A story is told in the corridors of the
Delavan which is "onn Hon. Henry G.. Bur-
leigh, of Whitehall. He was seated on a sofa
not long ago talking with Railroad Commits
Sioner Baker, when a well dressed young man
stopped up to tho telegraph desk and began
writing dispatch.
''See here, Burleigh," remarked Mr., Baker,
suddenly II want to make little bet with
you"
The surrounding politicians pricked up
their ears.
"What aboutr' asked the Whitehall
wizard, curiousy.
"About sure thing, of course" was the
reply. do you see that young man at the
telegraph desk and the nice seal skin gloves
beside hims want to bet you that he walks
off when he has finished his business and for
gets to take those Gloves
Nonsense" was the sage rejoinder. HE
wouldn't forget anything so valuable"
After few minutes chatting the bet was
made and the surrounding group drew
nearer to watch the result Mr. Burleigh
looked sSeptical and Mr. Baker contented
Finally the stranger buttoned his coat and
turned to go, but he left the gloves.
"Hold on shouted Mr.. Burleigh after the
retreating stranger, ''you have forgot
"Sit down, Burleigh,' said Mr., Baker
calmly, "Sit down. Those are my gloveso
Then the watching multitude smiled
moist, GLORIOUS smile, and the bet was paid

The claim of omllisciencc and the assump-
ton of omnipotence are the amusing parts of
a newspaper. 1t is artless and transparent.
The omniscicnce is that of the encyclopedia
and the omnipotence is the frown of Jove.
1t is a stage effect, which is pretty, but
which deceives nobody. The roar is well
done But the performer is not mistaken for
a lion. He is plainly seen to be the excellent
Mr. Snug, who is professionally engaged in
the support of his family The. elaborate
proclamations of the newspapers private
business as a matter of public I'M
portance is another aspect of the same
comedy. The newspaper soberly announces
that after prolonged deliberation it has dc
cided to widen its columns, and that for many
months the most prodigious machinery has
been in course of construction to enable it to
satisfy the demands of its swiftly increasing
host of advertisers, who will have nothing
less than all the conveniences provided by the
most modern science. The newspaper is
gratfled to be able to state that it is now pre-
pared to smile at all rivalry, to outstrip its
esteemed contemporaries at every point, and
to enable mankind to dispense with all other
journals but itself. This is as simple and
childlike as if a great mercantile house should
announce that it had just bought u new set
Of massive account books in Russia leather,
and laid new floors of southern pine, and
added another story to the warehouse. Tho

THE FAIR OPENS.
AuspiciOus Beginning of the Indus
trial Exhibit.
One Thousand People Mt the Rock
island Rink-The Addresses and
Musical Program me-Fine Displays.

1T reminds me great deal of the
Chicago and St Louis expositions, only
on a smaller scale, but no less attractive
and creditable, remarked citizen who has
travelled much and seen a great deal in
the way of American enterprise and in
genuity as he stood in the centre of the
Rock Island rink last evening and gazed
in admiration at the exhibits all about
him. 1t was the opering night OF the
Rock Island Industrial Fair, and the com
pliment which the gentleman paid
the exhibition, was not in the least overs
drawn. 1t is not the least exaggeratiou
to say that the one thousand people who
attended the opening ceremonies last
night were pleased beyond expression.
The fair was a most agreeable disap-
pointment to everybody aud the indlca-
tions are that in good results it will
serge more ends than one. From the
very general interest manifested last
night, it may reasonably be asserted that
the industrial home, the prime object in
view, will receive such starter in the
way of fluid as to establish its erection
in the near future as an absolute certain
ty, Another advantage hardly secondary
to the gain sou hit, is the fact that the
exhibits served as an eye opener for the
public as to the importance of Rock ISL
and as a mercantile and industrial CEN
ire. 1t is question if lof our mer,
chants aud manufacturers did not SUR
PRISE themselves last evening The ex-
hibit was the best that has ever been
seen in western Illinois or eastern Iowa,
and one significant result is to establish
beyond dispute the fact that an annual
exposition in Rock Island, such as has
often been advocated, would be support
ed and appreciated.

A Wonderful Food Medicine

Known and used by physicians all over
the world SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives flesh and strength by virtue of its
own nutritious properties, but creates an
appetite for food that builds up the
wasted body. Il have been using Scott's
Emulsion for several years, and am
pleased with its action. My patients say
that it is pleasant and palatable, and all
grow stronger and gain flesh from the use
of it. use it in all cases of wasting
diseases, and it is specially useful for
children when nutrimeDt medication is

THE EXHIBITS.

The rink presented a strikingly hand
some appearance when the doors were
thrown open at z O'Clock. The interior
had been transposed into small world
of commerce and industry. 1t was a
little city full of life and music and
beauty. That the general committee of
the various labor assemblies and trades
unions participating in the enterprise
and composed of II. Bostock, E. Burial
Jr., j. W. Cavanaugh, Jos. Grotegut,
Jos. Geiger r. j. Evans, James Marsh
A, NJ. Crane, A. johnson, w. T. Clark
T. F. Wheelan and G. Strupp-had been
interchangeable in their efforts to insure
success, was apparent at every step.
To the right as one enters the main
floor, he is impressed with the attractive
ness of Carse & Cos shoe exhibit. con-
tanning everything imaginable in boot
wear and reflects much credit upon that
enterprlsing firm. Immediately back of
Carse & Co. is the display of Simon &
Mosenfelder, clothers, the NJ. r.
Ingleharts marble and granite
works, NJ. Yerbury, plumber and plumb
ers supplies; Stewart & Montgomery,
hardware. etc., and then very hand,
some pyramidal exhibit of the Rock ISL
and Knife and Shear company. This is
deserving of special mention, as it af.
fords something of an idea of the mag
nitude of this comparatively new enter
prise Adjoining this is another in
dustry in which Rock Island has reason
10 take much pride-the Rock Island
Silver Plating Works-and the exhibit
is as handsome as it is novel. A very
interesting feature was the process of
silver plating in operation. Next comes
Mr.. Frank Nadler's drug and chemical
display, an exceedingly pretty arrange,
ment, in fact one of the most attractive
in the hall On one side is the havoring
extract department, where may be seen
in addition to the exhibit of the various
extracts Mr. Nader manufactures, a glass
jar containing the Mexican vermilion
leaves in their natural state, and valued
at $50 in itself. Another unique thing
was an oxy>hydrogen light of Mr.. Mad
ler's own production, while on the other
side is a collection of rare drugs, such as
ssccharine, preparation of coal tar $50
times sweeter than cane sugar, and
probable future substitute for that
Then in the chem.
ical department is seen the de-
composition of water by means of
the galvanic current and hydoginal
oxygen gas. Mr.. Nadler's exhibit is
scientific and instructive. Hoppe, the
tailor, has a fine line of suiungs and
clothes, such as is likely to remind one
that it is about time to be sized up for a
spring suit Mr. ]. Ramser, the jeweler,
has an unusually pretty canopy shaped
stand, trimmed with bright colored cloth
and glittering with jewels of various
shades. He exhibits everything from
