HOW THE FLOATS ARE MADE
Description of the Realistic Effects and Artistic
characterization Used

characterization Used
Behind high canvas partition in
Naud's warehouse large space is reserved,
that has for several weeks been the scene
of much activity and much concern to
Fawcett Robinson, the artist of the Fiesta
and of the artistic committee.
The sound of the hammer and saw can
be constantly heard from early morn until
other material at different periods during
the day, and mechanics are busy carrying
out instructions given by the artist.
Many people are peeping through the
canvas in an effort to obtain view of
the interior, for behind that barrier are
being constructed the floats that will be
the main feature in the parades.
Strict orders have been given that
nobody shall be allowed to inspect or visit
the place where these floats are being
made and decorated, and this action of
the Fiesta committee is particularly neces-
sary, as they desire to surprise the public
with the magniticence and grandeur of
their floats at the proper time. If they
permitted the public to view the floats in
advance, all interest in them would be
lost.
The description OF how the floats are
made, however, will not detract from the
public interest nor destroy the illusion
WueH SceIl III tle pdTdueS, anu LOT UudU
reason The Herald representative visited
Nauds warehouse and is enabled to give
a faithful account of the procedure en-
ployed in the construction of the floats.
The rule observed by parade commit
tee in the American and continental cities,
where carnivals are held, is first to select
a theme and then employ an artist to
make designs and illustrations from works
of art and other data to make the pictures
represented historically correct.
After the committee have approved the
sketches submitted by the artist, the
foat-builder is appealed to, who in his
line is considered a specially valuable
man. To the latter is assigned the duty
of building and decorating the floats ac-
cording to the sketches, and he is gener-
ally modeler and scene painter of orig
inality and artistic taste. On his skill
depends the successful presentation OF the
floats after the designs of the artist.
Each float has to be made a separate
study in it's details. The painting, de-
corating and general effect must be APP
piled with true artistic taste and merit in
order to meet with popular approval. To
his judgment and executive ability the
committee must look for the success of
the floats. as
The artist. in commencing to build
a float, proceeds lin the same man
ner as scene painter when he designs a
big scene with the exception that the lat
ter maps out the enlarged outlines on
canvas stretched to the height and width
of the frame, and that the float builder
marks the outlines in charcoal ON the
float. Agssa .a5

All floats must be provided with gentle
horses. All horses must be led by one at
tendant at each horses head. Horses are
to be provided by the owner of the float
unless otherwise ordered.
The artistic committee reserve the
right to reject any float for improper con-
struction or unsatisfactory character, re-
lection to be without appeal save to the
Director General.
Provision should be made for satisfac-
tory illumination of such floats as appear
in night parades.
Permits to enter the floats in any pa
rade must be obtained before the opening
day of the Fiesta. Such permits to be
signed by two members Of the srtistic
committee.

requests. Miss Bertha Roth has been
placed in charge of the donations among
the French and Spanish ladies and she
finds them as enthusiastic on the PROPOSE
ton as the native daughters.
Since The Herald called the attention OF
the ladies to the proprety OF making
themselves heard in La Fiesta they have
worked earnestly and faithfully in every
direction, and they deserve great credit
for the able and business-lke manner in
which they have conducted their affairs.
With the banner as an emblem OF their
patriotism and their selection of Queen,
the ladies may safely assert that they have
made themselves heard in La Fics-a They
have shown when public festival arrives
and the necessity arises for their co-opera-
ton that they arc equal to the task.
The delegates from the different cities
in Southern California, who were here to
confer with Fiesta management in regard
to the participation in the carnival, have
expressed themselves greatly delighted
with the cordial reception they received.
But more than this they were surprised
at the thorough and systematic manner
III which the management is conducted.
They have not only promised to add to
the lustre of the occasion, but have guar
anteed to see that their cities would take
part in u manner worthy of so grand and
elaborate festival as La Fiesta.
1t is certain that most, if not all of the
cues Will send from one to three HoatS
and that large delegation of the citizens
will remain here during Fiesta week.
The Chinese have as yet given no decid-
ed answer whether or not they will par
ticipate. At u meeting held during the
week one OF the Chinese organizations de-
cided to he guided by the wishes of the
Chinese merchants and to take part in La
Fiesta if they so desired.
The death of Luie Seuy, who was
killed by a highlander, has retarded the
arrangements and it is possible ,hat no
action will be taken by the Chinese Board
of Trads until some time this week.
While the feeling in regard to La Fiesta
is most friendly, some of the Chinese
merchants are somewhat timid to appear
in public. They have been assured, how
ever, that they will be amply protected,
and that they need entertain no fear of
bodily injury.
The artistic committee have decided to
abandon their proposition of issuing a
souvenir containing an elaborate descrip-
ton of the subjects represented in the
floats.
This action leaves Mr.. Nichols pro-
gramme the only official publication in
, the field. 1t will be highly artistic and
the selection of views of this city and
surrounding country will place before the
public collection of grand scenery and
imposing structures of the highest charac-
ter. The engraving, printing and bind
ing will be done by the best talent in this
city, and the work itself will be so meri-
torious that it will serve as an advertise
ment for this city from mechanical
standpoint.

