OUR CITY'S LIFE.
It Was Illustrated in the Mag
nificent Industrial Parade
of Yesterday,
When the Greatest Turnout
of All Carnivals Was on
Exhibition.
Every Line of the City's Busi
• ness Was Represented in
the Line.
It Took a Whole Half Day for
the Procession to Pass
a Point.

To-Night the Palace will Be
Stormed Again— Sports
of the Carnival.
"Out of the way or be crushed!"
yelled the mounted police yesterday
afternoon, and backed by a pair of
lusty lungs their voices circled high
into the air, above the shrieks of the
small boy, the roll ol drums and the
loud clanging of numerous gongs. Push
ing, jamming and squeezing, the im
mense throngs slowly and laboriously
melted from the streets to the sidewalks.
It reminded one of a Belfast riot, to see
the people glaring at one another and
ripping out an occasional ear-splitting
oath, as they pushed this way and that
to get away from the hoofs of the po
licemen's steeds. No one ever saw
such a crowd on Third street, nor
did one ever experience such
"compression" as tiie multitudes
ga**e way for the Industrial parade.
St. Paul's Industrial parade formed
a principal feature of -the Carnival.
Every business, industry and trade ap
peared in line and proved far more in
teresting and instructive than any Mardi
Gras or street festival on record. There
were butchers, bakers, brewers^ foun
dries, groceries, presses, boilers, school
rooms, stationery stores, organs ami
every branch of trade one could well im
agine, and along the streets were manu
factured various articles as proof and
samples of
TnE employe's skill.
The people along the route were in
tensely enthusiastic and received these
exhibits with yells of delight and ap
plause. Besides these, the officers and
"fathers'* of a great municipality ap
peared in force to show the character
and appearance of those who govern
the place where such establishments
and manufacturing industries are lo
cated. There were many amusing feat
ures, and everything was gotten up in
the best possible style. A grand show
ing was made by the fire department
and every branch of the city service.
The old settlers.in one immense wagon,
appeared as statues of the pros
perity of a great city, and on
every hand were received with
great favor. The Knights of the
<irip formed a pretty and pleasing
line. Over fifty bright, handsome, in
telligent men appeared in neat, dark
dress and plug hats, and evidenced the
strength and character of the houses
they represent. They made one of the
most pleasing parts of the parade. It
was a great exhibit of wealth, prosper
ity and progress, and every one who
saw it pronounced it the grandest ex
hibition they had ever seen. Brass
bauds and drum corps were disturbing
the quiet forenoon air as early as 11
o'clock, and on nearly all the down
town streets there were signs that
something was going to happen long
before noon. In front of any number
of places of business, wholesale, retail,
manufacturing, and even offices, there
were being
RIGGED OP FLOATS,
loads of merchandise and hat not, that
when brought together and strung in
line,made one of the longest processions
that has ever been seen anywhere. It
was a procession that the people liked
to look at, too.
It is hard to tell how many people
saw the procession. Men, women
and children stood in the melting snow
and watched it for two or three hours.
Expert medical testimony as to the
number of colds and sore throats re
sulting from cold feet would be inter
esting, but the returns are not all in on
that point. It was about the same for
the entire length of the line of march.
First come first served, was the rule for
standing room, and those who got in the
front rank early in the game, kept their
places, while the shorter ones, who came
ate, contented themselves with occa
sional glimpses at the taller floats as
they came along the line. The parade
could not but have had a good effect on
the thousands of strangers in the city,
who were able to get a bird's-eye view
of what St. Paul is, what is going on up
here, and what are the sources of the
city's greatness. Many of the old citi
zens were surprised at what they saw.
They did not know so many industries
were represented.
The suburban youngsters, North,
South and West St. Paul, not to be out
done by the parent city, showed the
"old man" what they could do when
stirred up, and made a record in the
procession of which all must feel justly
proud. If there were and who supposed
that these little towns existed only in the
fertile imaginations of real estate boom
ers, these had their doubts dispelled by
good and substantial evidences of their
growth and prosperity.
HOW THE L.IKE WENT.
Features of the Great Panorama
Illustrating the City's Business.
At 12:30 things began to grow lively
In the vicinity of the Seven corners, and
the tedious business of formation
was being pushed by the officers in
charge. It is no easy matter to handle
bo unwieldly an aggregation of horses,
vehicles and men, and though it was
the intention to start the line in motion
at 1:30, it was fully 2:30 when the vast
column took up the march, the platoon
of police heading the great line.
Up then rode Grand Marshal Bushnell
upon a sorrel steed. He was gaily uni
formed in a Carnival costume of blue
and white. He and his staff presented
a fine appearance as . they proudly rode
before the Great Western band. The
musicians were in blue uniforms com
bining a Carnival effect with a military
style. The officers of the Carnival asso
ciation v rode in a big omnibus. Six
mounted trumpeters followed, march
ing front. Chief Black and his
assistants and staff, and the
members of the board of fire
commissioners rode In carriages, being
followed by the massive chemicals, en
gines and trucks of the fire department.
The fire laddies had done their best in
rigging up their fire-extinguishing out
fits, and the horses, arranged in pyra
mids, tandems, four-abreasts, and four
in-hands, and decorated with plumes
and tassels of all colors, reflected great
credit upon their masters. A particu
larly interesting feature of this— the
first division was a miniature hose
cart drawn by four dogs, and manned
by eight small boys, who were attired in
the cute red and black uniform of the
Red Fox club.
