THE WORLD'S FAIR DIRECTORS.

Earnest and Encw«e Work Begun To-Iay on the Fair. CHICAGO, 111.,

September

9—The

"fear

and trembling," tne procrastination and tho utterly inexcusable lack of management which has hitherto characterized the Directorate of the World's Columbian Exposition gives way to-day to earnest and energetic work in behalf of that enterprise. The members of the National Commission are gathering once more in the city, and they are men of a caliber that is purely and essentially business. No small number of them are already disgusted with the methods and policy, or, rather, lack of it, of the local board, and have so expressed themselves. Under the resolutions adopted by the board of directors two weeks ago, that body, at 5

o'clock to-night, must commence to fina'- ^,j0

At any rate, such a course on the part of the directors would be an ungraceful and complete surrender of the problem with which they have grappled for three months, and would reflect discredit not only on themselves but upon the city. This afternoon the committee on permanent organisation consisting of Messrs Mchenm of Kentucky, chairman Ewing, of Illinois, McDonald, o!

JtCf* LAST SIGHT.

He Tatffs ilont the BnHiem orTaxaa»d l)l*ciM«e« the McKInley ftriff BIH-Ttie ftpeech.

Brazil, Ind., Sept. 9.-~"Colored Aristoeracv" and Brooks hire Democracy held forth in Brazil last night, the former bnrnt cork and the latter roasted Keed, McKmley and other magnates of the Republican congressional machine. The two performances divided attention. All went merry 09 a marriage bell until 7:30, when a band, very brass, stationed itself at a street corner and agitated the moist and murky atmosphere, Pat nt inquiry revealed the fact that the band was for the purp^ge of escorting this the glorious Eighth district to the court house. It played something that sounded like "Brookie, Vory," to the tune of Annie Laurie. Had Antony of old been present he might have well exclaimed, "lend me your ears," if he chose to preserve his own. The band headed tbe "procesh" and a dozen or more valiants "Tell in." The column moved east on Main, down the plank walk to Clay's halls of justice, up the iron staircase, column right, then groped it3 way nt the dark and dusty stair to the second landing, lighted by a smoked lantern which rested on the floor. The hallway resembled the corridors of time, from the point of dust. The speech making was conducted within tbe tinted walls and veneered ceiling of the court room.

Senator George Byrd presided. In a short address he presented the speaker of the evening to a crowd of two hundred voters, a number of women and four babies on the front seati, two stoves with crooked pipes and the chandeliers which swayed presumably by the eloquence of the orator of the evening. Congressman Brookshire appeared in a t"stv black suit, side-board collar and large tie, spreading beneath his chin with,immaculate whiteness. He opened his address with a few choice remarks and then nailed in on a set speech. He spoke of the difficulties encountered by the new member of congress who cannot hope to be placed on the most important committees. He then discussed the great importance of the speaker as a factor in legislation, how the shaping of his committees outlines the policy of the lower houso. The speaker has almost unlimited power. The orator then discussed tho tyrannv of Speaker Reed. He denounced hSm soundly for his course in forcing legislation by counting a quorum present. He "raw hided" Reed most artistically (no one knew of Reed's increased majority) for his despotic rale of the house. Following the course of legislation in the houso he came down to the silver bill and paid his romv pliments to the force Brookj shire then devoted considerable time to a discussion of the burdens which tho people have. He said that be was in favor of lessening the taxation on the people. Ife argued in favor of an income tax. He maintained that tho rich were getting richer and the poor poorer by reason of unjust trx ition. He declared that the man who went to a hot jl and paid $6 a day for a room and board, went to summer resorts in the heated season, fared sumptuously and lived superbly should be compelled to pay his just and equita-

