HANDSOME FURNISHINGS
In the deliberately Trimmed Booths of
the Palace Furniture

In the deliberately Trimmed Booths of
the Palace Furniture Company.
The Palace Furniture Company makes
a very novel and attractive exhibit.
Its booths are divided into several com
partments, and the firm shows an ideal
dining room, bed room and parlor. The
furniture is handsome, and the draper
les and wall decorations very tasteful.
Thousands of visitors have stopped to
admire the display, and the firm has
taken a large number OF orders for du-
p~licates of the furnishings which are
shown.
The Palace Furniture Company's big
city store extends from Ills Main street
clear through to Water street, and en-
braces every floor in the immense build
ing. The company has taken front
rank among the furniture houses OF
West Virginia, and it's trade extends
over nearly every county in the State.
This has been accomplished through
its credit system, which makes it posi-
Bile to buy at cash prices, and pay on
easy weekly or monthly payments. The
stock of goods embraces nearly every
article found in a w~ell-regulated house
hold, and the firm invites a comparison
between its credit prices and the cash
prices of other stores.

ARTISTIC WORK
In the Line Of Portraits-A Exhibit hat
Attracts Much Attention.

Connoisseurs in the Photographic art
have devoted considerable attention
dlring the week to the inspection of the
display made by j. e. Giffin, heal the
main entrance TO the Fair. 1t merits
more than a passing notice here, mas
much az it is an exhibit which reflects
credit not only upon Giftin, but upon
the city as well. 1t is a revelation TO
those who are devotees of the camera,
either as a pastime or a profession.
TO begin with, the posing in the speci-
men portraits, is of the highest artistic
character, and the printing, toning, and
mounting are unexcelled anywhere.
The portraits on exhibition show the
up-to-date ideas in photography, m
bracing the very newest things. the
colored Royal Etchings" are superb
pieces of workmanship. The %reproduc-
lions in miniature are exquisite, and to
most persons entirely new. The por-
celain work was much admired. 1t is
scarcely possible to say too much in
praise of Giffin's exhibit. The same
portraits will be sent to Chautauqua,
n. Y, next month, where they will be
entered in the competition of the Ma
tional Photographers Association.
Last night an additional attraction
at Giffin's booth was an Italian orches-
ira, which rendered a programme of de-
l.ghtful melodies.

THE DAY ON THE GROUNDS.

The Balloon Ascension a Great Success.
The Great Cake Walk-Several Fires.
Yesterday, both during the hours of
daylight and in the evening, was as
bright and cool and pleasant as could
be wished for any outdoor affair, and
the presence of many hundreds of
strangers in the city. the cessation Of
business at noon, and a general desire
on the part of the city and suburban
population to see the big show, combin-
ed to bring about a record-breaking at
tendance. BY three o'clock in the
afternoon it was estimated that at least
twenty-five hundred admission tickets
had been sold; by eight O'Clock this
estimate was increased to four thous-
and, and there were many after the
last named hour. The big rush was in
the evening, however. By half-past six
hundreds of people had c~ongregated at
the intersection of Ohio and South
Broadway, where the main entrance is
lONiISu, LII at oCNCh tiONh lICiC was
a jam which blocked the ticket win
dows and necessitated long delays in
securing the admission paste-boards,
no matter how hard the sellers worked,
and that they did work hard will be
freely attested by any one of them. At
eight o'clock the rush had not dimin-
ished, and at half-past eight it was
about the same, but by nine o'clock
the thousands had been passed within
the gates, although many came long
after that hour.
Inside the enclosure it was literally
true that you couldn't see anything for
the people. For the first couple of hun
bred feet south of the main entrance
locomotion was reasonably easy at half
past eight o'clock, but south OF that
the difficulties increased, and long be-
fore Fink street could be reached the
seeker after recreation became involved
in a jam which grew worse steadily as
he made further progress, if he had luck
enough to make any progress at all.
AS for reaching the entrance to the
Midway, or any point near it, it was
wholly out of the question until long
after the cakewalk was over. AS far
south as the south end of the line of
booths was the utmost limit TO be
reached. From that point to the grand
stand there were two or three thou
sand people, packed as tightly together
as they could be without danger. and
once in the crowd you had to stay there.
There was a great craning of necks
and standing on tip-toes to get a view
OF the stage, but it was anything but
satisfactory, only a favored few hun
dred who were up in front obtaining
any adequate idea of what was goinE

Hannah Bros, Cigars.

One of the most attractive double
booths in the Fair is that occupied by
Hannah Bros, cigar manufacturers,
and producers of uncounted thousands
of the justly famous Little Havanas."
The Messrs. Hannah have a regularly
licensed factory on the grounds. where
expert workmen, operating in plain
view, give a realistic demonstration of
just how the Little Havanas' are
made, and the booth is always sur
rounded by a crowd of ladies and gem
tlemen, who watch the modus oper-
andi with the greatest interest. The
decorations OF the booth occupied by
the firm are among the handsomest on
the entire grounds, electric lights be-
ing used lavishly, while the whole is
surmounted by an electric sign con-
tanning two hundred and sixty lamps.
A full line Of cigars. stogies and to-
bacco is kept for sale. and they will
make stogies for you while you wait,
If you want 'em that way. The Little
Havanas'' are undoubtedly the best
stogies produced in Wheeling, as any
old smoker will attest. Call to-day
and see how thy are made and what
they are composed OF. You will find
it's real tobacco.

