THE LAKE GROWS GAY, Bright, Warm Weather Trans forms White Bear Lake, And Crowds Throng 1 the Shores in Pursuit of Sum mer Sport. Pugilist Fitzsimmons Finds as an Oarsman He Is Not in It. Personal and Social Gossip, Yachting Talk and Gen eral Notes. B^tffitf^^^^isqfllißiaii Concerts, hoDS, regattas, picnics and Innumerable other events have changed the hitherto comparatively quiet resort to a scence of social activity, and, from this time on, there will be one unceas ing round of lakeside attractions in their nature and variety sufficient to natisfy the most exacting of pleasure jeekers. Under most auspicious con ditions Ramaley's Lakeside pavilion gave its military entertainment and opening concert and hop last Tuesday evening. A crowd was provided for, ami a crowd came, one which took com plete possession of the large building, and turned it into a place of revelry. A fine orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Seibert and assisted by two fine vocalists, rendered a musical pro gramme which received unlimited praise from all who heard it. When the floor was cleared for the hop the carefully selected dance music soon Bet the gay throng in motion. It was a typical lake gathering, and the costumes worn were of ail kinds. The more cor rect came in full dress; others, who prized comfort more than etiquette, •were in neglige or linen costumes, while here and there the yachtmen, in their white caps and breezy uniforms, added their mite to this variegated multitude. The returning train to St. Paul came only too soon, and ali voted the opening entertainment an unqualified success. These concerts will be given regularly from now on every Tuesday and Friday nights. ITlerry Pickntckcrs. The attractions of the Mahtomedi picnic grounds induced the students of the Curtis Business colleges of St. Paul and Minneapolis to select that place for their annual picnic, and, conse quently, early yesterday morning, to the number of 200 strong, the students With their friends arrived at the lake and Immediately capturtTd Mahtomedi and all its attachments. Mine Host Neiman, of the hotel, threw open his doors and extended his fleet of boats to the picknickers. The day was spent in the regular picnic fashion, commencing with athletic sports and winding up with a dance. The Bradstreet Mercan tile agency gave an outing to their em ployes yesterday, and, while their num bers were not so large as those of the picknickers atMahtoniedi, yet they made the welkin ring with the exuberance of their spirits and crowded into a few Bhort hours the fun and frolic which they had kept bottled up for a year. Lake (JoNsip. In piscatorial circles the week lias been an eventful one. The disciples of Izmik Walton made fearful inroads upon the linny tribe. The much-prized croppie and the wary and enrny wall-eyed pike were taken from the lake in very considerable numbers. Mr. Baker, of Dellwood, however, caught the prize fish, a musoalonge, weighing over twenty pounds, the largest fish that has been taken for a long time, and a lish which re calls the time a number of years ago when the catching of fifteen and twenty-pounders was nn every-day occurrence. It was demonstrated last week that Bob Fitzsimmons, the great pugilist, was much better at pounding* than he was at pulling. He is training at the lake and as a part of his ■work undertook to do some rowing. He Challenged Nook Richards to a race and Nook, while about naif the size of FitzMmmous, ac cepted the challenge. The result was r sur prise, for Nook led Bob a lively race, ana came out the winner by a long lead. A protest against the Viking, the winner of the regatta last Saturday, has been filed with the sailing committee, as it is claimed by Boiue of me club members that she was sailed a i. art of the time by a professional, which is In violation of the sailing rules of the associa tion. It is not claimed that she won the race on account of her professional aid, but the rules in regard to professional tailors are very stringent. J. L. Stack yesterday. • for the first time, entered his new boat in the regatta. She carries the largest canvas on the lake, and is further distinguished by the fact that bhe has no cockpit. She is entirely decked over and can sail with her deck under water and Btill keep agoing. The Manitou will from henceforth appear as a sloop. Under her old rigging she was not quite fast enough for the new yachts, but under her new rigging Jean Ramaley hopes to retrieve hi 3 record, which has been a fine one. Personals.

DAY TON'S BLUFF. The graduating exercises of the Van Buren school were held in the school house Thurs day, and whs enjoyed by a large number of parents and friends of the young people, who made a very creditable showing, in deed, some of the number exhiDitlng great talent in the several parts assigned to them. Two of the most prominent were Master George Caldwell, who proved himself quite a poet, and Mi*s Mary Newton, who is well known on the Muff both as being exception ally bi-ifrht, and also a most lovable dispo sition, which makes her efforts doubly ac ceptable. The commencement song" was prettily rendered by the whole class. The class motto, which read '"Row, Not Drift.' was by Miss Hattie Dewart. "Class Photog raphy,"' by Miss Mary Newton, was very much enjoyed, as was also the "Class Poem." composed by George Caldwell. A pretty quartette was rendered with great ta~tc by Miss May Langley. Miss Liddya Wichinan, Carl Siebsild and Paul de Hass. Miss May Gage deserved great credit for her "Class Prophecy," as did also Minnie Tupper for her "Memento."

