The Fair Wednesday Night.

At the Fair the attendance has been
constantly growing and much more In
terest is manifested than during the first
few days. The sale of admission tickets
has been large for two or three evenings
past and unless the rush ceases addi-
t1onal ticket sellers will have to be Sc
cured. The young ladies running for
various prizes. have many friends, and
when the total lumber OF votes they
haze received is made public it will sur
prise all except the young ladies them
selves. Mc(4ill still leads Mayor Ames
i'll the gubernatoris( race by some fifty
votes, but this is no indicailo1l Of how
the contest will end ';Ille 'sb]iul
vote'' is what is going TO count, and the
mayors friends are confident that he
will win. The board Of managers Of the
orphan asylum complain OF the absence
of many wealthy residents of the various
parishes, who seem to manifest no inter-
est whatever in the SUCCESS or failure of
the fair, al q time when funds are abso-
]utely necessary to meet the expenditure
of building the new asylum. They ex-
pect to see them all do their duty before
the close of the fair. Last evening de-
licious beverage yclept Killarney pop
was offered for sale by bevy OF young
ladies' There is something in a name,
for despite the fact that it was 1nanufac-
tured in the sawdust city, the thirsty
wayfarers drink it with more than usual
relish because Of its Irish cognomen.

THE BEAM AND THE MOTE.
Why Matt Walsh Practiced Civil Service
Reform in His Office.

Respecting the sympathetic cry now
being raised by the Republican friends
Of W. A. James in consequence Of his
being removed by Matt Walsh, the fol-
lowing version of the affairwas given last
evening by Roger Vail: S'Mr. James is
undoubtedly nice man and is fully COM
petent TO Eli the office OF county treasur-
er, but his friends are doing Matt Walsh
an injustice for dispensing with his ser
vices. Notwithstanding the cry of civil
service reform on the lips of the Repub
licans. it is a we'll known fact that the
Democrat, Matt Walsh, was the first
county officer that ever practiced it
among the court honse ring. He not
only retained Mr.. James as his deputy,
but he increased his salary and paid bin
in full when he was sick and absent on
vacation. He had to employ other
men while Mr.. James was away, and it
cost q considerable sum. Now. Mr.
Walsh is conceded by Democrats and
Republicans alike to be faithful and
trustworthy officer Of Hennepin county,
and hence, like his predecessors In Office
ho is entitled to a reelection. MIR.
James, after being treated so we'll should
forego his political aspirations until
Matt has served his second term. Or
he should refraint at least, from election
eerlng while drawing his pay from the
man he was working against. He should
tender his resignation like man and
then go to workfor all he was worth. But
it comes with exceeding poor grace from
his Republican hackers to find fault
with Democrat who hod acted so liber-
ally to a man holding opposite political
convictions. Matt, { understand, did
not discharge James peremptorily,
but merely requested him to either at
tend to his clerical duties or retire to
devote himself exclusively to politics
Mr.. James retired and that is all there
is to it. The Republican fauIt-finders
can pee the beam in Democrats s eyes,
but are too blind, politically. to see the
mote in their own. "-St. Paul Globe

AN -
Irish-American Family Journal.

TUE IRISH STANDARD since its first issue mas
had a marvellous growth, Gnd the indications
are that it's future progress will still be more
phenomenal Its subscription lists are daily
growing larger; it's influence is making itself
more widely felt, and it is universally recog-
nized now as the leading Iris!l-American paper
of the West Thousands Of IFS readers and
scores of Its exchanges have repeatedly stated
this fact and its management tlatter them
selves that THE IRISH STANDARD is one OF the
best papers OF it's class printed in the English
language. Its editorials are always crisp and
opportune, it's political art cles and paragraphs
pointed and pungent its Catholic information

hensive and reliable, while it presents features
that are adapted to every rea er's taste.
ireland is making history every day that
pssscs now, and 1t is the dul: of the irish
American people to acq1,aint themselves fully
with .he story Of this memorable and mo-
mentous period Of her existence. II, no better
WAY can they do This than by reading THE IRISH
srANl,ANp. which presents every week care
f,llly.orepnred summary Of the progress OF the
Irish national cause; whose editorials on the
national question are everywhere commended,
and whose aim is tc foster the growth Of the
national spirit in lrisll-Anerican hearts. and
thus hasten tho day wbeu Ireland shall again
take her place among the nations OF the earth.
While paying especial attention to Irish
Au1erjcan matters. THE IR1su STANDARD never
allows any matter of public interest TO escape
its observations and itpays particular attention
to the interests of the labocing classes, in HON
promise of this country. Thoroughly Catholic
IN tone, it does not obtrude its religious pre-
ferences, but stands always ready to defend it's
belief. The duty of Catholic paI ents to pro-
vide their children with good, wholesome
Catholic reading, and the obligations Catho-
lies in general are under Of supporting their
own press. have been so often and so torcibly
stated by Catholic councils and pastors that
there is no necessity Of repeating them here.
The late Baltimore Council WAS very explicit
Father Damer, the distinguished Jesuit, says:
1.-The Catholic press is a power for C0thocity,
and every Catholic worthy Of the name should
SUPPORT it. Therefore, get a Catholic paper
into your house, and your SONS and daughters,
by pcr,sing it, will become better citizens an':
better Catholics"
Catholic papers published. and being desirous
OF atl,ling to its constantly increasing pstrop-
age, and of making its influence ,nore widely
felt. and its worth still better known. the pub
Usher trusts that it will receive appreciation,

their friends and acquaintances with view OF,
Inducing those individuals to become regular

TIE GROWING COTTON.
\ Marked Change in Crop Condi-
tions During August.

