"True to these principles the Demo-

Association has attained needs no elabor-
ate recital at this time. IL is sufficient
TO point TO its past record of continued
triumphs. The festival opens on Tues
day, May 90 and continues during the
week, the last concert being given Satur-
day evening, May 26. Among the dis
tinguished vocalists to be present are
Frau Lilli Lehman, who already has q
host of admirers in this city; Nine.
Giulia Valda, who comes loaded with
triumphs from Pavia, Milan, Bologna,
Baden Baden, Nice and Rome. This
prima donna is Bostonian by birth

native land to sing at the Cincinnati
festival only. Messrs. Myron w. Whit
ney, Theodore Toedt and Alonzo H.
Stoddard are names long familiar to
Americans. The local talent will be
most ably represented. 1t is hardly
necessary to mention that Theodore
Thomas will be the musical director and
Louis Ehrgott the chorus conductor.
The knights of Pythias will assemble
in biennial conclave in June, and this
gathering alone, it is estimated, will
bring to Cincinnati hundred thousand
strangers.
The National Convention of Elks will
follow this, then come the Patriarchs

Fourth of July, the Centennial EXPOSE

days.
But these are not the only attractions
which the Queen City will afford during
the coming summer. There are moon
light excursions on the beautiful river;
drives or rides by horse or cable cars and
the incline plane railways in the cool of
the evening through the delightful
suburban villages that skirt the city; the
various hilltop become popular resorts,
and through the close summer nights,
high up above the city, one can enjoy
cooling breezes and delicious lunches,
operas and concerts, and by the electric

The annual banquet of the military

Upon the 9Th of May the National

The curculio is now working sad
havoc amongst young plums, causing
detruction much sooner than fruit
growers generally imagine. The most
effective way of destroying the pest is
to spread sheets upon the grass under
meath the trees and jarring the trees
suddenly with either an ak or mallet,
when the pest will come tumbling
down, when they can be easily Destroy
ed. This should be attended to at once
to save the plum crop. So says an old
fruit grower.
| A remarkable phenomenon was seen
in the Detroit river at Sandwich
Thursday. A few rods from the shore
the water, for what seemed to be the
width of few yards and length of
two miles up and down the river, was
black as ink. The black water made a
figure whose lateral lines were straight
and we'll defined. The remarkable ap.
pearance was witnessed by a great
number of citizens and citizenesses
some of whom thought it portentous
of coming disaster, all acknowledged its
cause to be beyond their ken.
