A NEW DEPARTURE AT THE
FAIR.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS PRESENT
THE BEE SCRIBE HAS HIS FUN

The interest manifested by the
pleasure loving public in the Ga
dets fair, is on the increase. Dur
ing the present week large crowds
have visited the fair every even
ing and the polite attendants have
been kept unusually busy serving
customers
Genial Sergeant DOdson, who
has developed remarkable talent as
groceryman, has smiled this
week as perhaps he never smiled
before. Even Apjutant Smith,
whom the boys have dubbed the
sphinx, was surprised into a hear
ty laugh on Tuesday night the IL,
by one OF Bakers original puns.

keep. Smith was standing near
the supper table looking solemn,
dignitied and hungry, when our
witty friend Baker asked him if he
| could tell what town in the State
of New York was like the "Premis-
ed Land.' Smith thought for a
moment and then he answered ln
true Boston style. "Mr. Baker,
he said, "the frivilous and oIeagi-
nious utterances that proceed from
your organs of speech are too per.
exiguous to be worthy the notice
of minds engaged in investigating
the PHILOSOPHICAL and metephysi-
cal phenomena of our species.'
This was poser but so soon as
Baker could get his wind he came
up smiling and said, "weII Smith
will tell you. Canandaigua is the
town." Smith looked blsnkly at
him. "You doD't see it?" said
Baker. "Well that is strange, be
continued, because it is so plain. J"
You just strike off the "daigua"
and change the Canaan into Canaan
and you have it. "See." Smith
did see aud laughed until his sides
were sore.
Speaking of Tuesday night the
1lth inst, that was a gala night
for the boys. A number Of promi.

something should be done to en-
courage Major Fleetwood in his
successful effort to build up a first
class military organization aud
secure for that organization the
most spacious, comfortable and
beautiful quarters IN the country,
prepared circular letter calling
attention to the success Major
FleetwOod'S battalion had met
with at home and abroad and set
ting forth that it was the duty of
all good citizens to help sustain
such an organization. The letter
concluded with a very cordial invi-
tatlOn to the friends of the Major
to visit the fair and inspect the
new armory Tuesday evening
March llth. To this invitation
there was a hearty response.
Washington's best citizens were
out in force. Teey we're both
pleased and surprised at the beau
tiful sight that met their gaze as
they entered the fair room. It was
as one gushing young lady said,
"like some of the gorgeous oriental
scenes so wildly pictured in the
Arabian Nights"
After inspecting the various ar
ticles on exhibition and for sale,
the distinguished visitors we're
escorted down stairs to inspect

loud in their praise of the almost
perfect arrangement of everything

at revolution. Gen. Bogran was not at
the capital when the emeut occurred. but
as soon as the news reached him he hastened
to the vicinity of Tegucigalpa, and began
to organize force for its capture. Sol
diers from other departments were called
to his assistance, the people rose in his
favor, and the Americans rallied to mis-
standard from all points of the republic,
bringing with them their Winchesters.
On Nov. Is the troops of the president
recaptured the palace after a stubborn
fight, in which the Americans bore a con-
spicuous part On Nov. IA Fort Teona was
stormed. The arsenals and barracks were
carried by assault On Nov. Is, Gen.
Sanchez escaped from the city, bat was
promptly pursued, captured and shot, thus
ending brief, bloody and hopeless revolu-
ton.

DOCTORS INDoRSE THE DIsCOVRRER
To-mOrrow's number Of the German
Medical Weekly will contain an article
signed by Drs. Bergmann, Fraentzell and
William LesIy, and Staff Surgeon Coehl, in
which they declare that, after experiments
in many different cases they are prepared
to fully indorse Prof Koch's statement re-
garding his remedy.
THE STOCK OF LYMPH EXHAUSTED.
Some OF the evening papers warn the
public against the illusions entertained by
many regarding the efficacy of Prof Koch's
remedy. They also complain that the stock
or lymph is being exhausted.
The Tdgebldtt says that Prof. Koch,s
procedure SO far is open to severe criticism,
because he has only given his lymph to q
few collaborators whom he could thoroughly
trust to follow his instructions, hile the
great scientific establishments and hospitals
are excluded from the benefits of the dis
covery.
THE DISSATISFACTION JUsTfFIABLE,
The Tugebldtt considers that the dissatis-
satisfaction among medical men and many
patients who are anxious to submit to the
treatment is quite justified, and declares
that the present arrangements must be
altered.
The demand for the Koch syringes is SO
great that the manufacturers are unable to
fill their orders.
Prof. Koch asserts that recurrence of
tuberculosis after treatment by his method
is extremely rare
