Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.
CHICAGO, Oct. II - Dedication
week opens here with a great rush of
prominent visitors. All the officials,
national, State and city, of the
Worlds Fair are here or on their
way, and many of the governors with
their staffs have already arrived.
Gov. Russell is among those, and
Gov. Peck, of Wisconsin, is expected
tomorrow. Gov. Merriam ,,of Min
nes0ta, is looked for at about the
same time. kilograms from Wash
ington state that some representative
of every embassy is now on the way
to this city. The cabinet members
leave to morrow and the judge of the
Supreme court will probably adjourn
over tomorrow to attend the testivi-
ties.
1t has been decided to admit to the
Worlds Fair services by invitation
and on this account the rush for
tickets to day is so great that it is
found impossible to in an way meet
even one. half the demands. Direc-
tor General Davis now estimates that
one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand tickets of admission have been
given out. There is great demand
for tickets to the ball at the Audito-
rum on the evening or Oct. 19.
President Palmer today sends out
invitations to all of the members of
the National Commission to attend a
banquet given him on Oath.
The decorations in the city are
about completed. Most of the ap-
preparation voted by the city council
has been used in executing Millet's
design on the city hall. The twelve
rustic bridges between Van Buren,
and Rush Streets make a magnificent
showing and the arches at central
points look resplendent IN bunting
and flowers. Michigan avenue is
decorated from Congress to Thirty
fifth street and by a uniform set of
shields neatly placed in the center
of punches of flags of all nations.
StreamerS hang across the street from
end to end. The postoffice, too, is
splendidIy decorated. Two vast
stands are erected on the Dearborn
side, each capable Of holding one
thousand school children who will
be attired in the national colors.

sweeping an assertion, but they will be

The colored fireman of the train was
down on the ground with his oil can when
q portly and well dressed negro, with a
fashy watch chain and a silver headed
cane, came along and stopped to look at

gait which would nave made a common
flash of lightning look sick. AS the editor
and proprieto or of a great weekly news
paper we could own him and match him
for race, and also be present as a specta-
tor, while the foreman of our Office could
ride him. In the affair the other day we
were present as an editor, who is privi-
lodged to go anywhere. We were on the
grand stand as the mayor of this town. As
the newly elected state senator from this
district we bet $3.50 on our mule, and as a
free and enlightened citizen of this glorious
republic we stood up and yelled and waved
our hat when he came in four lengths
ahead without wetting a hair. Our narrow
minded and jealous pated contemporary is
too ignorant to define our position and too
Internal mean to state it if he could, and
we therefore make the above explanation.
We know the exact amount of dignity to
an ounce attached to our proud positions
as editor, mayor and senator, and no one
need fear that we shall demean ourself in
public.
ALMOST A TRAGEDY.-Major Short, the
genial proprietor of the Gem saloon, has
been nearsighted man for the last fifteen
years, but the fact has been concealed
from all but his intimate friends. This
misfortune almost led to a tragedy Mon
day afternoon. While ON the street in
front of the postoffice the major squirted a
mouthful of tobacco juice at a hitchihg
post, as he supposed. The post turned out
to be wild haired teamster named Jim
Simcoe, and Of course he out with his gun
and began blazing away to avenge the
deadly insult. Fortunately for the crowd
he had been temporarily blinded, and his
bullets all went wild. 1t took nearly an
hour to calm him down, but he eventually

mighty poor cigar, we do not believe there
is anything really low down in his com
position.
