IT WAS SLIPPERY WALKING.
Pedestrians Experienced DfHicuIty
Yesterday.

The streets and the two princinal
bridges, the Robert street and the Wa
basha street structures. were a glare Of
ice yesterday and last night, and in con
sequence falls were many, some of them
quite painful.
On the business streets many Of the
proprietors of stores reduced the dttfi-
Guilty Of walking by bringing into re,
QUESTION sand and ashes, but on the
bridges and crossings nothing was done
in this line. and in consequence the road
way of the bridge was used by pedes-
uians in preference TO taking chances Of
d broken head or a fractured limb.
sand has been placed at convenient
points by the city authorities for use
during icy weather. tut no effort was
made yesterday to put it to use.

II WAS A TOTAL ECLIPSE
ACCIDENT TO ELECTRIC LIGHTS
CAUSES TROUBLE IN A HOTEL.


At twenty minutes to last night the
blowing out Of plug in one of the
electric light cables resulted in the sud
den going out of all the incandescent
lamps on that particular circuit. PrOba-
bly, the place where the greatest incon-
venience was felt was at the Ryan no
tel. The eclipse came at a time when
many Of the guests were preparing for
dinner, and when a large number of
moment nothing was said, as every
body thought that the lights would be
turned on Immediately. 7u,c.
Two or three minutes of anxious wait
ing sufticed to convince them, however,
that something serious was the matter.
The clerks at the desk were unable to
see the books. in. front of them, and all
the available bellboys were hastily dis
patched in quest "of candles.
In the meantime, guests in their rooms
were frantically ringing" for boys to
bring. them lights of some kind, but as
these youths were already busy, the bells
were allowed tosring, until the persons at
the other end were tired.
Soon the deskeand~ office were dim
ly Illuminated with wax candles, and
more were distributed around the ro-
tunda wherever they would do the most
good. The supply seemed to hold out
well, and there was enough for the up
stairs halls
Ten minutes passed and still there was
no light. The thing became a joke and
groups Of men stood around telling
stories. On had q particularly good one
on fellow-guest Said he:
I'VE were having friendly game &c
pinnnkie and my partner and [ were in
hard luck. We"had lost two games and
seemed to have no chance of winning the
third. The other fellows only needed
ninety to go out. and Cooper had just
taken a trick. With happy smile he
was preparing to lay down something
when the lights went out Dash the
luck, he said, I have four aces in my
hand, and we don't need a hundred to
go out, either Before he could do
anything with the cards, one of the fell
lows struck a match and sure enough
there were the four one-spOts lie didn
count that hundred and now we don't
have to buy the drinks
Another facetious5 guest -confided to the
clerk that he thought it was all a put
up job of the Standard Oil company to
boom the sale of candies
But when all the jokes had peen told,
and just as the thing. began to grow
monotonous, the welcome lights flashed
up once more, the half-burnt candles
were removed and the hotel once MOI e
assumed the Appearance Of a modern
hosiery.

If this impression was general it would
keep the Y M. G. A. from realizing any
profit on the series3- because all hope of
profit depends upon the door sales for
each separate entertainment About 200
front seats are covered over to make ade-
quate stage room for the concerts, but
are available for lectures, and will only
be sold for each separate event Their
occupants can catch the speakers every

200 other seats, which can be secured at
the door. Many of these are the most
excellent seats in the house, and have
not sold for the entire series because
so high a price was placed upon them.

with the increasing colonization Of last
