Facts About the Worlds Fair.
 [Deep River New Era.1

The Era reporter ran across MT Wm Willard, the well-known and popular salesman for F. w. Warner & Co.,, the Hartford clothiers, while knocking about on the road Wednesday. After the usual greeting, it was remarked by an &C., quaintance standing nearby that Mir Willard was looking unusually we'll. "Yes." says MT Willard, II am feeling better than did. You know I've been out to the Fair"
 "Ohl Oh! What did you think of it?''
 "Well, it's far from complete, and don't like their ways of conducting things at all. They are pulling mans teeth. Why, you can't get bed for less than S3 per night And it's robbing just like that all along the line. I stayed there three days, and bed alone cost me $5, $3 and $3 respectively for the same number of nights. There is hardly an exhibit complete, and many of the buildings are unfinished. But speak ing about the opening of the Fair by pressing magic key. Why, when the Fair was opened, that big belt connect. ing the big engine with the machinery was down in a freight car. It sounded all right though"

It is very probable that some comma-shaped microbes may be found in the United States this year. The comma-shaped fellows mean cholera. The surest preventive of cholera is clean liness. House cleaning this year should be most thoroughly done. and we sug- gest to the good housewife that coat of Chiffon Paint for inside work will not only beautify the home, but will kill any stray comma-shaped microbe that by any misfortune may find it's way into the house. We suppose that almost any kind of paint would kill cholera mi crobes and perhaps if that were the only object in painting. some of the cheap paints that contain benzine in such liberal quantities would be as good, but we think that while you are using paint as preventive of cholera, it is well to use the Chiffon, not because u will kill more microbes than any other paint, but because it will last longer, keep brighter, and look better than any paint you can use. Get pound can and see for yourself

Talmage Will Remain.

Rev Dr T. Dewitt Talmage will re- main in Brooklyn, N. Y. and will con- tinue to be the pastor of the Brooklyn tabernacle. The floating debt on the tabernacle has been lifted by com promise with creditors. Dr Talmage's assistant, the Rev MT Cakes. met the creditors last Saturday and offered them the money which he had been able to raise, viz. twenty three cents on the dollar. The creditors accepted the of fer and cancelled their claim against the tabernacle.
 It is well-known fact that no individ- uAl connected with the church has shown more esgerness to see the debt raised than Dr Talmage himself. That he has not received any part of his sal ary for over two years proves this. An other evidence of his devotion was giv- en on Friday when he handed his assis- tant his personal check for $10,O0O. to be applied to the general fund.
 Last Sunday in the presence of 8 con gregation that crowded the immense tabernacle to the doors Dr Talmage of ficially announced that the floating debt of the tabernacle had been iquated and that his remaining with the church as it's pastor was assured. Cheer upon cheer was given by the large congrega- tion, and it was some time before he could continue. The cheering was re- peated with emphasis when the divine added that he would continue as pastor The news of his official declaration was quickly carried to all parts of Brooklyn. Among all classes of clergy the intelli- gence that Dr Talmage would not aban- don the tabernacle and Brooklyn was re- ceived with undoubted pleasure. Dr Talmage announced before preaching his sermon that next Sunday there will be jubilee services at the church in com memoration of the extinction of the floating debt. The day will be made g memorable one in the history of the tab. ernacle.
 The readers of the NEWS will rejoice to learn that Dr Talmage will continue to be the pastor of the Brooklyn taber nacle and that his sermons will agair appear in the NEWS on and after July 9th. In the meantime the NEWS vii complete the publication of Dr Dixon'l series of sermons on the ''Gates of Hel in Modern Babylon"

at prices away below value.

In pursuance of our invari- able custom never to carry made up garments from one season to another, we now make this sale, although the stock is full in as sortments of the very latest styles of the season, complete in colors and sizes
 The sale is made earlier than would be otherwise necessary, because we need the room to make contemplated repairs, con sequently the jackets and capes must go just at the time when they are in the greatest demand,
 While the advantage is large for buyers, it is believed that our own interest will also be ultimately served even in this considerable loss.
 Great activity and prompt dis tribution must result from the above offering, and prompt at tention is therefore advised.
