ADMIRAL ROGERS,
Of Alligator Park, Accused Of HI
Treating visitors.


Frederick Strsssner, tailor in the
employ OF Sam Slayer, called at the
ApPEAL Office last night to complain Of
what he declares the unwarranted be-
havior of Sergt. Rogers. He Gays he
walked into the square about noon
aud took seat on one Of the benches
which was not marked "For ladies
only" and In a few moments he was
approached by Rogers, who peremptor-
lily ordered him to get up, as the seat
was wanted for ladies. His attention
was called to the fact that the seat ives
unmarked, but he persisted, and upon
Mr.. Straasner's final refusal arrested
him. In this statement he ia borne
out by Mr.. August Halms, also a
tailor, both Of whom appear to be
quiet and gentlemanly. They add
that about the same time Rogers tried
to force coiored woman to move from a
seatehe had taken and assert that at the
time there were no ladies in the park.
Mr.. J. l.. Wood of West Point, and
Mr.. =. Levy OF Nashville, Tenn, also
complain OF having been treated with
groes discourtesy by the keeper OF
Court Square. 1t appears that these
gentlemen, unacquainted with the
customs OF the place, seated them
selves on benches which Rogers by
special decree has set apart for ladies.
On seeing them 80 seated Rogers ap.
preached them, and in his toughest
manner said: "Get off those seats,
they are reserved for ladies'; yez nave
not got any sense; yez must be from
Louisiana" They desire to know il
this is the way visitors rom other
cities are to be treated by men paid to
conduct themselves with courtesy to
all corners.

Opening OF Ihe Minneapolis Expo
slIlOn.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, August %
Blazing and breathless weather, an
uncountable crowd and enthusiasm
triumphing over all personal diecom'
fort marked the opening OF the lndu g.
trial Exposition here this afternoon.
A procession nearly a mile long started
from the West Hotel shortly after 2
o'clock, and its progress to the EXPOSE
ton building was an ovation in which,
seemingly, the entire population gave
acclaim. Telegraphic connection vas
made between the building and the
Minneapolis Office of the Western
Union, thence through Chicago, Cleve-
land and New York City with Upper
SaranacLske at 4:30 O'Clock, responding
to the pressure Of Mrs. CleVelaud's fin
ger many hundred miles away and
presumably in a cooler place, the ma
chiuery suddenly awoke into life, the
great steam whistle blew deafeninGly,
everybody cheered, the band played
and the Exposition wei open.

ROsecrans as a Fatalist.

san FRANCISCO Cal.
General ROsecrans was the most fear
less as well as the most peculiar man in
the powder business that I ever met
Some years ago he was experimenting
with nitro glycerine and chloride of pot
ash. He was also trying to make a new
kind Of percussion cap. Every afternoon
he would 60 out to the old stone quarry
and make experiments with dynamite
there, the mayor having given him per
mission to do so. He had taken quite
fancy to me, and he'd come around and
take me out with him. I never saw a
man experiment with explosives as care
lessly as he did, and as did not care to
be blown to pieces myself I kept warn
ing him Of the risk he kept mourning.
His only reply was, When a mans time
comes 1t comes He appeared to be a
fatalist, and would not believe that a PEI
son could be killed before it was allotted
for him to die. One day he had some
nitro glycerine in a pan and was doing
something with it. I knew that it would
explode IN the hot sun and said: aGen-
erals look out. That's going to explode"
He did not seem to care, and I warned
him again, but he kept on with his ex-
5aL-L1-SI-l7I &c l'ed-L---t5 ltldl Phrase OF ms
about a mans time coming only When It
was appointed he needed some tool
that was lying a short distance OF and
went over 10 get 1t. He was about
twenty or thirty feet away when the
nitro glycerine exploded 1t did not
phase him In the least. he remarked
without any emotion, well, that was
pretty close call and resumed his exper-
iments. 1t was a wonder to me how ne
ever escaped death out there"
