Chicago was visited fet 5:30 this afternoon by the most terrific storm it has experienced for several years. The wind blew almost a hurricane and the rain fell in torrents. The earlier part of the day was well nigh perfect, cloudless and with a cool gentle fcreeze blowing off Lake Michigan. The storm gathered in the north and northwest with marvelous quickness. Nobody was looking for it. All at once It was here and the next minute it was ewooping over the city, leveling trees and spreading death and destruction among the many pleasure boats which were out upon Lake Michigan. Owing to the beautiful weather during the morning these wore more numerous than Usual. Many narrow escape? were experienced l)Ut so far as known the loss of life is limited to four, all of them lst by the capsizing of the sailing yacht Chesapeake, which was overturned about two tnlles from shore. The party on the boat consisted of nine people and of these four were drowned. The dt-ad are: ETHEL CHASE, sixteen years old, of Dos ton. HARRY MARLOW. . WILLIAM CORNICE. THEMISTOCLES TIMKALI3. Th'jse who were rescued are: (JEORGE GRAY. : EDITH CKAMPTON. "WILLIAM AVERY. FRED AVERY. WILLIAM ELLIOT. The Chesapeake was a well-built yacht End was owned by the Avery brothers. The party hud been, during the afternoon, enjoying the pleasant sailing. The Buddon fury of the storm gave them no chance and they were in the water before the men of the party, several of whom were skillful sailors, could do anything to prevent it. Gray, Fred Avery and Elliott clung to the side of the boat and managed to keep their heads out of the water. Will Avery was hurled nearly fifteen feet from the boat and went down head fore most. Near him was Edith Cramptonand, as Avery rose, he seized her and ewam to the boat. Capt. McRa of the Bteam tug Robert Torrent, which was In the harbor, saw the Chesapeake capelze and went to its assistance. He reached it In time to rescue the Avery brothers. Gray, Ellott and Miss Crampton. The bodies of the others were not recovered. Miss Chase was employed by the Western Union telegraph company of this city, and her parents reBide in Ioston. "William Avery'a Story. . William Avery, Jr., "the captain of the yacht, said: ' "We were between seven and eight miles out when the storm began to gather, and as we headed for shore we .were carried along at lightning speed. It was a wild ride, but I felt that we would make it in safety. But all in an Instant the boat went over. She turned over three times and then floated away, roasts downward. Miss Chase was caught in the rigging, and I tried to eave her, but she was carried under the boat and swept away before I could reach her. I did not see her after she had gone down. Miss Crampton was near me and I swam with her to the boat. On my way I saw Gray and also ftsslsted him there. We were in the water two hours before aid reached us, end many times I thought I would be compelled to either drop Miss Crampton or sink myself. "' The rescue of the Chesapeake party as the second achievement of the tug Torrent during the storm. Only a few tninutes before it started on that errand It had picked up four young men who had tried to cross the harbor from the government pier, where they had been fishing. The wind turned their row boat upside downin less than a second, but they were all rescued after being onethird drowned and one-third frightened to death. Other tugs in the harbor were busy for a time in picking up row boats. and no less than six people were saved In the harbor alone, but no lives were lost Charles Saunders of St Louis started out for a boat ride and hung to the bottom of his boat for forty minutes before he was rescued more dead than alive. The yacht .Flora, .with a large party on board, lost her masts off Evanston, but her passengers were taken off by the Evanston life savlncrew. At the world's fair grounds little damage was done to the buildings, but the passengers wb'- were aloft In the captive balloon had a close call and the balloon Itself after being brought to earth was blown Into pieces and the pieces wer carried out of the grounds. All day the balloon had been busy making ascensions. Each time the huge body started skyward the basket was filled. There was no wind to interfere. nd it rota

