the crowd gathered, the laughter and frolic-

rent the air, and accounted for the unusual
hum which awaken ed the curiosity of tho

attraction was the merry go-round. Speeding

The Australian birds in the newly erected

swings and donkey rides were patrOniZed

crowds of eager patrons. The boys had the
large playground all to themselves for base

THE TUG-OF-WAR

How 1t Ended at the Pavilion-The Win
There was quite large number Of ladies
and gentlemen at the Pavilion last night to
witness the final contests Of the tug-0f-War.
The Canadians and Danish teams were
first on the platform, and after pull when
lasted MIN. and 10 see. Referee Muirhead,
who acted as proxy for the original referee,
gave his decision in favor Of the Canadians.
The next was To have been contest be-
tween the Scottish aud Irish teams, but
Captain Alexander Sharp OF the former
team and six Of his men positively refused
to compete. Sharp said that he had post
tive proof that two men on the Scottish team
had sold out to the Canadians on last Satur-
day night. and that under no circumstances
would he officer team III which were
traitors TO the cause.
No kind or manner OF inducement would
get the captain to change his mind, and $
a result only two members OF the Scottish
team put In appearance on the platform
against the Irish.
The referee gave the SeotchmeD 10 min
utes to get ready, and at the end OF that
time he gave his decision in favor Of the
Irish team by default
The announcement did not please the
spectators, the majority Of whom could not
understand what the delay and trouble
meant.
The next was TO have been a single con-
test between anchormen Smith of the Ca
madam team and Atkinson of the Scottish
team
The latter was unable to raise $780, and
said he was ready to pull for SOC, which
WAS the largest sum Of money he could af-
ford to pull for The Canadian objected to
meet his opponent for any amount under
$500.
There was considerable parley, which
finally resulted in mo contest" as the Scot
fish anchorman could not meet the demand
Of his opponent.
Tie audience, on seeing that the prospect
OF any further sport was slim, left the Pa
yiliOn. and thus ended the second inter-
national tug-Of-war.
The prize winners are: Canada first
money, Denmark second and Ireland third.

THE STRIKE ABOUT OVER.
Good Results of the Cigar-Makers' an
Employers Conference.

Good Results of the CigarMakers' and
Employers Conference.
1t looks now as though the cigar-makers'
troubles would soon be over. Yesterday
the Cigar manufacturers Association met
committee from the Cigar-makers' Union
and had a conference on the bill of prices.
At its conclusion President Plagemann OF
the Employers Association asserted with
great confidence that by next Monday morn
ing all the strikers would be back to WORE
and this view Of the situation was not de-
MED by the journeymen. 1t appears that
as a result of this conference the only
points of difference stall between the men ana
their employers is the question OF the latter
being allowed to make an IS cigar and that
the former be allowed to charge extra Tor
mixed seed-fiIlers. The union at its meet
ing tonight will probably eOHcede these
points in recognition of The concessions
made by the employers.
Two ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS conceded all
the demands OF the union men yesterday
and the old hands went TO work, A. w.
Mass 81 Co., employing Is men, and a. Null
Ter with force Of four men.

On some farms doubtless it will be the

For an illustration suppose the rcader

inches was rich black loan and under
meath was clay and gravel, would there be
spark Of common serse in sutsoilibg
twelve inches and throwing the gravel on
top? No! of course not Itw0uld bake
and the probabilities are that not even as
much as the seed could he gathered in the
fall.
Now let US come right home 10 the soil
on your farm and mine. In many instances
the sub soil is brown loan or porous
red clay, with no gravel. We will pre-
sumo that it is next fall after all the weeds
have matured and you Intend 10 put that
land in corn, cotton or tobacco the follow
ing spring. How would it DO in October
to break it II inches, taking narrow fur
rows, turning all Of the weeds under nicely
and allow them to decompOse. When
spring time comes the following spring and
pillow time with it, how would it do to turn
that sub-soil back and commence planting?
BY this method would not the weeds and
their seeds be wiped out and would the
ground not b. more favorable, richer and
in better shape? Farmers, let US hear
from you on this subj ct.

This IL Meant for YOu.

1t has been truly said that half the
world does not know how the other half
lives. Comparatively few of us have
perfect health, owing to the impure con-
diion Of our blood But we rub along
from day to day, with scarcely thought,
unless forced to our attention, of the
thousands all about us who are sufferiny
from scrofula, salt rheum and other
serious bloc disorders, and whose
agonies can only be imagined. The
marked success Of Hoods SaTsaparilla for
these troubles, as shown in our advertis
ing columns frequently, certainly seems
to justify urging the use of this excellent
medicine by all who know that their
blood is disordered. Every claim in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparila is fully
backed up by what thu medicine has
done and is still doiog, and when its pro-
prietors urge its merits and its use upon
all who suffer from impure blond, in great
or small degrees, they certainly mean to
include you.
