I ME, *87, quoth Dr. Day; We'll pack our grips and at once away, ; i- tough, but the adage old, you know, s 'That men must come and men must go.' " The a melancholy tunes caused the ea>h to jingle iv the stamp drawer, j With one kiss-me-once-agaln-before-we- part rlance around him the doctor turned to depart through the office door, atul the last sad strains had scarcely died away ere they came to his ears the following little ballad in a fresh, strong voice: "You've been here, Doe, for twelve long vetirs. And tiiinkiiig of this we forgive your lean, "88 and 1 are on deck, you see. To write '11.I 1 . M. after 'William Lee.' " The singer eeutlj slid into the soft cushioned chair and took off his hat And though Mr. Lee's bond has not yet be- "\u25a0 'wnletely executed, he re- — -^ ceived notice fromWashing- J ton to take charge of the office with the i New Year.and yesterday his adm i nis tra- tion praetical- v lv began.

NO MOKE PRESENTS. Mayor Smith Sits Down on "Pop- ular" Police Officials. At the suggestion. of Chief of Police Clark. Mayor Smith yesterday issued a general order to the police department, reading as follows: . , ' The attention of the members of the police force is called to Sections Nos. 26 and 28 of the "Rules and Regulations of the Police Force," as found in the man- ual, and which reads as follows: ">" • member shall receive any gratuity, re- ward or gift, whatsoever; nor from any person money or other compensation for services rendered, or damages sustained while on duty, and no officer or member of the police department shall be allowed to receive a present from the men under his command, and no subscription or contribution shall be made without the approval of the mayor, etc." In this connection the members of the force are hereby* instructed (and the chief of police will cause said instruc- tions to be read at the general roll-calls of the several reliefs) that .' it shall be improper for any officer of the force to solicit donations or subscriptions from any citizen or citizens, or any money or funds for the purpose of making any gif t or present, or for the sale of any ticket or tickets for any prize or raffle, without the express . . • COSEXT OK THE MAYOR, , ; r.nd that the penalty for the violation of this order shall be removal from the force. " '. \u25a0 V., - .\u25a0 \u25a0.';'.,. j It-is further ordered that all bills con- tracted by officers while members of the force must be paid within, a reasonable limit, and that the penalty for disobey- ing this order will be removal from the department. iJouERT A. Smith, Mayor. ' Since tho opening of the uew sub- stations last May and the general pro- motion consequent, much rivalry has been exhibited among the ollicersat- tached to the different precincts, and citizens have been annoyed consider- ably by Importuning officers asking for subscriptions for presents to attest the popularity of their favorite champions. The rivalry was made more bitter at the Catholic orphans' fair, when the captains were induced to run against each other for a beaver coat. A great deal of money was collected from citi- zens by friends of the candidates. The holidays afforded another good oppor- tunity for this polite way of mulcting tax- payers, and subscriptions have been go- ing the rounds for the benefit of nearly every commissioned officer on the force, cxevpt those immediately attached to the central station. In the complaints made to the mayor it was said that two officers formed a sort of mutual benefit association, one collecting money for the other. THE INJUNCTION REFUSED. .1 miy«' \rl>i>u Will Not Grant One Against the Xew Deal on the Stillwater Car Company. The argument upon the application of capitalists of Boston and Philadelphia for an injunction to restrain the Minne- sota Thresher company from floating bonds so as to purchase the assets of the Northwestern Manufacturing and Car company was heard by Judge Nelson, in the United States circuit court,yester- day. The application was denied. H. G. Stone appeared for the Eastern capital- ists, ami Messrs. Flandrau and Hyde for the Thresher company. The assets of the Thresher company, according to Mr. Stone, are 1850,000, and the liabili- ties 150,01)0. The Thresher company proposes to float $1,000,000 worth of bonds so as to purchase the assets of the Northwestern Manufacturing and Car company. Mr. Stone claimed that would leave the Thresher company with an indebtedness amount- ing to about $t')(X),OOO. Judge Nelson, in