Mr. Fare was born in SQiBeieetfcJEnglaad, and came to this country when twenty years of age. He settled in Fremont, Lake Co. and from that place came to MeHanrv in 1863. His mother, father and one brother rest in the cemetery at Freemont. Of a large family there is one sister living in England. He had been in ill health for two years and confined to his bed since December. Had he lived until Decem­ ber next he would have been seventy- one years old. Mr. Fare leaves. a wife and two daughters, Mrs. William Pha- len, of this village, and Mrs. Benj Ham­ lin, of Lake Villa. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. L.

He was laid to rest in Woodland cemetery. - Schubert Ladle*' Quartette. /A, large and appreciative audience greeted the Schubert Ladies' Quartette its appearance Monday evening. That the performance was thoroughly enjoyed was demonstrated by the fre­ quent encores the various members re­ ceived. Each number was excellently rendered and the encores most gracious­ ly responded to. We wish to especially mention the beautiful rendition of the popular ballad "My Old Kentucky Home." These talented ladies beside being the possessors of voices of great range and purity of tone are accomplished per­ formers on stringed instruments. Carl Hunter, the violin soloist of the company, is a thorough master of his art. Mr. Goodwall Dickerman, the mon- oluge impersonator, is the member of the company who provokes the laugh­ ter. His funny jokes are all of a harm­ less order and can be enjoyed by even the most fastidious. His impersona­ tion of "Grandma" was above crit­ icism. Too much praise cannot be given Prof. Angevine for his efEorts in secur­ ing this company. We are pleased to know that in the midst of his labors, he has found time to tutor the older as well as the younger members of McHenry's society. We hope as the winter pro­ gresses he will be able to secure many more high-class and pleasing entertain­ ers.

' That there are five thousand theaters in America and that one million and a half people attend them each week­ day night, spending seventy millions of dollars a year on theatre-going, are the surprising facts with which Mr. Frank­ lin Fyles, the dramatic editor of the New York Sun, will open an important series in the next issue of The Ladies' Home Journal. The series will be called "The Theatre and Its People," and will run through seven numbers of the magazine, lavishly illustrated with pictures made by twelve different art­ ists. The articles will treat of every phase of the theatre, the play -and the actor, from the inside, and will tell how a theater is managed, the actual money which plays have made; how an actor is trained and what the actors are act­ ually paid; how a play is written and what the authors receive, how a play is rehearsed, the first nignt of a play, how the actresses "make up" and what they use, and in a minute way the two last articles will show what goes on behind the scenes on the stage during a per­ formance. It is a curious fact that this will be the first time that the theatre and the actor have ever been ex­ haustively treated in a magazine, and that there is no book on the subject in existence. • " Bleventh Anniversary.

QAMB SEA8ON NOW OPEN* AliMM ttuwt Pay n Lleenae In the In Which They Hunt. Sportsmen are without a doubt busy cleaning up shot guns and hunting suits, for September 1, the game season open­ ed. Unless he crosses the boundary of the commonwealth the hunter may shoot no pheasant, chucker or black India partridges or sand grouse. The last legislature passed a new law pro­ tecting these birds for a period erf five yeats. Still there are ducks, plovers, snipes prairie chickens, wild geese and guinea hens and November 1, quail ^frill be in season. These are reserved for Illinoia- ians, as no alien, Wftjpss pays $10 for a license, may spoil good ammunition for wing shot or pot. Another feature of the new law and the one which calls forth opposition is the provision that no more than twenty-five birds of game may be removed from any county by an individual hunter. Each year finds IUinoii game scarcer than the year before, hence the law-. makers at the behest of various clubs took action looking to the multiplying of the various species of fowl. The prairie chicken is the first and favorite object of the hunter when the season dpens. There is a comparative abundance of this class of game in Ill­ inois. Following is a summary of the Illinois game law provisions: Deer, Mongolian, Japanese, English, copper or scholmeringorn, Trapagan, silver and golden pheasants, chucker, partridge and sand grouse and black India partridges protected untill 1904. Ruffied grouse (partridges), pinnated grouse (prairie chickens), September 1 to October 1. Quails, November 1 to December 20. Woodcocks, doves, Sep­ tember 1 to December 1. Squirrels, September 1 to December 15. Snipe, plovers, geese, ducks, bruits, or other water fowl, September 1 to April 15. No close season on fish, but hook and line fishing only allowed. Non-residents must procure license, fee $10 per county; licensee permitted to take out of styte not more than twenty-five birds of all kinds killed by himself, to be carried openly. Prohibitions: Exportation, trespass, night shooting, use of other than shoulder gun, sale of game killed in state, transportation of game except when accompanied by" person kilting game, artificial blinds or devices, poll­ ution of streams. Sportsmen take a gloomy view of the future, despite the effort of law-makers. A well known devotee said recently: "In a few years game in all the terri­ tory around this part of the country will be practically extinct, Even now the birds are so rare that twenty hunt ers may be found for every feathered biped. This state of affairs is due alto­ gether to the violation of the laws and the ruthless slaughter that is carried on in season and out by' men who ought to know better. It is difficult to detect these fellows and the organized assist­ ance given the state authorities by sportmen's clubs and associations does not master the evil. There seems to be no hope of preventing the slow hut sure work of destruction." is elegance in itself. Chi the west are three sleeping rooms.

