CATHOLIC FAIR.
Three Days Entertainment by the
 Sisters of the Sacred Heart.

Three Days Entertainment by the
 Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
 The Sisters of Mercy, of the Sacred Heart Academy, will hold three days fair during the third week of Decem Der, beginning on the 20th, opening at 5 p. m. grand supper will be served, all three nights having on the second night "A Spanish Supper" All are most cordially invited. The variety and fancy tables will be such as de- light the hearts of all. The sisters are anxious that the fair should be sue cess financially, as the proceeds will go toward clearing the $2, 800 debt still due on the convent building, and they have reason to believe it will, judging from their many experiences of the kindness and generosity of the people of Phenix.
 Various amusing games under the supervision of some one of Phenlx's young ladies who know how to make those games highly interesting to all, will be very pleasing feature of the occasion, as also will be a fish pond and a candy booth presided over by Messrs. Murray & DeMers, who in order to meet individual tastes will have can dy machine on hand and will make the candy at the booth.
 Among many other valuable articles to be given away during the fair are lady's gold watch, handsome bride doll, gold headed cane, twS handsome rock. ing chairs, innumerable fancy work articles, the work of the sisters: also two handsome pictures, one in oil, the other in crayon. Further particulars will be given later.

 OMAHA, Neb. Nov. 26.-General Pas senger Agent Lomax of the Union Pa cifc, said today: "We have no inten- tion of joining the Western Passenger association. We have not line east of the Missouri river and we do not pro- pose to tie up our road just for the Denver line and give our competitors for coast traffic snap.
 I've have been fooled that way too often and will certainly not be fooled that way again. MT. Payne has gone to Chicago to attend meeting for the reorganiza tion of the association today, but there is no danger of the Union Pacific joining as the association is now |"

SMALL ARMS PRACTICE.
The Government Test is Unsatis-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The naval small arms board has returned to Wash ington from Newport where it has just completed the second series of tests of small bore rifles, Guns tested were the Luger, German gun, and the Durst, California weapon. The latter broke down and was withdrawn. The Luger from all reports did better than any gun yet examined. As the tests so far made have not satisfied the ordnance officers in all respects, It has been de- cided that another and more extensive competition will be held next March.

COLORS IN COAL TAR.
Startling Results Obtained from Working

startling Results Obtained from Working
tho Formerly Useless Substance.
The secret of the production of color
Is not yet revealed. The unrivalcd hues
of the tulip and the rose are formed
from the black soil. But how9 None
can say. Yet one is no less startled
by the endless variety of color now
produced from coal tar From that ap-
parcntly useless substance perfumes,
medicines and sweeteners have been
formed which have startled men. But
color appeals to the eye.
Only thirty-six years ago. says Long
mans Magazine, Perkin gathered up
the Fragments" in coal tar and pro-
duced the beautiful mauve dye. Now,
from the greasy material which was
considered useless is produced madder,
which makes coal tar worth e100 a ton.
This coloring matter alone now EN-
ploys an industry of e2, 900, 900 per an
mum. One ton of good camel coal,
when distilled in gas retorts, leaves
twelve gallons of coal tar, from which
are produced pound OF benzlnc, n
pound OF tolucne, n pound and half
Of phenol, six pounds Of napthalene, a
small quantity of xylcne and half a
pound OF anthracene for dyeing pur-
poses.

A PULLING ADDRESS.
The Remarkable ToAt of Bright Spanish
Postal Clerks.


Ex-senator Palmer, OF Michigan,
who, according to the Washington
Star, who was minister TO Spain for u
time, says they have bright postal
clerks In tho land OF the dons as we'll
as in this country In proof of the
assertion he tells OF a curiously ad-
dressed letter which passed through
the post office at Madrid while he was
in that capital. According TO the ex.
senator and ex-minister, the address
was perfect rebus. At the left-hand
side was the figure of Il lady. This
made 1t clear to which sex tho one to
whom the letter was addressed be-
longed. Over the lady's head was u
rising sun, which was interpreted as
indicating that her name was Aurora.
For her surname there was hill,
with n castle at its foot, or In Spanish
"Montes Castillo" For the town
there was the plan OF city drawn, In
which the Alhambra appeared. OF
course that meant Granada, especially
rs Il pomegranate was drawn beside
the plan of the city. The address was
completed by number in one OF the
streets OF the plan. The postal au-
thorities took three days TO study this
cui iosity, said ex-senator Palmer, and
then delivered 1t In triumph to "Senor-
ita Aurora Monies Castillo. Aza-
cayas No. 20, Granada" So proud
were the postal authorities of this feat
that they had the envelope photo
graphed and printed in the Madrid
papers rs proof of the acumen of the
department. "All the foreigners in
Madrid were very much amused by the
affair" said Mr.. Palmer.

STRANGE SIGHTS IN INDIA.
Peculiar Results of the Hindoo BelIef Com
cerninR Animals.

"Of all the strange places we visited
none was more unique than Jeypore,"
said Mr.. Burditt of the Stoddard party,
according to the Washington Post.
This is city in the north OF India,
which is under native government, its
ruler being the maharnjah of that dis
trict. Here the sacredness of animal
life, SO carefully observed by the Hin
ioos, gave us queer sights. Monkeys
ran along walls like dogs. Doves In
aocks of thousands filed tho open
squares, or blackencd the heavens In
their flight, Peacocks covered walls
and buildings Elephants and camels
were always to be seen in the streets
The maharajah had in his stables three
hundred horses, many Of the finest
Arabian blood. And In the mud OF n
sluggish pond in the rear OF his palace
enormous and vicious-looking croco-
lilies lazily rolled about, To get them
70 move sufficiently to be able TO dis
tinguish their black forms from the
surrounding mud we threw out bait In
the shape Of big pieces of raw beef,
tied to n string, many pounds Of which
they would gnlp at one effort"
