CHICAGO’S GREATNESS.

Shown by the Multitude She Entertained on Chicago Day. • Million People Vtalt the World's Fair in Twelve Hour*—An Unequaled Beeord-Some Scenesand Incidents. (Special Chicago Correspondence. 1 Peerless among the great cities of the globe, Chicago stands to-day as a world’s fair city. She has ably demonstrated her supremacy a§ a host by receiving and entertaining within her gates nearly half a million people, in addition to caring for her population of over twelve hundred thousand. When the day came on which she was to commemorate the awful disaster which overcame her in 1871, she “turned herself loose” and gave the world a lesson in celebrating which will serve as a marker for the future generations of all lands to ponder over and marvel at We all expected a big turncut, and calculated on breaking all world’s fair records, providing the weather was fine. Well, the weather was fine, very fine. It was far different from that of October 9, twenty-two years ago. It was just such a day as

patriotic Chicagoans had been wishing for ever since the celebration was first planned. And the records were broken, beyond dispute, and a new record made for coming world’s fair cities to look up to. The most sanguine expectations were far short of the rqal accomplishment Great guessers and clever calculators fixed the probable number of admissions at the fair at a limit of half a million. But they placed the limit far too low, only a little over half-way up to the notch that it actually reached. Official returns show that 716,881 persons paid their way into the fair grounds during the day. To these may be added the vast number who entered

free, in one way or another, anything like an exact estimate of which can hardly be given. It is coming pretty close to the truth to state that in the aggregate the number of human beings within the gates of the White City on Chicago day was considerably in excess of three-quarters of a million. Such a vast concourse of people was never before seen save upon one other occasion, named in ancient history, when there were over five million souls assembled wjthin one city. But in all the history of world’s fairs there has never been anything like our Chicagoday crowd, p,nd in all probability there will not be< again during the present feneration. It was evident from the falling off in

the attendance on the following day that the crowd was made up principally of single-day visitors from the immediate vicinity of the city. The enormous business of suburban trains showed that the surrounding towns were pouring almost their entire populations into the swollen stream of humanity that was rushing down upon our city as if it would overwhelm it. But they were all taken care of and found that in a pinch there would be room for as many more. True, there was not much room for cavorting about the fair grounds. People had to look out for their ribs and pet corns. They were packed so closely in places that, as an Irish friend remarked: “Two av thim had to schtand in the place av wan.” The man with the horizontal umbrella and the gawk with the swinging cane had no show for the execution Of their fellow mortals. They had to bold themselves strictly erect and look out for their own optics on that occasion. ’ Yet, notwithstanding the terrible jam at the gates and in the central portions of the grounds, there was fairly comfortable going to be had in the mors remote thoroughfares. Midway

Plaisance was impassable. It appeared to be a solid, suffocating mass of surging humanity, and none but the bravest would venture in. There were very few accidents f<>r such a mass of people, and aside from the loss of breath and a few articles of personal property and an occasional “kid,” the immense crowd suffered no injury. In some instances women fainted and were picked up and passed bodily over the heads of the people to a place of safety where they soon revived. Minor accidents, such as the loss of a hat, or the tearing of a dress, were quite common, but general good nature prevailed, and the people put up with such little annoyances with commendable fortitude. The main attractions of the day were the speeches by world’s fair officials and national celebrities, the parade of states, patriotic music and the evening display of floats and fireworks. Everything passed off in perfect order and the spectacle that was presented after dark surpassed all previous efforts at illumination. But the one all-important feature of the day was the settlement of all the world’ fair indebtedness by the presentation of a monster check by the management to Treasurer Seeberger, the

THE BIG CHECK.

amount being >1,565,310.76, which represented the last payment on the >4,500,000 issue of bonds, including interest from last February. The check was the biggest ever written in Chicago and the presentation was a fitting finale to the financial plot of the grandest fair the world has ever known. The payment will reimburse the moneyed men who came to the rescue of the great enterprise when it was in imminent need of financial assistance. It is said that there will be a large surplus, which will afford ample means for the .clearing of the grounds after the fair is over, and it is considered quite probable that the stockholders who contributed so promptly and generously to the first funds of the fair will receive part, if not the full amount, of their subscriptions.

GIANT MODELS OF INSECTS.

They Are Shown In the Anthropological Building at the Fair. Back in a far corner of the Anthropological building are some enlarged papier mache models showing a section of honeycomb, with several bees, each the size of one’s palm. These may be unhooked and opened like little boxes and the difference in construction of the various kinds of bees noted. For people who are always loudly shrieking for the equality of all people this model is a great object lesson. Here is the honey-maker, here the cellbuilder. The servant bee is physically formed for its work. See othe contrivance for the pollen gatherer? Tho queen bee’s larvae are deposited in a cell differing from the others. She, with her sisters, is fed upon royal food. The first one that hatches of these possible royalties, realizing that, for bees or men, no one can serve two masters, kills the others and reigns supreme. All these peculiarities of bee life the models show, for they are made by celebrated naturalists. A snail in his spiral house is shown and can be taken apart, making about seventy pieces. Who would think the stupid thing had such beautiful organs?

His Apt Reply.