Gen. Bishop, in the uniform of the
old Minnesota Second warriors, and his
aides, who were in red and blue uni
forms respectively, brought up the sec
ond division. The military band from
Fort Snelling and nine carriages con
taining Gov. McGill, ex-Govs. Marshall
and Ramsey, Adjt. Gen. Seely, the gov
ernor's staff, the judges of the supreme
court, Judges Kelly and Brill, aud the
"last survivors of the
OLD SETTLERS' ASSOCIATION'"
lead this division. Then came up the
two floats of the Daily Globe news
boys, all the "kids" tooting horns and
trying to outdo everything else. The
street and sewer departments fol
lowed. "Labor Overcomes all Ob
stacles" was the motto of the
street force. Some of the night brigade
wore yellow oilskins. A large force of
workingmen, with picks and shovels at
a carry, marched up iii eights. The
sidewalk cleaners came next with the
legends. "My Sidewalk is O. X. ; Clean
my Neighbor's," and "Clean Your Side
walks or We Will," borne high aloft.
The "underground world" was repre
sented by a white horse and cart and
men with shovels. Then came street
sweepers drawn by five teams and four
by four horses abreast each. A big
stone cart followed with a four abreast.
A street scraper, decorated with Ameri
can flags, was tugged along by a four
in-hand, also a stone travoy, and
eight tandems drew a snow plow each.
Seventy snow carts in double file fol
lowed. Oifrone was held a banner with
the motto, "Give Us More Snow," and a
wagon filled with snow was described
by the legend, "Snow, Beautiful Snow,"
The gas force had two floats composed
of globes and a banner worded, "Our
Illumination the Best Yet." Fourteen
men followed with lamplighters upon
long decorated poles. This division
afforded lots of fun for small boys all
along the route of the parade.
the THIRD DIVISION.
The third division, consisting of the
floats and turnouts of the wholesale
trade, was commanded by Marshal E.
F. Warner and headed by "the Metropoli
tan band. Allen, Moon & Co. had
several big loads of tea,
coffee, tobacco tubs and grocer
ies, drawn by four-in-hands, all
the horses being covered by white
sheets with red borders. A series of
transparencies told the public the his
tory of the big fire of Beaupre, Keogh
A: Co., and how the firm had so quickly
resumed business. Some bright sen
tences punctuated this story, such as
"Minnesota Air is Very Bracing, You
Know." Creelman, Avery & Co., were
represented by loads of coffee, tea and
spices. On one of the loads a Japanese
sat with a huge umbrella. The turnouts
were variously decorated. Burbank's
transparency was next in line. The
Fleischman yeast turnout was very
unique. J. 11. Roach had a load of con
fectionery on dress parade. The float
of M. F. Kennedy was a very well got
up affair. It was composed of tobog
gans, hunting outfits and deer-heads.
Noyes Bros. ft Cutler had an entire lab
oratory on runners, with long white
beared chemists mixing drugs, and all
the occupants in the uniform of the
Med-a club. William Burkhard's turn
out was also very fine, the float being
made up of buffalo-heads and
sportsman's goods, and two deers, with
magnificent antlers, standing compla
cently upon the float. Cuinmings ft
Fillebrown had four wagon-loads fruit.
The turn-out of Albrecht Bros, wastery
elaborate. A Siberian courier, wrapped
snugly in furs, and holding up a leopard
skin, came first as the guide and fore
runner. A four in hand was attached
to a huge float of furs. A bright galaxy
of ladies was seated around the rig, over
their heads.
A BIG ALLIGATOR
being suspended. A deer stood among
the ladies, and a golden eagle orna
mented the canopy. Mounted postilions
drove the horses. The Snow Flake
baking powder float was a bakers outfit
drawn by a tandem of six horses. Min
iature flags adorned the turnout. The
P. 11. Kelly Mercantile company had a
magnificent illustration of business in
the twelve horse team, four abreast,
and the huge pyramid of chests of tea,
decorated by stars and stripes. Samuel
Bliss had four big loads, heaped up, of
syrup, molasses and groceries. The
Shinah-to club and drum corps fol
lowed, paving the way for the huge
transparency of Finch, Van Slyck <fc
Co., which was filled with boxes of
dry goods ready for shipping, and was
illustrated with pictures of the original
house in 1857. and the present firm's
building. Deppe Bros., Wolterstorff,
Moritz ft Co., and the Detroit Stove
works, all had appropriate exhibits of
stoves and hardware. The float of the
Detroit Stove works represented Cleo
patra's barge, with four Egyptians as
the ancient : oarsmen. It had a
canopy in colors of blue, yellow
and gold, with a gold star on top, and
the horses were covered with white
sheets, and adorned with orange
plumes. The Standard Oil company
had two loads of "eocene" on exhibition,
and the six city delivery oil tanks of the
Globe Oil company were all -in line.
The St. Paul Roller mills advertised its
flour by a float of rollers and milling
machinery and four loads of mill stuffs.
Two equipages and two loads of
flour represented the Lindeke
mills, and a load of millstuffs decorated
with sheaves of golden grain did the
same thing for H. A. Schultz. Then
the wholesale liquor floats came up. Six
horses pulled the Anheuser-Busch
-float and dry people
SMACKED THEIR LIPS.
The postillions were all in blue.
George Benz turned out with a mag
nificent showcase on runners, full of
the substantial of life. Joseph Schlitz
and Chris Stahlman had fine exhibits on
parade also. The thing which attracted
more than usual interest was the float
of the Standard billiard hall. Schaefer
and Carter were playing a game of bill
iards with apparent ease. A magnifi
cent exhibit on runners, made up mostly
of tin of all colors, very pretty in effect,
and carrying a load of employes, all of
whom wore tin masks and tin tiles,
truly comical, was the float of
Adam Decker, while the - Sterling
Stove company turned out with an
ox team and an old rusty stove, the lat
ter smoking, and emphasized by the
motto "The Oldest Stove Foundry in
America, 1788." To contrast nicely with
with this another sleigh followed bear
ing a range, splendid and magnificent.
