FAIR WEEK.

The State Fair will open in earnest
to-day, and there is a prospect for
lively week. The two days OF last week
afforded the opportunity to get every
thing in apple-pie order, and there is
nothing now to do but to get right down
to business. Although the two days Of
last week that the Fair was open were
mainly days of preparation, still the
attendance was unusually large for the
opening days-a fact that gives encour-
agement to the belief that this is to be
most successful week. The weather
outlook is all that the management could
ask. the exhibit is attractive, and every
thing points to an exceptionally large
attendance On the grounds during the
entire week. The street Examinations
will begin in the city tonight, and our
friends from the country who have come
up to see US will receive that Old-time
welcome they have been accustomed to.
The freedom OF the city is theirs, and
we hope to see them enjoy themselves.

the time as ten knots, on which dis

No official measurements of the boats
had been made, and it even appears
that they had not been measured by
their respective owners. The Aurora
protested that an error of ten seconds
han been made in scoring their time,
which, if established, and the distance
sailed and the measurements of the
boats were correctly given, would en-
title her to the race by three seconds.

HIGH OCEAN WAVES
Do Considerable Damage to COney
Island Property.

New YORK, Sept 9.-The tide at Co
ney Island yesterday was the heaviest
this year and did considerable damage.
High waves from the ocean dashed
over the breakwaters in front of the
Manhattan, Oriental anil Brighton Beach
hotels. carrying everything before
them. The most serious damage was
done at Manhattan beach, particularly
in front of the Oriental hotel. Here
the guard-rails ON the bank of the beach
were washed away. and also a part OF
the bulkh at the end of the Oriental
hotel. A part of the new breakwater,
built in front of the Brighton Beach
hotel to prevent the waves from coming

SOME DON'T SEE 1T.
A Remonstrance Against Asph alt
on Park Avenue.

Some property owners along Park
avenue, who have more caution than
ready cash, are getting names to re-
monstrance against the recent vote of
the council to pave the street with
asphalt, and 1t really begins to look as
if a very formidable opposition to the
scheme would be aroused. The ex-
pense is what they are complaining of,
and it seems quite likely that tie reso-
luton ordering such paving will be de-
feated on a reconsideration. 1t was rep
resented to the committee on paving
and to the council in session last Friday
night that the opposition to the asphalt
pavement did not represent over 200
feet of property on the avenue, but this
proves to have been a slight exaggera-
ton, and good, loud howl of remon-
STRANGE is going up from certain points
along the popular residence avenue.

CHINESE REFORM

Possibly the sight of Japan taking

chunks of live civilization worked into

pretty much kicked out. Now it is
stated that the government has decided

A Nice Question to Come Before

A Nice Question to Come Before
the Grand Commandery.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The contro-
versy between Grand Commander
Roome and the grand commandery Of
the state of Iowa over the adoption of q
new ritual is one of the most important
questions that will come before the ap-
preaching triennial conclave for action.
The Iowa commandery declined to fol-
low Grand Commander Roome's order
for the adoption Of new ritual,
on the ground that it was
beyond his power to issue
such an order. ThereupOn the
grand commander declared the Iowa
knights to be in state of disloyalty
and rebellion, and interdIcting all tenn
plar intercourse with them by the
knights of other states. The Iowa
knights have made arrangements to at
tend the conciave next month, the
grand recorder writing that from 500 to
500 would be present from that state.
This coming to the knowledge of Grand
Commander ROome he has notified the
local committee of arrangements for
the parade to allow no Iowa command
cries in the procession. His order will
be obeyed by the Communicates, so that
no place will be found for the lowe
knights.

THE CYNIo AND THE BELLS.

