern managers to appear on the operate stage.
One of the most desirable church positions
in Chicago is also understood to be offered TO
her.
