AT CITY HALL.
The knights of Pythias Fair Goes Gaily
On With Large Attendance.

Considering the condition of the wealth
er, there was good attendance at the
fair last evening. The parlor entertain
ment, an allegory, entitled The Artists,
consisting of six tableau and two speak
ing parts, passed off well, and was much
enjoyed by the audience. The ludicrous
farce which followed entitled s"The
Boarding School," was well rendered
and applauded literally.
In looking over the hall and noting the
different booths and departments, one is
at a loss to decide which contains the
most attractions. Each booth is varie-
ty store in itself Of course the observ-
atory, which is the property of Munjoy
Lodge, is the first thing which meets the
eye upon entering the hall. The silk
quilt displayed here has centre square
on which is painted picture of the OBJ
servatory, which is fine miniature of
the booth. They have four dolls to be
voted on, toilet set has been received
from Mrs. Ida Pierce, and they also have
a fine cake.
Rocky Hill booth has pretty basket,
given by Mrs. Pike of Deering, and the
beautiful picture displayed in this booth
is admired by all who examine it. The
pastel pictures are selling rapidly. Mrs.
Irish is taking orders.
The Eastern Toilet Company has fine
display of their goods, the well known
toilet preparation, Century Cream. The
entire proceeds Of this display go to the
fair.
The two monographs afford much
amusement, the fish-pond and
flower booths are well patronized, and
the candy and soda booths do rushing
business.
Mr.. Pierce, of the Welcome Soap Com
pany, and his six young lady attendants,
are kept busy all the time, and will be
much pleased to show you the gold
watch and oil painting which they are
trying to dispose of.
The trades booth has received an order
from Sargent 6 Dennison for ton of
coal.
The ladies' committee wish to express
their thanks to Mr.. Flaherty, the janitor,
for the kind assistance which he has
rendered.
Friday the Pythian Sisterhood, assist
ed by the ladies of Longfellow Lodge
will furnish the dining room. The mem
bers of the SisterhSod are requested to
send food upon that day.
Tonight the drill by the 100 young la
dies will be repeated.

PROBABLY BiELA'S COMET.
In Two Weeks win Be Many Times Lar
ger Than the Full Moon.

The PRESS the other day, speaking of
the comet discovered in Andromeda,
November 9th, by Holmes, said that
Professor Berberick of Berlin believed
that this comet would prove to be Bic
las comet which has not been certainly
recognized since 1852. Professor Lewis
Boss, of the Dudley Observatory, finds
from his calculations that this comet is
doubtless identical with Biela's, and pre-
diets very close approach of the comet
to the earth November 18th.
Assuming, as results from the calcula-
tons. that on November 18th, the comet
was 13,50o,000 miles distant from the
earth, the diameter of the outside nebu-
losity of the comet would be about &c.
900 miles. 1t is probable that the comet
will rapidly grow in brightness, and that
within two weeks it will appear many
times larger than the full moon.
The comet can now be seen with small
telescopes, and will be found about two
degrees west of Mu Andromeda.

THE STORM.
1t Was Visitor from Hatteras-Hard
Times for the Coastwise Steamers
Observer Jones Said Last Night that
the Outlook Was Still Squally.

Yesterdays storm was a severe one.
The high northeast wind during the
night, and yesterday forenoon raised a
heavy sea, especially bad for vessels
coming from the westward. The storm
started in the vicinity of Hatteras Tues
day morning, moving northeastward
slowly. At a. m. yesterday the storm
centre was at New York, and last night
it seemed to be here. The rain was
very high, reaching IS miles an hour
yesterday forenoon and the first part of
the afternoon. A 25-rnile east wind is
counted dangerous at sea. The rain al
SO fell heavily, half an inch falling in
the night and over half an inch from s
a. m. to p. m. yesterday. When it is
remembered that only about an inch and
a half of rain fell in the whole month of
October, it will be seen that it was a
smart shower.
Last evening the barometer in the
Weather Bureau offlce was very low.
and Observer Jones thought it doubtful
if fair weather would get along today,
although it might. 1t was very stormy
all over the nation yesterday, except
spots in the extreme South and West.
The steamer Portland left Boston for
Portland at the usual time Tuesday
night; but on getting outside found it
so bad that she had to put back. She

to Boston again during the night. The
fremont, which left Portland Tuesday
night, went with the storm getting along
all right. The steamer Sagadahoc start
ed out of the Kennebec as usual on her
way to Boston, but was forced to put in
here where her SO passengers were
transferred during the forenoon. The
Sagadahoc lay at anchor in the lower
harbor all day.
The schooner P. W. Sprague, from
Baltimore, with coal, arrived just ahead
of the storm, having been ashore on a
Chesapeake Bay oyster bed, where she
was lightened of $50 tons.
In the city no great damage was done.
Two chimneys were blown from house
on Danforth street occupied by Michael
Muihearn. The high wind wrought haV-
oc with swinging street signs.
Over on the Cape shore the easterly
gale drove the waves high up on the
rocks and the surf was very fine.
In the harbor all day yesterday there
was heavy undertow that made the
vessels at anchor dance around in great
shane

