N, P. BROWN. FRIDAY.. ....SEPT. 8, THE MECHANICS’ FAIR. It’ ls Meeting With Unprecedented Success, San FrAncisco, Sept. 6, 1899. Eprror Transcript:—Well, the Meebanics’ Fair is opened and the rae bea mine has re‘urned from the ny. versal verdict of those who have visited . the pavilion is, that itis the best fair the Mechanics’ Institute ever has held. . J The opening night, of course, foand some exhibitors not yet prepared, but they are moving in repidly this weak and by next Saturday the exposition should be in’ compléte shape. It sur-. ~ passes expectations, and that is saying force went to San Francisco today for a few days’ visit. a good deal. The main aisle with its border of palms, the Japanese and Philippine cottages, the American log cabin, the Eifel tower, the Honolulu hut, the temple of music, and the Ger-' man beer garden—an exbibit and riot a saloon—make up a rich and oriental scene at the very entrance. Then the noiseless automobile that rides around the aisles with its loads of passengers has already become a popular “fad,” and a gun is fired every night by wire. turned last evening from Forbestown less telegraphy. The Indian village, because it is) ready, has quite eclipsed the Philip. pine village,which is not completed yet, . but the men from the Philippines expect to even matters in this respect by next week, and certain it is that those who have entered the Philippine buts are not satisfied with one visit but must return to say “how do you do” to the old Justice of the Peace from Luzon, who presides over thé party as the patriarch and patron. The water buffaloes, rigged up with saddles on which children ride, have taken kindly to the new life, and, despite their flerce ‘looking horns, are as mild-mannered as a cooing dove. The Indian village over on the other side of the pavilion is a great attraction because it is finished, The wigwam is built of tules; outside is a log-fire where Captain Doctor Bill, of the Nahtaubal family of Yo-Kiah Indians, presides while they prepare their food and engage in customary pursuits. pleased with it all, and tbe little squaw, Mary Loff, wrote home to her father: “J like hear very much like stay hear year.” P.J. Heuly, the director of the Institute, who collected the Indians together, is very well satisfied with the . attention they are receiving, especially as they won the first prize of onevhundred dollars on opening night for the most complete exhibit. The fish exhibit is very attractive, including as it does in one of the tanks a collection of big striped bass. Then there are trout and black bass, carp and gold fish, and a leopard seal that is u never failing source of interest and delight to the children and the Filipinos. The Filipino circus in the: gallery' is crowded every night. For those that do not care for these things there is an art gallery that is full of attractions, and the music under the direction of George W. Bennett has been augmented by the engagement of Miss Alice Raymond, the famous cornetist. GEORGE. +-2@e + “THE DOOR THAT OPENS. Times When It Senda the Cold Shiv. ers Down Your Back. “Ever sit,” said Mr. Goblinton, ‘late at night alone in a room, reading or studying, everybody gone to bed long ago, the house, the whole city, quiet, and see presently across the table on the other side of the room a door opea ing slowly? That's a hair raising experience. You don't know by what means the knowledge that It was opening was first conveyed to you, but you see it now, opening slowly and steadily and silently, and you get up and grasp the chair in which you have been sitting and stand up, with the table between you and him for further protection, and wait for him, but he doesn’t come. “Then you go around to the door.

The country around the thriving town of Truckee in the eastern end of Nevada county has made rapid advancement this year toward the position it is destined to occupy as the jleading summer pleasure ground of California, The season now drawing to a close has been one of unparalelled activity, thousands upon thousands of sight-seers and health-seekers flocking in there from all parts of the world. Of course the stellar attraction has been Lake Tahoe, and the pnuamerous homelike hotels that border its picturesque shores have* been taxed to their utmost capacity to accommodate the throngs. McKioney’s has been the favorite stopping place during the past summer, a8 it has for several years past. The “Murphy boys” as the lessees are known, are ideal country land‘Verde, and they have just obtained a ten-year renewal of their lease. They will before next spring erect moré cottages, put.in a sewerage system, and make many other desirable and important improvements. : It is. to McKinney’s that people who are posted go if they want to enjoy “all the comforts of home” in the way of splendid beds, plenty of the choicest food, good fishing, etc, all ata cost of: $10 or $12 a week which the guests always agree seems too little money for the good things and times they have there. Those people who are hunting for style along with pleasure go to Tallac where they can get plenty of both provided they have a long purse.

Remembering that she had said it was very important, 1 glanced at it to see to whom it was addressed. “I was thunderstruck to find that it was addressed to me. Thinking that my wife must have taken leave of her senses, I tore it open and found a note that read thus: “The gas is leaking in the basement. tease send a man up to fix it.’ “T’don't remember what I said when [ charged home and found that the gas was still leaking, but all the satisfaction I got out of my wife was that she thought I would remember to post the next letter she gave me, and I believe I will.””—Detroit Free Press, eeeNinety-five per cent of all the tooth Franklin county, Maine, and yet scarceemployed in the industry in the State.

For sale by H. Dickerman, Aa HOME-TRADING IDEAS. Other People. A well known business man’ in speaking of the home-trading idea said today: “Home pride has, or should have, a great influence over people, and other things being equal, people should naturally give their trade to the home merchant. But .with regard to the ‘PRANSORIPT’S remarks about holding home trade for home dealers there is something to be done besides educating the people up to having a proper home pride. — “The merchants must do the largest part of the work themselves. This. is ‘the age of competition. People will buy where they can get the best article for the least amount of money. Very few people trade with any merchant because of the friendship they hold for that particular merchant. They either like his goods or*the price of them; money with the ordinary person is too hard to get to trade with any man, no matter who he is, if one can buy the same thing in some other place for less money.
“So [say that the work being done by the local papers is a good one, but it isin the nature of missionary work and must be supplemented by the merchants letting the people know what they have to sell and that they can sell it as cheap as, if not cheaper, than merchants of other places. Some of our more progressive merchants have long realized thefact and have profited thereby. Othere are beginning to see it. “Mind you, I do not say that the home merchant .charges more for. his goods than the San Francisco merchant; on the contrary, I believe that our merchants, as a rule, sell just as cheap as do their competitors at San Francisco, Sacramento or Grass Valley, and in many instances I think they sell much cheaper. The only trouble, if trouble there is, lies in the fact that the tradiug public is not aware of the fact.” Oo A’ New Elixir of Life.
