 THE ST. PAUL'S FAIR
Refreshment Booth Has Best of Pat. ronage-ro Serve Mer.
 chants Lunch.

The attendance at St. Paurs Hall, where the ladies of the st. Paurs Catho- lie church are giving a fair and bazaar, was the largest last night of any evening since the opening of the fair.
 The five booths were all generously pat ronized. The refreshment booth, under the direction of Mrs. Tom Hensford, Mrs. Cooper and many charming young wom- en, was the most literally patronized. Each attendant was kept busy and the receipts were run up to quite a la' ge amount.
 Other booths received much attention, and the contest between the little girls and the little boys excited no end of in- terest. The work of the children was so enthusiastic that they gained many votes during the evening.
 Beginning today the fair will serve lunches between the hours of 12 and Z o'clock. The food served will not be the usual charity lunch but will be a sub stantial business mans midday meal Those who will have charge of the service today will be Mrs. Rensford, Mrs. Coop CT. Mrs Haylow. and Mrs. Mccarthy They will be assisted by number of young women.
 Thursday evening will be Elks' night The members of each of the local or, ln- ization will attend and will do much to add to the success of the fair. Every thing will be decorated iii the colors of l the popular society, and they will be given full control of the fair.

The engagement of "A Runaway Girl' in Birmingham has been cancelled. The cause of the broken date is the death of the father of Arthur Dunn, the little comedian and leading actor. The an- nouneement of the death of the elder Dunn was received in Atlanta Monday night in a telegram from Ezra Kendall.
 The performance was stopped and the audience dismissed. Manager Lodge of the company announced that all dates for this week would be broken and the company taken direct to Savannah where 1t opens Monday next. Arthur Dunn left at 12 o'clock Monday night to be present at the funeral of his father.

says the roads in Europe as a rule are in excellent condition.
 This Is brought about to Q great ex- tent by wide wagon tires" he explained, "and right here I would like to say mar row tires are the most destructive ele- ment to public roads In this country. In Europe the roads are not so muddy as in America, and the drivers used from two and one-half to four-inch tires on their wagons. The front axle Is narrower than the rear one, and consequently the tracks do not come together. With four inch tires this really forms roller which packs the road instead of cutting 1t up."
 MT. Eldridge and President Moore are firm advocates of broad tires on all heavy vehicles. MT. Eldridge's lecture will be delivered Thursday night.

Avenged Themselves.

The fighting in the so called B]alangiga
masacree seems TO have been of the order
Rider Haggard loves to describe. The
first details of this bloody encounter are
brought by Lieutenant +. f. Allison of
navy, who arrived in Victoria, b. c.,
Tuesday. Although the unfortunate sol
diers were separated from their arms
when the murderOus onslaught began
they fought so desperately with such
weapons as they were able to get that
they saved the post COlOrs, beat back the
murderers and killed so many Of them
that when the punitive expedition arrived
they found 100 bodies of bolo men who had
paid the supreme penalty of their rash
ness. Nor does this include all the native
dead, for, doubtless, they buried many.
SO thai for every American t~reacherously
killed four of the sneaking bolo men gave
mp their lives. Not since the days when
General Forsyth fought Roman Nose on
the Republican river has there been such
a frightful slaughter of an attacking party
by so small a number of soldiers.
The martyrs of Balangiga seem to have
avenged themselves.

ing all under one management. III
such a combination can stand il viii
be to the great detrimcnt of all the
states traversed by the roads as it
practically neutralizes all former
competition in freight and passenger
rates. Minnesota's governor, Van
SAINT, has already began a battle
legal in the hopes of defeating the
scheme. He should have the sup
port of the people of the entire
northwest. 1t takes courage and
backbone for a governor, Or any
other official, to commence a fight
against a combination of capital that
employs SO many votes, as these
roads do, in his own territory on the
the V of an election and that too at a
time when there was already some
dissatisfaction and talk of not giving
the customary second term, but
Governor Van SAINT seems to be made
of the right kind of stuff and the
people of Minnesota are to be con-
graduated. This one move should
make his reelection unanimous.

to the address given. Treasury officials
say that the incident was not an uncom-
mon one. Although the civil war closed
t~hirty-six years ago, confederate notes and
bonds are received two and three times a
week. NeagIy all of them come from
England, where the bonds were sold. Few
people in the United States are inveigled
into purchasing or giving value for the
confederate obligations. Some of the
Englishmen who have been notified that
the bonds and notes are worthless have
grown indignant, and replied to the
department that they proposed TO take
action looking TO the creation of an inter
national incident unless the paper is
redeemed.

More Renters.

An increase in the number of tenant
farmers in the northwest is noted in the
report of the industrial commission. This
is in part a downward and in part an
upward novel for the tenants. Some farm.
ers become tenants by losing their farms
through foreclosure, and on the other hand
some farm laborers save zap a little money
for working capital and start in business
for themselves as renters. The chances
are that this class of tenants will sooner
or later become farm owners.

III. c. Shober, state insurance
commissioner, has revoked the char
ter OF the Germania Live Stock
Insurance company of Sioux Falls.
This action was taken after the COM
missioner had made apersonal inves-
tigation. 1t was discovered by the
commissioner in looking over the
books that the company had over
100000 in risks; that it has received
about $4,000 in premium notes;
that it had paid losses to the amount
of $500, and that about 5000 in
losses had been reported but were
still unpaid. He also found an item
of expense for the four months which
the company has been doing bust
ness of $4,000 and upwards. The
company secured a charter last June
to do a live stock insurance business
against losses by fire, tornado and
cyclones. Instead of combining itself
to this the company began insuring
live stock against loss from any
cause. The questionable business
being done by the company was dis
covered when several farmers living
in the vicinity of Hartford secured
the services ofa local attorney to
bring an action for the cancellation
of notes given by them on premiums.
