THE FAIR IN MAIAMORAs.
1t was the Most Successful Fair Ever Held
by the Ladies Of Hope Church.
(From a PRESS REPRESENTATIVE

IT was the Most Successful Fair Ever Held
by the Ladies of Hope Church.
(From a PRESS Representative
On Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings of last week the ladies of the
Hope Evangelical Church, held their
fourth annual fair and supper in the
store room of John Eagan, on River
street. The proceeds amounted to
two hundred and twenty dollars.
Many had to turn away as there was
not room enough for all to get in.
The supper was famous in all its ex-
cellency. 1t shows what the ladies
of that place can do in the way to
suit the taste of the inner man. The
fancy work brought in the handsome
amount of SS1.24 alone. The new
woman dressed up in doll fashion
was bought by Miss Agnes Wilkes
and the baby with long clothes was
taken by Martin Fisher.
The ladies are now discussing as
to whether they should have G
hall for the use of the church, ant
renting to good parties for some
good purposes. A large building
with a large room to hold about 500
people should be built in that grow
ing village, and it will be an attrac
ton to that place, and credit t.
the ladies.
The Royal Templar of Temperance
No. Sc, of Port Jervis, attended in q
body, numbering 3s, the ladies ex
pressed their gratitude to the above
lodge in being generous in coming
acrosssthe bridge, and partaking o
their excellent supper, and entertain
ment.

Ihs Thrse KInEs Of the East

The story of the magii' or Three
Kings of the East belongs, of
course, to Christmastide, and the
alteration of the wise men formed a
favorite scene in early English
mysteries. In the legend three
kings are called Melchoir, who was
old, with gray hair and beard, and
who offered gold to the infant Saw
iour Jasper, who was young, and
presented frankincense, while Bal
thasar, of dark complexion, with
dark, flowing beard, brought myrrh.

number Of typhoid fever cases reported
IN that city in the months Of July, Au'

Of the disease is attributed to tho water

Here 1t is in a nutshell. 1t Is exactly
what the Republican party intends to
do a. soon a, 1t gets the chance. The
people have voted against tariIi policy
that drains the treasury SO that 1t can.
not mcct tho running expenses OF tho

and they have voted for atarifr that will
give home industries the advantage over
foreign industries in home markets.

will pass when they havo Republican

Senator Lodge has been giving our
English friends some wholesome in

goes to the root Of tho matter when he
tells them that the people Of this coun-

Senator Lodge thinks that ut tho
coming session Congress will declare
the Monroe doctrine to be an integral
part Of tho policy Of the United States,
This will serve ,oToirssh tho minds Of

to them that we do not intend that
there shall DO any more territory grab

European powers cannot well find
fault with this policy, II they may go

have the might, It should strike them

going too far when it says it will have
