2 SAINTLY CITY DOINGS. 'Hon. P. H. Kelly Suggests a Carnival Parade When Pres ident Cleveland Comes. Nominations For the Races to Be Held During" the State Fair. Many Suits to Settle the Question of What Are Swamp Lands. The Oyster is Abroad in The Land Once More—Local Notes. WHEN CLEVELAND COMES. Hon. P. H. Kelly's Ideas of the Re ception to the President and "Wife. "On the occasion of the president's visit to St. Paul."' said Hon. P. 11. Kelly to a representative of the Globe yester day, "l trust all our people will unite in showing him the honors and courtesy due him as the first citizen of this coun try, and that there will be an absence of* any sectional feeling what ever, but everything that can re dound to the 'credit ot St. Paul should be conduced harmoniously and with an eye single to making his visit here memorable in our annals, lt is likely that the subject will be broached at the meeting of the chamber of com merce next Monday, and when all our representative citizens are assembled a plan will be formulated to accord a proper reception to our distinguished guest. ••President Cleveland will leavc|Madi son, Wis., for St. Paul Sunday after noon. Oct... and arrive in this city the following day, and he will remain here until noon lTuesday, when he will leave for Minneapolis. My idea, which is of course only in the nature of a sug *C*ession,is to have the various uniformed organizations of carnival clubs and Other civic societies meet the presiden tial party at the union depot and escort them to their . hotel. After giving them time to recover from the fatigue incident to their long ride, then let a procession be formed to es cort the party through the principal streets of St. Paul, a carriage containing the President ami Mrs. Cleveland, and drawn by six horses each led by a groom in livery, being the only conveyance in the line of procession, and in this way a most creditable display can be made. Of course the military from Fort Snell ing and the various militia companies of this section will be invited to partici pate, and mark my words for it, the president will always have just CAUSE TO REMEMBER the manner in which he was entertained by the people of St. Paul. This might be done in the evening, say about.» o'clock, and over the line of march there might be a universal illumination of private and business houses, and those who cannot afford such an expense will be attended to by a proper committee. •'There are upwards of 5,000 members of the various carnival clubs, ahd their . parade would be a feature equally as imposing as during carnival times, and besides it would be a novelty that no oilier city that is to entertain the presi dent could present. What Aye want to do is to go into this matter in earnest and with a desire to do credit not only . to ourselves, but to the city of which we I are all so proud, and allow no party feeling.. to hamper us, but render f a fitting-tribute to the president ; of the United States, who has come such : a long distance to visit.us. With this idea paramount I think 1 am safe in predicting that St. Paul will carry the banner as a royal entertainer, and in after years the president and his wife will be glad that they accepted our invi tation, for we gave them an event which will be a red letter one in their lives." Naturally there will be a great num ber of people attracted to the city to see the president, and a public recep tion at the hotel will probably be ar ranged for Tuesday—say from 10 o'clock until noon—and in this manner hun dreds of people will have the opportun ity of being presented to Mr. and Mrs.* Cleveland. No plan has ever been dis cussed, but 1 merely throw out these suggestions for our people to think over, with a view to the preparation of some thing more tangible and creditable. It is not in any sense to be made a political matter, but one in which the men of all politics and their families can unite in doing honor to the president of the • "United States and his charming bride. FOR RACES AT THE FAIR. Nominations Received of Many Noted Horses—Other Depart ments. Preparations for the state fair are going on in good earnest. The machin ery building is now ready for its first coat of paint, and will be completed probably before the week is over. The ■ new judge's stand is a handsome build ing, sixteen feet square, and looks like a pagoda, with three floors. There is no doubt that the horse department and races will be as good as any in the conn" try. Fred C. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, B. D. Woodmansee, of Anoka, brother of Dan Woodmansee, and M. T, ('rattan of Isinours. have been selected as the judges. Forty of the best horses in the country are expected to compete on the -great stake races for the $2,500 purses. . The entries now in number more than 200, and a large • number of horses were named yester day. Some of the famous drivers who • are expected are Budd Doble, W. H McCarthy, John Splan, Frank Van Ness, A. it. Coates, Ben Stanley! S. L. , Cat-on, John Doud, P. Johnson and .W. Bair.

