Frew,s Farnlturc display.

OF all the furniture displays at the
Fair, none are more tastefully arrang-
ed, or embrace a higher grade CT goods
than that of Alexander Frew. The
booth is handsomely embellished with
the purple and white decorations 50
prevalent this week, and the surround
ings are designed to display the fur
niture to the best possible advantage.
A very handsome parlor suite, and a
magnificent bed room suite are on ex-
hibition, and have attracted so much
favorable comment that the firm has
taken orders for several duplicates Of
the two suites.
AS a matter of course, the space in
the booths does not permit the making
of a comprehensive furniture display,
but enough is shown to indicate the
high grade of goods which are to be
found in Frew's furniture salesrooms
at No. 1908 Main street. The store

the conventional one for such occa-
sions. AS the party re-entered the car
riages to be driven away the crowd
cheered vociferously and the band rem
dered "There'll Be a Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight"
After the ceremony the announce
ment of the leading attractions for to-
day were made, and then the crowd
broke for the Midway, and such a hus-
tie and jam was never seen about tick
ct booths in Wheeling. In fifteen min
utes standing room was at a premium
in every show and SO it continued dur
ing the remainder of the night until
the gates closed upon the third day.
The rain storm doubtless kept a few
hundred people away, but the loss was
not pereeptable, and it was a common
remark that had the evening been as
fair as the two previous ones the
crowd could scarcely have been handled
with satisfaction.
To-day promises to be the "big" day
of the week. The banks and many
business houses will close at noon, and
the number of strangers in the city will
be greater than upon any previous
dav.

EVENTS OF TIE DAY.
Inc wedding Last Evening Attracted an
Immense Crowd of People

inc "eddlng Last Evening Attracted an
Immense Crowd of People.
The two notable events of yesterday
at the Street Fair were the arrival of
Grafton Lodge No. 3OS, and the we'd
ding on the elevated stage.
The Grafton Lodge came in their
own special train, bringing about sew
enty-fve men. a band and a goal. OF
the members, thirty-eight were in uni
form, and the Lodge carried their
handsome banner. A committee of
Wheeling Lodge met them at the train
and the visitors paraded up town, the
snow white uniforms and purple UNI
brellas making a pretty sight. The
members were we'll supplied with watch
charms especially prepared for the
Wheeling Carnival, and these were dis
tributed with a lavish hand and made
interesting souvenirs of the visit. At
ter partaking of supper the lodge form
ed in line and paraded to the grounds,
arriving at the main entrance at South
Broadway and Ohio streets a little be-
fore eight O'Clock. During the interval
between the arrival OF the visitors i'll
the city and their march to the grounds
the thunder storm put in an appear
ance. and it was raining reasonable
hard during the march over the river.
The purple dye in the umbrellas wasn't
a fixture, by any means, and when the
column reached the main entrance it
was hard to tell whether the original
color of most OF the suits was white or
purple, as they presented a 'half-and-
half appearance. The visitors were
given a rousing reception, and the ova
ton extended all along the line Of
booths to the grand stand, where the
column broke ranks and the rain hav-
ing ceased an informal reception took
place.
Coincident with the arrival of this
Lodge the people began to pour into
the grounds at an unprecedented rate.
eager to see the wedding, which had
been scheduled for eight o'clock. The

half hour late. however, and the result
vas the audience grew and multiplied
until there were fully two thousand
persons within sight of the grand stand,
crowded together as closely as they
could possibly stand.
After many false alarms the two car
riages containing the happy coAple,
their attendants and the oficiating
minister, were sighted coming slowly
through the crowd along the booths,
and the Opera House band welcomed
them with the Welding March" from
"~Lohengrin.' The couple to be made
man and wife in the presence of the
multitude were Miss Maggie Murray
and Mr.. William H. Tyler, and they
were accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Bolden. The officiating minister was
Rev. Bummery, who performed the
marriage ceremony solemnly and i'm
pressively. The bride was attired IN
white, while the groom's costume was

THE BUSINESS DISPLAYS.
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 or 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 gen.
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 wan EN- 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 tlsy are made and what
they are composed Of. You will find
it's real tobacco.