denying the application for an injunction, could not see that the Tresher company had no right to issue bonds when the question was proposed in common to all the stockholders and j no stockholder was given any advantage over the other. The whole question at isMH- was whether a corporation had any right to deal in its own stock. It was found that this question did not apply to the proposed transaction of the Minnesota Thresher company. WHAT SKXATOIt SAHIX SAID. . "The last obstacle in the settlement of the affairs of the Minnesota Thresher company was removed to-day by Judge Nelson," said Senator Sahiii as he sat I in his parlor at the Ryan surrounded by j a party of Eastern capitalists, "and now we will perfect our arrangements to de- rive some benefit from our plant at Still- water. At present we are working one- | quarter the regular force of mechanics on three-quarter time, but as soon as spring opens we will be in full i blast, and will pay more attention than ever to the business of car build- ing. Undoubtedly there will be a great demand for cars "owing to the number of railroads proposed or in course of construction, and our mills have facili- ties to supply all calls upon us. Now that the courts have settled the applica- tion for an injunction adversely to Mr. Stone, we do not look for any further opposition from that quarter, and Ido not believe that application was made for an appeal, the judge deciding with- out leaving the bench or consulting an authority that the action proposed by the minority would not lie. "By Wednesday of this week, the bal- ance of the purchase money, something over a million dollais, will be paid over to the referee at Stillwater and the new company will then be in undisturbed possession of its property. "By the way, the suit brought against Mr. O'Gorman and myself by Mr. Por- ter, in which a million and a half dol- lars are claimed, has been withdrawn by the plaintiff, who desires to put in an amended bill, but practically it means, the al>olition of the case. I will return to Washington Wednesday evening iv very different spirits from those that Ifelt but a few weeks ago. Every move that has been made by the opponents of the thresher company has not only been promptly met, but check- mated, until our successes have become monotonous. All the gentlemen who came to my aid in the outset of my diffi- culties have shown that they were pre- pared to stay until the end, and capital in unlimited quantities willbe furnished us to make our enterprise boom as it should." WHERE IS BOREAS? W. H. Dixon's Reply to Mr. Car- penter as to the Ice King's Identity. W. 11. Dixon thinks the duties of pas- senger agent are being trifled with when he is asked useless questions. Recently A. V. 11. Carpenter, the gen- eral passenger agent of the Milwaukee road, wrote Mr. Dixon, asking what had become of Boreas, the old god of wind, as he had noticed that the present king was named Boreal is. Mr. Dixon was once the editor of a small pamphlet called "Quizz," in which he answered any and all questions that were asked. Soit conies easy for him now on such trifling conundrums as the one asked. This is his letter to Mr. Carpenter: Deas Sir: Replying to your recent inquiry as to what has become of King Boreas, and who his successor, the so- called King Borealis, is. 1 beg to submit the following report of my investiga- tions. It would seem that King Boreas was burned to death at the storming of the St. Paul ice palace last winter, not- withstanding the almost superhuman efforts of that skillful surgeon, Dr. Murphy, to save him. When the sad fact became known in the Boreal King- dom, there was a cyclonic revolution, caused by the contest for the succession, which resulted in placing upon the throne a usurper, the offspring of Adam Wilde Blizzard,of Winnipeg,and Aurora Borealis, of Hudson's Bay. This King Borealis, however, was illiterate and an imbecile, and was banished by the affla- ted ministry, and lie is now writing penny-a-liner editorials on pur- ism on a St. Paul paper. His banish- ment is kept a secret until after the car- nival, when he will be impersonated by the ci-devant lumber king of Stillwater, Minn., Hon. E. W. Durant. Mr. Du- lant would doubtless prefer to represent the truly good King Boreas, or his legit- imate successor, but what is a Democrat to do in a Republican-ridden state? And then, le roi est mort, therefore long live the erudite king, A. Roarer Bore- alis, Esquire ! Trusting that this report may