Frost & Co. followed with stoves; Wall
blom & Thorsel with a load of furniture,
and "Dwight's Soda" with a tandem and
transparency. ....:;
The fourth division, also made up of
the wholesale trade, had its peculiar
features, too, for immediately, behind
Marshal R. C. Hunger's horse came the
fine and very tastefully gotten-up turn
out of Mast, Buford & Burwell. It was
a massive float drawn by a four-in-hand
of dapple grays, and on the float was a
magnificent equipage, something like
the one which took first prize last
Thursday, viz: A dapple gray tour-in
SAINT PAUL, MINN. THURSDAY Hi
hand attached to a victoria sleigh
on bobs, the horses decorated
with white plumes, and . ca
parisoned with silver-mounted English
coach harness, and Russian chimes.
White plumes set off the horses of the
float also. E. M. Hallow ell had a simi
lar float, with an equipage consisting of
white horse and elegant Russian sleigh,
the steed being decked with plumes of
cardinal and turquoise blue. The float
of the Northwest Wagon company con
tained six minstrels
'•THE JACKSON BAND,"
who sang sweet old time quartettes,
sextettes, trios and choruses all the
way. J. H. ■ Scliurmeier's float was a
representation of the wheelwright's
trade. J. H. Mahler's float, drawn by
four horses abreast, bore a horse and
cutter, well warmed with furs, and the
entire outfit decorated with plumes of
rainbow hues. Mast, Buford & Bur
well had two more exhibits, one of an
"old hickory" wagon, the other of agri
cultural implements. Martin's livery
rig was a bay and black pyramid of
three, decorated with plumes of orange,
red, blue and black, attached to
a Portland cutter. For a unique
design D. D. Merrill's "school on bobs"
took the biscuit. It represented the old
and new styles, and a mischievous
'•kid" was up on the roof throwing
snow down the chimney. Garrison &
Co.'s turnout, driven by a polar bear,
represented a Carnival bouncing scene,
brown wrapping paper being used for
the bouncing-blanket, and a dummy in
St. George's costume being the victim.
Whitney's big piano, drawn .by a
tandem of three, attracted much
attention. Holmes' and Dyer's
plumbing exhibits followed, and
then came the stationary engine
(in motion) of Robinson & Cary, the en
gines and pyramids of cocks and valves
of Holland & Thompson, the tinware of
the Barnum works, the iron fences and
furnace castings of the St. Paul foun
dry, the scales and windmills of Fair
banks, Morse & Co., and the big wire
cage of the wire works. Scribners gal
vanized Gambrinus was a very novel as
well as massive affair. Behind Gam
brinus was a colored banjjoist regaling
the crowds with "Dixie." Guthunz &
Rochstroh's white infant casket, and
Averill, Russell & Carpenter's loads of
many tinted wrapping paper completed
this division.
FROM AVfcST ST. PAUL,
The Industries of the Sixth Ward
Showed Up Big.
The fifth division was made up of
West St. Paul exhibits. First came
Paul Martin and his aides, then four
mounted riders clad in the uniforms of
the St. George Snowshoe club. Then
came the old settlers' float drawn by six
horses and loaded down with the old
settlers of West St. Paul. The motto,
"We came before the flood," hung along
the side of the float. Capt. Starkey
looked gorgeous in a linen ulster. The
Crescent creamery came next with four
decorated floats drawn by our
horses each, and a dozen single teams,
all loaded down with the products of
that industry. An old-fashioned "up
and-down" churn was one of the feat
ures of this display.
"Every man is the architect of his
own fortune" was another laughable
thing. Here was represented a man
running a stream of water iuto a milk
can— a solitary cow stood in the middle
of the cart.
The St. Paul Barrel company's float
next came along. On it was a force
of men making barrels and casks.
The Spa bottling works and the
Waterous engine works followed with
specimens of their wares. Three floats
of the American Manufacturing com
pany, bearing derricks and derrick ma
chinery, showed up the heavier manu
factures. Horman & Co. had a very
pretty float filled with elegant fur over
coats, each topped out with a beautiful
buttonhole bouquet. A Japanese
woman, parasol, fan and all, topped
out the fine grocery display
of Bigue & Lovensou. A float finely
upholstered and fitted out with an ele
gant parlor suite, on which about a half
dozen ladies and gentlemen were seated,
represented the business of A. Yolk.
A load of white ice, drawn by twelve
horses in double teams, repre
sented the St. Paul Ice company.
A beautiful sailing yacht, with
canvas spread, bore the name
of J. Dingle, the boat builder. Loads
of lumber, shingles, laths, etc., were
the contributions of B. C. Matteson.
The St. Croix Lumber company, a load
of lumber containing 8,500 feet,
drawn by four horses. A full
dozen teams, with loads of
coal, 6labs, and all kinds of
fuel represented P. B. Doran's wood
and coal yard. Ten beautiful horses
with yellow plumes, mounted by as
many postillions, drew a float of the
Minnesota Ice company. A tandem
team of Shetland ponies, drawing a
miniature house and the sign of Paul
Martin & Co., excited no little admira
tion. The West St. Paul Zither club
next drove along rendering some de
lightful Germain airs.
MEIUtIAM PARK
was represented by two little girls on a
toboggan drawn by a Shetland pony.
Carriages containing the business
men of North St. Paul now made their
appearance, heralding the approach of
that lively little city's representation.
Some elegant furniture, in a float drawn
by four horses, sailed under the name
of the Luger Furniture company.
Brooms and brushes arranged in
the form of a pyramid repre
sented the Minnesota "Broom company.
A fine lot of harness was the contribu
tion of Konantz Bros. The St. Paul
Park Implement company had a string
of carriages in line, while John Zelch,
of Cottage Grove, contributed
twenty Shetland ponies, mounted
by boys and gaily caparisoned.
Three floats containing the employes of
the St. Paul Knitting works excited no
little interest. The young ladies were
all clad in jerseys, knit of various col
ored yarns at the works. The J. L.
Spencer Carriage company had a string
of about twenty carriages, sleighs and
buggies in line. The St. Paul & Duluth
had a gigantic headlight mounted on a
float, behind which was a miniature en
gine and tender.
AND STILL IT CAME.
The Last Divisions of the Greatest
Parade on Earth.
