The way in which people wendell

yesterday was very amusing, and at
White Bear the crowd that came out to
get cool was one of the largest of the
season. The St. Paul 81 White Bear
Electric Railway company carried a
larger number of people than it has on
any day before this summer. 1t was
found necessary during the day 10 put

could be taken care of comfortably.
1t is so we'll worth while to take an
afternoon. if whole day cannot be
spared, to visit this charming little spot
on White Bear that those who have not
made the trip do not realiZe what they

HARD LINES
With Artists, While Models Take
Pay in Food.


Pay in Food.
New York Press.
These are hard times for artists. The
actors strIngency in finances is widely
advertised. and when an opera SINCE
lacks her usual income the whole world
knows of it Immediately. But the men
aud women who paint pictures are
sensitive, and their pride invariably
grows higher as their bank accounts
fall lower. At present there is no par
ticularly joyful spirits in the studios.
But the gayety of good times is so well
simulated that, to the casual visitor,
our artists seem to be the most
prosperous folks in town. Yet, at
the exhibition of the Society of
American artists, very few pictures
were sold, and. although the spring
academy had better returns than were
expected, the sales were slight in COM
parison with those of other years. No
body has had any money to spend in
pictures this season, and our painters
have suffered more, perhaps, than any
other class of professional people from
the panic. In consequence of this un-
fortunate condition OF things one of our
best-hnown landscape men recently sub

rare edition of 1885, From this book
MIR. Lincoln derived that wide
and accurate knowledge of the
Scriptures that marks all his
speeches and state papers to
an extent unequaled by any other
American man. This book bears the
evidence of much use, but it is in good
state of preservation. The second relic
is deed. all in MIR. Lincoln's hand,

REaUMING AZ PULLMAN.

CHICAGO. July 22.-Another section
of the plant at Pullman will resume

employing fifty men, would start up In
full operation. 1t is also announced
that the Illinois Central shops at Burn
side will begin operations tomorrow
with force OF operatives increased to
nearly 800 men. Pullman officials also
said that the force of girls in the laun-
dry and the number of laborers en-
ployed about the works would be largely
augmented. In view of these announce
ments and the evident intention of the
strikers, as openly expressed by
them in public places about Pull
man today, TO make it as
difficult for The company TO open these
additional portions OF tie works as pos
sible,it was feared by the leaders of the
police and militia that collisions be-
tween strikers and those whom the
company induced to return TO work
would occur. Provision was made
against this possible trouble by increaS-
ing the reserves OF police at the Hyde
Park, KenSington and South Chicago
stations. An organizer for the A. K. U.
in Pullman said today that one OF the
next moves of the union would be to
sue in the courts for an injunction re-
straining the further presence OF the
militia about Pullman works. This was
in accordance with the recent order
issued by the government that the
militia should not be used to guard
private property.
