TALES OF THE FAIR

Fresh Notes of Interest from the Columbian Exposition. American Day to Be Gloriously Celebrated—Great Times Among State Buildings—lncidents and Accidents. [Special Chicago Correspondence. 1 There have been some great days at Jackson park since the fair opened, but the greatest day in all probability that the White City will see will be American day, July 4 next. A few days ago Germany had her day, and it was aiandly and enjoyably celebrated by e Germans of the city. There were nearly a quarter of a million people in the grounds on that occasion, and Germania was the recipient of distinguished honors, but on the Fourth of July we expect to see a celebration which will outshine anything of the kind ever held in this country, Centennial day not excepted. This is, of course, as it should be, for are a cosmopolitan people and nation the American sentiment should prevail and all American-born citizens should take pride in an event which will herald to the world the

magnitude of our institutions and the progress of our country. There will no doubt be a greatly increased attendance during the first week of July, in view' of the grand sights programmed for the Fourth. The excursions have begun to come in and the floating population of our great city is daily increasing. In reference to the coming celebration one of our leading dailies contains this glowing outburst: “Fourth of July at the fair will be a roarer. All the contrivances known to pyrotechnic art, all the eloquence of a hundred orators, all the music of a hundred bands, all the huzzas aud hurrahs of a million lungs will be united in a patriotic din such as the world has never heard. It will begin at sunrise and last the day out, and all the fiery glory of Bunker Hill and Concord and Lexington will be magnified a hundred fold as a national demonstration of the fact that American liberty is as sure and safe as the granite ribs of its mountains. The declaration of independence will be read in twenty tongues from galleries and parapets and platforms, while all the tribes, from slaving Turks to barbarous Dahomans, unite in cheers for the success and everlastingness of the giant republic. “The exposition people now have all shoulders at the wheel, and with the brilliance of the dedication to eclipse they have planned along leviathan lines. The greatest day in American

history deserves the greatest celebration that money and brains can devise at the hands of the greatest enterprise the country ever witnessed. All the men who make such occasions a business have been called into council that the Visiting nations may understand how numerously and noisily loyal this free people is. From dawn until the next daylight there will be such a bewildering confusion of booming and such a blinding display of fire and such a deafening roar of patriotic airs that the whole world will be convinced that this whole people is as loyal to the old declaration as were the embattled farmers who fought for it.” The programme for the day has been outlined and it is replete with interesting features from beginning 'to end. The evening will be made grandly gorgeous by all the arts of which pyrotechnical genius is master, the figures to be presented being those of most prominence in the history of our independence as a nation. Tlie people of the various states having representative bfiildings at the fair have been having great times within the past few days. Indiana, California

and Texas have just completed their exhibits and have done the opening honors in magnificent style. More notable than the others is probably the California building, on account of the magnitude of its dimensions and the variety and volume of its contents. Built on the lines of the old Spanish missions of the Pacific coast it is exceedingly picturesque, and filled as it ia with the wonderful productions of the “Golden State” it affords visitor a world of pleasure in the contemplation of its beauties. There are but few of the state buildings now unfinished, and those states unrepresented by buildings have exhibits in the large buildings of the fair. Among the latter is Oregon, whose fair appropriation was made at so late a date that it was decided impracticable to attempt the erection of a building. The state, however, is very creditably represented in the various department buildings of the exposition. Just at present the weather is very warm end we are having a foretaste of what we may expect during the heat of the midsummer days. Several cases of prostration have resulted from injudicious exposure on the part of too eager sightseers, and the patrol wagons of the police department have been called into requisition to convey the victims

