One of the pleasantest and most successful openings which have occurred in this city in a jong time was that which marked Thursday Jast for its own. On that day the magnitfi- cent new store of UC. A. Coutant & Co., at No. 145 State street, was inaugurated. There was no formal opening, but, the iain store being ready, the doors were thrown open for business, and all day long a ceaseless tide of customers passed. in and gut. All expressed. themselves as extremely pleased with the elegancies to be found in this beautiful new magazine of fashion, which certainly prom- ises to hold from the start a leading place in the ranks of Chicago's fancy stores. ‘The new store is of tine proportions and is beautifully fitted up throughout. Only the lower floor was thrown open, but this alone was sufficient to attract an. im- mense crowd, and the number of visitors was estimated at about 10,000. The first feature of attraction was the im- mense case containing ribbons, feathers, silks, and flowers, which occupied the post of honor at the door. The windows were magnificently dressed. In the southern one a splendid stock of parasols and fans with drapings of the finest lace drew attention. The northern window was ablaze with feathers, flowers, and millinery goods, The interior’ arrangements comprise double counters runnmg the whole depth of the building, with a grand central counter in the form of an ellipse. a Beginning on the south side at the front, the departments range in order as follows: Laces and edgings, handkerchiefs, ladies’ furnishing Foods, corsets, and underwear, Jadies’ and children’s hosiery, of which there was a splendid display, and gentlemen's furnishing goods. On the corresponding side come the departments devoted to gloves, ribbons, and silks. ‘Toward the rear on ither side are the departments reserved to flowers, feathers, and hats and bonnets. trimmed and untriimed. The central counter formed the leading feature. 1n the front was found the jewelry, bracelets and lighter notions. To the right on entering were the fans, parasols, sn pocketbooks, to each vt which a department was given. The entire rear division of this counier was devoted to perfumery. ‘The system here is unique. Great bottles of es- Sences and perfumes were ranged along the counter and all could. test tor themselves be- fore purchasing. A handsome fountain showering perfume -was greatly admired, ‘The opening was a most successful one, and Coutant’s new store will form the goal of - -many a pilgrimage by the ladies during the coming year.

Itwas a case of “dog in the light, cat in the shadder, dog full of fight, cat growing madder.” Pretty soon the dog upset the barrel and swent' in atter the cat. But it was a surprise party for him. The phosphorus glowed in the darkness, and he beheld a cat of fire.

