More than two thousand people came
last night, and enjoyed the American
suppers and the Mexican 'suppers and
were attracted by the varied offerings
at the many booths.
At ten O'Clock the adjoining hall, of
equal size with the one in which the
fair is held, was thrown open, and
see the cake walk. The colored con-
testants were in their glory. and stam-

cake was won by Edward Young.
After the cake walk there was
dancing, aud tonight there will be
dancing again in the east hall. The
floor will be properly waxed and in fine
shape.
In the contest for the cane to be
given the most popular gentleman,
Mayor Magoffip, E. Besselman, and N.

latter gentleman ahead when the polls
closed last night.

so far into the northwest that no con-
federate officer would ever find them.
The boys of the union regiments reas-
oned that every paroled prisoner who
escaped was so much gain to the union
cause, and it was soon understood in
the parole camp that if the Johnnies
wanted to emigrate the Yanks could
give them information as to boats and
provisions.
"a squad of confederates would es-
cape from the parole camp, would
prowl around the country between the
campand Vicksburg, would come across
a squad of our boys in charge of boat,
and they would be taken across the
river. Neither Gen. Grant nor any of
his subordinate officers knew anything
of this, and they were at a loss to ex-
plain how it was that Pemberton's COM
mand dwindled down finally to about
1000 men. Some people in the north,
among them Gen. Halleck, believed that
the men had escaped by Pemberton's
connivance'and had returned to the
confederate service, in violation of
their parole. But the truth is that most
of them went into the northwest ter
ritories, and that they were given
good send-off by the union troops. Years
afterward L met scores of these men
in Montana, Idaho and Utah, some of
them employed in the mines, others
successful in general business, and not
few of them in service as cowboys and
muledrivers ON the plains.
"As evidence that the officers of the
union army knew little of the facts
as to the disappearance of men from
Pemberton's camp no definite mention
is made of the camp in any of the Off
cial reports. Gen. Grant speaks of 700
of Pemberton's men who refused to
be paroled and were sent north as
prisoners, and of the deserters from
Pemberton's force, but no one seems
to have had information as to the part
played by the union troops as emil
grant agents for the northwest terri
tories. There was the best of feeling
between the men who surrendered at
Vicksburg, and the men who captured
t!sm, and there were many long talks
as to the future. Some of our boys

WASHING THE FACE.
Nothing Else Is Quite as Helpful for
Clearing the Skin from All
Impurities.

The story is told of young wom-
an who was afflicted with blackheads
visiting a physician in search of a
remedy for the Disagreement. and
being politely and candidly told to
wash her face thoroughly in plenty of
hot water and soap and keep it clean.
Not every physician is frank enough
to tell his patient the true cause of
"blackheads' or the failure of the fine
sebaceous glands of the face to do
their work and cast out impurities
from the skin. When for any reason
whatsoever these oil glands are
clogged, what is popularity known as
"blackheads" appear. This is simply
collection of impurities in the
mouth of the gland, which it has not
force enough to throw off. These
"blackheads" appear often on the nose
and in the space between the eyes
because the sebaceous glands are
very abundant in these places. The
only remedy for "blackheads" is to
stimulate the glands to do their work
by washing the face with plenty of
hot water, using just as hot water
as one can bear. Use pure white
CASTLE soap to assist in the stim-
ulating and cleansing process. Large
'blackheads' must often be pressed
out, and if there is any irritation a
little cold cream should be used. This
cold cream is made of almond oil, and
not lard or mutton tallow, as most
of the cold cream of commerce are
made. Coarse animal fats, like lard
or mutton tallow, clog up the glands
themselves and PROD uce "black-
heads" Steaming the face by laying
cloths wrung out in water as hot as
you can bear it helps to clear the
skin from impurities.
A person afflicted with "blackheads"
and pimples, which are the legitimate
result of ''blackheads," has scientifi-
cally a dirty face" no matter how
many times it has been washed in a
conventional manner. Sponges and
all wash cloths should be scalded fire.

He Was n Good Soldier.

The present governor of Wisconsin,
says writer in Success. Maj. Edward
Scofield, was n printer in Pennsyl-
vania. When the war came he pock-
eted his rule" laid aside his 'stick,"
said good-by to the ''case" and enlisted
as private. He was so good a SOL
dier that he won and received early
promotion. In one of the Wilderness
battles, in 1864, he was commanding
his regiment, and was dangerously
wounded and taken prisoner. When
he was exchanged and returned to his
command he was mustered as major
and little later was commissioned as
lieutenant colonel. After the war he
went to Wisconsin and engaged in
numbering. He was twice elected to
the state senate, and in 1896 succeeded
Upham as governor, being reelected
ia 1858.

THE SUBSTITUTE.
One who Forgot Himself when 1t
Come to n BIT of yot
Fighting.

