NEW ORLEANS, la, Feb. %, 1885.

1t the Fair The gate money has also been |
great feature in the mauagemenrs f.
uauces owing TO its rapid increase.
Vice President elect Hendricks, Hon.
Carl Schurz aud Henry waterson were
among the noted arrivals in the city last
week. These prominent politicians ex-
pressed themselves very favorably as to the !
Exposition as a great show. As they leave
others take their places.
With the immensely increased arrival Of
visitors the past two weeks, the Exposition
"Ezchequer" is being daily repleted Con
,equeutly, whether congress comes to the
financial aij of the management or not, if
the people come aud drop in a sufBcieucy
of "half dollars"the machine may live
through the siege.
But there has been too much dissensiou
between the exhibitors and management
Tor the good of either, especially the latter.
Trouble began early in season by Chief Of
Installation Mullen coming in contact with
exhibitors about the placing Of goods.
From that time until now there have been
serious grievances on account Of the OBJ
uoxious oficiousness of Mr. Mullen, who
was denounced in public meeting and once
asked to resign. He has been uncouth and
discourteous to those who make the Expo
sition-the exhibitors-and particularly to
the foreigners, who Of all should receive
consideration. The last 'clatter" came
near being serious. E. NJ Hudson and
Samuel Mullen it seems had charge Of the
calling in Of temporary and the issue of
permanent passes. No one was ready to
wait on the exhibitors in regard thereto
and they were kept running from the down
town to the Exposition offices without avail,
and at last being refused admission, some
paid their entrance fee, but others resenting
the outrage forced their way in, and it was
said threats were made against the Expo
sition officials above named, aud could they
have been found it might have gone hard
with them. It is strange why such capri
cious officials should be retained it certain
ly Injuries the success of the Worlds Fair
, All the city press except the Times Demo-
crat, the Manngement's organ condemned
the actions of Mullen and Hudson towards
the exhibitors. Gross mismanagement is
declared by nearly everybody.
People visiting the Exposition should
take the Camp q Prytania or the st. Charles
street line of cars which will set them of
at Government building the best ploce to
begin a visit; thence to Main building or
any Of the many smaller but interesting
establishments within the grounds It is
- also important for strangers stopping in the
e city to deposit their money in the banks
and their railro ID tickets in the hotel safes
j or guard it carefully about their person. A
railroad official says there have been nearly
' a thousand return coupon railroad tickets
lost here already since the Exposition be-
gan. It is generally from carelessDess al
pockets are seldom picked. Let your peo
pie bear this injunction to look as vel
IS after the railroad papers as Uncle saml
e notes.
