Everybody took kindly to the idea of an
tertainment al the Opera House for Thanksgiv-
ing night and long before the program was
rendered the sale of tickets had to be stopped
The hall was filed to its utmost capacity and it
is safe 10 say that majority of the families in
town were represented. The program was
varied and attractive and the numerous partic-
ipants performed their parts well The subject
was an exact description of the characters of
the entertainment. which consisted of tableauX
recitations and songs descriptive OF Or appro-
pirate to each day of the year coming under
the head of Sunday, the holidays and all other
days of special commemoration or observance
either by the church or the people generally.
While a detailed criticism of the performance
is not within the purview of this notice, we
think the appearance of little Howard Seymour
as Captain Cupid worthy of particular mention.
as he almost persuaded the audience of the
reality of this mythical elf. Many of the num-
bers were encored and the hearty applause ac-
corded each rendition attested the enjoyment of
those present. The entertainment was great
success in every way.

Saturday. had this to say of their performance at
Music Hall, on Nov. 27.
The McGibeny family of fourteen people ap-
peared in Music Hall last evening before large
audience. The entertainment given by the COM
pany is unique and pleasing. The entire family
constitutes an orchestra and band. Each mem :
Der is proficient upon some instrument and all
are singers. Leo. the youngest member. is the
comedian of the troupe. He looks no more than
years old. but he sings. dances, plays the big
drum. and appears in character sketches. His
voice could plainly be distinguished in all parts
of the hall. The program was made up of solos,
duets. quartets. quintes. etc., and all given
acceptably.

We were inadvertently the auditor of very
interesting matrimonial proposal on Main
street the other day. From the convers alton
overheard we concluded that the gentleman
was citing a previous matrimonial record as
proof of his ability to satisfactorily act in the
capacity of husband. The lady stood gravely
listening to his entreaties and nodding her
head in approval as he pointed out his good
qualities and qualifications. evidently a willing
listener. We shall scan with interest the future

The Columbian Worlds fair manage.
ment ut Chicago has at last got matters
into promising shape, and not a day too
soon. It is only when one reviews the his
tory from the beginning that he gets any
idea of the difficulties overcome. There
has been II fight from the start, first
between sections and then between states
and cities incidentally between political
parties in the same state and then in con-
gress, and finally between committees and
advocates of rival sites in Chicago
In 1885 the directors of the Interstate
exposition ut Chicago adopted this:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense Of this meeting
that great Worlds fair should be held in Chi
cago in the year 1892, the four hundrcdth ami
versary Of the landing of Columbus in America
St. Louis promptly objected that she had
already taken the lead in the matter, but
Chicago went on with her organization to
secure the governments aid. Several con-
gressmen then declared in favor of Wash
ington as tho place. New York also made
an earnest plea, and other cities followed.
There was unreasonable delay, and not till
1880 did congress begin to move; then the
bill was referred to the committee on for
eign affairs. and rival cities began their
arguments. New York, as usual, iran it
into politics" and waited too long for the
state legislature to authorize the appro-
priation of SO 0.0oo,o0o for the work
Feb. "a last the house of representatives
gave the fair to Chicago Eight ballots
were taken, the last resulting: Chicago,
157; New York, l07; st. Louis, o5; Wash
ington, 49, For long time it seemed as
II no progress was being made, and New
York had many witticisn on Chicago;
but now it appears that much was really
being done. On the 9th of April the final
incorporation papers were made out; on
the 18th the completed bill passed the
house at Washington. on the 2lst passed
the senate, and on the 25th the president
signedit. May 20 he appointed commission
ers at large; then the long fight over the
site began, only to end the second week In
September BY the adoption Of the parks
known as Jackson and Washington.
Since then all the different boards and
committees, national, state and local, have
announced their satisfaction; committees
on building and classification have been
appointed, plans submitted and n good
deal Of the work Of preparation done.

