st. Patrick's dayused to be celebrates
in magnificent style in st. Paul. Times
was when professions in honor of ErihS
patron saint paraded the streets, deeked
with the shamrock and green, and cele-
brated the day with all due soIemnty.

metropolitan. We frown on celebra-
tions, and st. Patrick's day is the quiet.
est day in the year. Yesterday was not
good sample of Minnesota spring
weather. It was colder than it ought TO
have been, and rawer than most
of us hoped to see it, but it
was fulT of promise of April
mildness, and it was st. Patrick's day.
People one passed in the streets, even
people who have never seen Ireland
except on the stage, wore green. A few,
with pardonable pride, wore a leaf or
two of real shamrock. Some Wore dyS-
peptic-lookiug limitations of the sacred
plant, but the vast majority wore only
bow of bright green ribbon. Here
and there was a painfully conscious
young man with vivid green cravat.
One of this tribe roamed oil WabaSha
street for an hour or two late in the aft
ernoon in company with that peculiar
American article variouSlv known as
''jagp or a load" One courageous
young woman wore green plume in
her bonnet, and the street cars had
broad bands of green paint.
In the evening there were celebra-
tons without number. Scarcely a hall
in town but was filled with merry
makers. At st. Patrick's hall, at the
corner of Mississippi and Case streets,
there was an entertainment for the
benefit of St. Patrick's church. There
were Solgs-Irish as Irish could be-
and reeitations and addresses, and. to

GThe evening was a pleasant one all
over town. 'rlle entertainments all vent
off well, and large audiences were the
rule. Every Irishman felt proud Of his