straight up each time. When the limit of height had been reached on the last ascentlon Capt. Aller noticed away over the smoke of the city a black, moving body. It was coming toward him. Picking up his field glasses he saw a great angry bank of clouds preceded by low, scudding vapor. Instantly he seized the signal flag. Leaning over the edge of the basket he signaled the lookout to draw in rapidly. Down came the balloon and none too soon. The storm which hung low traversed the distance in a twinkling. With a crash and roar it'ft.shed through the trees of South park. As the basket touched the ground, the passengers were let out and as the last anchor was made fast, the wind struck it. The big balloon stands sixty feet from the ground. When the first gust struck it, in spite of guy ropes it bent over. The 150,000

cubic feet of gas were but a speck in the gale. Then in an instant the wind seemed to shift and bore down on the great body. It flattened out and shook and trembled under the terrible force like a jelly. With a succession of cracks, the giant silk covering was rent completely in two. The strong cordage which had covered the silk with a net work snapped as though It had been pack-thread. One-half blew one way and half another. It all happened so suddenly that no one had time to think. The loss Is about $35.000. The police at South Chicago were notified late tonight that during the storm three young men were seen struggling in the lake off the south end of the city. It Is believed they were drowned, but who they were Is not known. If the fears regarding the Sea Gull sloop prove to be well founded, it is believed that when the fatalities are footed up the total will be twenty or more. The Sea Gall Mls-tintf. It was reported late tonight that the sloop Sea Gul was missing. She had on board on leaving the dock ton people, of whom only two are known. They are Henry Sherwood and Annie Murphy. The sloop was seen Just before the storm and nothing has been heard of her since. MR. CLEVELAND IMPROVES Tin: rminET si.oavly recoverIU FROM THE UilEl ".M.VTISM. AHorney-Generjil and Mrw. Olney Call at Gray Gable Secretary I.amont and Dr. IlrjniU Go lius Fishlutf at White Inland Lake. BUZZARDS HAY. July C A call Just made at Gray Gables reveals the fact that the president is confined to his room. Col. D. S. Lamont says Mr. Cleveland has an attack of rheumatism in his foot and knee, a complaint from which he has suffered for many years and which is no doubt aggravated by this time by the hard work and severe strain which the president has undergone since the 4th of March. The trouble has been hanging atx ut him for some weeks, but has now so much increased in severity that he will be compelled to take absolute rest in order that he may be at his post of duty at the special meeting of congress next month. It will be necessary for the president to deny himself to visitors for the present, and his friends will, of course, observe his request that he be permitted to get all possible benefit from his vacation. A similar attack confined him to the house here about a fortnight this time last year. Surgeon-General Bryant is in attendance upon Mr. Cleveland. The yacht Oneida sailed this forenoon. BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., July 7. President Cleveland Is tonight feeling slightly better than he did this morning. His knee is lame and his left foot swollen so that he is obliged to wear a big shoe. He spent the greater part of the day playing checkers with Mrs. Cleveland and enjoying the beautiful weather. The published report that the president is suffering with cancer Is denied. Dr. Bryant says the president Is absolutely free from cancer or malignant growth of any description, that the report Is absolutely false, no Operation has been performed except that a bad tooth was extracted, something which is likely to happen to anyone. Col. Lamont says no interview was sent out last night. Dr. Bryant is of the opinion that the president will be able to go out in a day or two and is desirous for him to take a sail on the bay tomorrow, but the chances of his going are very doubtful. ; The following was sent from Buzzard's Bay tonight: "Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State, Washington. D. C: "The president is laid up with rheumatism in his knee and foot and will be out in a day or two. There Is no occasion for any uneasiness. "DANIEL S. LAMONT." The president sent this message tonight: "Mrs. Samuel Blatchford, Newport: "Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and condolence on the death of your distinguished husband, whose long and honored public service causes a nation to mourn his loss. "G ROVER CLEVELAND." Joseph Jefferson Calla. BUZZARD'S BAY. Mass., July 7. Joseph Jefferson called on President Cleveland this forenoon. He said later that he found him much Improved In general health and very cheerful. "Ills Illness is not of a serious nature," he said, "nothing but a slight attack of rheumatism from which, with the needed rest, he will recover in a few days."

