courtesy, and right refreshing, too, will 1t
be in these times of frivolitry. The little

The Pioneers will establish themselves
at the hirmess in an old time log cabin
we'll equipped with furniture of the AZ
period. OF course they will appear in
n0mpGnnn n Nv
hands of mother, sister and wife. These
good old fashioned people will furnish thu
warmest sort of hospitality to all hungry
and thirsty wayfarers who may pass their
friendly door. Even the old dog will wap
his tail at sight of new though friendly
face.
A unique feature of the Kirmess will be-
the literary booth. We believe that it has
never before been attempted. Its quaint
interior promises to be most attractive. Its
array of dainty and artistic cards-dinner
cards, luncheon cards, tally cards; its
tempting salad perfectly seasoned to the
taste of every intellectual soul together
with host of novelties of literary char
acuer, will prove a constant source of pleas
ure to every visitor. The ladies say a ma
per will be issued every evening from the
booth that will command instant unfailing
and universal interest. Its business coll
umns are to be filled with advertisements
curious and original. The aim is to fill the
remaining columns with original articles
written especially for the Kirmess paper.
The composite story in five chapters writ
ten by as many different ladies and GENTLE
men well known to all, is expected to he az
charuingly attractive as the individuality
OF the authors. If any stray sonnets or
poems in prose are seeking fame snd
name in the literary world let the writers
address them plainly to either Mrs. r..
Young or Mrs. g. Z. Allen, who have the
editorial department in charge. and rest
assured OF most impartial Judgment. All
business communications addressed TO Mrs
Wa Nelden will receive prompt attention.
The ladies assisting are Mesdames Dart
Vincent, Hughes, L. G. Bailey, Whitman,
Mathis Mccartney, 6. d. Spencer, Smell,
Young, =. &. Allen, Bascom, Scanneu 6
f. Walker, Druehl; captains assistants
are Misses Clara Bailey, Ella Thomas, and
Nellie Beatty.
1t is to be regretted that through a sort
OF thonghtlessness the managers have. un-
Intentionally, as they declare, been led into
serious error that is almost sure to affect
prime object, the promotion of the Public
library, is one in which all citizens. with
out distinction, are IN sympathy, and when
the h1rmess project was proposed the
ladies Of all the churches were eager to
support 1t. With this view many ladies of
the older families interested themselves to
obtain patronage for publication which
was 10 be an organ of the Kirmess. and de-
tail to the public the interesting features
of the Fair. Such q publication. it was
truly thought, would serve to keen alive
Inc popular interest and be means of
revenue likewise The mistake referred
to aboveis in it being made to appear that
the organ aforesaid is an edition of a par
tlsan newspaper in the city which very
many OF the best people of Salt Lake do
not read, and in which many of the leading
merchants will not advertise. 1t is In re9
spectfui manner held that it was entirely
unnecessary to give the organ the
name of any other paper in the
city, either Liberal or Democratic and
that the cause of popular enlightenment
does not really require that that the chror
lcles OF the kirmess should be printed
under name which, whether 6istasteful
OR otherwise, does not in any way Indicate
the purpose, but is, rather, significant of
purposes wholly different from, if not re-
pugnant TO it. Mrs Nelden, when seen on
Ihie ouDJoCe, Sdiu LHHb IDe paper was to be
a perfectly independent organ, its sole OBJ
Iect being to make generous contribution
to the public library. She thought-though
In this she is mistaken-that 1t was
customary TO name Kirmess paper after
one OF the papers published in the CITY
where the hirmess is given, and as one of
the members of the club is connected with
the Salt Lake Tribune, it could properly
have that name. The assistance or inter
est OF any other paper was not doubted
she said, nor was it intended TO arouse anv
iealousies. This, however, unfortunately
has no bearing upon the actual merits of
the matter.
