FIFTH EDITION.


Over two thousand people visited
the Methodist Carnival last night In the
old Eleventh street rink. IL was regu.
lar rush and no mistake. Every suo-
ceeding night brings In now custom,
ere anu sight-seers, and when they get
In they generally leave something be-
hind in aid of Wesley NJ. 7. Church.
Rev. w. q. Rooms was taller than
ever last night. lie almost rubs his
hands in glee at the success Of tho
great carnival about which at first he
had some misgivings. A distinguished
visitor last night was Rev. @. W. Pret-
lyman, a former pastor OF Union M.
Il. church.
The Rev. gentleman ghas dlsarged
his long flowing beard, which has
changed his appearance so much that
many Of his most intimate friends did
not know him.
He enjoyed good many hearty
laughs ut the puzzled looks which
troubled his friends in trying to make
him out A pleased busybOdy In the
carnival Is President A. V. Hy5ore. lie
has worked hard to make 1t success.
l.. j. Dewsnop Of Wesley Is another
hard worker, but there are lots Of them
everywhere and all are doing their
best to boost up Wesley Church. It
Company not the Standard that hns
such splendid exhibition of fancy
work.
1t Is not surprising that the Domes-
tic agent should object to having
his grand exhibit credited to rival.
The exhibit consists of Kensington art
work, portiers in embroidery, draper
les, lambrequlns and bed spreads all
done on the Domestic.
Anybody who supposes there Is
nothing TO be seen in Silyerbrook's art
gallery is very much mistaken. 1t Is
full OF sights. and nobody who visits
the carnival should fail to take in the
art gallery.
When once in they won't want to go
out In n hurry, as there are 50 many
| interesting sights to look at. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. NJ. Field. who personally
oversee the exhibit of their immense
collection of relics gathered by them
in their journey through Egypt and
Palestine, take the greatest oil pleas
ure in explaining all about Thorn.
Their collection of memorial spoons
from European aud Asiatlc cities Is
| immense.
Much could be said in reference to
this exhibit, but space. will not allow
at present. Rev. Mark II. Bowman.