Electrical Display

Electricity Is a prominent factor at
the Elks Fair, not only in the mag
nifcent illumination of the grounds
and the special designs at several
booths. but also in the elaborate ex-
hibit of electrical machinery and APP
planes at the booth OF the Mountain
State Electrical Company. 1t embraces
all the conveniences that the ingenuity
Of electricians have developed in re-
cent years and forms an interesting
study.
The Mountain State Electrial Com
pany Is composed OF capable, courteous,
energetic gentlemen who are thoroughly
familiar with all branches of the busl-
ness, and who take pleasure in giving
information and estimates. The com
pany is now engaged on a contract for
a telephone system from Clarksburg to
Parkersburg, and the big State contract
for an electric plant at the penitentiarv
In Moundsville. The company Is also
putting a light plant In John s. Welty's
wholesale and retail establishment, ON
Market square.

Fine Millinery DISPLAY.


A booth which invariably attracts
the feminine eye during the stroll down
the main thoroughfare. is that of Mars
cen L. Colvig, Wheeiing's leading mff-
iner. The display is elaborate and is
arranged In the booth in very attrac-
tive fashion. 1t embraces hats and
bonnets of the latest Partisan and New
York shapes and designs. Including n
number of strikingly beautiful exclu-
sive patterns. There is also a wealth
of the finery which is so attractive to
the ladies. This firm always aims to
be ~up-to-date. and its customers are
the ultra fashionable people of the city
and vicinity. The stock of millinery
in the store of NJ. l.. Colvig, on Main
street, is SO comprehensive that no
prospective purchaser can leave the
store with a want unsatiSiied. 1t Is a
millinery emporium. Mr.. Colvig's
booth at the fair has always been the
subject of admiring attention from lady
visitors.

D. eundlInr s Co.

One Of the handsomest displays OF
~haberdsshery on the grounds is to be
found in the tasteful both of d. Gund-
ling & Co. 1t is trimmed in the Eks'
colors, and a conspicuous feature OF the
decorations is a large elk's head, per-

magnificent pair of antlers. 1t attracts
a great deal OF attention. The display

and includes all the latest things In

NOTES OF THE FAIR.
Brief Chronicles of Various Events Trans
piring on the Grounds.

piring on the Grounds.
Three cases were treated at the City
Hospital booth during the day and ev-
ening. Two were temporary prostra-
lions from sick headache, and the third
was Mr.. George Lutz.
Just as the storm came UP last Eel
ing Mr.. George Lutz, who was on a
ladder arranging some protection from
the rain, slipped and fell. injuring one
of his ankles very painfully. He was
taken to the City Hospital booth where
mis- injuries were dressed, and in d short
time he was able to resume his du-
ties.
Remember the cake walk this even
ing at eight o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tyler, who were mar
RED last evening, will be presented
with a handsome bed room suite to-day
by the Elks.
All the banks will close at noon to-
day.
Z A large bunch Of keys was found at
the entrance to the grounds last night
by Tom Wolvington. They will be left
at this office to-day.
This is business mems day, and it
will probably be the biggest day of the
week. All the Wholesale grocers have
agreed to close their places of business
at noon. Other jobbers and retailers
will probably do the same.
The Grafton Elks are game to the
core. They marched up Market street
in the heavy rain Storm about seven
o'clock, and it was not until their own
band and the Opera House band desert
ed them, that they took to shelter.
They presented decidedly the nobbiest
and handsomest appearance of any
body of Elks who have been here.
Their white duck suits and purple unt
brellas justified the application to them
Of the phrase "the warmest babies in
the bunch" More power to Grafton.
The Grafton boys, who were so much
in evidence yesterday, will remain to-
day. Some of them will remain a
week.
The camels from the Streets of Cairo
will participate in the Shriners paraGe
on Friday afternoon.
1t was net until it was all over that
somebody suggested to Fred Theirs
that the Egyptian marriage ceremony
might have hitched him to the brown
skinned Oriental dancing girl "for
keeps" Fred shivered.
Tonight the bicycle parade will
take place. Every owner of a wheel,
in this city or vicinity, is invited to
participate. 1t will be cyclers night at
the Fair. The Elks will furnish Ian
terms gratuitously to all the cyclers
who assemble on Twelfth street at
seven O'Clock tonight, to participate
in the procession.
There will be another parade of local
and visiting Elks ABOUT seven o'clock
this evening, in business section OF the
city.
The c%ontagion of merriment claims
the visitor for a victim as soon as he
passes through the Midway gate.
The rain made it pleasant along ex-
hibitors avenue. but it was different
oh so different-on the Midway. The
little hills and knobs Of clay were slip

