The attendance last evening at the Sis

night, and the ladies got down fairly TIC
business. There was also large addition
of useful and ornamental articles for SALE
There has been large number OF donations

needlework and hand painting is very fine,
especially one from sister in Minneapolis.
The brass band was present in full uniform
and gave excellent music.
The ice cream, strawberry and other
tables did big business, the ladies being
most attentive to the wants OF those present.
There is quite strife between the married
ladies and the single, each party having an
equal number of tables. The married ladies
have the south side Of the rink and the
young ladies the north. 1t looks as if this
strife will increase, as the young ladies
think they will be able to show the largest
receipts each evening. The program pre-
sented last evening was fine, and some OF
the vocal and other selections excellently
rendered. The fair will continue two

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.

The CULLOM interstate commerce COM
mittee will be in st. Paul next Thurs
day to canvass with our business men
and railroad officials the subject of freight
rates and determinations. The committee
has been engaged for some time in the
same work in number of the leading cities
of the country. On most of the topics con-
sidered by the committee there have been a
wide range and divergence of opinions. 1t
is doubtful whether the members of the
committee will return to Washington with
any clearer ideas of the nature of the
problem they are trying to solve than when
they started out But the information and
opinions they are collecting may exert an
important influence upon the wavering
judgments of members of congress.
The most important point to be gained
by this investigation is to fall upon some
plan by which the irregularity and
decentralization Of railroad rates may be
obviated. When railroad rates are irregu-
lar and demoralized one of the capital ele-
ments of commercial calculations is trans
formed from certainty into chance. While
tariff rates are shifting and irregular and
governed largely by the conditions of spe-
cial cases it is simply impracticable for mer-
chants and manufacturers to compute trust
worthy forecasts, as it is necessary now to
do on fine distinctions and close margins.
Shippers are more concerned in the stability
and certainty of rates and an equitable adj
justment between competing points than
they are in low rates governed by changing
conditions and liable to frequent fluctua-
tiOns.

ssPOOR CARLOTTA.o

The cable brings the pleasant news that
the eX-Empress CARLOTTA is recovering
her reason, and her physicians expect a
complete restoration. The sad and dread
full story of the reign and fall of MAXIMIL-
IAN and CARLoTTA seems like legend.
Just twenty years ago this month CAR
LoTTA. the young and beautiful wife Of
the Emperor MACMILLAN, entered Mex
leo and took her place by the side of her
husband on the throne of an empire. She
was then in her twentieth year, and her
young heart beat high with hopes and as
pirations. To no woman's ambition has
there ever been spread out more dazzling
prospects. But the bright dream was soon
over. The throne tottered and fell AS
the young emperor fell beneath the murder
GUS fire Of his enemies his last thoughts
were of his lovely young wife, and he
died with tie words Poor CARLoTTA" on
his lips. Nothing more curious, and in its
sorrowful way, more romantic, was ever
recorded in history than CARLoTTA's share
in the ill-starred expedition to Mexico. 1t
reads like one of those old French leg
ends of the middle ages. She and her hus-
band were the victims of the ambitious and
treacherous policy of LOUIS NAPOLEON.
When MACMILLAN died CARLoTTA's
reason was dethroned. The empress lost
her mind in the same melancholy and pro-
sale way humblerlpeople do-from grief an
