No Fair at Spartanburg.

There will be no street carnival in
Spartanburg this fall. At a meeting
composed of representative citizens
and a carnival agent last night the
matter was discussed at length and the
project was decided upon u~nfavorably.
While there had been considerable talk
concerning the question and some In
terest displayed, when the time came
for a concerted action no n was will
ing to take the initiative steps. Prob
ably the street fair To- on in Atlanta
and the airing given its uncleanly fea-
lures by the Georgia newspapers was
partially responsible for the turn the
matter took at the meeting.

North Bend. Neb., Wednesday night over
the Union Pacific after an absence from the
city OF about two weeks to find that her
parents had moved from the residence they
occupied when she started upon her trip,
and so far as she and those who have been
assisting her in her quest have been able
to determine. are not in Omaha.
The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Smith,
formerly lived at Pill Clark street. This
was their home and Hazel's when the child
left a fortnight ago for a visit with rela-
lives at North Bend. she says she knew
Of her folks intention to move and ex-
pected that she would be given the address
OF their new residence. but that she has
not. Shortly prior TO her departure from
North Bend she wrote her parents saying
she would be home at a certain time. but
having then heard OF their change In rest
dence she merely addressed the letter care

the missIve did not reach her father and
mother.
In tho Meantime Hazel, who is a bright
little girl and appears to be very little dis
turbed over affairs, Is in the care OF Station

While his mother and attorneys were
engaged before Judge Mcpherson in an at
tempt to recover $50, 900 from the Barker
hotel people for the loss of his left eye,
little Freeman Clancy, with a shield COW
ering the pitiful wound where his eye had
been, played unconcernedly around the
United States circuit court room yesterday.
Freeman is the boy who was accidentally
shot by Ernest Lacey. a bellboy at the
Barker hotel. on the night Of January Is
last. He is a merry faced. intelligent look
ing lad. and is now 6 years Of age. A game
Of solitary base ball, which he instituted
within the bar Enclosure attracted more
attention from the onlookers In court than
did the trial Of the case.
Mrs, Freeman was on the stand yesterday
morning. The suit is brought by the boy
through her as his next friend, and Is d.
rected against George Z. Barker, William
A. Redick. administrator of the estate of

AFFECTS THE PRICE OF FINERY
Strike of Paterson Dyers Will Likely
Send Price of Ribbons
Higher.

The strike at Paterson, N. j., which is
attracting so much attention on account Of
the riots, is having a greater effect In
the jobbing centers of the country than
might be expected when the comparatively
small number OF men involved is con-
sidered. The principal dying houses Of
the country are located at Paterson and II
is in this line of business that the strikers
are engaged. The silk mills have their
ribbons dyed in that city. and now that the
strike is on 1t is impossible to get the
goods returned for shipment to the job
bling houses. N. A. Speisberger, president
of the speisberger millinery firm Of this
city. said:
This strike at Paterson is no new thing
for US. 1t has been in progress for months,
and we are having the greatest dif1cult
10 secure ribbon to fill our orders. The
mills canno get the goods from the dye
houses, and unless the strike comes to a
sudden end II will make the supply OF fall
ribbons very short and prices will be cor
r~espondingly high"
Local dry goods jobbers report no shor-
tage at this time OF the grades of rib
bons handled by them, but say that II the
strike continues there will be a shortage
in the fall. as this is the time when the
mills are preparing goods for the fall de-

membership. The insignia of the new
order was a badge OF each firm represented

upon the coat. When the space on the
front OF the coat was filled the back was
made available, and it was an unpopular
member, indeed, who was not covered with
advertising matter.

John A. Cone is at present working upon
a novel dealing with some personal expert
ences in the Hawaiian islands. The book
ought to be we'll worth reading. for Mr..
Cone is thoroughly acquainted with Hawaii
and his sketches already published in "a
Musical Reformation" published by the ABB
hey Press, ia Fifth avenue, New York,
indicate that he knows something about
the art OF story telling. He lived for three
years in Hawaii and upon his return to
the United States the San Francisco News
Letter had his to say about his lecture
delivered at the Baldwin theater. San Fran
cisco. 1T was an intellectual treat to
those who were fortunate enough to pat
ronize it. The lecture contains a vast
amount of information and does 1t sue
cinctly and in a most entertaining manner.
Mr.. Cones observations are, in fact, bet
ter than all the printed descriptions that
have been published about King Kala-
kaua's insular dominions."
