up SO the clothing trade gets
more interesting at Sixth

The new goods for Fall
wear are in, they arc just
splendid, and a few dollars

ALaudable Ambition.

The ambition of every young man
shoulu be to become citizen of the
town IN which he lives, at his earliest
opportunity 1t requires something
besides eating at a restaurant and
wearing fashionable clothes and sleep
ing in a boarding house to become a
first class citizen. II requires some
thing more than eating three meals a
day and having your linen done up at
laundry to become a citizen.
There is one way and only one to
make successful start in life and the
sooner our young men make this start
the better it will he for them. A
start the better it will be for them.
A young man may belong to various
organizations, he moy be popular with
the ladies. be a good dresser, enter
tanning and all that sort of thing, but
a young man is never good citizen
of any town until he owns corner lot
or piece of real estate of some kind,
and with the purchase of the first strip
of ground come his citizenship. Be
gin at once making preparations to be.
come citizen.

SPECIAL FEATURES
or THE CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL Ex-
POSITION, NOW IN FULL BLAST.

Novelties, Attractions and CurIosItIes
Never Before Collected Together-one
Of the Most Complete Museums In the
World.
The Cincinnati Centennial is so large
and Of such q varied character, COM
posed as it is of articles quaint, inge-
NOUS, novel and intricate, from all parts
Of the country, and from every sort Of
industry, that it would be impossible to
give anything like an adequate idea Of it,
so the only way left is to tell the reader
Of few Of the most interesting, leaving
it TO his imagination to picture what the
immense buildings look like when viewed
as whole.
Among the things that attract good
deal Of attention is wonderfully realis-
tic scene of pioneer life on farm. 1t
occupies q space of about four hundred
feet. In one corner is a log-cabin, sur
rounded by stake-and-rider fence. The
lady of the house is hanging out her
washing, and nearby is small boy, en-
joying himself in sport. In front Of the
door hangs a soap-kettle, suspended
from poles, and beneath it burns fire
(gas), which boils the soap. There is a
man plowing in the field; others are
mauling rails; lusty fellows are putting
up log-cabin, and nearby is a camp Of
emigrants for whom the cabin is being
built; q well with a real water-wheel
stands on the bank of the river, which
winds around the fence, and in this
stream colored man is fishing; several
'prairie schooners" come numbering
down the road. In short, there is moth
ing left out of the picture that would add
to its naturalness. 1t is indeed pho
tograph, as it were, of the scenes en-
acted by our forefathers century ago.
The art gallery is the most valuable
ever collected in this country, and is
estimated to be worth 100000. The in

CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL NOTES

The police have made no arrests as yet.
The gondolas are very popular with the
young folks.
Fine musical programmes are being ar
ranged for the future.
Don't forget to visit the log-cabin in
the Exposition grounds
No one who visits the show ever re-
grets the time and money spent.
One mill display in Machinery Hall
turns out fifty barrels of flour per day.
The Life-saving Service in the Govern
ment exhibit is worth riding q hundred
miles to see.
The State exhibits give more in
struction in American history than a
library of histories.
The street illuminations exceed in ex-
tent and variety any display ever before
witnessed in America.
There is no sort of machinery ever
heard of but what you see its counter
part in this Exposition.
The electric lights on the dome of the
uldlA lIhhlDlIAOh 31oAh Seit w oSSA AOk
miles in every direction.
The Commissioners are contemplating
the issuing of family tickets, to be used
in book form, at reduction.
The display in cut-glass and art table
ware is beyond the limits of the imagina-
tion in its variety and unique specimens.
The art attractions in painting and
sculpture includes the works of mas
ters never before exhibited in Cincinnati
| or the West.
If the railroads get into a pretty good
fight over rates, Cincinnati will not be
able to accommodate the masses that will
visit the Centennial
Hundreds of magnificent photographs
of the Colorado and Yellowstone canons,
taken by the Geological Survey, hang on
the walls of the Interior Department ex-
hibit.
In the Ohio University exhibit is seen
the Hipp chronoscope, which measures
time to the thousandth part of a second,
and the velocity of rifle-ban to the
smallest part Of a second.
