One New Year** Party that Tells the Tale or All. The pretty custom of making New Year's calls, said to have been Introduced by Con- i us'.clus some ten thousand years before the Christian era, obtained to a considerable ex- tent In Minneapolis yesterday. The snow deposit was just in season to admit of the use of sleighs, and most of the calls were made by gaylv gotten up parties in truly winter style. Receptions were given bythe ladies mentioned in yesterday's Glome and by 6ome few others who were overlooked — perhaps, one hundred in all having arrayed themselves to extend their finger tips and listen to the monotonous — "Wish you a happy N'year, 'm sure." Some of the arrangements on the parts of both makers and recipients of calls were quite elaborate and a single description will suffice. At 2 o'clock a party of four young men left the West hotel in an elegantly ar ranged sleigh. Besides the coachman was a footman with silver salver, both function . Aries being arrayed in Hie extreme of the mode. The gilded youths were in full dress, with pale lemon-colored gloves and satin cravats and Marechal Neil bouton nieres. Four dapple gray horses drew the sleigh and a brisk trot brought the equipage to a mansion on Park avenue. The foot man flew down, opened the gate and rang the bell, which was answered by a servant in gorgeous livery. The quartette entered the parlor, while the tiger deposited in a card-receiver in the hall their four individ ual cards tied with lemon satin ribbon and attached to a gaily-embossed and illumina ted card commemorating the new year. They were the first arrivals and eight ladies • arose in eager expectancy and, preceded by the hostess, hastened to meet them, receiv- ing, with sweet smiles of complacency, the studied greeting lisped out in society style. Several remarks are made about the weather ar.d the tobogganing prospects, when the hostess leads the way to the rear parlor where a table and buffett laden with delica cies tell the gilded youth they have not foregone their dinner in vain. Delicacies are hastily and daintily nibbled at and the party returns to the parlor and discusses the Linton bai masque and Washburn dancing party for five minutes. The gentlemen really must go and the ladies rise in their places while they back out and are driven off, when there is a rush for the hall to look at the cards. This is continued throughout the day ad infinitum, the round being almost totally devoid of variety either of scene or greet- ing. When evening comes a slight change is wrought. Each gentleman has so ar- ranged that his final call is upon his par- ticular lady friend and there he quietly set- tles himself for the evening. At 11 o'clock the ladies retire to consult on their victori ous campaign and the young men seek a libatory to refresh themselves. DECADENCE OE HOLLER RINKS. The Fittest, Only, Survive Natural Reaction and Public Sentiment. No bubble ever expanded and turned its inflated beauty to the sun in more pride than Minneapolis took in her thirteen skat- ing rinks last year. But the bubble has burst and the day of the rinks has gone. A year ago and tho roller rink craze was sweeping over the country in such a fashion that the ready speculator exchanged bank stock for rink shares and prepared to grow rich. The frenzy was universal, but Min neapolis got more than her share. One after another the build went up until thirteen of them flaunted their attractions to the people. Amusements languished. Opera was sung to empty houses, the trage dian heard his mouthing.? echo among the vacant chairs, aud the rinks hung out "standing-room-only" signs. Boiler skate manufactories sprung up like magic and merchant princes disguised themselves and became managers. Men forsook their busi- ness, women neglected their firesides and children deserted the schools for the frisky roller, and the. purse of the rink owner swelled out to a plethoric condition. But the craze was overdone. The overdose brought its own cure and the decadence of the rink began. This winter the rink is al- most an occupationless Othello. Of the thirteen In Minneapolis only two or three are paying expenses and over the others the banner of the auctioneer hangs, like the sword of Damocles, suspended by a single hair. The struggle for existence is being waged in earnest and we will soon have only the survival of the fittest A few are keeping above water, while upon others mortgages are being plastered like show bills on a dead wall. Two causes are at work against the rink. The