The Seven Corners' band headed
the seventh division. Griggs Bros.,
Meuk Bros., McNamee, Bruggeman,
Twohy Bros, and Bohrer & Smith, all
had appropriate turnouts of grain, pro
duce and groceries. Lauer Bros, had a
big marble slab at which stone
cutters were hard at work and
this float was followed by
the journeymen stone cutters, marching.
Floats with columns of granite marble,
mantels, blocks of red sandstone, and
granite and marble monuments and
headstones were the features of the re
spective enterprises of Ulmer & Smith,
John Nevin, and the St. Paul Marble &
Granite company. A tandem tugged
the Haupt lumber float, and thus ended
the" seventh" division.
- The eighth division, comprising the
retail trade exhibits, was headed by the
Hastings band, in uniforms strawberry,
blue and brick-red. J Finch, Van Slyck
& Co. made a fine showing with the float
of carpets, rugs, portieres and draperies
from the Orient, the . horses neing
blanketed with silky Turkish
rugs, and the postilions being
adorned with immense orange
plumage. Allen & Co. had equally
as fine a turnout of silks and costly duy
goods. Charles Friend's harness float*
was also a neatly gotten up affair.
Smith & Farwell followed with carpets
and furniture. George R. Holmes with
a load of tea, after which came a small
boy in v white, riding a toboggan. A
massive watch on a sleigh advertised J.*
E. Ingham, and Poirler's "broom
factory" men making brooms with
astonishing rapidity, came just ahead of
Franz's butchers' wagon, in which sat
four men, whose faces were cencealed
behind bull-head masks, with vicious
horns. Then came the Golden Rule
camel, which took first prize at the
mardi gras. The Arab sat nobly upon
his unstable seat, and beneath the <
BIG RED SUN-SHADE,
and the men who constituted the
camel's limbs bravely bore their
load. "We'll settle the fisheries
question" asserted Boak's turn
out. A lamb, as lively and meek
as a mature lamb could be, was the
distinguishing thing of C. H. Atkins'
rig, while a pair of Cashmere goats
ornamented Frank Belk's exhibit.
Slater & Riley gave a moving exhibi
tion of shoeing a horse, and George C.
Mitsch had an entire wagon factory on
runners.
The ninth division came next headed
by the Columbia band and C. W. Hor
nick aud aids on horseback. This di
vision represented the real estate board,
the railroads, doctors, printing, insur
ance, newspapers and the architects. •
The real estate float came first, sur
mounted by a pyramid of barrels and a
half -circle sign bearing the words: ■
"REAL, ESTATE RECORD."
The transparencies on each side of
the float gave some interesting statistics.
This was followen by the real estate
men— seventy-five in number—
ing in open order and carrying brooms
decorated with banners and mottoes of
various kinds. A transparency borne
on wheels gave out the startling infor
mation, "No Flies on St. Paul." A
Norman stallion came next, followed
by the St. Paul Dispatch float bearing
square transparencies with statistics, *
The lady students of the Northwest
ern Eclectic college appeared in a four-;
horse 'bus, and were followed by :
mounted men in the costumes of all na
tions. Displays of sausage being ground
out were made by Koehler & Heinrichs,
A. Spangenberg, F. J. Rank, Weyl,*
Brown & Co., Palmer & Pennington,
John T. Peterson and Frank Bulk. F.
W. Luley's elaborate float was trimmed
with orange and red, and contained sev
eral Mongolian passengers. Ehrman
trout exhibited two immense Galloways.
In the tenth division Slater & Riley dis
played a large float containing workmen
making horseshoes, and George Mitsch
one with men making wheels. Michaud-
Bros, exhibited a very handsome float'
with a Turkish canopy. Groceries were r
displayed by Wagner, A. P. Moss, J. R.
Cooper and Twohy Bros. * Peterman's .
Vienna bakery had a float containing a
legnlar bakery. The white-aproned
chaps flung right and left buns and
rolls to the multitude. Philip Peleter.
of Hamline, displayed a very pretty;
representation of a park with graveled
walks, fountain, etc.
A BARBER SHOP.
The Ryan hotel barber shop repre
sentation came first in the eleventh di
vision, followed by the Boeringer 8r05.,!
with a display of huge spectacles and
mathematical instruments. Taylor's
photograph gallery was also repre
sented, and the Cincinnati Shoe-com
pany exhibited an ice palace in the
shape ot an immense boot. The St.'
Paul Boat & Oar works had
two pretty floats on which were beauti
ful boats, each boat containing prettily
dressed children. The street-sprink
ling carts brought up the rear of the
procession, bearing these mottoes. '
"Is street sprinkling a local improve
ment?"
"We think it is."
•-49,417 miles of sprinkling in 1857." .
The twelfth division failed to mate
rialize. ■•- .7
SOME OF THE FINEST.
E. Allen & Co.
Nothing in the entire parade attracted
more attention than the beautiful float
of E. Allen & Co., the dry goods deal
ers, of East Ehird street. Their exhibit
was condensed into one large, magnifi
cent display of fine fabrics, arranged in
the most tasteful manner imaginable. •
Their float was twenty-five feet in ;
length, covered by a canopy of rare
beauty in lace. The goods shown were
principally for evening wear, and were •
accordingly interesting to the feminine
portion of the fashionable spec
tators, whose scrutinizing gaze seldom
misses a point in a show of this kind.
Hardly anything would be passed by.
The minutest details were each and
every one noted and commented upon.
But the great feature of the display
was the thirteen handsome satin and
lace dresses for evening. These ex
cited the greatest admiration, and it is
only fair to say that no other one thing
in the entire parade was more noticed.
Though a comparatively new house in
St. Paul,E. Allen & Co. have placed hem
selves in the front rank of retail dry
goods dealers. Their methods of doing
business are appreciated by the better
class of fashionable people, who
WILE NOT SUFFER IMPOSITION
in this line. A house that has the capi
tal, experience and good taste that this
firm can boast of need not want for pat
ronage in St. Paul. It has been shown,
time and again, that where these
qualities are wanting the patrons
have either not been numerous or were
of an inferior class. In the parade yes
terday were many displays that were
more showy, extensive and varied, but
none that were more comprehensive,
elegant, more costly or more tasteful.