creased the duties. Tho Morrill bill increased duties 20 per cent and the McKinloy bill 47 per cent, Thp McKinley bill discriminates In favor of the rich as against the poor. A number of schedules were taken up and discussed, showing this to be a fact. Fine blankets arc taxed about one-half what common grades are pisessed. He referred to the duty on hoop iron, saying that 100 pounds in England could be purchased for one dollar, while the dutv, according to the McKinley bill was'$l.03. If a man in this country worked for $1 per day, to procure the 100 pounds of hoop iron, he would have to pay the coat and tho duty which amounts to the price of his labor for one day. Mr. Brookshire used several other illustrations, using the price of day labor at $1 as a bmis of his calculations. He maintained that tlie farmere had a poorer market todav than ever before. From a statement of the statistician of Michigan it is learned that +7 per cent Qf the farms of that state tin* mOrtgaged for

per cent. Of their

value. Why? Because the farmers &re paying too much for every article they buy, upon which there is a tariff.^

Speaking of Blaine's reciprocity scheme, Mr. Brookshire said that the farmers were "getting on" to the protection tariff fraud. They know that they are being robbed by the tariff. Blaine, the adroit statesman, comes forward with his reciprocity scheme, which if nothing but a change of winery. The old stage worn scenes no longer attract new stage drapery must be substituted to delude people. The speaker declared that reciprocity would not and could not help the farmer It was solely in the interests of the Eastern manufacturer. The sneaker then took up the reciprocity question regards feonth American countries. He gave statistics to show tbat the South American market was small in comparison with the European market of farm products. He characterised Blaine's proposals as frauds, calculated solely to gull the farmers I*

THE

COLLIER CASE.

Farther Examination to Frank Collier's Sanity. ^CHICAGO,

111.. September 9.—Judge

Gary returned to town this morning and the exwgrfnation into the sanity of Frank noted lawJ^g, which was adon Wednesday last in consequence of the judge being compelled to try a case in another part of the state, was resumed in the circuit court. This case has attracted an amount of public attention probably unprecedented in any lunacy case wbich has come before the courts of Cook county for two generations and public feeling has become considerably excited over the matter. To all appearances the lawyer, despite the persecution to which he has been subjected, his prolonged detention in the Kankakee asylum, and his more recent imprisonment in the local detention hospital, is as sane as any other man and a deal smarter than the majority of mankind. In defending himself in court last week he displayed a vitality of memory, a genius of logic and a general brilliancy which astounded tbe court and spectator®, and, so far as could be judged by outward manifestations, has a remarkable influence npon*he jury.

Collier has been extremely active for many years in British-American circles, and it will be remembered that a few years ago he was appointed to present to Queen Victoria tbe congratulatory addrees adopted by the British*American residents of Chicago upon the anniversair of. her coronation. He performed his mission so well that he was actually received into the presence of the queen, presented the address in person, listened to her reply, wbich was couched»in flattering phrases, and was subsequently invited to dine at the royal table. At the meeting of the Britislf-American association to-day the committee which waited upon the alleged lunatic at his hotel last week reported that he is perfectly sane and absolutely not more eccentric than he has been for several years past.

So strongiB the feeling in this city on the question, that a mass meeting has been called for Wednesday evening when a number of prominent citizens will denounce the treatment to which Mr. Collier has been subjected and when steps will be taken for his protection. It is proposed to secure his discharge by the court, fcennl^f^ of his ample property and, finally, to make arrangements by which he may be placed for a short period, in a private retreat, where lie can recuperate from the state of mind which hss resulted as the natural result of the treatment to which ho has been subjected.

Manner#.

I make it a point of morality never to find fault with another for his manners. They may be awkward or graceful, blunt or polite, polished or rustic, I care not what they are, if the man means well and acts from honest intentions, without oecentricity or affectation. All men have not the advantages of "good society," as it is called, to school themselves in all its fnntaartr. rules and ceremonies and if there is any standard of manners, it is well founded on reason and good sense, and not upon these artificial regulations. Manners, like conversation, should be extemporaneous and not studied. I always suspect a man that meets me with the same perpetual smile on his face, the gftmn bending of the body and the same premeditated sfcake of the hand. Give me the hearty—it may be rough—grip of the hand, the careless nod of recognition, and, when occasion requires, the homely but welcome salutation "How are yon, my old friendT—New York Ledger.

