Uncle Sant Gray at frankfort. Speaking of the national convontion of horse thief detectives at Frankfort last week the News, of that city contains the following notice of Uncle Sant Cray:
Following the President "Sant" Gray, Grand Organizer of the Association, was introduced. "Father Gray," as he is affectionately called by his brother detectives, is 81 years of age. and helped to organize the first association at Waynetown 50 years ago, and has been in the harness ever since. "Uncle Sant'' tried to excuse himself from making a speech, but the audience wouldn't hear to it, and ho came forward. He had not proceeded far until ho had his hearers shouting with laughter, so bright and original did the old gentleman prove as a speaker, lie said that himself and neighbors were first impressed with the necessity for such an organization, by the acts of a fr^ng of cattle thieves who fiad their headquarters in Warren coun-. ty, near Red Wood, back in the forties. "In them days," said Uncle Sant, "if you had a fat cow or pig on your place, it wouldn't bo no timo until one of the fellows would come and drive it away. We would sometimos see them enter the pen and drive the stock away, follow them home and cause thoir arrest, but they would have no trouble to prove that they were in another part of the country that night, and the court would let them go free. We thon turned our attention to purjurers, and it was not long until it was more difficult for a thief to prove an alibi.'1 Mr. Gray is uu enthusiastic worker for the suppression of crime, and thinks that the National Detective Association will in time do the business. "I am old, and can't ride a horse, but a man is never too old to lay in the dogfennol and jimpson weeds and watch for thieves. I toll you I can lay thore as quiet and contented as a pet pig, and will be found willing to do so, until life's last hour. If there was not an organization closer than Columbus, O., you would find old Sant going there as old as he is, if he had to walk. You

The Theatre.
The usual packed house greeted Sadie IlasBon Sunday night at the Haymaket theater in a realistic melodrama of the fashionable type called "A Kentucky Girl." Thore is a working blacksmith shop in the first act, a sawmill interior in the second, with the heroine rescuing her lover from the buzz saw a la "Blue Jeans," and a handcar race with tho moonshiners in tho third act, all of which elicit tumultuous yells of applause. Tnere are specialties mixed up with the play in the current fashion, and, with the change from the border to the Kentucky hill country, the development of the play will remind tlay goers somewhat of tho once popular "M'liss." Miss Hasson is a clever "rough" soubrette, notablo for life aud energy.— Chicago Times, Sept. 13, '92. Music Hall, Oct. M.
A Moneymaker Missing.
Tuesday morning an alarm was sent in from Goose Nibble to tho police station to tho effect that one of tho flock of eight children belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Moneymaker had been ruthlessly kidnapped. When Officer Grimes arrived upon the scene there was great confusion. Mrs. JMoneymaker was crying and wringing her hands. She was satisfied the child had been stolen for she saw two big ugly men leave her yard with the kid and then drive rapidly away in a buggy. The officer didn't believe the story and after a short search he was rewarded by finding the lost child in the flour barrel.

Balhinch.
SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW :—. B. Arthur Bowen, author, actor and diplomat, was one day last week wandering in tho classic precincts of Balhinch, and very thoughtfully fell upon a watermelon patch. A large watermelon seemed to invito and with great eclat he stooped down and plucked tho lucious fruit.
John Lewallen had his other eye upon him and gazed at the rapidly retreating form of Bowen. A two six race began right then andjthere. Bub had the pole and also tho watermelon, while John had blood iu his oyo. On rushed the frantic racers, headed northward over hills and through swamps, breaking brush and pealing shins, over fences and logs. Time How but they How faster.
Bub had gained so rapidly that John lost ali hope and gave up tho chase. He was declared 6hut out, but Bub rushed on. Over tho fence at Capt. Tolbert's he loaped and started across a 'field to face anew contestant entering tho race injtho shape of an infuriated bull who twisted his tail, bowed low his hoad in respectjto tho worthy actor,andthen started in on a dead run. Bub now realized that it was a raco for blood and bent himself, hanging tightly to his melon. On came the bull and Bub gasped: "Our Father!" Still he clung to his melon. The bull gainod upon him and glancing back over his shoulder he whispered: "Now I lay me down to sleep." The bull rushed on. Space between the contestants was now very thin and hope was fast fading out. At length the bull made a spurt and Bub seeing all hope of saving the molon and his life in one invoice, dropped tho melon and shouted, 'On, my countryman on." Seeing no hope loft, Bub shot up a friendly tree, where he lodged in safety. The bull volunteered to stand guard, and tho worthy melon tiend is stil 1 perched upon tho branch, looking wistfully in the direction of the watermelon.