Countess , who is an American by birth and a delegate to the Columbian exposition from a foreign country, ap-

plied for a complimentary card of admission not long ago. The official to whom she spoke of the matter explained to'her that it would be impossible for him to issue such a card, because if it were lost he had no way of tracing it “A photographic pass is much better,” he said, “as it can be readily traced. Such passes,” he added, “are used by all members of the board of lady managers.” The countess objected to having her picture taken for a photographic pass, on the ground that she was a titled personage, and it would not be in conformity with etiquette. “Well,” replied the official, by way of persuasion, “my mother is a member of the board of lady managers, and when she comes to Chicago next week she will have her picture taken just like the other members.” “But you see,” said the lady, “I am a countess.” “Yes, I know,” retorted the official, “and my mother is a queen.” The countess stamped her foot, and without another word turned and left the

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Emery Roffett, a notorious tough of Brazil, who has committed many crimes, and is reported to have assisted in grave crimes in Illinois, was tried in 1 the superior court the other day on a charge of grand larceny, and was sentenced to Jeffersonville penitentiary for five years and fined >SOO. He served a term in the penitentiary some time since, and after his released became very religious and exhorted in several revival meetings and was a persistent church worker for several months, but finally returned to wickedness and crimes. Out of a number of civil cases filed against John W. Paris, ex-Governor Ira J. Chase, directors, and Cashier Walden, of the defunct Greentown bank, five were defaulted and judgment entered for creditors, amounting to about 53,000. The Logansport Brewing Co., which last year erected a 160,000 malthouse, has gone into the hands of a receiver, Walter A. Osmer being appointed to take charge of the company’s affairs. The company has been unable to meet its obligations of late, and this, with internal dissensions, forced the receivership. Little Sammy Tarkinson was gored to death by a bull near Spiceland. The first report of Drs. Whitesides and Metcalf, of the state board of health, convinces Gov. Matthews that the money advanced toward assistance of small-pox infected Muncie has been profitably expended. Part of it was used in the employment of inspectors, who have turned up several cases of small-pox which had been carefully concealed from the Muncie authorities, and through whieh there was great danger of infection,

Caleb S. Denny was sworn in as mayor of Indianapolis the other day, and Thomas L. Sullivan stepped down and out Mayox- Denny states that he will not announce any of his appointments for a few days, and the members of the present boards have been requested to hold on until their successors are appointed. Lee Nixon, as clerk, and George Stubbs, as police judge, were sworn in. Mayor Denny’s first official act was to instruct superintendent of Police Colbert that the saloons are to be closed at 11 o’clock at night and on Sunday, and that gambling is to be suppressed. The new mayor emphasized it that the order was to go into effect at once and permanently. At Huntington, Mrs. Cal Lyon obtained judgment against the Chicago and Erie railroad for >9,000, for the death of her husband, an engineer, who was killed in a collision at Huntington. The verdict has been set aside by the judge on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Frank Palmer, who a few days ago killed “Babe” Spurlock in a saloon at Phillipsburg, near Kokomo, had a narrow escape from lynching. The coroner’s verdict was justifiable homicide, and the officers refused to arrest Palmer, he being an old soldier, 67 years of age. The verdict exasperated “Babe’s” relatives, and being a tough lot, they organized a lynching party and proposed hanging Palmer to the first tree. They went to his house armed with Winchesters, shotguns, corn knives and pitchforks, but Palmer,who had been informed of their intentions, fled the country, and is now in Kansas. At Salem John Payton has turned state’s evidence in the Emeline Dalton white-capping case, and says that the woman’s husband assisted in beating her.

The supreme court ordered a suspension of the sentence in the case of Edward McAffee and John Parker, both colored, who are under sentence to be hanged at the northern prison November 3. The postponement was ordered to enable the supreme court to pass upon the case. McAffee and Parker were convicted of the murder of Chas. E. Eyster, a young druggist in Indianapolis, on the night of April 10, 1893. Gov. Matthews has pardoned Edward Wilson, of Vigo county, convicted of bigamy; Edward Burrell, of Jackson county, sentenced for forgery, and J. W. Kuhns, of Noble county, who was given five years for forgery. The latter is but 17 years of age, and the governor has become convinced that he was the tool of an older person in his forgeries. Wilson married a loose character at Terre Haute while drunk, and the evidence showed that his condition was taken advantage of to induce him to commit the crime, he having another wife at the time. Harry Sullivan, a picketpocket escaped from Sheriff Stout at Seymour, while the officer was taking the prisoner to the penitentiary. At Summitville, Jonesboro and Fairmount, north of Anderson, natural gas was burned the other night in flambeaux, on the streets and around the public buildings. Some action is-to be taken in that and neighboring county seats to stop the criminal waste of fuel at the places named. Train No. 8, east-bound, on Pennsylvania railway, was derailed at an interlocking switch at Whiting. The engine and two cars were wrecked. Fireman H. Warner was killed and Engineer J. S. Christie and Conductor J. Brown were fatally injured. None of the passengers were hurt. Joseph W. Shackelford, editor of the Anderson Daily and Weekly Herald, died of typhoid fever the other evening. The remains will be taken to Metamora.

Howabd Dill, a very popular yonng man living three miles east of Brooklyn, the other night, accidentally shot himself through the breast and lung with a pistol while out buggy riding with his sweetheart, M iss Sadie Hobson. It is feared he can not live. At Muncie, Frank Cga, a small boy, was shot in the abdomen with a flobert rifle, which was in the hands of his brother, who “did not know it was loaded.” He may die. Mike Fleming was struck on the head with a crowbar by James Thompson, and is lying at death's door st Muncie. They were engaged in a quarrel over a pretty girt

A Slater to Him. They walked and rode and dallied The whole long summer through. They disagreed, then rallied, And soon were friends anew. He called her Nell, and she him Ted, And they were jolly chums, they said. They spent long days in boating, t And fishing near the shore. And oft their skiff went floating Midst lily pads. Nell wore The drooping blossoms, dewy white, Tucked in her silver belt at night. Sometimes fair Nellie flirted With other happy men. And candidly Ted blurted: ••I’m dead In love with Jen.” And each in each confided when Affairs were waxing tame again. And then Ted left for college One day in early fall, To gain maturer knowledge Of cricket and football; Out on the porch he stooped and kissed her; Do not be shocked, Nell was his sister. —Merritt Keene, in N. Y. Sun.