The state of Minnesota seems about entering upon a lengthy contest,or rather series of contests.Avith the national gov ernment over the selection of swamp lands. In 1800 the then commissioner of the general land office, Hon. "Joseph Wilson, submitted two propositions in regard to the matter, as follows: ''First, whether the state would be willing to abide by the field notes of the surveys as designating the land, or, second, whether in the event of the non-accept ance of these notes as the basis, the state would furnish evidence that any lands are of the character embraced in the grant-" The state, acting on the advice of the commissioner, and to save what would have been a very great expense, ac cepted the first proposition. People are now filing on these lauds, claiming that they are not swamp lands, and the de partment under late rulings orders a hearing in all such cases at the land of fice of that district to determine the real character of the lands. It is now thought likely that the department will hold that in all cases where the lands are arable they arc not properly swamp lands, and hence do not properly belong to the state. 1 ..Iv The state, on the contrary, and with good reason, as officials think, claims that by the proposition of ISOO, made by the general government and agreed to by the state,the government is estopped from. claiming any lands that ap peared to be swamp lands from the sur veyor's notes. More than fifty cases of this kind are now pending, and they are coming in at the rate of three or four a week right along. Many of them are in the mining country around Duluth, and it is of great importance to the state that the terms of the old compact be carried out. The contest will not be confined to the swamp lands alone it seems, for under recent rulings of the. department the government holds that where . double minimum school lands were selected they cannot be held, and many are filing ■ upon such lands.' OYSTERS ON DECK. The. First Month When Popular Superstition Tolerates the Bi valves. "R there," said the oyster. D"Stay there," said the man, as he swallowed the last of "a dozen raw," on Sept. 1. ; " :';; "'-;' ',' '■\ -/ Sept. 1 was yesterday, and as it was the first mouth that had showed up since last May armed with an It, a . general alarm was turned in and the succulent bivalves thrown to the hungry public, who Wednesday looked ,on the oyster with well , developed suspicion,. but Thursday tossed the quivering molusk down his eager neck with great gusto and a three-pronged fork. .Yesterday all St." Paul restaurants paraded the oyster stew on their bills of fare with a boldness awful to behold, and brought forth the following dialogue between two citizens who had seated themselves at i a table lin a down-town restaurant and were fishing around a smoking stew with a plated spoon:. "John, why do they call this an oyster stew?" • ■■■■! -..- r.- .-•_ "1 knock under; I never was worth a nickel to guess a conundrum.*' "Because there's tew oysters in each bowl." :-;■-".

Eastern folks, who live -where the spray of the Atlantic drips through their whiskers, get the impression that Minnesotaiis when they want oysters must eat that delicious article made of cork known as the cove oyster, but in this they are mistaken. Thirty-six hours after an oyster is fished out of the waters of Chesapeake bay it can lie laid under the nose of a citizen of St. Paul as fresh and sweet as when it was taken out of the ocean. The lightning ex press has brought the oysters and the St. Paul citizen into such close relation ship that their hearts beat as one, and after arriving here the - bivalve has enough life left to feel its way carefully down the narrowest throat. • HUNTING A PHYSICIAN. Troubles of a Young Man Who Wanted a Doctor at Once. Last night about 7:30 o'clock a young man with a pale, anxious 'face and nervous hand stepped into • the drug store at the corner of Broadway and Ninth street, and going up to the tele phone rang for the central office. A prompt response was made, and the young man said: "Please give me Dr. A——'s resi dence." "They don't answer," came back over the wire. "Please give me Dr. 13 's resi dence." "Here they are, go ahead." - "Is Dr. B at home?" "No, he's at White Bear shooting." "Central." "Hello." "Give me Dr. A 's office." "They don't answer." "Connect me with Dr. B—'s office, please." "Do you know who you want?" "It don't make any difference whether I do or not, I want that connection." A muttered epithet comes back from the central office followed by a gruff "they don't answer," and an abrupt closing of the circuit. Paler than before the young man left the 'photic and ran down Seventh street to Jackson where he sprang into a hack and ordered the driver to go to Dr. C— office as soon as possible. The doctor's office was reached and nobody was there. 