pleted the decoration Of the various
booths at Armory Hall for the\May fes-
tival which opens tomorrow The
booths that have been decorated thus
far all present admirable appearances,
and are trimmed in am exceedingly
tasteful manner. The floral booth is
adorned in green; the candy booth in
red. white and blue; the fancy booth in
pink and green; the ice cream booth in
white; the country store in blue and
red. and the lemonade booth in green
ana white. The most interesting fea-
ture of the festival will be the country
store. At this place one may purchase
most anything in any line OF goods,
while the most beautiful feature Will
be the floral booth. where any sort Of
ported plant and cut flowers can be
bought for a small compensation. How
ever. all the booths will be attractive
for the reason that each will be in
charge of a corps of the fairest maidens
that could have been selected, and there
is no doubt that the affair will be well
patronized The ladies who are to
have charge of the festival will be
granted the use of the hall gratis

AT THE PARKS.
Large Crowds TO Hear the Concerts at
Wheeling and Mozari Parks, in
Spite Of the Cold Weather. Very
Successful Attractions.

The weather yesterday was bright,
but the atmosphere was cold, partlcu-
larly in the evening. Under ordinary
conditions, the attendance at the parks
would have been light, but the splendid
concert programmes which had been
prepared attracted audiences to the re-
sorts, which were very large under the
circumstances. All who visited either
place felt we'll repaid in the pleasure
derived from listening to the splendid
musical programmes.
At Wheeling Park Brooke's famous
Chicago Marine Band was the magnet.
Two concerts were given in the Casino,
and special motors conveyed large
crowds to the park enclosure. The
music Of the band was up to its high
standard, which is sufficient praise,
as the organization ranks among the
foremost in America. The patriotic
selections created considerable enthusi-
asm. Brooke has a method Of arrang-
ing his programmes in such a manner
as to send home satisfied persons of
varying musical tastes. Miss Sibyl
Sammis fairly delighted her hearers
with her selections, and was compelled
to respond TO encores after each Of her
numbers. In every instance she sang
patriotic songs, and the audience was
very demonstratiye in manifesting its
approval.
The Chicago Marine Band will give
two more war concerts at the Casino
to-day, and it goes without saying that
large audiences viii be present
At Mozart Park, the musical pro-
grammes arranged for the May Festival
last Thursday, were rendered to fair
sized audiences In the evening, on
account of tie cold weather, the con
cert was given in the refreshment hall,
with most satisfactory results. Each
number upon the afternoon and even
ing programmes. heretofore published,
was given very creditable rendition,
but the honors fell to Miss Emma S.
Howard. of New Haven, Conn, whose
magnificent soprano voice so captivated
her hearers that she was accorded an
ovation. Her encore numbers were
especially pleasing, as they were Of the
popular order, and afforded the singer
an opportunity for the display Of the
dramatic feeling which she possesses
in a rare degree. This gifted songstress
has charmed all who have heard her.
not only by the admirable qualities of
her voice, but also because Of her gra-
cious personality.

YESTERDAYS WAR NEWS
Was Of a Sensational Nature and
Caused Many Inquiries
At the Register Office Bulletins
Read by Hundreds Last Night.
The Scarcity OF Flags and Bunt-
ing ~ Subscription List for the
Maine Monument Fund - Other
Matters of Local Interest.

Although the day was quiet, and
hundreds attended the two parks dur
ing the afternoon, the excitement over
the war news was intense. The Sun
day Register was eagerly sought dur
ing the morning, and the reports from
Manila and elsewhere as eagerly read.
IT was late in the Afternoon before the
first important bulletins were displayed
at the newspaper offices. After supper
the rumors Of the laundering or the
Cincinnati, and the engagement pc
tween SIMPSONS fleet, and the Span
ish Cape Verde feet, were received.
and within half hour after they were
posted on the Register windows, the tel
ephone bell started ringing, and in
uuiries for confirmation Of the reports
came from all parts Of the city and sur
founding towns.
The general feeling in this city ap-
pears to be that an engagement be-
tween the Cape Verde fleet and Ad-
niral SIMPSONS fleet, will result in q
signal victory for Inc American fleet,
and that such a battle will bring the
war 10 a speedy termination.
FLAGS SCARCE AND EXPENSIVE.
The war excitement has created an
extraordinary demand for American
flags and bunting Both articles are
extremely scarce, and retailers have
found it difficult to have their orders
filed There is not a large stock Of
United States flags in any retail store
in the city, and jobbers are all behind
in filing their orders. At one Of the
leading wholesale houses on Main
street, Register reporter was inform
ed that manufacturers will not guar
antee delivery of flags inside of three to
prices For example, he stated that a
flag which sold at wholesale for So so
a dozen, is now quoted at S11 and $12
a dozen. The demand for Cuban flags
is not heavy, but prices are also high
This house had several sample Cuban
flags, Of a small size, the wholesale
price of which was So % each
The war has also created a demand
for patriotic emblems and novelties
They are on sale at the stores in al
most every conceivable form. They
are nearly all in the shape OF designs,
OF small size, for personal wear.
