Tie Fair at the Pavilion.

All who have attended the fair thus far
have been well rewarded. 1t is conceded
to be one of the most sociable and enter
tanning affairs of the kind that has ever
taken place in the city. The ladies IN
charge have been indefatigable in their
efforts to make all visitors feel at home,
and those who attend once are generally
found there each evening thereafter. The
attendance increases, and there is likely to
be a jam for the remainder of the week.
The department of Justice" is as popular
as ever, and movement is on foot to deal
little of it to the ladies as well as TO gen.
tlemen. Mr.. Ennis. of the State Land
office, made an excellent Judge, bat he will
have TO vacate as soon as the ladies are
brought up as cuIprits, on account of his
Partially for tn fair sex. The Fist Ar
iillery Band enlivened the occasion in a
manner which shows its thoroughness and
popularity and it may be said to its
credit that its services during the week
have been almost donated 20 the manage
ment.
Tonight Hon. Stephen NJ. White, Presi-
dent of the Senate, will deliver a short adj

Now, Iet's see what we have:


We have that 81, 379, 762, and every dollar
of it you would have to pay had it not been
for the untirins efforts of this Bonded Com
mission in your behalf
Judge II. o. Beatty, another member of
the Funded Debt Commission, said that
one reason urged by some for the necessity
of new charter was an assertion that the
collection of city taxes could not be en-
forced. t. J. Clunie was sued for taxes
He set up as a defense that the law OF
1861 was repealed by the codes. Another
defense was that two lots had been
assessed together when the law says they
shall be assessed separately. The Supreme
Court decided that the law of 1861 was in
force, but the Assessor had been in error in
assessing ard the city lost the case We
have always c1llec ed our taxes and can
continue to DO 50. Some lawyers claim
that the Funded Debt Commissioners can
be continued under the new charter, if
adopted. Icon't think so. That is a ques-
ton between lawyers and we have no
tribunal to decide it. A new charter would
wipe out ali Commissions. Some are in
favor of abel shing the Commission and
then refunding the debt at per cent. The
interest the past year on our debt
was $4,000 and the debt will be
wiped out in ten years. There are out
standing 81 002 900 which would have to be
refunded at 4 per cent, snd over 100000
past due coupons, or in round numbers we
would have 10 refund 81 400 coo. Now the
interest on that sum at / per cent. is $50, 600.
Which is the cheapest, $50, goo or $50 600?
There is $3.50 700 of the debt that will in
four years cease TO bear interest. -Four
years from to-day We will have no interest
to pay. Which is the best, to be out OF
debt of paying interest in four years or to
pay double interest tor thirty years?
would be in favor of q new charter, were il
not for the public debt. I AN not in favor
of giving 81 900 600 for it,

Miss Kate Mayhew's presentation of the
"Jealous Wife" last night was a great i'm
provement-a surprise indeed 10 all pres
emit, who saw the company the first night
The nervousness was over, the inaccuracy
of reading corrected and the charming old
comedy went mer.ily enough to satisfy
good taste. Miss MAY hew has capacity for
higher comedy Of an order that commands
recognition and will put her in a very
much more prominent dramatic position as
she advances under the spur of ambition.
To night Miss May hew returns to her old
field of triumph, and will appear as
Fanchcn. In that character she is the
rival of any, and gives to her persoDation
originality, that in several respects makes
il The treat given. In this drama, which
so strangely mingles humor and pathos,
Miss Mayhem will have the support OF
! Mrs. Sara Stevens, one of the most COM
petent old woman" actresses on the
American stage. There is every reason to
expect tonight dramatic performance
hat will well repay the auditor, and it may
be taken for granted that The Cricket y
of Miss Mayhem will impress all who see
her in the role rs one of the most effective
examples of acting of the dsy.

The subject covered the most dramatic

The lecture was fitting second in the
course of the Lecture Association so brill
iantly inaugurated by the Boston Quintet
Club few weeks ago. The President OF

livered by Bishop Henry Warren of the
