A Western farmer writes in an exchange
regarding his idea of fences. and that is to
raise black walnut trees in the lot where
the fence posts are wanted. They will be.
as claimed. large enough for use at the end
of six or seven years, and then barbed wire
is used. 1t IS recommended to fasten brush
TO the top wire go that horses and cattle
can see II. IL Is said that black walnut
trees injure crops the least of any tree that
grows for the reason that they send
their roots straight down into the soil; and
for which reason there IS no difficulty
ploughing against the trunks. No stock
will gnaw or hurt them. and wherever the
leaves fall they give n black color TO the
soil. 1t also grows straight and tall, and
has but few branches. 1t is claimed that
no injury will result to the fence from the
motion OF the trees. and that In q few years
the fruit from the trees Will pay all ex-
penses. Where black walnut trees can be
cultivated aud there is no timber for posts
this might be we'll. but whore tim Der Is
abundant 1t will not DO likely to be
adopted.

ment prices opened In q majority OF cases
a fraction above the closing figures
of Friday, and. except in about
half q dozen instances. the first quota
tiOns were the highest of the day.
From the opening until the publication of
the bank statement the market dropped on
extremely light and lifeless trading.
Neither was there animation enough on the
exchange TO more than give a spasinodlc
and unsustained lift TO prices when the
associated banks did issue a statement
much more favorable than was expected,
sending the surplus reserve M beyond the
deposit line by nearly three and
a half millions. This latter in
crease was rather of a pleas
ant surprise to the street, which
had almost settled down to the belief that
q slight decrease was forthcoming. This
addition TO the deposits is looked upon
with much favor IS indicating an approach
of normal and healthy conditions of the
money market. especially as the decrease

voluntary liquIdations. After the small

again sagged OF, declining on its own
weight and closing heavy at or within a

NOVEL ADVERTISING

Last week, Thursday afternoon, be-
tween and ago o'clock there were
gather in front of the clothing store of
Gidding & Salisbury about 400 boys
ranging in ages from 4 to ID years.
This was the result of advertising in
the COLUMBIAN and other papers that
they would give ticket to every such
boy emitting him to a pack of fire
crackers on the 4th. They were
formed in line, and as they filed past
the door each boy got his ticket.
Again on the 4th at 9 a. m, the
same number. gathered again, and
each boy was presented with pack
Of fire crackers, and they made that
part of the town lively for while.
Then packs of fire crackers were
thrown in the crowd and it was fun
to see them scramble. Even when
lighted packs were thrown out the
boys would jump on them and try to
put them out, regardless Of burnt
hands.
This firm is an enterprising one,
and believes in advertising.

Fourth in 3loolasburg.

independence Day was exceedingly
quiet at Bloomsburg. The freedom
in the use of fre-crackers, rockets,
&c, that had been assured the citizens
indicated that a noisy day might be
expected. 1t seemed, however, that
because of this freedom, there was
but little desire to take advantage OF
it. Picnic parties were held at all the
groves surrounding the town, while the
Bloomsbury Cornet Band had charge
of Oak Grove, and to the musical
strains, many tripped the light fantas-
tic toe. Two games Of base ball were
played between the Shamokin Glover
Club and the Bloomsburg Club. The
home team was the strongest that has
ever been together, and as result
won easily both the games the one
in the morning by score Of IS to 2,
and the afternoon by score Of IL to
6. There was but little drinking done
in the town, and hence no drunkenness,
or arrests for disorderly conduct.
THE FIRE WORKS.
According to announcement the
fireworks, as provided by a general
subscription, were set of on Reservoir
Hill, just at the base of the reservoir
of the Water Company. The first Of
the display was fred at about half
past eight and continued until almost
eleven o'clock. In addition to the
variety consisting of rockets, roman
candles, volcanoes, electric flowers,
serpent mines, spinning wheels, etc,
large iron cannon, belonging to c. c.
Kesty, had been secured, and was
fired at regular intervals. Louis Low
enberg, John Masteller, and Harry
Taylor had charge of the firing.
Crowds gathered upon Reservoir Hill,
Iron Street, and the Cemetery Hill.
There was but one complaint made
and that was the slowness in firing.
Had they been fred with double or
treble the rapidity, it would have
given more general satisfaction, though
very good as it was.

Washington Camp No. 3Io, P. o.

entrance, is an oriental or harem scene
IN which there are five dark eyed beau.
ties lounging on divans or otherwise
disposed In accord with the languid
habits Of the far East. Fatima, re-
gal beauty, is the queen" of this booth,
and occupies an exalted position in
the center.
Inc costumes Of the orientals are
exceedingly gorgeous and rich. Three
OF the girls-an English, French, and
American-wear Worth gowns. These
naturally excite the enthusiastic ad-
mlratlon of all of the visitors of the
gentler sex. The gowns cost from
$1,000 to $1,000 each, and are the
ilnest that the famous Paris costumer
could make. The material was made
specially for him and could not be
duplicated elsewhere. This is Worth's
only exhibit at the Fair, he having de-
cllned request from the French Com
mission, and also one from Mrs. Pot.
ter Palmer, president of the Board of
Lady Managers, to make an exhibit in
their departments.
The beauties enjoy themselves !;
they have good time they sleep and
eat in the exhibit building, and have
comfortable quarters and excellent
board, much better in fact than the
public restaurants of the Fair provide.
They have their half days off, and are
allowed to go and come under proper
restrictions. So long as a girl acts in
lady-lke and proper manner but lit
tie restriction is exercised over her.
One would imagine that it would be a
difficult task to manage so many pretty
young women, who are conscious of
their attractions, and who, it is to be
supposed, have tn cir jealousies of each
other. However that may be, it seems
to be done smoothly and satisfactorily.
The girls seem happy, and the visitors
are certainly well pleased. Compli-
ments for the "Beauty Show" are heard
on every hand.
When one stops to think of it, what
reasonable criticism can be made of
the idea of holding a beauty show !?
Beauty of face and form, especially of
the female face and form, has engaged
the talent Of great painters and sculp-
tors of all ages, and what they have
produced on canvass and in marble
has received universal admiration.
Why should not the original be set up
tor admiration, and receive it, as well
as the imitation, and even in greater
degrec1 Sound reasoning will proba-
bly, answer that it may be, if properly.
Visitors to the Worlds Fair evidently
think that the International Dress and
Costume exhibit is genuine beauty
show, and not only that, but a model
and perfectly proper one.