The fabrics were of the finest, and *j
those made up into costumes were cer-'
tainly on a par with the imported, if '.
not superior, in many respects. The* *
firm showed conclusively.that they were- !
equal to any emergency in the fashion
able trade. And in this respect St.
Paul may be considered particularly
fortunate in having such an establish
ment. Being liberal advertisers, they- ;
need no introduction, personally, to the?
public, and it would be superfluous to
say that their display yesterday was
only a mere idea of the extent and gen
eral nature of their business.
Allen, Moon & Co.
Messrs. Allen, Moon & Co., wholesale
grocers, corner of Third and Sibley
streets, had probably the most repre
sentative display in the parade. The
whole display was arranged under the
direction of Mr. C. D. Boyd, who lead
the outfit, seated in a cutter behind an 1
excellent-looking driver. Seated beside v
Mr. Boyd was his English bull dog cov
ered with a blanket bearing the words
"Allen, Moon & Co.'s Star and Crescent
Goods." Next followed four horses
drawing an immense sled loaded with
teas of direct importation. Then an
other four-horse team followed with a '
full load of "direct import" coffees;
then came another four-horse outfit
drawing a heaping load of plug to
baccos, after which came two two
horse sleighs, the first of which was
loaded with tubs, wash-boards, pails,,
etc., and the other loaded with casks of \
prunes all ready for shipment. The dis
play was brought up in the rear by two
of the city pick-up wagons.* Every
horse bore a blanket with the words,"
"Allen, Moon & Co., wholesale gro
cers." The drivers and employes
wore a uniform consisting of blue flan
nel shirt, with collar and red and blue
toque. On each shirt was the "star
>RNING, FEBRUARY 2, 1888.— PAGES.
and crescent," the trademark of Messrs.
Allen, Moon & Co. Mr. Boyd spared no
pains or expense in preparing this dis
play. The cost of the display must
nave been over $500, and the outfit on
the street represented about $25,000 of
the $300,000 stock carried by this firm.
■ I Anheuser-Busch Brewing Co.
t" The display of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Company of St. Louis, Mo.,
was very novel and illustrative of the
extensive business done by this com
pany. The display consisted of, first,
a large float drawn by six horses. On
the float were eight barrels of different
brands of the beer manufactured by the
company. On top of these barrels was
{ilaced one of the company's eight de-
Ivery .wagons, and on the end were a
number of the company's tin signs, rep
resenting four special brands of beer
manufactured by this company, the
"Pale Lager," "Budweiser," "Tony
Faust" and "Erlinger." On each cor
ner of the float was a banner, with the
company's trade-mark and "St. Louis
Standard Beer" in brilliant colors.
There were also a number of the em
ployes on the float, each carrying a long
pole with a large beer glass stuck on
the end. On top of the whole float a
streamer floated", bearing the words,
"America's Largest Favorite Brewery."
The business of this company is rapidly
increasing in St. Paul under the man
agement of Mr. Hatteusauer, whose
Eleasant ways seem to captivate every
ody. - :-;'.;;
The Mast, Buford & Burwell Co.
The Mast, Buford & Burwell com
pany excelled everything seen in St.
Paul, or, perhaps, any other city, as an
illustration of the rapid growth of the
manufacturing interests of the country.
Their display was both novel and hand
some; At the head of their turnout was
a sleigh 112 years old, drawn by a horse
thirty years old, in a harness 100 years
old. The harness was formerly the
property of Alvin Gilpatrick, of Lim
erick, Me., and was sent to Mr. Burwell
especially for this occasion by Frank
Libby, of Limerick. The sleigh was
made in 1770 and was secured through
James R. Hill & Co., of Concord, N. H.
In this ancient outfit sat Mr,
Allen and R. E. Libby, a cousin
of Frank Libby, who represented people
of the last century, who used as a lap
robe a quilt, the property of Mrs. Aaron
N. Bradbury, of Limerick, Me., which
was woven by Mrs. Chase, mother of
Mrs. Bradbury, in 1810. Following
this ancient outfit was an exhibit of the
present century— a handsome float,
drawn by four horses, on which was one
of the most handsome turnouts ever
seen in St. Paul. The turnout was
made up of one of the celebrated Vic
toria shells on bobs, attached to which
was a pair of - dapple grey horses har
; nessed with an English coach harness,
: with russet collars and housings. This
is the turnout which took first prize at
the equipage display last week. Mr.
Burwell and Mr. Warner were seated
in the "Victoria shell," and, covered
with elegant robes, they looked "just
too nice for anything." Besidese these
ancient and novel outfits the Mast, Bu
ford & Burwell company showed two
other floats on which were Buckeye
seeders, King B harrows, Buckeye
pumps, cider mills, scientific feed mills,
Rock Island plows, Diamond pony mills
and a number of others of the articles
' they handle and manufacture. The
whole display was > decorated . with
plumes, banners, streamers, etc., man
ufactured by the company. Another
feature of their display was a sample of
their Waterloo side-spring, side-bar
buggy and the Old Hickory wagon
both of wnich are -handled by the Mast,
Buford & Burwell company.
Waterous Engine Works Co.
; The display of the Waterous Engine
Works C0.,0f South St. Paul, is another
illustration of the growth of new indus
tries and manufactories in St. Paul.
This company exhibited a steam fire en
gine made especially for volunteer fire
brigades, to be used in small towns and
villages. The South St. Paul works are
a branch of the Waterous Engine
Works Co. of Brantford, Canada,
probably the largest engine manufact
urers in Canada. The branch in St.