first is the na tural reaction after an unnatural craze. The second is the pnblic sentiment which has been brought to regard the rink as im- moral, because certain immoral results had their beginning in a rink. For some of the really first rinks in Minneapolis it is a mis- fortune that bad ones have existed. It is true that several of the scandals which re- cently horrified this lordly city had their origin in a rink, but it is nevertheless a lit tle hard that the good ones should suffer from it. But they do. A sentiment against rinks has been created that will be all powerful. The press has damned them with faint praise and the pulpit has de- nounced them unequivocally. Some, and they will be the best, will live, and under their present good management will pay, but the others will go. The year which began yesterday will outlive many and most of the Minneapolis rinks. SOME TALL FIGURES. 'Why Chicago Drummer. Refuse to Credit Minneapolis Records. A pair of Chicago drummers sat in the exchange of the West hotel last evening, picking their teeth and swapping post prandial chestnuts. Finally this palled on them, and one of them picked up an even- ing paper and glanced listlessly at the con- tents. In a moment a long whistle escaped him and he said: "Well! I've been hearing a great deal down home about the wonderful growth of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the big figures of the building and city improvements, but I never really imagined they were true. Just imagine Minneapolis laying 3,250 miles of Btreet paving in 1885!" - "Oh, come. off!" exclaimed the other. "You're joking." "No. I ain't It's right here in this pa per," and he read aloud as follows: Miles of pavement laid in 1885 3,250 Miles of pavement laid in 188. 2,857 Mileß 0f pavement laid in 1883 1.350 Miles of streets graded in 1885 50,540 Miles of streets graded in 1884 11,500 Miles of streets graded in 1883 19,350 Miles of sewers built, 1885 8,000 Miles of sewers built 1684.. 6,412 Miles of sewers built- 1883...... 5,220 Milesof water mains laid, 1685 13,250 Miles of water mains laid, 1684 9,441 Miles of water mains laid, 1863 ' 7,000 Milesof sidewalks laid, 1885 45,820 Milesof sidewalks laid, 1884... 44,000 Milesof sidewalks laid, 1883.......:... 30.000 "Now, I'll be blowed if I believe a dod gasted word of it. I used to believe a great deal of the Northwestern talk I heard, but now 1 know how to take it. The idea of a city grading over fifty thousand miles of streets in a year! It's simply absurd!.' Yet the figures were taken directly from one of the evening papers, where they were gravely given as true. Think of 3,250 miles of pavement! Enough of it to pave a Btreet from here to New York, via Chicago, thence to Washington city and down to Cincinnati and Louisville and back by way of St. Louis to Minneapolis. But just imagine 50.540 miles of street grading.. If put into two streets they, would enclose the 'earth.] in. each- direction, one running to London, through Continental Europe, ! across the Holy Land, through Calcutta, , I across China, over the Pacific by way of the j I Sandwich Islands and Into the United ; States at San Francisco, thence following the ; Northern Pacific back to .Minneapolis; the other one might start south, rrnning through St Louis ana Ne*v Orleans, cross ing the Gulf and the Caribbean sea, travers ing South America aud the Antarctic re- gions, up through the Indian ocean, cross- ing Asia lengthwise, going throngh the Polar regions, all through Brit; Anitrica, back to Winnipeg and then to Minneapolis, leaving enough over to reach in St Louis again. - All this length of grading was done, according to this evening paper. In one short year in Minneapolis, with almost enough sidewalk, 45,620 miles, to go with one side of it! Not so bad on sewer building, either. This evening paper says there were 8,860 miles of sewers built in 1885. Pretty good sewer record, that In a continuous line that sewer would reach one-third of the way around the globe and would drain Minne apolis into the Caspian sea. In the other direction it would allow Bassett' s creek to peacefully drip upon the Great Wall of China! SWELLING THE TOTALS. Uncle Sam's Postoffice t-batef In the Prosperity of Minneapolis. The receipts at the Minneapolis, postof fice for 1885 amounted to nearly 5200.000, a considerable increase over the receipts for 1884. as follows: W^ January 515.971 88 February -. 