1.-THE Union Fire Company in active service
The thrilling rescue by the Chief. Characters
by the Company.
And now it is of the past Dark the hall and
cold the air. empty stage and vacant chair. But
viii see them. they declare, joke and song and
dance all there, in the Spring. The above dates
were rose colored ones on the calendars here
abo1ts. and the large audience which each night
filed SANKEY'S Hall to overlooking. testified to
the eagerness OF the villagers to be entertained
as well as to help the Fire Company. The cur
tain arose on schedule time disclosing to view
semi-circle of elegant gentlemen of color. gor-
geous as the sunfowers of the field, ten black
diamonds. bedecked with dazzling rivals Of the
Kohinoor on shirt bosoms and fingers. Merrily
ratified the bones loudly tinkled the tambour-
ines, Justify sang the brethren, and the show
opened with professional swing and gusto that
promised great things tor the rest of the pro-
which were fully realized. Songs,
with dancing and cake walk accompaniment,
iesss sly gbes at various unsuspecting victims in
the audience, stories of doubtful authenticity,
hearty laughs, ringing choruses, lachrymose
ditties. original sketches and recitations given
with fine dramatic force, held the close attention
Of the large audience for several hours. The
show, with several new features, was repeated
on Monday evening, with an increased attend
ance. The black face artists have been urged to
repeat the affair here, and later give it at the
Woodbury. Opera House. A large sum of money
has been realized for the Fire Company through
the interchangeable efforts of few members who
are being complimented on all sides at their
success.

more expensive Paris and

ago.
We try to make these hats
as sketchy as possible-full Of
the lines and suggestions that
we study and learn from the
artistic Paris beauties; or ex-
pensive and, often, as artistic
American hats.
The styles are good the
materials are not the exclu-
sive sort. but good too; the
milllners who make them have
the same chance to study as
those who make the more ex-
pensise hats. They make more
hats, and do more of the work
by machine, than is done on
the more expensive; but there
are people who can't tell them
apart.
We're selling more than
ever and have had to make
the Golden Salon twice as big
togive them-and you-room.

A Modern Horse-Store

We've not said very much
about our horse goods, be
cause we weren't doing the
business so much better than
everybody else, as TO justify
it. It's different now. Come
and we'll show you better
storeful of harness, whips, sad
dies, bits, blankets, and every
thing else belonging to horses,
than you've ever seen before.
Harness for every concelva-
bic need and more kinds of
bits and contraptions than
anybody but horsemen knew
existed - everything that is
friendly to the uses and health
|of a horse-from spurs to med
icine.

Boys and mems saddles,
So to SIS.
Bits, 25c to $7-one of the
most interesting cases in the

We are very proud of our
model stable-the only kind,
really, a horse ought to have.
1t explains itself; but, to bring
you to see it, well tell you
that it is perfectly drained and
saves enough bedding in a
year to pay for itself.
We should be glad to take
your order to build such stalls
for the comfort of your horses.
And in fact anything that can
contribute to your horses
health and efficiency we have,
or can get.
The head of this department
has made harness for the lead
ing horses in the world, and
what he doesn't know about
horsesWell, ask him any
thing you like and he will be
ready for you with the right
kind of advice, and what is
more to the point, with the
right kind Of goods.
We are on the right track
now in the harness line; and
with your help, people, we are
going to have just the incest
business that ever was done.
