The Centennial.

The ladies Of the Centennial Aid So
ciety thus detail their proposed plans
tor their entertainment at Exposition
Hall, on May 20 and 81:
Making the r0ck-work in Horticultural
Hall our starting point, we transform it
(in our minds to sylvan grottO, people
it with beautiful nymphs, and represent
the age of fable. Our nymphs, profTting
by q modern education, will make them.
selves useful as well as ornamental.
The ahree Fates will not only spin (poet.
ically speaking) the destinies of man.
kind, but will also condescend to be re.
munerated therefor in vulgar currency.
The nectar which some blooming Hebe
will bear to the gods from a hidden foun.
tain will have market value.
Passing from the grotto we enter the
Indian encampment, which will occupy
about 10 by 35 feet Of the south portion
of the hall. A small tribe OF friendly
Indians have consented to be present.
They will bring with them such articles
,of Indian manufacture as will best
please their white brothers.
| From the Indian wigwam our next
step is to the rude cabin of civilized
life. Here will be seen some of the
identical furniture that has come down
to us from former generations. The
music of the7spinning-wheel will be once
more heard in the land; the ancient we'll
sweep will bring from unseen depths a
refreshing draught.
From bare civilization we pass to a
higher plane of culture, as shown in the
Floral Department, to be located in the
northeastern quarter of the hall. Here
we have the promise OF assistance from
several florists in the donation of plants
| and flowers, and of personal interest and
material aid from Mrs. John Shillito, Mrs
Burkhardt, Mrs. Sprague, Miss Warden
and others.
There now remains to us only the
northwestern quarter of the hall, and
here we pitch our Gypsy tent. In con-
sideration of the Importance OF the occa.
sion the Gypsy Queen will herself be
present attended by her fairest maidens
and most accomplished fortune-teller.
In regard to the general decoration oi
the hall there is little to be done except
to provide suitable background for the
several departments. This will be Ell.
tected in great measure by means oi
suitable scenery, now in course OF prepa.
ration by Mr. Harvey, the scenic artist
And here we would say that the Com.
mittee Of the Musical Festival are de.
sirous that some of our decorations shall
be arranged before the opening of the
Festival, and promise us substantial aid
Our thanks are not only due to them, but
also to the Exposition Committee, who
kindly submit to a delay OF their con.
| templated changes in the nall. Respect
| fully submitted.

MRS. NJ. r. WILLIAMSON.

CHAMBER CONCERT. - The Chamber
Concert given last evening, at College
Hall, by Prof. Pallat, and Messrs. Brand
and Fiechter, assisted by Mr.. Pam

cultured audience. The instrumental
pieces of the elegant programme were all
executed in the mastery style that ever
charac Akize the performances of these
accomplished musicians; and Mr.Plann's
vocal solos were loudly applauded. The
delight and appreciation OF their auditors
were testified in repeated encores. This
is the closing concert of the present
series. These classical entertainments
have been a source Of highest enjoyment
to our music loving citizens, whose best
thanks are due Prof. Pallat and his able
assistants.

Il $4,000 Fire.

A fire broke out at midnight last night
in the looking-glass frame and moldlug
factory of G. +. Hammer, at the corner
of Smith and Augusta slreets. A double
call was turned in, and beth relays oil
engines were on hand promptly, but
their efforts to save the building, which
was filed with light, inflammable mate
rial, were unavailing, and the building
and contents were entirely lost. The
building was a tour-stOry brick struc-
ture. fronting on both streets, and worth
about $4,000. The chief loss. however,
will be on the machinery with which the
factory was furnished. 1t was claimed
by the owners TO be the finest of the kind
in the city, and worth from $4,000 TO
$22,0
The star. (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1874-1875, 1875-04-29

Fortunately, the stock In the building
was small, as that which was finished
was stored in another building, owned
by Mr.. Hammer, on the corner diagonally
opposite. The unfinished material stored
in the upper part of the building was
probably worth $4,000. Some valuable
walnut and rosewood lumber, piled In
the rear of the building, was also partly
burned.
The factory employed from thirty to
thirty-tive men, who are thus temporarily
thrown out Of employment. Ten OF them
had complete and valuable chests OF
tools, which were entirely destroyed,
involving total loss of $1,000, which
will fall upon the workmen individually.
The flames were also communicated to
Meadeps lumber yard adjoining, and
damaged it to the extent of some $4,000
before they were subdued.
None of the employees about the place
or people in the neighborhood were able
to account for the origin of the fire.
The insurance on Mr.. Hammers stock
is $4,000 on stock, machinery and build
ing, divided among the following compa-
nies: Merchants & Manufacturers,
$1,000; Union, $1,000; National, $4,000;
Enterprise, 5000; Flremen's, $4,000.
The loss OF the Meader'Furniture Com
pany will not exceed $1,000, about ~, 900
of which is ON lumber, part of which was
piled in the yard and part. stored in
Hammers factory. On this there is no
insurance at all. The building is prob
ably damaged to the extent of $1,000,
and will be repaired by the insurance
companies having policies on the prop
erty.
The "Nines" were the first on the
ground last night, but were unable to
throw water Tor time, owing to the fact
that the plug to which they had attached
their hose failed to work properly. They
then hauled their engine by hand across
the street to the southwest corner oil
Smith and Augusta streets, where they
got in good work, and where they are
stationed to-day. Their engine was not
disabled, as was stated in one OF the
morning papers.
Tom Gleech, citizen and property
holder of the ward, was severely burned
while assisting the tiremen last night.

The WaInut Aiils Raitroad-An Injunc-
tiOJl.