It was early in the day President Cleveland was up and dressed, but had not been out on the veranda, "He sat there a short time yesterday," said Mr. Jefferson, "and will go out again today if this beautiful weather continues." Mr. Jefferson is the first and only caller Mr. Cleveland has had since his arrival. "Mr. Cleveland did not come to his summer home," said the veteran actor. "to continue his public business or to entertain visitors, and I know his friends will allow him his much-needed rest." It has been the custom of President Cleveland and Mr. Jefferson to go on fishing trips to Mashpee for several seasons past, but the actor stated that he w- very busy formulating plans for hit new home, and he thought it was doubtful if either he or the president would be able to spare the time necessary to enjoy such a trip. DUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., July 9. Mr. Cleveland is slowly recovering from rheumatism, which has caused him so much trouble, and which has been used as the basis for alarming rumors concerning his health. Dr. Bryan, who is still In attendance at Gray Gables, and Col. Lamont, who acts as Mr. Cleveland's mouthpiece, both say that there is nothing the matter with Mr. Cleveland except rheumatism, and that Is yielding to treatment. Mr. Cleveland still denies himself to callers. He made an exception, however, in- the case cf Joe Jefferson yesterday, and today he saw U. S. Attorney Gen. Olney and Mrs. Olney. They were on their way from Boston to their country place at Falmouth, which is about twenty miles further out on the cape. They stopped over at Buzzard's Bay and were driven to Gray Gables. When they left Mr. Olney said that the president would De out in a day or two, and that there was no reason for uneasiness about his condition. He Faid his visit was not on official business and not due to the president's illness. He called to Invite the president to go bluotirhing with him next week. Mr. Cleveland passed most of the day out on the broad piazza, where a stiff breeze from the bay was blowing. Col. Lamont and Dr. Bryant went bass fishiiijr in White Island lake, about six miles back in the country. They started at 10 o'clock and returned at 4 o'clock. Mr. Cleveland said that he wished his foot was a little better so that he could have gone with them. Late this afternoon the president's sister, Mrs. W. T. Hoyt of Beatrice, Neb., cn-rived. It was stated at the house that Mrs. Hoyt was not summoned on account of Mr. Cleveland's illness, and that she knew nothing of it until her arrival. She came East on a visit and will remain at Gray Gables several days. Col. Lamont said this evening that Mr. Cleveland continues to improve and that his illness has been made to appear more serious than It is. The president is no longer confined to his room. He walks about the house and the piazza, although his left foot and ankle are still swollen. He is taking a good rest and has issued a positive order that no callers be admitted. Several residents of near-by villages have called to p;iy their respects, but aside from the Olneys and Joe Jefferson no one has been admitted. BUSIXESS SHOWS IMPROVEMENT. netter Distribution of Gooda The Trade of Ihe Week.

NEW YORK, July 7. It. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly review of trade will say: "The tone In bi siness circles has perceptibly Improved. On the whole, there has been a little better distribution of goods to consumers, and perhaps the country orders given some months ago were not quite as frequent as last week. The more hopeful symptoms are gladly noted, but while the causes of depression ren.ain It would be rash to calculate that difficulties will not reappear. Soon large sums of money will be required to move tne crop, and In the present state of money markets some stringency is not Improbable. Boston reports a little more activity, and financial relief is expected during the month. Shoe factories are generally closed for repairs, and not many buyers are seen, leather being dull and accumulating. Rubber goods quiet, and crude rubber lower. Dry goods are quiet, but prospects thought favorable. Cotton mills hold small stocks, but print cloths . are dull and lower. Woolens are quiet. Money has grown' easier, but it Is still hard at most points to get accommodations, as banks ere preparing for larger demands. Foreign trade shows little change, exports being much below last year's and imports quite large." Bradstreet's weekly state of trade embodies the following: "While trade has been restricted by a holiday, in some lines by two holidays, there have been reactions in prices of a unmber of staples which had been declining. Wheat has advanced 2 on rumors of damage to the crop and continued large exports, and corn and oats June bank clearings at fiftyfive cities aggregated $4,521,000,000, or 8 per cent, less than last year, a smaller June total than since 1SS8, except in 1891. Bank clearings at fifty-five cities for six months, $31.012,000. a fraction of 1 per cent, less that In the first half of 1892, 15 per cent, more than in 1S91, but about 4 per cent, decrease as compared with the like portion of 1890. Among western and northwestern cities there is practically no change to record either In the commercial or financial situation, except at Omaha, where the change is the reverse of improvement, and at St. Louis, where there is actually said to be an increase in the volume of business compared with the week in July last year. San Francisco banks are making loans a little more freely, and the volume of July trade is said to have Improved somewhat. At other points on the Tacific coast, however, there are no marked gains in the commercial or financial situation." The business of the banks for the past week shows clearings as follows: New York, $204,451,218, a decrease of 5.7 per cent.; cities excluding New York. $448,921.164, a decrease of 11.6 per cent; for Indianapolis, $4,468,69. netter Feeling In New York. NEW YORK, July 7. Money, was weak at 67 per cent, on call until after midday, when there was an advance to 809. A more ?onfident tone prevailed In banking circles, and the inquiries for commercial papr are increasing. Some of the banks wfcieh have been out of the market for eome time yesterday discounted some paper, for a railway company as low as 7 per cent. Time money is 6 per cent. bid. Shortly after midday it was announced that the loan committee of the clearing house had Issued 600,000 new certificates, making the total to date $22.515,000. This was quite a surprise, as It was generally believed that no more certificate would beissued V.