of inordinate curiosity to the hospital. With one thing and another the police of the fair have been kept pretty busy since the opening day, although the number of crimes committed in the grounds has been surprisingly small. Once in awhile some luckless individual meets with a loss cr an accident and immediately resorts to the patrol, which attends to his case with promptness and dispatch. Since the cessation of building operations there have been but few accidents to workmen, the only death reported for a long time occurring a few days ago. This was a very distressing case. One of a number of men who were working near the roof of the Manufactures building lost his hold and fell one hundred and seventy feet to the floor below. A great many visitors were in the building at the time, and they beheld a sight which unnerved the strongest of them and caused a number of women to faint. The poor man was dashed nto a shapeless mass and never regained consciousness. The hospital service at the fair is excellent in every respect and through its agency many broken limbs have been restored and much suffering has been alleviated. The provisions for caring for the children is another feature of the fair service that is especially commendable. Bv its aid tired mothers are relieved of their precious burdens for the time and enabled to go

about unhampered by their little ones, whom in many instances they must take with them or remain at home themselves. The complaints of extortion which were so frequent a short time ago are eow no longer heard, or at least are becoming very rare, and the impression, whWh had been somewhat general, that people were being robbed at the fair is gradually becoming effaced. There are plenty of free water and toilet accommodations, and lunches may be had at a moderate charge. This being the case, a person of modest medhs need not go hungry, thirsty or dirty while visiting the fair.

Among the many beautiful exhibits of embroidery in the Woman’s building there is nothing more interesting than a handkerchief made for Mary Antoinette. It is on the finest of lawn and the embroidery was done with the aid of a microscope, two of the workwomen losing their sight while working upon it. The design is of the chase, huntsmen, hounds and game being brought out with wonderful regard to detail and effect.

A Fine Piece of Work.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

The other day the charge of murder was placed opposite the name of Lon Henderson, at Indianapolis, the notorious burglar captured a few days ago after a desperate fight. Henderson is charged with the killing of John Tarpey, of who was shot by a burglar whom he caught in the act of rifling his money drawer. He has confessed. Gbeat interest was caused at Elkhart by the announcement that Alman Ames and Mrs. Mary Ames Fulkerson, both pioneer residents of that city and aged 75 years, had quietly, without the knowledge of their friends, got married. The bride is quite wealthy, and this is the third matrimonial venture of each of the parties. James Michener, father of Councilman J. B. Michener, of Kokomo, died at the home of the latter the other evening, aged 91 years and 4 months. He was born in Chester county, Pa., in 1802. He cast his first presidential vote for John Quincy Adams in 1824. Pearl Landus, the 15-year-old son of Isaac Landus, was drowned at the mouth of Mill creek on the Ohio river, below Alton, the other evening. Charles Gertz, a wealthy citizen of Madison, died in his carriage of heart disease.

Fire at Mt. Summit destroyed Ice & Co.’s handle factory. Loss, 120,000; small insurance. The following post oflices have been established in Indiana: Corning, Daviess county, John Whitesides postmaster; Dennison, Fayette county, T. Jefferson Rauck postmaster; Saint Ann, Jennings county, Peter Singer postmaster. The Andersoii Iron and Bolt works, one of the largest manufacturing institutions of Anderson, passed into the hands of a receiver the other afternoon. It is now almost an assured fact that the Raub Locomotive works will be erected at Muncie. Frederick Goins, a prominent farmer, fifty-seven years old, residing twelve miles northeast of Noblesville, waa< killed a few days since by a tree falling on him. He was a soldier, getting a pension of $72 per month. At Evansville, while temporarily insane Jacob W. Underlich, aged eightyone, suicided by drowning himself in the Ohio. Dr. A. S. McMubry, a prominent physician of Frankfort, was sentenced to two years in the prison on a plea of guilty to the charge of perjury. Barton Calloway, colored, an exconvict, who shot another colored man in a crowd in a republican rally at Terre Haute in 1888 and instantly killed Dollie White, narrowly escaped lynching at the time, was instantly killed a few days ago by handling a live electric wire at the rolling mill where he was employed. William Kline, night engineer at Brightwood shops, Indianapolis, was fatally beaten with a hatchet in his home by an unknown person during the absence of his wife and children. A neighbor with whom he had quarreled is suspected. Robt. Hays found on the land of D. R. Hostetler, near Claysville, the largest tortoise ever seen by the oldest settler. It bears the name G. Winlow, Government Surveyor, 1803, on its back. This animal can be seen by calling on Marion Beasley at Claysville. Jas. Townsend, an old soldier and pensioner, committed suicide at Peril, the other morning by hanging. No reason is known for the act. He leaves a wife.

