SISTERS FAIR.
Turner Hall Transformed Into Bower
of Beauty.
First Night of the Fafr. In Aid Of the
Sisters of Mercy-Some of the
Booths-Ladles In Charge.

Turner Hall looked its prettiest last
evening, with the acknowledgements
booths arranged by the ladies who are
conducting the fair in aid of the Sisters of
Mercy of this city. The hall was COM
pletely encircled with pretty booths, and
the young lady attendants were reaping a
rich harvest. For an opening night,
there was a good-sized audience in at
tendance, and during the evening an ex-
cellent orchestra discoursed dance and
concert music
The fancy booth-a very pretty one to
the left of the hall door-is presided over
by Miss E. Wittenbrock, Mrs. Thomas
Fox, Mrs. f. D. Ryan, Mrs. w. S.
Leake, Mrs. j. c. Scroggs, and Misses
Louise Conrad, Annie Harney, Nettie
Hopley, Emma Hughes and Addie
Hughes.
The fish pond-a scene of much merri-
ment-is III charge of the Misses Hickey,
Carragher and Bertha Conrad.
The floral booth is one of the prettiest
in the fair, and is arranged with exQuis-
ite taste in one corner of the hall. 1t is
beautifully-Gecorated, and with such a
group of pretty young ladies in charge it
could not help attracting attention. The
lliiSootS VIII lIidllds5S luIS DOOln are A11u-
ME Dwyer, Lulu Wilson, Lizzie Hal
loran, Winnifred Kaseburg, Mary Kase-
berg, Nellie McMorry ana Mamie Dris-
COLL
Mrs. Maurice II. Sheehan and Miss Ella
Judge have charge of the ice-cream
booth, and it will no doubt be a favorite
spot during the fair.
The cigar booth is in the charge of Mrs.
Willem, Miss Lizzie Long, Mrs. Genshlea
and Mrs. Sharrock, and was probably
patronized more than any other last even
ing. 1t is a very neat booth, and the
gentlemen say the cigars are mot bad %
The lemonade booth is the one that
everybody patroniZes, and visitors con-
gregated there continually during the
evening. 1t is managed by Misses Julia
Day, Winnie DeVine, Nellie Denny, Mary
Mullaney and Miss kogarty.
Mrs. 2. w. Catferty and Mrs Cox have
charge of the candy stand, a very neat
booth to the left as one enters the hall.
The supper table is in the gallery, and
better arranged than at any previous fair.
For trifie an excellent supper is served.
The ladies in charge are Mrs. Cunning
ham, Mrs. Kent, Mrs. Lynn and Misses
Burke, O'Connor and Kent.
The attendance last evening was very
encouraging, and the ladies have reason
to expect that the hall will be crowded
tonight and tomorrow night
Persons who have promised articles for
the supper table for the fair are requ ested
to send them to Turner Hlal or the New
York Bakery, on Third street, between
NJ and n, at their earliest convenience

FACTS ABOUT LEPROSY.
How to Prevent the Spread Of the Dts
ease in the United States.

