Y. NJ. G. A. Fair.

The fair given by the Women's Auxil-
larry of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is now under full Roadway at
City Hall. AS we said yesterday, the
booths are very pretty and filled with
great numbers of articles that appeal to
the taste of ladies, especially at this sea-
son of the year. The booth devoted to
groceries and canned goods affords a
capital opportunity to purchase the best
of groceries at reasonable prices. The
rustic ice cream parlor provides the very
best of cake and ice cream. 1t is locat-
ed in the rear of the hall, under the gal
lery. Choice candies fare on sale at the
candy booth, and the fish pond is full of
large, plump fish.
The dinners and suppers served in Re-
ception Hall are most toothsome. Yes
terday there was large number of bus
mess men who availed themselves of the
opportunity to dine at the hall, and they
were very warm in their praises of the
repast. Be sure and go in between -
and o'clock. If you want supper you
can get good one from 6 to s o'clock.

Charles Lamb, the famous au-
thor, wrote a Dissertation on
roast pig and it was one of his
most celebrated efforts.
If this write up of roast pig
would interest the people it
would seem that something on
clothing might also strike home.
OF course we don't pretend to be
i'm the same class with the afOre-
said Lamb, but as he has long
since departed this life of toll
we are at liberty to improve our
work and can take comfort in
the idea, that his writings will
not improve at all except by age.
Our very title of Clothing EN-
braces a good deal. Sometimes,
of course, the person who has
the clothing may have something
to do with the embracing, but
we let it pass. There is a pc
culiar fascination to a new suit
of clothes. Even the youngster
who graduates from kilt to
breeches feels the importance of
the step. 1t may be only to the
knee breeches or it may be to
the dignity of a long legged
sailor suit. The effect is the
same. The boy feels that at
last he is going to be man. The
boy who can rub buttons off
feels that he is doing well but
when he can rip his suit he is
happy. We have a boys suit
that we will guarantee against
any boy, unless he gets run over
by a train, for a common cleo
trio car would have no effect OH
it. It's a SIS 3-pc. suit and we
have called it ssHick0ry" with
tender recOllectiOns Of that
"Hickory Gad' of early days.
Tt WOn'twear or break and it lasts
like a run of i'll luck. Boys
have a trick of falling on their
knees and also of coasting any
banasters there may be in the
house. We get ahead of them
by putting a double seat and
knees in their pants and one
suit will pass from one brother
to another through the family.
Hickory is used for the best and
most enduring i'm wood work. 1t
is used for bicycles. Hickory
suits are one of the few things
which are attractive because
they're tough.
We have everything i'm mems
suits, Oyercoats and furnishings,
boys school caps and the Little
Giant school shoes.
They cost little, they wear like
iron, and you can't do better than
to get a pair for your boy.
Hickory suits and little Giant
shoes are great combination.

OUR HORSES.
Are They in Danger from Imported Dis
ease?-Nelson and the Bicycle sulky,

"There is very little call upon the Cat
tie Commission now to deal with cases
of tuberculosis" said DR.. Geo. HI. Bailey
Yesterday. Occasionally we have a case
or carload of Massachusetts, cattle
needs looking after. But we are having
considerable trouble with glanders.
MANY diseased horses are coming into
Maine from the Massachusetts cite S
where proper attention is not paid to the
extirpation of CHAMBERS. 1t may be that
we shall find it necessary to quarantine
against Massachusetts, horses as well as
cows
s'What do you think of the break in
the trotting records this year, Doc
tor2"
SIT is the bicycle sulky that is doing
it. That pneumatic tire and the ball
bearings make all or nearly all the differ
ence. | believe that the bicycle sulky
has added four seconds to the speed of
every trotter. Nelson has record of
2.10 on first class regulation track with
sulky of the old style. He is easily
good for 2. 06 with one of the new sullzies
on first class track. Have you seen
what wonders he has been doing on the
old-fashioned half-mile tracks? If he
could have trial on one of the fine
tracks he would show what a great horse
he is. But the result of the Alcryon af-
fair has barred him off all the best
tracks. 1t is an injustice; and l think
that he will be reinstated to Associatio n
tracks next year,

Some time ago, Mr.. A. S. Litchfield OF
Freeport bought a horse and gave his
promissory note payable to bearer, in
payment. When the note fell due, the
person who sold the horse to him wanted
the money AS we understand the case,
Mr.. Litchfield said he wouldn't pay the
money until the note was delivered.
Then the other man took the horse. But
we hear that the note has been handed
over, and Mr.. Litchfeld has paid for the
horse. 1t was not case of horse steal

