TO SWEEP THE STREETS.
In Two Weeks the Cleansing Proc
esS VIII Be Resumed.


III previous winters it has been the
custom to cart thousands of loads of
SNOW from the streets of this city, but
this work has been neglected this year
tor the reason that the appropriation for
street cleaning has been cut down by
nearly half. That curtailing the eX-
pense of street cleaning is good econ
Omy is question that is being gener-
ally agltated at present. Although the
streets are rather filthy AT present, they
will be Kept thoroughly clean during
the spring, summer and fall. Beginning
about the middle of April, ali paved
streets will be swept regularly until
Nov. l. The general spring cleaning up
will begin within few days. City En-
glneer Rundlett says:
I'VE have over ninety men employed. but
they are kept busy cleaning the crossings and
cutters and cutting away the snow and ice
where the sun does not strike. The sewers
are all right II we can get The water into them.
All the street cleaning we have done thus far
is little on Third street, where the ruts were
becoming particularly troublesome. We do
not believe it is economy to clean up the
streets before the weather settes.as we would
have 1t to do over again. We have cut down
the force more than half during the past
winter. but we will have to increase ii again
when we get to cleaning up. How much we
can increase it remains to be seen Under
the new charter the council is to fix the COM
pensatlon for the men. and the rate of com
pensation fixed by that body will determine
the number of men to be employed and the
amount OF work that can be done during the
coming season. At present we are paying
the laborers Sl40 and the men with teams
$3.50 per day. and they WORK eight hours. We
can't increase the force very much if this
rate is raised. We expect TO hear from the
council with regard to This point within
few days, and then Will go 10 cleaning up in

brated at the state fair grounds. The
programme has been drawn up by Prof.
Herman, OF the st. Paul Turner society.
and it provides for special attractions
on each day.
On the first day there will be grand
parade of the various societies. starting
from Turner hall and marching through
the principal streets of the city, pro-
ceeding finally to the fair grounds.
Athletic sports will be INDUCED in, the
principal event being fancy sword
drill.
On the second day, after rehearsal at
) a. m, the athletes will contest in a
number of competitions, including rum
ming, long and high jumps, throwing
the stone and hammer, and a wand
exercise in which 1000 men will take
part. A tournament of exercises upon
the horizontal and parallel bars, with
rope climbing, will close the sport for
the day. The third day will be devoted
chiefly to wrestling i'll various styles.
The reunion will finish on the last
day with monster picnic. upon grounds
probably on the river. so that boat
ride can be INDUCED in. The gymnaStic
training which the Germans receive
during school years is one that is highly
beneficial TO them IN after life, and
would be of infinite value to the rising
generation of this country if it were in
corporated in the regular routine pro-
ylded III the public schools.

Those persons who are fond of sac
charlne sweetening for their tea or cof-

of the white crystal cubes in their cups
without being considered at all eXtrava-
CANT, for yesterday Uncle Sam, in con-
sideratioD of the day being the 1st of
April, or All Fools day, played a joke
by giving every person chance to con-
sume all the sugar they desire without
counting the cost. In other words. the
new tariff law OH sugar went into force
and raw material is now allowed to
come into the country without duty, all
tie higher grades still being subject to
taxation.
For many weeks sealed cars or sugar
have been sent all over the country
from the two coasts, and Minnesota re-
ceived its proportion in the shape of
over 10000 barrels of the sweet sub

soon as the calendar denoted that April

Yesterday morning the deputy COL
lectorS of customs were buslly engaged
III breaking the seals of the cars and
delivering the sugar to the wholesale
houses. The sugar had been sent from
the relinerieS as the result of the order
of the treasury department which al
lowed raw material to come in under
bonds during the month of March. This
provision was made in order that the
supply of sugar should not run short
Over $4,000 barrels were released in St
Paul, 10000 in Minneapolis and 5000 in
adjacent towns, the only charges Oh a
carload being 20 cents for the official
papers, while during the previous day it
would have cost about 500 to release
the same car. Every one now should
be supremely happy, for those whose
