Did you not hear it last EVENING" On
the west gallery, Immediately above the
LEDGER press, music reigns supreme.

CALIFORNIA PERFUMERY.
Our reporter discovered in the main
hall fine display of toilet perfumery |
from the Pacific coast and from the
house of .. D. Fugazi Of San Francisco,
The display Is arranged with exquisite
taste. A preparation called the Foun-
tain Of Youth Hair Restorer is said to
be superior to anything heretofore in
vented, Gray hairs are changed to the
original color after few applications.
1t is adapted to all shades Of colar and
complexion. The preparation is as
clear as crystal, has no settlement and |
no smell Of sulphur or other drugs. 1t
leaves sn the hair delicious perfume,
and prevents it from falling out. Fugazi's
Oriental oil Dye for whiskers is another |
wonderful preparation. 1t changes the
color of the whiskers in few seconds,
and it has carried off numberless medals
and premiums from different Exposi-
tions. These preparations are sold at
the Exposition and by all druggists in
the city.
