Social Matters BrigrUteninr HP with
Hie Advent of Cooler Weather.
The cool weather of last week gave quite
an impulse to matters social, and several
elegant affairs took place. Most of the
parties were given in honor of visitors who
have been spending some time in the city
and who were thus afforded opportunities of
meeting the- friends and acquaintances they
had made here during the season. Few of
the city people have as yet abandoned their
lake villas lor their city residences and. as
much hot weather may yet be expected, it
is not probable that society will settle to its
tegular routine gayeties until late in Sep
tember. Progressive euchre will again be
very fashionable this winter and it will di
vide honors with vingtun, a delightful game
which came Into popularity in St. Paul late
last season. The german still remains in
vogue and the initial dancing party with
this as a feature will be given this week.

It is truly a matter for regret that the
choral society has practically ceased to
exist, as the practice was of the greatest
advantage to the singers of the city. It
appears to be impossible to conceive any
plan by which the public can be induced to
support the society, by attending concerts,
making a sufficient guarantee fund or other
wise. ' The good work of the last two years
Should not be lost and the fact that i so
ciety of the kind exists will give a prestige
to the city among cultured people almost
beyond anything else. Why would it not
be*agood plan lor the members of the old j
society to organize, make a bargain at a
stipulated amount for a director and pianist,
agree upon a price for the use of a hall and
t lien assess those who desire to have the
benefit of the rehearsals, requiring payment
always in advance. if seventy-live or one
hundred were thus to club together the
sum required would be but a trifle, and
then, if it were decided to give one or more
concerts, they would be matters for after
consideration. Keep up the practice at all
events, and keep out of debt at all haz
ards.

The St. Paul Dramatic club, which lias
for yean past been our chief and reliable
resource for social amusement during the
long winter months, will soon hold its an
nual meeting of charter members to decide
what has become a pretty serious matter in
the club's future—the questinn of tilling
the office of stage manager. From past ex
perience it has been found almost an utter
impossibility for an individual member of
the club to fill the Office satisfactorily to
himself and friends, and at the same time
attend to his personal affairs; and yet,
when the management is placed in the !
hands of a certain selected few none seem
to feel the responsibility, and, as in the case
of last year, our amateur boards are occu
pied by any and everything, so it is some
thing to "fill up." We have in St. Paul,
to a very remarkable degree, a large amount
of amateur talent, and it is to be hoped our
Dramatic dub will take careful and active
measures to secure the services of some one
fitted to grasp and take it in charge, and
who will present during the coming long
season of winter, performances which will
be a source of agreeable remembrance in
the future.

Tramps are proverbially the most modest
people existing. but I heard of one the other
day who somewhat destroyed their reputa
tion for bashfulness. This specimen was a
iat, dirty, lazy individual and he entered
the residence of ■ most worthy lady with
out waiting to be invited. The lady and i
her niece were in their sitting-room and the
intruder plumped himself down Into an
easy chair, demanding something to eat.
He w:is informed that it he. would proceed
1" the kitchen be could have bread and but
ter and coffee. The lazy chap made no
movement to go, but impudently called to
the young lady, and holding up his dirty,
rugged coat demanded that .-lie should sew
a button on it. The advent of a gentleman
v h.i happened to be passing.and was called
in, rescued the ladies from what would
probably have proved more than unpleas
ant for the good ladies.
HEBE AND THERE.
The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Plait was celebrated on the 24th
of this month at their residence, No. :.m
East Seventh street. Mr. Pfaff was born
on the sth of January, ISI2, in Edsdiberg,
Bavaria, and Mrs. Pfafl on the
17th of March, 1815, in Quinabach,
Bavaria. In 1835 they were married.and in
1853 they emigrated to America and lived
several years in Freeport, 11. They then
funned a German colony and moved to
New rim. Minn., being two of the first
settlers in that country. They encountered
considerable hardships of pioneer life. Since
the Indian outbreak in ISG2 they Lave been
residents in St. Paul. Twelve children
were born to the couple, three of which are
living in this city, one in California, one in
St. Louis and one in Albert Lea, Minn.
The occasion was a happy one, as nearly
nil of the family, children, grandchildren
and one great grandchild, besides a large
number of friends were present to witness I
the second marriage ceremony, Rev. Kick
ensher, Rev. Kopp and others addressed
them in a appropriate manner. A most beau
tiful poem by Rev. Bouer and an essay by
Mr. M. Pfaff were read. A number of val
uable gifts were presented and after the
congratulations the guests partook of an
elegant supper.
A large and very recherche reception was
held by Col. and Mrs. R. M. Newport of
Summit avenue last Tuesday evening. The
occasion was the introduction of Mr. and
Mrs. E. W. Poet and Mr. William Peet,
formerly of New York, to si. Paul society.
'! here were about two hundred representa
tives of St. Paul people present to greet the
newcomers, and thei (Fair was very happy
end elegant The spacious mansion was
properly decorated with fragrant blooms, I
and on the broad lawn was erected a pavil
ion of large proportions, where Slebert's
orchestra supplied music for terpslchorean
festivities, which found favor with the '
younger guests. A "st elaborate supper '
was a delightful feature of the occasion, and
ihp reception was in all respects one of the
most graceful and elaborate ever held in St.
Paul.
The germnn to be given next Tuesday
i evening r.t S!ebert*s hall promises to be the
event of the fall season. The management
is in the hands of able gentlemen, who are
leaving no efforts untried to secure brilliant
success for their endeavors. The ladies
are doing their share in the preparation of
favors, which will, in quantity and quality,
probably surpass anything that has been
seen on our "cotillion boards." The ger
man will be led by Mr. George Bfglow,
who is in receipt of the latest and most
novel figures from the Eastern masters,
and will take occasion to introduce them on
Tuesday night.

