Fans are essentially, Chinese articles.
Their use among the Celestials amounts
to a social custom and is common to both
men and women. Among Western peo-
pies the use of the fan is confined prin-
cipally to women, and II is considered
effeminate, or at all events eccentric, for
man TO use one The Chinese mandarin
uses his fan as an appendage to his dig
nifty as well as minister TO his comfort,
and the article, moreover, symbolizes his
rank. The small palm-leaf fan, which has
been exported to this country in such
great nusbers, is used only by the lower
classes in China, and many and various
are the uses to which it is put.
AmoDg other kinds may be mentioned.

landscape in black and white, or a few
lines from his pen in either prose or
poetry. Following is an inscription on
such fan which was presented to Eu-
ropean, and it is a good illustration of a
Chinese complimentary letter:

isfactory way. as it was anticipated.
A large crowd patronized the affair,
especially on the second evening.
The ladies under the leadership of

body. The bass solo 'sThe Begger

and the couplet sTailor and Miller,
performed by Messrs j. Stenger and
r. Pabst received much applause.
The same was the case with the mus

A Great Show.

Barlow and Wilson's Minstrels
made their annual appearance last
evening at Powers Opera House to
an excellent house It is fact
worthy of notice, that at each sue
cessive trip of this famous organiza
tion vacant down stairs seats have
been few and far between. 1t fol-
lows that an attraction able to fill
that portion of the theatre is one OF
intrinsic merit. The musical por
ton was particularly strong The
ballads of James Barardi, James
Leodard and Joseph MeGrath were
pretty renditions. The monologue
work of Barlow and Wilson was very
funny, while the popular Conrov
and hurry met with an ovation that
must have been exceedingly pleas
ant to those favorite commedians.
Taken altogether the Barlow and
Wilson show far surpasses the usual
minstrel attraction Grand Rapids

the demands OF the growing freight
and passenger business OF the town,
and gives its people highly satisfac-
tory service. A. ID. Griffith is the

HAVlNG TROUBLES.
Morgantown Glass Works Being Both.
cred by Outside People who Have an
Object.

Ed. Heermans while here sent out
some stuff about the strike at the
Morgantown. Among other things
he had the following:
The Morgantown glass works is In
dependent of the National Glass Com
pany and is the only factory OF the
kind not in the combine They have
repeatedly declined overtures OF the
National Glass Company to sell out.
The officers of the company here say
that the combine has formed a plan
TO force them to sell or go out OF bus
mess, and Intimate that the strike
was, perhaps, instigated by outside
influences.
Officials of the Morgantown glass
works aver that the glass association
offers rebate on prices 20 customers
who will not buy ware from the indie
pendent companies and that their
customers are compelled to buy sur
reptitiously from the independent
companies. For instance, in shipping
glass ware from the Morgantown glass
works TO large Pttsburg firms they
consign the goods 20 drayage com
pany. there and in turn they are de-
livered TO the proper customers.
Supt Bannister says that recently he
has found strangers sneaking about
their shipping department and ware
houses copying the names OF custo-
mers from consignments Of glassware.

the $4,000 prize offered by the ma
tional body for a years increase Of
1000 members. The prize was won
before in 1899 Speaking OF the
order condition in this State to-day
Grand Recorder Frank Cruise said
it was exceptionally prosperous,
having a membership of 1000 as
against 2,026 IN 1895, when the
graded assessment plan was adopted.
New lodges are to be installeded at
Chester and Enterprise and deputies
are in the field on an organization
campaign. There have been only
nine assessments year, the reduced
average age having been effective in
cutting down the death rate. Pros
perity must be a good thing in many
ways, for while the membership il

elegant British officer seated in
nonchalant attitude, cigarette held
delicately on the tip of his aristo-

of the artist an evident intention OF
contrasting the dandyism of the

prisoner whose broad chest and

seam and button OF his borrowed ac-
coutrement and whose heavy spurs

veteran passes the following remark
upon the illfitting uniform. 'sThoa

The sarcasm is cutting and it is a
wonder that the British censorship
even in New York should have al
lowed such thing to go into print.
But we must remember that John