4 Warning to sheep Owners.

Mr.. E. N. Perry, as agent of the State
Society for the Protection of Animals,
has sent to the Washington county pa
pers for publication there, notice to all
men who are keeping sheep on islands
without protection for them, that shelter
and food must be provided for such
sheep within 80 days, or prosecutions
will follow. On the islands off Eastport,
Harrington, Jonesport, and other places
near there, many sheep are turned out.
Their owners visit them only in shearing
time in June. The rest of the year the
sheep have to look out for themselves.
It is said that on some of the islands
they are often so pressed for food that
the trees are found with the bark nib
bled off as high as sheep could reach
by standing on his hind legs.

PORTLAND POST OFFICE.
An Interesting Machine To Be Used for
Canceliing Stamps.

The Portland post Office has just receiv
ed an electrical stamping machine, to do
the work of the man with the hand
stamp. The letters are fed into the
machine sidewise, just as they are
stacked; the machine seizes each letter
individually and puts upon it the row OF
long parallel lines such as are seen in
letters from Boston, where the machine
have long been in use. The machines
will do work very fast. Of course if
letter is not stamped in the accustomed
corner, it has to be turned to fit the
machine or stamped by hand. But AS
sistant Postmaster Sanborn says that not
one letter in thousand has the stamp
anywhere but on the upper right hand
corner.
Other Improvements are to be made in
the post office. New letter cases are to
be put in, and the cashiers department
is to be separated from the main office
by a glass partition, instead OF by the
wire fence as at present.

The OWL War,

Such was the title Of Professor Tur-

lecturer, and the many scenes thrown
upon the screen by the aid of the stere-

PORTLAND, November II, 1892.
OuR reason for say
W ing SO much about
"Onyx" Hosiery,
and saying it so often, is
because we believe in it,
and we feel sure that you
will believe it too when
you get to know it as we
do.
No stronger proof of
its superiority over all
others could be had than
the fact that it has SO
many imitators. Every
imitation Of label, box,
stamp, and brand is an
admission that Onyx is
the standard, and conced-
ed to be the best.
A black stocking that
doesn't stay black is not
worth buying. The saving
of a few cents is not in
the line Of economy when
the value is so much low
er. Every pair of Onyx
Hosiery that goes out
from here has with it our
strongest warrant and we
give a new pair for every
one returned for imper-
fections. The dye is abb
solutely fast and will with
stand the effects Of repeat
ed washings without grow
ing rusty, and Precipitation
has no effect whatever on
the color.
We carry a line of over
seventy different sorts of
Onyx goodsfor men, wom-
en- and children, and we
confidently recommend
them to our customers.

pondence. If you were fortunate enough
TO have been invited TO very swell New
Year dinner, one of the first things that
would have struck your attention would
have been very novel and beautiful style
of fan.
1t is not the landscape fan which you
saw last fall. nor is it the feather fan,
which has waved over the land so long.
1t is entirely new and it Is perfectly ex-
quisite. And since the fan is such an
important part OF woman's dress, you
may wish to get a fan like it, or some
one may give you one as Valentine pres
ent. The groundwork is of light blue
satin, and the sticks are of mother-of-
pearl. beautifully carved and inlaid with
silver. The center piece of the fan is a
portrait of Marguerite-she who is famed
in song and story:
Marguerite, my Marguerite"
She is, of course, beautiful girl, and
she is seated upon an old-fashioned
chair with the spinning-wheel before
her. She is entirely fashioned of duch-
ess lace, and the filmy web of the lace
forms the drapery for her gown and
the chair itself and even the spinning
wheel. Marguerite's face is OF the duchess
lace, so spun that when it is put upon the
fan the groundwork makes lovely back
ground for her features and sets them forth
properly. Two angel cupids flying aloft are
holding the strings, or the threads of the
spinning-wheel, and Marguerite's dainty
arched foot is upon the wheel, while her
slender hands guide its threads. 1t
is most beautiful picture and the senti-
ment conveyed is most delicate. The
artist who conceived the idea said that he
meant it to typify the happy combination
which is the American girls boast. name
ly, the faculty by which she combines the
useful and the ornamental, making them
her own.
When one is speaking of beautiful orna-
ments, one must mention the lovely toilet
set which was given to Miss Corn
wallis West upon her marriage with