Paul was established about a year ago,
and is managed by Messrs. Frank and
Fred Waterous. They are making a
specialty of the manufacture of steam
fire engines and fire apparatus. This is
the only manufactory of these articles
in the Northwest. The well known en
terprise and ability of the Waterous En
gine Co. is a guaranty that every article
they manufacture is of the best quality,
and no doubt this branch of their busi
ness will soon become one of the largest
industries in St. Paul.
Weyl, Brown & Dyer.
Messrs. Weyl, Brown & Dyer, whole
sale butchers, 280 East Third street,
made a splendid showing of all kinds of
meats. They had a large float on which
were displayed four cattle,ten sheep and
ten lambs, dressed by Swift & Co., of
Kansas City, Mo., the best known dress
ers in the United States also two cat
tle, two hogs, five sheep and five lambs,
dressed by themselves. The cattle aver
aged 900 pounds dressed. The whole
display was of a superior quality, and
shows what kind of meat St. Paul epi
cures eat. Either side of the immense
float was decorated with dressed ox
heads, the work on which was equal to
any ever seen. The different quarters
of beef and sides of mutton, lamb, etc..
were labeled with the names of retail
butchers who had purchased some of
the choice selection.
Koehler & Hinrichs.
"■■' Messrs. Koehler & Hinrichs, manu
facturers of and dealers in butchers' and
packers' supplies, casings, etc., of 53
West Third street, exhibited a kerosene
'Oil engine known as The Acme Auto
matic Safety Kerosene-Burning Steam
Engine, which is the most perfect thing
of the kind in the market. The engine
was in full blast, running a Smith's im
roved chopper and mixer combined,
These choppers save the labor of a man
stirring the meat while chopping, and
also the time and labor of mixing after
chopping. Messrs. Koehler & Hinrichs
are agents for both the Acme engine
and the Smith chopper and mixer.
They also handle all kinds of butchers'
tools and machinery. They are an en
terprising fipm, and will do well in this
country.
•I- —
De Cou & Co.
I The turnout of De Cou & Co., North
Star Seed store— Paul Wire works
was a most noticeable feature of the
parade. One sleigh was made entirely
of wire.. The display embraced every
thing that can be manufactured of wire,
including a great variety of flower
stands, bird Cages and baskets.
?| " J. A. McAuley.
g? J. A. McAuley, of 515 Robert street,
was one of -the purchasers of some of
the above, choice meats, and his many
customers will all agree that Me always
gets the best iv the market to supply his
.tirade. ; ; v. ,, yy
yy J. H. Mahler Company.
The J. H. Mahler Company had an
elegant and "attractive display. Oh one
■ large float drawn by 7 four horses was a
Daisy buggy, about twenty of the em
ployes and the "Daisy Buggy" quar
tette. The float was elegantly trimmed
with furs of . all kinds and decorated
with flags and banners. Following the
float came a Russian cutter, a Bayley
speeding cutter, a Canadian cutter and
other samples of the vehicles handled
by this company. In the rear, drawn
by- a splendid pair of drivers, were
Messrs. Mahler and Schofield, who
added tone to the already magnificent
turnout. The singing of the Daisy
Buggy quartette drew lots of applause
from the crowds who lined the streets,
and many strangers will go home with
the sound of the Mahler Co.'s Daisy
Buggy quartette ringing in their ears.
Samuel Bliss.
Samuel Bliss, of St. Paul, Chicago,
Kansas City and Rockford, manufactur
er and dealer in all kinds of syrups,
maples, sugars and can goods, made a
magnificent industrial display. They
had four floats, each drawn by four
horses. On the first float was a car load
of crude molasses, the second was made
up of barrels of syrups of different
brands, the third a sleigh load of pre
serves, jams, jellies, etc., and the fourth
a car load of smaller packages for re
tail dealers. The St. Paul branch of
this business was established two and a
half years ago at 403 and 405 Sibley
street, and under the management of O.
S. Musser. This branch of Mr.
Bliss's extensive business did a trade of
nearly half a million dollars last year
and their goods are known from San
Francisco to the farthest eastern points.
The premises at 403 and 405 Sibley
street are 50x125 feet and tour stories
high.
Fairbanks, Morse & Co.
Messrs. Fairbanks, Morse & Co. gave
a representation of the advancement in
their business in ten years. Their dis
play consisted of two floats, the first of
which was made up of small scales and
coffee mills, and over the top of which
was the firm name and the figures 1878.
The second float was much larger and
contained a large display, illustrative of
the extensive business done now. On
the top of this float was also the firm
name and the figures 1888. Both floats
were handsomely decorated and carried
flags of all nations. Messrs. Fairbanks,
Morse & Co.'s premises are at 371 and
373 Sibley street. They are now manu
facturing all kinds of scales, wind-mills,
railway supplies and pumps. Mr.Wood
ward, manager, and other employes fol
lowed the floats in sleighs.
St. Paul Roofing & Cornice Co.
The St. Paul Roofing & Cornice com
pany, of which Messrs. Lefebvre &
Deslauriers are proprietors, made a
great display of the work that can be
done with tin and galvanized iron.
Their float was all made of galvanized
iron, and represented King Gambrinus.
The king was represented sitting on a
barrel of beer holding in one hand a
huge schooner of the sparkling bever
age. The workmanship on this float
was some of the finest in the land, all
sorts of flowers, fruits, etc., being
wrought in the zinc most naturally. At
the back of the float was seated a negro
minstrel, who sang sweet songs for the
entertainment of" the crowd. The
oflice of the St. Paul Hoofing & Cornice
company is on the corner of Sixth and
VVakouta streets. They are a reliable
firm and do good work.
St. Paul Roller Mill Company. .