There are chests of drawers, flour bins, china closet, porcelain-lined sink, hot and cold water and all the up to date appoint­ ments of the modern kitchen. In the basement are the furnace, coal bins and store room for vegetables. To Father O'Neill belongs the honor of the architect, as it was MB brain planned it all. The ideas so beautifully moulded were faultlessly executed by onr popular contractor, Peter B. Freund. The plumbing, so important a factor in every house, was done by Wm- Bonslett- who is a thorough workman. As a result of Father O'Neill's ideas the house stands an ornament to Mc­ Henry and a credit to the workmen. Father O'Neill will be 'Igl after this week. Transplanting a Northfleld Conference. The latest enterprise of lb. D. L Moody is the proposed reproduction of the largest Northfield Conference in Chicago next month. The August Bible Conference at Northfield this year, as conceded by all who attended, was the best ever held there. It had the greatest attendance and the most deep and scriptural teach­ ing; especially is it said that the number of ministers present exceeded that of any previous season. Mr. Moody's plan is, now, at^ far ae possible, to bold a similar Convention in Chicago during the first part of October, beginning with the first Sunday in the month, The principal speakers an­ nounced are the Rev. G. Campbell Mor­ gan, of London, whose preaching and teaching at Northfield has increased in popularity: the Rev. J. Wilbura Chap­ man, D. D., of New York, a leader in the Winona movement and prominent elsewhere in evangelistic work, the Rev. R. A. Torrey, Supt. of the Bible Insti­ tute; Prof. W. W. White, of inter­ national renown as a Bible teacher, and Mr. W. R. Newell, the leader of the Moody Bible classes held in Chicago for the past two Winters. Mr. Moody, of course, will be present also.

Lord Charles Beres- ford, in his "Break Up of China," says that he found American locomotives on Chinese railways where he expected to find English locomotives, It was ex­ plained to him that on urgent orders the Americans were always ahead, and whether their locomotives, or stationary engines, or their electrical engines were better than others or not they secured contracts through promptness in manu­ facture and delivery. Of course, the British government or in a city like Glasgow would naturally be disposed to favor English manu­ facturers and contractors. The fact that heavy contracts have been awarded in the face of national sentiment and prejudice, not only by private in­ dividuals, but by public Officials, sig­ nifies much. It showB that American manufacturers are not only turning out products that can stand test in all parts of the world, but also, through energy, enterprise, and promptness, are com­ peting successfully with foreign manu­ facturers on their own ground. This ability is to play a most import­ ant part in capturing and controlling the trade of the great Pacific area. If the present American policy is carried out, and if advantage is taken of op­ portunities that have been opened tons American manufacturers will be first in the field, and they will hold the ter­ ritory. They will be the better able to do this because, as Count von Gienath of Germany said in Ml interview on Friday, the workmen here are superior to the workmen in Germany or any other European country. This state­ ment comes from one interested in Ger man foundries and steel works who has been impressed by the high quality of articles manufactured in the United States. This superiority, he at first thought, was due to the use of better machinery in the steel works, but after investigation he found that much of it is owing to the high quality of Amer­ ican labor. With such assurances from foreigners, who are not now and never have been biased in our favor, it is not surprising to observe how, month by month, our industries are pushing their way in the markets of the world.