an involuntary trip down the tobog-
gan. A number of fat women made

May Come.
There was q veritable babel of
sounds on the Midway last evening.
The noisy cries Of the "barkers,"
mingled with the music of the orches-
tIion in front of Heckenback's wild
animal show. The black quartette at
the entrance to the Puerto Rican thea
tire, tried to drown the monotonous
chant of the Arabians who marched in
a weird procession up and down in
front of the entrance to the Streets of
Cairo. The tom-toms and cymbals in
several tents, and the indescribable in
struments in the Oriental theatre, add
ed to the general confusion. The Elks
from Grafton and Warrington added a
little spice with their noisy shouts, and
the musical dish which was served to
visitors could only be understood and
appreciated by those who were there.
The local Elks, who at first ap-
preached the Oriental people with a

taken freely of the Midway spirit, and
are now a part of the show. This is
literally true in so far as Fred Theirs
is concerned. He was taking tickets
at the Oriental theatre, and from his
position saw the Egyptian marriage
ceremony so often that he concluded he
could do the part of the groom to per-
fiction. The venerable, bewhiskered
sheik consented, and Fred was Joined
in marriage to ora of the dusky ORR
entail damsels.
Out in the Midway the Elks' commit
tee of "barkers" made the salary-draw-
ing "barkers" take a back seat.
Charlie Henning made things lively at
the Cairo gate, and his side partner,
Phil. Hanauer, was switched to the In
dian village to help out John Devine,
who was looking pleasant but not say
ing much. Jacob Snyder waxed elo-
quent on the merits of the Dane dog
show, and Charlie Killmeyer and
Charlie Aul turned many a dime into
the German village. There were Elks
everywhere, and they fully justified the
very serious charge against them that
they are the "best people on earth"
The center of fun-undiluted, effer-
vescent, and contagious-was the CEN
ter of the Streets of Cairo. where the
camels and donkeys were doing a
thriving business. The air was filled
with feminine screeches, as the hump
backed quadrupeds loaded and unload
! ed, but there was nevertheless, some
thing fascinating about the ride on the
camel. The donkey boys were not
overlooked either, and their seductive
cries of "R-r-r-ride Della Fox" 'R-r-r-
ride Holy Noses" caught many a Gus
toner.
The management of the Oriental
Company informed the Register man
that there is strong probability that
the band of eight Filipinos, who recent
ly landed from q steamer in Boston.
may be secured, and will probably join
the show in Wheeling Saturday. The
Boston authorities have the Filipinos
under close surveillance, on account of
the fact that they belong TO a hostile
race, and the fear that they may be
bent on mischief in this country.
1t is also likely that four Spanish
dancers will be secured. and a Spanish
theatre will be added to the Midway
shows.

The members of the visiting lodge were

umbrellas, and were fully prepared for

The rain the latter portion of the af-

the attendance, as the people fairly
swarmed to the grounds, where every
thing went as though there had been
no shower, with the single exception
of the balloon ascension, which was
abandoned. To-day's ascent is an
