STATE FAIR POSTPONED FOR A YEAF
Commission al North Yakima Took For
NAL Action in the Matter.

Commission at North Yakima Took For
NAL Action in the Matter.
North Yakima, April 29.-At the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the state fair
commission this morning it was unani-
mously decided to forego holding the
fair in the coming fall. Reavis of Spo-
kane and Engle of Seattle, outside
members of the commission, wrote let
ters highly commencing such action.
The local members were seconded by
leading merchants and farmers, in adj
dition to Senator Lesh and Representa-
tive Milroy. The commission was or
ganized late in the season and was
debarred from making the necessary ar
engagements in time to advantageously
get it before the people Of the state.
The commission recently learned that
the Spokane fruit fair was booked for
the same date, which more fully con-
firmed the idea not to hold a fair at
Yakima this fall, enabling Spokane to
profit by lack of competition. The state
fair dates are fixed by law and can not
be changed. The commissioners feel
that the general depression, low prices
of crops and the inability of farmers
and the general public to come to Yak
ina this fall make it almost mandatory
that the states money should not be
jeopardized or injudiciously expended
The expenses this year will be small
as only the grounds must be main
tained hence the commissioners will
have almost a full appropriation for the
fair in 1896, at which time the exhibit
it is hoped, will be a credit to Wash.

ON THE TRACK OF The MuRDERERs
Development in the Triple Assassination
at Pelican Point Utah.

DeVelOpment in the Triple ASSASSINATION
at Pelican Point, Utah.
Salt Lake, April 2S.-ImpOrtant devel-
opments are looked for in connection
with the recent murder of the three
men at Pelican Point, Utah. On the
strength of a letter received from Mon
tana, the sheriff of Lehi made another
visit to the cabin formerly occupied by
the murdered men and found it iccu-
pied by Hayes Tyrell and Lars Peter
son. Hayes is the father-in-law of
one of the murdered men. The sheriff
discovered evidence which it is thought
will lead to arrests. The exact purport
of the letter from Montana can not be
learned, as the officials claim its publ
cation would be detrimental to the In
vestigation.

road in this city that three new steam

Hankow, will be placed in service, leav-
ing Hong Kong June 4, June 25 and
August q respectively. The three new
steamers will have double the carrying
capacity of the largest steamer on the
line. This will make six steamers all

Hong Kong, instead of three as hereto
fore. thus. considering the increased
capacity of the new ships, more than
doubling the facilities of the line for
freight and passenger service.

DURABLE ORNAMENTAL WORK.
Don't Waste Time on Unwashable Pretty
Room Fixings.

Room Fixings.
In choosing materials and designs
for the ornamenting of bureau, dress
ing case and table, it is wise to buy
only smch as will bear washing. Many
delicate fabrics look pretty when fresh,
but it is hard to throw them aside
when soiled, if you have set countless
stitches in them. Leisure spent on
such fancy work seems wasted in a
world where there is so much that is
wonderful to see and learn. Fancy
work. yes, even real art work, except
when it becomes means of bread
winnh,g-should be kept in its
rightful minor place. When fine
piece of work is to be done. choose
lasting materials, worthy the time
spent over them. For inexpensive
toilet articles there is nothing neater
than plain or dotted muslin, edged
with ruffles of itself or gathered lace.
Coarser than this is plain scrim, which
can be easily hens stitched, or, pulling
out few threads, have rows of tinJ
ribbons of favorite color drawn in
which makes tasteful border. These
ribbons can be easily replaced when
faded, OK withdrawn when the scrim
itself needs laundering. Scrim shrinks
quite seriously in washing, so be con-
tented to have each article little too
large at first. Denim, in blue or brown,
is worthy of being ornamented with
bold designs in outline and lace stitch.
and when done with the lustrous linen
threads in white, is handsome. Bolt
ing cloth, with its firm tenure, and
pongee are other fabrics on which
silks and linens whose colors are fast,
can be used, and yet be lasting.
Coarse liren.- butchers linen it is often
called-is sold by the yard OF in pieces
already hemstitched. White or colored
en- broidery is always pretty on this
linen. Even cheese or butter cloth
will make dainty toilet "fixings,' with
gay bows and hemstitching, but it is
not worthy more time-taking work
than simple brier or feather stitching.