Quotations for Titles.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
If this craze of American heiresses
for foreign titles continues much long
er the newspapers will have to print in
their market reports something like
this:
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE title market
today was firm, with a strong demand
from America. Quotations were as
follows: English prince, $1OOOO,oOO;
English dukes, $4,000, 600; English WIS.,
counts, 100000; English lords, 81, 0OO,-
600; German titles of first grade, 3d.
OO,00O@ 100000; second grade, $780,
OO0a 100000; French titles fairly &C
tive at unchanged prices. Sales, 2
English princes, to Miss Pork. OF
Chicago, and to Miss Lard, ci Kansas
City, at best quotations; 3 English
dukes, one to Miss Magnate, of New
York; one to Miss Bean, of Bnslo and
one to Miss Oil, of Pittsburg: German
titles of first grade, one to Miss Eonan-
"a, OF San Francisco; one to Miss Snob,
of Washington; one to Miss Coal, OF
Philadelphia: one to Miss Wheat, of
Minneapolis; one to Miss Gas, OF st.
Louis, and one to Miss Brewery, OF
Milwaukee; 2 French titles, one each
to Miss Cotton, of Memphis, and one
to Miss Sugar, of New Orleans, on pit.
Russian titles are drug on the mar
ket. Turkish titles cannot be sold at
any price. A strong bull movement is
expected in few days, which will be
caused by lively bids of several New
York heiresses for titles of the first
grade.

The enrolment of the college is now
239-the largest in the history of the
institution. A great many new stu
dents are expected after Christmas.
On October 3lst, Wingate Memorial
Hall was filled to hear the famous lee
turer, Tom Dixon, of New York, who
graduated here in the class of 'S3. His
subject was, "The New Woman" and
was discussed in his usual mastery
manner.
The old students would hardly recOg-
nize the Latin recitation room. Prof.
Carlyle and the members of his Latin
class have provided it with elegant
chairs, which for beauty confer credit
upon the manufacturers.
Prof. Poteat, of the chair of Biology,
will address the Thirteenth Baptist
Congress at Providence, r. l., on the
18th inst. His subject is, "PhysiOlOgi-
cal Bases of Morality"
Rev. c.. w. Blanchard, travelling
agent of the college, brings encourag-

endowment.
The Euzelian Society has elected Mr..
Bruce Benton, of Monroe, orator to
Morehead. The Philomathesian So
ciety has not as yet elected their rep

REMEDIAL METHODS.

"Many invalids believe that remedies
necessarily imply medicines, and med
icines only. This is serious mistake,
for it not only leads them to be content
with such limited effects As drugs are
able to produce, but prevents them
from acquiring a proper knowledge Of
the remedial resources which exist
within the organism itseif-the very
agencies by which in health, the vital
powers are developed and maintained.

we have ascertained that the nature of
these physical agencies, as adapted To

mand, and We have no hesitancy i'm

THE EXPOSITION OUT OF DEBT.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars Contrib
uted to 1t by Atlanta Mon.

One Hundred Thousand Dollars Contrib
uted to it by Atlanta Men.
ATLANTA, &C., AT a meeting
to-day of the directors of the Cotton
States and International Exposition,
the Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, Samuel NJ. Inman, announ-
ced that he had raised, among few
citizens, cash subscriptions to the
amount of one hundred thousand dol
lars, to cancel the accumulated in
debtedness of the exposition. This
puts the exposition on a firm finan-
cial footing, with gate receipts in
creasing largely every day. Of the
$1CO, 900 subscribed, Mr.. Inman heads
the list with half of the whole amount,
the other $500 being contributed
by members of the Board of Direc-
tors.
Since the opening of the exposi-
ton, Sept. 10, its available fund for
operate expenses has been confined
to one-third of the gate receipts, the
remaining two-thirds having beet
obligated as a redemption fund on
the bonds for $4,000 issued last
spring. AS is the invariable case
with expositions, the first months
gate receipts we're not as heavy as
expected, and not until about two
weeks ago was the one-third of the
gate receipts sufficient to meet the
current expenses and such other in
debtedrs IS as had to be incurred.>
The gate receipts yesterday showed
% ,0OG admissions, aud, notwith-
standing the fact that to-day has
been wet and the weather penetra-
ting, the admission has gone beyond
20 900. More than 80 per cent. OF
the bonded Indebtedness has beer
paid, and the balance is considered
certain.
The exposition directors are graft
fed at being enabled to wipe out al
accumulated Indebtedness, and at tn.
pleasing reports from sill parts O
the country concerning increased at
tendance. The railroads centerins
in Atlanta are now bringing thei
trains in double sections, and the at
) tendance this month no doubt will b

The success of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
cOnquering scrofula in whatever way
it may manifest itself is vouched for
by thousands who were severely al
ficted by this prevalent disease, but
who now rejoice over permanent cure
by Hoods Sarsaparilla. ScrOfula may
appear as humor, or it may attack the
glands of the neck, or break out
in dreadful running sores on the
body or limbs. Attacking the mucous
membrane, it may develop into catarrh
or lodging in the lungs lead to con-
sumption. Come as it may, faithful
course of treatment with Hoods Sar-
saparilla will overcome it, for working
upon the foundation of all diseases,
impure blood, the system is clarified
vitalized, and vigor, strength and
health restored to the body.
