ST. CLOUD.
"A Practical Womap's Plain Statement
of Facts.

Editor National Tribune: I have re-
ceived so many letters asking about st.
Cloud that I thought 1 would write a
short letter telling some of the good
things about this Southern city and its
advantages over our Northern towns.
The water is soft and clear as crystal.
OF course, It Is not so cold as we had In
Wisconsin, but when you get used to 1t
you do not mind its being warm, and
you can get plenty of ice, and it does
not cost as much as ice did in Grants
burg, Wis Butter and eggs are lit
tie higher than they are up North, but
one does not have to buy so many warm
clothes, neither do you have to buy
coal to warm your house for eight or
nine months of the year. Anyone who
wants to can live cheaper here than
they can anywhere else. A good dress
maker could do well here if a shop
We're opened, and the people informed
that they could get their sewing done
as they could back North. Some want
Ito know about snakes, tleas and bugs
They are no worse here than anywhere

ty, Wis, than L have found here.
have seen but one snake since l
came to Florida, and that was dead.
You will find some kickers wherever
you go, but most everyone here
new houses being built all the time.
The new hotel is nearly finished and is
a fine building. There are some nice
large brick buildings being built, and
for town that is no older i think it
would be hard to find a nicer one. We
have a good school and two good
teachers. The First National Bank of
st. Cloud has been doing business about
two weeks, and the post office building
is almost finished. 1t is brick struc-
ture that any town might well be proud
of when finished; but the best way for
people to do is to come here and see
for themselves. The G.. A. r, w. r. c.
and Woodmen have organized lodges.
and meet once a week. The G.. A. r.
is going to build a hall 40 by so feet.
1t will be two stories high and have a
dining room and kitchen, so that the
w. r. c. can serve dinners to the COM
rades and all who wish to attend

Illuminated Washington.

Editor National Tribune: Might as
well have little more amusement over
the dates of the illumination in WASH
ington. Comrade Christy, Creston, Iowa,
insists Washington was illuminated
April IA. 1865. We insist we are right
in naming Thursday evening. April 13,
1865, as the date of the illumination.
He is correct as to the illumination of
April IL. That was confined to Govern
ment buildings, or nearly so. The grand
illumination. in which the entire city
participated, was April 13. President
Lincoln did not go to the theater on
the night of the 14th amid blaze of
fireworks and a grand illumination.
Won't you kindly look at the files of the
Star on this point? Comrade Christy
wants to be right. Comrade Heed (pot
Reed) wants to be right. and readers
want history correct-Wm. w. Heed,

After the evacuation of Atlanta We
were ordered to Nashville, and there
put up breastworks, as Hood was facing

star holds absolutely every trump card
in his or her hand, and the manager
Is powerless. He must pay the price if
he wishes to add this or that world
known name to his operate program.
The expenses of company like the
and Metropolitan are almost
beyond the comprehension of the lay
man, and even with the high prices
charged for tickets to such perform
ances, it is well nigh impossible TO
make grand opera pay in this country.
Knowing how different all this is
abroad, we cannot refrain from a slight
feeling of modification over the fact
which Mr., Hammerstein's failure re-
veals. Nearly every city, and many
Of them not great cities, either, like
Paris and London, have their regular
opera season, which even the poor are
able to enjoy, on account of the rea-
of the tickets. And the
trouble is that there is no prospect
whatever of the present conditions in
America being changed. Our reputa-
tion for paying big prices is unfor-
too well established, and we
will have to go on paying them, for
opera as well as everything else, there
by cutting OH he great mass of the
people from a pleasure which they
ought to be able to enjoy. and which

The question as to what will become
of the Grand Army Halls after the
veterans have passed away was sug-
gested by the effort made by the vet
Grams of Chicago to extend the lease
on Grand Arpy Memorial Hall Of that
city 20 years longer, 6s until 1913.
The objection tQ this was that, at the
all the veterans viii have answered the
last roll cell, and that the property is
too valuable to run the risk OF It's be-
ing handed over to parties selected BY
the Grand Army organization. which
might be undesirable.
