GLOBE TOWER SHOTS.

ST. Paul is favored with rrettier names for
her streets and avenues than is any other
city in the United States. They are euphoni-
Gus and appropriate. Wisely enough our
city councils OF the past have not handi-
capped our town with such systems of street
nomenclature as prevail in Chicago, Phila-
delphia or Washington. With the exception

fond, Rondo, Arundel, Ada, Winifred, Min

Commonwealth, which has usurped the
glories of Beacon street Cleveland has but
one avenue, Euclid; but that name has a
trigonometrical, integral calculus suggestion
that is depressing. ST. Paul takes the prize
for artistic street-naming as well as for
artistic architecture.