The piece was rendered with dramatic skill, wor thy of great praise to amateurs. The entertainment was concluded with a farce called "Box and Cox," by Henry Brant, Ralph Allison and Herbert Himstein, which provoked unbounded merriment. The large and enthusiastic audience testified how much these efforts are appreciated by the Blutf people, and ought to encourage the perform ers as well as others to follow their example. This form of entertainment is very much en joyed at ull limes, and the rehearsals are always a great source of pleasure to the young people who take part.

STILL WATER NEWS. An Accident Which Resulted in the Loss of a Life. A terrible accident occurred at the Cham ber's mill at Lakeland yesterday, resulting in the killing of Oluf: Nelson, an employe, in stantly. Nelson had worked at the mill three seasons aud was a careful workman. He had charge of the slot cutting-off saw, and yes terday morning sta. ted to work as usual. He had not been working long, however, when the saw snapped in two in the center, one of the pieces striking him, cutting off his left leg and disembowling him. Before anybody reached the spot he had breathed his last. The cause for the saw breaking was the striking of a knot with such force as to check its motion, causing the steel to break.

How Such Sufferers Are Re ceived and Cared for at Hospitals. Poor Devils Who Suffer None the Less for Their Deeds. "What's the matter with him?" asked a sympathetic old gentleman the other night, as the patrol wagon crashed against the curb at the central police station, and the officers proceeded to lift from it a man. "Snakes, that's what's the matter with him," replied the conductor of the wagon, as the struggling, foaming bun dle of humanity was borne into the sta tion house, aud he resumed his place on the rear step of the "hurry up." The laconic reply of the police officer was explanatory of a great deal. That one word "snakes" means to him a reg ular phase of police duty, and if the philanthropic old gentleman had cared A VICTIM WITH THE HORRORS. to follow up the clue he could have heard a story about the kind of snakes that frequent the central station which could not have failed to interest, though it might have horrified him. To one who makes the rounds of the sta tions at night, these whisky-bred snakes are familiar enough. Perhaps he can not see them himself actually, but he sees them lust as vividly portrayed in his mind's eye as though they were really crawling all over the floor, fight- Ing and squirming for supremacy with other reptiles, rats, mice and vermin generally. Get three delirium tremen patients in the station at once, and all violent ones, and between them they will make the coolest headed man in the place believe that all the imps of the In ferno are loose in, his immediate vi ciuity. Conic In Groups. Two or three days may go by without any arrivals of such patients, then all at once there will be a rush, quickly fill ing up the ward. Most of the cases are of persons who have met with accidents while Intoxicated and have been brought in by the patrol wagons. Some times, however, arrests are made for drunkenness. The prisoners have either been fished from the gutter in a soggy condition, or else have been gatnered in while noisy, boisterous or anxious to fight. When confined in the cell for hours and de nied stimulants, the reaction comes, and the whole nervous system is un strung. At most of the station houses a jug, filled with a decoction of cheap whisky and asafetida, is kept. Out of mercy, when the appeals of the "drunk" become irresistible, he is given a sup of this vile mixture, and the avid ity with which he swallows the stuff is astonishing. Often this course only de lays the climax. The breakdown comes, and it is evident that the services of a doctor are necessary. The prisoner is seized with tremors. His hands tremble and he shakes all over. He is oppressed with fear, and vagaries fill his diseased mind. Insects and rats are crawling over him, and huge reptiles with dis tended jaws and dart ; "g tongues are Cloßiiis In on Their Prey. His condition becomes piteous indeed. A patrol wagon is summoned, and the shrinking victim hurried to the hospital. When he is led into the reception room the doctors and attendants, who have been notified ity telephone, are already HERE IS YOURJME BLOCK 31, Syndicate Addition No. 5, Will be sold AT AUCTION next Saturday Afternoon AT 3 O'CLOCK, On the following: terms, viz: One fourth cash, balance on or before eight years, at 7 per cent interest.