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21st, INSTANT,
the date designated by Congress as the -Four
Hundredth Anniversary of the discovery OF
America has been declared a National holiday.
1t is pre-eminently fitting at this time, when
our Country is lending its energies to celebrate
upon a scale of unparalleled grandeur the great
achievement of Columbus it revealing to the
world the wonders of new continent That this
day so fraught with historic interest, should be
given such an observance as shall serve TO
Undue the minds of the rising generation with
deep and abiding sense of its Importance.
1t has been wisely urged by the National
Educational Association and by the Worlds
Congress Auxiliary of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition that upon this occasion "all the
peoule of the United States unite in a celebra
tion of the anniversary, of which celebration
the public schools of the Republic be every
where the centre" Now, therefore, /, Edwin
C. Burleigh, Governor Of the State of Maine,
do earnestly recommend that Columbus Day
be observed by the schools of our State as a
public holiday and that citizens generally sus-
pend, so far as possible their customary Dusl-
ness pursuits and lend themselves to the cele-
bration of the day, which commentaries the

An Odd Fellow. oda Suit.

John Geiger, member of Court Val. fey Forge, No, 160, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, has three mended places in the bone of one of his legs, and, incl dentally, the second degree in that se- cret organization. Mir Geiger's leg was broken in taking the second step, and he now asks of the Cook county court of chancery that he be paid S2c DOC dam ages, or at the rate of 1888 and the odd cents for each fracture,
 It was about three months ago thai Mir. Geiger went into the lodge, with great expectations of hearing something drop. He had nerved himself for al. most anything except a hospital ambu lance, determined to take the second de. gree or fall through the skyi,ght
 According to his allegations in the bili; Officers James Donohue, John Riordan, John Nolan and others com. pelled him, in spite of his protests, to engage in a mock war, in which blood threatened to flow in lurid streams at any moment. He was compelled to toy with bright, sharp swords, and as last measurement of his courage he was called upon to jump into boiling, soothing lake of fire.
 It was real fire, of course-that is, not English fire, It had been built in the Greek language, as it were, and Geiger shut both eyes and jumped,
 The dull thud occurred ll5 seconds later Geiger went home with second degree in the patrol wagon. He suf. fered from the attacks of surgeon and splints for several weeks, while the lodge paid the bills At the end of that time he compromised on $2OO damages in installmeuts of ten dollars each, After the second installmeut the lodge suspended payment Now Geiger claims to be injured for life, and in asking for $2J,000 damages will make over ail right and title to a second de gree on payment of the cash.-Chioago News

What n Mnnnirnn Is.

A wannigau is a flat bottomed boat, on which a house is built, according to the financial ability of the owner, and many of those on the west were well built and very comfortable and costly furnished Some stand high above the river at it's ordinary stage, and in cases bf hish water are supposed to float. Others were built below the bank near the waters edge and raised several feet by means of blocks and posts. With the water very near the floors mo danger was appreheuded by the occupants, but the current brought down logs end debris.
 Recently the frail underpiunings on one side of some half dozen wanmgans were knocked out, and they iguomin- iously toppled over in the water, piliug furniture, crockery and occupants in confusion. Then the water came in and added to the work Qf desructiQu. The wanuigans might have hoated on an even keel, but they were never built to be launched with only half the ways knocked out.-St. Paul Pioneer Press

Cats of Lonp AeD.

Tho piercing and cutting teeth of some of the cats of long ago are the most per fectly adapted instruments for cutting purposes that ever were seen, being un, equalled by any manufactured tools for such uses.
 For example, there was the 'gompho dus, which was as big as the largest panther and had two teeth in its upper jaw resembling daggers, each five inches in length As weapons for penetrating flesh they are unriyaled among carniv orous animals, recent or extinct They are rather like the teeth of some huge flesh eating dinosaurs, the terrible rep tiles of the Mesoaoic epoch, which had cutting teeth that nothing could resist Doubtless this creature was inconceiNa. bly, bloodthirsty. Quite as fierce, how ever, and even n6ie formidable by req son of its greater size, was the conten porary 'pogonodon, which was as large as the biggest jaguar
 There were two species of this animal which held the field in Oregon during the period l speak of against all rivals It was undoubtedly a great destroyer of life among the herbiyorous beasts. tin. teryiew in Washington Star

Carrier Pigeons In France.

Englishnen, it appears, enjoy in France a curious privilege, which is rig idly withheld from Germans and Bel gians It is that of flying carrier pig eons This, however. as explained by Mir. Tegetmeier in his curious lecture on this subject, Is on the strict condition that both the birds and the senders ure English. In Belgium alone, according to this authority, there are 600, 900 racing birds, which in case of a war would be put at the disposal Of the government and every one of these is a trained bird
 They used, it is stated to train them over the south of France, but that is now interdicted, and no bird from Bel. gium or Germany is allowed to be trained in France. The fear of course is that n the sfsnt of war these trained pigeons would be smuggIed into the in. terior, and thus information could be carried out.-Londou News.
