The programme waa fixed for 4 o'clock, and from that time onward to 11, but waa aomewha-t delayed by the howers In the city whlon kept the people away, al though ft did not Tain at the park. Both amusement and oratory were united tn Che programme, and there was plenty of music, etc uth's Band played selections during Ore arternoon and evening.

Prof. Co- teiio amusea Tne people wicn nis Hibernian Tocallsm. and Prof. John Denier and ibis family of little onea In the "Punch and Judy" performance, kept up the laughter. Then came the races.

half dosen men were entered In the foot race for memoers only, ana u. ti. Anten won ine gold badge. The nex.t was the 100-yard race for boys from 8 to 14, and the silver badge was won by Walter McCIos- ker. There were aulte a number of little clrla In the race for slrls of the same ajre as the boys, and Amelia Olaeer won the silver medal easily.

A boys' shoe hunt waa very amusing. and George Fisher 'got his right shoes nrsx ana won tne silver coin. The speaking came afterwards and was Interesting, though not elaborate. The officer and prominent members were seated on the platform, and the band played a cake walk, alter wnicn cnariea H. BrowrUee arose and delivered a short ddreaa of welcome, referring to the fact chait tne order was twenty-ix years old.

and had been organised here for seventeen or years, lie oaae everyone welcome, and then Introduced Prof. J. W. Pearce aa the orator. Prof.

Pearce delivered a very Interesting Impromptu address. In which lie told of the advantages and benefits of the association to ether of oeoDle in such an organ ization, which made boem acquainted and gave them friends, whereas rn-e regular Insurance companies know nobody, but are mere machines, receiving; premiums and paying benefits. A man belonging to the Knights of Honor may find brothers ail over the United States. Prof. Pearce said that he was Insured In both kind of companies.

He told of the good there was in a man having his family provided for In case of death, and made a very fine presentation of the advantages of the order.

Frank Lemoine gave some of Bis wonderful wire-walking feats, and there were exhibitions of contortion by Edward Fabe and on stilts by Prof. Denier, and balancing by Ketchle, the Japanese performer. The officers of the affair were as follows: General Committee C. H. Brownlee, grand dictator; W.

Brooke rapped his baton on his music stand to warn the players to be resdy. Usually when such signal is heard every member of thla well disciplined band comes to attention, and every wind Instrument operator haa bis Instrument to his Hps ready to sound the first note of the score. But last night there waa no response. Tbe conductor rapped and the players were dumb and motionless. Mr.

Brooke, who was not In the secret, showed his annoyance to the an. dleace, by rapping again sharply, stamping his foot, and Snally saying: "Well, what la this?" Then stood up Mr. George Onion, a member of the band laid a band on his leader's arm, turned him around and explained that in behalf of the members ha was cast to present him with a souvenir. It waa a beauty. It waa a medal, of which band leaders ar apt to have many: but nana war.

Ilk this, which la the main represented the seal or Chicago, nanging rrom tbe crossbar by gold chains, centered with a diamond and supported by a ruby, anrroonded by aa old gold wreath. On th crossbar pin front la the nam P. Brooke," on the revere aid of th medal are the words: "From members of tb Chicago Marine Band, Season of 1889." Mr. Brooks, who has composed many good marches, was completely surprised: the band had stolen a march on him; and am waa foe th moment utterly unable to compos a speech, and simply said fa had settling to sar: sad then th band, without his direction. played "Aula Lang Syne," sad the concert went a.

MISS EDBTA VA1XAS. Miss Edna Valias, who graduated as the leading pupil of Magnolia School last Friday, Is a granddaughter of the late Dr. Anthony Vallas, rector of Trinity church. She led her classes throughout and received a yearly average of 09 in scnowrsnip, 9 in test work and 100 In deportment.

The result of her examination for the high school was 98 2-10. Her class consisted of twenty-six pupils, all of whom passed the High School examination, the highest average being JJ11" low? 85 1-2. The MagnoHa School haa won ten the fourteen district medals, and none of Its High School candidates for the past have been rejected. Miss Wlckes and fellow-teachers, in this particular case, deeply regret the non-awarding of one of the medals to such a bright and deserving pupil as Miss Vallas, the margin of 1-10 of mark being such a close and fine distinction; that in all her experiences as a public school teacher ah has never seen a child who could equal Miss Vallas' record, a statement that she say will be substantiated by every one of her fellow-teachers, and which is made In justice to them, herself, her school and her leading pupil, and ahe feels satisfied that If Miss Vallas concludes to continue her studies In the High School that she will carry off the honors there. Miss Vallas Is the daughter of Mr.

The weather bureau office In this city la maintained for the benefit of the public, and all are cordially Invited to avail themselves of the climate and crop data received, compiled and kept on file therein. But. to the end that the various reports received by telegraph and mall may be properly tabulated, compared, studied, summarized and printed, and thus put into shape to best serve the entire public, and also to avoid any semblance of discrimination In favor or against Individuals, firms or bodies, by giving out Information In advance of Its official publication, the following rules will be strictly observed: First The data published with th. dally weather map, relative to rainfall aud temperature in tbe cotton belt, except such data as are received every morning from regular weather bureau stations and posted on the bulletin boards of the several exchanges, will be given out when requested, after the maD Is ready for the press, but not before 10 a. local time.