Francis b. Williams filed suit In the
Clerks Office this morning against Henry
Lewis, to enjoin him from constructing
the Walnut Hills street railroad, known
as Route No. 10.
The plaintiffs grounds for the injunc,
tion are, first, that his property, lot No.
8 in Taylor's subdivision, extends l3 feet
beyond the center of the road, and,
therefore, in constructing the railroad
his private property is trespassed upon; /;
second, that the defendants right oil
construction OF said railroad, as given
him by the ordinance of Common Coun-
Gil, passed in 1872, is void Tor the reason
that he commenced work On said rail-
road after the time one year designated
in the ordinance ior the work to COM
mence had expired.
The plaintiff further claims that the
ordinance provides ior the grading OF
Gilbert avenue before work on the rail
road is proceeded with and that said av-
enue has not been graded. For a third
reason the plaintiff alleges that he never
gave either verbal or written consent
to the construction of the railroad.
On these grounds the plaintiff claims
that if no Injunction be granted him his
property WI be irreparably damaged,
both by the construction Ot'said railroad
and the hlndrance caused in grading Gill
bert avenue. A temporary injunction
was allowed by Judge Avery under $3,-
900 bonds.
MI. Lewis being this morning faced
with this order of the Court, placed
couple of crowbars in an upright posi-
tion on Mr.. Williams line, lett every
thing just as it was, and put his large
force at work on the properly beyond.
IL is not thought that this temporary
order will cause any serious delay as it
is the intention Of the defendants to have
a hearing in time to go ON with the work
on Mr.. Williams land as soon as they
have finished that part Of tho road where
no obstacles have been offered.
Mr.. Williams is not lett in very de-
sirable tx by the effect OF this ihjunc-
tion, as the work Of building the road has
proceeded so far as to almost block UP
passage to and from his place.

At a recent examination Of a class in

first two questions were: "Detine the

On collecting the students books the
following is all the professor found writ
ten in one: "Chemistry is a very impor.
tant study, in which 1 have not made
sufficient progress to warrant my at

atom may be said to express, in fgura-

A slip OF grammar in a recent number
OF the Atlantic Monthly has revived the
discussion as to the necessity of new
personal pronoun singular that will do
for either sex. The Atlantic permitted
itself to say: "We would rather set a
boy or girl upon some one poet nearest
akin to their mental aptitude" Now
this peculiar Dlunder is very frequent.
If only occasionally found in the best
writings, it is because the proef-reader
interposes his correction before the SEN
tence reaches the public, for every ed
itor knows how often even careful
writer's make the mistake; while in the
ordinary utterances Of the day it is as
printed regulations OF almost every car
and steamboat, and is ubiquitous In ad-
yertisements and announcements, as,
for instance: "Every passenger must
pay their fare on entering the car" sc.
To avoid this blunder either an awkward
circumlocution must be made, such as,
| "Every passenger must pay his or her
fare" or else one of the sexes must be
boldly ignored. 1t is true that the pro.
noun Of the masculine gender may be
| used in these cases as representative
of the entire human family, but
| the Instincts of justice are stronger than
Cn0Se OF YrdHlnur, anu neuce tAe dVeTabe

than ungallantly "squelch the woman in
this jaunty fashion," as contemporary
toreibly puts it. Certain writer's assert
| very decidedly that no pronouns are
| needed beyond those we already possess,
but this is simply dogmatic opinion,
unsupported by the facts. No matter
| what pedants may say in the matter,
every man of dispassionate judgment
must see that if nearly all the writer's in
the country, learned and unlearned, are
continually betrayed into definite error
OF grammar, and an error which can be
avoided in many instances only by either
a clumsy circumloeution or a half state.

is over. With all it's faults Republication
does embody much of the gentility of tue
country, and does contain powerful sec
ton that will no longer submit TO the
disgrace Of being led by such rowdies as
Grant aud his knavish ring. They have no
other feeling than one of adherence and
contempt for the man, and any one can see
this in the leading organs of public opinion
in their section! Grant may force himself
on the party as its next nominee, but he will
not command its undivided support as
heretofore. The late elections cannot be
taken as q triumph of Grantism in any sense.
On the contrary, the meagerness of the
Republican victories coupled with certain
past events shows unequivocally that his
policy of hatred and war must be dropped.
No man who runs on that platform can be
elected, and no Republican candidate for
the Presidency can carry several of the
States which have just declared themselves
Republican, unless he plant himself square
ly on the platform of sectional Cancellation
and non interference in local self govern
ment.

Editor Morning Star:
Just a word or two, from locker on,
about the procession of St. Theresa's con-
gregstion last Sunday. 1t was q grand
proof of Catholic faith. 1t was a real
religious procession. When the Jubilee is
made professionally, and there lie only q
concourse Of people going from church to
church, without any signs Of religious
procession--such as a crucifx, priests in
their sacred robes, etc, it becomes matter
of doubt whether the conditions for gaining
the Jubilee are complied with OF not. An
other question may be raised-i. e., if there
be Jubilee procession, are all who form
the procession, or the most of them, obliged
to enter each or any church, There is
and can be no opinion about it. Whoever
has read in the "Analectica Juris Pom
tifcii" the answers which Rome has given
to various question: of this kind, knows
that it is not necessary for all or for the
majority to enter the Jubilee church ,-cn
the simple principle that all who make the
procession form one moral body and per-
form one moral act. whether many or few

ceived from the Archbishop, the largest
powers in regard to the method of making
the Jubilee have been given to the Pastors.
Each Jubilee procession is the business of
the pastor, whose people make it-and
nobody else's business. These few words
write, hoping you will publish them, for
the simple purpose of destroying misappre-
tensions in regard to what is and what is
not necessary to gain the Jubilee.