That Flatter About the Bright Can
dle of Society.
The weather is far in advance of the sea
son and society matters are making a brave
endeavor to keep pace with it. As the
summer looks down, gayety looks up ac
cordingly, and many of its devotees are
persuading themselves the festive season is
at hand. This is a palpable error, as a few
more days will demonstrate. There is yet
an abundance of warm, pleasant weather
in store and a reaction is certain. Chilly
winds flew over the lake last week, but did
not blow many Mlnneapolitans back to their
homes as yet, as the best weather of the
year is ahead of us. The social record of
the week shows a decided brightening on
all sides, especially in the number of par
ties and receptions but they were still in
sufficient to warrant the statement that the
season is now upon us.

The Season \o\r Closing^ Prosper
ous One.
The past week has been an unusually
dull and quiet one, the weather being so
bad that there were a large number of de
partures and very few arrivals. The Lake
Park, which closed up Friday, and the La
fayette, which closes to-morrow, would
probably have had business enough to have
kept them running a week or two longer if
the weather had been the least bit pleasant
during the past few days, as the guests at
both places had their departure hastened
several days on account of this. Among
the cottagers the past week there has been
very little going on and very few guests
were entertained. The only social events
of any importance, either at the hotels or
cottages, was the private german given at
the Lafayette Thursday evening by the
members of the "Ohne Sorge" club and the
closing hop at the same hotel last evening,
which was the largest that has been given
this season.
It maybe interesting to know that the
Lafayette has done better this summer than
ever before, and it is probably owing to the
reduction in the rates made at the beginning
of the season from $4 to S3 per day. Alto
gether about 7,000 people have registered
and had rooms in the two months they have
been open.
Business at the Lake Park has not been
so good as it was last season; still, money
has been made there. The Hotel St Louis,
which has always done a good business,
will not close up before the middle of next
month. The smaller hotels and boarding
houses will probably have business enough
to keep them going till long Into
October. In the matter of passenger traffic
the Manitoba road has done very nearly CO
per cent, of the traffic business this sum
mer, which is a large increase over that of
last year. The Minneapolis v St Louis
and Motor line carried about the same num
ber of passengers as last year. To-morrow
new time tables on all the roads will go into
effect and all the boats belonging to the
Navigation company will be tied up. except
the Hat tie May,which will be kept rnnning
about a month longer. After to-day the
trains on the Manitoba road will leave St.
Paul at 9:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. m.; from the
lake they will leave Spring Park at 7:55 a.
m. and 4:50 p. in.

