SUCCESSFUL INAUGURATION OF A
TOURNAMENT In WHICH THEY
PARTICIPATE.
ST. PAUL CLUBS INNOVATION.
TWENTY-FIVE CLEVER PLAYERS
ARE NUMBERED AMONG THE
EVENINGS GUESTS.
AN UNUSUAL AND PRETTY SCENE
Success Of This New Social Was
Even More Pronounced Than
Was Anticipated.

A snakeless Eden, a Monte Carlo
without its croupier, were the rooms
Of the St Paul"Whist club last night.
The swapping of the bent cards upon
the tables, the click of the ivory coun-
tiers were heard for many long minutes
In, the midst of silence unnatural
and profound. For a score of ladies
were the clubs honored guests, and the
hrSt night Of the ladies' tournament
was being celebrated by the strange
courtesy of the whist player, who closes
his eyes to womans loneliness, re-
strains his tongues impatient compli-
ments, and displays his highest hon.
age in the exhibition of major ten
nance" or an intermediate sequence"
With these honors before them, the la
dies could expect little in the way of
formal preparation towards their recep-
ton. The house committee had shifted
the moon and arranged the little stars
so as to create the most picturesque
view from the south windows. The
double doors were thrown open for the
| most expansive of possible sleeves. The
blue and red cards, the counters Of
various hue, were heaped high, with
all the gracious color tone Of variegated
Ice cream The tables still fingered in
that bizarre polarity SO dear to him
who trusts imperial Cavendish rather
than the vulgar compass.
The ladies, however, although consti-
| tutionally opposed to initiating a mas
culine air CT reflection which might
suggest crossness; although unwilling
to recognize the necessity for a silence
that would prevent little word Of
compliment, or an encouraging express
sion Of surprise, proved mistresses Of
whist-a game which eminent thinkers
have been proud to learn. Some of the
| clubs guests, indeed, are themselves
instructors in this abstruse recreation,
and they possess a widespread reputa-
/ ton. 4 oQi 9
The result of tie games was a fatter-
ing tribute to the skill Of the players.
The men all insisted that the ladies
| nefthernrecefved nornneeded the slight
est advantage that would not have been
| accorded to councillors Of a cOarSer
| mould. The club was much gratifled
at the success Of the innovation. La
dies whist tournaments, hereafter, will
be pronounced addition to the social
and intellectual pleasures Of st. Paul
society. 80 id5s
The guests of the club last night were:
Mesdames Gilbert Dearth, Thomas.
Wright, Smith, Ei1lebroWn, Pine, Howes,
Follet, Straight Mcconnell, Country
man, Vogel, Rogers, Mum, Johnson,
| Wood, McCandless, Morton and Larkin,
and Miss Wemott. IT.
The ladies' games will probably be
| played at the club rooms every week
hereafter. A definite announcement Of
the date for the next game will be
made later. V

LOST HIS FINGER.
Peter Jenn Wants the City to Pay

Peter Jenn has filed a unique claim
He wants the city to recompense him
for the loss Of a finger and considerable
time. According to Mr.. Jenn's written
statement he lost digit while engaged
in manipulating machine in the work.

house for drunkenness on Nov. IA, 1895.
On Nov. 10, while in a state bordering
on nervous prostration,' Mr.. Jenn was
introduced to machine in the broom
factory and compelled to operate it. AS
a result of his nervousness, the ma
chine substracted one Of Mr. Jenn's fin
gers.
Mr.. Jenn thinks that the city ought to
recompense him for the loss, and has
accordingly filed a claim for compen-
sation. Assistant City Attorney Phil
lips advised the aldermanic committee
on claims yesterday that the city was
not liable in this case. The committee
therefore recommended the disallow-
ance of the claim.

RAILROADS NOT wARL1KE.
They Have Little Reason to Oppose

They Have Little Reason to Oppose
Game Seizures.
Deputy Game Warden Johnson seized
another box Of wild birds at the Min
nesota transfer yesterday.
AS was indicated in the G b yes
terday, the pot-hunters are not only
evading the state law, but they are
cheating the railroad companies. The
shipment Of game as books or towels,
both Of which articles are fourth-class
freight, instead Of in the proper CLASH
fication as perishables, keeps the rail-
roads out of the regular freight rate
on perishable freight, considerably
higher, and it is for that reason, per-
haps, that some Of the roads do not
make any serious endeavors to assist
in the evasion Of the law.

Three Hundred Couples at the Irish
American Club.

Three hundred couples at the 1r1Sn.
American Club.
The spectacle of 300 ladies and gen
tlemen engaged in the festive pastime
of progressive euchre is by no means
a conventional one. Such a scene was
witnessed, however, at the rooms of
the Irish-American club last night.
The club gave a progressive euchre
party and seyenty-five tables were oc-
cupied. Considerably more than 300
people were present Judging from the
number Of spectators. The party
proved thoroughly enjoyable from a
social, as well as a euchre standpoint.

advertisement that is fatal to whist.
The rooms presented pretty sight,
owing to the presence of so many

The bell at the head table rang for the

twelve in number, were distributed as
soon as the result had been ascer-
tanned.

THOSE GARBAGE BILLS.
They Are Approved by the Com.
nittee on Claims.


The board of aldermen committee on
claims met yesterday afternoon, and
approved the December garbage bill
amounting to 1897, which was submitted
by the Capital Garbage company. It
was shown to the satisfaction of the
committee that the garbage deposited
on the Langham farm had been remov-
ed. The committee also approved the
claim of Fielding & Shepley, the pres
ent garbage contractors, for certain
work performed in January. Ow-
ing to the delay in the council, the
contract was not executed until Jan.
is, and the contractors have thus far
received pay for only fourteen days
work. But they say that they removed
all of the January garbage by hiring
extra teams and men, and therefore
claim they have lived up to their con-
tract, and are entitled to full months
pay. The balance of their claim is
$576.5S. The committee approved the
bill, but it is predicted that it will strike
q snag when it reaches Comptroller
McCardy
