This has been Cat least with us) great year for the
sale of Furniture of all kinds The only way we
account for this is the fact that purchased in
such large quantities and all times for cash) that
perhaps enabled to sell at figures t. meet
the popular idea We have all kinds styles and

anime our large and complete assortment.

later he moved to Austin, Tex,
and since that time has contin-
ned to reside in that state. In 1857 the
young man was elected Judge of the
Second judicial district, and filed the
post with honor. Judge Terrell was in
sympathy with the movement for Sc
cession. but took no active part in the
proceedings owing to his position on
the bench. Upon expiration of his
term of Office. however. he entered the
confederate army as lieutenant colonel
of the Thirtyfourth Texas cavalry.
He became colonel later, md at the
close of the war commanded brigade
After a short residence in Houston he
returned to Austin, where he now is.
Judge Terrell WAS twice elected to the
state senate of Texas and made a bril-
liant record. He has long been "a prom
inent man in the state, and is regarded
as speaker of force and an earnest
student of political economy. During
the last campaign Judge Terrell made
many able speeches in support of the
democratic candidates.

costumes, but the street architecture is
very cleyerly shown here. The Algerian
dancing girls are richly dressed. Their
feet are pinched into little high-heeled
shoes. They wear gold anlllets and
other barbaric trinkets as accompani-
ments to ample costumes of satin and
gauze. Some of the dances will seem
rather radical, unless you have seen
them in Paris, or in Algiers itself.
Another remarkably realistic village
is the Cairo street. Once under the
gateway opening in the main avenue
of the Plaisance the visitor has little
difficulty in fancying himself in the Nile
town. The little latticed windows.
the bazaars, the drinking shops. the
vendors and musicians, are all in
geniously calculated to appeal to the
imagination and the pocletbook.
There are not less than $50 Egyptians
in this imitation of Il section OF the
khedive's domain. Donkeys and don
key boys mingle with the crowd of
magicians, priests and sightsccrs
Near at hand are the Persian bazaar,
the Moorish palace, the Austrian vii
lage and the Chinese theater The
Chinese play, which is now on, will last
until next November, with rests only
for sleep and refreshment, so that no.
body need he afraid of not being in
time to see all they want of it. The
play is guaranteed to be genuine in all
particulars.

who revel in scarlet and look mystic
There are only seven of them, but they
are tall and make as great Il show as
twice the number of any other people.
This is but n glance at the Plaisance
1t is cxhaustible.
Turning to the side shows that are
not in the Plaisance itself we must re-
member the EsQuimau village. The
scattering of little tea houses are side
shows if they do not cost an admission
fee. 1t costs something to get out of
them, which amounts to the same
thing.
North of the fair grounds is the
great sprawling Spectacular, an
other very Yankee thing, for in this
big theater the proprietors outdo all
the little games of the modern stage
to date. We have had tanks, but the
Spectacular has real rivers. More
than this, it goes in for real every
thing. 1t has real rocks, real trees. II
has Il sun and moon that can bewilder
prize astronomer. OF course there
will be real people on the stage-plenty
of them; and they will charge real
money to get in. Everything is as

feet wide as we'll as a mile long. gives
plenty of elbow room for the display,
and the result is like city 10y itself
The most conspicuous object there is
the great wheel, which is u truly Yam
kee affair, the biggest wheel on record
in which you are swung to height of
204 feet and get n fine bird 's-eye view
of the fair, and particularly of Mid
way Everybody who ever exhibits Il
passion for swings, tall towers or the
like, will wish to try the wheel, which
will cause shiver to the nervous old
Indies from the country, but which is
said TO be absolutely safe
People who prefer something cx-
hila-nting on the solid ground will
find it in the geological arena. which
is wild animal show of a new and en-
pertaining kind. In other wild ANNA
shows the lions are Gagged and the
people are free. In llagcnbcclt'S show
the people are Gagged and the lions have
sporting room. The novelty of sitting
in barred seating section and watch
ing the unfcttercd wild beasts in the
arena is worth the money to every lover
of sensations.
For more of the barbaric Won nav
look upon the women warriors of Da-
honey. Sixty-cight of the dusky femi-
nine fighters and their masculine cs-
corts have shivcred here in Il Chicago

their determination to convince every
body that they are the genuine article.
And of course it will pay, too.