be acceptable, I am, very respect- fully, your obedient servant, W. H. Dixon, A. G. P. A. GIVEN A WARM WELCOME. The Boston ians Begin Their En- gagement Under Flattering Auspices. The people of St. Paul gave "The Bostonians" a very warm welcome yesterday at their two perform- ances. Iv the afternoon "The Bo- hemian Girl" was the opera, and each of the old favorites was given a round of applause as they came upon the stage. Miss Juliette Corden, who was seen and heard for the first time here as Arline, petite and with a re- markably sweet voice, found favor at once. A finer audience than the one that witnessed the presentation of "The Poachers," the new opera, in this city in the evening is seldom seen in St. Paul. Every seat was taken and the boxes were filled. It was an enthusiastic society event, where the guests were pleased to see their old friends, enjoy the humor of their dialogue and applaud the arias, which, by the way. do not monopolize the time of the principals. At the end of the second act an immense floral ship was pre- sented to the principals as they came before the curtain in response to a hearty call. The large audience was entirely satisfied. The box to the left, on entering, was occu- pied by Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Seymour, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Driscoll, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. Lane K. Stone, while iv the box opposite was a party composed of Mr. and Mrs, L. 11. Maxneld, Mr. and Mrs. Maxfield, Miss Beaumont, Miss Liilie Price and Miss Gibson, of Kentucky, a sister of Mrs. Will Maxlield. The toilets of these ladies as of many others present were noticeable for their beauty and elegance. AN UNHAPPY NEW YEAH. A/Woman With Her Babe Driven Into the Street by a Bloodthirsty Husband. "I'll have fits, and feel as If 1 was going to have one now." This was the startling announcement of a young woman, who opened the door of the central police station about 10 o'clock last night and rushed to a chair near the stove. If she had been drunk or joking it would have been very funny, but she was in dead earnest. She was clad in a thin calico dress and benumbed with the cold. The tears had frozen on her cheeks, and she was still crying. Recovering composure, she told how she had been driven from her home, No. 40 West Fourth street, by her husband, Thomas llarrigsin, who had threatened to kill her with a razor. She and her nursing babe had had nothing to eat since morning,and her husband, who had formerly been employed on the cable line, had spent all his earnings for drink. She had been accustomed U> have him beat her, and last night when he came home drunk, she begged him not to strike her. He knocked her down, despite her entreaties, and draw- ing a razor.tlourished it above her head; swearing he would kill her if she screamed. He left her to go for an- other drink, and bade, her not to move from where she lay before he returned. While he was gone she put the. baby in a neighbor's care and came to the station. Officer Tom McMahon went to the place and found Jlarrigan with the razor still in his hand. The r.eighbois verified" the woman's story, llarrigan was taken to the station and locked up. HAL REID IX COURT. Arguments For and Against a New Trial—Court Notes. Judges Wilkin and Kelly yesterday heard the argument upon the motion for a new trial made by the defense in the Hal Reid rape case. C. I). O'Brien sup- ported the motion during the forenoon upon alleged errors of law to which the defense, took exception during the trial. Mr. Munn followed with an eloquent re- ply. In the afternoon, Cant. Hart of Minneapolis struggled for the motion by pointing out the fact that the testi- mony of Miss Maud Compson was with- out corroboratlon, and that, if anything, it corroborated the defense. He re- viewed the testimony at length. County Attorney Egau closed the argument, saying that it was a case which had more corroboration than cases of that character usually had. The court took the matter under advisement, and ad- journed court until 10 a. m. Wednesday. Hal Reid and his father, Dr. Reid, were present. The prisoner looked rather hopeful, and did not make any bad breaks. COURT NOTES. W. P. Curtiss has brought suit for dissolution of partnership against J. N. Harris. Curtiss alleges that Harris has shortened the accounts of the firm. In the suit of Dennis llarrigan against Edward Fieldham, the motion to strike out the complaint was denied. In the