"Oh, won't 1, indeed?" retorted jean

land 1t would be only natural If he
felt himself sighted.
I'm don't see what reason he has to
expect that / should invite him to my
dinner party"
1T seems to me he has every reason
to expect 1t; you have always shown
marked preference for his company,
and he has always been ready to take
you wherever you wanted to go and
give you a lovely time. I'm sure to snub
him now because he lives at No. 10
seems too ridiculous for anything. Why
don't you tell him the reason? 1t would
be only fair"
He can find out the reason" re-
turned JEANNE, with wlllful petulancy.
IT have invited my twelve for next
week, and am not going to have any
thirteen around. So help me to address
the envelopes, like good girl"
"Eave you all the invitations writ
temp
II had before you came in, but
have changed my mind about some of
them, so will write them over again"
shall address the envelopes from
this list?" asked Meta, holding the one
recently completed in her hand.
"Well, no." answered JEANNE, hesi-
tatingly. II shall need that to correct
from. Here are some all ready" she
added, taking a few daintily-folded
notes Of cream-lald paper from a pile
and placing them beside Meta. "These
intend to go, and as finish the 9TH
ers you can address them. / wish my
handwriting was as clear as yours"
The girls worked buslly and silently
for some time; only once Meta looked
a trlfle perplexed as she opened one of
the notes and she asked
Ibid you say all Of these were to
go?"
Yes" answered JEANNE with a little
Sigh.
And Meta continued her writing aft
n marking the tears in Jeannie's eyes.

derlng aimlessly up street toward
Ford's Theatre, we met a traglcal pro-
cession. 1t was headed by group OF
army officers walking bareheaded, and
behind them, carried tenderly by
company of soldiers, was the bier Of the
dead President, covered with the flag OF
the Union, and accompanied by an es-
cort Of soldiers who had been on duty
at the house where Lincoln died. AS
the little cortege passed down the street
to the white house, every head was I'M
covered, and the profound silence which
prevailed was broken only by sobs and
by the sound Of the measured tread of
those who bore the martyred President
back to the home which he had so
lately quilted full of life, hope, and
courage.

THROUGH A BRICK.
You Can Blow Out Flame If Your
Lungs Arc Stout.

Lungs Arc Stout.
"You wouldn't have believed 1t pos
sible to blow out a candle flame
through a brickbat," remarked a cele-
brated physicist, whose penchaht is to
give scientific research a practical bear
ing. 1T can be done, however, and 1t
illustrates the all-pervasive qualities Of
air. Most rooms are largely ventilat-
ed through their walls, and the brick
and mortar are merely rudimentary
lungs, which take in and throw out the
atmosphere with little hindrance.
"You may try the experiment your
self. Place a candle on the other side
Of your brick and use two tunnels, with
the fiaring ends on the opposite sides Of
the brickbat with the small end of one
in line with your mouth and the small
end of the other trained on the can
die flame. The least breath will make
the light flicker, and hearty expira-
tion will eXtinguish 1t altogether. Try
it and see."

gwen under the auspices of the state
editorial association, ST. Paul Press

The special excursions themselves will
bring in large number OF sight

Say to Danforth that reports from
our agents, and the heavy requests

East, notably Massachusetts, Mary
land, Ohio and Connecticut, stood in
solid ranks for ST. Paul. The ST.
Paul men were Handicapped by the
action Of the railroads in the North
west refusing to give 1-cent a mile
rate this year to Louisville, when
lines from all other sections had
made 1T. But the official written
guarantee of the Chicago Great
Western railway, read by Capt. Nc
Cardy, and speaking glowingly of
the G. A. R., pledging the 1-cent rate
for next year, assured the victory.
The committee and all the North
west people are much pleased with
the action of the Great Western.
The encampment will bring the
largest crowd st. Paul has ever en-
tertained. The Louisville papers
| claim there were 100000 visitors here
this year. Several departments have
| already secured accommodation in
st. Paul and others have applied for
quarters. 1t is a great opportunity
for st. Paul and the Northwest.

