little Arthur Widney.
The children had been thoroughly
trained, but the stage could not be Oh.
tanned for rehearsal until few hours be.
fore the time for the opening of the fair.
Some little prompting was necessary
| but the piece went off we'll enough To
thoroughly please the audience. II will
be repeated some time later.
The fair was formally opened by DR.,
Williams, who made few remarks, and
then in prayer returned thanks for the
beautiful flowers which were given men
to show the infinite love of the Creator,
He announced that better accommoda.
tions would be made in the future for the
seating of the audience, and explained
that owing to the fact that the building
had only just been finished, the ladies'
had not been able to accomplish quite
all that they had hoped for the opening
night. He returned thanks to the many
ladies who were not members of the con-
gregation who had taken such an active
part in making the fair success.
Rather to give the intending visitors
an idea OF what the fair contains than to
attempt detailed description, a list of the
booths and various rooms may be
enumerated. Beginning at the right of
the main floor, near the entrance to the
other rooms, is the catalogue booth. 1t
should be remarked that no visitor to
the fair ehould fail to purchase cata-
logue as it contains much information
without which he will fail to appreciate
much OF what he sees, Next
is the booth of the entry clerk,
followed by that of the business mana
gers. In the haste of final preparation,
the decorations Of these two booths were
not completed last night. The lemonade
booth comes next, and then one from
which various miscellaneous articles are
dispersed. The dahlia booth is followed
by the two devoted to candy and to soda
water, and these by one in which there
are number of beautiful varieties of
cosmos. A booth Tor special exhibits
stands next in the line, and to this is
added the one where the visitor may
supply himself with buttoniere. On
the extreme left hand is the fancy work
booth.
In the gallery are the booths in which
the curios are exhibited, rich and
wonderful collection worthy of the fullest
description. Beginning at the right
again, the first is devoted to European
curiosities and this is followed by the
others in this order: Syrian, Persian and
Egyptian, American, Indian and Alaskan
Island, and Mexican.
The general art room is located down
stairs, and near to it are the rooms
filled with Japanese curiosities. Up
stairs is the room devoted to local art, IN
which is collected probably the best ex-
hibit of the works Of artists of Los Ange-
les that was ever gotten together.
The fair will be open today during the
day, and in the evening the tableaux
Evenings With the Centuries" will be
given, under the charge Of Mrs. Emma
Hillman.
The ladies wish to make an appeal for
more ivy, smilax and chrysanthemums.
which it is hoped will be supplied.

NEW YORK, May 3.-There will be a
great gathering Of the elite Of Gotham
in the big barn on the Waterbury farm
near Pelham tonight. Ordinarily ideas
of a crowd, a barn, and of darkness com
bined are associated with a mill" but
tonight instead OF an exhibition of Del
~csarlian culture, the attraction will be a
circus. Not an everyday, hum drum,
monster aggregation" circus, however,
but quite a select affair in which the pei
formers are TO be a number Of well
known young society men and let it
be spoken in whispers-women. All the
fea-s and incidents OF a well appointed
circus have been in careful rehearsal for
months, and there VIII be thick mules,
bare buck riders. contortionists, Jug
clers aad wire walkers ad galore. 'Che
chief performers announced include ID.
Cottene,, i. Beach and Marion Story,
but il is whispered that o surprise is IN
store for the spectators, and that il will

Hill belle. Only 800 invitations have
been issued, although they are more in
demand than were the tickets for the
centennial ball.

LINCOLN, Neb., May G-Probably the
first Chinese divorce case ever began in
America was instituted in this city Satur-
day by Colonel Philpot, attorney for
Mary Wing Long, a white woman,
against Joe Wing Long. In 1880 the
girl left her fathers homestead and went
to the neighboring town Of Harding,
Neb., to work in a hotel. BY and by
she was offered better wages to work in
a Chinese laundry. After awhile the
Chinamsn visited her father, and after
several such visits loaned HIM $500, TAX
ing q mortgage on the farm. He then
sought her hand in marriage. He
threatened foreclosure. Her father came
to the rescue, and to save the farm urged
the marriage. To please him she &C
cepted, was married and the debt can
celled. After about two years Of happy
married life, which was blessed with q
little Acknowledged half breed, he tired of
his white spouse and began q systematic
course of abuse, on several occasions
beating her and threatening to shoot her,
and continually neglecting her for the
company of other women. About four
months ago she took her child and came
to this city, where she found work, and
now she seeks relief from the bonds
which her father rather forced her
into.

