Of the artist. the one that has told the man

on the little ''chrOmO" of Minnehaha. every

immortal squib on the falls, this man was
there. There were not as many of him as
there viii be tomorrow. still he was there.
The exhibition of side shows and the
booths was very complete yesterday. and
the enterprise in this direction was so great
that if there isn't a big crowd at the
grounds during the week there'u be a whole
army of bankrupt boothkeepers. These
boothkeepers had the same pear with the
bruised side down that they had some CEN
turies ago, and it was possible here
to buy a nickel cigar for ff-
teen cents lust as often
as it used to be. But at the same time
everybody took to these places just as nat
uraIly as they used to, and it would have

because II wasn't black with the visiting
popuIace. jumped at the conclusion
that nobody had come up to
see the much talked OF fair.
II the remark was indicative Of any disaD
pointmeut, it was nevertheless true, and
that fact in connection with the unusual
amount of preparation that was to be done
when the first day dawned, led the manag-
eTs to feel comparatively well satisfied with
the showing OF the opening day. While
the buildings were completed ac
cording to schedule the track in
fine condition, the details all
arraigned apparently, still there was
vast amount of work 10 Go before the order
and dignity that should prevail ut 4 Mime
sofa fair could be made apparent. But the
management was on hand early
and the state fair was opened
to the public at the hour named.
The management expresses itselves salts
fed with the attendance the first day and
is in high spirits over the exhibits. The
secretary said last night that the stock ex-
hibit was already fully twice as large as
was ever seen. at any Of the Minnesota
state fairs and little more would come i'll
to-day. H was more than satisfied with
the showing in other lines.
Great work the managers of the aSSOcia-
tiOn have done during the past three months,
and one doesn't get an adequate idea of it
until he has gone through the main build

ready and disorder, which was quite dis
couraging. Much OF this, as has already
been explained, IS due to the delay on the
part of the exhibitors themselves. Busy
hands worked wonders, however, and by
evening the building was really in pre-
sentabIe condition, and by noon to-day will
be pronounced about complete.
In the center is the big Minnesota exhibit
from the New Orleans exposition. This is

for first day races, and attracted number

The Cattle Exhibft.

The cattle department of the stock ex-
htbit excels by far anything ever before
attempted in the state. There are over
500 animals in this department., and the
character and value of them all is much
above the average seen at state fairs. In
numbers the H0lStein strain outranks any
other breed, there being something over 200
OF them in the cattle stables IN point of
number the Shorth0rn Durhams come next
and constitute very fine exhibit. PreSi-
dent Hills POlled Angus herd attracts the
greatest attention, and is most magnifi-
cent display of this celebrated Scotch stock.
The balance of the stock exhibit is about
evenly divided between Devonshires, Jer-
seys and GaIIoways. The latter very much
resemble the Polled:Angus, and probably
half of the visitors at the stock
barns will make this mistake unless
a keeper is handy to point out
the differences. There are ffty-eight ex-
hibitOrs OF prize cattle, besides the sheep
and hogs, which are not as yet very large
in numbers but are extremely .creditable
The four large cattle barns are completely
filled. and an overflow of some twenty-five
head has found accommodation in a shed
only partially completed, in the rear of Barn
4. This shed will accommodate fifty head,
and, together with a second one of equal
proportions will be ready to accommodate
the influx expected to-day The
exhibit is attracting considerable at
tention and pr0vokeS much commentator.
The large number of Holsteins among this
class Of entries is significant, when 1t is re-
membered that seven years ago there was
not an animal Of this brood in the state.
For all general purposes the Holstein is be-
coming very popular in the Northwest.
They combine the beauties of all the best
mixers and butter cows. while the larger
frame and fine bones make splendid basis
for beef cattle.