The St. Paul Roller Mill company,
Kingsland Smith manager, ; had an Ex
hibit of their flour which attracted much
attention. They had three sleds, the
first of which was loaded from the. ma
chinery department with iron and por
tions ot roller mills, a complete roller,
pairs of chilled iron rollers for grinding
wheat, and porcelain rollers for grind
ing middlings. Also, a conveyer and
elevator and silk bolting cloth, used in
sifting flour. The second sleigh was
devoted exclusively to the display of
"Orange Blossom" flour, a tasty display
made in handsome cotton sacks, the
sleigh being surrounded with sighs di
recting attention to use the celebrated
"Orange Blossom" flour. The other
sleigh was filled with paper sacks, of
"Orange Blossom" graham. These
sacks, being lithographed in several
colors, produced a handsome effect and
were a fit package to contain what the
manufacturers claim to be the choicest
graham flour in the country. The mill
is on Third street west, near Bridge
square. The St. Paul Roller Mill com
pany was the first to adopt the roller
process in this city.
Boak & Co.
Messrs. Boak & Ce., wholesale dealers
in fish, game and poultry, of East
Third street, made a good display.
Although the display was. made up of
fish, it was not fishy at all. They had
two sleighs in the parade. The first was
loaded with barrels of trout, whitefish,
and all kinds of ocean and lake fish.
The second was an artistically arranged
display of herring. Messrs. Boak &
Co. do an extensive business in this
city, and have a branch house at 17
High street, Minneapolis. They handle
all kinds of fish, game, poultry, etc.,
from the smallest little shrimp up to
the big moose of the Northwest. Their
business is increasing rapidly, and they
deserve it, for they are a pushing and
straightforward firm. : ; y- -
Fred J. Rank.
Fred J. Rank, of the Cash Meat mar
ket, 629 Mississippi street, gave an ex
hibit of the excellent meats, poultry,
game, etc., which he sells entirely on
the cash system. On the top of his
float in large letters were the words,
"Cash Meat Market." The cash sys
tem enables Mr. Rank to buy and sell
cheaper ; than those who do a credit
business, and consequently since he
adopted it his business is increasing
very rapidly. He sells the choicest of
all kinds of meat, game, poultry, etc.
Erin an trout Bros.
The Ermanntrout Bros., butchers, of
43S Broadway, had three sleighs in the
parade, led by Master Ermanntrout in a
cutter. The first sleigh was drawn by
four horses and contained a Polled
Angus tliree-year-old steer, weighing
over 2,000 pounds. The second was sim
ilar to the first, and carried a Polled
Angus three-year-old steer weighing
2,200 pounds. The third was loaded
with pails of lard, poultry, hams, etc.,
the ' whole outfit being decorated in
splendid style. The sample of steers in
this exhibit shows the quality of meat
these gentlemen handle, and the display
made will no doubt convince the jealous
Easterners that we can raise good stock
in the Northwest.
J. J. Bicbtghauser.
A man that can show more enterprise
to the square inch than J. J. Biebig
hauser, whose place is at East Seventh
and Locust, 'has a large summer job on
his hands. This gentleman— firm,
rather— a float in the great parade
that was at once unique, comprehensive
and effective. It consisted of a large
float, handsomely decorated with a big
horseshoe, under which was a magnifi
cent Sterling heating stove, with every
modern improvement, and all but auto
matic. Its silvery surfaces glistened In
the bright afternoon sun, and attracted
its goodly share of the general atten
tion. Following it was an old style sled
drawn by oxen, containing two or three
very dilapidated, stoves bearing the
words "Sterling Stove Co. in 1*788."
The new "Sterling" on the float in front

The Interesting Story of the
Young Couple's Love— To
Boom St. Paul.
Under the glare of several hundred
electric lights and amid the joyous ac
claims of thousands of interested spec
tators a young couple stood upon a car
peted platform in the grand court of
the ice palace last evening to plight
their vows in holy wedlock. This feat-
ure of the Carnival had been looked
forward to with great eagerness by res
idents of St. Paul and visitors alike,
and although 8:30 was the time fixed
for the ceremony, long before that time
crowds began to flock into the great
court of the domain of Borealis. Old
ladies and young ladies jostled each
other, intent solely upon obtaining good
positions near the platform, while out
side the palace wails a surging multi
tude of the male persuasion elbowed,
squeezed and jammed one another with
the same object in view.
"Instead of the conventional ushers in
regulation black suits, white neckties,
snowy expanse of pleated shirt front
and kid gloves, half a dozen stalwart
mounted policemen resplendent in blue
uniforms, adorned with brass buttons
and wearing helmets as headgear, at
tended to the duty usually performed
by society young men at church wed
dings.
There were no seats for spectators of
the novel affair, but all who" wished it
enjoyed the privilege of standing in the
open air for an hour or so and being
hurried hither and i thither by the
minions of the law, who had been |
charged to keep the courtyard clear for j
those holding invitations to the wed
ding. y : y-r

feet to the delicate wooden shaft al- j
though repeatedly ordered down by the I
Eolice and anxious parents. But the
oys wanted to see all that was going
on and they were not afraid of a tumble
and persisted in evading the wishes of
the more cautious of the assemblage.
They made things merry, too, during
the long wait with their ceaseless chat
ter and chaffing of nervous spectators,
and "Eli" and "Kid" seemed to be fa
vorite expressions of the daring young
wedding guests.
To enumerate all who were present
would require a reprinting of the city
directory, but there was an absence of
the elaborate toilets usually visible at
matrimonial events inside a sacred edi
fice.

and covering of the same material for
the ears and faces of the assemblage
were conspicuous, and gavly attired to
bogganers and snowshoers added to the
{icturesqucness of the brilliant scene. •
It was remarkable, too, to note how
many elderly ladies braved the danger !
of contracting pneumonia or a grave I
yard cough in their desire to. witness )
the marriage, and they bore good hu- j
moredly the discomforts of their situa- j
tion, imbued only with a desire to say ;
that they were present on the happy oc- j
casion.
Numerous cries of "There they come" j
made the welkin ring ere a long I
procession of Carnival clubs, acting as
an escort for the happy pair, made its
appearance, flanking carnages contain
ing the minister who was to tie the
nuptial knot and relatives of the con
tracting parties.
