was a brilliant one, and nearly every body
prominent In Hebrew society was present.
The prizes Included mission furniture,
cut glass, paintings and jewelry, all OF
which Were donated by business men In
Newark who We're won over to the cause
of the young women.

EXPOSITION NEXT YEAR.
Jamestown Directors Vote to Reopen.
Wait Stockholders Views.

NORFOLK, Nov. 1.-THE directors of
the jamestown Exposition nave voted
almost unanimously to reopen the expo
sition next year. But this does not settle
the question, for the stockholders must
pass on it, and there are numerous cred
itors who must be satisfied Immediately
after the affair closes.
The stockholders can probably be induced
to vote to reopen the fair. because they
could lose nothing and might gain some
thing. but, even then, to make the fair
a success it would be necessary to nave
the nation again participate. as we'll as the
States, and that is a doubtful proposition.

THE WHISKY RULES.

1t is long time since whisky has
been whisky in the United States.
Most of it has either mixture OF
whisky and ethyl alcohol or else
straight ethyl alcohol, Favored and
colored. without any whisky in it at
all.
There are a good many people who
think the pure whisky is as bad to
drink as the ethyl alcohol, and don't
care how they are combined, so long
as the smallest possible amount of
either Is sold. There are a few peo-
pie who think the ethyl alcohol is Just
as good to drink as the whisky, but
they are the men who are making a
profit out of the limitations known as
blends.
Despite such oppositions of opinion,
the presidents order requiring the
whsikies, the blends, the adultered
whiskies and the limitations to be
given distinct varieties OF labels Is an
excellent thing for the country; be-
cause it marks triumph for literal
and exact honesty in the enforcement
Of the pure food law. despite the pres
sure of the strongest interests that
have yet been active to weaken its
benefits. The whisky adulterators had
thought that the law was so framed
that they could be permitted to con-
tinue to sell imitation whisky under
the name OF blended whisky, but they
have now found out their mistake.
Had they won their point, the door
would have been opened for similar
laxity Of Interpretation with regard to
many food products, and much OF the
value Of the law might have been ulti.
mately lost. AS It is, the law is kept
in full effectiveness. and all that is
necessary to guarantee the people of
this country general honesty in the
labelling of the foods they buy is the
proper degree OF cooperation on the
part OF the state governments. Hin.
ois has bill pending to put the state
in line with the federal law, and 1t
should not be neglected by the legisla-
ture.--Record-H Herald.

The funeral of Mr.. r. J. T. Agricola
took place Friday afternoon at 8 O'Clock
at the Episcopal church. Rev. Nelson
George conducted the services The
interment was in the Episcopal ceme-
terry, with Masonic honors. Mr.. Agri-
cola had been Mason for forty years,
and had the respect and esteem of all
who knew him. As a member Of the
church he was faithful, loyal and de-
voted, and no one can mention mean
act that he ever did. No man ever
lived in this community of such unsul-
lied honor and nobility of character.
Unobtrusive in manner, industrious in
habit, and great in goodness, he was a
model citizen. His departure to bet
ter sphere Of his existence gives him a
reward vouchsafed to the pure in
heart.
Those Of the relatives outside of the
city who attended the funeral of Mr..
R. ]. T. Agricola, were Mr.. Otto Agri-
cola and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. J l. Ham

NEW HOTEL.

We are informed that the boarding
houses in Marietta are about full and
new applications for board fer the sum-
mer months are coming, and the ac-
commodations for the people who want
to spend the summer in Marietta are in
adequate. With the town growing as
it is, it is astonishing that some man of
money doesn't build large and mod
ern hotel here. Rightly located, it
would get all the patronage it could
handle. Why not agitate this matter
and efforts be made to build hotel
here? 1t is needed as much as anything
to advance Marietta's interests There
is no town in the State, of 5000 popu-
lation, but what has q commcdious ho-
tel. We have one good hotel, it is true,
but new hotel would prove feeder
to this one, and both would prosper.

was sounded, and fire was discovered
in the roof Of Mr.. E. G. Gilbert's dwell

Waddell streets, being the old family
residence of Mrs. W. E. Gilbert.
The pressure of water was inadequate
at the start, and the roof burned rap
idly. The fireman succeeded in extin.
guising the fire, but not before the roof
was burned off.
The house was occupied by Mr.. J. A.
Steil and family, and it is thought the
fire originated from defective fue.
The building was insured with Mr.. ]

people TO make their. homes there.
People will flock where there is EN-.

give employment to but few men, and
that only for a portion Of the year. The
