ARRANGED AT THE CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO.

i £ #V ,

The Mamnerchor mmmue bell, last fiaht, was ail that It* projectors had promised—and more. The hall was one east picture of Oriental splendor and color. Bamboo was freely * used for house columns and srarden entrances, and hundreds of qoeer-shaoed Chinese lanterns *ave color and a peculiar soft slow to tn* whole. On one wall wss an avenue of Woomlns cherry trees, on another a smooth-flowing canal, pagodas rose from out the gardens and the entrance to a palace w4k arranged for the stage. There 1 were dragons and Chinese embtem» | everywhere When the guests. In cosmopolitan characters, appeared, the s<‘ene was rich In color and moving groups. | The balcony was draped In rich stuffs, with umbrellas, from every brace of wh»ch there was an electric light. All the arches were framed In tiny bulbs of every color, and from the celMng hunsr dosens of gay lanterns. About 4,<W> electric lights were placed in the receotion and assembly halls. The scenery was painted by Mr gleeper. formerly scenic artist at the Grand Opera House, and It was a triumph of skill. The grand march wss led by the reception committee, the uniform for which was a trl-colored cap embroidered In gilt, and a shoulder streamer of ribbons. The floor committee wore Pierrot costumes of white, with red buttons. Hilarity reigned from the outset, and parties vied with etM another in claiming attention. The Carrie Nation smashers, carrying banners, one of which was, “We heard there was to he a nigh ball her* to-night,” frequently broke out In this song:

THE CARRIE NATION “SMASHERS” AT THE MAENNERCHOR MASK BALL LAST NIGHT.

Eemocrats Subscribe for $6,000 of the Stock—J. W. Kern’s Appeal. A preliminary meeting of the stockholders of the new Indiana Democratic Club was held in the ordinary at the Grand Hotel, last night. John W. Kern, the provisional president, explained to about fifty well-known Democrats the plan of organization, and urged them ail to support the club with liberal subscriptions of investment stock. Hiram Brown also, urged liberal dealing with the new enterprise. which he thought waa a necessity In the party organization. Mr Kern, In hts remarks, reverted to the mellow days of the Hendricks arm Gray Oubs, when the city and county were Democratic, and expressed the hope that the new club would bring about a mere active and binding interest atnona all Democrats. He said !t wau time for all personal ambition to be sacrificed, arm he, for one, was ready to give u;> any ambition he might have, and to resign any office he might hold In the club i; such would further its purposes. "It v absurd,” said he, "that a party which Is not In power, should be divided about spoils of office that it has not won, and can not win until it is reunited and fully organized.” Mr. Kern said he had been authorized by one Democrat, who Is now absent from the city, to subscribe $1 .coo. but he could not, he said, disclose the name. It was supposed that this man was Mayor Taggart until later J E. Bell announced that Mr. Taggart had authorized him to subscribe 11.000. it is understood that the unnamed subscriber Is A. G. Smith Mr. Kern also said A. A. McKain, who was too ill to come, would take 1500 of investment stock, and. if needed, would increase his subscription. L. P. Harlan

They Chased Away Dog and Cat and Defied Traps. “I don’t want no gilded cage. T alnt startin' no a very. I want a rat trap and I want a good one,” said the irate man who lives in North Alabama street as he pounded on the counter with a small rat trap until the windows shivered, and then continued: “I got this trap on your recommendation and the rats I have up home just played with it and reached in and stole all my bait.” “Ah, yes,” said the clerk, “you want one Uo have and to hold,’ ” and he laughed with keen appreciation of his

own Joke.

The customer looked thoughtfully at the open mouth of the cl^rk and then at the trap, hut contented himself with a disdainful grunt, and continued: "Yes. I reckon all that's true, and another funny clerk down the street told me that the ladles wore rats In their hair and he didn't see where J had any kick coming, but t alnt got the half of the inclination for that and l don’t believe he nas.

either, now.'

"We ain't had the rats so very tong, and 1 reckon I rouM get used to them. I get used to a hot! once, and felt sorter .lonely when I first lost it—but my wife ain't that way. You see they ain't ordinary rata. They like company, and are never so happy as when they're with us. When the first came, about a week ago. they woke me up by playin' around in the bedroom, and when I looked out the room was full of rats. They didn’t gfeem to be playin' anythin' special, but they Bounded as If they might have been playin' hob. but I stood It all right until one of them pulled my Hngeree off a chair to play charades with or somethin’, and then 1 got mad and drove them out Into the kitchen. A neighbor told me next morning that l ought to have a dog. and so I got one—a fox terrier that was a deuce of a sight homelier than the rats, but he had the reputation of being a terror on rats, so l took him home and showed him th** rat holes and sort of introduced him to his job. There was an awful racket In the kitchen that* night, after l went to bed, and i began to feel sort of sorry for the rats and hope that thx* terrier wouldn't splash the blood on

the woodwork.”

'fhe man paused as if in reverie, and thS clerk whistled softly. Finally the silence wa* broken by a deep sigh, and

the customer said:

“The man who gave me the dog said he would lead the rats a merry chase, and l guess he did, for when I went out in the kitchen the whole gang of rats was bangin' about the legs of the table dartn' him to come down. I took him

bac k home next day.

"Ye*. I tried poison, but they would take the stuff out In the back yard and bury it, 1 reckon, so my wife and me wouldn’t eat It by mistake, and they dallied with a cat I borrowed till his hair was mostly memory and his own folks didn’t know film when I took him hack. I stopped up the holes, usin’ up about fifteen tomato cans, and while I wa* stoppin' up the holes from one side they was startin’ new ones from the other.” “They got to playin' on the bed. last night, and I got up and I beat one of them to death after an exhaustin’ and destroyin’ chase of about eight mile* in the parlor. 1 reckon It was good exercise. but it seemed sort of selfish for the rat and me to have it all to ourselves, and I guess I’ll take one of them traps « , t Yi.toat , I 11 L* it , I le i *

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio:

Gentleman—"I can recommend your preparation, Peruna, as a tonic. Its reputation aa a cur a for catarrh la excellent. It having been used by a number of people known to me with tho very beet results.”—G. W. Atkinson.

f-\ ULLY fifty per cent, of the people of the United States are suffering frotn c*» H t&rrh in some degree or phase. There is scarcely a home In the land entirely free from this disease. One or more member* of every household either have catarrh or some other ailment directly dependent upon catarrh. Catarrh is rapidly becoming a national scourge. Its existence In the system complicates and Intemlfles any aliment a person muy happen to have. With these alarming facia come* the encouraging news that Peruna cures catarrh. Cures It permanently; cures it by eradi-

cating It entirely from the system.

Peruna is an Interna! systemic remedy, reaching ihe disease at its fountain-head. It cures catarrh of the head, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, or

catarrh of any other organ of the body.
