The Sanifarium Fair.

Rosenthal hall presented a lovely picture
last night at the opening Of the fair for the
benefit Of the sanitarium by the sisters of
charity. The western end of the hall and
various corners had been set apart for the
booths which appeared to good advantage.
The taste exhibited in the various decora.
tions was only surpassed by the beautiful
articles on exhibition, a detailed accoun t
of which THE Optic reserves for q later
issue.
Sisters Mary Baptist and Alexis were to
be seen about the hall skillfully putting
the finishing touches to the arrangements.
About $3.50 O'Clock Chief Justice Smith,
who had been unavoidably detained with
case In the court, assembled the stage and
In a few eloquent words declared the sani.
tarium fair opened. He was followed by
Attorney o. A. Larrazolo who entertained
the Spanish portion Of the goodly sized
audience for about half an hour with an
interesting address on "Charity the Queen
OF the Virtues" There is nothing like
sweet music to set an audience in good
humor and the young folks, and some old
ones too, tool the floor when the music
struck up about 10 O'Clock and held 1t till
the wee INA hours.
On the whole, the first night Of the sam
itarirm fair was a grand success, though
there should have been a larger turn out
by the citizens of Las Vegas to bid vel
come, to the Meadow City, the self-sacri-
fcing Sisters Of Charity. The fair will
continue three more nights, and it is to be
hoped that the hall will be crowded each
night.
The Sisters have already spent some
$4,000 in this city, and the people should
not forget it. especially those who have
been benefited already. and expect to be
benefited by this noble institution 10 the
future.
The chief feature Of the fair, tonight.
win be an interesting entertainmentby the
children. Attend the bazaar and bring the
little nnas to enjoy themselves. After the
entertainment there will be dancing. Re-
freshmsnts can be obtained at all hours.

TIMELY PRECAUTIONS.

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 10, 1S96.-A COM
bined effort is about to be made by city
banks to decrease the circulation OF
American bills in this city. AT present
the city is flooded with American silver
certificates. The following notice is post
ed in the Standard Bank today
'On and after Saturday, August Is,
American one dollar bills will only be
received for 80 cents"
1t is understood that other banks will
follow the example of the Standard Bank.
This action will probably result in a
much decreased circulation of American
bills in this city In regard to American
silver most of the city banks are not
accepting it at all. Some will accept
American silver only from customers, but
only in small amounts. The railway
companies refuse to handle it and de-
partmental stores are discussing the adj
visibility of refusing it as money.
HAMILTON, Ont, Aug. 10, 1S96.-Fol-
lowing the example of the Toronto banks,
the merchants and local banks here have
decided to refuse TO accept American sill
yer and silver certificates. For years
American bills and American currency
have been accepted at par by many mer-
chants. United States silver or silver
certificates will not be accepted in pay
ment of city taxes This action is not
due entirely to the silver agitation in the
United States but to the fact that at
present there is too much American sill
yer in circulation in Canada.

expecting to find papers incriminating
him, but after two hours search the
officers found nothing and hastily left the
steamer.
Ine passengers of the NigilaHcia were
quite indignant at what they considered
the high-handed outrage of the Spanish
officers in boarding an American steamer
and searching Portela's baggage after the
necessary passport had been procured by
MIN and handed to the authorities on
boarding the steamer. Mr.. Portela appar-

brought into the District Court this MORN

packed to suffocation, and several people

expectation be was not arraigned for
theft or burglary. but for the murder of
Frederic, N. Strange on the evening of
June p. Wills was pale but cool and eyed
the crowd as if he were the central figure
in a show. In a clear voice he waived ex-
animation and was ordered to jail to
await the action of the Grand Jury
The reason why Willis was arraigned
for the Strange murder is as follows
The police were diligently searching all
day Saturday and Sunday for the mask.
the hidden wheel which was taken on the
night of the tragedy, and reddish hand
kerchief which was supposed to have fig
Plerce's store at Raynham.
Willis apparently felt that the search
was going on and was restless and url-
easy. Ee kept up his bravado and snake
about his robing exploits as if he were a
hero but the officers detected an undar-
current of anxiety as il he feared that
something yet would be unearthed which
would fasten more than a robbery upon
him.
He finally took the police into his con-
fidence and admitted that he was the man
who stole Bosworth's wheel ON the night

met Strange and Lincoln. His face was
hidden SO that Strange, who was his
friend, did not know him He claims that

fell. He then rode off on Lincoln's wheel,
which was the better of the two and hid
himself " the cave which the police had
already discovered and which he had filled
with a miscellaneous assortment of goods

He claims that there was a Struggle. in
Which Strange caught his wrist and the

The nerve of Willis is also shown by
the fact that he attended the funeral Of