WHO WILL-SUCCEED

To the Vacancy on tho U. S, Supreme. Bench? Speculation as to Blatchford's Successor. MAY COME FROM GOTHAM. Messrs. Coudert and Carter Are Talked of, And Ex-Minister Phelpe Is Also Considered. A Belief That Secretary Gresham Would Aceept the DUtlnfrafahed Honor A Washington Paper Proposes the Name of Ex-Prealdent Harrlaon Other Eminent Men Who Are Spoken Of. , NEW YORK, July 8. Through the death of Associate Justice Blatchford, of the United States supreme court. President Cleveland now has at his disposal another honorable office as a reward for some member of his party. The fact that Judge Blatchford was the sole representative of New York upon the supreme court bench makes, It Is thought here, almost certain that his successor will be taken from this state. When President Cleveland held the choice of a chief justiceship In his first term Frederick R. Coudert was frequently suggested. It Is doubtful whether Mr. Coudert would care to become an associate Justice. Judge Rufus W. Peckham of the court of appeals is also a possibility, and his brother. Wheeler H. Peckham, Is another. President Cleveland, however, is Just as likely to pick out some man whom no one else would think about. U. S. Judge E. Henry Lacombe, who was appointed by Mr. Cleveland, may be fortunate enough to receive the promotion. Judge Lacombe was formerly corporation counsel for this city. The possibility of Secretary Gresham being named for the vacancy is canvassed here, but it is urged here that the temper of the democratic majority in the senate is hardly favorable to Oresham. Don M. Dickinson is thought to desire a Justice's robe, and it Is believed that the president thinks kindly of the ambition. Gresham and Dickinson probably will be obliged to wait for future vacancies. The bar association never suggests a name for appointment to any position and it will not break this rule in the appoinment of Justice Blatchford's successor. SPECILATIOX AT WASniXGTOX. The Star InggeiU the Name of KxPreaident llarrlaon. WASHINGTON, July 8. The circuit from which the late Associate Justice Blatchford was appointed to the supreme court ccntalns the districts of northern, southern and eastern New York, Vermont and Connecticut, and contains so many lawyers of eminence that President Cleveland lr. likely to be embarrassed in choosing from them a successor to th-ik dead Jirist. Among those whose nsrAare suggested Mr. E. J. Phelps of yf t is iund, almost as a matter off"S..?'.WCWi nit. in the profession and his servicef ui diplomacy and Jurisprudence make r.im a prominent candidate In the public mind. Mr. Phelps is at present engaged as senior counsel for the United States In the closing argument before the Bering sea tribunal of arbitration at Paris. He has been IT. S. minister to Great Britain by Mr. Cleveland's appointment and has served a term as president of the National bar association. Mr. Phelps Is also dean of the Yale law school, and one of the leading lecturers in that institution. Other names from New York are those of James C. Carter, who, according to rumor, was offered the post of chief justice after the death of Chief Justice Waite by President Cleveland and declined the position. Connecticut possesses a possibility in the person of Mr. Carlos French, but his advanced years are belie ved to be a bar against the probability of his appointment, i The names of both Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle are mentioned, but though no official statement has been authorized. It can be stated with confidence that the place will not be offered to either of these gentlemen. The Star has this suggestion: ''Now is the time for President Cleveland to upset another party tradition and set a new political precedent by appointing ex-President Harrison to the vacancy on the supreme bench." The supreme court will not meet until the second Monday in October, so that the president will have three full months In which to make up his mind and can then have an associate Justice nominated and confirmed by the senate In extra session and ready to take his place when the court meets. Of the remaining members of the supreme court, but two have been on the bench longer than twelve years Messrs. Field and Harlan. They were appointed respectively In 1863 and 1877. The officials of the supreme court now in the city have been advised that the funeral of the late associate Justice will take place in Newport on Tuesday next. The place of Interment Is not known to them. The chief justice and assistant Justices (except Justice Harlan, who is in Paris, one of the Bering sea arbitrators) have been requested to act aa pall-bearers. All of them will probably be present, save Justice Field, who is at present in Michigan. CAl'UIIT OX A TRESTLE. One Doy Killed and Another Fatally Injured ly n. Train. POTTSVILLE.