In picturesQucness the Turks and
Algerians come out strong The Turks
have vcritablc mosque that is really
one of the distinctive sights of the
fair. In this mosque. in dedicating
which the Ancient Arabic Order of the
Mystic Shrine joined with so much
dignity, is devoted to worship as well
as to purposes of commercial and inter
national interests. 1t is hung with
gorgeous and costly rugs. So is the
Turkish bazaar, the pavilion and the
harem. The Ottoman thcater is wound
up for the summer and is going to he

Next to the Turkish theater is the

tard, and their plans arc still in use,
but none of them hit on the arrange
ment of cloths as Just patented. In
the new patent it is claimed that, bv
their arrangement, the sails can be
made to fit from the start, and will
stand as well at first as at any subse-
Qucnt period. This also means that
the sails do not require continual
stretching to get them into shape, and
that they will not aftcrward stretch
out of shape. The principal stretch
ing takes place in the direction of the
warp lengthwisc of the cloths, while
there is very little stretching in the di-
rection of the weft, the threads which
cross the warp. The shrinkage in the
direction of the welt is also much less
than in the direction of the warp. Ey
the new arrangement of cloths the
weft runs parallel to the foot of the
leach, and they claim that the arrange
ment is suitable for all descriptions OF
fore-and-aft sails
1t is whispered that some of the big
English racers now under course of
construction will be fitted with sails of
this description, and if this is so the
owners of the cup defenders shonld not
sc caught nnpping.

DIAGONAL YACHT SAILS.

An English Invention Which Makes

Nachtlncn will no doubt be inter
c:'tcG III a new diagonal sail which has
recently been patented in England
Dixon Kemp, in speaking Of the new
invention. among other things SAYS:
'Thcrc is no doubt that one of the
chief bothcrs of yacht sailing is the
stretching and taking up of sails but
stretching is the worst, and nothing is
more annoying in racing than sail
which has grown too large for the
spars. The bcllying has been pretty

Hat as the proverbial card. but the
stretching is as bad as ever. Until the
sail area rule of rating came into use
this was not of much consequence. as
the spars could be made longer than
the edges of the sail to allow for
stretching, but now that every inch is
measured, the sail must cover the
spars from end to end from starting,
and little or nothing can be allowed
for stretching.

Buffalo Bills show is one of the few

Only a couple of years ago. when Mills
won the BordcauN-PnriS race. it was
considered inevitable that the winner
would be an Englishman and. as a
matter of fact, the first Frcnchman to

Englishman. Things, however, are
very different at the present moment.

has been beaten here by only one
rider, Shorthand. who did four hundred

Than lie Docs in America.
I'm Germans life at a German uni
ecrsity," says Il writer in the Boston
Commonwealth, II incline to think
university work is Il more important
factor than in the life of student
here with us; that is to say, if he does
any work at all. He gives it more
prominent position in his social life
than is the custom with us; he chooses
his friends often from among his CO.
workers. in way that is rare with us:
he discourScS on his studies in leisure
moments as few Americans would do
at home: IL good deal of his social life
may be based upon his interest in this
or that branch of science. This seems
strange to us: but it is to great en-
tent to German in a German UNIVERSE
ty, and 1t is apt to be doubly so to an
American. For the American cannot
avail himself of the various kinds of
diversion that attract the attention of
the German. and often he would not
desire to do SO if he could. through
lack of interest or lack of time. He
has come to Germany for limited
time and he wishes to make the most
OF 1t. But it is not merely that it is
practically convenient for an American
to keep his work constantly before his
eyes.
There is another cause which goes
to account in IL measure for the schol-
arly atmosphere. think it will bc al