14,125 63 March 14.H67 51 April 16,527 M May 16.213 03 June 15,391 11 July 16.7J9 48 August 15.605 17 September 16.C11 73 October 19,844 M November 16,335 93 December 18,247 BU Total lor tho year $193, 752 31 WINTER CARNIVAL.*. , Inauguration of the Tobogganing Skating and Snowshoeitifr Season. Tiie new year put an entirely new aspect on winter sports. On Thursday the lovers of these sports inseparably connected with ice and snow were despairing of an oppor tunity to enjoy them, and yesterday these same dlsconsolates were beaming with hap- piness. The snow, while not over four or live inches, was sufficiently heavy for all the uses of sport, and devotees were not slow to avail themselves of it. Hundreds of sleighs and cutters cashed about the streets, and the gay ring of laughter was beard on all sides. On Park avenue, which was gay with every description of vehicles on runners, and a center of attraction all day, numerous brushes took place between the fancy horseflesh of tlie city, though the speed was limited by the poor condition of the road before the snow fell. ~"_*. ■ Lake Calhoun was black with skaters all day. Thursday morning found the water covered with a glossy sheet of block Ice, smooth as a mirror, the best portions of which were quickly cut Into countless beautiful curves by the flashing blades of steeL The snow was swept away yester day morning, and hundreds of the lovers of this bracing sport described the lines of beauty all day. Johnson's lake in Central pari, was also thronged, though the larger portion of the ice was pre-empted by the "Thistle" curling club. The surfaces of nearly all the urban lakes were in tine con dition, and each had its select coterie of skaters. Tobogganing looked up very decidedly yesterday. Early in the morning the slide on Lowry's hill was put in condition, and by afternoon the toboggans were -brought on and the fun commenced. The slide is a long one, and the sensation produced by the swift descent is decidedly exhilarating, accompanied as it is by the flying snow, the ring of girlish laughter and the clutch of two little hands with a grip all velvet and steel. The "fun comes in" in hauling the toboggans back up the hill, but at the slide near the suspension bridge this disagreeable part of the work is done by steam. Tiie slide is down the steep river bank, tlie planks having been "iced" into such a slip- pery state that the descent is like falling from a house. All around It was a great day for winter sports, and when it is added the snowshoe club was out in force and skirted tlie hill back of the Cedar lake shops, the tale is told. Having been so happily inaugurated the fun will now be fast aud furious. NOTED ON NEW YEAR'S. The conductors on the motor line came out yesterday In all the glory of their new uniforms and travel picked up accordingly. The new togs are made of navy blue tricot with brass buttons bearing the coat of arms of Minnesota; cap to match, heavily bullioned with gold braid and bearing the number of the conductor. The brakemeu were not uniformed and looked, beside the nobby conductors, like "jimpson" weeds in a bouquet with golden-tongued lilies. *** Up to last evening no proposals to sell sites for the exposition had been received by the secretary, but it occasioned no alarm. Owners of Minneapolis real estate are as sharp as they make them, and they do not propose to "expose their hands before the draw." Proposals were not to 'be sealed and one owner might benefit by knowing the price put upon property by another, lt is pretty safe to say the proposals will all come in together on Monday morning. * » * . .' .' "Yes, I tried the toboggan to-night," said a Linden avenue girl, "and I tell you it's royal sport, too. Charlie and I went to the new one on Sixth avenue, near Oak lake, and we bad the sweetest toboggan in the world. I sat in front with my feet against the dashboard, and Charlie sat behind me' and we went like the wind. But 1 tell you. Nellie, when you go you want to wear bloomers that fasten around the ankle. I didn't, but I wish 1 had. You see if you happen to get your feet on one side of the dashboard, your heels dig into the snow and make it fly up your clothes horribly. My new silk stockings were as wet as water and some of the snow flew " and the girls passed on out of hearing. -■*?.: v Hundreds of good resolutions were made yesterday, as usual. If the sights of the streets were any criterion, most of them were saluted with royal bumpers, too. Along Washington avenue a good second hand drunk pervaded the atmosphere all day and it almost made one dizzy to walk two blocks.

