. I Wednesday's Daily. :
The fair given by the ladies of the
Catholic eti arch began last night at 8
p clock m the Vogt opera houe. At 4
o'clock in the ' afternoon when the
Chronicle ' reporter visited the. ball
chaos reigned supreme. The booths
were in place, the decorations about
finished, but all the remnants and
wreckage were still on the floor. At 8
o'clock, when the doors were thrown
open and the big ball was brilliant with
electric lights, the scene was 'different,
for then every thii.g tended to delight
the eye. Thugaily-eolored booths, the
immense display of lancy wares, bright
colors and pleasing forms- all served to
give it a fairy-like appearance. '
Entering tbe ball, the first booth to
the right, the largest, by the way, oc
cupying nearly half the side of the hall,
was tasteful'y arranged, with arches and
counters craped i- yellow ' and -white,
relieved with hunches of Oregon grape,
producing a very pretty effect. , It was
presided over by ; Mrs. J. b. Fish and
Mrs. T. J. Sen fert. . Their assortment
was varied, amoi g them being stoves,
washing machines, oil painting, dishes,
clocks, silver-sets and innumerable fancy
articles for raffle. In this booth Mrs. W.'
L. Bfadshaw had charge of the fancy
articles, Mrs. J. C. Her(z superintend
ing the dolls' department. Her part of
the booth was prettily decorated with
little dolls, dressed in various colored
crepe paper, in this booth also was a
fishery, in charge of Miss Annie Haslam,
and the piscatorial melange that was
caught from' that same pond would have
made old Isaac Walton die of envy. The
pond was fished dry, bnt-tlje Regulator
tonight will bring np a. new supply from
the Washington state hatchery at Liitle
White Salmon. ' . . .
The second booth occupied the balance
of the right side of the hail.- It was
trimmed in red and white, also flecked
out with Oregon grape, and was in
charge of Ms. M. T. Nolan and Mrs. H.
Herbring. ' Tbeir stock in trade consist
ed of hons-j furnishing goods .of all de
scriptions, and aiso the German lottery
that had everything in it that 'the imag-'
ination of man could conceive. A in on t
the things we noticed particularly was
some pretty-dolls, and a cute little bed
with twin dolls fast asleep iu it. : We
were invited to take a chance in these,
bat modestly- refused, as thev seemed
toj expensive. - Eeeides. we never couid
win anything at a raffle and was afraid
the luck might change.
At the head of the hall were flower
tables, presided over by Miss Bertha
Glenn. The tables' were decorated in
orangtt and blue, but only the keen eyes
of a newspaper fiend w ould have dis
covered this, as the whole' was covered
with masses of chrysanthemums of
every kind, co'or and 'size," 1
Next to these aud. near the left
side of the room was . situated the
crepe paper booth, in pink bunting ar.d
Oregon grape, and decorated with paj er
, flowers. It was in charge of Miss Alma j
Shanno and Miss Lizzie Lauer. Everf
thi.'jg here Was made of paper, ar.fi near
ly all was the handiwork of the young
adies who are in charge of it, who have
been engaged since sometime in in'Jnne
in manufacturing the thcusand beauti-
tiful things' in it.. There were lamp
shades, the very daintiest in'shapeand
tintc, picture frames, glove and bander
chief boxes', mats for vases etc., artifieinl
flowers, among which were some of tbe
trnt beautiful pink and white, roses e
have ever seen, St. Joseph's lilies, pop
pies and others that, had the queen of
Sheba had them when' .she undertook to
puzzle Solomon, that learned man would
have, certainly failed to get any assist
ance from' the bees,' and the qnem
-vouid have carried her point, for be
tween nature and art the lines of demar
cation had been erased.
The next booth was in yellow and
ros.;, presided over by Mi.-s, Grace" L uicr,
who dispensed candy and sweets and of
cur-ae gathered a-onnd. her the young
foif-.s. -.-';.'"'.'.." -
-Occupying a couple of rods along the
left wall aaa throwing arrangement in
cbnrge of. Carl . Gotifric-d. A siuff-.'d
fi;ure, labeled "Aunt Sally," wore a
calico dress and a1 clay pipe, which it
was Carl's dtity to see she kept in her
mouth (that is the pip") while the boys
threw at it.- '
The last booth, in making' the circuit
of the hall, was in pink and green.. This'
was' tne' reiVt-shnient room, where, be
sides providi;.;; for the immediate wants
of the bunory, pies, cakes, and nearly
everything pertaining to a Thanksgiving
dinner, could be puichased.
Near the.door to the left is a voting
booth in care of Miss Minnie Sandrock,
where the nnst popular railroad maji is
being ek-c'eil. The votes lat night
were as' h lows : Wm. Maher. 15: J.
Gallnnher, 7: 5i. Rice, H;;j. Fagan,S6;

