THE GREAT CAMBRIDGE FAIR
Which Will be Held September ;. 4. 5, and 7,
1900.

lyOO.
Speaking of fairs reminds MS that
the fair season is again upon us, and
that In about two weeks from nov IL
will be about as easy to End board
ing or lodging place IN the village OF
Cambridge provided such place has
not been engaged weeks ahead-as II
is To find a needle in a hay NOV.
During fiity-one weeks OF the year
Cambridge is village OF abont 1000
Inhabitants; durln { the iiity-second or
fair week 1t becomes city Of from
10000 20 30 Oo inhabitants. the mum
Der varying from day to day.
Last years fair WAS the. most sue
cessiul yet held, and theprospect for
such a fair this year Is far better now
than ii was at this time last year.
1t has been impossible this year to
find space enough along the midway
TO meet the demand therefor, so a con
siderable extension has been added
thereto from a part of the grounds
heretofore unused for this purpose.
The demand for space in the buildings
was so great that it was all gone be-
fore June lst., the following being
some OF those who will occupy a whole
building: william II. Frear X Co.,
Fuller & Warren Co., +. w. Edwards
& Son. II. Boughton & Co., Wells x
Coverly, william d. O'Brien and F..
c. Tower * Co.. while Cluett X Son,
Hill Dental Co., Albcny Business
College. worcest Salt Co, Vermont
Farm Machine Co., and many others
viii occupy parts OF buildings.
The entries in the horse, cattle, sheep
swine, poultry, grain, fruit and yege-
table departments have been so large
this year that the secretary will posi-
lively refuse to receive entries alter
the date of closing same; VIZ Aug. y.
After having spent the first day ana
the morning of the second along the
midway. in the exhibition halls and
among the well filed coops, pens and
stalls. it will be wise to spend the re-
mainder of the time during the fair up
on the grand stand from which place
Won can witness excellent racing and
the costhest and best special attrac'
tions shown ut any faii this season.
The Narcels-the mirth provoking
comedy artists-will make you laugh
and grow fat unless you are already
too fat, in which case the laughing Will
tire you Just enough so you will lose
the excess fat.
Remember. There are five days and
every one of them big one.

By Alcohol Flames.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE

a very dangerous, although a quick.
y extinguished fire occurred Wednes.
day afternoon just after 8 O'Clock in
the basement OF w. l.. Gokay's drug
store on Main street.
Mr. Gokay, the proprietor OF the
store was IN the basement filling n
large bottle with alcohol. Having
drawn nearly gallon, and NOTICING
the liquid beginning to run slowly. no
Lighted a match to see what the troubl.
was. The alcohol ignited and the
barrel exploded throwing the flame
into Mr. Gokay's face and neck and
setting his clothing-on fires
lie Immediately came up stairs into
the store. When his brother Lawrence
Gokay, saw the condition he was in he
attempted to extlngulsh the fire with
ms hands and body, but was unsuc.
cessinL In trying to help his brother
MS hands were quite badly burned.
LynA Haynes, who was ia the store at
the time, grabbed large piece OF bur.
lap and, throwing Mr. Gokay. wrap.
ped him in II, and-soon had the fire in
MS clothes out. An alarm OF fire was
Immediately sent in from Box 4s NV
James II. Kelley and a physician was
sent for. Meanwhile Mr. Gokav his
face badly burned. his neck BLEEDING
ana his clothestorn and burned. with
the help OF his brother and others
oravely worked to save the valuables
in the store.
The Stark hose company arrived ON
the scene within three minutes follow.
ed closely by the Puinams and the rest
OF the department and after a hard. hot
and dangerous fight owing TO the pror.
unity OF gasolene and other inaam.
maoles had the fire under control. In
spite OF his terrible burns Mr. Gokav
helped haul the hose through the store
but was finally induced to LET others
do the work. He allowed Drs Putnam
aud Stewart TO take him TO the for.
mers Office, where his wounds were
dressed.
His face neck, chest and arms we're
terribly and painfully burned and
blistered. Although he suffers a great
deal his condition is thought not to
be dangerous. 1t is really miraculous
that he should have escaped from the
burning basement alive, and that at
least his eyesight was not injured.
The fire department deserves a great
deal Of credit for its quick and efficient
work. The release was sounded at
$50. The drug store was not injured
except in the basement where fire and
water did some damage, but there was
considerable damage from water and
from handling over the goods. The
sum OF s37 is also missing from the
opera house ticket account.

Remedy for Dandelion.

To person who is trying to main
tain lawn dandelions means moth
ing but a source of work and annoy
ance, says Country Life In America.
Cutting them on, even below the sur
face, seems merely to have the effect
Of making them multiply the faster.
A spoonful Of gasoline poured into the
center Of the head Of each dandelion
or chicory will destroy them root and
branch within "a to 4S hours. The
gasoline penetrates throughout the
plant, even into the tip Of the roots,
causing Shiny decomposition. APP
parently gasoline has some affinity
for the milk or latex In these plants
and follows the latex tubes through
the whole plant. Grass and shrub
berry are not injured by the gasoline
unless 1t is carelessly applied in un-
due quantities.
