ner, Last Evening, at Arion Hall
A Description of the Events OF
the First Evening.

The two days fair of the St. Johns
German Lutheran Church was opened
last evening, at Arion Hall
1t was a most brilliant affair and
probably. excelled anything Of the kind
that has been given this year. There
were seven booths, all beautifully and
appropriately decorated. One Of the
handsomest was the large fancy booth,
which was arranged in the centre Of the
hall. The names of the various de-
partments and the chairmen were as
follows:
Fancy BOOTH Mrs. w. Huebel;
twenty-five cent dish table, Mrs. John
Huseman; ten cent dish table, Miss
Carrie Sauer; apron booth, Mrs. VIM.
Fischer; ice cream booth, Mrs. Char
lotte Helmbright; country store, Mrs.
Harry Sehmichael; japanese booth,
Miss Anna Wagenheim; Rebecca at the
Well. Miss Louisa Kober; fortune tel
Ter, Miss Cornelia Meyer; proprietor OF
side show. Julius Blumenberg; supper
room, Mrs julius Lohse.
The German booth, where articles OF
small value were sold, was 4 unique
feature of the fair. The attendants
at this booth were attired in the pretty
costumes of the German peasant girl.
Handsome young ladies' dressed in at
tractiye japanese costumes attended
to the customers at the beautiful Jap
ancse booth, decorated in the Ameri-
can cOlOrs, and sold articles distinctive
~ of American manufacture and use.
The refreshment stand attracted a
great deal of admiration and attention.
The young ladies' here who served ice
cream and cake were attired I'm white
dresses and white Arctic caps. The
decorations of the stand were realistic
limitations of snow and hanging icicles.
The representation of Rebecca at the
Well was an attractive idea, and one
of the p.ettiest features of the tair.
Miss Louisa KOber represented Re-
becca, and served lemonade to the Gus
toners. drawing it from the well. The
side show was something very novel.
In it were seen a few Of the ribs of the
whale that swallowed Jonah. some Of
Samson's hair, and piece of one OF the
pillars of the church which he pulled
down. section of the ladder that Jacob
saw, the pictures of a few man-eaters,
and other interesting relics. Miss Cor
nelia Meyer performed the functions
of a fortune teller with all the aptuess
and acuteness of gypsy queen. Jacob
Braun, who was dressed as a Hebrew
peddler, and sold small packages to
the children for the sum Of five cents.
At the "Kountry Stoar' were sold all
the articles found at crossroads
shop. The general committee, who
had the arrangements OF the affair i'm
charge, were: Peter thinner, chair
man. Fred Schmeichel, secretary; Ju-
Illus Lohse, treasurer; John Friedel
and Rev. w G.. Ulfert.
During the entire evening the hall
was thronged with people. who eniov-
ed the sights of the fair and purchased
freely. A splendid supper was served
from six o'clock in the large dining
room on the second floor. This fair,
so successfully begun, will be contin-
ued tonight. and deserves to be well
patronized.

The Dillon, Wheat & Hancher Com
pany has Just received and placed on
exhibition q ilne me OF the new and
artistic Lonhuda pottery, and the spec

to lovers of art in that form.
Most Wheeling people are familiar
with the merits of lockwood pottery,
which has been sold here for years past
and has many deserved admirers. The
Lonhuda pottery is something after the
same general style, but is more artis-
tic both in decoration, glaze and pat

place in competition with either foreign
or domestic products of the potters
art.
