Saint Paul Notes.

en- action of extreme Importance to
the northwest in definitely deciding
to make the South St. Paul live
stock show similar in every respect
to the famous Chicago show, and
doing for the northwest what the
Chicago show annually does, in adj
vertising the livestock industry. The
managers of the 1908 show will take
time by the forelock and official an
nouncements will be issued in a
short time, although the show is
still many months in advance. This
will give intending exhibitors a
chance to prepare their exhibits and
plan on the event during the year.

Though more than 5000 people
filled the beautiful Auditorium to
hear Schumann-Heink, the great
singer herself yielded to one Of the
curious whims of those who suffer
from the artistic temperament"
and decided not to divide the ap-
plause with her accompanist, Mrs.
Frank Hoffman, of Saint Paul, a
brilliant and exceptionally popular
musician. The little encore groups
of German songs were lacking and
the magnificent flowers sent to the
Auditorium for Mrs. Hoffman did
not cross the footilghts. Schumann-
Heink appeared alone and it was not
until afterwards that it was known
that she had refused to appear ex-
, cept as the sole recipient of honors.
The great singer was in magnificent
voice and received a tremendous
ovation, but her curious exhibition
of jealousy will probably dampen
/ the enthusiasm of her friends when
she again appears.
, Mine Host CARING, proprietor of
, a we'll known restaurant, is finally
convinced that the Saint Paul lid is
screwed down tight and fast, and on
to stay. Thereby hangs a tale.
Philanthropically aiding the thirst
: devastated, one of his walters so far
forgot himself on Sunday evening
as to serve little "schnapps, a
| little champagne and various other
4 trifes to detective and a plain
clothes policeman. The whiskey
; came in after-dinner coffee cups but
: the clothes it wore didn't make any
5 difference next morning in police
7 court. 1t cost the restaurant keep
er 500 to find out that the lid law

2 Saint Paul lines are now seriously
: considering a reform which if adopt
' ed will prove an important curb to
> the activities of Chicago catalogue
e houses. Heretofore catalogue-house
: freight shipments into the north
e west, amounting to many thousands
t of packages, have been loaded in
full cars and forwarded to Saint
Paul, the Individual shipments being
unloaded into the warehouse here
+ and then forwarded individually to
! consignees. This means that such
' houses have paid a car-lot rate over
+ three-fourths the distance the ship
, ment to the northwest goes, and the
usual less than car lot merchandise
rate for the distance from Saint
) Paul to destination. It is now pro-
! posed to charge cents per 100
, pounds for distributing such ship
ments in warehouses, which means
/ additional freight Of $50 per car on
, catalogue-house shipments. Several
!, Chicago houses are shipping as high
, as 20 cars a day Of such freight.
The proposed new rule will also
, operate against the practice Of load
, ing cars at the catalogue houses in
, Chicago, switching them to local
| freight houses and there distribut-
ing their contents for shipment to
destinations without cost.