GETS INSPIRATION ATHOME SECRETARY GRESHAM FAIRLY WORSHIPS HIS AGED MOTHKllAnd His Visit to the Cony Little Cottage in Harrison Connty Are Moat Prqnnt Interesting Facta Regarding the Gresham Family and Its History. To the Editor Sir: My family recently had a reunion at the old home of Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham, in Harrison county, Indiana, and being fresh from the scenes of this most distinguished citizen's early life, I have been requested to write something of him and his family. I speak advisedly in using the term "most distinguished citizen," for without 'disparagement to Indiana's many noble men. we can truthfully say that he is the most renowned native Indianian the state has ever produced. He was born in a log cabin on a farm which adjoins the little town of Lanesville. The town i3 located among the hills on the New Albany and Corydon pike, ten miles west of New Albany, and is noted for Its line catholc church, one of the finest in Indiana, which stands on a hill 200 feet above the town. His mother was eighty-five years of age on the 5th of last September, and lives in a neat and well-furnished frame eottag-e, which stands on 4he site formerly occupied by the cabin in which the secretary was born. We called on her and were received In a most cordial manner. For a lady of such advanced age she is remarkably active and alert, walking into the room with a firm step and recognizing the writer at once, whom she had not seen for twenty years. Conspicuous on the wall was an enlarged photograph of the secretary, neatly framed, and near it another, that of William Gresham, only living brother of the secretary, who Is an at torney at btillwater, Minn. On the center table lay a Chicago Palmer house bill of fare. Indicating that the secretary had recently visited his mother, a thing he often does. 'But." said the old lady, with a tinge of sadness in her voice, "William never comes home." The secretary has three sisters, all re siding near the old hdniestead. A brother, Col. B. Q. A. Gresham, who was a valiant soldier and lieutenant-colonel of the Third Indiana cavalry, died only recently at his home near Lanesville. The father of the secretary, in early days, was sheriff of Harrison county, and while attempting to arrest a criminal, was shot and killed. He was warned of the desperate character of the man, but would not believe him dan gerous. Thus, in early boyhood, the secretary's father was taken from him. But he had the instruction and guiding care of a mother of unusual intelligence and great force of character. She has watched, with becoming pride, her son's illustrious career, and when she points to the picture on the wall and says. "Walter visits me orten, one cannot but think that here Is the spring from which Indi ana s greatest son drinks inspiration. Previous to the war the secretary took a two years' law course In the state uni versity, beginning the practice in his native county. Soon thereafter he was elected to the state legislature, but the war coming on about this time, found him at once recruiting troops. He entered the service as lieutenant-colonel of the Thirty-eighth regular Indiana volunteers. He soon resigned this position and entered the recruiting field again, petting together, from various parts of the state, the Fifty-third regular Indiana volunteers, of which he became colonel. After the battle of Natchez, ip 1863. he was commissioned brigadiergeneral for gallant service. On July 20, 1864, while advancing the lines on Vicksburg, two days before the battle, he was wounded in the leg, badly fracturing the bone. From this time he saw no more active service, but returned to New Albany, Ind.. for treatment, and Just before the close of the war was commissioned major-general. In 1867 he was the republican candidats for congress, being defeated by M. C. Kerr in the second Indiana district. In 1869 he was appointed U. S. district Judge for the district of Indiana by President Grant, and soon thereafter took up his residence in Indianapolis. From there he went Into Arthur's cabinet as postmaster-general, and then to the U. S. circuit bench, from which position he was called by Cleveland to his present exalted station. He has carved out his own destiny by Incessant toll. He is a man of the people, and the poorest citizen, though he be clothed In rags, is as great in his court as a Vanderbllt or Gould. No money can buy, no flattery seduce, this just Judge. In corrupt times he has stood incorruptible, and the bench has been exalted by his touch. Such men inspire confidence in our courts and an abiding faith in the wisdom of our Institutions. Honesty In high places and equal Justice to rich and poor Is the clamor of our times, and we predict that his next step will be to the supreme bench and from there to the presidential chair. FRANK A. HOKNEIi. Brazil, Ind., July 6. 