IT OPENS TONIGHT.
All Preparations Completed for the
Big Food show

Boothbuilders, decorators, carpen-
tiers, painters, upholsters, demonstra-
tors-a little army in all--made things
decidedly lively in the HaWley building
last night. AS If by magic little vii
lage has sprung into existence and the
bare floors and barren walls Of day CT
two ago have been so metamorphosed
as to be literally unrecognizable. Beau
tiful booths of every color and design
are arranged in long rows along the
main aisle and occupy hooks and cor
ners. Cereals, baking powders, coffee,
chocolate, gelatfnes, hot ginger bread,
soups, baked beans, pickles, preserves,
sauces, catsups. relishes, ice cream,
fiavoring extracts and a variety OF
other foods, drinks and condiments
will be served by attractively costumed
attendants. The scope OF the EXPOSE
ton will be broadened and variety
added by exhibits OF articles of utility
and convenience in the home-water
filters, coffee mills, meat choppers, etc,
and a number OF novelties and spec
ial features of entertainment Several
of the exhibits are to be brilliantly
illuminated by electricity, and one or
two will be particularly gorgeous.
The opening arrangements were
practically completed last night and
to-day the finishing touches will be
added. Everyone is talking about the
food fair and successful run OF three
weeks is confidently anticipated.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING
or the Congregation of the U. =.
Church Held Last Evening.

Church Held Last Evening.
The annual meeting of the congre-
cation of the United Presbyterian
Church was held last evening at the
lecture room of the church. Hon. T.
M. Garvin was chosen chairman. and
Mr.. Herbert Nesbitt Secretary. The
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved. and the report of the
Treasurer received and filed. Other
business matters were also disposed
of.
A resolution commendatory of the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Littell. was offered,
and after some discussion was adopt
ed.
A resolution of condemnation of one
of the elders of the church was also
presented at the meeting. It's sub
stance was a charge that the elder
had attempted to influence members Of
the church against the pastor. The
introduction of this resolution precip-
itated the warmest kind of a discus
sion, and very bitter feeling was
engendered during its consideration.
No action was taken, but the whole
matter was finally referred to the
Church Presbytery, which meets in this
city next Wednesday. The above res
olution grows out of a difference of
opinion among the congregation as to
whether or not a vacancy now exists
in the pastorate of the church.
A resolution was also passed during
the meeting, instructing the Board of
Trustees to appoint a committee to Sc
cure plans and specifications for re-
modelling the interior and exterior of
the church building, and for the pur-
chase OF a pipe organ.
A new Board of Trustees was voted
for but the ballots were not counted.
The announcement of the names of
those elected will be made later.
The elders present last evening were
DR.. John l.. Dickey, W. ]. w. Cowden,
James McAdams. r. K. Gifin, A. NJ.
Stevenson, John NJ. Brown and John
]. Jones.

Charles Fishman and Mrs. Flora
Goldstein, both of Cleveland, O., were
arrested at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing on a warrant issued by Justice
Cunning on the charge of fornication
| and adultery, preferred by Ned Gold
stein, merchant tailor, of 2515 Broad
way, Cleveland, o. 1t was the same
old story. The couple had become
enamored of each other and had run
| away, arriving about week ago in
this city. Mrs. Goldstein brought her
| only child, a five-year-old boy, with
them. Fishman secured employment
| in a laundry and the three secured
lodging with an Island family, Fishman
giving out they were man and wife.
All went well until the outraged hus-
band appeared on the scene. Cold
stein arrived in this city Tuesday and
| ever since, with the aid of the police,
has been trying to locate the parties.
| This was accomplished late Tuesday
| night, and the warrants were issued.
When the papers were served the po-
| lice had quite little trouble in gain
ing entrance to the Fishman apart
ments, and finally had to threaten to
| break in the door. Both parties were
committed to the county Jail for
hearing at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
| At the hearing both plead guilty to
| the charge and were fined $40 and
costs. Fishman had enough money for
one fine, and after a consultation it
was decided best to pay his own fine
| in order to make the money for the
other fine. This plan was followed out
and Mrs. Goldstein is still in Jail.
| Goldstein persuaded the child to ac-
company him and will return home to
Cleveland yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Goldstein is a striking brunette, but
| Fishman is not even of average ap-
pearance. He is tailor by trade.

JACKSON'S CHARGE
TO THE GRAND JURY.
The Judge Declared That Crime Is
on the Increase To-Day,
And Due Either to Growing PopuIa-
ton or Decreasing MOrality-Ref-
erence to Strike Cases-The Jury
VIII Not Conclude Until To-Day.

The criminal grand jury in the Fed
eral Court convened yesterday morn
ing about eleven o'clock, and Judge J.
J. Jackson delivered a charge in which
he stated and deplored the fact that
crime in this country appears to r be
on the increase. He did not know
whether it was caused by the rapidly
growing population, or by decrease
in public morality. He said it was
necessary at nearly every session of
the Court to convene a grand jury
to investigate violations of the United
States statutes. He referred to the
disturbances growing out of the street
railway strike, and intimated that the
grand jury would consider evidence
against the Benwood authorities who
arrested deputy marshal. Judge
Jackson also referred to the criticisms
which had been made because the in
functions were issued by him, and he
went into an explanation of the in
junction. He pointed out that it was
simply a command to stand still, as
it were, pending hearing by the
Court. He declared that so long as he
was Judge of the Court, such viola
lions would not be dealt with lightly.
Before the Judge delivered his
charge, District Attorney Burdette di-
rected his attention to the fact that
number of cases demanded the at
tention of the jury, principally viola
tions of the postal and currency laws.
The jury was in session during the re-
mainder of the day, but will not con-
clude its investigations until some time
to-day. Following are the names of
the jurors:
Ex-Judge L. S. Jordan. foreman;
Bernie Mcclure, Hugo Loos, Thomas
Little. James v Dickey, Samuel Har-
per, George E. Stifel, Charles G. How
ell, L. Davis, S. S. White, George T.
Maple, j. T. Koen, w. A. Watts, w. j.
Bates, Jr., Joseph Lawson. Walter
Rinehart, Michael Deegan and William

LIFE COMPANION.