They are us"ualTy over come with fear, and anxious to shield themselves from the imaginary danger. It is the work of only a few seconds to disrobe the sufferer from the horrors. He is immediately taken Into the oath room adjoining and given a cold shower, ]ust as frigid as he can stand it. Ex perience has demonstrated that a cold bath is one of the best things in the world to counteract the effects of the alcohol. In surgical cases, however, where there is an injury requiring attention, it is of course impossible to use the bath. These victims of alcoholic excesses are not burning up with internal fires, as many would suppose. On the contrary, the temperature is low, often subnormal. Cold Beads ot' Perspiration Stand out on the forehead. The effect of the bath is almost invariably salu tary. As he steps from the cold show ers attendants are ready to briskly rub him down with rough towels until his skin smarts from the friction. It is hard to describe his condition. His nervous system is shattered. The least sound jars his nerves like a hand swept across the strings of an untuned instru ment. The tremor of his limbs has in creased. His eyes wander about In dread and apprehension as if fearing attack from the horrid creations of his mind. Strangely, too, he talks rationally on every subject but that one. The inex perienced would see nothing in his ac tions indicating the disease. His de meanor is perfectly calm and his lan guage quiet until suddenly the delirium manifests itself, and lie breaks forth ex citedly about his pursuers, or the im aginary things he sees. Oftentimes, even then, they speak calmly ana with apparent intelligence, directing atten tion to the terrors conjured up by their imaginations. Hypodermic injections of morphia are given, but great care is exercised, owing to the feeble condition of the subject, and the attending physi cian closely watches the developments. When the Brain Finally Yield* To the soporific influence, the patient is allowed to sleep as long as possible. Frequently twenty-four or thirty hours elapse before he awakes. The longer he sleeps the better. When he has again aroused, the course of treatment continues, with the object of restoring the nerves to their normal tension. The patient is humored in his vagaries and allowed to revel in his allusions without contradiction. When the state of his nervous system has started to im prove, the physician begins to build up his stomach. That organ has been so abused with stimulants thatit will not retain solid food. The usual course of treatment is milk low prices, | CARPETS! B EASY TERMS. Qeo.H.Lains Furnishing Co. 448 and 450 Wabasha Street, St. Paul. WE PAY FREIGHT 100 MILES. SEND FOR CATALOGUE.

Drastic drugs are adminis tered to cleanse the liver, drive o"ut the poison and flush the entire sewerage system of the body. It is a tedious, del icate task, and the patient is often irri table, complaining and ungrateful for the attentions. He thinks the medicine is poison and the attendant in a plot to kill him. The patience of the nurse is taxed to the limit. In a week or less the unfortunate is fairly in condition and ready to be discharged. He Is Repentant And swears he will never make a beast of himself again. He shudders as memories of his fearful experience rise like bad dreams. Many can recall their sufferings while in delirium. Too often the penitence does not last, and in a few weeks the "customer" is back again, as bad or worse than ever. Each recurring attack is more violent and more agonizing, until finally comes the last and death claims the trembling vic tim auring his delirium. Now and then, as the sufferers are having their horrible dreams, one will break forth with a series of unearthly yells. The cries seem to encourage the delusions of the other victims, for im mediately there will follow a chorus of the demoniacal shrieks. It will be half an hour or more before comparative quiet is again restored. Many of the patients have to be Fastened to Their Cots when they become violent. This is done with padded leather handcuffs, attached to straps, which are fastened to the framework of the bed. A handcuff is placed around eacii wrist and ankle,and in that way the patient is pinioned so lie cannot rise from a reclining position. Not long ago a man with a peculiar case of delirium tremens was brought to the hospital, lie talked calmly and in telligently, but every few seconds he would dash his hand "at some part of his person, as if he was brushing something off. His actions were rather amusing than otherwise. "1 never saw such a season for flies," he quietly remarked, "and so early in the year, too. a big swarm has been walking over me, and they are very an noy ing." "There's some on you, too," he sud denly remarked, and reaching over carefully brushed Dr. Green's vest. Then he saw them on the ceiling, and as his delirium increased in intensity, he declared that everything in the room was covered, it was impossible to con vince him that the flies were purely imaginary. "Delirium tremens," said Dr. Ancker the other day, "originate from the abuse of alcoholic stimulants by people of a nervous or irritable temperament. It is characterized by a combination of delirium with muscular tremors, the latter chiefly of the hands. The victims mutter to themselves, and are abrupt, anxious and apprehensive. One mo ment conscious and rational, and the next incoherent and excited by ridicu lous fancies. All this is attended by complete sleeplessness. The face gen erally has a pale, dirty color; the eyes are suffused and lusterless. and the skin warm and moist, frequently perspiring copiously." LITTLE INCIDENTS. A.
