Beauties for our Fair.

LONDON, March 2j.-The loveliest anC
most precious freight ever sent to Americs
went out on the Paris from Southampton
to-day. 1t is dazzling galaxy Of 50 young
women. who are supposed to represent the
best types Of beauty Of the Old world. and
were shipped by the big liner as a living
chronological exhibition for the Chicago
Fair.
It's not known whether this bewildering
company fitly realizes the poets dream Of
fair women, for no one was allowed to look
upon the aggregation Of loveliness, who are
said to be Of the ne plus ultra of Europe's
fairest maidens. having been selected from
several thousand ambitious creatures.

Raises Thirty-Five Feet Above
Low Water Mark.
ALL DANGER is NOW OVER.
The Raise Causes Serious Apprehen-
sion but no Great Amount of
Damage.

The past week has been one of
serious apprehension to the people
Of Bonner's Ferry. For several
days the Kootenai rose with re-
markable rapidity until it was with
in few feet of the top Of the banks,
and it continued to raise at the rate
of an inch an hour until the town
was threatened with a serious flood.
The first serious event occurred
on Tuesday night when the water
cut away the fill at the head of Main
street, taking out the crossing be-
tween town and the depot, and
creating a channel which rapidly
grew in proportions.
On Wednesday the water began
to threaten the Eatonville bridge
and people began to think it advis-
able to move to higher ground.
Kinnear & Williams were the first
to act and moved all their flour and
feed up to Eaton's warehouse. The
water flooded that portion Of the
town where ]. G. McRae, e. F.
Harvey, VIM. Stone, VIM. Allerton
land Others reside and they had to
move out.
On Friday, the situation began
to assume a really dangerous aspect,
4 the back water was coming up rap
idly and the river threatened to
come over the banks at the main
street. The dam at the railroad
track broke about s o'clock and let
a flood in up N those living on the
lower grounds, Of EatOnville.
The following had to move out:
Edwin Doust, DR.. Campbell, d. l..
Hope, Jack Cooper, Smith Field,
DR.. Barker, Mrs. Grothe, G. HI.
Becken and II. l.. Medbury. Down
in the G. N. Addition Messrs.
Smith, H l. Carlton and J E Dolan
and their families vacated their
residences. The water lacked but
few inches of drowning out the
HERALD Office and we began to
think of moving into the second
story. On Main street there was
considerable excitement, and there
were many movers. r. l.. Not
tingham. of Brandenburg q Van
Gasken, moved his goods into
store in Eatonyille, where he is do
ing business. w. f. Kalb found
shelter under tent on the hillside
in Eaton. b. III. Williams & Co.
moved a part Of their stock to Eat
on, and A. l.. Jameson also crossed
the bridge with some of his goods.
B. G. Hemmingcr had everything
packed ready to 60. Mrs Otley and
Mrs. Good moved their dressmaking
and millinery goods to the formers
residence. Nearly every one pre-
pared for the worst. The water
water lacked but a few inches OF
coming over the bank. The back
water reached up to portion Of
Main street.
In the afternoon the water ceased
to raise and on Saturday it began
to fall. At this time it has fallen
| over foot and is now going down
| rapidly, and by tomorrow people
| will begin to return to their homes
and affairs will assume their natur-
al condition.
So great a raise at this season is
unprecedented. 1t is not believed

Piano Organs From London.

Piano organs are the latest form Of
musical torture that has been devised.
The piano seems to have fallen into dis
repute in Europe. In London it is I'M
fashionable to play one of these instru-
ments, and in Berlin there is a law
against playing one with the windows of
the house in which it is located open.
The piano makers of the old world have
therefore been looking for new field to
exploit, and they hit upon the piano or
gan London makes them and is send
ing hundreds of them all over the world.
They are taking the places of hand Or
gans. In New York and eastern cities
you can now hear in the streets as many
piano organs, as they are called, as you
can hand organs. They are not organs
at all, but loud toned upright pianos
that are mounted on wheels and can be
trundled about easily.
They may be heard several blocks
away. The hand piano is fast displacing
the hand organ in popular favor, but it
hasn't the variety Of music of the latter
Hand organs are made in this country,
and when any new tune comes ont it can
soon be inserted in the organs roper
tories, but the pianos have to be sent TO
London for any change or repairing that
Is necessary. In this respect, and in this
only, the organs have the best of it.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

THEY MET ON FIFTH AVENUE.
A Glad Embrace Followed and Gave a
Hint of Hidden Romance.

Hint of Hidden Romance.
Pedestrians who were passing st. Pat
rick's cathedral on Fifth avenue the
other day at about 3 o'clock in the after
noon We're treated TO a curious sight.
Coming up the avenue was a handsome
woman of about 20. She was elegantly
dressed and bore herself with manner
and carriage which were eminently
aristocratic. She was walking slowly,
as though out for an afternoon airing,
looking carelessly at the carriages which
/ were passing along the avenue.
I Going down town on the same block
and at the same time was a man of mid
die age. He too, was dressed faultless-
". He wore "A silk hat and overcoat of
the latest cut. His trousers were prop
erly creased, and in his buttonhole was
a small boutonniere Of lilies Of the val
. ley. In his hand he carried a neat cane,
which he swung as he walked. Helooked
contented with the world and with him
self and as though he had not care but
[ to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and the
luxury Of leisurely stroll. AS they APP
preached each other, this lady and the
gentleman, they arrived just opposite
[ the main entrance to the cathedral.
I Suddenly they caught sight Of each
other, and an instantaneous change came.
The lady stopped short in her walk and
exclaimed, "Theo!" She dropped the
small silk umbrella she had been carry
ing, stretched forth her arms and sprang,
rather than walked, straight into the
arms of the man. He, while he did not
exclaim, acted in a manner indicating
more emotion than surprise. He dropped
( his cane and folded the woman to his
breast with an ardor that showed more
than gladness at the meeting. The pair
stopped for a moment in view of the peo-
pie, who were observing them, He picked
up his cane and her umbrella, and to-
gether they both disappeared around the
corner into Fiftieth street
Who were they? Brother and sister
united after years Of separation? Their
/ joy at meeting seemed too warm for
! that. Lovers separated in their youth
and met again after many years? Who
can tell? 1t might have been. But they
disappeared around the corner, and they
carried their secret with them. And the
still lingering pedestrians felt somehow
that they had come into contact with
something holy and walked again on their
way with glad feeling it was as diff
cult to define as it was to tell whence
and why it came.-New York Press,
