IT WAS CHILDREN'S DAY.
The Little Ones Went Wild Over
the Big Show.

Yesterday was children's day at the
Exposition. The little people were
looked after in the way of having spe-
cial programme prepared for them, and
they seemed to appreciate the effort that
had been made to give them good show.
There were hundreds of them swarm
ing over the building soon after the
doors were opened in the afternoon
Before the evening came the number
had been swollen to thousands. 1t IS
safe to say that they enjoyed the show
even more than their older companions
did. They fairly ran riot through the
building. Not nook or corner es-
capped their prying eyes. They rambled
all over the floors from top to bottom,
and explored everything that gave
promise of hiding something Curl
Gus. The Mexican band sand
the Sanford sisters orchestra had
prepared special programmes for the
little ones and not single number fell
upon unappreciative ears. The per-
formers were greeted with applause
such as seldom comes from adults.
Then tile children, after listening to
the music, began to ramble again. They
admired the little fishes that wriggled
about in the fish exhibit, watched the
Japs, tasted ali the soups being
served out by judiciOus advertisers,
hunted for the DOGGY man" in the
cave beneath the home of the
cliff jewellers, and returned to
the lower floor. There was where they
went wild. The two free swings were
surrounded all the afternoon by crowd
of chattering youngsters that talked as
if they never would have chance to
talk again. The ponies we're the special
delight of the kids" They rode on
horseback and drove until it seemed
that the ponies would never get
a rest. They were not satisfied
with merely riding and driv-
ing; they had to, most of them,
pet the ponies and bestow a kiss at part
Ing. OF course, the children had to
bring a good many children of larger
growth with them. The attendance was
larger than OIL any previous afternoon.
Last night the attendance was still
larger. The management is much en-
cOuraged by the patronage the EXPOSE
ton is receiving. 1t is much larger
than for any corresponding period here
tofore.
The exhibits are now all about in
place, and by Monday morning there
will not be foot of vacant space in the
whole building.
Reserved seats for "The Siege of
Vera Cruz" will be on sale during the
Exposition at the Century Piano COM
pany's office on South Fourth street.
The crowd and crush at the building
can be avoided by purchasing tickets
before going over the river.
The Japanese village is constantly
surrounded by large crowd anxious to
see the deft Japs engaged at their Vari-
Gus avOcatiOnS.
The three famous pictures owned by
T. B. Walker, of Napoleon in his Cor0-
nation Robes, Empress Josephine and
Empress Maria Louise, attract much
merited attention. The settees before
these pictures are constantly occupied,
while the lovers of art stand around
gazing at these masterpieces.

MILLINERY NOTES.

Fashion has been speedy of late years,
In making known her intentions in ref
erence to approaching seasons. Those
interested are not left long in doubt as
TO her prospective DEGREES. By mid
winter there are inklingS of what is
proposed for spring and summer wear;
and with midsummer there come i'm
pOrtatiOnS which clearly define what
NAV be expected to obtain in autumn
and winter This, true as concerning
all department of the wardrobe, is par
ticularIy true in millinery. The hat
and the bonnet have hardly lost their
pristine freshness before the wearer is
given to appreciate the fact that the
headdreSSeS of the present will soon be
things of the paSt-their shape and
style outre'. if not ridiculous, with won
der that they were ever considered
handsome or becoming; for all things
pertaining to dress calculated to pro-
woke criticism, there is nothing like the
hat or bonnet of several seasons ago.
The change IN style may be so msidi-
Gus and so gradual as scarcely to seem
perceptible from one season to the next,
but changes there are, and after year
or two they become so apparent as to
create surprise.
The shapes in hats and bOnnets for the
fall are on the plane in which the shapes
for the summer appeared. The hats OF
the larger sizes are all more or less fiat
in effect, although hardly as fiat as some
of those winch came out latest for the
existing season. The low square crown
with the wide brim fiaring in front and
turned up at the back is varied by
shapes with oval crowns, oval conlcal
and cOnical crowns, with tie flarlng
brim likewise turned up behind, and the
brims so disposed are varied by brims
that are turned up and voluted at the
back. while many caprices of adjust
ment may be seen in eccentric hats.
From present indications hats of excess
i've size will hardly be as popular as
they have been in rare instances during
the summer. On the contrary, there
seems a decided tendency to small hats,
in modification of the tuTban, walking
hat and other small shapes, while the
greatest favor will possibly be attached
to hats OF medium size. The sailor hat,
which gained such favor during the
summer, promises to become craze for
early fall wear. 1t is shown in all con-
ceivable materials and styles. We illus
trate very pretty model of this shape,
produced by the Glass block millinery
department.