case of Ilezekiah Hail against Sarah A. Chase, judgment for $30 was entered for Hall. John Wyjlie has sued Burnham & Purvis for $822.41 upon a check. Polo Tournament. .Three straight goals attested the skill of the Columbias, formerly St. .Pauls, in their first meeting with the St. Georges at the polo game at Jackson street rink last evening, and the largest crowd that has yet attended the tour- nament was present to greet the victors. From the outset it was evident that both teams were pretty evenly matched, and but for a series of accidents to the losers, the principal of which was the crippling of Barrow, who was forced to retire, the tables might have been turned. As it was nearly two hours were consumed before the bell rang for the players to quit the glassy surface, and exciting scenes marked the game throughout. There had been a strong feeling among the backers of the St. Georges that this team would win, and considerable money was wagered and changed hands. At the Olympic. The Olympic had a rush last evening. Every seat in dress circle, parquet and gallery was filled; every bit of stand- ing room in the aisles and entries was taken . up, and over 250 people were turned away, simply be- cause they couldn't get inside the house. The performance is a good one— Lilly Clay Gaiety com- pany is its name — and scored many good points in last evening's perform- ance. The burlesque entitled the "Lit-" tie Devil's Revels" brought down the house. The Miranda sisters gave an exhibition on the trapeze, and a num- ber of fine vocal gems were mixed through the entertainment. GLOBULES. Typographical Union No. 30 will give a ball at Market hall on the evening of Feb. ii.% The Painters' Protective association has organized a painters' carnival club. The uni- form adopted is white overalls and jumpers. The stockholders of the Commercial Na- tional bank received an appreciable New Year's gift yesterday in the shape of a semi- annual dividend of 5 per cent on their stock. Lieut. Woodruff, in harge of the weather bureau in this city, in a bulletin of indica- tions for the twenty-four hours commencing at 7 o'clock this moruiug, predicts for St. Paul and vicinity, Minnesota and Dakota, slightly warmer fair weather, followed by snow and light to fresh, variable winds. August Boehmer, living on North Rice street, near Front, was arrested on a warrant yesterday afternoon, charged with larceny. Boehmer is said to have a mania for stealing old clothes, and in his house Lieut. Cook found all sorts of cast-off garments, from un- dershirts to overcoats. Boehmer also stole a white bearskin lap robe. Andrew Flynn, a switchman employed in the St. Paul &Duluth railroad yards, struck the back of the head against a pier of the Minnehaha street bridge, while climbing a moving box car last uight at 1 1 o'clock. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital by the Margaret street patrol. His injuries are dan- gerous but not fatal. The charge against Fritz Siewert, tfie sa- loon keeper implicated in the assault upon Dr. Dorion's coachman, was changed to disor- derly conduct in the municipal court yester- day, and Siewert furnished $25 bail for his appearance. August Schroeder, bartender for Siewert, was held in 850 bail. The hear- ing of the case was continued to Jan. 5. Billy Wilson, the champion colored pugilist, yesterday received his appointment as patrolman on the aolice department. Wil- son will have star 4> 72," and will take a beat on Minnesota street to-night. Officer Allen is transfen ed to the Kando street precinct, and Officer Fred Tegeler, formerly of the Rondo street precinct, is detailed as a clerk at the municipal court. C. H. Griffin, of Aucrbach, Finch & Van Slyck, gave a delightful supper New Year's eve to his department employes and a few other . friends, among whom were: Rev. William Mayhew, Brothers Ramaly, Swan, Blum and Ilottinger, Deacon Webber and Janitor Pete Lewis, all of Bethel mission, Dayton's Bluff. Herr Bismarck, of Men- dota, gave a very correct imitation of the '•Spider.'* •-:.;' \esterday morning as Mr. Ludig, the Globe's special carrier to Minneapolis, was returning home he was hailed by a woman in an open sleigh, who asked bis assistance. Both of her hands were frozen. She was taken to the house of Peter Remskel, 979 University avenue, and cared for. The lady's name is Mrs. W. Banks, and she was return- ing from Hamline, having taken her hus- band there to work. Additional St. .Paul Sows on the Fourth Page. PERSONALS.