\ Marked Change in Crop Condi-
tions During August.
The August cotton report to Brad.
streets shows the progress OF the crop
from July 81 TO Aug. "a. The prospects
on Aug. "a were not so favorable for the
gathering of an average crop as they
were at the same time last year, except
in the Carolinas. Florida. Arkansas aud
Tennessee. The lateness of the present
season, however, makes the ultimate out.
turn, liable as the crop is TO great and
sudden changes, matter OF some doubt.
The late date of picking, as compared
with last year, is shown by the summary
table. The details as to the States snow
that the warm dry weather following a
season Of abundant moisture was instru-
mental in causing a favorable change IN
the CarOlnas, Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama, from all of whom ''fair'' report
comes. In Mississippi also crop cOndi-
tiOns are fair, while In Tennessee they are
almost good. In Texas the drought had
the effect of lowering greatly the pros
poets of the crop, and they are placed now
at less favorable than those at the like
period last year. From Louisiana and
Arkansas a more favorable report comes
than from Texas, the ruling conditions
practically beng similar, only with less
intensity,
The usual accompaniment OF dry. hot
weather, shedding and rust are present
to a great degree in Texas, and to a cor
respOndingly less degree in the other
States mentioned. The rapid recupeFa-
tion shown in the eastern half OF the belt
from the effects of the bad condition pre-
viousiy ruling was in many cases mat
ter OF surprise. No doubt much ground
was lost in the ''wet belt' this year, but
it is a matter OF fact that the crop in this
section is now in better condition, COM
paratiVely speaking, than it is in the sec
ton which was not thus troubled. As
was shown by the last report, the effects
caused by abundance OF rain are much
easier to overcome than if the opposite
were the case.

THE END PREDICTED.
A Dead Woman Comes Back to Life
and Prophesies the Millennium.

A Dead Woman Comes Back to Life
and Prophesies the Millennium.
A gentleman from Pennington, Liberty
county, was in the city yesterday, and
reported that the colored people out there
are greatly wrought up over the peculiar
circumstances connected with a negro
woman's death. The woman had been
sick for some time, and late one after
noon about week ago she died, or at
least those who were present had every
reason to believe that she did, and they
had her laid out as bona tide corpse.
The friends OF the dead woman were SIT
ting around in the room discussing the
good qualities Of the departed, one with
that feeling and solemnity in keeping
with the occasion, when suddenly the
supposed corpse was seen to move rest
lessly Time or two and then assumed q
sitting posture. The mourners rushed
out of the house frightened half out OF
their wits.
Alter remaining out some time two or
three OF the bravest among them mustered
up courage TO approach the house. When
they had come within speaking distance
the woman called 10 them to come in.
that she had something to say to them.
With fear and trembling they entered
and the woman told them that she had
been dead, but that she had come back TO
give them warning. The warning was
That the world would come to an eud on
sept %. After making this awful pre-.
diction she said that she would be with
them until 8 O'clock the next morning,
when she would leave them forever. She
asked them all to get ready for the final
winding upon Sept. 90, and to be prepared
to meet her ON that day. She was pune
tual to the minute as to her promise to
leave them at 0 O'Clock the following
morning, and died precisely at that hour.
All this occurred few days before the
earthquake, and the coming OF this was
full and complete proof to the negroes
that the prediction was true. They regard
the earthquake as torerunner OF the
eVcnttul Sept. 30
The gentleman who narrated the story
saws that the widest excitement prOvaile
among the negroes, and that they are
preaching and praying day and night, and
THAT they have constant relays OF preach
ers, aud as soon as one is exhausted an
other is put up in his place.

Although Savannah has bad earthquake
shocks every day for week, there is still
goodiy number who are not yet used TO
them. Had Il stranger in this part Of the
country been passing along the Bay at
4:47 p. IN. Yesterday he would likely have
wondered why tue people rushed to the
doors in such an excited manner.
To anyone walking along the street the
shock was not perceptible, but it shook
UP the buildings and brought out the
clerks and heads OF firms at double quick.
IT was an undOubted shock, but it was an
easy sort of one of the kind that people
ought to get used to, it they ever get used
10 any. Those VINO were in buildings and
felt The shock differed in their statements
about 1t.
Some thought 1t much harder than 9th

Trem0rs were reported TO have occurred
about 3 a. N. and IL a. m. There is no
doubt but that the disturbance is getting
less appreciate every day. When night
came on the sky threatened storm, but
it turned out TO be only a squat.
All OF the tents are not yet folded, and
wagons were moved out into the streets
again after nigntfali. The probabilities
for to-day are that there will be local
rain. The atmospheric trough in the
Gulf filed up yesterday, and no sign OF
general storm could be discovered any
where last night. The highest tempeTa-
ture during the day was - deg, and the
lowest was II. The wind was not near
TO high as on the day previous. local
rain for to-day is not certain, but the In
locations poin that way.
The work of repairing the damage
caused by the earthquake is going on
over the city. In almost every street
ropes are stretched across the sidewalks
TO keep people away from shaky walls and
topping chimneys. Bricklayers are busy
and will be for several days. The princl-
pal danger to pedestrians is from falling
chImneys. On many buildings he bricks
are loosened and the chmneys are all
ready to fall.