'Die driver was next ordered to rush to Dr. It— office. He rushed anil the office boy said the doctor was out near Benson, hunting. Go to Dr. P— office yelled the pale young man, now nearly crazy. Dr. P—'s office was reached and the boy there said the doctor had just gone down on the street. After a care ful search the doctor was found and tossing him into the carriage the young man soon reached his residence which he had left nearly an hour before, when his wife was taken suddenly and seri ously ill. - Cv-f^l/-- ■'-- -'j;~ "There ought to be a law compelling physicians to be at their offices during the hours that they claim to be there," said a citizen yesterday. "They nearly all publish evening office hours from 7 to 8:30, and when you go for them you'll find the office closed and the next day they'll tell you that they're never at the office in the evening. Of course nearly every family has its favorite physician, and if any member of the family is taken suddenly ill and you can't find him where he advertises to be and call some other physician, he gets red headed and calmly intimates that you've no business to get another doctor. They're an independent crowd." A CHILLY AUGUST. . Summary of the Weather of the Last Month. Observer Lyons, of the United States signal office, says in his report on the weather for August just past: The most noteworthy things about last month's weather at this place were the dicided deficiency in temperature; no extremes or rapid fluctuations of the barometer, the natural consequence of which was a moderate wind movement, there being a total of only 30.73 miles. There was but one i'gale." It was on the 3d and blew from the west at a speed of 29 miles an hour. The rainfall was slightbelow average. There were fourteen days on which .01 of an inch or more of rain fell. There were but three clear days, while there were fifteen fair and thirteen cloudy ones. The average August temperature for this vicinity is 69.5 o ; the mean for last month is 00 o. With the exception of August,' 1885, the one in question was the coldest since 1870. It was 4o colder than the same month last year. The warmest one for the period named was 1881, and the coolest that of 1885; the mean tem perature being 73"-' and 65 ° respect ively. The total rainfall was 3.37 inches. The average is 3.59 inches. The wettest August since 1870 was in 1875 and the dryest in .1883. Thunder storms were had on the 2d, Dili, 10th. 17th and 31st. The temperature went above 90° on two days; the highest.was 93.5° on the Bth and the lowest 41.1 on the 25th. Temperature and rainfall. The mean temperature of the summer season just ended was 09.4°, that- just equals the average for the past sixteen years. The total rainfall for that time was 10.15 inches. Tbe average is 11.70 inches. - BUSINESS IS GOOD. . Aid. Conley Sizes Up the Real Es tate Market by His Box Re ceipts. "Is business as good with you now as it was one year ago?" asked a Globe reporter of Aid. Conley, of the Olympic, yesterday. "Better," he replied, "business has been twice as good the past week as it was the corresponding week last year." "What does that indicate, more peo ple in St. Paul or more money in the pockets of the people?" *& y "~**, --"It indicates," said' the alderman, re moving his cigar from between his lips, "it indicates that the people are not put ting so much money into real estate as they were last season. Then every fel low who had $25 in his inside pocket was buying an option on a lot or block, or some broad acres. He isn't doing it now. It's pretty quiet in real estate cir cles. I don't think we're going to have anything like a real estate boom this fall, though a good many look for it. if a fellow . waits till next December or January he can pick up some bargains in real estate that in the spring will pay a big profit, and that what the great majority of people who have got only a little capital are laying for." - IN THE COURTS. A Suit Over the Hendricks School Contract—Court Notes. Testimony in the controversy between George H. "Fletcher and the Bonn Man facturing company is now being taken before Referee ilillman. The case arose out of the building of the Hen-: dricks school in West St. Paul, a year ago. Fletcher claims he had the con tract, and the Bonn company was to furnish the material. He was to re ceive 83 per day and half the profits, in consideration of the Bohn company going upon his bond, and the company was to furnish him the material at the lowest figure. .He gave " the. Bolui com pany power of attorney, he says, to do his accounting, and now he alleges that there is a little overs2,ooo due him In the accounts. The company on-the other hand contends that Fletcher is indebted to them. - Another suit ■ has arisen out of the falling of the Johnson saloon, No. 371 Broadway, which occurred last June. Johnson rented the building of David J.„.Hennesey. Both "Johnson and 11.-n --nesey. are defendants in suit for dam ages brought by \ the -. administrator .of the man who was killed, and now John son has brought anaction lor $1,000 damages against the city and Mr." Hen nesey. He claims. that .when the city! graded Broadway above the grade of. the property it did not put up retaining walls, .and. the { falling of the building was therefore'largely due to that negli gence. . -. • , ..

When the regular calendar had been disposed of in the police court yester day morning, Clerk Ahem called the case of William Lynch, charged with attempting to outrage Mrs. Kinehardt, alias Emma Brown, a prostitute re cently released from the Stillwater pen itentiary. The case was not on the docket, but was. called at the request of Prosecuting Attorney Egan, who moved -the discharge of the prisoner. Judge Egan said he would not assist in the prosecution of Lynch. owing to the dis reputable character of the woman who swore out the complaint. Judge Cory took the same view of the case and dis cearged Lynch, The woman had been brought into court by direction of Judge Egan and the Globe's expose of her real identity was fully confirmed. When she saw her game was blocked she sneaked out quietly under the es cort of,Rinehardt. New Corporations.