most involluntarily whistled "There1l
Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" And a hot time there was-a
sizzling, bubbling, burning time that
double discounted the performances in
the Oriental theatre in Cairo.
The Judges who oficiated were John
Campbell and A. A. Maris, of this city,
and Isadore S~ulzbacher, of Steubenville
Lodge of Elks. C. R. Tracy was mas
ter of ceremonies. The Opera House
Band had a hard siege of it playing
Jasper Jenkins, the Cake Walk Coon"
for three-quarters of an hour contin-
uously.
The couples who were entered in the
walk were Robert Scott and Jennie
Dolsberry, who secured the first prize
of $40; George Kelsey and wife, who
captured second money, 81; w. Simp-
son and Liz" Fletcher; Sam Ramsey
and Jennie Roy; Joseph Anderson and
Miss Lee; James Rankin and Maud
Smith; Cally Ruffner and Lille Cum
ningham. The leader was Col. Arch
ibald Adonis Johnsing. The gentle
men were attired in gaudy red striped
jackets and the ladies wore white
satin slippers ard imported nigeria
The slippers and lingerie would not be
mentioned but for the fact that it was
on exhibition.
No description would do justice to
the cake walk. Liz" Fletcher, here
tofore standing in a class of her own,
was compelled to take a back seat.
Her partner in many a walk was the
leader, and she missed him. AS for
Arch" he was the real thing in a
very swell makeup, and he cut more
fancy carois than an ordinary man
would in a lifetime. The peculiar
mincing walk affected by the ladies,
their exquisite grace of carriage, the
air of abandon with which they dis
played their ankles encased in eilken
hose, and the dainty grace with which
they handled their skirts, the stately
bows and seductive smiles of the dusky
bells and beaux-all these would have
to be seen to be appreciated. Each
couple aimed to SO all the other one
better, and the competition vas fierce
to the participants and ~furiously funny
to the spectators. Several times the
crowd manifested its appreciation with
clapping of hands. The decision of the
judges was received with satisfaction,
ever to the neglect to give "Liz"
Fletcher so much as an honorable
mention.
The cake walk was such a signal sue
cess that it may be repeated Saturday
night.

DUSKY BELLIES AND BEAUX
Give One of the Most Attractive Perfor-
mances of the Week.


Chairman C. R. Tracy, of the special
features committee, planned wiser than
he knew when he arranged a colored
cake walk as the stellar feature for
Merchants Day. 1t has been the talk
of the hill' for several weeks; it will
be the talk of the town for several
months. 1t was not witnessed by
everybody on the grounds last night
simply because of the we'll known phil
osophical principle that two bodies
cannot occupy the same space at the
same time. The jam in front of the
elevated stage beggars description.
The dusky bellies and beaux who
were entered in the competition have
been rehearsing their walk for weeks.

Only One In His Line.

The Schwertfeger Manufacturing
Company is the only concern in this
city which makes a full line of trunks,
harness, and miscellaneous leather
goods. That all the products of this
enterprising company compare favor
ably with those manufactured else
where, is sufficiently demonstrated by
an inspection of the stock of goods in
the very tasteful booth near the ele-
waited stage. IL embraces almost every
conceivable article made of leather, and
shows not only beauty in appearance,
but skill and competency in workman
ship.

Tire were four fires on the ground
during the day, none of them serious.
Two occurred in booths during the
morning, one overhead arch burned out
about one o'clock in the afternoon. and
a small blaze started on the third arch
south of the main gate about half-past
eight last evening. At no time was
there any danger from these blazes,
as the iremen are very w%atchful.
The yacht ferries did a tremendous
business yesterday. One ferry carried
over a thousand people last evening
alone.
Many people rode to the grounds on
the street cars, last evening, and many
more came away by that means OF
transportation. 1t looked a bit strange
and unusual to see the cars going over
the steel bridge, filled with passengers.

on. All this time the Midway shows
and space surrounding them was filed
with a crowd which, having gotten in,
could not get out again, and this state
of affairs continued for at least two
hours. Finally the crowd got to cir
culating a little, at the end OF the
cake walk. and by ten o'clock 1t was
fairly possible to crowd ones way into
any portion of the enclosure. If you
took your time about it. Twice the
space at command could have been
easily filled, and doubtless hundreds of
people went away, even after securing
admission tickets, from sheer inability
to get about the enclosure. 1t would
have taken the State Fair grounds to
have held the crowd of last night.
To-day promises to be another big
day, as the weather reports are very
favorable. In fact, it is thought that
the remainder of the week will see a
daily average attendance of ten thous-
and, and the total for the six days of
the Fair will u not far from sixty
thousand, which breaks all records in
Wheeling. The Carnival has been a
big success, socially, financially and as
a spectacle we'll worth the money
charged, and it is a big feather in the
cap of Wheeling Lodge No. % and its
officers and members.
The balloon ascension was schedul-
ed to take place at two O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, as announced IN the Regis
ter, but the high wind and some diff
culties not we'll understood made the
imitation of the big bag an impossible
ity, and it was seven O'Clock in the
evening before the event took place.
The balloon assembled to a great height,
and when the parachute with its female
burden was detached, it drifted rapidly
to the south, alighting away down at
the lower point of the Island. The as
cension was witnessed by many thous-
ands of people, within and without the
grounds, many of whom had watched
for it for several hours.
The cake walk was scheduled for s
o'clock, but it was three-quarters of
an hour late, for various reasons There
were a large number of contestants,
but the list could not possibly be Sc
secured at the time, owing to
the immense crowd in the vi
cinity. The most that could be
seen was an occasional glimpse of the
stage with a couple prancing back and
forth, while there was almost contin-
c u cheering, particularly from those
close to the platform. 1t was after 8
o'clock when this feature was over, and
then there ensued a great contention
between those who had been in the
Midway and wished to get out, and
those on the outside who wished to get
in. Thousands left by ten o'clock, but
other thousands remained, and there
were many lively scenes until well af-
ter eleven o'clock.
