then. I'm prepared TO tell you every
thing know" "Doing nything more
in reference to closing the Worlds Fair
on 6undayr' asked the before men,
toned ally OF the ungodiy trinity.
"Yes. We are dong all we can towards
winning over the national commission
ere To our side OF the question. We
haven't much hope Of doing anything
with tho resident directors, because
they are men largely interested in rail-
roads and street railways; consequently
they desire To keep tue fair running all
the time, so they can make the greatest
amount OF money possible out Of the
affair. The newspapers have called Us
Pharisecs and all that sort Of thing in
regard To this. but We think our idea 10
| right. We claim that this fair is gen.
eral exhibition OF our Advancement and
civilization. No factor has been more
prominent in this than our observation
Of Sunday. Furthermore. we think
the SO, 600 employees oil the fair are en-
titled to = little rest; and IL the fair
should bc opened Sunday, at least 50,-
900 more men would have to work IN
order to run the railroads and street
railways. The talk that Sunday 10 the
only time the laborlng man can attend
is all nonsense. Close the fair sunday.
and will guarantee that he viii have
more opportunities to attend than he
will have dollars 10 go. The same ar
gument was used in reference TO the
Centennial; but it WAS closed and work
men had plenty of opportunities TO
attend. Keep the fair open sunday
and IT will be q regular carnival there.
II will be Let 'er 40 Gallagher all the
time; and consequently | am in favor
OF having our Sunday respected. IL
you open the Worlds Far Sunday,
there is no reason why you shouldn't
keep every other fair, and horse show.
and theater, and everything else open."

here merely on VISIT" he said yester-
day. IL formerly lived here. When
! Was appointed to West Point. IN 1869,
was q clerk here in the postoffice. I
graduated from West Point in 1873. l
spent about IL years in the west and
southwest, fignting Indians aud chasing
trIln robbers. ] was with Gen. Miles
in nlS74 in the campaign against the
CNyennes and kiowas. ! was in the
Colorado and New Mexico campaigns
against the renegade Navajoes IN 1880
also. Last February I rece vsd my
com mission as captain, and have been
stationed st Detroit ever since. Detroit
10 the first eastern outpost. Life at De-
troit Is very easy, and seems easier per-
haps in compa risou with the life on the
plains. There isn't anything new going
! on at Fort Wayne. We have four CON-
panes stationed there now, but there
Is talk of increasing the number to
eight and making II q regimental batta-
lion.
Right Kind of Rspublicass.
f. Rochet of San Francsco, one of
the largest furniture dealers of the
west, is at the Morton. In speaking of
the furniture business he said: 81
think this 10 going to be An exception
ally good year for Grand Rapids furni-
ture men. All the west will be hero
next month. For the past few years
they have been carrying large stocks.
and haven't been able to unload; but
this year they have unloaded ell Of
their old stock, and will make large
purchases. / CAME here to look things
over before the rush next month.
"Any politics III the west?" asked tho
reporter.

much enthusiasm exhibited yet. Cali

Insurance Losses.
. J. Mabbctt Brown Of Chicago, ma
. tional agent for the Imperial Insurance
, company OF London, il xt the Morton.
. This has been . great year for the in
surance business" he said. THAT is.
| q great year for us to lose eli tho money
, We receive in premiums. l dol't think
there 10 an insurance company doing
, business in this country that will re.
I esive enough IN premiums this year to
: pay oil its lossee and expenses. The
1 amount of premiums received has been
large, too. don't attempt to explain
It; but many of the fires must have
; been incendiary. This isn't usual
when there are large crops, but this
year the crops haven't reached the
hands Of the merchants, and il II
| though these that We sustain our losses
> You see the Farmers alliance issued
that circular advising the farmers tC
hold their grain until spring in order to
Z get higher prices- The result 10 that %
( far ~ merchants are concerned, the
) crop might just ~ well have been &
= failure. They can't get hold of il. This
IN my opinion. u one of the chiel
causes of incendiary fires and Of ouI
