NO FAIR THIS FALL
OIsappOintments in Expected Sub
scrip'iOns Causes Committee to
Abandon the Canvass.
MAY HAVE 1T YEAR HENCE
Time in Which to Rearrange Grounds
Too Short-Stockhoider Will
Hold Meeting.

There will not be a county fair in
the city of Rock Island this fall The
project has been abandoned temporar-
lily. The subscription committee ended
It's work yesterday afternoon. Bus
mess men from whom liberal sub
scriptions were expected did not re-
spOnd when called upon, and the COM
mittee decided that it would be use
less to labor longer in this direction,
since there was so little time left in
which to close up the preliminaries.
There will likely be a county fair
here. but not before another year. The
canvass of the county has been made
pretty thorough. and the sentiment
favoring the undertaking is so general
that the promoters have absolute faith
in it. despite there have been disap-
pOintments met with. men who were
mainstays. financially. having gone
back completely on the committee.
May Extend Option.
The Ninth street track still is held
under lease to the Twin-City Driving
association. There is held an option
on additional ground at the north, and
il is probable that an extension of this
will be asked. 1t had been hoped to
close the subscription lists last week.
There were delays Occasioned by the
desire for consideration on the part
Of those who were looked forward TO
as among the ones who would take the
largest blocks of the stock. and the
committee felt confident that the
amount would be realized not later
than yesterday, as there was much
work to be done in the matter of
building and Encouragement of the
grounds. When the subscriptions
needed to complete the $4,000 were
not forthcoming yesterday the com
mittee agreed to give up the idea of
| having the fair this fall.
Up to the Stockholders.
! Likely a general meeting of the
stockholders will be called at an early
date for the purpose of learning their
wishes. All who have subscribed
doubtless will favor continuing the pro
| ject, and in such an event there will
be steps taken to hold the ground and
| erecting the necessary buildings ear
| ly the coming summer. There neces.
sarily would have been great rushing
in order to have given the fair on the
| scale proposed the last week in Sep
| TENDER. and the committee feels that
probably it is as well that it go over
another year. allowing ample time fol-
the execution of the plans.

MOTHER OF PEARL INLATD.
Infinite Art Displayed by Natives OF
French Tonquin Town.

The sole curiosity for sightseers in
the city of Hanoi, town of the
French Tonquin, is the industry of in
laying mother-of-pearl in precious
woods. In fact, one street, called the
Street of the Inlayers, is given up to
the trade. The workmen are genuine
artists, combining artistic conception
with great manual skill. Furnished
with rude tools, burt with great pa
tience and skill, these workmen pro-
duce articles of great beauty.
They have applied the principle OF
division OF labor, or specialization, to
their work The cabinet-makers FIRST
put together the various parts of the
materials to be incrusted. The join
ing is done without the aid of nails
and with nice system of dovetailing
and use of paste, of which lacquer is
the base. From this cabinet-maker
the wood passes into the hands of tbs
ornamentation on rice paper.
These designs are transferred to the
wood by the inlayer, whose duty it IS
to choose the pearl that will best
serve to bring out the beauty Of the
design. The mother-of-pearl is OBJ
tanned from a large species of she'll
fish called casqUe, caught chiefly upon
the shores of the island of Poulo- con-
dar.
The inlayer cuts the pieces of pearl
into little bits and chooses the com
bination of colors which will make the
contrase necessary for the artistic
success of his work The iridescence
is heightened by the use of pearl dust
furnished by kind of mussel taken
from the brooks of that region. When
the bits of mosaic are chosen the in
layer tries to give them the form of
the design chosen and disposes them
as a mosaic in the wood. The crude
morsel is made translucent by pumica
stone. The pearl is then fixed in
wise and the labor of patience begins.
Kneeling before the wise he shapes
the piece with a file no larger than an
ordinary color crayor When the
pearl is shaped it is necessary to
trench it in the wood This is ordia-
arily done by children IA or Is years
of age. The bits of pearl are then
set in the grooves and fixed with
paste. The whole is gently heated to
melt the paste and so fill the inter
stices. The design is then polished,
Vanished and given the finishing
touches The work has been counter
feited, but never successfully.

The restaurant woman is new

The restaurant woman is new
type, and has never yet received the
attention she deserves. The lady
seems to imagine that a meal at
restaurant is a theatrical performance.
She sails into room as an actress
walks to the footlights, and sits down
on her chair as if it were ''propedty'
sofa. She never smiles, every ges-
ture is as carefully studied as if an
audience were attentiyely watching
her. She has the restaurant stare,
which conveys, "You are absolutely
insignificant; do you not imagine l am
duchess?"
It is as much as many of the fellow
guests can do to withhold from clap
ping their hands as she leaves the
room to show their approval of her
excellent acting.-London Truth.

WOES OF QUARTERMAsTER.

Brooklyn Eagle-In time of war the
chief quartermaster is the busiest man
in the army. When our troops were
about to embark for Cuba in 1898
Lieutenant Colonel Bellinger, the chief
quartermaster of Tampa, was poster
ed almost out of ais wits by officers
who wanted this and that and the
other thing for the journey.
Among the worst of them was Ger
tain chief surgeon, who kept continue
ally running to the quartermaster for
all sorts of supplies, for his depart
ment. At last, when Colonel Bellin-
ger was at his very busiest the sur
geon came in, saying he wanted q
needle and thread with which to sew
the red cross on the hospital flag.
Every well, major" said the quar-
termaster, with a touch of Impotence,
''you can have all the needles and
thread in Tampa. Is that all YOU
ant ?"
81 believe that is ALL" said the sur
geon.
"sure you don't want anythir 9
else

FLoCkING INTO CANADA.

Immi grafton from Dakota and Adjoin-
ing States-Major Edwards, United
States Consul General at Montreal,
Describes the Movement as Due to
Scarcity of Land.
Montreal, Nov. 15.--Major Allison
Edwards, United States consul general,
who returned to-day from visit to his
home at Fargo North Dakota, said in
an interview: 1.-THE proper way to de-
scribe the manner in which the people
of North Dakota are coming over into
Western Canada is to say they are
coming over in droves. Among the
people there did not seem to be any
thought of there being a boundary line
at all. 1t is simply question:" added
the major, ''of there not being any
more land in North Dakota and the
surrounding States, and the people are
iocking to Canada to get good farms.
Naturally the number that will come
over will increase all the time, and I
may say the people you are getting are
the best people in the West. They are
we'll supplied with money and are we'll
acquainted with the conditions under
which they will have to work. The
agents of the Canadian government are
prepared to give the fullest information
regarding homestead and other laws.

Why Old People are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.
