every way capable of interesting til
ladies and general public will lectur

= are said to be very fine and practical
will be the lecturer OF the second week
During almost all of the exhibition
practical women demonstrators will b
in charge of the exhibits who will pre-
pare the food products and distribut
them to the visitors free of charge
The management Is endeavoring to al
range for patfOnesses from the Ccntur

important and somewhat unique p0
ton in the concert world. They LA
both the honor of playing for Nj
Cleveland at Lakewood, rs well us
Washington. Mrs Cleveland is M OF

tiful music. They dress in very ID
yet picturesque costumes, and alwa

tombola, the either the harp and oil
somewhat unusual Instruments, and I
selections arc wild and weird in char

They wear the slnshel frocks, curil
caps, boots and belts Of the llungarla
and are swarthy, handsome fellows.