There is a Hebrew on the hill,
VINO wants to keep the bells all still,
And fifty dollars pays per year,
Unto a congregation near,
To squelch their Sabbath morning riot,
That he may snooze in peace and quiet.
He argues that, in olden times.
The people had some need of chimes
To warn them when to sing or weep.
To tell them when to wake or sleep:
But watches now are common toys,
So wherefore kick up such noise!
The court house bells. some people say.
Make life burden, night and day;
The actors claim they cannot spout
With such racket raised without;
And divers erGnts. who ne'er are pleased,
Urge that the ehime in time be cheesed.-
'sTis Handel's music" saith the Doc,
And not me own, whereat We mock
Egad I'll shut ner off some time.
And leave her strike without We chime
Then we shall see Who'll lo1dest bray,

produced in this country by the BUR-
DELL-CUNNINGHAMc conspiracy in 1857.
1t is a singular coincidence that the
Judge who presided in the trial of that
case was the uncle of ROBERT RAY
HAMILTON, who is now mixed up in a
similar affair. Then, as now, bogus
baby figured conspicuously in the case,
the object of the conspIrators being the
same in both inStances-to provide a
fraudulent heir for a large estate. The
reform the GLOBE accomplished last
winter, by securing the passage of law
prohibiting baby farming, seems to be
needed in New York. The baby which
was palmed off upon Mr.. HAMILTON,
and which he really believed to be his
own. was procured at a baby farm in
New York city at a cost of SO, and
according to the statement of Inspector
BYRSEs is known to be the child of
parents who occupy as high position
socially as Mr.. HAMILTON did, and are
members of the select Four Hundred.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. s.-A collision
occurred Saturday night at Southeast
Bend, st. Clair flats, between the steam
barges Philip D. Armour, bound down
with a full cargo of corn, and
the Marion, coal laden, bound
up. The Marion struck the Armour
ON the starboard bow with great
force, sending the latter to the bottom
instantly. She lies in fifty feet OF

floated off. The crew all escaped, but
some of them had a close call. The

LIBRARY BOARD MEETING.
They Decide on the FJeIde Statue
and the Furniture.

At a meeting of the library board held
in E. M. Johnson's office in the Temple
court on Saturday, T. B. Walker, who
had been appointed to inspect the Fielde
statue and decide upon its availability
for the new library building, re-
ported. He had carefully inspected
the piece which is now being
completed in clay at Sculptor Fjelde's
studio at the Exposition, and recon-
mended its purchase for the niche over
the grand entrance on Hennepin ave-
nue.. The statue is heroic figure of
the Muse of History. AS soon as fin
ished it will be cast in bronze and in
stalled in its appointed place.
The contract for the furniture for the
new building was let to Bradstreet,
Thurber & Co. The contract amounts
to g, 800, and includes chairs, lounges.
tables, ETC., for the entire building. In
general, the furniture will be in oak
and brown leather, but the main read
ing room and the ladies' room are to be
furnished in carved mahogany.
The project of establishing branch
reading rooms in North, South and East
Minneapolis was discussed, and was
favorably considered by all members of
the board, but they concluded to take
no action in the matter until after the
opening of the building, which will be

PHASES OF LIFE,

The study rooms of the Luther semi
nary dedicated yesterday were opened
to the public, and the public took great
deal of interest in wandering through
them and examining the books ON the
shelves. The latter were all of heavy
nature, ranging from Channing's COM
pIete works to a standard concordance
of the Bible. In one Of the rooms
visitor, however, picked up
yellow covered volume which
did not look like Bible dictionary nor
vet like a German treatise on original
sin. He turned it face up on the table,
and there, horror of horrors, he read
two WORDS that have rung in the pulpits
for the last six months and been alluded
to with bitter sarcasm where two or
three theologianS are gathered to-
gether. The words were Robert Els

A curious incident at the dedication

THE EIGHTH WARD ELECTION.

The special election in the Eighth
ward tomorrow promises to be close,
even according to the calculations of
the most Jealous Republicans. A. w.
Paris, the Democratic candidate, is
personally more popular than his oppo-
nent, and has the prestige of having run
over 200 votes ahead of his ticket last
fall, while DR.. Hanson has never
mettle before. A leading Republi-
can of the ward admitted last
night that the election would
be close, and that the chances
of Republican success depended some
what upon over 1000 votes being cast.
''Paris," he said, ''is all right. The
only trouble with him is that ne is
Democrat. Ii he had not been, we
should have put him in the council be-
fore this" There are enough indie
pendent voters i'll the ward who care
nothing for party distinctions at bye
election to give Mr.. Paris a majority if
they will only turn out tomorrow.
