Will st. Paul have an annual Mardi
Gras, similar to that in New Orleans
and the feast of the Yelled Prophet in.

n1Val are being discussed by a number
OF prominent citizens, and, upon the
result of next Friday evenings fes-
t1v1ties will depend in large measure
their decision. If the people of st.
Paul will show, by turning out en-
masse in mask, that they take favor
ably to the scheme, it will be pushed
through and made an annual event,
one which will add to the fame of ST.

The chairmen5 Of the various sub
committees of the Friday evening fea-
lures of carnival week met yesterday
and arranged all the details for the
Warmest celebration ever held in st.
Paul, glorious finale of a week of
rare enjoyment. Each event on. this
gala night was assigned to some par
ticular spot along the streets.

don thermometer, 100 feet high, which
will indicate how warm the festivities
grow as the evening progresses. This

origin, extending back to the old
"bone-shakers," and all sorts of nov
elites This will be in charge Of G. Il.

that wonderful new invention, the
"humaniscope," which is as far ahead
of the veriscope as the latter is in adj
vance of the old magic lantern. The
Fort Smelling band, will also discourse
it's sweetest music in the park.
On Sixth street, near the New York
Life building, will be a wonderful
event, worth travelling hundreds of
miles to see, the apparent reverslon
of the laws of gravitation. AcrobatIc
feats will be performed in midair, the
acrobats being unsupported, seeming
Iy, in a truly mysterious way. -.:ts,
Close by will be another upeanny
sight, the rings of Saturn harnessed
and drawn close to earth for inspec-
ton by the thousands of visitors TO