The arrests yesterday were unimportant. They were principally holiday celebrations. The horse and buggy stolen from Hobart & Hobart, the real estate agents of the Bos ton block, was found yesterday out in the Seventh ward, at the corner of Nicollet avenue aud Twenty-seventh street Emancipation Celebration. The colored -itlzens of Minneapolis have held a fair for the benefit of the African M. E. church the past week, closing last night The profits hare aggregated over $100. Last night the affair was turned into a jubilee or Jollification meeting, in celebration of the 23d anniversary of the emancipation trom slavery, ln the ab sence of J. G. Sterritt, J. L. Neill officiated as chairman. He opened the meeting with a neat and appropriate speech. Ho recited the object of the gath ering. Julius Todd, the sweet singer of the society, followed with one of his songs, when the Declaration of Independence was read by Miss Jennie Hillyard, and J. C. Todd sang again. The Emancipation Proc lamation was read by F. L. Anderson, a graduate of our high school. Before he closed ho seemed badly confused, and made too frequent reference to congress. Dr. A. A. Ames delivered one of his characteristic addresses, which was loudly applauded. Julius Todd and several others made short and spirited speeches. Only*-. Drunken Spree. E. 11. Husbands was supposed to have been knocked from his wagon and robbed yesterday, but subsequent developments showed that he had only celebrated the holidays In his own peculiar way. Mr. Husbands is the traveling agent for a com- pressed yeast company. Yesterday morn- ing 'he was found by a milkman near the Lowry farm in Northeast Minneapolis, out beyond Gluek's brewery, in a pitiable con- dition. He was covered with blood, and the first impression was that he had been way- laid by highwaymen, but an investigation showed that he had indulged too freely In New Year's drinks and had fallen from his buggy. He was taken into custody by the police and was taken to his brother's home on University avenue. He was consider- ably bruised about the head, but no wound was found serious. The horse and buggy. which Husbands had hired from Dixon's livery stable, . was found near (i luck's brewery. ■ The Mania Fair. The D.i ni a Fair. The fair in progress under the auspices of the Society Daula, in Market hall, was largely attended yesterday and will con- tinue over to-morrow. The voting was spirited.

The Glad Hew Tear. The first uay of the new year was an on- eventful one in this city. The program published in the Globe was carried out i with one or two exceptions. Tbe fall of snow and of the mercury made the day look more like New Year's than Christmas did like Christmas. On account of the former the lacrosse game was not played on the lake, and the only skating was whero the snow was shoveled off. For some reason there was less receiving than in former years. The ladies were at home, but not- withstanding this fact many gentlemen i spent the afternoon making calls. During 1 the afternoon and evening quite a j number called at the rooms of the |Y. M. C. A., where the lauies of , the Auxiliary society received aud served refreshments. The services held in the St. ! Michael's, the German and French Catholic ; churches were largely attended. "Dad's Girl" at the Grand in the afternoon and evening drew fairly welL and the ball of Company X at tbe armory was largely at tended and was a brilliant affair. At the shoot of the gun club for pigeons, Henry Ueisel captured the largest number of birds, killing every one ot hi*, four, followed by Messrs. Welander and Wiliniau. . Big din ners and family reunions were numerous, ! and from early morn to night' the joyous saiution, "Happy New Year," echoed on the cri_r- n'ght air at every turn. To sev eral families the day was a sad one on ac count of the visitation of death, as else- where announced. The only social event of the evening, besides the Company X hop, was a surprise on James Branson. Donors to the Chief. A very pleasant surprise occurred yester day in the municipal court room, the occa sion being the presentation of an elegant gold shield to Chief of Police Shortall by the police. The presentation speech was made by Attorney C. D. Gregory in a neat manner. The chief knew nothing of the affair, and was so overcome by surprise that he could simply thank the donors for the mark of their appreciation for him. The shield is a solid gold one elegantly en graved and cost just $50. The Inscription is as follows: • Presented to Our Chief, • Mutt Shortall, By tbe Stillwater Police Force, Jan. 1, 1488.