How to Prevent the Spread of the Dis
ease in the United States.
Leprosy is most common in warm
climates-in India, China, Africa, Mad
agascar. the West Indies and some ISL
ands of the Pacific. But it is not con-
fined to warm regions. 1t is found in
some northern countries.
The disease, though slow in its prog
ress, is generally fatal. 1t assumes
one OF three varieties. The first is
characterized by tubercles in the skin
and the mucous membrane. which at
length ulcerate, while other ulcers are
pendently formed. In the second
variety of the disease the surface of the
body becomes numb and insensible.
while severe neuralgia pains prevail in
wardly. In the third variety, the joints
are specially affected, and the limbs
may be Topped off. though without paia.
at the ankle, knee. wrist or elbow
Leprosy is infectious, and its microbe
has been discovered The microbe has
great vitality, as it has been found in
bodies which had long been dead. The
germs may be introduced into the sys-
tenn by incubation. by inhalation, or
with the food. Every case, therefore,
may become a center of contagion.
Until within few years no concern
has been felt about leprosy in the United
States. But physicians now rightly
sound an alarm. The disease has OBJ
tanned foothold in New Brunswick on
the north, III Mexico and Trinidad on
the south, in California and British
Columbia on the west, and in Minnesota
in the very heart of our country, while
an increasing intercourse with the Sand
wich Islands, and our vast and indis-
criminate immigration are removing us
further and further from our former safe
isolation.
Thus far few persons Of Anglo-Saxon
origin have been attacked. In Canada
and Louisiana it is the French who
have suffered: in Minnesota, the Nor
wegians: in California, the Chinese.
This exemption Is probably not due to
any popularity of race, but to better
living; and with the present strong
tendency to the multiplication and en-
largement OF cities, and with National
growth that may swell our population
TO a billion within century, it will be
no light t. ing to allow this hideous dis
ease to become established among US
Within the last ten years it is said to
have increased fivefold.
What can be done?
First, leprous persons may be pre-
vented from entering the country-as
paupers are now prevented
Second, laws should be enacted pro-
viding for the complete separation Of
lepers from the rest of the community,
in asylums having pleasant surround
ings and every facility for their treat
ment and happiness. Youths Com.

eral thing, incapable Of understanding,
or at least acting on the old, homely
maxim Of throwing sprat to catch a
whale" That is not very elegantly put,
but contains my meaning SO succintlv
that you must pardon it. A physician,
standing at the head of one OF the larg-
est female hospitals III the country, said
to me recently:
II have women come to me to be
treated who. il they had exercised COM
mon prudence and care, would be per-
fectly sound. Look yonder! That lit
tie woman confessed to me that the
trouble that brought her here, and
which nearly cost her her life, was
brought on by walk she took from one
end Of this city to the other-all to save
car fare. Her husband is well-to-do
merchant, but she was trying to save up
enough to refurnish her parlors. and re-
minded me that every cent counted.
SO it does but she saved ten cents that
day, and her bill here will be in the
neighborhood Of S5O0,'
Another in the same institute was
dying OF an injury to her spine, received
while she was carrying scuttle Of coal
up the cellar stairs, all because her hired
man left the day before on her refusal
TO let him have fire in his room. Oh,
that women would learn to have mercy
on themselves. Men may work quite as
hard. but once they arc through with
the days duties, few of them go about
looking for more while women lie
awake at night wondering il there
is not something else they can
take upon their already weary
shoulders whereby a penny can
be saved. 1t will probably be saved.

selves into their graves for some worth

children whose after fate never seems
to enter their heads until it's too late.

BUSINESS GIRLS GOWNS.
What Should and should Not BE Worn
In the Office.

In the Onice.
A busy girl, one who Is out in the
work-a-day world, writing and writing
to keep the accounts of great firm
straight. wrote and asked me what
should advise for business dress. First
OF all, should say let it be quiet. let it
be well-fitting, and let it be Of the kind
that will attract attention only
by its absolute neatness | know the
temptation is very great to put the
money in pretty plaid frock trimmed
with velvet perhaps in silk, and to
wear it for little while for very best,
and then to take it for the Office. This
is the last thing in the world you ought
to do.
We can learn some lessons from men,
and did you ever hear Of man taking a
shabby dress suit for Office wear? Put
your money in frock suitable for busi-
ness, and keep it exclusively for that.
Leave the frills and frivols for the 9TH
er hours, and make your own gown par
take Of the exquisite simplicity Of that
worn by Quakeress. and it will never
offend even when it grows little shah
by. Probably the most useful business
gown is dark-blne serge. 1t does not
show the stains ordnst asqnickly as black
the sleeves will not rub out as would
black cashmere, and the material itself,
being rather rough, doesn' grow glossy.
In buying your material get enough
for new pair Of sleeves, for your
sleeves will certainly be shabby and
worn out before your gown begins to 60.
Now. just remember this, well-dressed
girl. which means girl suitably dressed
for her position. is certain to have more
respect shown her than one who is nn-
tidy and oyerdressed. There always
comes time when the bright colors.
the gay ribbons and the pretty lace can
be Worn. but it is certainly not in the
counting room, in the office or where.