"When substitutes arrived at the
'front.'" said the colonel, in the Chicago
Inter Ocean, "they were numerically
hazed and badgered by the veterans,
who had entered the service without
any inducement in the way of boun-
ties, and who scorned the idea of a
man fighting for money. 1t was as
sumed that all substitutes were of one
pattern, were men who had declined
to enlist as q matter of patriotism,
and who entered the service only
when large bounties were offered.
Many of the veterans believed that
the word substitute was synonymous
with the bounty-jumper and coward,
and acted accordingly. But in truth
many old soldiers, who had seen years
of service, and many high-spirited
young fellows who could not leave
aged parents without support, became
substitutes, and were none the worse
for the bounty paid.
"Our regiment, after service of
80 months, was mustered out at New
port barracks in the summer of 1864.
The men declined to reenlist as an
organization because they were tired
of fighting, and wanted a rest, and
they scattered to their homes in diff
ferent states. Before snow fell more
than half of them were again in the
service, many of them returning to
old regiments as recruits or substi-
tutes. In all such cases the recruit,
so strong was the feeling against sub
stitutes, concealed his reenlistment
from his old comrades, and in not few
cases the veteran played the part of
a raw recruit so as to dissociate the
new service from the old.
"One of our old company returned
home to find his family in distress
and the farm mortgaged. After trying
to stem the tide of misfortune, and
after trying vainly to borrow money,
he sold himself, as he put it, for $4,000,
and went to one of the new regi-
ments at the front as a substitute.
He pretended to know nothing of
drill or soldier duty, and played the
part of stupid but well-meaning
clodhopper. He bore all the jokes
and prosecutions with cheerful pa
thence and made friends with other
substitutes. He never forgot him
self except when it came to battle,
and then the change was not noticed
at first. But one day, when the reg
iment was hard pressed, the soldier
spirits asserted itself and carried the
old veteran beyond the self-imposed
limitations of substitute.
"When the break came he turned as
he would have turned in his old reg
iment and ran to the colors. There
he met the sergeant, who had drilled
him, and the captain who had treat
ed him contemptuously, and others
who had laughed at his stupidity.
Before this the men of his company
had not believed that he could fire
gun effectively. Now they saw that
he was familiar with all the tactical
work of n resourceful man making
desperate resistance. They saw that
he knew what to do and how to do
it, and at the end of an hour, in which
the fragments of the regiment had
the hardest fight in their experience
as soldiers, the so-called substitute

ART OF BEDMAKING.
Although 1t Is Easily Mastered, Many
HOusekeepers Do Not Under
stand It's Rudiments.

Before making up the beds see to it
that the rooms have been aired. On q
clear, sunshiny day open the windows
before breakfast and strip the bed,
hanging the clothing over chairs near
the windows.
Allow the rooms to air for a couple
of hours and shake the bed clothing
free of dust. If the day is rainy do not
open the beds while the room is airing.
They will gather moisture if you do.
On damp day hang the bedding to air
in the rooms with the windows closed,
make up the beds and AR the rooms
again after the beds have been made
up.
The most important part of bedmak-
ing is to get the sheets properly adj
justed. Wrinkles in sheet are an
abomination. The bottom sheet should
be tucked in securely at the top so that
it cannot be jerked down by the rest
lessness of the sleeper.
The top sheet should be tucked in
tightly at the bottom so that it cannot
easily be drawn out of place.
i. should be laid with the wide hem
at the top and the rough side of the
hem turned uppermost, so that when it
is folded back over the coverlet the
right side will be exposed.--N. Y.

stod smiling at their hysterical re-
joicing over the fact that they had
done their duty. The captain next
day made the veteran tell his story,
and while the old vet carried the
nickname of Sub to the end oS his
second term of service, no man in the
ranks of the regiment had more con-
siderate treatment from officers and
men than he.

AN ARMY MYSTERY.
How Men Used to Disappear from the
Confederate Army and where
They Went.

Speaking of army mysteries" said
the captain, in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
II know of one that still remains q
mystery so far as the public are con-
cerned. After Pemberton's surrender
at Vicksburg his army, $1,000 strong,
was sent into a parole camp near Black
river, ten miles from the city. Penn
berton was in command, and his idea
was to hold the paroled men together
in camp, drill them, keep up their dis
cipline, so that when they were ex-
changed they would be ready for i'm
mediate service in the confederate
army. But in a few days hundreds of
men disappeared from the camp. In
two weeks the deserters were num-
bered by the thousands, and Pember-
ton appealed to Grant for guards, COM
planning that the union soldiers were
his men from camp and as
sisting them to get away.
"The truth was that the union men
on guard at Vicksburg heard, through
the people of the city, that fully one
half of Pemberton's men were very
much dissatisfied, and that in their talk
with their friends in Vicksburg they
had said that if they could get across
the Mississippi river they would go

finds it quite problem to dispose of
the latter where they will be kept free

ard. A clever art student who had but

BUYING TABLE LINEN.
1t II More Economical to Select n Few
Good Pieces Than to Get Lot
of Cheap stun.

Table linen is an index of the taste
and neatness of the housekeeper. 1t
is economy to purchase only fine
quality and to change often, in order
to prevent the wearing out by hard
rubbing in the laundry.
For everyday use that sold by the
yard will suffice. 1t is much cheaper,
though it lacks the elegance of bor-
dered cloth. A small patterned linen,
showing the familiar snowdrop, ivy
and clover, wears better than that
having larger designs. For small
family four cloths for daily use, with
as many of better quality, are
enough. Napkins usually match. Din
ner napkins are three-quarters of a
yard square, and dozen go with each
cloth. Both the tablecloths and nap
kins should be cut by drawn thread
and a narrow hand hem finished with
the utmost neatness. Four dozen nap
kins, for a small family, helped out
by small tea napkins, ought to suffice.
If linen of every kind is washed be-
fore cutting and hemming, taking out
the starch will greatly facilitate the
work. 1t is to be remembered that
linen not bleached to snowy white
ness will last much longer than the
other.
Some housekeepers fancy, for
change, either the plain or the twilled
linen cloths. These are finished on
each of the four edges with wide hens
and hemstitching above, and are made
to fit the dimensions of the table.
Handsome they truly are. But, as
figured linens do not, they show every
stain and muss. They are usually fin
ished with monogram from six to
nine inches high, wrought diagonally
across one corner in such manner as
to show on the table top. The hens
are from two to four inches in depth,
and are sometimes finished with a
fall of renaissance lace, the depth of
which depends upon the housekeep-
er's purse. However the cloth is fin
ished, the napkins should correspond.
Table cloths of all kinds are procura-
BILE of any length, even up to five
yards.-Good Housekeeping.
