NATIONAL SAENGERFEST.
The National Sangerfest Opened in an
AuspiciOus Manner at WiSc0nsin's
Metropolis.
Over Ten Thousand Persons Attend the
First Concert and Enjoy the Grand
ChOric Effects,

MILWAUKEE, July 21.-The sengerfest
opened to-day in blaze of glory-anG
heat. Old Sol appeared to have no sym
pathy with the purposes of the gathering
Straight and fierce his shafts came down
on the marching thousands in the streets
and strolling throngs on the sidewalks
On the just and unjust they fell alike un-
til all were only too anxious to find a shady
shelter.
The streets all through the city were a
waving mass of banners, bunting. and
evergreen. The decoration has been
carried to an extent never before known
in the history of the city, and entirely
unexpected at this time. Even the horses.
as they go bobbing along, nod "wilkom-
mer" with each movement. Bicycles and
business blocks, private residences and
peanut-stands, all bear outward and visi-
bic signs as to the general rejoicing.
Hardly building on the business streets
of the city remains undecorated. In
some of the decorations very high de-
gree of taste is exhibited.
A citizen is considered only mildly i'm
bued with the spirit of the occasion if he
expresses the opinion that there are but
10000 strangers in the city; and if he ex-
poets to appear enthusiastic, he must
place the estimate upward of 10000
Twenty thousand, however, is pretty
safe figure, and, probably, covers the
ground fully. Every hotel, boarding and
lodging house is packed, and there are
hundreds of visitors the guests of private
citizens. From early morning until
o'clock this afternoon singers and visitors
were arriving on the different railroads
ard there were hardly five consecutive
minutes between the hours mentioned
when
THE BLARE OF RRAss BAND,
as it headed some procession from one of
the depOts, could not be heard.
THE ARRIVALS FOR THE DAY
were by no means confined to the singers
and their parties. Every train bore a
fresh contingent of visitors and curiosity
seekers, pouring them into the streets
until the latter toward night became a
packed mass of humanity wondering
hither and thither in search of pleasure.
The sidewalk habitant so noticeable in all
great gatherings put in an appearance
early, and show strong indications of hav-
ing come to stay. He occupied the best
places on the palks, shifting only as the
sun changed his quarter, contentedly en-
joying the passing spectacles. He was
still there when the cold moon looked
down about midnight, though not quite
SO numerous.
Tonight the opening concert of the
fest took place at the Exposition build
ing. The jam was immense many of the
people being compelled to stand and
numbers being turned away at the door.
1t is estimated that there were 10000 to
10000 present.
Governor Rusk spoke in laudation of
the spirit of the saengerfest.
Louis Allgewater, of Buffalo, formally
presented the saengerfest banner to Hen
ry M Mendel, of Milwaukee, president of
the festival, who responded briefly.

Going to Bed" Etiquette.
Boston Record.

It is always debatable point of ETH
quite, whether hostess or guest makes the
first movement to go to bed, and thus
breaks up the evening gathering. The
guest may be overcome with fatigue from
a days journey, the host may be fdget-
ing under the strain of entertaining, and
longing for the guest to show some signs
by which he can gracefully Hospitality
suggest "that it is getting Late" yet Meth
er quite like to appear, as they think, i'm
polite. In fat, many visitors have suf
fered agonies in trying to be agreeable,
while the host and hostess were doing
their best to suppress their yawns and to
''make conversation" until chance offered
solution of the difficulty. There is,
however, but one rule to be followed in
this relationship of host and hostess, and
the hour of retirement. The host Or
hostess must always take the initiative
and say an appropriate word as to the
leteness of the hour and the desirability
of going to bed. A Boston lady who has
entertained numerous "house parties" re-
lates it as her experience that the visitors
she most breads are "owls," who like to
sit up till all is blue. Many is the time,
she says, she has regretted the days of
her childhood, when the nurse appeared
at the drawing room door promptly at 9
O'Clock and carried her off to bed. How
gladly would she now welcome the appar-
ition of the nursery tyrant when obliged
to find entertainment until midnight for
people who were as anxious, perhaps, as
herself, TO go to their rooms.

