STRIKING WINDOW DISPLAY.
store Attracted Crowds By lis "Elurry''
in the Money Market

I have seen a good many Of what
We call money displays, said pro
fessional window dresser. talking to
q New Orleans Timss-DemOcrat man
about queer phases Of his business,
'but the majority Of them were not
especially successful a mere win
dow full Of money VIII draw a crowd,
but unless It has some special feature
ii won't make people talk, and is hard
ly worth the risk and trouble involved
in getting it up. The most striking
and effective money decoration in my
own experience was one l arranged
several years ago for a large northern
dry goods house. A good-sized, square
window was placed at my disposal,
and as a beginning ! draped the in
terror with cotton cloth, over which
/ had lightly glued one-dollar bills
in such a way as to cover the entire
surface. BY the time | concluded that
part Of the work every inch Of the in
terror surface was hidden by money,
and the use Of the cloth enabled me
to produce certain effect of bulk and
mass which / could never have accom-
plished if had simply attached the
bare bills to the well. The next thing
/ did was to install four powerful cleo
trie fans, which l located just out of
sight behind the window casing. Two
were at the bottom and two were at
the top, and they were so adjusted as
to create a series of violent cross-cur-
rents Of air when they got going to-
gether. All that hen remained was
TO dump in half tnshel OF so Of bank
notes, shut and lock the rear door and
turn on the current. The moment
the fans began TO whirl the window
became the scene OF a miniature fnan-
cial snOwstOrm and the air was literal
~ thick with money. 1t swirled to-
and fro like autumnal leaves in a gale;
it rose and fell in fantastic eddies; it
battered like rain against the big
plate glass in from and the effect was
indescribably cuTic us and fascinating.
You see, there was nothing whatever
to the scheme except a plain, bare
window, lined with money and full
Of more money, playing around like
mad, and the simplicity Of the idea
was the very thirg that made it so
strange and striking. We called the
display "A FURRY in the Money Mar
ket,' and it drew big crowds for two
weeks. ! suppOss YOU would natural
ly infer that such spectacle would
be very dangerous and apt to tempt
crooks to raid the windev, but 40 q
matter Of fact such was not the case.
I used altogether 81 800 in one-dollaI
bills, and three-fourths of the en-
tire number were attached to the cloth
employed in the drapsries. A thief
making a grab would have obtained
very little for his pains and risk, The
store employed only one extra officer
as guard, and l doubt very much
whether there was any real need fol

PAN.AMERIcAN EXPOSITION.
Poultry Show in October OF the
Big Buffalo Show.

American to be held at Buffalo
in May, where all the great in
dustries Of the United States
will be represented by exhibits
which will be of the best quality
and character that can be pro-
duced, the wisdom of the man
agement is shown in the magni-
ficent preparations thatare being
made for the Division of Live
Stock.
In no line of breeding domes-
tic animals have greater strides
been made than in the Poultry
Industry, and while the interest
taken in the Live Stock Division
of the Exposition by prospective
exhibitors is very encouraging,
the poultrymen of the United
States and Canada are manifest
ing an interest that is truly phe-
nomenal. The poultrymen in
the past few years have seen the
industry double many times, un-
ill to-day it exceeds in value any
single farm crop. The annual
sale of eggs, poultry and fancy
birds for breeding purposes IN
the United States and Canada ex-
coed one billion dollars. The
proposed show at the Pan-Ameri-
can will be fully adequate to the
great interest involved. The
time of this show will be most
propitious to the fanciers-Octo-
Der 2lst to 3lst-and the accom-
modations will be all that are
desired. The stables covering
ten acres will all be devoted to
the poultry and pet stock show.
Classes have been arranged
FOR every variety standard and
BOn-standard) and full premiums
of from S. down will be given in
every class where there are four
individuals to compete for each
pfsmi1m. Complete classified
tionthas been provided for all
kinds of ornamental fowls, tur-
keys, ducks and geese.
The pigeon show will be one
abat will delight the heart of
every pigeon fancier. A classi-
Gication covering all varieties of
pigeons has been arranged. A
distinct feature of the pigeon
display will be the liberation OF
$4,000 "Homers" from the Expo
sition grounds, carrying greet
ings 10 thousands of prominent
officials and citizensof the United .
States and Canada, besides vie
ing with each other in the great
est contest of the age.
The pet stock show, complete
az to it's classification, will be
well calculated to interest the
many people whose fancy turns
TO cats, CAVES, squirrels, prairie
dogs, ferrets, rabbits, etc The
Belgian Hare exhibit will be
great credit to this industry
which has but recently claimed
ahe attention of business men.
An enthusiastic meeting of
Eastern breeders was recently
held in Buffalo, and a classical
dion embracing eight types was
arranged, which gives the fullest
recognition these animals have
yet received
The poultry show will be I'M