He bad just come back from bis snowy tramp to the postoffice, with the weekly paper and one letter. * Old Mrs. Lusk bad brought in the lighted candles and piled an extra log on the fire, so that the low-celled kitchen was all aglow with ruddy light, while the smell of . stew- ing apples and the song of the tea-kettle which hung from the iron crane lent a prac tical idea of comfort to the scene. ••Taxes, aint it?" said Mrs. Lusk, whose eyesight was not as good as it had been. "No," It aint, said Philo. "It aint a letter at aIL It's just a card: 'Miss Valeria I Whitman. At home Jan. 1. 1885.' " "Lai" said Mrs. Lusk. "She wants yon to call there." "Get out!" raid Philo, with a sudden ac cess of sheepishness. "Why should Igo there?" •Well, why not?" asked Mrs. Lusk. "It's what the city people do, I'm told. They make a big cake and draw a pitcher of cider, and set down In their best clothes to sco company. Valley Whitman is dreadfully enterprising. She means to lead in the fashions." "Am 1 to call there?" asked Philo. "Why. of course," said his mother. "What else should it mean?— ' Miss Valeria Whitman. At home.'" "She's at home most da;, aint -she?" said Philo, musingly. "There never was anything of the gadabout in Valley Whit man that I ever heard of. " "Oh. but this 'era's * a new kink," ex plained Mrs. Lnsk.' "New Year's day, don't yon see?";.'^p_J^BM^no|Q^^_sg . "I'd calculated to take the" oxen onto nidge hill and grub stumps out of ' the clearing on New Year's day." said Philo. . "The next day will do just as well for the stumps. ' One might as well be out of i the world as out of the fashion." said Mrs. Lusk. Deacon Folgrove got one of Miss Whit man's cards— Squire Hart. In fact, there was not a widower, or old bachelor, or eligible swain in Cedarville wbo was omitted from the list. "I aint as young as I was." said Miss Whitman to herself. "It's bigh time 1 i took steps to establish myself." So she put fresh muslin curtains to the windows, made herself a new gown ac- cord, te tbe. latest fashion-plate, and prepared for the festive initial day of the year. Miss Valeria Whitman had passed ber 45th birthday. She was stout and ruddy, with the very best set of teeth that the Ce darville dentist could supply, and she was very tired of living alone and sewing on vests to earn her pin-money. She had de termined on this particular occasion to make a coup d'etat and win a husband. So she attired herself on New V ear's day in a green satin dress, cut J low in the neck and short in the sleeves, and pinned a bunch of chrysanthemums at her left side and puffed her hair in the most elabo rate fashion. * "I do declare." said Miss Vai to herself, "I don't look a day over 20." Deacon Folgrove was the first to arrive — bard-banded, hard-headed old man. with a complexion of leather and the keenest of black eyes. "I got a letter from yon. Miss Whitman," said he. "I suppose you want to consult me on business." "La, deacon, what a very strange Idea!" raid Miss Whitman, with a giggle. "No, in deed; I only wish • to promote sociability at this festive season." "Well, then, I guess I'd better be go ing," said the deacon, crisply. "1 hauit got no time for no sicjh foolery." "Don't bo in a hurry, deacon." said Miss Whitman. "I do wish to consult you." •'About what?" said the deacon, looking doubioosly at the chilled shoulders and pur- ple arms of the lady. "Marriage!" said Miss Whitman." you advise me. dear deacon, to commit my future to the bands of another?" "Eh?" said thedeacod. "Had an offer?" "Yes." said Miss Whitman, driven by his directness into an absolute lie. "Then if 1 was you," said the deacon. "I'd accept it; 'cause it aint likely you'll have many of 'em." Miss