AT HOME NEW YEAR'S A Long- List of Ladies Who Received and Entertained Their Friends. Decorated Mansions, Beauti- ful Toilets, and It Was "A Happy New Year." i .i In West St. Paul the Gentle- 1 men Kept Open House in Royal Style. Members of the Loyal Legion, Call on Several Distin- guished Guests. Tln> first day of the new year, though long anticipated, is already numbered with the past, and once more the world resumes its prosaic routine. It came in brightness, yet the youth, beauty and fashion of the city awoke yesterday morning to the painful fact that the New Years calls must be made with the thermometer hovering in the t( ens below zero. Elaborate prepara- tions were made at some residences, but as one lady remarked, "the idea of making New Year's calls is evidently rapidly going to decay." Some prom- inent lady makes this remark every year. The ladies clai v that it is en- tirely too much trouble, and in fact one receiving calls is continually on the go and ready to faint with" weariness when the receiving hours are over. As for the gentlemen. they have no reason lor complaint, as it is one never-ending round of pleasure with them, and fraught with no trouble or preparation. The custom was ob- served to a greater extent than was ex- pected, though not nearly so much as '87 and '86; Some of the houses were really elegantly arranged, as shown in the following list, and very handsome toilets were numerous: MBft.lta 11. MAXFIEI.I). At her home, 322 South Exchange street, Mrs. L. 11. Maxtield received handsomely, and was ably assisted by Mrs. W. H. Maxfidd. Mrs. J. 11. Hum- phreys, Miss Price, Mrs. Beaumont and* Mias Gibson. Mrs. L. 11. Maxiield wore a handsome black tulle with jet trimmings. Mrs. William 11. Maxfield appeared very attractive in a yellow satin. Mrs. Humphreys in white, Miss Beau- mont in pink and" Miss Price with a blue" moire all looked exceedingly pretty. The parlors were darkened. and every- thing bore an air of refinement. The callers were many, and so attractive and inviting did the refreshments appear in the inner parlor that few fa led to re- spond to the invitation. A servant in livery attended the door. MBS. 11. J. BOB2T. At the pretty home of Mrs. H. J. Horn, the south eant coiner of Walnut street and Irvine Park, that lady re- ceived in a neat, elegant manner, as- sisted by her accomplished daughter and Mesdames W. L. Banning, J. Q. Adams, N. P. Landlord, Edwin Mason and Thomas T. Smith, 1 and the Misses Lucy, Sophie and Vir- : ginia Perrin. Miss lngersoll. Miss Maria Ingersoll, Miss Wheaton, Miss Edith Wheaton, Miss Banning. Miss Katharine' Banning, Miss Hall, Miss Margaret : Hall, Miss Smyth, Miss Savage, Miss- Mason and Miss Adams. All was bright' and cheerful here and the hours were from 4to 10 o'clock. Though there were- a great many callers, all was quiet and' refined. i MISS. N. S. DOISM.VX. Mrs. Nina S. Dousman received at her handsome residence, 435 Summit ave- nue, from 3 toG, assisted by her mother, Mrs. (Jen. Sturgis, her sisters, Mrs. J. D. Lawler and Miss Sturgis, Mrs. J.

The reception was one of the most brilliant of the day, and the callers were legion. The large parlors were tastily arranged. The blinds were carefully drawn and numerous wax tapers and gas jets, over which handsome shades were arranged, gave a most beautiful effect. Elaborate and elegant was the table, not only containing the daintiest delicacies, but many handsome flowers. It attracted many glances of admiration. It was truly one or the most elaborate and pretty receptions in St. Paul. The ladies deserve especial praise for their efforts. MRS. JOIIN S. PRINCE. The elegant and spacious residence of Mrs. John S. Prince, at 487 East Eighth street, was decorated with flowers and evergreen last evening. Mrs. John S.

Perkins and Miss Perkins re- ceived, assisted by Mrs. Henry Schur- meier, Miss Child, Miss Moore, Miss Ravalle, Miss (.ates and Miss Annie Warner.

I When there is a bright crowd of beautiful young ladies, about whom an air of sweetness hovers, there will be found the largest gathering of the fash- ionable youth. Such was the ease at • No. 407 Laurel • avenue, .whore Miss Fannie Kibbee re- ceived, assisted by Miss Clara Power, Miss Kate Wright and Miss Jessie Stel>- bins. The darkened parlors, in which wax tapers burned, presented a pretty [spectacle* especially when the hostess and companions were present. A care- fully arranged and handsome table added its share to the general beauty, i ÜBS. J. E. MOOKE. ; At the home of Mr. James Elbert Moore, :>f>3 tsouth Oak, Mrs. Moore re- ceived quietly- vet handsomely, as- sisted by Mrs. Henry C. Drake, Mrs. W. K. L. Ladd, Mrs. Charles R.

