Fair Notes.

The chief attraction at the county fair
this year, was the fine display Of fast
horses, and in justice to an ardent admirer
of horse flesh, d few notes about Frazier
Gilman S stable would be in order, as he
took a prominent part in the fair races
and did much to make them successful.
Mr.. Gilman as most every body in the
the county knows, has spent much money
and time improving ane training his
stock, and has a splendid track of his
own near Hudson. Mr. Gilman's fastest
horse-Boy Gllman-was not at the fair
this year owing to the accidental straining
up for the fair races. and before the acci-
dent he had shown speed that would have
put him in the 20 list. 1t was very un-
fortunate for this noble animal that he
was unable to prove to all, his superior
qualities, and quite Disappointment to
Mr.. Gilman. This horse is the sire of
all Mr.. Gilmans fast horses and his Off
spring proves that "blood will tell" At
the fair next year, barring accidents and
death, Mr., Gilman expects to see Boy Gill
man make his mile close to 2:2O.
Kittie Knox, the first Of Boys colts ever
shown, who, it will be remembered. took
the prize for the fastest yearling in the
trot at the Canton fair two years ago, and
who, that same year, took second money
in the two year old race at Orange City.
Last year she was entered in the 2year old
trot at Centerville, but the field refused
to start against her, after she had shown
her ability on the track to beat 2:50. Ow-
ing to her rapid growth and great size
for her age, she being now three years old

Stay-at- home.

Rock VALLEY, Iowa.
September Both, 1892.
Mr.. DEAN, EsQ.-In the course of poll
by our respective parties and friends as
opposing candidates for the representative
position of State Senator from Lincoln
county. Individually, we must hold to
some governmental policy that suggests
antagonism in the political and law max
ing arena. 1t your political views are
such as to render you the more fit and
competent to represent the people of Lin
coin comfy in the lawmaking branch of
state government where labor and in
dustry are prime elements interested, you
certainly are in duty bound to go out
among the people and urge such political
faith as proof of your qualification. am
bound by the same rules of firmness and
candor. If the records of your party s
legislation in the past, is such as to justi-
fy a reasonable belief that you can be
trusted in the halls of legislation to
stand by the rights of the farmers, mer-
chants mechanics and toilers of Lincoln
county, as against the interests of monop-
olies at home, and gold speculators both
at home and in Europe, you need not fear
to meet the issue OF face my ability to
controverJ it. On the other hand, if the
records Of the republican party are such
that it may be shown that it has been the
champion Of such monopclcs and gold
spectators, and has legistated millions of
dollars from the pockets Of the farmers
and laborers of America in the Golfers of
European Shylocks, you will be oblidged
to face the disagreeable truth. Ihold that
whatever is the truth, in relation to your
party, admits of confirmation before a
candid people. So, il you are satisfied
that you are right and your party can
stand the test of discussion, l hope you
will not refuse to meet me, laborer, in
joint debate, from, day to day, and thus
let the interested people decide who their
representative shall be. If you see fit to
accept this proposition, please let me
know at once, so can place the matter
in the hands Of our committee to arrange
details. Yours with esteem &c.

P. G. Parke, a gentleman who is known
from one end Of the county to the other
as a solid farmer. an honorable citizen,
and man who has ever stood up for the
best interests of the county. and when
county commissioner, his efforts for hon
est management Of county affairs was
rendered worthless because Edgar Dean
and the other commissioner were against
him. He says that when he retired from
office, Nash had a rllghty rotton bill in,
for $115, which had been refused. but it
was still there waiting for action when he
retired. Mr.. Parke has labored long and
faithfully for good clean government and
decency in county politics, but after the
late repub blican county convention, over
which he presided as chairman, an honor
he did not desire, and an honor which
was given him like man giving dog a
dog u bone because he wanted the meat
himself, was a little more than any gen
tleman could stand, and his friends felt
the insult as sharply. No man in this
county deserved greater honors from the
republican party than he did, but never
asking anything and has never been an
office seeker, and we have known him
since 1872 Clay Parke's high sense Of
honor and decency, could not stand the
ring bosses and slate makers any longer
and he has said to them 'paddle your
own scow, have no use for 1t.

consented to sing again. Both songs are
nameless and were written, the first by her
father, and the second by her brother, and
are natvely sentimental lyrics, such as
would most properly convey illustrations of
the famous Del Sarte throat cultivation.
The singing brought the causerie to an
end, and then Mrs. Schoonmaker an
nounced that guests would be introduced to
Madame Del Sarte in the drawing room. That
lady disappeared through one door, while
her auditors began to move the chairs away
as, in body, they moved toward the other
apartments. A reception of three-quarters
OF an hour in duration was held, during
which Madame received congratula lations and
compliments from everyone.
A little anecdote suffices TO close. which
gives Madame away sadly. When the pict-
uresque figure of Colonel Schoonmaker's
little son Jamie burst upon view, Madame
forgot she was the Del Sarte apostle and the
only living exponent of his system. Her
eye caught the practical leather knee caps
by which American mothers wrestle with
the problem of keeping their small sons and
daughters inside of their hosiery.