Sarlet fever had twenty victims. The annual death rate for the month was 14.72. • The Melrose School Trouble. The Melrose school trouble turned up at the capitol yesterday, and is now be fore the attorney general. It seems that quite a number of people in that district submitted the matter tb At torney Bruckert, of St. Cloud, for an opinion. Mr. Bruckert holds that in his opinion votes or ballots on ".ruled paper were illegal; but that it is*.ln the' power of the district school meeting: to * determine the way of voting, and that the election law of ISS7 has no applica tion. He also adds that in his opinion a quo warranto proceeding would not reach the case. The county superintendent then sent the opinion to Supt. Kiehle and requested liim to refer it to Attorney General Clapp. The, attorney general .being absenl-r-his'' .assistant, Mr. Childs, agreed witmSupt.' Kiehle, that ,the opinion Attorney' Bruckert is correct. This, however, is' not official. - '■ ' *. Looking for Grizzly ears. • \ Gen. R. B. Marcy, TJ. S.

VACATION IS ENDED. The City Schools Will Open Their Doors on Monday of Next Week, When an Enrollment of Fif teen Thousand Pupils is Expected. Additions and Improvements in Many of the Old School Buildings. - Some Changes in the Courses of Study—Looking- Out For Health. NEARLY SCHOOL TIME. Pupils to Answer the Bell for the Fall Term Next Monday. The budding youth and the gleeful maiden and the small bOys that play marbles lay aside their summer play things next week, for the long summer vacation is about over, and on Monday begins the next school term. All pub lic schools will open then, and the pre cocious pupil, hard to handle, will be seated again in the straight-backed com bination seat and desk, and will spend a few hours each day in persuing the pre scribed text books, playing practical jokes, and submitting to class lessons, and getting marked up and down. The ordinary boy doesn't like to be trained, and a season of hard decipline is not very inviting after a delightful period of relaxation. The school facilities this year are ex-, cellent, although the twenty-seven school buildings now in operation may. be somewhat crowded, but probably all the new schools will be ready before the close of the year. A talk with Supt. Taylor discloses the fact that the present aggregate school capacity of the city is 15,000 pupils. Last; year there was an enrollment of about 12,500, being an in crease of 2,000 over the year before. On the basis of that increase, allowing 2,500 for this year, he estimates that the en rollment for this term will be nearly, if not quite, 15,000. • : Additions to present school buildings are being put up as follows: - v -..,•; Van Buren" six rooms; Cleveland, six rooms; Jefferson, six rooms; Gorman, four rooms. - , . '-*->'.','. Supt. Taylor anticipates that the Cleveland and Gorman school additions will be ready about Oct. 1, and those of the Van Buren and Jefferson schools about Christmas. New schools are go ing up at Macalester Park, four rooms; llamline,eightrooms; St. Anthony Park north, four rooms; Como, eight rooms, and one on Mississippi street north of four rooms. 'z"..~,■.:\i\'.i'[:-\:\~::.:.-:'r'-} TWO MORE SCHOOLS PROPOSED. These will accommodate the present suburban needs, and Mr. Taylor thinks they will be ready about the end of the present term, or soon after. Then there are two more proposed school buildings, one to be an outlet of the Madison and Jefferson schools, the other, an eighteen or twenty-four room building, to take the place of the Humboldt school on the West side. Work upon them will com mence next year. ,;s.'-. "These new buildings and these new additions," says Mr. Taylor, "ought to accommodate the school needs of this city for the next five years." The number of teachers to be em ployed is 300. The increase of enroll ment and school accommodations has been so great that the superintendents of drawing and penmanship each asks for an assistant, this being the first year that such a request has been made. 1 - The capacity of the High -school will be tested to its utmost the coming term, for the enrollment is expected to reach 550, or* even 575, scholars. A twelve room addition is now going up, work upon the excavation for the foundation and basement having been commenced. It is to equal the present structure in beauty and style of architecture. The basement of the addition will be fitted up for the manual training de partment, which will begin at the com mencement of the new year, under the supervision of Mr. Bennett, a graduate of the Worcester, Mass., school of tech nology. At first the school of manual training will be for the benefit of the male scholars of the High school.that is, of those who desire to take advantage of it; and if it works satisfactorily pupils from the Grammar schools will then be admitted. '*.*■■ v-fv" . In the High school this term English composition will take the place of gram mar, the study of grammar being com pleted in the district schools. In the English department the study of biology will be taken up. These are the only innovations. :-:.'1:,.'.-• SANITATION AND CLEANLINESS." The general sanitary condition, as re gards ventilation, heating and the ac commodations of the pupils of the schools all over the city, is regarded as superior to that of any previous year. The dry-air closets are a great improve ment, and will contribute greatly to the general health of the scholars, assisting very much in ventilating . and keeping the school air pure. < ■:.', "The Ruttan system of heating," faid Mr. Taylor, "is -working wonders in the matter of ventilation and general comfort, and our schools, from being once very defective in these respects, are now among" the best and healthiest in the country. In regard to the wants of the pupils, I have instructed all principals and teach ers .to allow them every opportunity, especially in the primaries, and in case of a doubt as to whether the scholar is sincere or pretending, to allow their judgment to lean invariably to the side of mercy. No child ls admitted to any school without a certificate showing that he has been vaccinated, and whenever a pupil is taken with scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria or other contagious dis ease, he is sent home, and all the other chil dren of the same family, and they are kept away from school until" a medical certificate is produced showing that no trace of the dis ease remains. If a child is found afflicted with lice, fleas or like vermin we send hun home to be thoroughly fumigated and made perfectly clean. But I have yet to see a flea, bedbug or/louse in our schools. Indeed, we are extremely careful in precautions against contagious diseases and uncleanliness. The first general meeting of the teach . ers will be held at 10 a. m. to-morrow in High school hall. ."..'.• A SOLDIER "ROMEO," Who Disobeyed Orders That He Might See His Lady Smile. Maj. Jared A.

