The PROPOSED WORLDS FAIR--In our last
issue we published the names of subscribers 10
81 coo worth of stock in the International Ex-
position, proposed TO lie held in this city IN 1911;
and have now to add SO 900 more, the result of
two hours work yesterday by Messrs. Gait and
Mohun. OF this So 900 the leading subscriptions
were As rollows.-w. b. Moses, go 900; Hume &
Hall, IS 900; J. b. Bryan, 5000; Ferry &
Brother s., oOO jesse b. Wilson, IS 900; Barbour
& Hamilton, $500; Francis Mohun = Soma
5000. This makes total Of 500 900 already
subscribed to this important enterprise, and is
an indication, we take it, that as much more
may vet be raised in this way. Great credit is
due to the Committee on Collections for their
judicious carrying out of their well-matured
plan, which has already achieved such promising
results. They are doing this work thorou yhly
by calling upon all citizens of means, and when
persons whose names they desire are sick, or
away, or desire conference with partners or sug-
gest other obstacles well understood among
business men, they propose calls at future
day. But they are generally met with encom-
aging words and substantial help for project
which will benefit the whole community, and but
few men, even OF moderate means, refuse TO give
some aid. $780,. -. ...--... .-. .-
With the very large amount which it now
seems reasonable to believe can be raised in this
way, and subscription of half million dollars
by the city, the success of the enterprise would
seem to be assured beyond doubt, even with
out the expected contribution from the General
Government, which we may look for with more
confidence when we have clearly shown that we
do not rely upon it entirely, but mainly upon
our own efforts.

If they haven't got a whipping post out in ST.
Louis and NJ iiwaukee they ought to erect one in
each place forthwith, and dedicate them, re-
spectiyely, by peeling the hide of the brutal
father who forced his little daughter to practice
the .eats Of equilibrium by which she nearly
lost her life in the first named city the other
day, and by serving in the same manner the
managers Of the Milwaukee theater who under
took to light il, at the expense, it turned out
ct several human lives, with kerosene lamps.
Capital punishment would be better, doubtless;
1'ut that is almost too much to hope for in these
vegetarian days. A pillory would answer as a
compromise, if effectively used.

NEW YORK DRAWBACK FRAUD CAsE.-The
Investigation of the drawback frauds was con-
tinued in New York yesterday before Commits
sioner Osborn. The evidence having been given
in the cases of both Howard and Mulligan, it
was shown that the latter was virtually the firm
OF b. Nj. johnson q Co., and that Caldwell who
also has been spoken of in the matter, had been
heard to ask Mulligan to give him some facilities
to perpetrate fraud. johnson, who was a wit
ness, was apparently astounded when shown by
the District ATTORNEY check for fifty Thousand
dollars, payable to johnson or the sfirmn of
Muliigan, and said he knew nothing OF the
cheek. The case was adjourned till Wednesday
next.

Hunt, through whose efforts the seizure was
made, that the DEFICIENCIES in the payment of the
first five per cent tax the gross receipts of the

which amount will probably be paid, to avoid
civil suits, but such payment, if made will not
effect the prosecution of the case before United

R@- Superannuated across the street
comes down upon us pretty heavy in his
last week s issue, and uses what we think
pretty low language, which we do not care
to answer. 1t will be the aim Of the
PILOT not to indulge in such language,
and We therefore leave his smart talk
alone, and We think that our readers and
friends will coincide with US, that such Lam
guage is not worth noticing. If you want
to keep within the bounds OF wisdom and
common sense, Ed, and use language that
is fit to be used in a paper, then you may
count us as in for it; bat if you continue in
your present way of blackguardism, then
we do not care to bave any controversy
with you.
