A Scene from the Seventh
Reqiment Fair.

Regiment Fair.
The great fair is over, and about
100000 has teen added to the sew
enth regiment armory fund. There
is no denying that fairs are great in
stitutions for raising money, but |
really cannot say that | believe in
them. They make young girls bold
and young men very reckless. For
instance, girls will go about among
men they never saw before and ask
them to take chances in ring,
cake, or rattle; not only ask but coax
them, and men thus importuned will
spend more than they can afford |
heard of one man who spent $4,000
on raflles alone. The spirit Of rival
ry runs high when there is prize Of
fered for the table, or the lady who
takes in the most money. On the
last night of the fair an illustration of
the feeling of rivalry occurred that
came near ending in a fsticuf en-
counter. Dunlap sent up case of
hats as present to the fair and
two order books. The idea of the or
derbooks was that anybody could buy
an order on Dunlap for q hat redeem
able at any time. The fair sold them
for the regular price and the maker
allowed the trade discount. To make
the game more exciting he offered
prize of handsome lady's hat to the
lady who should get the most orders.
Two ladies were found to take hold at
once. One backed out after she had
taken two orders and handed her
book over to another young lady,
transferring the two orders she had
taken with it. This made the other
lady very angry, and she called the
proceeding cheating" and told her
husband all about it. Like a good
husband be sided with his wife and
vowed that she should not be euchred
in that way, SO he bought two orders
of her himself. This incensed the
young man of the young lady who
held the other book, and he imme-
diately bought four orders. Then the
husband flew into passion and swore
that his wife should win the hat, come
what may, and he bought more or
ders. The young man who could ill
afford it, did the same. The husband
lost his head at this, and jumping up
on the counter of his wife's booth, be-
gan to denounce the other side. His
friends dragged him down. Then he
seized a pen and ink and wrote off a
check for $l94 and handed it to the
cashier, which, being rich man, he
could well afford. The young man
was almost in despair. The young
lady begged him to stop; said she
didn't want the hat but his blood was
up. He rushed into the supper room,
and found fifteen men whom he
knew eating and drinking, particular
ly the latter. He dragged them all
out and they gave their orders to the
young lady. The husband became
livid. "You might just as well give
up this game at once" said he "for
I'm determined to have that hat if it
takes my entire fortune" The young
man didn't want to give up the fight
and fifteen men from the supper
cheered him on. By this time it was
nearly three o'clock in the morning,
and the authorities interfered and
locked the books up in the safe.-N.

FAIRLY ACTIVE AT BETTER PRICES.
LONDON, Feb. f7.-The Mark Lane Express
says. The weather the past week has been rea-
sonable. Ram was not excessive, and blowing
actively proceeded. 1t is Still feared some au-
tumn-sown wheat has been frosted, as many
fields where it should have appeared are nearly
bare and on many where it has appeared it is
neither strong nor forward. Threshing is pro-
ceeding rather more freely, though the damp
has unfavorably affected grain, aud the slight
advance in prices which has taken place only
applies to dry samples Last seasons crop is
80 deficient that already in some parts of the
country stocks of homegrown wheat in farm
ers' hands have been almost exhausted. For
eisn arrived somewhat more freely, both at
London and Liverpool. Nevertheless, there
has been decidedly stronger feeling in for
eign wheat, particularly last Monday, when
iisk and healthy demand was experienced FOR
all varieties, at an advance of Cd. to Is. per
quarter en- the week. This improvement was
due to tue legitimate effect of a diminutiOn of
stocks and the acknowledged scarcity of wheat
in France. Towards the close of tie week
there was lack of animation both at London
and in the provinces in consequence OF the eX-
IRENE demands of holders, but Monday prices
for red and white wheat were fully maintained.
Maize on the spot, owing to its extreme scar
city, improved slightly. Arrivals at ports of
call have been very light. There was great
firmness in the early part of the week, large
cargo of red winter fetching SIS. for the CONT
nent. There has been a quieter tone since, ow-
ing to advices of easier prices from America
and the continent.

LONDON, Feb. TIN the house o. commons
to-day Sir Charles Russell and Mr.. Orslow asked
Mr.. Plimsoll whether he was responsible for
the haudbill signed with his name and
placarded in Westminster and Guildford,
cen.uring them in bitter terms for opposing q
technical, and under the rules of t5e house q
fatal objection to the second reading OF bis
bill for loading grain in bags. Ne. PlimsOll
admitted the authorship of the handbill and
mentioned the justice of its contents. Slr

RITE OF MARRIAGE

ROME, Feb. 1.-THE papal encyclical argues
in favor of removal of the rite of marriage
from all civil jurisdiction whatsoever. 1t traces
the history of marriage from patriachal times
to Catholic times and declares Christ elevated
it to sacrament, which only his church can
administer. The attempt made under various
guises by the modern spirit of irreligion to rob
the church of that right, either to bind or
loose the marriage tie. must be resisted by the
whole Catholic world. His holiness indicates
the conditions whereunder the separation of
husband or wife may be sanctioned by the
church, and concludes with an exhortation to
the universal EPiscopals to communicate his
teaching to the faithful for their welfare in
both worlds.
