Indians Who May Drink Gin.

In the case in the United States court yester-
day in which the government was plaintiff and
Grant Glenn defendant the jury was instructed

MUST CARRY a WHITE LIGHT.
Even the Smallest Craft Is Subject to
the Rule.

1t is not generally known that every boat,
no matter OF what class or size, Is compelled 20
carry white light at night. Only boats of five
tons registered net tonnage are compelled to
register at the custom-house, and Il was gener-
ally believed that the law did not apply to other
than registered craft, but Deputy Collector
Mckenzie said yesterday that section 4,233 of the
Revised statutes of the United States, covering
the point, applies TO everything atioat, but has
not been strictly enforced heretofore. The o5
ders are that it be enforced hereafter, and In
speetor thompson says he will see that il is OBJ
served or he will probably be in possession of
small fleet himself III a short time, as owners Of
small boats will forfeit them rather than pay the
500 line imposed for violation of the law.

Raising the Virgil Price.

The Union Pacific company sent crew OF
men to raise the wreck OF the tug Virgil Price
yesterday but Captain Price refused to let the
men go to work, fearing that after the tug was
raised the company would get the best of him
in the adjustment OF the loss. Later on, how
ever, he changed his mind and gave Port Cap
tain Rathbone permission TO go ahead. The
work will be begun this morning.

Why make it so small that 1t requires
unusual care and keen eyesight to read
il? Why make it 50 complicated that
no human being but its maker can de-
cipher it? Why sprawl it all over
check or letter sheet? This writing oil
a signature is not a small matter with
those whose correspondence reaches
thousands of letters daily We have
frequently seen all the force in an Of
fee spend half an hour to decipher "a
signature which should have been writ
ten so as to be read at a glance. Some
foolishIy entertain the idea that an in-
tricate signature is less easily forged,
when the truth is that one that is plain
and bold is extremely hard to copy. As
examples of what 4 signature shorld
be. study those of George Washington,
John Hancock, Hon. Hamilton Fish.

ace Greeley's signature for a model.

THE GREATEST YET.

The Worlds Fair Mt Chicago Will be the
Greatest Event of the Kind that Has
Yet Occurred-Thc Result OF the DELHI
eratiOns of the Committee on Awards
President Palmer Says Everything will
he Ready on Time-Nearly Every Nation
VIII he Represented.
WAsIiIxGIGS; Nov. c0--It will cost
about 500. 900 to make the awards at
the Worlds Columbian exposition.
This is the result of the labors of the
committee on awards, which closed its
session in this city Wednesday after
noon. The report will he submitted to
President Palmer in Chicago next week:
President Palmer OF the board OF
control, is in a happy frame of mind,
and is confident that congress will
make the additional appropriation of
s., 100000 SO necessary to make the
exposition a success. Chicago. he says.
has done all she agreed to do in this
mat ter, and he denies quite vigorously
the statement that this increase Is
necessary BECAUSE Of hsr failure to
keep her promise.
'.This additional s5,O0JCId is neces-
sary because of a change in the plans
and a subsequent enlargement of the
scope of the exposition. We wish to
make this exposition the greatest the
world has yet seen. There are many
exhibits of great historical value that
will not be sent here by foreign gov
ernment. 1t is proposed to have an
exact reproduction of the home OF
Columbus and many of the buildings IN
existence during his time of life, and
hlso scene of the landing place OF
Columbus on the shores of the rcw
world. There is also n large amount OF
valuable archaeological matter pertain
ing to the time of Columbus, still exist
ing in Spain. which should be brought
here and will be if the money is at
hand to defray the expenses of trans
portatiOn. All these, and ii1any otlIeI
things that might be enumerated, will
add interest to the exposition, but they
are only possible by the outlay OF
money.
There can be no question" he con
tinued, ''about the buildings of the ex
position being ready in time for tn,
opening. 1hey are now so lsr com
pleted that any doubt that may have
existed upon this point has been long
since removed. If it were necessary
these buildings could be completed by
the 1st of July next.
This exposition is being laid out on !
score much more elaborate than tina
of 1889 in Paris. We may not be abl'
to excel the French in delicate work
manship and details. as in that respcc
they have no superiors in the world
but generally speaking the Chicago ex
position will be far ahead of theirs
The French exposition covered only
200 acres. while this will consist of 90
acres, and over $50 of them unde
cover. Nearly every nation Oh th
| globe will he represented.