There ia three kinds of babies. ; Babies
that ain't borned yet, babies that is
horned and babies that never o't to bin
borned, and doll babies; but cats' babies
is kittins and dog's babies is pups, but a
cow's baby is atcalf, and so forth.
Babies'1 is- bawled and bald. Good
babies is the kind you Vtad about. They
are mostly dead, or else tiiey belong to
uther fokes, and not to vou.
A baby is a small pece of breething
skin, whiten is like a newspaper read
awl -over ;goak). ' Some fokes uses , them
for clocks, because a baby's -insides is
awl full of yells, and when he goes off it
is nite and most partinis knows it is
time for them to get np. Some babies
was invented by Mr. Edison andsome
by nther men. Babies is devided into 2
kinds bo3'8 and the kind that never o't
to bin. "borned gurls. But twins and
t'riplers is the uther kind, whiten comes
in grapes. They come too hi for most
fumblies. But i think its 2 bad about
my ant mary, "pa Ees God won't never
let her have no twins nor triplers, nor
anything 'cause he's down on old' mades.
But a kitten can lirk its oan muther.
Babies nin't got no-teeth; but they
want -to swailer thare oan fists and
everything, the littnl suckers! But
there is too mulch babies in tb world,
anyiio. If docturs would .Only vmind
there oar. bisneand cure sick fokes more
and -"not go runnd for so mn-tch m w
bab:es awl the time, the-wnrld wonldent
have baf so much trubbel. They could
cite kwI the collick and.ineezles on erth
by not findin no more babies, and littul
boys like mo would gut 'sura altenshun
too. ' '. ,' " .-'-.'.
If u'he.r babies grow'ed in egs like a
hen's, you could eat ; 'cm and. they
woodent get borned to squall and waist
miik on. But a duck's bibles in cali.-d
gosluus. . Some babies is vt-ry tutr. Yon
can drop them on the fl.y.r anvi nocl;
tfiare beds on the wall nnu slam them
awl ovar the house and they won't. kick
hone nor cry. . Tiiey dun't .have no
hoopingVoif nor nuthing. Thai- never
wake up and thafe slummicks' don.t ake
canse they are iull.of sawdust, and they
are doil babies. Our b.-by makes me
tired, elm crows 2 much, gess she's stuck
on herself. But a mouse ain't a rill's baby
any more than a buliet is a camion bail's
little boy.' , "'
Lams.is baby sheep?, with wool ".vhis
liers on I. ha re ou'.sides to make ci0ths
mt of lor storekeepers to gt;ck you with.
Bht if babies c?n!d only stay lit: !e they
would be hapy, for whert thev-j;it growd
up ur.d havt to hump for a livin t-!:cv
find ot:t what a Iiard, coiled 'spere ;hi.--
to be interdused to. its mother 2 or 5
times a yere, cause city mothers has got
to lie swell. But it ain't swell to watch
out for kids when you git 'em.
Dopted babies is the kind that grows
on doorsteps. An' once t hay-was a good
man whitcb never had no childrun, an'
so he went to sea for 6 years and left his
wife to home. So when he come there
aijin thare was two littnl boys and two
littnl gurl babies waitin for hin, whiten
was a hapy suppfize.'

David F. ILcy,' of San Francisco,
representative of the California fish com
mission is in Portland, nis Oregon trip
is to secure 200 or more pair of. Mongo
lian pheasants for shipment -to Califor

"The fame of the Mongolian pheasant
has reached all parts of Calif rnia,"'Baid
Mr. . Maocy yesterday. "We want a
a cbanca to enjoy the same eport as is
found in Oregon hunting these birds,
and we want them bad. My mfssion to
Oregon is as the ngent of our fijh com
mission to buy 200 pair of these pheas- .
ants and take them to California, where -Ihey
will be disturbed in different uor
tiocs of the slate, for propagation. Our
epQi'Lsmen are uarticularly anxious to
have the ubeasants introduced into Cali

Oregon, it whs expected that some of the
birds wonid find their way over the line'