Gray, Twentv fifth infantry, is an event which calls forth the sincercst sympathy of army people—not M much on Hint officer's own account as for the estimable young lady, his daughter, now eighteen years old. Capt. Gray made for him self in tho War of the Rebellion and enviable record. Entering the army as a private sol dier, in July, 1801, his military career en tailed the respect of all military men. Mrs. Gray died a year ago, since which time the captain's appetite for strong drink has seemed to control his every effort to resist it. Second Lieut. Selah R. H. Tompkins, Sev enth cavalry, is in arrest at Fort Leaven worth charged with disobedience of orders. On the day the troops of the Seventh cavalry left Fort Meade, Dak., en route to Fort Uiley, Kan., Gen. Forsyth,commanding the column, gave an imperative order that during the march officers and men should not absent themselves from their commands. -The heart strings of the young lieutenant, however,had become entwined about one of the many estimable young ladles cf the garrison at Fort Meade, and when the ■ command went into camp on the first night' out from the post, "Romeo" Tompkins mounted his government steed, and making a quiet "sneak 7" through the prairie sage brush, hied him back to the tort to once more bask in the light of his fair "Juliet's" eyes. His absence was discovered and reported to the general, whose tone of voice, as he read the "riot act" to his sub ordinate, will be a treasured memory through out the lieutenant's military career. • mm A Board of Trade League. Chicago, Sept. I.—The Merchants' league of the hoard of trade of Chicago, an organization similar in character to the one now in operation on the New York stock exchange, was started by members of • the board of trade yester day. The organization was effected after considerable hard work on the part of a special committee appointed at a secret preliminary meeting several weeks ago. The new association em braces in its membership 100 of the lead ing members of the board, and its ob jects are to cultivate among its members and the members of the board of trade a high standard of commercial char acter; also to secure to them the benefit of united action in furtherance of their legitimate interests. Under the pres ent arrangements on the board punish ments are few in proportion to the viola tions of the rules. The league proposes to create a fund with which to collect evidence against offenders and prosecute them. ••■»■ Wants His Note Canceled. Indianapolis, Sept. l.—A peculiar suit has been filed in the federal court here, the plaintiff being John Cline, of Newport, Ky.. and the defendant his sister-in-law, Mrs. Martha Yeo, of this state. He alleges that he was ill at Mrs. Yeo's in 1874, and, wishing to divide his wealth without making a will, he drew up a note in her favor for 513,800. Con trary to his expectations he recovered, but did not destroy the note, though he •credited himself with the interest each year. In 1881 his wife was taken sick, and Mrs. Yeo came to his house to at tend his wife. The latter died, and Mrs. Yeo soon after returned to her home in this state. He searched for the note after she left, but could not find it, and did not know where it was until Mrs. Yeo wrote to him a short time ago de manding the interest. He asks that the court cancel the note on the ground that he received no consideration for it. ■"•Ow — To Promote Music Culture. New York, Sept. I.—Some forty or fifty musicians and music lovers met in the concert room of the Metropolitan Opera house yesterday afternoon in response to an invitation to assist at the organization of the Wagner society. This resolution was adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet ing that it is expedient and desirable to organ ize a society in New York for the purpose of promoting national musical culture on such lines as may be read on the writings and compositions of Richard Wagner. The name of the society will be se lected at a future meeting, at which a committee on organization will report. £*'<; Bartley Campbell's Estate. : . New York, Sept.
