have been arranged to present a more
pleasing effect; the large oil painting
Of the destruction of the Main was
presented to Supt. John s.. Mitchell, OF
the electric light company by the Fair
committee. The Masonic emblem was
encircled in electric lights and was very
| pretty. 1t swung in one of the large
glass windows of their lodge room.

INDUCED in by four little ~'coons."

During the recent mild days the
proprietors OF a few Of the Dumer-
Gus soda water stands In the east
side streets have reopened for bust
ness, Some stands In Ludlow. Suf-
folk. Norfolk. and Clinton streets
were actually doing business. Signs

favor. were displayed. and women
well wrapped up sat behind rows OF
glasses waiting for customers. In
some cases the signs were In fid-
dish alone. but In most eases they
were both In Yiddish and English.
The reason for this apparently nn-
reasonable activity IL the competi-
ton for steady patrons when the
neason for iced drinks comes around.
The principal patrons OF the stands.
which in some places average two
to a block. are working girls. and
they get into the habit OF going To
a particular stand. Consequently,
those who catch customers early are
likely to retain them during the
season, which on the lower east side
