FAIR ON vARIcK STREET.
Girls Get Up q Fine Affair and En-
rich the Fund 95o.61.

For the past two weeks there has been an
unusual stir among the girls on hing street,
between vartck and Macdougal Drfght-eyed
little misses have been coming and going
from stores and houses, and groups would
gather in doorways, busily discussing some
question OF seemingly grave import.
II all came out ut last Pretty little Flor
enco Cortissos was the head conspirator, and
In her busy little brain she conceived the idea
OF getting up q fair TO help the Sick Babies
Fund
She propounded her plan TO several friends,
and they at once volunteered to help her.
They were Rose and Lille Loghey, Fannie
Welsh and Mamie Gilmartin. These five
little workers at once set about getting arti-
cles for the fair. Friends, relatives and store
keepers were asked TO contribute, and In
few days large stock of fancy articles were
made, such as blnnerets, sachet bags, urns.
&C, while donations OF candy, groceries,
lemons and orders for ice cream poured In
upon them,
Nr. Duncan, an agent for Trinity property,
was enlisted IN the work, and he gave the use
OF the store 1855 VaTick street in which to
hold the fair.
II was opened Tuesday night from T.30 TO
10 o'clock and Wednesday afternoon and
! evening, at which latter time the goods re-
naming unsold were ralIled.
When the proceeds IA the treasury were
counted the n0at sum OF S56.5l was re-
| Vealcd.

morning performance was given at the
Casino, Newport, Wednesday, in aid OF the
Sick Baby Fund, which will add nearly s15o
more to this popular charity.
The programme was a most artistic one.
Jeromes "Barbara was the piece de resist
ance and was marked success, given as 1t
was In full daylight, without the glamour Of
the fOOtlightS.
1t was generally remarked that Miss Mar
guerlte st. John looked as young and charm
Ing without "make-up" as with, O. COmpli-
ment to her appearance, which was far
OutbalanCed by the enCOmiumS paid to her
finished performance by the fashionable
audience, many OF whom remembered her
visit last year with much pleasure, and per-
Sonally cOmplimented her at the close Of the
entertainment. Miss Winona shannon made
a piQuant and pretty Lille and Mr.. Clarence
MOntaine an excellent Cecil.
Eleanor NJ. Beebe gave two soprano solos
with telling eireCt, her excellent voice and
method securing warm applause.
Mr.. +. harrington FoOte rendered Plnsutrs
" Bedouin Love Song" splendidly, and Master
Henry Levy played two plano solos with more
than his usual success He is pupil or Alex
ander Lambert, who deserves as well as Mas
ter Levy the greatest possible praise for his
marvellous training. The programme Will
probably be repeated at Cottage City on Mon
day.
Among many well-known cottagers present
at the fashionable gathering may be men,
toned Mr. and Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, Mrs.
Astor, J. !. Van Allen and party, Mrs. J. P.

HAVE THE BARaBs rNsPBoTBD,

No amount Of good legislation here
after directed towards compelling regular
inspection and other measures 10 secure
the safety Of excursion barges can atone
for the awful result Of previous neglect,
marked by the disaster on the Republic.
But the demand for such legislAtion ID
not the less imperative.
II 10 truly astounding to find. now that
the subject has been called to public At
tention with such terrible force. that such
looseness and lack Of aystem has pre-.
vailed hitherto in the use of SailboAts and
barges for excursions. There has been
absolutely no inspection or supervision
Of such craft. Owners have been al
liberty to let the boats to any persons who
chose TO take them and the accompany.
ing risks.
Officials who are charged with the
duties of looking after the proper inspec.
ton of steam vessels show by the statutes
how they are prevented from interfering
In the cases Of any other floating struc.
lures. At the same time. they declare
their belief that an extension of the in
spection laws so as to cover all classes Of
vessels is necessary.
This necessity should be promptly met
Such costly Lesson as that taught by the
collapse Of the Republic must not be re
peated.

UBELBsB IHoUULATION.

A boy inoculated for hydrophobiA in
DR.. GBIER's institute has died Of
the rabies. No charge is made
that the virus injection caused HIS
death. The question 10 whether such
incubation is not useless. After the boy
had been treated the mother was
assured that she need have no fear as
the child might be bitten any num-
ber of times by mad dogs thereafter
and never get hydrophoblA. On learn
ing Of the death DIR. GIBIER said that
so much virus had been absorbed by the
boy as TO render cure impossible. He
also asserted that out of 25l cases treated
in his institute there had only been one
death.
Statistics show that there Is less than
one death year from hydrophobia III
any State in the Union. although thou.
sands of people are bitten by dogs
It is therefore reasonably certain that
the inoculation of those referred to
by DR.. GIBIER only caused them unneces
Bary PAIN and inconvenience. as they
would not have had the rabies in any
instance.
Experiments which affect the health o!
human beings should only be pushed
where there iB some chance of beneficial

UNIQUE WALL PAPER.

It Is Composed of Envelopes from Q
Young Lady's Correspondents.
"Our house is all topsy turvey. The
paper-hangers are working in every room
but one," said Prospect avenue girl Last
night in the hearing of Buffalo EaQSirr
reporter.
And why one exception?" asked the
young man whose feet were dangling from
the veranda rail and who assumes to aak
questions on all subjects. why don't
you make clean sweep of it and paper
the whole house?"
"Papered the other room myself"
You did ?" cried four voices at once. :,
Yes, and every one of you furnished
part of the material. Come along all Of
you and I'll show you"
There was the room and surely 1t was
oddly decorated. The four walls were
papered with envelopes addressed in oil
manner OF hands and with postmarn
from New York to San Francisco.
For two years this maiden. SO original,
saved all the envelopes which broughi
her letters and when she had enough she
took pot of paste and covered her
walls.
The letters were pasted on in the order
of their coming and made quite serial
story. They are of all shades and sizel
and of several tints and one can easily
trace the regular mails from her constant
correspondents, while here and there
one which has some special significance.
One in black border is from q dear col
lege chum, whose mother had just died,
and not far away is one which brought
the tidings of happy marriage OF an
other chum in distant Italy.

A jersey City patient with cancer is
letting himself die, through his worse
than stupid submission to the doctrines
OF faith cure" The first thought of an
intelligent being, contemplating such q
case, is one that might be brutal,
but almost excusably so. in its
expression. If the law in New York can
reach the poor wretch who wilfully at
tenpts to take his own life, why can it
J not anywhere be applied to the salvation
from himself of such a stubbornly de-
