THE ELKs' STREET FAIR
The Streets of Cairo. With All Its
Trappings. Ready for the Great

The coming great Street Fair and
Carnival, to be given during the first
week in the month OF May, is still the
talk of the city and surrounding Sec
ton, and already many merchants and
manufacturers have signified their in
tentions of entering into the spirit of
the occasion with energy and enthusi-
aSm.
THE STREETS OF CAIRO.
The question is asked repeatedly
every day what would be the principal
attractions outside of the commercial
and Industrial exhibits. and for the ben
eft of 81 few of them will be noticed
here.
The streets of Cairo" will, In all
proba bility, be the largest individual
enclosure on the grounds, occupying as
much space as the average circus. The
Elks have for this the best known ce
lebrities that have entertained the pub
lie from the time of Chicago's Fair, the
Omaha Exposition. up to the present
day; Turks. Arabs, Bedouins. Egyp-
tians, Assyrians and many other ma
tionalities are there in numbers, and
all. from the Nizam of Hyderabad, with
his famous jewels. to the fasting
Fa kirs, are the best out. Exhibitions
OF Juggling, sword fighting, gun spin
ming. acrobatic feats. pastimes and
Oriental races. will be given. while ele-
plant and camel riding and camel races
will fill in the interim.
Then there Is what Is known as
GREATER AMERICA,
a gathering of the peoples of our many
chimes. from cold Alaska to our little
known Zululand. Warriors. serfs and
peasants. women and children, in their
native pastimes. dances. worship, house
hold customs. etc. together with many
relics OF war. No one can afford to
miss this entertainment.
Next in attraction may be the
ORIENTAL THEATRE.
or course the entertainment would be
incomplete without the Oriental thea
tire, with its whirling Dcrvishes. cloud
weavers and wonderful Oriental dances,
eXemplifying the poetry of motion as
measured by Oriental standards. These
dancers are led by AlOeta, the Sultan's
favorite. and are genuine representa-
tons of the customs of the Antipodes,
and not immoral carlcatures.
THE ENTERTAINERS
Within the enclosure, which is to be
known as the Great Midway" have
been gathered from all corners of the
earth, and compose all that could sat
isfy the curious and entertain the visit
or. Each Is represented by hand
some front, constructed in unique man
ner. beautifully painted and gilded To
give anything like n detailed account
of them all would fill much space, and
II Is safe to say that as yet the half

This gentleman, n well-known at

ION about new Constitution said
Il am thoroughly convinced that Vir-
ginia should have new Constitution.
We have borne the burdens imposed
upon us by the Underwood Bayne-

L see no reason why a new one, APP
propriate to the conditions which sur
rounded us, should not be adopted by
a convention and then submitted to

THE matter of a Constitutional Con-

Importance. and I have given 1t some
thought, and have arrived at the con-
clusion that it is absolutely necessary
to have new Constitution for our

One of the most useful members Of

baseball at Lexington Park Next
Sunday Afternoon.
Next Sunday at Lexington park the
Palace team, from Minneapolis, will try
conclusions on the diamond with the I'M
beaten Hamm team, and at that time the
fans who have watched the advent of the
amateur teams will be able to determine
as to whether the st. Paul teams will
continue to put it over their adversaries.
The Hamm nine has been materially
strengthened by the signing of Peter Fo-
ley, who for several years has been pitch
ing for the Waupon and Oshkosh teams,
and whose old-time comrades are mostly
playing professional baseball.
Foley is holding down position in st.
Paul and is said to be a good amateur
pitcher.
The fans have by their patronage and
approval decided that the Twin City ANA
teur league is a go, and, when it is con-
sidered that the four mines in the league
are men holding positions in business and
with little or no time for hard practice,
it is conceded that the article of ball thus
far given those who paid their admissions
to Lexington park is all that could be
asked for from amateurs. When the
teams settle down to their playing
strength and the weak points have been
looked after the series bids fair to be
interesting and closely contested.
