St. Paul daily globe., 1893-06-14

Yesterday afternoon there were
large number of sun rays which ar
rived in the city of ST. Paul and an
nounced their intention of remaining
here for couple of days. The people
knew of their presence in the city, and,
although no special arrangements were
made for their accommodation or enter
tainment, they enjoyed themselves.
High up in the air few fieecy clouds
JoStled each other and tried to fan
neighboIing companions with their f1ut-
tering environments of vapor. The rays
of the sun darted through them and
tried to become companionable, but the
clouds hastened away and repulsed all
advances.
Everybody acknowledged the fact that
1T was hot day. Straw hats were
freely exposed, and vests were unani-
mously discarded. Soft shirts were
donned in lieu of the uncomfortable
starched creations which have been
worn during the cold months, and the
clerks at the counters of the various
stores had rushing trade all day in
light underwear.
There are number Of places in the
city where electric fans have been pro-
ylded for the purpose of driving away
the heated rays which had a monopoly
OF the atmosphere. In these places
large number of the citizens of st. Paul
congregated for the purpose OF talking
over the situation and attempting to
cool off the inner man with draughtS of
amber fuid while the merits of winter
weather were discussed in most
amiable manner. The fr0th was blown
off the liquid with languid grace, and
the questions of weather were discussed
i'll all possible manners, while all the
time old Sol looked down from the sky
and grinned with fiery laugh at the
suffering people below.
In some places the thermometer reg
istered 100 deg, while in others it was
not so warm. But everybody was of the
impression that summer had come, and
it was the season for summer wearing
apparel and iced drinks. The proprie-
tors of the various breweries in the city
wore smiles of pleasure at the prospects
of good season which had been so au-
spiciously ushered i'll, and the various
liquids whose mission is to cool heated
Interiors seemed to tr0th and hiss with
animated compoSure at the prospect OF
an excess of popularity.
At the weather Office it was learned
that the prospects were in favor of
about three days of hot weather at the
present time. No one can tell how long
the warm spell will last after the
knowledge Of the signal service Office
is exhausted, but it is generally sup
posed that st. Paul will have her share
of the summer period.
The lakes yesterday were we'll at
tended and a large number took adj
vantage of the bathing facilities offered
at White Bear lake and Minnetonka.
The electric cars were we'll patronized,
and it appeared to be the desire of every
person to get to some place out of doors.
In the evening there were hundreds Of
people at the lakes, and the cars were
crowded with the pleasure-se6king pop,
ulace. In the ice cream saloons the
walters and mattresses were kept very
busy during the entire day, and the
men in the easements were busted III
the manufacture of frozen cream. - p
Today is promised to be as warm as
yesterday, although it is expected that
there will be a'heavy rain storm during
the day or evening.