runs through the whole range Of being from
the workings of the Godhead down to the
life of the lowest ANIMALS. For instance:
There are three fundamental positions which
nature has given US for the eyes and the eye
brows. The eyes may be concentric-that
is, nearly closed-eccentric. nearly open, or
normal. The brows also may be concentric-
that is, rounded into frown; eccentric,
which means raised, or normal Taking
these together we obtain nine combinations
of eyes and brows, each one with its own
special significance, as portraying condl-
tion OF the mind. So it is with hands, lips,
head, arms, voice-everything."
Manifestations of Her Art.
For one position Madame Del Sarte brought
down her black, finely marked eyebrows
into deep frown. At the same time her
eyelids dropped, showing a double row of
sillzen lashes. This indicates mental dis
quietude, what she calls contention de les
prit. Then, leaving the eyes dropping as
before, she allowed her brows to resume
their normal position. This was drowsl-
ness, or condition of racca blement OF
somnolence. The third position was one
indicating scorn, Mepris, with concentrio
eyes, exactly as in the first two cases, but
with raised or eccentric browS. Ia the next
three positions the eyes remain normal,
while the brows are in succession normal,
concentric or eccentric. thus portraying
moroseness, calm and indifference, these
being fourth, fifth and sixth positions of
the series The last three are pro-
QuceO with the eyes eccentr1c-that IS
wide open-and the brows changing
as before giving f1rmness, stupefaction and
astonishment There's a special position, a
sort of a curtain call trick, which you
needn't waste your valuable time trying to
initiate, as it is impossible to obtain with
out immense trouble. In it the brows are
raised slantingly over the temple, but re-
main unmoved over the forehead. When
Madamoiselie wishes to be vivacious that
is what she must do with her eyes.
In acquiring all this the mirror plays a
big part as everything must be done in the
face of its criticising glance. Some people
accomplish more than others; not uncom-
mon thing, to be sure, ontside of the realms
of Delsartism.
At her lecture yesterday Madame briefly
recounted part of that delivered previously,
and then followed a treat promised but
hardly expected, since it was known that
Madame is suffering from hoarseness. She
descended from the impromptu dais and
sat down at the piano, while a whisper,
''She is going to sing" quickly fol-
lowed by a hush, passed over the audi
ence. 1t would be hard to describe
The Depths of Feeling Displayed
in the singing, for though the singer has no
great compass, she brought in use shades
upon shades of expression that are ordi-
narily neglected. After as energetic an en-
core as woman ever INDUCED in, Madame

rather badly put together and slightly
idiotlc. Madame Del Sarte-the diary
heard of all this, and she came over. 1t
would seem that the diary could talk bet
ter than the leaflets. for the diary is having
the last word, though it had the disadvan-
tage to contend with of a foreign tongue
And this is the story-the why and where
fore of Madame Del Sarte's American visit
What Madame Del sarte Looks Like.
Her arrival in Pittsburg on Thursday was
followed BY her first reception and talk
upon the same afternoon at Mrs Schoon-
makers house, where she was immensely sue
cessful being greeted bv as fine an audience
as was ever collected for similar purpose
In a private house in the city. Madame is a
magnificent looking woman: what is gener-
ally known as a success from her neck down.
Her eyes-well, it NAV have been Del
sartism, but l am inclined to think that
nature had more TO do with them
than Del Sarte. They are magnificent, and
Ii common consent had not already de-
clared her wonderfully interesting, these eyes
undoubtedly have taken care of her. They
are tile one marvellous feature of an eX-
pressiyc though by no means handsome
lace, excepting when it smiles. Then Mad
anne Del Sarte is very beautiful.
o. al that was taught at the two causerles,
nothing was of more interest than the trlune
principle as eNemplified in the various feat
- ures OF the face and the attitudes OF the
body. The following is a careful synopsis of
the theory as given by word OF mouth from
Madame Del Sarte herself:
Let me give you little theoryIlust ior
a moment-on underlying principles. MY
father made the great discovery that nature
Is triune in all her manifestations. There is
unity of action and organization which

Madame Del Sarte has come. and by
o'clock this morning she will be gone. We
have been Frenchy for three whole days. or
pretending to be so. We also have been
Delsartean and have taken to madame our
eyebrows, mouths, faces and bodies, and she
has been their schoolmistress, much to our
satisfaction if not to their Improvement.
You see we cannot buy Delsartism by the
ounce, drink it after shaking it well and be
Immediately affected. Delsartism is about
ss slow and uncertain as the working out of
our own salvation, and L doubt me if
madames visit has done much for us ex-
cepting to make us wish to be otherwise.
Would it not be safe to estimate that
nine-tenths of her audiences were
practicing ''eoncentric, eccentric and nor
mali at their mirrors last night, right
before bedtime?