A Husbands Brutal Crime.

HALIFAX, N. s., May A horrible
domestic tragedy eliminated last night
in Windsor, a town on the Windsor and
Annapolis railway, forty five miles from
this city. James Wilson, who two
years ago left his home in that town,
having had a difficulty with his wife
over her too willing reception Of atten-
tons from one Douglas Carter, returned
to Windsor yesterday morning from New
10rk, where he has resided since leaving
In the evening he visited
MS VIE. Just what happened after
ne entered the house is not
known, as the couple were alone with
TWO young children. This morning Mrs.
Wilson was found in a dying condition.
having been horribly mutiiated by her
brutal husband. An ante-mOrtem deposi.
ton OF the victim was taken by a magis-
trate, IN which she says that Wilson, ON
seeing her, Immediately started a quar-
re-. beat and kicked her numerically
and, getting her down, cat off both her
ears with a jack knife. Information of
the horrible deed was telegraphed to all
the surrounding towns and parties are
searching the woods around Windsor,
out SO far Wilson has eluded his pur-
suers. When caught it Is not improba-
bic that he will be lynched, as the
own folks are mad with Indignation.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-The Amer
can bark, City Of Papeete, Captain Be-
rude, which arrived Sunday brought
news Of q hurricane which swept the
Society islands c0ntemporaneously with
the great storm at Samoa. Captain Be
rude stated that the worst storm eX
perience at Lahti for the past twenty
six yetrs occurred during the early part
of March last. The wind did great
damage to shipping, vessels being com
PEELED TO seek safety in open sea. There
was o a tree on the island that was not
torn bodily from the earth; the streets
are al impossible in the city OF Papeete,
and a general cessation OF business was
experienced.
On the island Of Maltea, which lies
opposite Papeete, the storm was more
damaging, az it was open to the full force
Of the great wind. Great injury was
done to plantations on all the islands Of
the group. Captain Berude stated that
there was no truth in the dispatch from
Auckland several weeks ago stating that
the storm had been accompanied by great
loss of life.

NJ. Cow, an Italian s~avant, has pre-
sented a paper to the French Academy
of Science, in which he claims for Cali
leo the distinction Of having discovered
the microscope as we'll as the telescope.
He has found a book printed in 1910, ac-
cording to which Calico had already
directed his tube fitted with lenses to the
observation of small near objects. The
philosopher himself stated shortly after
this date that he had been able to observe
through a lens the movements Of minute
animals and their organs of sense. In a
letter written in 1914 he states that he
has with his microscope seen and OBJ
served flies as large as sheep, and how
their bodies were covered with hairs, and
they had sharp claws" The discovery
Of the microscope is usually assigned 20
the year 1891, and the invention is attrib.
uted to Drebbel, a Dctchman.

a marriage that was attended with
numerous difficulties because Of the
scarcity of money, came of in Cincinnati
a day o two ago. After paying for the
license (75 cents), the groom had but
25 cents left. He collected enough from
spectators to pay the magistrates fee,
but another obstacle arose. The young
man said that if be did not have a Ger.
tifcate to prove his marriage, the parents
I his bride would not believe the cere-
mony had taken place and there would
be trouble. Another collection was taken
and the certificate vas provided. Then
the couple went away happy. They were
from Hamilton, KY, and had eloped to
avoid the opposition of the bride'sparents.

There is q man in Oxford county, Maine,
who claims great things for one of the
boys in the line of scholarship and says
he has already ciphered from ambition
to chemical features" and is in hopes

'nuctuate in cancellation" Having once
a large rising on his neck which was
very painful, he was persuaded by his
friends to have q doctor called in. The
doctor left ingredients for a poultice to
be made and applied to the neck. The

ing that he would rather it would break
on the inside, 80 there would be no scar,
and when asked by a neighbor what the
doctor called the sore he said it was a
tabernacle"

OCALA, Fla, May Con the Both ult.,
two miles south from Ocsla, near the old
Tampa road, at midday, Eta Burley, a
girl Of 20, while working in a corn field,
was attacked in asaYage manner by one of

ing her down, he proceeded TO use his

would have GiSemboweled her, besides
cutting two deep cuts l~ongitudinally on
her breast. Fortunately the strokes Of
the knife only cut her clothing, when her
father and brother ran to her, and the
latter fred his gun at the would.be muir.

marked before leaving that he had to kill
her somehow. The girl and her family
are respectable, harmless people.
