Yale Student Scored Great Success
 With His Lecture Last Evening.
 One of the largest and most enthusi- astic audiences ever present at func- tion given under the auspices of the Young Peoples society of the Daven- port Congregational church was the one of last evening in Davenport chapel on Greene street. The event was in the nature of a concert and lecture. The vocal selections by the male quartette, the violin solos by MT. Wittstein, the contralto selections by Miss Hugo and the tenor solos by MT. GambadeIla were splendidly given and most heartily en- cored.
 The feature of the evening was the lecture on Charles Dickens Works by Arthur Bartlett, of Yale. MT. Bart lett handled the subject in a very schol- arly and interesting way. The lecture was replete with interesting historical data and entertaining anecdotes. The life of the great author was treated briefly, the lecture dealing mainly with the works of Dickens. MT. Bartlett proved himself g. master of his subject, and the lecture met with such an en- thusiastic reception that it will be re- .peated at an early date in this city.

THE LAU MELoMELo.
How Hawaiian Natives Go After the
 F'inny Tribe.

How Hawaiian Natives Go After the
 Finny Tribe.
 "Lau melomelo'' is the name of de- coy used by the native. fisherman of Hawaii It is made of the hardest wood to be found on the island and is carved and rubbed till it assumes the shape of a club with a little knob at the smaller end, to which the line is tied.
 The club is from one to three feet long. A village sorcerer performs cer- tain rites over a sacred fire. After this is done the club is magic, and the fisherman must be extremely careful of it. If woman should step over it or enter canoe in which it lies, the club would lose all it's power and would be useless ever afterward.
 After the club has been charmed the fisherman mixes canlenut and cocoanut meat bakes it and ties the mixture in a wrapper of cocoanut fiber.
 At the fishing grounds the club is covered with the oily juice of the stuff and is then lowered carefully to the bottom. The scent of the baked nut meat attracts certain kinds of fish, which soon gather and begin to nibble at the club. As soon as enough fish are around the decoy small bag shaped net is lowered very gently until its mouth is just over the club. The latter is then pulled up carefully and cum ningly till it Is within the bag. The fish are so eager for the stuff with which the club is covered that they fol- low it into the net without fear. As soon as all the fish are in it fisherman dives and closes the mouth of the net, whereupon the rest haul it up quickly. Washington Post.

Foot Rests Now Provided for All Who
 Attend.
 The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth presents its patrons with a long-desired convenience, and is the. only show doing so. Everybody who has had seat in the circus, not a re-. served seat, knows how uncomfo table and fatiguing it is to sit for several hours without a place to rest the feet, and no matter how interesting the per- formance may, have been, a sense of Weariness was sure to be felt owing to the want of a place to rest the feet. This serious objection has happily been overcome, and Barnurn & Bailey have now provided an ample foot-rest for ev- cry one of the fifteen thousand in their circus tent, thus adding to the comfort and pleasure of their friends. In addi- ton to the new seats there is new kind of electric light, the Nernst light, which is generated by new vapor en- zines, thus avoiding smoke, steam and sparks Then again there is a patented zoetrope in which Cycle, the "Kinetic Demon" daily dares death in trriffc and perilous feat. There are quite a number of other new patented matters covering all sorts of things from car couplers to tent poles, which, when con- sidered as a whole, go to prove the cir GUS is no less progressive than other lines of business. #.g.s. <.
 In the new parade will be seen tWen- ty-nine gorgeous floats. which, while not exactly patented, are amply pro- tected against copying or duplication by any one even if not deterred by the enormous expense involved in the con- struction. One of these affairs is drawn by one team of forty beautifully matched horses. Then there is a re markable exhibit of all the types of warships used in our navy. This ex- hibit consists of eleven miniature ves- sels, built according to scale, and are as complete as human ingenuity and skill can make them. %.,S tts5t

 O Elusive Goddess, Night! black, raven hair
