Secretary of the Treasury Gage es-
Inmates the probable. surplus for the
current fiscal year at $50, 000 900.
The Secretary's estimates heretofore
have all been conservative and well
within the mark, so it is evident that
the task before Congress of reducing
the revenues is OF Importance. Unless
such reduction is effected the surplus
question will become serious.

ROYAL
Baking Powder

The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of le%avening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical; indiSpens-
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, I'M
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases Of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, buildings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.

And Will Pass At
Once.

lily accept this compromise.

ELECTION BOARD.
New Commissioner Appointed and
Members Qualify.

The State Election Board met
Wednesday and appointed county
boards for ala counties having cities
requiring registration Oct. 2. The
commissioners for this county are
Isaac CARROT, Chas, Nj. Meacham
and c. A. Brasher. They qualified
yesterday and officers for the city
precincts will be appointed by Mon
day. At the meeting of the State
Board, Morton K. Yonts resigned
and his place on the Board will
be filled by Judge Jas. Breathitt,
of this county, if the law is not
changed. In any event a Repub-
hcan will be on the Board and
Judge Breathitt will probably be
the man. His appointment would
prove satisfactory to men of all
parties, especially in this county
where he is best known.

Great Crowds Attracted To the
City Each Day-The Floral
Parade Yesterday.


ened Tuesday with a creditable
street parade participated in by the
fire department, police, military
company, etc. The attendance at
the park Tuesday was 1900, con-
sidered good enough for the first
day.
The principal free attractions are
the Diving Elks that plunge from
high elevation into a pool of
water; Senorita Cecilia, the Mexi-
can trapeze performer, and M.
Achille Philion, the equilibrist who
ascends a spiral incline standing
on ball, which he rolls up and
down at will. The band also
makes music at frequent intervals.
There are five or six pay shows
in tents inside the park. These
are the Midway, Tyler's Oriental
Palace, Montgomerys Beauty
Show, Southern Minstrels, Havana
by Gaslight, Hagenback, Jr., me-
nagerie, etc.
A number of fakirs were on hand
the first day and set up games of
chance that were not all permitted
to run. Some were so near gamb-
ling schemes that the authorities
suppressed them after one day.
There are a number of booth dis
plays and refreshment stands.
The handsomest and most elaborate
of the booths is that of Sam Frank
ell. Forb 81 Bro. have the most
extensive display of goods. The
attendance Wednesday was again
very gratifying to the management.
The Floral Parade.
The great floral parade yesterday
morning was the feature of the fair,
It was a mile long and the scores Of
vehicles were decorated in paper
flowers of every conceivable color.
Consummate taste was displayed
and rivally for the prizes was very
spirited.
The military escort, a detach-
ment from Company D. on horse
back, announced the coming of the
Queen of the Carnival, in the Royal
Float, surrounded by dozen
maids of honor,
Miss Bessie Russell, the Queen,
was seated upon a throne on the
rear end of the float and the maids
were attired in white dresses and
the aggregation of loveliness called
forth cheers of admiration along the
line of spectators.
Among the many beautiful vehi-
cles following the Royal float, the
are deserving of special
mention:
Miss Kate Bachman S, red and |
green.
Miss Mary Jones, pure white.
]. M. Renshaw's golden rod.
Miss Mary Wares, pink,
Sam Frankel's, pink.
]. e. Cooper's, blue.
NJ. H. Tandy's purple.
F. Zmmer's, purple and white.
J.T. Edmund S, red and yellow.
There were a large number of
Advertising floats and vehicles, sew
eral carriages and nearly fifty BIZ
cycles in the parade,
The awarding committee decided
hat the Sam Frankel's vehicle was
entitled to first prize, M. H. Tandy's
second and Miss Kate Bachman S
bird.
The crowd in the city was esti-
mated at not less than 10000. The
:rowd at the Park was large
.nough to fill the inclosure until
wen standing room was at a
premium.
The shows inside all did a rush
ng business.
The day was in many repects the
most successful of the week.
At night the great fireworks dis
,lay came off, but we went to press
Il advance of this event.
To-day and tomorrow are ex-
'ected to be the greatest days and
ven larger crowds are looked for.
People are in the city from all

ChI.EO CARVING,
Brief Description of the Tool. and the
Method Employed.

'h'Nhou
All the tools used by the cameo cary
er would make but handful. The
worker sits before a wheel turned by
a pedal surface on which the workers
hands rest while he holds the shaped
stone or shell beneath the needle-like
drill. The little pointed instruments
which are used to drill resemble those
employed by a dentist. and. indeed. it
was from the cameo caryer's kit that
the dentists got many OF their ideas
when the tools now in use by them
came to be manufactured, thirty years
ago. The drills vary in thickness ac-
cording to the portion of the figure or
design to be executed; soma are as fine
as the point of a cambric needle A
small china receptacle also stands near,
filed with oil and diamond dust, and
into this the workman frequently dips
his tool during the progress of his
work The cameo cutters occupation
is very exacting. He can put in only
a few hours work at time, as usual
thing, because of the tension on his
nerves. A quayering hand may be re-
sponsible for the single stroke which
will spoil a weeks work. He must
have an eye almost like a miscroscOpe,
and very delicate touch; he must be
an artist in soul and as skilled
craftsman as is matchmaker; he
must know how to model and draw,
and he must have knowledge OF

on many kinds OF hard or precious
stones, but essentially the chalcedOnic
variety Of quartz, and on shells. The
cameo cutter himself prefers onyx be-
cause of its dark and light layers.
head, say, against black background.
He evolves his picture by removing all
that portion of the white stratum re-
naming after the head has been com
pleted. Sapphire blocks are used car
nalian, turquoise, amethyst and nu-
merous other stones. Ii takes about
one month to execute a portrait on
onyx, while much less time is consum
ed If the work is done on shell. There
is always great danger OF the latter
breaking. and its durability, too, is not
great, so that shell, as a rule, is not
as desirable as the harder materials
A portrait on onyx will cost 5000, while
one in shell may be had for $50 The
inquiries for these are rare, and build
ing up patronage is slow, and is ac-
accomplished mainly by satisfied Gus
toners influencing others.--New York

Princes of Wales.

There have been sixteen predecessors
of the present Prince OF Wales, and OF
these only ten ascended the throne The
present prince is only one of six whe
passed the age of fifty. He has helt
the title the longest Of any, having beer
25 when he was gazetted to It. Each
Prince of Wales is created" The IL.
tie was originally granted by Edward
l. to his eldest son "and his heirs, the
king OF England" so each Prince OF
Wales retains the title after mounting
the throne until he divests himself OF
1t by formally passing it along to his
heir-apparent. Never has the title
been bestowed upon any one except the
eldest living son of the sovereign ex-
cept in the case of George H., who re.

Ing Depleted In Number.
The birthplace of the Shaker relfg
ion in New England is Harvard a pic
turesque little Massachusetts towr
about forty miles west of Boston. Il
was here that Mother Ann Lee, al
English woman, came in the summer
OF 1881 with little band of devoted
followers to expound the doctrines o
her faith. Today there are two settle
ments of Shakers in the neighborinr
towns OF Harvard and Shirley. Dur.
ing the last fifty years interest in tn,
Shakers has gradually died out, anc
the membership all over New England
has grown smaller and smaller. Al
there are never any births in a Shaker
family, the only hope of growth lies il
taking in new membership from the
outside OF course, the logical result
of such theory is that deaths will de
plete the ranks, and so today the com
munities at Harvard and Shirley ar,
not as large and prosperous as the!
were once. A large proportion OF th
two families are old men and women
and there are few young members
to take their places in the years te
come.
