While strolling along the street satur-
day afternoon, representative OF The
s;uN Joined the crowd that was thronging
into the wax works exhibition OF Mr..
Frank Chcyaier. The building No. 200
Market street and all the surroundings
are neat and clean, and show that the
proprietor aims at entering to the best
class OF citizens. The first object to
meet the gaze Of the visitor is the repre-
sentation OF an execution in Spain. Next,
one is attracted to the old French mode
of dispatchng criminals, true picture
in wax of President Carnot's assassin-
Santo. The next scene wildly po'trays
the Canadian method, viz: hanging.
One cannot but wonder at the skill and
ingenuity of man as eXcmpliticd in the
works which Mr.. Chcvalicr exhibits.
We would have no hesitation in criticiz-
ing the exhibition did it deserve critic
ism, and when we find it merits appro-
baton we are always and ever ready to
give credit where credit is due.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 2G.--'rhc Rev. Mr..
Chalmers, OF the Durham Avenue Chris
tian Church, made an attack on fashion,
able Cleveland churches in his sermon on
Sunday night.
Mr.. Chalmers said that Il week ago he
disguised himself as a working man and
attended one OF the most fashionable OF
Clcvcland's churches.
"For long time the ushers refused to
take any notice OF mc,' he said. 81 was
elbowed about until, even though | was
playing 4 part, was Inundated. Mean
time richly attircd men and women were
coming in and being shown to seats. As
plainly as they could, without ordering
me out, the ushcrs gave me to understand
that | was not wanted. Finally they
designated for my use the very rear pew
in the church."
