WANT 1T EXPLAINED.
People a Little Chary About Change
in License Granting
UNTIL THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT 1T.
Some Hewsy Chat Concerning of Interest
to Exposition GoerS.
EXCELLENT BAND PROGRAMME TO-DAY

A great number of delegates to the German
Catholic Congress visited the Exposition
Yesterday. 1t is understood, however, that
the really big crowds to come tonight when
an essentially German programme will be
rendered. Mr.. Innes has gone to the great
est yains to select good programme and
tbs grand fantasia " Melodies of
tie Fatherland " will doubtless
prove an overwhelming success
The announcement that the Exposition was
free to all orphans caused an amusing scene
last evening. An old gentleman OF about
60 years stroIled up to the doorkeeper and
demanded admission on the ground that he
was an orphan, and had been one for ~
years. 1t took time to persuade MIN tnat
he hardly came under the category.
Tbs Exposition Excursion Company has
announced that on application by the man
agement. the inmates of all charitable in
stitutions for children will be given free
trip on the steamer Nellie Hudson to DAVIS
Island Dam. Arrangements can be made
at the Exposition or 933 Penn avenue.
Boat riding has become one of the features
of a visit to the Exposition, and it is quite
the thing to take a trip on the steamer or
for a party OF few persons to skim down
and up the river in Dart, the little steam
launch.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Yesterdays voting topic at The DIS
PATCH headquarters, in the Brunswick
Balke-Collender Co.'s space, was: SHOULD
the Granting of LIQUOR Licenses be Placed in
the Hands of a CommiSsIon?" The vote was,
ayes, 81; noes. 90, showing that there is great
divergence of opinion relative TO sucn cnahge.
large number OF persons said they did not
want TO express an opinion on the sRoJect until
they knew how the commissioners were TO De
placed in their official positions, how many
there would be of them, something regarding
the methods to be pursued, etc.
A study of the votings in the remarks"
column is interesting. Some of the afhrma-
tive voting reasons given were proVlo-
heads are better than one Takes up too
much time of the Court and Will prevent
political fayoritism;" IF wisely selected by the
CitIzensn
Some of the negative reasons given were:
Commissioners too easily fixed" 1T is in good
hands now" "a commission is easily commits
stoned"