shows about everything that can
be made of rubber, and has as a special at
traction the automatic cigaret smoking
dude which has provoked so much attention
in the city The P. H. Kelly Merchantile
company emphasizes among other things
its importation OF tea from China
In the center of its exhibit is a booth made
of tea-chests, enclosing "a mimic ocean of
tea leaves with the bilIows waving as if
lifted by the breezes of the Pacific. On
them floats model Of ship, symbolical,
though to be sure not fac simile Of the
Isabel.
Elaborate displays are made by the
dealers in decorative goods. John
Mathels makes bewildering
display Of rugs, carpetings, curtains, etc.
Near him is Auerbach. Finch & Van Slyke,
ina booth decorated with elegant patterns of
wall paper. Mannheimer Bros. have their
exhibit in a glass case, displaying the
choicest of their wares. Lindeke, Ladd &
Co. show dry goods and laceS, their exhibit
surrounding very pretty landscape in Oil.
Lampher, Finch & Skinner make a good
showing of fur goods, the curiosities of the
display being two live i.aar cubs and
skins cured and hand-painted by the In
dians. Among the G lass and crockery
shown by Craig, Larlin & Smith are nu-
merous very choice and beautiful specimens
Of glassware. Noyes Brothers & Cutler
make an in teresting but ghostly showing
of skeletons and surgical instruments, with
more pleasing specimens CT the notions
usually sold in drug stores. j. Dyer &
Bro. have large display of musical instru-
ments arranged in tasteful designs. One
of the
MOST PLEASING EXHIBITS
in the building is that Of the Ramsey county
reform school, consisting Of sIeds, wheel
barrows, ETC., well-made and nicely hand
painted, with also specimens of tinware.
The exhibit which will please the ladies
much viii be that Of A. Oppenheimer &
Co., of st. Paul, showing the latest styles
in millinery.
Other exhibits which are worth more ex-
tended mention are those OF the ST. Paul

First Heat-The horses got away well
together at the first trial, but Brick started
To run soon after leaving the wire. lie
was i'll the lead, however, and soon took
his feet again. Cricket followed him closely
and soon after they had left the first quarter
caught him, and it was a very pretty race
for irst place until the horses disappeared
under the hill. When they appeared again
Bnck had good lead, Cricket second and
Thomas third, in which order they finished,
Fearnaugnt being distanced.
Second hGat-In this heat there was
fair start, Cricket little in the lead,
closely pushed by Brick. Thomas followed
and Isis broke early in the heat, falling
h0pelessly in the rear. At the quarter
there was nothing to choose between Brick
and Cricket, each gaining small and brief
advantage alternately. AS they went out
OF sight Brick began to lead, and when they
came IN vision again it was evident that
he had been doing good trOtting for he was
three lengths ahead. Seth Thomas was
putting in his too Icks and closely pushed
the leader, finishing second, Cricket last.
Time, 2:3O1I.
Third Heat-After one score a start was
made, Cricket triie in the lead. She
broke, however. and lost her advantage,
which she never regained. Thomas and
Brick kept even, the latter leading a trihe
at the half mile which lead he kept until
the end of the heat. At the half mile
Cricket was four or i've lengths behind and
still losing. On the nomestretch Bricks
advantage was increased TO TWO lengths,
and he won easily in 2:37, Cricket coming
IN third on a run and very much distressed.

SOME weeks ago the Inter Mountain pub
lished a sensational article telling at great
length and with disgusting detail how one
Mollie Hite, a pupil in u convent at Cleye.
land, Ohio, was compelled to fee because
of the improper advances made to her by
one OF the priests. The Mother Superior OF
the .Ursuline Convent, at Cleveland,
promptly denies the vile Islander against an
hoaored institution, and u holy priesthood
in a card reading as follows: 'It is stated
that a person named Mollie Hite, arrested
in Pittsburg, Pa, says she was the inmate
OF a convent on Euclid avenue, Cleveland,
O., whence she escaped under romantic cir
cumstances, etc. In reply, permit me to
say hat as the Ursuline Conventis the only
institution OF the kind on Euclid avenue, l
should know something about Mollie Hite.
But as no such person has ever been an in
mate of this house, / can only give Il denial
to the whole story, and request, that in
justice to our house and school, you will
give this denialto the public through the col-
umns OF the Leader. l would further add
that we keep nc boarders or dodgers in our