J. Lehmani’s gigantic enterprise, known to the entire Northwest as ‘S ‘The Fair.” Start- ing in 1875 with one small store stocked (with notions, Mr. Lehann controls to-day one of the most comprehensive and best-fitted stores in the world, Anarmy of over three hundred clerks and employés are required to attend to the wants of custumers at “ The Fair.’” ‘The buildings extend from State to Dear- born street, and include ‘the entire Adams- street front, rynning back to the alley. Special mention is made of this great enter- prise at this time because to-morrow the will be inaugurated a new and interesting feature in the immense ampitheatre, cover- ing 10,000 square feet of surface, which is to be thrown open free to the public. At 2 o’clock® to-morrow afternoon, and thereafter from 2to 6 p. um. each day, a grand eoneert will be given by 2 select orchestra of twenty-five members, under the direction of Prof. Uenry Doehne. The public are invited to visit “The Fair” and note for themselves its progress and the ceaseless him of industry which arises there. The new_ building is 100 feet each way. and 60 feetin hight. The space thus acquired is absolutely needed for the extension and development of the depart- ments now in existence. ‘There are now eonnected with “The Fair nearly thirty distinct stores, The ir goods handled in these departinents com- pr e everything which can be mentioned. There are stores for the sule of linens, rib- gloves, gents’ furnishing goods, st albums and frames, candies, kers’ articles, musical instruments, silver aud plated ware, toys, hair and leather gouds, optical goods, jewelry, tinware, hard- ware, crockery, brushes, ware, wood and willow ware, lamps, Hinery, pictures and frames, trunks and vatises, clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps, baskets, majolica ware and bric-a-brae, books, perfumeries and druggists’ sundries, nese zouds, and novelties of a thousand nds, ‘Iaeach of those particularized an entire department is devoted, and there are dition, ‘Chere are twenty-five ranees and exits on State, Adams, ‘born streets, aurant, ladies’ and gentlemen's cates, ice-cream. parlors, and waiting-rooms form features of this busy hive of industry. There is a bakery and sontuctionery estab- lishment conneeted, so that ladies shopping can get their meals and enjoy their rest as pleasantly as in their own homes. A sum- mer garden with chairs and tables, the whole roofed m with canvas, will extend over the greater part of the roof, and afford a splendid opportunity during the heate:t term to enjoy’ rhe cooling breezes for which Chicago is ‘amed. ‘Mr. Lehmann buys and sells for cash and this is the seeret of his success, Ife has built up ina few years an extraordinary and wn- precedented” business, simply by _ selling cheaper than any other house and yet main- tained the quality of his goods, The ent- ployés of “The Fair are under the strictest instructions to give the vurchaser the truth about every article offered for, sale. ‘The system of management and discipline of the employés is the best that can- possibly be devised. ‘There is no such place in Chieago for bargains, the reason being that Lehmann buys at forced sales, having ex- perienced agents constantly on the w teh for first-class goods which must be of. These goods are marked away down, the sinailest possible margin of profit being added to cover expense of handling. There is nota novelty, Iuxury, or necessary of life but can be found at this great emporium of trade, and the publie recognize that fact and crowd the place all any: f “The Fair” recognizes no competition in itsline. At this great store more goods are disposed of every day than many dealers carry for their entire stock in trade. Every week some new department isadded or some extensions made to those in existence. 4 store is already the largest, lightest, best-ar- ranged, and best-manag world, and with the additions to be made to- morrow it will stand preciminent above all rivals. It is located in the very heart of the retail business centre. Space would fail to give even a faint idea of the immense variety of goods in this great institution. It is only by a personal visit that Chicagoans and visit- ors can ascertain for themselves just what “The Fair” actually offers, and in making their purchases they ean emphatical- ly rely upon the fact that the goods sold are as represented. Al! the stores are on the first floor, so that no weary climbing of steps or waiting for elevators is necessary, and Duyers can find without the trouble of mov- ing further than from one department to another every article of which they have need. The new stock offered forsale to- morrow will include many important novel ties in all departments and a special display of useful and ornamental articles such as have never been shown before. - ‘The iinmense_amphitheatre in all its beau- ty, containing fountains, tropica and native plants and flowers, and a prome: ade garden, will be first shown, ‘The grand concert be- gins at 2p. m., and lasts until Go’elock, fur- nishing free entertainment to all, ‘This will be repeated every day during the week. Ladies and gentlemen will find the catés, restaurant, Ice-cream parlors, and lunch- rooms the perfection of their kind, and there isno better place in the city in which to spend a pleasant hour after shopping is ended. _—<——>_—— A BAD HORSE. One of the horses attnched to Forepaugh’s circus made great deal of trouble during the present week by manifesting a desire to occupy both rings at onee. Several times during the week the animal made a bad break, and it is a littte curious that the manager of the show yesterday permitted seats to be. piteed ‘in. the space between _ the two rtngs. directly inthe path which the frac- uous horse generally crosses from one ring to the other. At the matinée yesterday the horse bounded right into the midst. of a party com- posed in great part of women and ebildren, and itis a great wonder that some one was not Killed Outright. As it was, a little girl was quite badly bruised, and several other persons were badly frightened. ——_— BUSINESS NOTICES, Arend Kumyss—Prof. E, M. Hale in a communication to THE TRIBUNE Says? “Kumyss should be the reliance of the phy- sician in all those cases of debility in Which prompt iinprovement of the gener! tone is imperative. Kumy'ss is the blandest and most easily digested food, and as such the best nour- ishment fora w Stomach: at the same thc, through the process of | fermentation which Kumgss underzoes, medieinal qualities are de- veloped which ‘ainty look for in materia medics. In nausea, vomiting, extreme cuses of iy a, Kumpss acts like a charm, promptly relieving ‘tll the distressing symptoms of such cases, When the stomach rejects all else, Kumyss is retained and assiinilated, affording: the patient nourlsitment, strength, and comfort, and, as a logical consequence, nervous- ness ceases and refreshing sleep follows. In se intermittent, gastric, — and typhoid fever, 1 prefer Kumyss as the exclus- tve dict. It satisfles thirst aud hunger and aliass ihe fever. Kumyss bas considerably the ad- Vantage over drugs, in that it never ean do arm. ‘To dose an frritable stomach with drugs isan absurdity which no intellisent physician attempts in this day. But not only in extreme cases shoutd Kumyss be resorted to: it should be the chief remedy for a weak stomach under all circumstances. dyspeptic prain-worker with a few glasses of Kumyssa day will improve hig digestion and his nerve Torce. Laiies would be less nervous, more vigorous, and healthier- looking if they would add to their daily diet a few glisses of Kumyss.” | ponte for treatise on Kumyss, Beware of imi- tions. ‘Arend’s Kumyss is not sold to the trade, but to consurners only.

Mott's Malt Extract—Strength for in- valids.—The writer of this paragraph bas within his own personal knowledge a case in which a lady who bas been an invalid for many yenrs his received immediate and most won- derful benelir from using Malt Extract, Ins decd, the return of tone to the stomuch and digestive organs, of strength to the frame, and buoyancy and cheerfulness to the mind bas been s0 rapid and complete that the ‘whole thing has almost the nir of magic. The Extract was in this case strongly recommended by the fam- ily physician, a man of great experience and distinguished prudence, and be urged the in- yalid to persevere in taking it, even if it should he at first somewhat ditlicult of assimilation. ‘This advice the invalid followed with the result above described. The genuine Hoff’s Malt Ex- tract is imported and sold by Messrs. Tar- rant & Company, than whom no house in {he country is, better Known or more trust- worthy, and their name is upon every bottle.— Boston Courter.
