THE PRINCE OF LUNATICS.
Ueorge Francis Train May Go to Chicago to Save the Fair. Several little girls and an elderly mun who wore a suit of snow-white duck, all • skipping ropes, attracted the loutigers of Madison Square, New York, Tuesday. At length he stopped, panting. His rope dangled from one hapd and the-other rested on one of park benches. The •an was George Francis Train. Mr. Train produced a telegram signed by Reed Campbell, which asked if he would go to the World’s Fair if invited. “I have telegraphed that I do not see how I can say ‘No’,” he said. “Pinay go to Chicago and save the Fair. They want me to go even now at the last minyte. I don’t say surely that I will but 1f I go I shall save the Pair. “They have put about 125,000,003 info it. They cannot get it back except by the use of psychic force. If this force were properly used it would bring millions of people to Chicago. Suppose thejsehool children are induced to go. Count 13,000,000 School children in America and 350,000 teachers. Let the cities and towns of the country issue scrip, arrange with the railroad companies to carry the school children for one-sixth fare, and lot all attend the great schqol in the White City for one week, This would put the Fair upon its feet. Ido not know that I wIH go. IP the commissioners had been wise they would have called on mo before.” •