Story for the Railway Mail Clerks

Superintendent Jameson, of the Rail-
way Nail Service, says there are 10000 ap-
plications for appointments in that SER
vice on file in hedepartment. The Broth
erhood OF Railway Mail Clerks, who pro-
pose to boycott the United States Cover
ment if any of them are discharged, should
think about this before proceeding to ex-

that beautiful little story of the late war,
which is to the effect that as Bragg's army
passed through Kentucky in1862 it was Wig

FRESH FASHION NOTES.


The most fashionable combination OF
color in millinery is heliotrope and moss
green.
Charming gowns for brides have trained
skirts trimmed with hounces of wide en-
broidered silk, intermingled with shell
plaitings of white satin edged with Valen-
ciennes lace.
Coronet bonnets are gaining in favor
Coronets of flowers and beads that are
quite pretty are shown. Moss and fern
leaves, with slightly curling ends, are ar
ranged in this way, and jet coronets are
more sought after than others.
English brides wear pointed Chinese
shoes of white satin, with the instep
covered with fine, rich embroidery in
white satin stitch, the designs outlined
with pearls. The long undressed kid
gloves are decorated with an embroidery
to correspond.
White Milan straw bonnets, simply
trimmed, with clusters of pale mauve or
cream, white flowers placed in high
monture upon the front of theG bonnet.
with narrow satin loops and strings to
match, will form one of the chic and
dainty bonnets par excellence for dressy
wear this summer.
Very stylish and becoming jerseys are
made of extra lightweight stockinette,
very soft and fine, in pale cream color,
trimmed with revers of golden brown
velvet and fastened with row of medium
sized buttons of bronze. The jersey is
short on the hips and has a coat back,
the revers on the postillion faced with
the velvet.
The prettiest hats are decidedly the
Louis Kill, trimmed with bows of black
ruhan, jets, and yellow bird in front.
Sometimes the whole of the crown and
trimming is lightly yelled in white point
d'esprit tulle, and others with black. In
both cases they are very becoming. The
Spanish hat is now covered brim and
crown with pamphlets of jet. On the left
side is placed a large bow of exceedingly
fine Chantilly lace, in the midst of which
are placed pale pink and tea crushed
roses.
Some of the new wraps are chiefly
original as regards the sleeves, tendency
toward the wider shapes being observable.
Some are made with the pagoda sleeves
hanging loose from the arm and display
ing bright colored surah Innings under the
net of canvas materials which form the
sleeves themselves. A number of new
French tea-gowns are shown. with these
sleeves, which have certain grace, but
are by no means utilitarian, but act
further as a hinderance to exertion of
any kind, and make sad havoc with the
delicate egg-shell china and soap-bubble
glassware which go to make up the dainty
adjoining of my lady's grand "high-tea''
table.

er seemed inevitable, and Mr.. Watson
drew his long, keen hunting knife, know
ing that his only chance of escape was to
plunge it up to the hilt into the heart of
the desperate brute, but just as the bear
was almost on him, as he felt the warm,
painting breath on his cheek, one of his
courageous dogs, seeing his masters per
IL, threw himself on the bear, and made
furiouse attack at the brute's throat. As
soon as bruin felt the fangs of the hound
he closed the form of the poor dog in its
powerful arms and crushed the dog SO
that Its back was broken.
By this time Mr.. Watson had his gun
ready again, and a second shot brought
down the monster, which weighed over
400 pounds. When the body was exam
med, SIX bullet holes were found, and
they were all in vulnerable places, too.
But the victory was a dear one to Mr..
Watson, as he sadly gazed at his faithful
dog, which lay piteously moaning at the
feet of the master her had saved Ten
derby was the animal carried home and
cared for, but this morning the gallant,
faithful animal expired, and now Mr..
Watson is inconsolable.

Saved by His Faithful Hound.
T,a1a-.II1 no-aal

Thursday morning Jake Watson went
out to hunt deer, taking six dogs with him.
Very soon the continued barking of the
pack assured him that an animal was at
bay, and judge his surprise when, on
dashing through the thick underbrush, a
gigantic bear was seen fighting with the
dogs. It took but second to bring his
gun to his shoulder, and soon the animal
was filled with a load of buckshot, but
this only made bruin more furious, and
he dashed toward Mr.. Watson with blood
in his eye. A close and deadly encount-
