THE FESTIVAL OF AUTHORS.
The Y. NJ. c. A. Fair Opened Yesterday
Noon Architect Thompson's Well Inven
ton Beauty of the Spectacle.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion Auxiliary Fair opened yesterday
noon, and the general spectacle OF City
hall is really unusually dainty and
pretty and artistic. 1t is not too much
to say that this is largely due to the
efficient efforts of Architect Tompson.
he has put in all his time since Monday
morning, and he has done so to good
purpose. The booths are designed and
arranged and adorned with admirable
taste. There is no crowding or disorder
of location or of color. There is plenty
of room and yet plenty to see and admire
and buy. Mr.. Tompson's triumph,
however, not even excepting his archi-
tectural COW jumping over the moon, in
Mother Goose's domicile, is the lemonade
well sweep To get up that lemonade
out of barrel that did not admit of
tipping the bucket wassa problem. But
Mr.. Thompson was equal to it. He re-
placed the buckets bottom with wire
netting, on which. to set the glasses
which would thus be submerged in the
lemonade and come up full. He then
inserted wire covering to hold the
glasses steady. The whole idea is very
clever and worthy perhaps of permanent
use and patent.
The vanity Fair" sale table in front
OF the stage is large semi-circle and is
so beautiful as spectacle, and covered
with such pretty fancy articles that even
the men must feel inclined to purchase.
The American Cadet Band was the
special attraction in the afternoon.
1t should be said that Capt. Browns
drapery is in entire accord with Mr..
Tompson's work on the floor of the
hall.
The programme OF sthe Living Pic
lures" entertainment last evening was as

Famous Paintings of the World.

Many time one has been attracted to
a picture, but because of the Historical
enigma attached or the local coloring,
the why of it could not be seen and SO it
was let go out of the mind. In Famous
Paintings of the World" intelligent
descriptions accompany each picture.
No expense has been spared in this re-
gard. You look at the artists work
through the eyes and minds of such
famous writers as Gen. Lew Wallace, DR..
John Ridpath and Will Carleton. The
choicest pictures shown in the gallery
at the Worlds Fair have been captured
by the camera and by modern art repro
duced in the pages of these portfolios.
Parts one to seven are now ready and
part eight will be here Saturday.

WORTH MILLIONS 10 CANAAN.
lev Free Raw Materials Will Help O
N~eighbors Across the Border.

New Free Raw Materials Will Help Our
Neighbours Across the Border.
Eli Perkins, who was recently in st.
John, N. B., when asked how the Cana
dams felt about the Wilson bill. replied:
There is great rejoicing all over Can
sda. Now said the editor of the st.
John Telegraph, we will have a Cana
dian boom. The Mckinley bill knocked
out the 40 lime factories about St. JOIN
but free lime will soon start them up
again. When the new Wilson tariff bill
d passed, we will make over 81, 600, 900
worth of lime around st. John and send
Il to the States. Our own Canadian ships
will carry it to Boston. We will help
our farmers and sailors"
"sBut how will this affect the 100
imekilns down at Rockland, Me? l
asked.
why. those Knox, Lincoln and Wal
do county limemakers have already
closed down. We can get our raw ma
terial cheaper here, and labor is cheaper
in Canada, and w can knock the Yam
KEGS out or conpel them to come over
here and work for Canadian wages.
This beats recir rocity, and there won't
be n more ia k in Canada about an
nexation after ye get the Wilson bill. "
Then yor don't want annexation?
ssid.
".Not win free sheep. potatoes.
horses, butter, cheese. barley, hops and
lumber. Now we will saw all our lum-
Der in Canada, dress it and knock out
your Yankee sawmills. Before, under
the Mckinley bill, we hoated our logs
over to your sawmills, with the bark
On, as raw material. But now we will
send you holdings and planed boards
manufactured lumber
".Will this make lumber cheaper in
lie States?' l asked.
".Oh, no; but it will go up in Canada.
We will get the benefit
up on the St. Lawrence the other
day" said Mr.. Perkins. II found the Ca.
nadian farmers also rejoicing. They said
"'Our sheep will be worth 81 so apiece
more in Canada as soon as the Wilson
bill is passed. Our farmers will be just
- well off as yours, and better, too. fol
we still have a tariff against everything
you make. We can make a Botany
Bay" of You Yankees, and You can't send

"'But won't it make sheep and horse:
and beef cheaper in the StatesY / asked.
".Why, of course not. When the Nc
Kinley bill passed. the price fell in Cana
ds Just the amount Of the tariff. and now
they will go up again as high as they are

The tail can't wag the dog. If we were

give Canada an awful boom and kill an