All the. old members of the camp will be on hand and what with a plentitude of good music and good beer i^, is believed that the closing hours of the popular rendezvous will be the most brilliant it has ever known—which is saying a very great deal, indeed.

tives Dingley, Boutelle and Milliken are re-elected by majorities ranging frosn 3,500 to 5,000. The Pine Tree state endorses your administration and remains firm in its advocacy of protection to American industries and American labor."

The members of congress are all reelected by large majorities, Mr. Reed's being doubled. The county officers are mostly Republicans. The senators are possibly all Republicans as in the last legislature and representatives must stand fully as strongly Republican, namely— 125 Republicans to 26 Democrats.

PORTLAND,

Me., Sneaker Reed left for

Washington at 9 o'clock this morning in a joyous frame of mind. Like Republicans and leaders behind him the speaker was surprised by yesterday's result in his district, his plurality approaching 4.7QQ as the figures now point. When only 1,500 had been figured on by the sanguine supporters of the big man was enough to astonish even trained politicians. Strict friends of temperance and prohibition are much disappointed that Milliken was not better punished at the polls for the brealt at the WaterviUe meeting. His majority was considerably cut down. Before leaving the town Reed confessed to the solicitude which he had felt before the election and said he did not flatter himself that the men who made yesterday's majority did it for him personally. They did it out of principle to show their approval of the idea that the House of Representatives was to be a business body.

Governor Burleighs' plurality for reelection is estimated at from 16,000 to 18,000.

The C2ar appears to have treated the Kaizar as a fighting lad, for he acted after the manner of Talleyrand when the late Lady London Dessy attempted to take high policy with him. He was ready to discuss the scenery, urines and similar topics aud would gossip and relate rebellions by the hour, but he absolutely refused to enter upon momentous subjects which the German Emperor was panting*to discuss, and the visitor, finding he could achieve fiothing, became sulky. Certainly no pains were taken to please Emperor William at the Russian court for he heard French talked on both sides and at the Galea dinner the Czar even gave a toast in that language and there were French wines, French dishes and menus in French. Emperor William hastened his departure because the Czar politely but firmly refused his earnest request that he be permitted to attend the maneuvers which are about to take place under Generals Dragomoff and Gourka and are to be real serious business, while these which were arranged during his visit were mere child's play, or, as a German journal complains, mere military comedy.

Diet of Old People

As we Increase in age—when we have spent, say, our first half century—less energy and activity remain, and less expenditure can be made less power to eliminate is possible at 60 than at 90, still less at 60 and upward. Less nutriment, therefore, says Sir Henry Thompson, must be taken in proportion as age advances, or rather as activity diminishes, or the individual will suffer. If he continue to consume the same abundant breakfast, substantial lunches and heavy dinners which at the summit of his power he could dispose of almost with impunity, he will in time certainly either accumulate fat, or become acquainted with gont or rheumatism, or show signs of unhealthy deposit of some kind in some part of the bodv—processes wMdi must inevitably poison, undermine or shorten his remaining term of life. He must reduce his "intake," because a small expenditure is aa enforced condition of existence. 3

,, iuc outcome toe yea^s venture wil! be fully raited. Sample fields of what was recognised as the best wheat in this country have nroduced only eight bushels per aor^ Cl these are unfortunately but few in number, the general run ot the yield beirnr from two and a half to five bushels with a very consideiable proportion at or below lower figure, and as was expected, the grade is' as unsatisfactory as the yield, the greater partof the wheat being so shrunken as io be rated No. ]\orthern"and "rejected were always heretofore "No. 1 hard," has been the prevailing grade in those counties adjoining on the east, south and west The Spring returns are no better, but the North showing is slightly better.
