All who have anything to exhibit will hand it to one of the con- mittee or bring it to the hall, on Tues day afternoon. Every member of the Grange are asked to bring something suitable for grab bag. The ladies will please bring loaf of cake. Cake and cream will be on sale. The pub lie are invited.

OPENING DAY, TUESDAY.

The fair opened, Tuesday, with the temperature of an August day. The clouds were somewhat threatening, but by o'clock the sun came out brightly, and overcoats and wraps were discarded on all sides. The attend snce, Tuesday, was not far from 1000,
 which was considerably reduced,
 doubtless owing to the fact that two funerals were in progress in town that day. In the secretary's office was P.
 H. Mccarthy, polite and obliging, who hustled out all the work alone. He needed an assistant, but everything Robert 6. Mitchell, the popular presi- dent, proved the right man in the right place and was all about the grounds, getting things in motion. The cattle men arrived early, and the work of judging the oxen, steers and COWS was taken up as early as 10 o'clock. H. w. Wright and Postmas- ter George F. Duncombe had this de.

THE CARRIAGE EXHIBIT,
FAILURE OF THE PA GLASS TO GO.

The failure of the 5000 stake classes to start, Wednesday and Thursday, was disappointment on all sides, but the Fair management was in no wise to blame in the matter. It was gen. uine list of entries, which closed on July 15, with payments made as sched- uled, but out of this class of 2l horses entered, only one horse put in an ap- pearance. Strenuous effort was made to reach the owners of the horses by wire, Tuesday night, but it proved of no avail. Last year, the stake races were drawing card, and the manage ment counted on the same result, this season.

bers of their congregation. The priests
attacked in the book laid the matter
before Cardinal Gibbons.
1t is said that from Baltimore the
matter was referred TO Rome. The
book was suppressed. 1t will never see
the light.
Father Luigi Sartori has much doc
umentary evidence of his relationship
TO the pope, but though he shows an
honest pride in the elevation Of his
kinsman, he hastens to say that he has
not the remotest idea Of asserting any
claim whatever to the favor Of the pope
upon the ground Of relationship, though
he will see him shortly.
Regarding the suppressed book he re-
grets that it did not get into circulation,
so that a controversy might have been
started, as in that case he believes he
would have been upheld by the church
authorities.
He will resign his charge at Midland
in February, when he will start upon his
return home in the Tyrol. He Will first
visit Rome and make a call upon his
cousin, the holy father, and renew the
acquaintance of years ago.

Some months ago he delivered an ami
mated sermon upon the immortality of
dancing. The Association Of Protestant
Ministers Of Cumberland passed reso-
lutions commencing him.
But Father sartori, being a man OF
action, did not stop at sermonizing up
on the subject. He wrote a book. In it
he denounced the practice Of raising
money for the church by the indis-
criminate embracing of young girls to
the strains of seductive music. When
the book was suppressed he said:

brought about reforms SO sweeping that
many thought the day Of judicial reyolu~
ton for Spain was at hand,
When the republic was proclaimed,
Don Monero retired from politics, re-
signing his seat in parliament, and de-
voting himself to the practice Of law.
With the restoration Of the Bourbon
dynasty, however, Senior Rios returned
to political life, joining the liberal
party. which he had risen to lead. I'M
der the patronage of the king and Senior
Sagasta, Don Montero became a sena-
tor. and subsequently held the post Of

Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson was a great inventor. His
inventions were all Of articles Of
everyday use. He devised a three
legged folding camp stool that is the
basis of all camp stools of that kind
to-day. The stool he had made for
his own use was his constant COM
panion on occasions of outings. The
revolving chair was his invention. He
designed a light wagon. A copying
press was devised by him and came
into general use. He also invented an
instrument for measuring the distance
he walked. A pillow and a hemp cult
yator showed that his thoughts were
often on agricultural matters. His
pillow received a gold medal in France
in 1870. Jefferson benefited
financially by his inventions, but be-
lieved they should be for the use of
everyone without cost.

COUSIN OF THE POPE.
He Is Priest in a Little Mining Viii
lage in Maryland.
Father %sartori's Relations TO His
kinsman Are Peculiar, for the
Church Has just Suppressed
n Book Written by Him.

When Giuseppe ,Sarto, patriarch OF
Venice, was elected pope and took unto
himself the title OF Plus X, his eleTa-
ton made great ana sudden change in
the fortunes OF many. But to none was
ii more momentous than TO Father
Luigi Sartori, village priest Of Midland.
& mining hamlet of Maryland.
Father Sartori is the Pope's cousin. his
father having been u man of considera-
bic property in the little town Of Grigna,
neal Venice, and having taken the
name Sartori to define from the poorer
branches of the family that clung to the
name Sartor, or Tailor"
And YET from the humble Sartors was
t o come the family's greatest figure, a
pope!
1t is intimated that they will call
themselves Sartor as their fathers did
and as the pope does now, from this on.
The New York Sun says that from an
obscure priest in the diocese OF Mary
land in one day Father Sartori became
q person of importance in the Catholic
church Of America. As a youth he
was intimately acquainted with his
kinsman, who is now the pope, but, as
has been stated, Father Sartroi's branch
OF the family was the Weather one, and
the fact of the pope being Father Sar-
tori's senior by eight years practically
precludes the possibility of the two
priests OF the same family having been
schoolmates, as has been stated.
Father Sartori for years has been an
advocate of the legal suppression of
'round dancing" such rs waltzes,
polkas, two-steps and the like, He has
been almost rabid upon the subject,
claiming repeatedly and publicly that
the modern dance was the cause of mod
ern immortality.
He embodied his views in a book
which he entities THE Evil of the Mod
ern Dance" The book was printed in
New York two months ago. lni Father
Sartori took occasion to denOunce cler-
gymen who permitted dancing by mem
