The elocutionary contest at the First

1t seems to us that all our business
houses should be willing to close up at
least part of the day on legal holidays,
and thus give their clerks chance to
celebrate; for, if all agreed, there would
be no loss TO any one.
Misses Selkirk and Goodale of Kala-
mazoo will be at the opera house on

The glory of the autumnal foliage

All of our citizens who went to
Chicago unite in saying that it was a
crush, a rush, and roar, but that it
was grand opening after all. Those

leidOScOpic picture presented bV the
dancers as they whirled merrily about