This model is called theVassar or two

trimmed with band of white velvet with
two flat loops in front and high loop of

Tips.
Plain velvets will doubtless be the prevail
ing material for fall millinery.
That jet trimmings of all descriptions will
play an important part in the makeup of all
stylish millinery is an assured fact.
Sailor hats with fiat brim made of hatters'
plush are very natty.
Two of the prettest hats brought out for
children are the Pirate "a hat with fiat crown
and brim caught up on three sides with mill
tary pon-pon, and the Torpedo, similar to
Tam O. Shanter. only of felt.
Wings, aigrettes and pon-pons are very
stylish.
Small tips will be used in profusion on both
hats and Donnets
Bows made of ostrich and coque feathers
are extremely fashionable for both theater
and street wear.

locomotives, regularly built, with
boilers capable of carrying 125 pounds
of steam, with whistles. bells and
all other appliances. The double tracks
are laid directly across the stage, where
the engines are set up ready for their
fierce flight. The boilers are fired mp
at the beginning of the performance,
requiring some little time to generate
the required pressure of steam. A back
and front panorama is used to give a
full and perfect effect of the high rate
OF speed run. Then, when all is ready,
the scene opens on the two fast-racing
engines, with drivers whirling swiftly
ing. and all the noise peculiar to the
swiftly running locomotive. This is un-
doubleday one of the greatest senSa-
tional Scenes of the age, and Mr.. Sta

other efforts made in this direction.

tiers into Texas. Trouble arose. The
act of prohibition was openly evadeG.
At length in the spring of 1888 the citi-
Zens of Texas held a convention and
adopted a constitution as a separate
state. The central government of Mex
leo determined to Subdue the TevOlted
state. Gen. Santa Anna took the field
in person with 5000 troops. The 21st
of April, 1886, Santa Anna was defeat
ed and made prisoner by force COM
manded by Gen. Sam Houston. upon
the banks of the San JacintO. Shortly
after this the independence of the Re
public of Texas was acknowledged by
the government of Mexico.
The young Texan republic now be-
gan to look towards the United States.
The Americans who had cast their fort
unes there had a secret longing to be
sheltered once more by the flag of stars.
The Mexican government officially in
formed the American minister in Mex

the passage of an act for the iDcOrpora-

passed the limit, and confidential orders
were issued from the war Office of the
United States to Gen. Taylor, then in

to put himself into communication at

after he should be advised that the
Texas convention had acceded to the
terms of annexation, to employ his

Rev. Gulian L. Morrill's last slum-

y. Il. O'COnnOr Tells what Demo-
Gratis Are Doing There.
W. H. Donahue had visitor from the
neighboring state Of Wisconsin yeSter
day to whom he took delight in show
O'Connor. Mr.. O'Conuor is the attor-
ney general of the state of WiscOn-
sin. He was elected year ago
when the Democrats made up their
minds to ''turn the rascals out" He
had the honor of receiving the highest
number of votes cast for any one on the
ticket save the candidate for governor.
Mr.. O'ConnOr is spending few days in
Minneapolis enjoying rest. When it
is stated that the Wisconsin Democrats
turned the rascals out, it is no figure of
speech. Some of the work that has
occupied Mr.. O'Connor since he
took charge of the attorney generals
Office demonstrates that. He has begun,
in the name of the state, no less than
nine suits against former treasurers of
Wisconsin to compel them to disgorge
interest on public funds that they had
pOcketed without so much as ''by
your leave" The aggregate amount
sued for is little over a half-million,
quite a tidy little sum of money that
would come handy in any state.
"When we began this move to collect
the money" said Mr.. O'Connor, 1.-THE
Republican papers said that it was all
campaign bluff. They have not word
to say now. Those treasurers were
pocketing the money that belonged to
the state, and we are out to collect it
now. We are going to succeed, too.
One of them who did not get as much as
some others has offered to settle the case
for So, ZOO. That shows where we stand.
Since the Democratic administration en-
tered Office in Wisconsin eight months
ago our treasurer has paid into the state
treasury over $4,000 in interest. OF
that amount 900 belonged to the
little red school house you have heard
so much about. So you see that while
the Republicans were talking so much
about the little red school house in the
last campaign, they were stealing the
money that belonged to that same little
school house, and stealing it in large
Jumps.
"How is politics going down our way?
Well, on the presidential question,
every one is for Cleveland. Our state
will send solid Cleveland delegation
to the national convention. l think he
will stand good chance of carrying the
state, too. We are going to elect our
state ticket, and believe we can pull
the national ticket through"

