when all the leading artists of both
Europe and America were performing at
the various theatres of that city, none
attracted more attention or won more

Annabelle's BUTTERFLY Myriad and
Golden Shower dances, with the mar
vellous light effects introduced, are most
beautiful creations.

NEWARK, Sept. 9, 1S96.-Newark put
on it's holiday apparel yesterday when the

Flags were flying everywhere, and many

decorated with bunting and national coll

AIDE, in which about 1900 participated.
Owing to the hardness of the Hudson
county delegation in arriving, the pro-
cessien was two hours behind time in
moving. The Newarkers were not at all
put out by the hardness Of the Hudson
men and whiled away the time listening
to the band play. Police Captain Daily,
with twenty-four patrolmen n twelve
mounted policemen, headed the process
sion. Then came the Newarkers, 500
with 800 men and two bands of music.
Jersey City followed. with about 800
more, and with them was a contingent
from Matawan, n. j., the members of
which carried canes and wore black and
white ~checkered caps. The great and
only brakes Sand of Elizabeth came
next, filling the Newark atmosphere with
the gorgeous music for which that band
is noted. Behind the band came 225 en-
thusiastic Elizabethians, who wore white
caps, carried canes and made a good APP
p~earance. They created much enthusi-
asm with a banner which they carried.

writer: II may have some capacity to
| tell the truth
Mr. Anthony's home life in Ottawa
was simple and unpretending. He was
not seen much in society and parties at
| the Anthony residence were uncommon.
He was always busy and as he walked
the streets was often preoccupied with
thought so that he sometimes failed to
salute his most intimate friends. Some
who did not know him believed he was
cold and unsympathetic, but nothing
was further from the fact. Those who
knew him most intimately assert that
he was most sympathetic and there was
no home where could be found more gen.
tleness and affection.
HIS positive nature made strong
friend and bitter enemies In the art
Of repartee he had but few equals. Short
~ after he had written an editorial in
the Ottawa Republican. in which he
said: '1f a yellow dog. without a tail.

famous committee of 100 appointed to
oppose the introduction OF the original
package business IN Ottawa The first
agent for a liquor house who arrived
with wet goods was invited to meet the
cornnf ttee at the court house. The
agent appeared and made statement OF
their case. Mr.. Anthony replied on be-
half Of the committee. Such witherng
sarcasm as he used has seldom found
parallel. Concluding. ne said: Can
you not see that you ar enot wanted

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 7J-tSkillful
horsemen contested yesterday in the
lists for the honor of browning a queen
of Cove and beauty. The scene of the
tournament was the farm of Mr. Jacob
M. Feance, at Ny. Lady's Manor. Balti-
more county. His son. Mr.. T. NJ
Pearce, had charge of the arrangements
Tor the meeting. at which We're gathered
nearly 300 persons from Baltimore clay
and county, Carroll and Hartford coun-
ties.
On breezy knoll were three gold and
black arches. through which the knights
rode, lance in hand, spearing iron rings
instead of each other.
To secure three rings and hold them
on the lance while riding at fun tilt was
the signal for a burst of melody from
the band, which was stationed near the
Judges stand. Then the marshals and
heralds rode down and escorted the vic
forfous knight through the lines OF car
.fiages which marked the sides of the
course. Applauding maidens looked on
with approval as each particular knight
rode his course. hoping to join in his
final triumph by being selected as his
partner at the coronation.
IN his charge to the knights before
they rode the tournament. Mr.. Elmer J.
Cook of the Towson bar, said:
There was a time when knights met
IN almost daily contests for honor and
principle. Now il Is only In communi
