THE GERMAN FEST CLIO ED.
Tie Park Crowded Last Evening
The Last Day OF the Jubilee q
Grand Success.


Yesterday was the last day of the G Ter.
man Nolks-fest at Scheutzen Park, and
in consequence large crowd was in at
tendance, those who are capable of
judging putting the figures down at be-
tween 1000 and 5,OOO and people were
constantly going and coming until late
in the evening. In addition to the
gathering Of Germans, many American
citizens were in attendance, and every
one entered into the festivities with a
good will and the last da y of the festi-
val was an enjoyable one to all hands.
AS usual in large gatherings of this
kind Objectionable characters make
their presence very conspicuous, but the
prompt action Of the committee in
charge, aided by the special officers, pre-
vented them from creating any distur-
bance and when a row occurred these
belligerents were promptly elected.
The first Regiment Band furnished
music for the merry dancers, and the
pavilion was constantly crowded, and
when the German wallzes were in pro-
gress, which were the tavorites, the
floor was literally packed. The Pfeiffer
Harmony Band, of Philadelphia, also
rendered excellent music trOll the pa
vilion south of the building,
The colOred minstrels attracted gen.
eral attention, and when performing
they were surrounded by an immense
crowd. The picture gallery, wheel Of
fortune, flying horses, striking ma
chimes and other amusenents were lib
orally patronizcd and all day long
every one appeared to have plenty to do.
Sauer-kraut, beer, and other refresh
ments disappeared as # by magic, and
thriving trade was done at all the
stands. The shooting gallery was kept
in constant operation and some exciting
contests took place. Among the crack
shots were Chris. Bauer, Charles H.
New horter, and j. Z. Theodore Fuekel.
The foot race between Mr.. Fuekel and
officer TOwnsley was quite exciting,
and the two men, being heavily built,
went putting and blowing along the
course and came in on the home stretch
like steam engines. The officer woa
the race amid loud applause. Annie
Beyerlein, only eight years old, caught
the sheep in the race gotten up for the
amusement of children, but W. s unfor-
tunate enough to lose 1t on her way
home, it having broke the string around
its neck and escaped.
The "dude foot race, between Jones
and johnson, was an interesting con-
test, and was won by Jones. The
wheelbarrow race, and other festivities
were highly interesting, and the race
track was filled with fast steppers all
the afternoon.
Mrs. f. Scheu was accidently ran
against and painfully injured, but DR..
Ogle being summoned, applied the
proper remedies, and the lady was con-
veyed to her home in a carriage. The
festival kept up until at er midnight,
and closed, aftera run of three days,
with great satisfaction 10 every one, its
success exceeding the expectations of
the sanguine. Great Credits due those
having the matter in charge, as well as
to those who aided in making he affair
. grand success.

Planning Work.

Even in hou sework the brain may
save the body IA great deal of labor. A
woman who plans her work beforehand
always accomplishes great deal more
than her less methodical sister, and
with less fatigue to herself Before she
rises in the morning her days duties
are thoroughly arranged, and the order
in which the different details are to be
carried out is quite decided upon. 1t
makes all work easeir to have it thus
planned beforehand and many a weary
woman might secure many bright half
hours to hrrselfevery week if she would
but iuaugurate the system. 1t is like
packing trunk. How easy it is for one
skilled in the business to put in third
more than one who throws things to-
getherjns as they come 1t is a pleas
ure to look back on a well-p,anned day
and see what has been done. People
whose days are full of idleness and ease
do not have the monopoly of happiness
byany means. Those who have nothing to
do except make themselves com Portable
are generally peevish and disconteuted.
Work has manifold advantages and
the woman who has led busy life can
not be content to rest in idlenesss.