WITH A HANDSOMER MAN.
Mrs. A. E. Clafiin Has Eloped
With a Hotel Clerk,

With Hotel CLERK.
The people who have been spending
the summer at the Lake Park hotel are
busily discussing the supposed elope-
ment OF a married woman, who has
been spending the season at the hotel,
with former clerk of the house. The
woman in the case is no other
than the wife of A. E. Claflin,
a prominent real estate man with
offices in the Bank of Minneapolis
building. The young man who alien
ated her affections from her husband is
r. E. Mills. Mills was night clerk at
the hotel early in the season. He was
discharged because he was too fond Of
dancing when he should have been at
tending to his duties as clerk. Mrs.,
Clafiin was the cause of the young mans
dismissal. 1t was his attention to her
that intertered with his duties. Shortly
after Mills left the Lake Park,
Mrs. Claflin left ostensibly to visit
her parents in Arlington, Mass.
She took her little boy with
her. Mr.. CIafin learned of the
flight, and began to look for the child.
He has recovered the little one, and is
not anxious to see Mrs. Claflin light
away. Mills was flashy young man
Of uncertain origin. Mrs. Claflin has

she is wealthy, and that she furnished

United States and Mexico. Imperisha-
bic renOwn accompanied the brave
deeds of the men whose courage and
skill brought honor to their country's
flags. The names of Scott, Taylor, Wool
and Worth, Twiggs, Quitman, Connor
and Perry. and the brave officers and
men who fought with them, are cher
ished with pride by the people of the
United States. 1t is in a measure with
a view to recall to memory the deeds of
daring accomplished by the heroes of
the past that page is taken from the
history Of the Mexican war, and repre-
SentatiOn of a stirring event of that
period is offered in the ''Siege of Vera
Cruz"
For the summer of 1890 an entirely
new departure was made in the annual
spectacle and fireworks display at Man
haitian Beach. In years gone by these
annual exhibitions were confined to old
world subjects. The great fire of Lon
don, the fall of Sebastopol, the burning
of Moscow, the bOmbardment of Alex
andria, last days of Pompeii, night in
Pekin were the principal spectacleS.
Last season James Pain & Sons, the
OriginatOrs and producers of the spec
tacles, conceived the idea of Offering to
the public a subject entirely new, and
one which could not fail to interest all
classes of Americans, as it appealed to
their national pride, in illustrating as it
does the bravery. skill and daring of the
army and navy of the United States III
the Mexican war. The episode chosen
in that eventful period in which the
forces of the United States and Mexico
were arrayed against each other was
The Siege of Vera Cruz" The sub
ject has been brought direct from Man.
haitian Beach to Minneapolis, and will
be presented here upon a much larger
and every way grander scale than when
originally produced last season.
1t may not be out of place here to take
a brief glance into history and at the
causes that led to the war between the
two countries.
After the cession of Louisiana to
France and its purchase by the govern
ment of the United States in 1903, it was
claimed by the latter that the Rio
Grande del NOrte formed the southwest
ern boundary of the acquired territory.
This claim was never acknowledged by
Spain. In January, 1921, Moses Austin,
a citizen OF the United States, obtained
permission TO settle in Texas a colony
of his cOuntrymen. On the 4th of JAN
uary, 1928, the Mexican congress passed
a national colonization law. which was
approved by the Emperor Iturbide,
authorizing Austin to proceed with his
settlement. After the
Overthrow of the Emperor,
this decree was confirmed by the first
executive council by the special direc-
ton of the Mexican congress. Texas
increased in prosperity and influence,
and the Spanish Inhabitants became in
censed and jealous over the progress
the Texans were making. The Next
can congress, in 1880, passed law pro-
hibiting the admission of American set