Whitman colored under the rice powder. "But. deacon." she stammered, "what If I don't love the man? What if 1 love another who " "Ther. don't accept him," said the dea con. "But," suddenly becoming aware of his danger, as Miss Valeria moved her chair a little clo* er to his. * my horse Is gettln' dread uneasy; I guess I'll be goin'. No, thank you." as Miss Whitman took up a plate of cake. "1 don't never eat no thin' except at my reg'lar meals. Good morn- in'!" And thns the deacon escaped. "Eh! what'- that noise? If it's the cat jumping at my canary again— but it sounded like some one laughing, and cats don't laugh. Who's that? Philo Lusk, i declare! WelL he's a likely young fellow — not as rich as Squire Hart maybe, but — oh, come In Mr. Lusk. come in! lam so glad to see voul Lovely day, isn't lt?" Philo Lusk sat down witb his hat In his lap. . •.*••: "I received your card. Miss Valeria." said he. "and 1 am here In response to it." "So kind of you!" said Miss Whitman, a smile which not even the fabled "cats of Cheshire" could excel, although they are re- ported to be good at smiling. "To tell the truth." said honest Philo, "I wanted a little talk with you." "Indeed." said the lady. "Won't you come here and sit beside me on the sofa? It's more sociable like." "Oh, yes, if yon like," said Philo, obey- ing her gestures of invitation. "You see, my mother is getting feebler every day, and we feel the need of a young person at the farm. I am 23 now. and the place is in prime order, and I've money at interest, so I've pretty much made up my mind to marry." , Miss Valeria let the puffed and frizzled head fall on his shoulder. "Dearest Philo!" she exclaimed. ,v : "Yes exactly," said Philo, moving as far away as the arm of the sofa would al low. "So if you thought your niece Bella would have me " "My niece Bella!" gasped the lady, the immovable bloom never altering on her face although her heart beat wildly and her lips blanched. "Yes," said Philo: "I hoped to have seen her here to-day." "No." said Miss Valeria, sharply. "She has gone away; if she hadn't she wouldn't accept you." . •*. -...-' v'_ *'■•;, — is she engaged to some one else?" stammered poor Philo. . "Yes," said Miss Whitman, "to Peter Gregson. But, Philo. do not grieve; lam ready to entertain your suit, though Bella despises you " "But she doesn't aunty!" said a clear, distinct voice, and Bella herself entered the room. "On the contrary, she loves Philo Lnsk dearly; and she refused Peter Greg- son, as you know very welL Oh. Philo." with a reproachful glance at her lover. "would you have believed her falsehoods?" "How came you here?" screamed Miss Whitman. "I went to Mrs. Willet's house," said Bella, "and she had gone to spend the hol idays with her niece at Medbury. So I came home." "You are a dreadful minx!" cried Miss Valeria, nearly suffocated with indigna tion. ' ; -_-•.■ "Gently," said Philo Lusk. interposing In Bella's defense. "No calling names, please" "And you shan't stay In my house an- other day!" added the indignant lady. "Then she shall come to mine!" boldly asserted Philo Lusk. "Come, Bella, my sleigh is at the door and it holds exactly two. We'll go to Parson Meadows and get married this very hour." And they did so; and Mrs. Lnsk, Sr., who waa waiting at the farm house to receive her son. was delighted beyond measure. "If it hadn't been me," said Bella, laugh- ing, mischievously, "it would have been Aunt Vai, for she was determined to marry Philo." "The Lord forbid!" said Mrs. Lusk, piously. "And after this." said Philo, as he led his bride in, "the first day of the year will be a double anniversary — the happiest of happy New Years to vs — eh, Bella?" POLITE* ESS THAT PAYS.