1t looks as if long-felt want has
been supplied. The world of toast
lovers, and it is large world, has
sighed for method to keep toast both
crisp and hot. The old-fashioned toast
rack conserved its crispiness but pro-
vided excellent facilities for the escape
of its heat, while TO serve it wrapped
in napkin keeps it warm, indeed, bp'
keeps it moist as well. An inventive
genius has solved the problem, and in
the production of a toast crisr.'r'
made life again worth living. The
"crisper" is not unlike chafing dish
il appearance and scheme. There is a
covered pan, and lamp; the toast goes
into the pan, the lamp is lighted, and
crispiness begins to last until the dc
mand is satisfied. Y. Mail and Ey

A host of quaint usages cluster about

The lord mayor is elected on Michael
mas day, not, indeed, by the ordinary
rate-paying electors, but by body
known as the livery, composed of some
eight thousand members of the ancient
trade guilds. The candidates must be
aldermen and have served in the office
Of sheriff. Tie livery submits two
names to the court of aldermen, which
almost invariably selects that which is
mentioned first; so that the choice vir-
tually rests with the livery, though
that body is largely influenced by the
unwritten law that, except in extraor-
binary cases, aldermen shall fill the
mayoral chair in turn according to
seniority. The lord mayor elect is

November the favored one is sworn
in before the judges of the high court.
1t Is this swearing-in at the law
courts that gives rise to the most wide
ly known of the city's traditional GER
emonies-the lord mayors show, as the
civic procession which accompanies the
new lord mayor to and from the law
courts is popularity called. There is
nothing quite like it anywhere else in
the world. Philosophers sneer at it,
poets pick it to pieces-and both go to
see it. 1t is, indeed, the sole city Gus
tom that arouses lively interest
throughout the metropolis, and thus
affords the only occasion when the
lord mayor, his civic friends and his
officers are brought face to face with
the masses of greater London. AS for
the procession itself it has been de-
scribed over and over again. Suffice it
here to say that of late years lord may
ors have evinced a desire, without
treading too much upon the corns Of
! tradition, to dispense with what has
not inaptly been called the circus ele-
ment of the show. Thus elephants
have given place to fire-brigades, and
and mermaids and shepherdesses
fresh from Whitechapel at few shil-

THE VALUE OF HOT WATER.
II Used Freely, Its Beneficial Results AR
Surprising.

Surprising.
Advice on the use of water Is always
timely. So many general recommends
tions are offered to boil water, and so
few people are found to follow them,
1t seems hardly wise to continue with
we'll meant platitudes which no one
heeds.
Boiled water is always fat and in
sipid, and few, if any, ever enjoy water
SO treated, as general beverage. In
cities reasonable care is taken to
have good water, and, if it is
to be used plain, it had better be
fresh drawn and not boiled or filtered,
unless the filtering medium is replaced
often or returned. AS very few per-
sons take the precaution to recharge
filters, the only safe thing is to do with.
out one. While II is perfectly true that
filtered water will show brighter than
unfiltered water, 1t is also true that in
passing through filter which has
been used for two or three months, the
water will take up imperceptibleg germs
| far more deadly in their results than
the matters removed.
If water must be boiled, it had bet.
ter be used as hot as it can be drank,
or if drank when cooled, be favored
with small quantity of some mild acid
to render it palatable.
Visitors to summer resorts arc natur-
ally concerned about the quality of
water they are to drink there. Per-
haps it is not too much to say that next
to the lovely scenery of the Green and
White mountains of Vermont and New
Hampshire the water supply is the
strongest attraction. With the mount
ain scenery and the strong air one finds
good water is nearly always associated.
This double advantage is known to
produce the best type of physique in
man, and to yield results of equal value
in domestic animals kept for profit.
The solvent power of water makes or
mars the health and happiness of a
community. This solvent action ex-
plains the extraordinary effects pro-
duced by the use of well-known popu.

their sources in the New England