have men and boys clinging to sides
and rear ends was an exception. 1t
bespeaks an excellent discipline and
an intelligent, careful corps of en-
ployeS to state that not an accident
of any kind was reported as having
occurred to a person travelling on the
street cars. Occasionally a car would
get off the track-and last night one
was still standing in the roadway out
at Hamline = but the delay was not
great in any instance. Next year will
very likely see a double track laid on
the whole route to the fair grounds.
The agricultural and the railroad ex-
hibits were again the centers of at
traction, although the G o e's ar
ticle on the horticultural display di-
rected the attention of thousands to
the south end of the agricultural
building. Proprietors of novelties who
had stands in the big buildings were
surrounded all day long by people
who were merely curious or willing
to buy. The amount of money spent
in this way must have been fully
equal to the amount expended in the
endless array of eating and drinking
booths. 1t would be interesting, if it
were possible to ascertain, even ap-
proximately, the amount paid out
by the average visitor. 1t was en- ex-
ception to find sightseer who was
not carrying some trinket or curiosity
that had been purchased on the
grounds, especially among the women
and children.
No greater praise can be written for
the admirable provisions of the man.
agement than to set down the fact
that not one case of willful disturb
ance or disorderly conduct has yet
been registered. The presence of a
goodly force of Twin City policemen
and detectives has deferred even the
bold pickpocket, and he has not been
in evidence at all up to date. Officers
on fair duty are enjoying a temporary
snap. The hardest duty they are called
on to do is to escort the fair officials
who carry about the tin boxes in
which gate receipts and collections for
privileges are gathered.
While all previous records of at
tendance were thrown far into the
shade by the number on the grounds
yesterday, it is not unlikely that today
may witness similar outpouring 1t
depends in large measure on the tenn
where near that of yesterday umdoubt-
edly multitudes will again throng the
grounds.
Judges Of exhibits In the various
departments, divisions and classes are
we'll along with their work In fact
in some instances they have finished,
and the tags have been attached which
denote first, second and third prize
winners. 1t is regrettable, however,
that it is not possible to announce the
prize winners in detail before the close
of the fair. This is possible in the
stock lists, but in fruit and poultry,
for instance, it is an impossibilft.
Cards attached to exhibits simply give
the nature, class and number To find
the exhibitor and his place of resi-
dence a comparison with the secre-
tary's books is necessary.

CARNIVAL AT COMO.
Saturday Night Will BE n Gala
One at the Lake.

The Venetian carnival at Como will
fittingly end the round of gayety which
the business men of st. Paul prepared
for fair week. The fact that there is
to be special programme at the fair
tomorrow, and also that excursions
are to be run tomorrow by the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern rail-
roads, will undoubtedly bring great
crowds into the city. These will be in
here tomorrow evening, and for that
reason it was thought desirable to
have some form of entertainment. The
parades will be exhausted with to-
nights programme, and therefore it
was decided to get up a water carni-
val at Como on a large and magnificent
scale
The lake is to beautifully decorated,
and for that purpose 5000 Japanese
lanterns will be brought into play.
There will also be an endless variety
of colored lights and fireworks. The
music will be furnished by a popular
local organization, and everything will
be done to make the event worthy of
the occasion. 1t will not only be a
fitting wind-up of the great entertain
ments provided during fair week, but
it will also mark the close of the sea-
son at Como.

Saturday night. The army nurses
were entertained today, and the
daughters of veterans held brilliant
reception for G. A. r. veterans and
other visitors. There were eighteen

to welcome addresses, responses, and
to the hearing of the annual reports
of the national officers. The total
membership at the present time, ac-
cording to the reports, is 110,774, a
gain of 1886 members over last
year. The total number of corps is
given as 3,141, a net gain of 81 dur
ing the year. The amount expended
in relief was s64,969. The total
amount expended during the year,
including relief and current ex-
penses, was $1SS.329, while the total
amount of relief furnished since or