I.AWTOX. : : At the. Lawton residence, MS East Winifred street, the ladies received, the "unkindestcut of all." From the put- side appearance all was quiet, but with- in all was gaiety. The residence- was brilliantly illuminated throughout and the chandeliers were festooned with wreaths of cut flowers and ropes, of evergreens, and the lady guests, as one expressed her feelings, were a little "riled"' at a placard in public view upon entering the reception hall, bear- ing, the inscription: '.'Callers will please remove the snow trom their feet before entering." Well, some thought they would let that go as a joke and ventured in, to receive a most cordial welcome in the greatest style by Messrs. A. M. Lawton, It. M. Lawton, Mr. Yan- isb, S. W. Boyd and C. E. Thayer, the '.'model quintette." : Here the ladies wtye treated to an elaborate musical programme, which was a pleasant di- versity from the usual routine of the afternoon. After the compliments of th# day had been discussed by all par- tie./*, the curtains ..were drawn and a tempting repast was shared by the guests, who were crushed again by hU;-h insinuations as "Nto smoking allowed in the presence of gentlemen," and. another, "Please do not spit on the carpet;" they evidently expected callers. from the Mclntire resi- dence, where, the gum was served. The "menu" was profuse, and several rare dishes were served in addition to the other delicacies, such as oysters on the half-shell, pickled .. pig's feet, bologna sausages, tripe, etc., which the ladies concluded to.sample later. \ ,-\u25a0• MINTim- RESIDENCE. r The pleasant home of M. L. Mclntire, 3(5 E; s Isabel street, attracted a brill- iant throng of callers from a until Gp. m., who found j seven well-known and popular "West side" favorites in readi- ness to show the ladies how to do the proper act in receiving, and the ladies wore caught more than once, taking notes upon . the novel ideas of the gentlemen for future use. The hust, Mr. Mclntire was assisted in re- ceiving by Rev. J. F. Stout, John Law- ton, R. N. Hare, 1. St. Pierre, W. R. Denis and James Dingle, who took their turn in presiding at the table, which received more compliments than per- haps any other on the West side. Rev. J. F. Stout and Mr. Lawton evidently had been there before, nevertheless they urged their guests to partake freely, for there was plenty of every- thing and no doubt would .be lots left. The table was loaded with the delicacies of the season. Raw oysters were served from a large cake of ice, which served as a most attractive cen- terpiece for the table. The three-min- ute coffee was delicious, also the tur- key; the ices, with angel's food, were carefully prepared for the guests, while the desert consisted of ."gum, which the ladies seemed to appreciate as an old friend. About seventy ladies had paid their respects to this party ofre- ceivers at 5 o'clock. * : rnoF. BRYANT'S. \u0084 The residence , of Prof. Bryant, lf)2 East Congress street, was on the list, : and-received about fifty calls during the afternoon. The guests were welcomed by the host, assisted by Mr. O'Neall, Mr. Gernsey, Mr. Porter and Mr. Schroll. The. weather was discussed, \u25a0 also au elaborate ! menu which was served by the gentlemen in a creditable manner. Their costumes were becom- ing, also their behavior. A. W. MORTENSON. -^v ' The elegant home of A. W. Morten- son, (55 East George street, was thrown open to their lady friends from 2 o'clock until 0 p. m. Mr. Mortensou was to have been assisted by Messrs. Campbell, •Hart and Tallmann, but— "just like the men" —two backed out and, ereatly to the disappointment of the host, only one remained to share his troubles dur- ing the afternoon; but, nevertheless,, i Mr. Hart's smiling countenance and I Mr. Mortenson 's cordial greeting were sufficient to warrant one of the most enjoyable calls of the day. The decora- tions of the parlors were elaborate and dining room was attractive in every way. About sixty- ladies paid their re- spects during the afternoon and all re- port a lovely time. i -' dr. J. B. darling's. , The chief attraction among the callers waS evidently at the residence of Dr. Dating, 101 East Congress street, and the? favorite question was put to each as they met: "Oh, girls, have you been down to Nil East Congress street? Do yOa know, they have a blind—; but there. I promised not \to tell. But say, you just go and see for yourself." And tlie'v did go. The consequences were 103 r ladies called during the day, and, • with few exceptions, re- ceived the penalty of standing under the "blind mistletoe," and as Capt. Starkey was appointed receiver for'the event, he was at last obliged to call assistance on several occasions, but got there just the same. Dr. Dar- ling was assisted by Capt. Starkey. Paul Martin, A. W Coleman, J. N. Bell and Howard L. Smith, who are to be con- gratulated upon their success, and more especially their extreme politeness and attention toward the ladies. The re- freshments