Sentinel OF Portland, makes the following
demand: Gin justice we ask

THE Dexter, Maine, Eastern State, of a
recent date, publishes the following: "Mr.
j. NJ. Patten, formerly connected with the
office OF the %Skowhegan Reporter, and after
wards employed in the Sentinel office at
Waterville, went west a year or two since,
and he has sent sa copy OF the BUTTE
DAILY MINER, published at Butte City,
Montana, 1t is a large, n%ine-column folio,
and contains a full report Of the proceedings
OF the Montana Press Association, which
we have read with much interest. The
historian gives a sketch OF the papers in
the territory, dead and alive, and he has
evidently performed his duty in a thorough
and impartial manner. 1t is only about
twenty years ago that the first printing
material, even on the smallest scale, was
taken into Montana, and the first paper
was established there at about the same
time. Ii the DAILY MINER is a sample of
the other papers, journalism has made
great advancement in the territory in the
last two decades"

IT is a most fortunate thing for Miss
Cleveland from a literary standpoint that
she is the sister of the President. It is said
that she will make $4,000 out OF her book
George Eliot and Her Poetry" which is
much more than George Eliot made by all
the verses she ever wrote. Upon intrinsic
worth alone, the profits would probably
not have exceeded several thousand dollars.
The fact that she was the sister of the
President and the mistress of the White
House made her a very snug fortune.
The country got away with nearly TO-
OOO, 900 gallons of distilled spirits during
the last fiscal year, 10000, 900 barrels of
malt liquors and 2O,OOO,OOO gallons of
wine. In the consumption OF all this booze
many a town was painted Il deep carmine,
many a fortune was wrecked, many a
home desolated and many a heart broken.
The Government has received large returns
in taxes upon this liquor, but the States
were compelled to pay triple the sum for
the maintenance of the paupers and con-
yicts whom this food Of rum created.

The new system of checking up the bust
ness OF each local land Office is proving q
great success and is shaking up the bones
OF the land offices. Instead of sending the
inspectors hither and thither to look after
isolated cases OF fraud brought to the at
tention of the Office, and having the time
of the inspectors frittered away in expen-
sive travel, COMMISSIONS Sparks a few
weeks ago adopted a new plan for the work
OF these officials. which is being carried out
with astounding results. A special from
Washington, explaining the new system,
says the inspectors take one township at a
time, examine every entry without ex-
ception. and ascertain ifeach individual en-
try made has complied strictly with thepro-
visions OF the laws relating to homestead,
presumption, timber culture, mineral claim,
etc. This lew system is a virtual "clean
sweep" and the result is that many hun
dreds OF false claims are swept away and
the land restored to the puplic domain.
The land office officials state that 80 per
cent. of all entries in New Mexico will be
held for cancellation, and that the Devils
Lake Dak) district is reeking with fraud
and perjury. They also say that in Kansas
and Nebraska fully 70 per cent. OF all land
entries are crooked and will be cancelled.
Colorado is about as bad. and altogether
throughout the entire West not so per
/ cent. of the unprotected land entries arc free
from fraud.

IT Is going hard with Senator Teller these
days. Not only are the clouds darkenins
about him, but his friends and confidential.
agents are made to suffer. The Commits
sioner OF the General Land Office has refused
to issue a commission to Major A. e. Nc.
kinzie because the latter was the coniden.
tial agent of Mr.. Teller in the preparation
and consummation OF the many crooked
land transactions under the former admin
istration Of the Interior Department. Nc
Kinzie, under Teller, was Chief of the Special
Agents Department Of the Land Office.
When Teller went out the Major was re-
moved, but was afterwards given a subor-
dinate place-a timber agency. Mr.. Teller
was interested in keeping him in the Land
Office if possible. There is no doubt that
his removal will cause the ex-senator no
little Inconvenience.

The venerable Arch Bishop Lamsy, OF
Santa Fe, has resigned his Episcopal office
to the regret OF his people. He is a very
old man and was comfortably situated at
Santa Fe. He had a coadjutor to relieve
him from the heavy burdens OF his office.
He was Bishop of Santa Fe for more thar
thirty-five years and his mission-work at
various times covered the territory now
included in Wyoming, Kansas, Arizona and
Colorado, rs well "a New Mexico. No man
is more highly respected and esteemed-by
Protestants and Romanists alike-than
this venerable divine, who has now laid
aside his burdens.
