Easter morning had rather POI ten
tious dawning, but by noon the drizzling
rain had ceased, and while the day was
not of the most proptious for the airing
of new bonnets, the weather was halmy
and comfortable, affording many an op-
portunity for a stroll to the suburbs. The
exercises of the children at the NJ. Il.

law spreads the story that he is Shylock
Down with editors.- Meadville Tribune.

"A curious feature of the fireworks |
program during the dedication cere-
monies at the Worlds Fair, st. Louis,

proper safeguards to prevent injury, a
notice directed TO the finder that on re-
turn of the notice to the Exposition
officials season pass TO the Fair will be
given. 1t is estimated that the balloon