were particularly refresh- ing and served in the latest style, "' ; ' HKNKY MARTIN'S. - ' At the residence of Henry Martin, 180 Concord street, the host was assisted by Messrs. Prescott, Ilemlimus and Niles. Through modesty their names were not published, and their callers were few but select, and received a cordial enter- tainment. \u25a0 ••••\u25a0 . ? \u25a0 - C. B. I.AWTOX. ". " One of the most attentive reception committees was found at the elegant home of C. B. Lawton, corner Stryker avenue and Isabel street. : The ladies were received . and presented in the greatest of style to the host, C. B. Law- ton, assisted by W. A. Hawthorne, Will- lam Stewart and R. L.i Robbins, wlio were becomingly attired in the conventional full evening coetume, with white ties, bouquets of roses and sinilax, hair "a la pompadour," and each one wearing the universal smile, Wearied as they might have been expected to be by their social labors of the day, none succumbed to fatigue, and received the <5 o'clock call- ers with even more enthusiasm than those who were on time. The guests were treated to nothing stronger than—onions -which were served in the side room with pretzels, cheese and sausage. After partaking "daintily" of these ''remind- ers" the guests were escorted to the dining hall, where the "entrees" were served, consisting of salads, ices, coffee, chocolate, hot lemonade and kisses, fn this room the placard was turned and "Our Motto -Never Eat Too Much," was read, and the guests were once more escorted to the parlors find another sign was read— "slo for squeezing the boys." lint the farewell was the most impress- ive. A card was placed in full view bearing the words, "All callers making remarks about the weather shall go to roam." or, in other words, bid an alTee- tionate farewell to the host and assist- ants. BEY. T)H. OIIKISTIE. The residence of Rev. Dr. Christie, No. 300 West Third street, was the scene of a very pleasant reception yes- terday, lasting from Xto 8 p. m. Rev. and Mrs. Christie were assisted by Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Judge Young, Mrs. Henry Roardmau, Mrs. Skinner, Mrs. Charles Bigelow, Mrs. Walling- ford, Mrs. \V. B. Dean, Mrs. William Spencer and Mrs. Horace Bigelow.

Refreshments were served dur- ng the afternoon. BEY. I>U. POPE. Tlfe residence of Rev. Dr. I'ope, of the Church of the Good Shepherd, was thrown open yesterday afternoon. Dr. Pope received, assisted by Mrs. Semple and Mrs. Wansey. A large number of of the friends and parishioners of Dr. Pope improved the opportunity to call upon him. AT THE Y. M. C. A. BOOMS. The ladies' auxiliary of tiie Young Men's Christian association received at their parlors yesterday between the hours of 4 and Bp.m. There was a constant stream of gentle- men visitors all the afternoon and the ladies had their hands full in attending to them all. Everybody seemed to be happy. The very enjoya- ble musical exercises, as well as the tempting refreshments served by dainty hands, tendered somewhat to bring about this result. The following ladies made up the reception committee: Mrs. C. W. Griggs, Mrs. W. B. Dean. Mrs. C. W. Hackett, Mrs. E. M. Van Duzee, Mrs. Harvey Officer, Mrs. J. R. Hague, Mrs. D. 1). Merrill, Mrs. A. B. Savage. Mrs. G. Sydney Smith, Mrs. W. B. Shaw, Mrs. H. T. Drake, Mrs. Edwin Treasure, Mrs. Talcott, Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. 11. L. Morse. At 8 p. m. an entertainment was given at the gymnasium, consisting of a sleight of hand performance by W. H. Middleton, music and readings" and an informal reception. Notwithstanding the many other attractions going on in the city there was a large audience present, who had the pleasure of listen- ing to a programme of unusual ex- cellence. THK OOSPET, TEMPERANCE ROOMS. The Gospel Temperance union rooms on Seventh street were crowded yester- day afternoon from 2 o'clock until <>. Invitations had been sent out to the workingmen all over the city, as well as to their employers, by the good ladies of the union, and by :> o'clock every s^at in the hall was filled. The W. C. T. IT. and members from the various churches of the city assisted the ladies of the Gospel union. Refreshments were served to all desirous of partak- ing of them. Dr. Smith opened the exercises with prayer and a short address of welcome. He called on those present to see to it that they begin the new year right by making the B roper resolutions and "keeping them, ishop Gilberts-poke of the grand work that is being carried on by the noble women of Gospel and Christian Temper- ance unions. Songs were sung by Miss Nellie Mabon. Mrs. C. Brinckerhoff. Mrs. Fanning, Mrs. 11. S. Baker and Mr. Swift. Mrs. S. D. Mentzen played and sang a piece of her own composition. General re- gret was expressed that the rooms were too small to accomodate the audiences that assemble there. The members of Garfield post, G. A. R., called in a body and added to the occasion by singing several songs. During the afternoon Supt.

