The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-03-11

Seven thousand people surged
through the old market house yester-
day, between the time the doors opened
in the morning and the closing hour in
the evening.
Seven thousand interested men and
women came to see what the manufac-
turers of st. Paul had to show for
themselves, and went away well salts
fed that st. Paul stands we'll with the
best manufacturing centers of the
United States.
WELL said one of the women of the
auxiliary yesterday, Il never imagined
people would turn out in such terrific
numbers to attend anything Of this
kind. And the men seem as interested
as the women. Look at their faces,
they are all as earnest and interested.
/ must confess l have been amazed at
the success of the entire venture OF
course, l supposed there would be a
fair attendance, and I realized it was
a most excellent thing for the city, but
! had not the slightest conception Of
the interest the majority of people seem
to feel in such display
This is the sentiment expressed by all
connected with the exhibition. Theo-
dore Barker, the manager for c. r.
Croft & Co, said:
THE success of the manufacturers
Of st. Paul has been beyond all expec-
tations, and from the talk of the peo-
pie who visited our exhibit it seems
certain that they are all willing to
patroniZe goods made at home"
{. p. Slime, secretary of the CONNER
cial club, said:
80 far as the Commercial club is
concerned, 1 can say for it that this
exhibit has been far beyond the ex-
pectationS of the members. A large
share of this success is due to the
efforts of the women of the auxiliary,
and l learned today that the ladies
of Chicago are undertaking a similar
venture" d. r. Noyes said:
The exhibition is very creditable to
the city, but the space here is too
small
All Commend 1t.
James J. Hill said: THE exhibition is
very fine
Fred Yerxa said: THE exhibition Is
very fine, indeed"
Maj. Wheeler remarked: TT is the
best thing of the kind I have seen in
st. Paul, and l am glad the people
have taken hold so readily"
Mr. Hill called in the morning and
made an inspection of each BOOTH He
expressed deep approval for the dis
plays made.
Rukard Hurd was among the after
noon callers and found nothing but
praise to say of the affair.
Theodore Schultz and Col Ferris
were among others who expressed ap-
prevail of the exhibition, and Adolph
Michaud also complimented the man
agement.
Bishop and Mrs. Gilbert and Alexan-
der Ramsey also inspected the displays
with apparent pleasure.
The first disturbance Of any kind oc-
cured yesterday afternoon, and was of
no particular Importance, at the same
time showing how excellently the police
arrangements have been handled.
A young man, accompanied by three
associates, made some sighting COM
ment to the young women serving
coffee at Griggs &, Cooper's booth, when
the manager, Mr.. William Morwitz,
took him in charge, handed him over
had been walked down the front steps
end landed on the sidewalk with a
warming not to show himself on the
premises again. After deal of blus-
tering his companions followed.
The music for the afternoon was fur
nished by Settings orchestra from the
Grand. Several inspiriting selections
were given previous to the lecture. Miss
Armstrong opened her demonstration
by saying that salads were mussy
things, and that she did not care very
much about making them. However,
on occasion they were nice She made
several very delicious ones.
Cooking Demonstrations.
A small book containing a number of
Mrs. Armstrong; best and most deli
cate recipes has been put on sale in
the hall and copies were readily dis
posed Of yesterday. 1t is surprising
the interest displayed by both men and
women in the cooking demonstrations.
The gathering, though large, Is per-
fectly quiet and attentive and men and
women alike watch the skillful cooks
every movement and listen with close
attention to every word she utters. No
doubt there will be better dinners cook
ed in ST. Paul hereafter and fewer dys-
peptics.
The booths We're as busy as usual.
At Hamm's exhibit during the hours
for distributing souvenirs there were
thousands of tiny blue ribboned bot
ties given away. At the Chippew,
spring water exhibit, just over the hall.
Thomas Fowler greets former Mime
apolis friends and present ST. Paul ones
and offers glasses of cool sparkling
spring water to his guests. Drewry
& Sons have this display in charge.

At the Andrew Schoch exhibit the
Challenge tea is suryed In pretty tea