With thousands of people in
this climate catarrh is a constant
and life long companion: it gets
better at times, but each year be-
comes gradually deeper seated
and after a time the individual re-
signs himself to it as a necessary
evil.
Catarrh cures are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers,
but are nearly all so inconvenient
and Ineffective as to render their
use nuisance nearly as annoying
as catarrh itself.
1t would seem at first glance
that catarrh being disease of the
mucous membrane that salves,
sprays, etc, being applied directly
to the membranes would be the
most rational method, but this has
proven not to be true
The mucous membrane is made
and repaired from the blood and
catarrh is a blood disorder. and
remedy to be permanent must act
on the blood and when purified
from Catarrhal poison the secre-
lions from the mucous membrane
Will become more natural and
healthy.
There is a number of excellent
Internal remedies for catarrh, but
probably the best and certainly the
safest Is new remedy composed
OF Eucalyptol, Hydrastis, Sangui-
maria and other catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form,
pleasant to the taste and sold by
druggists under name of Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets and anyone suffer-
Ing from catarrh may use these
tablets with absolute assurance
that they contain no cocaine nor
poisonous minerals whatever.
A leading druggist in Cleveland,
speaking of catarrh cures. SAYS:
1 have sold various catarrn cures
for years, but have never sold
any which gave such general salts
faction as Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. They contain in a pleasant,
concentrated form all the best
and latest catarrh remedies and
catarrh sufferers, who have used
douches, sprays and salves. have
been astonished at the quick re-
lief and permanent results obtain
ed after weeks use of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets

Three Little Lambs.

Three Little Lambs.
Mr. R. A. Barnets musical comedy,
Three Little Lambs" which has just
concluded a remarkably successful en-
gagement at the Fifth Avenue Theatre,
New York, and is to be presented for
Opera House, is universally considered
worthy successor to the same au-
thor's 1892" and Jack and the Bean
stalk" 1t was to have been produced
originally by the late Augustin DAILY,
but that managers death of course up
set all the plans he had made, and his
musical comedy was disbanded. Mr..
Edwin Knowles, manager of the Fifth
Avenue Theatre in New York, realizing
the opportunity, Immediately arranged
with Mr.. Barnet for the piece with the
idea of making it the first production
of the permanent musical company he
was organizing to play refined comedy
each season at his theatre, and visit
some of the greater cities of the coun-
try. Three Little Lambs" thus be-
came the initial offering of the Fifth
Avenue Theatre musical company, an
organization comprising more than
fifty-flve people, and including num-
erous singers and comedians of the first
class, who have achieved fame in light
opera as well as in musical comedy.

States, or under the false cry of dis
elimination against Puerto Rico, when
at present the immense accumulated
stores of sugar, tobacco and other
commodities held by certain trusts
and stored by them to enter the ports
of the United States free of duty and
enrich themselves at the expense of
both the United States and Peurto Rico;
and as Americans we heartily COM
mend and endorse the course of our
Congressman, j. ]. Gill, on the Puerto
Rican tariff bill, and further commend
him for his kindly treatment to the
old soldiers of his district who ask for
their just dues, and endorse his pains
taking efforts.
Resolved, That while we lament the
loss and bow in submission to the will
of Providence in removing John A.
Bingham, ex-Congressman, we cher
ish the example of his pure life and
his great and unselfish craftsmanship,
and his long advocacy of the cause of
the downtrodden of all nations. and
we unite in extending our sympathy
to his family in their sad bereave-
memt
Before the resolutions were adopted,
j. c. Heinlein offered an amendment
that hereafter delegates be elected by
the people and not appointed by COM
mites, and made a speech strongly
favoring it. The resolutions and
amendments were adopted.
The roll of the counties was called
for nominations for Congress, and
when Harrison was reached w. G..
Shotnell named j. j. Gill, and he was
nominated by reclamation, and a COM
mittee was appointed to notify him
at his hotel and escort him to the
hall.
Next, for National delegates, G..
Bradfield and R. T. Blytha were NOM
mated by reclamation. For alter
mates, Robert MCGOWAN and I. K. Nc
Laughlin were chosen. f. B. Roush
was nominated for Presidential cleo
ton, and all was over, but just then
Mr.. Gill came and was introduced,
and was we'll cheered by the delegates
and small crowd.
Mr.. Gill gave them talk and made
many statements, saying he had only
been in Congress a short time and
when he got there he asked lots of
questions, and one old member told
him it would take year to get the
hang of the barn, and that he found
that there was much truth about it.
He tried to square the Republican s
action on the Porto Rican tariff bill,
and said people did not understand
it, and almost got mixed up when he
was explaining how Mckinley did the
| great flop act on this tariff bill. He
touched trusts lightly. and made his
| best talk on protection, which is his
| strong plea. He said the war in the
Philippines was just and if the Dem
ocrats were in power they could not
manage the country. as they had not
| passed one good law in the last fifty
years. McKinley's name brought
! forth some applause, but his audience
was very cold. This speech was a re-
hash of the long apologizing platform,
which is odd on account of it's evasion
of so many leading questions before
the people. At the close the conven-
ton adjourned. 1t was very conspic-
uous in it's absence of enthusiasm.