Col. Leip is planning the building of a
modern, well-appointed bowling alley back
of the grand stand on the base ball grounds.
These grounds, by the way, are admitted by
experts to be as near perfection for out
door grounds and the accommodation of
visitors as any in the country. Aside from
their convenient arrangement the view of
the lake afforded is certainly unrivaled.
Yesterday afternoon, business upon the
lake being slack in the way of business, the
crew of the staunch steamer Dispatch put
in a few hours wrestling with eordwood
upon the grounds adjacent to the railroad
station. The boys claim to enjoy this
recreation.
Joseph Wetler, W. N. Brown, Jr.. and
Allison Brown of Memphis made a large
catch of fish Thursday. Joseph Wetler
captured a muskalonge which weighed fif
teen pounds.
There was a sailing party given to Miss
Sherman, daughter of "Old Tecuinp,"
Wednesday evening, by Senator McMillan.
Quite a number of society people partici
pated.
The state and county teachers concluded
their assembly at the lake on Friday. They
enjoyed some healthy dissipation in the
way of sailing and eating during their so
journ.
As there are a great many people who
intend staying at the lake during Septem
ber, Mr. Leip will keep his house open
until Nov. 1.
Fishing is unusual good, both in
quantity and quality of captures.
The Winona Lacrosse club was at the
Leip for dinner Wednesday.
STILLUATIK SOCIETY.
Some Weddings and Other Events of
Interest to Society PeopSc.
Society matters remain quiet The week
has been a repetition of the past month,
with a slight improvement over the previ
ous one if anything. Many people are still,
at the lakes, and at the resorts In this and
other states. There will not be much doing
until the cool weather has come. The
week's attractions were larger than usual,
the fair, opera house and rink all being in
full blast. Besides these was the Crusad
ers' picnic on Monday and the lacrosse game
on Wednesday furnished additional attrac
tions. All of these gave our people places
to go and dHTerent opportunities to amuse
themselves. In this direction the previous
week was excelled. The recent fall in
temperature will ripen parties, balls and so
ciables and enliven matters. The girls are
beginning to talk about sealskin sacques.
Those who have none have already given
their orders to makers. Those that have
not done so will soon do this if there is not
a rise in the mercury soon. The boys are
also thinking about heavy garments. If
the cool weather lasts society matters will
soon begin to boom.
AMUSEMENTS AND TIIE FAIR.
Newel & Fielding's Comedy Ideals held
the boards at the Grand during the entire
week, presenting some of their best plays,
such as "Commotion," "Josh Z. Beck,"
"Hidden Hand," "Muldoon's Picnic," etc.
They played to good houses each night.
Their prices were 10. 20 and 30 cents, but
this was enough. The Lyceum Theater
company will be at the Grand all this com
ing week, opening with "Hazel Kirke" and
Charles Gardner on Monday, Sept. '
Manager Duraut has secured some excellent
attractions for the season.
The Washington County fair on Wednes
day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday was
not very well attended, owing to the
weather. The program was better than
usual, prepared at heavy expense by Mr.
Staples, and deserved better attendance.
Had the weather been favorable the fair
would have been well attended. In order
to evade the September rains it was held a
little earlier this year than usual, but the
management was not benefited by so doing.
For several years the society has lost
money—every season on account of the
weather.
The roller rink, with new floor, s kates
paint, paper and band stand, opened on
Thursday night with excellent music by the
Stillwate'r band. The attendance was good.
considering the inclement weather, and our
skaters elided round on the dizzy wheels like
professionals. Many had not been on skates
since last winter and spring, but this ap
peared to make no difference. That Still
water has some first-class skaters there is no
doubt. The attendance on Friday and last
night was also largg. Roller skating prom
ises to be as popular in Stillwater this win
teras last. Mr. Parmalee, the efficien
manager, is well pleased with the prospects
He says that he doesn't expect to have manj
attractions, as his experience teaches him
that the people prefer to have the floor U
themselves, and this he expects to do.

To Our Cultured Populace.'
We are glad to announce that the repre
sentatives of the Franklin Square Librarj
company are meeting with unusual encour
agement in establishing their circulating
library in St. Paul. They are procuring
quite a large number of subscribers in Min
neapolis, and after comparing the literary
taste of the Minneapolitans with that of th«
St Paulites, they naturally expect a more
liberal patronage here. Every cultured per
son knows the superiority of the literature
contained in this popular library and should
grasp this opportunity of securing access to
it, with all new publications for two years,
for less than 1 cent per week.
Experience shows that the fraternal sym
pathy among workmen in the West is
stronger than in the East,