By dint of persuasion and sallies by
the mounted ushers a passageway was
cleared to admit the bridal procession,
and a brass band added to the novelty
of the wedding ceremony, all the mu
sicians being out of breath when they
halted in front of the carpeted dias.
Rev. Samuel G. Smith had preceded the
young couple, and removing his hat
donned a small black silk traveling cap,
wrapped his heavy fur coat closer about
him, and prepared for the ordeal.

Evans passed slowly through the double
lines of friends in the Carnival clubs,
and, notwithstanding the fact that they
were the cynosure of so many curious
eyes, walked unhesitatingly to the plat*
form, where the minister cordially
greeted them. It was not long after
their arrival before the words were
uttered which pledged them to stand by
each other until death parted, for better
or for worse, the responses being made
by the bride and groom so as to be audi
ble to all within the court yard's pre
cincts.
As the minister concluded the beauti
ful and impressive ceremony the crowd
broke out into a joyous cheer, and no
wedding march was ever more beauti
fully chanted than the one which ac
companied Mr. and Mrs. Brown to their
carriage, inside the Ice Palace of St.
Paul.
A BIT OP HISTOnr.
In a pleasant house on East Sixth
street, resides the young woman who
last night put her marriage vows on ice.
Talk about woman's inborn lack of in
vention ! Whatman would ever have
devised such a scheme of protection
against divorce courts. It was not
solely with this object In view, however,
that the marriage of Miss Eva N. Ev
ans and George F. Brown was given
over to the management of the < nival
association. It was done fully as much,
If not more, to boom the town, and if
St. Paul real estate dealers do not make
Mrs. Brown their patron saint, it will
be because they are utterly incapable of
gratitude. Eva and George fell in love
with each other at first sight— George's
mother-in-law said it herself. They
have been Cengaged for a year
now, but they were not intending
to be married until next March. Mrs.
Evans and Eva got to talking the matter
over one evening, and Mrs. Evans said
the wedding should fake place in church.
But Eva declared she wasn't going to
march up a church aisle with everybody'
staring at her— what really modest girt
would, pray, when the sweet sacredness
of the Ice Palace is available ! She said
she would drive to the minister's and be
married at his house. Mrs. Evans
thought she would like to see a daugh
ter of hers do it. The bare idea! "Just
like any country Jake," said she; "you'd
better get married in the Ice Palace."
"1 only meant it for a joke," explained
Mrs. Evans; "but the notion struck Eva
and she and George, without a word to
anybody, sent a letter to the Carnival
association, to see if it could be done, i I
did not know anything about it
till the answer came. Of course
I was surprised, but I'd often
said to Will— my husband— l did
wish we could do something to help the
Carnival along. It seemed as if we
ought to, and that's what George and
Eva thought, too. If they could boom
the town in any way, they felt it was
their duty to do it." Thus is the sacred
ness of
THE MARRIAGE CBMMV
sacrificed on the altar of St. Paul enter
prise !
The Evans family belong to the First
Baptist church, and Mrs. Evans feared
Dr. Mabie, the pastor, would feel hurt,
not having been asked to offer the sacri
fice. "I wanted him," said she, "but
Eva didn't. Dr. Mabie is opposed to
Carnivals and all that, you know: and
S. G. Smith isn't. Eva said. Smith is
the people's man. my wedding is going
to be the people's wedding, so Smith is
the man for me.' " ■ .
It will come hard on George in later
days, if Eva reminds him that she mar
ried him for the sake of humanity,
rather than his own dear sake.
President Cleveland did not respond
to his invitation, which was the first one
sent out; but Mrs. Evans and Eva are
determined not to get mad at rover if
he didn't. "Of course, he might have
been out of town when it was received
and never so much as have a chance to
see it. You can't tell, you know. They
are so careless about such thing- at the
White house."
If Tli over could know how beautiful
the bride was, he would be sorry
he failed to put in an appearance.
Owing to the crowd that attended the
ceremony many were prevented from
seeing her clearly. The picture in the
Globe is excellent, and the position
she and George occupy, according to
the batter's mother-in-law, is typical of
:-" -J* -". ■
'lie path on which they have started.
Just where the downward course of
matrimony, traveled on a toboggan,
leads. it takes some other ♦experienced
person to Imagine.
THE BKIDE'S DRESS.
Eva was elegantly attired in white
moire and satin, trimmed with lace.
The dress was covered by a long coat of
corduroy, bordered with swan's down.
A white velvet bonnet, trimmed with
ostrich tips, completed a bridal costume
as unique as the affair it graced. Eva's
maid of honor, her sister Ida, a pretty
miss of sixteen, wore a suit, the waist
of which was of white moire, skirt of
corduroy, and a jacket of eider down,
edged with swan's down, her piquant
face set off by a jaunty Tarn O'Shanter
cap, trimmed with Nile green ribbon
loops. Mrs. Brown's wedding out
fit is entirely the work of her own head
and hands. A woman with the ingenu
ity she gives evidence of Is a treasure
any man might thank his stars to pos
sess. She affords him grounds for the
belief that the day will come when ho
can retire from active business and live
by the sweat of his wife's brow. The
pair have gone home taiday with Eva's
pa, until the house Mr. Brown Is build
ing Is completed. Eve, our common ma,
Nina Van Zandt and Eva Evans will go
down to posterity, original brides, each
after her fashion. Eve, first in the Gar
den of Eden; Nina, first in the hearts
of the anarchists: Eva, first in the lee
palace and the hearts of St. Paul boom*'
ers.
TO MR. BROWN.
[For the Globe.]
O. Mr. Brown, Is it quite fair,
While other groom are flushed aud bar
ried.
That you should break the rule and be
So very cool when are married?
I could not see your trembling bride,
And so outside I patient waited,
But when she blushed the palace was
With rosy hue illuminated.
Now let the ley palace melt,
And turn the sintering lights down;
Let suns arise, and all the earth.
Like this fair bride, be turned to Brown.