4 GRESHAM A.D MA J. MILKT. Why They Are Intimate The Story of the Marder of tirraham'i Kather. In a chat with MaJ. Mulky while he was going to the Western Union telegraph office to forward a number of messages for Gen. Gresham, and afterward at his office, an explanation was furnished for the uncommon intimacy existing between the major and Gen. Gresham. Last night, in the major's cool and comfortable office, among other things he stated: "The father of Gen. Gresham and my father lived a few miles apart during our boyhood days in Harrison county, and were intimate friends fcr many years. That in part accounts fcr our great friendship for each other. My father was one of the three men that arrested a pioneer desperado by the name of Sipes, who murdered the father of Gen. Gresham whilst I he was attempting aj.Kbtrlff of Harri-

son county, to arrest Sipes. I have forgotten the full name of this desperado, but I distinctly remember the full name of his brother Levi Sipes. Levi's brother, the desperado, had gotten into some sort of scrape as was his custom

and while a constable was attempting to arrest mm he shot the constable, but not killing him. The father of Secretary Gresham was then sheriff of the county, and it developed upon him to attempt to , arrest Sipes. Sipes was known to be a desperate and dangerous character, and most men were afraid of him. Sheriff Gresham summoned my father, the late James Mulky. James Gibbs and James Spencer to assist him. It is a little singular, but the first names of all these men were the same "James." Sipes was.known to be at a dance a few miles west of Corydon. "The officers, however, for some reason or other, went to the house of the father of Sipes, some two miles from the place where the dance was progressing, and the nature of their inquiries caused Levi Sipes to suspect the errand they were on. After the officers left. Levi hurried across the country by the nearest road to the scene of the dance, and rushed in the little cabin and found his brother, the desperado, on the floor dancing with a lady partner. He held a whispered conversation with him at once, interrupting the dance to do so. The desperado immediately whispered a few words to his partner and left the room. Going out into the yard he was confronted by Sheriff Gresham and the escort referred to when Gresham bravely said to him: "I have a warrant for you. Sipes, and you are my prisoner." The desperado immediately drew his pistol and fired. Subsequent examination showed that this shot would necessarily have been a fatal one. But the fearless Gresham was in the act of advancing upon his prisoner, and his momentum was such as to give the appearance of not being disabled, and Sipes supposing that he was advancing upon him, and not falling, as proved to be the fact, drew a long b'aded dirk knife and stabbed the sheriff two or three times, killing him Instantly by the use of the knife. Mulky. Gibbs and Spencer pursued the red-handed murderer to a still house, and afterward to Fredonia, at which place they effected his capture. Fredonia was then the county seat of Crawford county, on the bank of the Ohio river. These crimes were committed during the winter of '32 and '33. I remember distinctly that there was a deep snow on the ground, and that helped my father and the two men with him to track the murderer. Sipes was tried in 1S35 and sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty-one years. I do not remember what the character of the defense was, nor how it happened that the criminal got off so easily. He remained In prison until some time in 1837, when he was pardoned out by the then governor of Indiana. "Now I don't remember who the then governor was, but whoever was then governor Is the man that issued the pardon. It was either Noah Noble or David Wallace." It may be stated In this connection that the examination of official documents in this city, show that Noble was the governor of the state from 1831 to '37, and that Wallace was governor from 1837 to '40. It is likely that this pardon was the act of the outgoing governor in that year, as the new governor would not be