Second The Information published In the weekly climate and crop bulletin, or the cotton region climate and crop bulletin, will be available to all Interested at and after 12 noon, local time, Tuesday of each week, but not befose. BRAINS REPAIRED, Polished an. Sharpened Expert. What ara brains mads of? AEbumea and delicate particles of phosphate of potash. Chemical examination of the perspiration and urine wHl determine the amount of recent brain work by the amount of phosphate of potash found, for these delicate particles are thrown out from brain and nerve centers during nervous activity, and find their way back to earth through pores, kidneys, bowels, etc There Is but one true way to repair the dally Ioases, and that way Is.

to furnish the body with food containing a sufficient amount of these two elements. When the brain Is not properly fed, the evidence Is shown by a gradual decrease In the mental and phyalcal powers of the body. A food expert of tbe Postum Cereal at Battle Creek. has prepared a crisp, dainty and delicious food for the express purpose of quickly and. surely rebuilding the brain and nerve centers, and has given It tne name of Grape-Nuts.

This food Is made by selecting the proper parta of grains and treating them by neat, moisture and. time in practically the aame manner nature does In the human 4xdy daring the first part of digestion. The result Is-that the finished food not only contains the needed elements for brain building; but they, are ready to be presented to Mother' Nature In such a shape that ahe quickly absorbs and uses them. The good, solid, substan tial results obtslned every. dayby people who use Grape-Nuta prove -the facts.

Tbe new food Is found In all first-class grocery stores, and Is one of the most toothsome and palatable novelties yet produced. In the way of requiring jio: cob king or preparation of any; hot, on tne contrary, it is ready for im mediate use and suited to the athlete. brain worker, epicure or Invalid. 7 -wr wr sv as Sent Here by the Enterprising1 United r. Steamship Company, Tlae Alabanaa Arriylna oa Her 4 Uatldem Trip Between Copes hagea and Kew Orleaas.

The port "of New' Orleans waa yeater-day afternoon honored by another visit from a new vessel, this time the Alabama, of the United Steamship Company, of Copenhagen. This company, which Is domiciled In Denmark, commenced business with the 'port of New Orleans hot a few years ago, and since that time they have sent snip after ship. to New Orleans, and the line received (as It well deserved) the patronage of shippers. They have built quite a number of new vessels, and the business of (he line la not only constantly r. growing, but has assumed enormous proportions.

i The Alabama bears a celebrated nam, that of th famoua old "290" the Privateer, which waa Instrumental In almost driving the American merchant marine from the seas. This Alabama, however. Instead of driving away: la destined to add to It, and New Orleans will derive the greatest benefit there from. This Alabama, like the old veaael which waa sunk oft Cherbourg, France, waa built In England. The vessel which arrived yesterday is a sister ship of the Texas, which but recently arrived in Npw York from Glaazow.

Scotland, on her maiden voyage, and la now about due at her home port, copennageu. The Alabama wss built by Charlea Connell of Glasgow, and Just twenty days ago left that port for ner maiaen trip to new uneius, aumm here yesterday afternoon, and is now nr. HtnTY.nnt docks, ready to receive cargo. The Alabama came in -bal last and made an average ox ten auu a half knots an hour during the entire trip. Captain Bognald (Joische waa In couimano, ana ne expressed iuiuku being delighted with tne manner in which the new ship behaved.

Captain Gotsche Is a skillful seaman and navigator, and he la Justly proud of the fine new vessel which has been placed under his command. The Alabama la 375 feet long and 50 feet beam, and was designed and. built expressly lor tne New urieana ana gun trade, bhe is equipped with triple expansion engines ana Is fitted ouc In a vtery neat and thoroughly modern manner. She waa built for the freight trade, and, for her size, has a great carrying capacity. Her registered tonnage Is 2twJ0 tons, and she has a capacity lor 7000 tons of freight.

She draws (when loaded) 23 feet 3 Inches of water, and carries a crew of thirty-five men, who are furnished with excellent quarters aboard tbe vessel. Her average speed is ten and a half knota an hour, and she Made the trip from Glasgow to New Orleans in twenty day a. The Alabama Is schooner-rigged and has four hatches, which are equipped with steam winches, hoisting cranes and derricks, to facilitate the handling of freight in the shortest possible time. The vessel had westerly winds during the first part of the voyage, but during the latter portion had fine weather, and her first trip was a very enjoyable one. The officers of the ship are: Captain, Bognald Gotsche; first officer.

Otto Mul-ler; second officer, H. Hammer; third officer. A. Toldberg; chief engineer, Christian Hansen; second engineer, Carl Jenssen; third engineer, C. Langkilde, and fourth engineer, C.

Thrane. The dimensions of the triple-expansion cylinders are respectively 25, 41 and 67 Inches diameter, with 48-inch stroke, and develop a horse- power of 2000, although throughout ner maiden trip only 1900-horse power were developed, as there was no desire to push the vessel. Two boilers furnish the steam necessary to supply these engines, and her daily coal consumption, maintaining a speed of 10.4 knots. Is thirty tons per day. The interior of the vessel Is finished in polished oak, with Buffalo hide upholstery.

All her accommodations are on top of the bridge deck, and they are very fine and complete. The offlcera quarters are large, roomy and comfortable, and are supplied with all modern conveniences. The electric light plant and fittings have not yet been placed in tne veaaeL.but these will be added as soon as she visits her home port for the first time, ana tnst win oe upon ner. return from New Orleans. The Alabama will take on board a cargo of grain and oil cake, and will complete loading at her present berth.

Tbe ship is the one hundred snd twenty-fourth vessel built for this company, for whom Messrs. Charles F. Orthweln Son are tbe agents In this city. The Alabama Is a very fine snip, and as freighter (for which purpose she was especially built) will have few equals and still fewer superiors. All the vessels of the line are kept In first-class order and are built for tne southern trade, hence are very comfortable ships.
