Fair at Killers 0pera-house.


The church fair at Miller's Opera'h ouse
Twenty-fifth Ward, is still in progress, and
has passed off each evening since its open
ing with such eclat as speaks we'll for its
management The stock in each depart
ment seems as yet in No way depleted, and
until it does show signs of thinning out,
and as long as the revenue is magnificently
swelling, it is the intention to continue.
We spent a pleasant hour last evening
midst its brilliant labyrinths and noticed
all features in full display. Pretty-faced
dolls look out from festOons of cedar. Long
rows of fancy textures hang in undulating
beauty. The floral display is unrivaled.
Rich candies with fair venders at once
tempt an investment Of a nickel. Tables
of innumerable varieties of toys have the
iumping-iack reminding all that there is
animation in their nature. The fish-pond
never once yields water-haul, and Monkey
John gives down weight every time.
The restaurant under the management
of Mrs Gram and Mrs. DcSerisy, is pleas
ant place to refresh after busy tour of in
spection. The nectar coffee and viands are
served in that .homelike manner that re.
minds the waSfarer of mothers style of
cooking. After fair test we pronounce
the culinary success
Among the ladies in charge you meet the
pleasant faces of Mrs. J. H. McMakin and
Mrs. G. A. Miller, whose offerings are rich,
rare and reasonable. Mrs. VIM. Anson, at
the flower stand, looks peeress of her
sweet wares, while Miss Griffith sheds a
conquering radiance as she fastens the
purchase to your lapel. Miss Minnie
Johnston brings to bear the power OF blonde
beauty as she approaches with the tally
sheet soliciting vote. And Miss Snedaker
is goddess, while she gives instruction as
