CARNIVAL COMMENT.

The question Of a winter carnival for
st. Paul, to say nothing of an ice palace
feature, appears to grow less problemati-
cal day by day. The tide Of public senti-
ment appears to have set strongly against
the enterprise This, with the mild
weather, is a combination which the di-
rectors are dubious about facing. The
directors, however. have taken no definite
action yet. 1t is practically impossible to
construct an ice palace, and it Is certain
ly the temper Of the carnival board to
have an ice palace or no distinctively
winter jubilee. The palace being impos-
sibie, it Is probable the directors will
not consent to any half-hearted meas
ures and will content themselves now
with perfecting plans for the next public
festival, whether it be spring, summer,
fall or winter. The association is per-
manent organization, and the present Of
ficers and committees will hold until the
annual election next October, when their
successors will at once take up the winter
carnival Of 1901.
The Carnival association will now de-
vote itself to the next demonstration for
ST. Paul. possibly the Elks' street fair,
and will be a power for good in that or
any similar line.
The attention of Secretary A. NJ Tall
madge, of the Chamber of Commerce, was
yesterday directed to an account Of
meeting of the carnival directors publish
ed in an evening paper. In the article
Mr. Harry Black is represented as hav-
ing voiced the sentiments of his associ-
ates in the expression that 'the Chamber
of Commerce reminded him Of a sympo-
SUM of nice old ladies'"
Mr. Tallmadge was asked if the cham
Der had taken any official action concern
ing the matter
"Why," replied Mr.. Tallmadge, 1--WE
never pay any attention to what Black
saws. Mr. A. K. Pruden was asked to
state the position of the chamber con-
corning an ice palace and the carnival
people got it right from the shoulder.
body who favors an ice palace this Win
ter. They are very beautiful edihces,
these ice palaces, and look well and all
that but they are of no benefit to the
state. They convey wrong ipression OF
our climate. Real estate dealers have
complained bitterly against such mid
winter enterprises
''Do YOU think there will be a carnival
and palace this winter?" was asked.
ST do not. 1t will be impossible to raise
money enough for such purpose. The
first ice palace we ever had here cost.
including illumination and all other fea-
lures, $50, 600. The idea of raising money
by the sale of buttons is preposterous
The sentiment of the people is strongly
against it.

SUFFERED FROM THE COLD.
Carl Meyer Wandered Away From
His Home Lightly Clad

Lightly clad, Carl Meyer, an elderly
man somewhat mentally irresponsible,
wandered from his home TAO Rice street,
early yesterday morning and was not
found until nearly noon, when he was
discovered crouching beside a tomb
stcne at Calvary cemetery. His hands
were badly frost-bitten and his feet were
also slightly frozen. He was taken to
the city hospital, where the physicians
say he suffered considerably from ex-
posture, but is not dangerously affected.
When he left home Meyer wore only
an overcoat over his underclothing, pair
of trousers and shoes. This was about
o'clock. Relatives discovered his alb
sence soon afterward, but could not get
track of him. 1t is believed Meyer wan
dered over a vacant stretch of territory
west of his home and finally reached the
cemetery short time before he was
found. He was very much exhausted
when rescued.

New Trial Granted.

Judge Brill yesterday filed an order in
district court denying the motion of the
defendant for judgment, notwithstanding
the virdict, in the case of Peter Petrus
vs. Peter Alexander, but granting new
trial. The plaintiff sued to recover an al
legged balance due for wages as candy
maker. In his memorandum the court
says:
81 recognize the fact that the plain
tiff,s testimony was given under Difficult
ties: he cannot read or write in any Ian
guage; he cannot speak the English Ian
guage; and his testimony was given
through interpreters, who were changed
twice; only the last of the three inter
prefers seemed to be very well fitted for
the duty which he undertook, and the
greater part Of the plaintiffs testimony
was given through the other two.
1T is possible. with a thoroughly COM
petent interpreter, and with questions of
counsel clothed in somewhat simpler Ian
guage, the confusion and seeming contra
dictions may disappear.
Il think the interests of justice will be
subserved by a new trial.
