THROWING CONFETTI
IS A POPULAR PASTIME.
The vendors Found n Ready Sale for
IL and 1t Was In General Use on
the streets Last NiEht

/
IL and 1t Was In General Use ON
the streets Last sight.
Confetti held sway on the streets last
evening. 1t is composed OF tiny discs
of various bright colored paper, and
every one seemed to be supplied with
a limitless quantity of 1t. Soon after
darkness fell, when the joyous CROWDS
were t%hronging the sidewalks and
streets, the fun began.
The first victim was a chap who with
parted lips was viewing the arch at
Twelfth and Market streets. Suddenly
he found himself nearly smothered with
a mass of the feathery discs that came
| flying into his mouth, his eyes and
| down his neck. He did not understand
and thought it an insult. While 1t was
being explained amid roars Of laughter
a bevy of fair women were attracted
to the scene. In an instant they were
showered with confetti. Their fluffy
hair made such a nice resting place for
it. They rushed off to buy a fakir's
| stock and get a merry revenge on 9TH
| ers.
The fun grew and soon every n on
the street had an attack OF confetti.
There were myriads of amusing incl
dents, and in a few, a very few in
stances, the victim failed to appreciate
the joke. One poor fellow began to tell
what he would do to his tormentors
when swoop! swoopi from every side
amid merry shouts of This is Carnival
day" and Fun is Rex" came a deluge
of confetti from every side. The victim
saw the point, bought a fakir's stock
and started out to get even"
And the ladies-no city in the land
can boast of fairer or wittier ones than
Wheeling-God bless them! How they
entered into the spirit of the carnival
of innocent fun. The fairer the maid
the more frequently was she made the
target for the confetti throWers The
air was filled with the music of their
laughter and the melody of their mer-
riment.
Here and there were those whose
base nature showed itself. but they
quickly say that Wheeling's streets
were safeguards for Wheeling's daugh-
ters, and that it would not be safe to
overstep the bounds of propriety.
Some of this lower sort were noted
gathering up handfuls of the confetti
from the sidewalks to throw upon pass
ers by. But they were quickly given
to understand that the democracy of the
Carnival must be a democracy of de-
cency and cleanliness.
The fun continued until II o'clock,
but at that hour the crowds rapidly
melted away and the streets were COM
p~aratively quiet at midnight. All in
all, it was a joyous night. The best of
the Carnival week to date. Long live
Rex and the Carnival.

many to North Main and South Chap
line streets.