ENORMOUS C110WD
OVER 750,000 PERSONS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Recerd of the Turnstiles on ChlShow* that 783,040 I'eraona Fassed Inside tlie Ground*—The Day
Grand Success.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—The record of tho turnstiles shows that the attendance at the World's Fair yesterday was 753,057.
Did any one ever before see such a crowd? Did an equal number of peo}le ever before assemble within an nclosure and give a screaming plcturesqueness to an outdoor spectacle?
At times in the history of the World's Fair jubilees the attendance has massed into acre patches. Yesterday it became a level swarm, the dimensions of which could not be taken in any one view. Men with lunch baskets became as Hands of the ocean. Buildings were packed and lammed. The roadways were black with surging masses of good-natured men and women
The program, from the musio to the gunpowder, were but incidents of such a day. The Exposition itself became a mere stage setting, a sort of background for the people.
Every one was talking about the crowd and marveling at sights which are only possible when hundreds of thousands of men, women and children get together for a lawn party. He who waited an hour for a train rode in a scrambled cargo, stood in line with thousands of others, found himself buffeted and carried helplessly Vy the whirling currents of that mulVtude, concluded long before 8 o'clock that the attendance was at least a million and that if he lived to get home he would have something to tell his grandchildren. .Great are the people. They al-
Jpwed themselves to be battered and elbowed and shoved in the Bcrimmage, all for the good of the cause. The man who lost his hat and whose tender foot had been trampled upon, said "I'll tell you, this will beat Paris."
Beat it? More taian that Th« lecord of the Basis exhibition was simply wiped frcjp Rstory and at an early hour in the afternoon, when every train to Jackson park creaked on its axles and each street car was no street car at all. butfcimply a great ball of anxious people held together by •ome strange cohesion.
All roads led to the World's Fair and each man wanted to ride on the front seat of the front car. Failing in this he climbed on the cow-catcher or reelined on a truck or straddled a bumper. Persons living along th* Illinois Central railroad had seen loaded oars before yesterday, but they had never seen the passengers extending baok five or six feet from the rear of the last car. The only reasoa for their not falling off was that they desired to take part in the hurrah exercises of Chioago d.iy.
Chicago did its part The peaceful army which had moved its invading line through the city limits for three whele days did its part
The temporary city at Jackson park did its part All three were reinforced by weather which nearly attained perfection
If circumstances had been any more favorable no one can tell what might have happened.
Chicago invoked tho storm and found itself verv nearly swamped. There can be no denying that The tremendous movement of people in the streets, the joining of regiment after regiment at each corner until a huge army swept down toward the lake front and compressed itself into a slow blockade, made Chicago doubtful for a time as to whether it would find room for all the company it had invited. The trains or the parallel tracks dashed back and forth like the threads of a busy loom. A puffing train would slow up to a platform. In one rush it would be filled and away it would go. A second train rubbing close behind would jump into its place. Six tracks were kept warm, yet the viaduct to the platforms became choked by the arriving thousands and the waiting overflow settled far along Michigan avenue.
Oct ST. 1871, the people hurried through the streets moved by a common impulse, as they were yesterday. On that morning twenty-two years ago however, they were crowding to the Dare prairies north from the city to escape the scourges of the flames. Yesterday thfe movement of the populace was to the south. On the lake front where thousands of people in holiday attire crowded to the trains, another assemblage might hard been seen twenty-two years before, and that to tho very hour. The crowd, of 1871 was made up of homeless and destitute families, crouched in miaery before the blackenod ruins of the city. The people waiting for the trains Monday miarht have enjoyed some sentimental reflections of this kind if they had not been very busy keeping their places in the rush.
The scenes around the World's Fair gates, even from the earliest hours, were no less remarkable than those witnessed down town. At a ticket office one saw a waiting line at least a block long. The turn-stiles bnzzed ceaselessly.
From the roof of the manufactures building yesterday afternoon a smear of black covered the earth below. That was the heads of the Chica-. oday crowds. In the grand plaza, the roadways leading toward the plaisance, *he doorways of the great buildings to the west and on many of the bridges, the black spots were jumbled together in dense masses of irregular shapes, showing only a few touches of color, dribblimr off at the edges and threatening to dissolve, but not dissolviif^. These masses did not show boldly by contrast with the
reBt
of the
picture. They were simply the deeper shade, for everywhere, along the remotest by-waj's, between distant buildings as far as the eye could reach, fringing every lagoon and spilling on the green of every grass plat, was th* half-tone of the moving throng.
