FairneId.

The only thing here at the present tim e
which demands much attention is the
Fair, which is being held at the rink and
perhaps some of the REPORTER leaders
will be interested in reading report of
it. One can hardly imagine themselves
in the old skating rink when they enter
this large room which has been made so
handsome with its gay coiored booths and
beautiful embellishments. 1t is seated
with new opera chairs made by the Maine
Manufacturing Co. and designed by ]. f..
Cotton for "Our New Opera House"
lighted with electric lights and the stage
has electric foot lights which add very
much to the effect There is everything
one could think of on sale Gucsscs are
running high on the stone wringer and
lamp while on the set of dishes they will
not be bit behind The Japenese booth
la attracting much attention and sales are
reported as good Everyone is very
much in love with the Doh table and the
fancy booth is very handsome and on ii
may be found things too numerous to
mention, from small fancy basket to n
pair of blankets. The pcrfnmery booth
will come in for its share as will the candy
ana apron tables The art table is show
ing many beautiful things but it would
be impossible to give a description of one
quarter of tie many elegant things to be
found at this fair one must see for them
selves. Tuesday night IA large crowd was
present and very apprecatve audience

Senator Blair's educational bill has
passed the Senate by SO to 20. This
measure has passed the Senate before
several times, but failed in the House as

1t appears that the alleged interview
with the Hon. j. H. Marley recently pub
lished in the New York World and tel
egraphed over the country, did that
gentleman injustice. Mr.. Manley writes
the following letter to the New York
Tribune:
To The Eiitor Of the 7ifJURe;
Sir The interview published in "rhe
New York World" of February 10th does
me great injustc. What | stated was
that the letter of Mr.. Blaine meant just
what it said and was sincere in every
word that it was, rs far as Mr., Blaine
was concerned, a perfect and absolute
declination and n withdrawal of his name
from the Chicago Convention. | never
stated that it was not final, or that he did
not decline the nomination, or that | was
in constant communication with him. !
did state that | know from the members
of his family that he was in perfect health
and that he had not been sick an hour
since he left home, with the exception of
Il slight cold contracted in crossing the
Alps, and that all this talk about Blaine's
poor health was nonsense, | also adde d
that | believed (and this was simply my
own personal belief that he was the
strongest candidate the Republican party
could nominate, and that If the Repubi-
cans should with unanmity nominate
him at Chicago | did not see how he could
decline. do not in any way speak for
Mr.. Blaine and | never pretended to.

many of them should have special men
ton. Myles Ma Coppaleen was great
hit and was very popular with the audi
cnce from first to last. Hardness Cregan
was played with reality not often seen
on the -tage unless by professionals. In
the scene with Danny where he refuses to
have his wife sent away he is particularly
fine and has hearty applause Danny
Mann the poor hunchback as played by
John Harris was inimtable. His make
up as well as the acting was perfect. In
the death scene and the confessional he
took the house by storm. Father Tom
was very digniiied priest and sustained
his part throughout. Ely 0Connor cap
tured the house at first and deserves more
then passing mention. She understood
her part, was sharp, modest, loyeable and
true to the role, aud with her songs she
charmed the audience and in the drowning
scene the applause was tremendous. Mrs.
Duren as Mrs. Cregan was among the
very best, her make up good and acting
real. Some parts were very fine especial
ly where she learns of the arrest of her
son. She well deserves the hearty APP
plauSe which greeted her. In Annie
Chute we find character which delight
ed the audience and which was acted to
perfection. Mrs. Cotton in this part
shows a great deal of tact and humor and
received the appreciation of the entire
audience. Kyle DAILY, her lover, play
by Mr.. Goodwin was a good match for
her and in some parts he brought down
the house. Sheelah, the old lrshwomau
was the great hit of the play and received
applause loud and frequent. In the scene
where her. son Danny is dying, one could
but imagine himself in the midst of gen
une Irish wailing. The costumes were
new and appropriate to the play. New
scenery painted for the occasion added
much to the interest. Much of the sue
cess of the play is due to John Cotton
who acted as stage manager.
Wednesday evening there will be a
entertainment under the manage
ment of Prof. J. T. Murray. Thursday
there will be a short stage entertainment

BuYinR Cigars In Russin.

To get cigar anywhere in Russia you
must buy whole box. IL frequently hap
pens. however, that the whole box contains
but one cigar. Boxes are never broken, and
the purchaser can make examination of tho
weed only through the glass cover You
cannot tell till you buy and are permitted to
break the seal just what the article is
Every box Of cigars or cigarettes has glass
lid or cover, and you can see the article you
purchase, but you cannot feel or smell it,
Generally when you ask for a cigar large
box is handed to you. This has cover Of
glass so large that you can see well what the
article is. When you have selected the
quality desired from number of boxes laid
out for inspection, you make known how
many you desire, and the dealer-the 'tobac
fabricker gives you a box containing the
exact number Thus boxes of one, two,
three five, six, etc, are made of every quail
ity Most Of the cigars are very bad-the
domestic manufacture generally intolerable
and the price is high.
This mode of guarding against evasions Of
the high taxes on cigars has been followed a
long time. 1t grew out Of the proposition
laid down by Ivan the Terrible, Peter the
Great and other cars, who held that all Rus
slams were thieves and should be watched
have heard q Russian proverb which de
clares that "Our Savior would rob also if
His hands were not pierced" The guard

close. While nearly everybody smokes, very
few chew, and chewing tobacco is rarely

A Sensational Marriage Abroad,

Helene de Rothschild, the strong headed
young woman who married in spite Of her
folks wishes, has begun to repent, and may
already be held up as horrible example to
insubordinate young women. She was very
rich, as her father had died when she was
baby and had left her millions She made
up her mind, although she was very stout,
that the Dutch Baron Zuylon loved her for
herself alone She delied her folks, drew
&C, 900, 600 francs out of the bank for current
expenses, bought fine big house, and went
TO take up her abode at the house of the
family doctor, and married the baron from
there. 1t was grand and sensational, and
Paris admired it very much, though mothers
regretted the bad example
Now, they are glad, for the Baroness
Zuylen and her husband, just back from
Spain, do not present the picture Of perfect
harmony with which they left the house Of
the family physician. Helene, the very stout
young baroness, finds married life, especially
housekeeping, bore, and has adopted n plan
for Kidding herself of worry that will strike
deep to the hearts of the advocates Of
women's rights She has made the baron
housekeeper, and allows him $4,000 francs a
month to meet expenses. He can manage as
he likes, but everything but her private ex-
penses must come out of the $1,000 francs,
including the wages Of the cook and other
servants, the market bills, his own tailor
bills, etc. Paris, which enjoys such things
very much, spends much time celebrating
funny schedules of Baron Zuylens probable
expense account. The fun will not last long,
as the stout Baroness soon starts with her
husband and her millions for Nice. Paris

1t appears that amid the incessant changes
which have taken place in the personnel Of
the French Third republic, there Is one dis
tnguished parsonage who manages to hold
his post. Presidents may come and go, min
istries may rise and fall but the chef Of the
Elysee palace remains to console all parties
with his good cheer. The family name Of
this important functionary is kitchen secret,
which may some day be divulged At present
he is known only as "Le Bel Alfred, and the
rival Of Gambetta's famous "Trompette."
His salary is fixed at 1900 francs year,
and he is allowed to make perquisites. Under
n. Grevy he was not able to ''faire danser
