NIAGARA BY MOONLIGHT. “Ii Niagara Falls by mid-day is of surpassing beauty, the picture by night is supernal in its weird and fascinating splendor. In the fore- ground, thrown into the deepest shadow by the moon, are the rocks, black as midnight in their contour. Beyond them. like ghosts, are the mists of the Falls. that rise. in spec- tacular shapes and hover over the agitated waters like silver notes in the nmnnheams. The green and violet and whitt- of the waters by day are turnvd into bronze and silver by night.

There are others, also in town, who will probably enter, but have been a little diffident about tak- ing the plunge. To all such The Free Press extends a cordial invitation. “Come in and win."

This plan is equally fair to all contestants. where it is fully understood by all. To restrict a candidate to soliciting subscriptions in her own district only. would work a grave injustice if she happened to reside in a less thickly populated, outlying district.