Some years ago the Chicago Historical
society undertook the work OF marking
with appropriate tablets the sites Of struc-
lures prominent in the early history Of the
city. This commuudnble lecXamplc has been
initiated recently by the Holland society Of
New York city. The places SO far iden,i'
fed by the associations generous zeal are
the site Of Fort Amsterdam, built in lJ2G;
the location of Fraunce's tavern, where
Washington delivered his farewell address;
the spot where the first habitttionS Of
white men on Manhattan island were To-
Gated; the site of the first Dutch house of
entertainment; the site OF The first New
York exchange; the site OF the old Middle
Dutch church; the site OF the Delaney

act was signed, and the place where stood

4 Picturesque Wedding.

The marriage of Mr.. John Kenneth Mac
kenzie and Miss Fannie Locke at Chicago
the other evening was not only a fashion,
able event, but was also marked by several
novelties of detail The ceremony began
In Grace Episcopal church at s p. IN. The
bride and groom were preceded to the altar
by n surpliced ncolyte bearing q crncifX,
and conducting a band Of scvcnty-eight
choristerS singing the wedding march and
bridal chorus from '1.oheugrin." The
bridesmaids wore white satin gowns and
green satin slippers, and upon the right
shoulder of each were displayed the colors
of the Mackenzie clan.
Miss Iockes costume WIS of the couveu-
tional sort, save that she had slippers of
silver with Rhinestone buckles i'll imitation
of the footgear worn by Dorothy Tenant
when she became Mrs. Henry NJ Stanley,
Tie service began at the conclusion of the
bridal chorus. After the Introductory
prayer the choir sang an English anthem
never before heard i'll the United States
"1he blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
and he nddeth no sorrow with it: the Lord
prosper you, we wish you good luck in the
name of the Lord"
The big choir, the Rhinestone slippers and
the imported music were the new features
Of the occasion. The remainder of the
ceremony was conducted according to the
usual forms. Rev Clinton Locke, father

Those purveyors to the summer resorts
of America who contemplate making CAM
els an attraction Of the ocean beach next
year will doubtless be interested in the
news that the town council OF Brighton,
England, has refused to allow the presence
of these animals ut that wntering place.
Tho camel, it was declared by the authors
OF the veto upon his advent, may be an an
imal whose peculiarities are full of interest
to the man Of science, but it cannot be said
that he is suitable for general riding. His
temper is uncertain, his appearances ludl-
crous, and his movements unduly remi-
nscent of the switchback railway. In
deserts camels are Indispensable; in cir
cuses and meuageries they frequently COM
port themselves with becoming dignity.
But if they were brought upon the beach
of n fashionable watering place, and made
to listen to the banjo Of the Ethiopian SER
enader and the braying trumpets of the
town band. there is no saying Of what ex-
cesses their emotions might not make them

Salt is at present produced by means Of

ing to circumstances and the equality of the
salt TO be produced. It's manufacture nee
essarily requires !. large area and an enor.
nous consumption OF fuel to maintain the
salt at the boiling point in order to secure
the precipitation of the salt more or less
rapidly, according to the quality required.
For example, II salt pan twelve yards long
and two aud half yards wide-thi,ty
square yards-exclusive of the brickwork,
is supposed to run about forty tons of salt
per week. DR.. Pick, who is one Of the
highest authorities on the subject of salt
production, has, however, invented an
economical process for evaporating liquors
containing salts, aud for separating the
salts from them. BY means Of this appa-
ratus, which covers thirty-five square yards,
it is stated that COO tons of salt can be pro-
duced per week.-New Orleans Picayune.

meaning by this that they cannot maintain
vision for near objects without becoming
tired or producing headache. They can see
perfectly at a distance, but their focusing
is overtaxcd by near objects; therefore
they must supply this deficiency by IL con

"On the other hand person may be near

has to use the opposite kind of glass; that
is one with a concavc lens. These are the
two chief and important Elnsses, and they

years before the Christian era. and it is II
matter Of history that Nero had defective

not certain whether this stone was used
as mirror or n lens. Genuine spcctacles
did not appear until more than twelve

important articles they came to the surface

In the Fourteenth century spectacles were
frequently used, but only by the very
wealthy, and being highly priced. were
bequeathed with elaborate care. In 1900
they were made in Holland and Germany,