Mrs. Margaret Price, of Greenfield, imagined she had swallowed her false teeth, and, thinking the doctors would have to cut her up to recover them, cut her throat. She may recover. As Evan Hensley was driving into Indianapolis, the other morning, with a load of hay, lie made the startling discovery that his cargo was on fire. He managed to save his horses. The hay was fired by contact with a trolley wire. At Greenfield, Ralph Waddell, 2, fell into a tub of water and was drowned. Wm. Ross, a driver in mine No. tt, belonging to Brazil Block Coal Co., was crushed to death by falling slate. As he was taking some loaded cars to the mine entry he was caught by a heavy fall of slate. At Warren a burglar chloroformed Mr. and Mrs. Andy Carlisle and robbed their house of over S2OO. The following fourth-class postmasters were commissioned a few days ago: Broad Park, Putnam county, E. V. Ragland; Donaldson, Marshal county, S. R. Richey; Fairbanks, Sullivan county, Owen Kissner; Fountain City, Wayne county, F. B. William; Galena, Floyd county, Nancy M. Norman; Glenwood, Rush county, Sylvester Meek; Middletown, Henry county, H. H. Lilly; Sheridan, Hamilton county, T. D. Spencer. At Decatur burglars entered the residence of Joseph Bremerkamp while he and David Rice were out with a party fishing. While the thieves were in the house the fishing party returned, but the thieves made a rush for an upstairs window, and, leaping to the ground, escaped in the darkness. Roy Harris, a twelve-year-old boy, was seized with cramp while bathing in Eel river, at Logansport,and drowned in the presence of several companions and a large crowd which had gathered on the bank.

London letter carriers find a good many empty purses in letter boxes. Pickpockets think it safer to drop them there than on the pavements. An underground river flows near Charlotte, N. C. It is forty-five feet below the surface, seven hundred feet wide, and six feet deep.* Moldy apples, which have been stored in cellars, are perilous to health. They sometimes cause diphtheria. Pansy leaves spread among furs and woolens will protect them from moths.

SUMMER RHYMES. Cora Planting Time. The earth Is awake and the birds have eome, There Is life In the beat of the breeze, And the basswood tops are alive with the hum And the flash of the hungry bees: The frogs in the swale In concert croak, And the glow of the spring Is here. For the bursting leaves on the rough old oak Are aa big as a red squirrel's ear. From the ridge pole dry the corn ws pluck. Ears ripe and yellow and sound. That we saved apart, with a red for luck, The best that the huskere found; We will shell them now, for the Indian folk Say: "Plant your oorn without fear When the bursting leaves on the rough old oak Are as big as the red squirrel's ear." No crow will pull and no frost will blight, Nor grub cut the tender sprout, No rust will burn and no leaves turn white, But the stalks will be tall and stout; And never a weed will have power to ohoke, Or blasting wind to sear * The corn that we plant when the leaves of the oak Are as big as a red squirrel’s ear. —P. McArthur, in Harper's Weekly. Twilight. Slowly dies the long June day, Slowly rolls the earth away, Lovlier light at length divining, All a dream of misty bloom. Trembling stars, and golden gloom, Larger beavons and sweeter shiningWhich is dearer, dusk or day? * ) Where the glory dyed the dark, Lost in light and ruby spark, Violet gleam, and saffron splendor, Melt and mingle into one. When the long June day Is done. All the depths throb close and tender— i Is It day, or is It dark? i Love! the long June day had life, Silver showers and sunny strife— Now its rosy wraith fades o’er usl Eld's vast twilight fills our eyes, * Yet what freedom ot the skies Parts the star-sown way before us— Is It death, or Is it life? —Harriet Prescott Spofford, in Harper's Bazar.

If your grocer sends you an imitation, be honest—send it back—demand Pearline. m James pyle, New York.