Mrs. Hoxsie, Mrs. Atkins, Mrs. Miller, Mis. Sewell, Mrs. Fanning, Mrs. Fryer, Mrs. Luly, Mrs. Groat, Messrs. Walforth, Dorraeh. Torrance Nowe and Rev. Dr. S. G. Smith. WHAHUY MUSICALCONSERVATORY. Snre enough.the perfectly bewitching and irrisistible trio were found at the Wharry Musical conservatory, corner of South Robert and Winifred streets. From the number of conveyances await- ing their next order, one might suppose they were the West side pets. In an- swer to the bell, the lady guests were received by "Wee- Wee" Wharry, who said "lomein, and dive me free tick- ets." The porlors had been beautifully decorated with cut flowers, and ropes of smil ix suspended from the chandelier to the corner of the room forming a canopy. The guests were re- ceived by the committee, J. M. Haw- thorne, V. W. Lathroo and C. S. Schur- man, who presented a pleasing appear- ance in the appropriate Prince Albert costumes', white neckties, corsage bou- quets of loses and forget-me-nots, dia- mond ornaments and evening slippers. Each lady was presented with a satin souvenir, delicately manufactured by the host, and after being in- troduced to their comrades, were invited to a sumptuous collation over which precided the Misses Wharry and Mrs. Kinzie, who deserve greot credit for the pleasant entertain- ment. Many of the ladies expected to find Rev. Mr. Gamble there to extend a cordial greeting, but he was absent. Mr. Hawthorne received the first pro- posal, and in spite of a feeling of jeal- ousy among his rivals, they could but congratulate him, and will keep open house to Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne in 1889. DISTINGUISHED MEN RECEIVE. For genuine pleasure of a delightfully informal nature, one may refer to the unique manner iv which the members of the Loyal Legion observed New Year's Day. Headed by gal- lant, courteous Maj. Ceorge Q. White, they assembled, forty strong, of the most distinguished residents of St. P.ml, at the Hotel Ryan, about 12 o clock. Here they boarded two four- horse sleighs, and started off with a dnsh and spirit that spoke of younger days. They called first at the residence of Gen. John B. Sanborn, where a light lunch was served, and, adding the gen- eral to the party, they called at Geii. Sibley's home, where they received a right hearty welcome. They remained here some little time, and wh > knows what these veterans talked about? When they started to leave, Gen. Sibley accompanied them to the door, deeply moved. As he stood in the door to bid them good bye, 'tis said his eyes filled with tears. Gen. Ruger, Hon. Henry M. Rice and Gov. McGill were next favored where the former scenes and en- joyments were repeated, and the last host to receive the bappv|crowd was genial Gov. Ramsey. Old days and reminiscences formed a great part of the programme. 'Tis safe to say that no more pleasure was experienced in St. Paul than that which found full sway in this merry crowd. Sister Sebatian's Death. Sister Sebastian, in the world Kate Casserly. a novice at St. Joseph's acad- emy, died suddenly yesterday at 10:30 a. in., after an illness of but a few days. The deceased was about twenty-five years old and had been attached to the academy for fourteen months. Her pa- rents live at Hastings. The funeral will occur this morning. *&•«&& SPECIAL NOTICE! ppe^^2s,| orLuIML RU 8 luL S Commencing from to-day (Tuesday, Jan. 3) and until further notice, our store will be closed every evening at 6:30 (six- thirty) except Saturdays, when we will be open until 10 (ten) P.