likely to begin an official term by so strange an exercise of executive clemency the major being certain as to the year In which the pardon wm issued. Sipes returned to Harrison county immediately after his release from prison and again terrorized the people of that section for months. His manner then changed and he became a quiet citizen for a year or two, and then disappeared, and no one knew anything of his whereabouts. "In 1848," the major continued. "I took dinner at his house at Ottumwa, la., and found him a quiet, peaceable citizen, and in the possession of a large and valuable 'arm. His home was surrounded by all possible comforts, and he seemed to be getting: along verj- nicely. And that was the last I ever heard of him." D. O. Spencer in Bloomlngton World. NOT large: CROWDS Go Out to See the BI&T Fair on Sondnya CHICAGO, July 9. The attendance at the world's fair foday was very light, so light as to raiV doubt in some minds aa to whether the open Sundays are to prove the financial boom to the fair that was expected. While the exposition officials express satisfaction over the attendance, it is no secret that concessionaries are generally greatly disappointed at the lack of bustling multitudes that were fondly anticipated for this period of the fair. As nearly all the concessionaries are compelled to pay 25 per cent, of their gross receipts into the expoe'.tion coffers, they are, of course, the first to feel the results of light attendance. The Welllngrton catering: company and nearly all the other catering and restaurant establishments are cutting down their forces, and the Hygia water company, the most enterprising institution on the ground, has made radical reductions in its working force until the attendance shall become such as to Justify previous expectations. Regular Sunday services were the only special attraction at the park today, and the now established facts that many exhibits are entirely closed on Sundays no doubt worked somewhat to diminish the Sunday attendance. The first of the Michigan Central industrial excursions entered the grounds today. A special train bore about 450 employes of the Michigan- Central s shops of Detroit. All these employer aud their families are furnished with passes. It is expected that the benefit that they will derive from the unsurpassed exhibition of industrial and decorative arts at the world's fair will be highly appreciated by these workmen and will redound to the interests of the company in the improvement of their technical skill, the character of their work and the training of their perceptive and inventive faculties. Commissioner General PalitschekPalmforst of Austria says thai he is in favor of permitting the sale and Immediate delivery of Roods by exhibitors. He said he was not asking more than had been granted at previous International expositions, nor more than was allowed certain American exhibitors at the present world's fair. The latter, as was becoming generally known, he said, were selling goods quite openly, and he had been Informed that the guards had been instructed to close their eyes to the practice, at least so far as a certain few were concerned The commissioner Insisted that it was only right that all exhibitors should be put on the same footing. At the Paris exposition 6uch sales amounted to 10,000,000 francs. There were rules similar to those of the Columbian exposition, but they had served their purpose when they had shut out those who would have come in with gewgaws and fraudulent wares for the mere sake of traffic. Foreign exhibitors, or many of them, did not care for the doubtful reward of medals. Under the present system of judging their only hope of compensation for the trouble and expense to which they had been put lay In the direct sales which they could make. There could be no possible harm in these legitimate sales. If all exhibitors were given the same privilege. Commissioner Palitschk - Palmforst has written a letter to Chief Allison of the manufacturers' and liberal arts, building complaining of the disorderly conduct of the Columbian guards on duty at night In the Austrian section of the manufacturers building. He said the guards made free with all articles on exhibition, using the choice Bohemian glassware to drink beer from, forgetting to replace it. Show cases had been opened by guards, who had crawled inside to find a comfortable place to sleep. Two nights ago one had broken a fan worth 5250, apparently by stepping or lying upon It. Drawers had been broken open and other depredations committed. For water brash and sour stomach take Simmons Liver Regulator.
