AT THE OLD ALAMO.
A Charming Transformation of the Interi-
or The ~. Marks BAZAAR Election
Day To-Morrrw.

Day To-Morrrw.
The old, historic Alamo is now the scene OF
busy preparation, much different in character
to those once enacted there, and which causes
every brave man the world over to thrill at the
mention Of the name Of Bowie and Crockett
and their comrades. 1t is draped for lew
days to the interests Of religion. The ladies
Of St. Marks Episcopal church, under the
management OF Miss Annie Tobin, President
Of the Altar society, are engaged in putting
the finishing touches to the preparations for
fair 10 be held there, opening tomorrow noon,
and continuing ill Thursday at midnight.
The object, II is needless to say, is good
one, as the proceeds will go toward the cree
ton Of a parsonage TO be attached to the
church.
The scene inside will be lovely one. There
is such a change brought about in the main
building below as only gentle woman with her
taste and ideas OF adornment could accom-
plish. A wonderful transformation has taken
place, and Of course II will be visited and adj
mired ere the polls close at the election table
on Thursday. This table is in charge Of and
has for judges of elections, Mrs. Barnard,
Miss Cora Ogden and Miss Evelna Howard.
1t is about the only ballot box we know Of
where one can vote early and often, and then
there is no discrimination as TO sex. There will
be no "bull DOING" no Danville riotng, but
the ",now flake" that falls into the urn here
will be properly counted without the aid Of a
Returning Board. To the most popular mar
ried lady voted on there will be awarded
splendid ''crazy" quilt. The same will be the
prize for the most popular benedict while the
cherub from the nursery, that is, the favorite
as TO beauty, will be tucked in its little bed
with a very handsome crib quilt. A white
satin hand painted dress is intended for the
most popular young lady, and a first class
saddle to the young man with the most
votes.
The booths are beautifully decked out in
all the glory Of colors, paintings, statuary and
lamps, while overhead, the ceiling, is gorge
Gus with American and other flags.

the tables:

No pains have been spared to
render this bazaar attractive. The
groupes Of handsome ladies alone
in attendance or these tables must prove a
winning card for the entertainment Besides
being place where amusement and refresh
ment are found, the Military band will dis
course music for the delighted promenaders
during the evenings of its progress. To pass
pleasant hour, to meet and make new friends
and to contribute therefore some slight aid TO
worthy effort should be inducements enough
to attract thousands to the St. Marks Bazaar.