Child Badly Injured.

FAIRMoNT, w. VA, Aug. 2l.-Har-
old Sharp met with a horrible acct
dent while the family was visiting
yesterday morning. The sister Of
Mrs. Sharp was just recovering from
severe attack of fever, aud to guard
against the other members Of the
household contracting the same dis
ease a small vial OF carbolic acid was
placed in the room as disinfectant.
The child was permitted to crawl
across the room unnotieed, and dis
covering the vial containing the car
bolic acid managed to uneork the
bottle and spill the contents on its
person. As result the stomach and
bowels were badly burned and the
child is in very critical condition.

UNF0uNDED FEARS.
NJ. Il. Church will not be Built on an
Alley.

Ii Is generally known that the
splendid church and parsonage lot
presented 10 the trustees or the Meth
odist Episcopal church fronts on a
twelve foot alley. Some people have
expressed their surprise that mag.
niflcent church should be built, With
a parsonage on such an alley For
the information OF such people it
should be known that DR.. White never
dreamed Of seeing such church erect
ed on an alley. There is not mem
Der OF the trustees or stewards or
membership OF the NJ e. church who
would consent 30 their church being
SO located. Not spade will enter
the soil, or stone be hauled to the
lot until street is opened where the
alley is now located. So nobody need
be worried about the church fronting
on an alley. The splendid lot is
but forty steps from the junction of
High and Wiley streets.
Bat talking of alleys look at the
present property It has a long
church alley on the east side, long
alley on the west side, an alley on the
south side, and noisy, paved, inclin-
cd street In front. The services are
constantly disturbed by rattling wag-
ons and the swearing of drivers and
groups Of boys The new site Is In a
quiet and elegant vicinity surrounded
in every direction by attractive resi-
dences and massive university build
ings. The church had no money to
buy site and ten thousand up tn
fifteen thousand dollars was asked for
available sites further down town.
without room for parsonage. This
was the environment OF the M. Il.
congregation when DR.. White made
this gift by letter TO DR.. Leech
Both understood that the street must
be opened before work can begin on
the church lot. The entire congrega-
ton so understand IT, OF course this
will take some time. Until then the
congregation will occupy their pres
ent property.

OPTIONS
or John Sliney Taken in the $50 S
Cause Trouble In Preston County.

Several weeks ago there was big
coal deal in Preston county, in which
Is, 900 or more acres Of land was to
have been transferred, had been held
up because of the discovery in the
records of the County Clerks office at
Kingwood, of old options taken away
in the SOS, by John Sliney, now dead
1t was held that the existence of these
options, which had been paid partially,
prevented to execution OF options TO
another company. Attorneys inform
ed the property owners that To clear
the title they would have TO have the
Sliney options set aside. This explains
why, few days ago, flood of civil
actions appeared in the Kingwood
courts against Che heirs Of the late
John Sliney. or course the family
will not appear to defend the suits and
that will make the progress more
rapid. 1t is said that over one hun
dred farmers have brought proceedings
against the heirs and executors OF the
late Pennsylvania coal operators and
speculator to have the old options set
at naught. This done the land own
ers will be at liberty TO sell 10 new
company which is taking options in
the field.
