NOT FINAL.
The Decision to Close the
Worlds Fair on Sundays.
The Gates May Yet Be Kept
Open for Seven Days.

Believed the Directors ut Their Next
Meeting VIII Inaugurate Campaign
That is Expected to End I'm Congress
Repealing the Sunday Closing Clause in
, the Appropriation Bill.
CHICAGO, Nov. lat their next
meeting, directors of the worlds fair
will probably declare that the exposi-
ton must be kept open on Sunday, and
formally inaugurate the campaign that
is expected to end in the repeal by con-
gress of the Sunday-closing clause put
in the appropriation bill. As the case
now stands, both national and local
boards are on record as committed to
Sunday closing.
The Chicago directors months ago &C.
cepted the $s,5O0,OOO appropriation with
the closing clause attached, and last
week the national commission voted
that the fair should be locked on Sunday.
In neither case, however, can it be said
that the action taken was final, or that
it fairly represented the sentiment Of
either board. OF the forty-five men on
the board, it is believed forty-three are
strongly in favor of seven-day fair.
To what extent the local board will
figure in the campaign against Sunday
closing has not been decided It is like
ly, however, that an address will be
issued and given the widest possible
circulation. 1t will take the form of an
appeal to laboring men and other organ
lied bodies. asking them to express their
sentiment to congressman and senators.
Keep Open in the Evenings.
CHICAGO, Nov. t. The American sec.
ton of the Socialist Labor party met
Sunday afternoon to discuss the action
of the worlds fair commission in closing
the gates Of the fair at Z o'clock week
days.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the wage earners have come to the
inevitable conclusion which they hereby
announce to the worlds fair directors
and to the public generally, that from
the start it has been too painfully evi-
dent that the national and local direc
tors Of the fair have been unani
nous in their determination to make
of the great Columbian exposition, aristo
cratic, plutocratic, kid-gloved affair
from first to last, and that in their latest
action in closing the gates Sundays and
evenings, the only periods when the
common people have an opportunitg o.
gazing on the marvellous results of theil
own industry. the people clearly pre-
ceive that they have received 6

TOO MUCH MONEY!
Was the Way in Which Police Court
Viewed John Modcn's Wad.

Saturday John Modem took unto himself
jag. Not that there is anything particularly
surprising or astounding about this, and we
merely mention it as a necessary PROPOSE
tion for the reader to understand the follow
ing chain of thought.
We repeat then that he bowled up and as
result of 80 doing became proud as we'll as
loquacious. During his many tete-a-tetes
with citizens, he exhibited green wad that
made the average poor hustler for living
spit gre ener hue. John usually accompan-
led the exh ibition with the statement that
S750 composed said wad.
This is the end of act and closes Satur-
day night.
The second act opens with John reclining
on divan at his residence with two young
fellows from Wauseon pstronizing his bar
a few feet away. An hour or so of our val
uable American time slips quietly away into
nothing, and the dreams OF John are not of
the most soothing syrup nature. A sough-
ing wind of uncertainty sweeps across the
gray matter Of his brain and he awakes with
a starti
His pocket book Ia gone!
The young fellows still drink at the bar
andlthere developes nIJohn, spontaneously,
old Slieuth proclivities,
With noseIess tread he fills the back door
sill with his form and is gone.
Shortly after he returns with Marshal
Burns and has the two youths arrested.
And thus closes act II with tableaux and
yellow lights.
On being searched $50 was found on the
person of one while the other had but Q
small amount of change. To the Marshalt
satisfaction they proved that they came by
this honestly.
Monday morning John appeared in poles
court and swore out a warrant for their ar
rest. Marshal Blu rms then adopted few tao
tics that very room settled the affair. He re-
pared to Johns home and after short searcf
found the pocket book and money behind thu
bar.
The young men were discharged, bu
Johns troubles had just begun. He was ar
rested on charges of being drunk and sell
ing liquor on Sunday. For the first he wal
fined SIS and costs, The Mayor gave HIN
i Sl10 and costs and 80 days in the stone yart
for the second offence. Reconsidering tht
matter the Judge suspended the stone yart
sentence during good behavior.

CARSON, New, Nov. I.-Jake Winters,
man who has not washed or shaved
himself for twenty-five years, died in
Carson Valley Sunday. When a young
man he made vow that until the Dem.
ocratic party came into power he would
90 unwashed and rnshaved. When
Cleveland was elected he was reminded
Of his vow, but refused to take the nee.
essary steps toward cleansing himself,
The ieighbors once attempted to wash
him by force, but he got away, and
threatened to kill any man who tried te
clean him again. He was sixty years o.
age.

Walcott's school house Saturday night. The
attendance was large and enthusiasm liter

in strict conformity with the old democratic
motto and told the truth in a way that car

Mr.. Reiser makes no claims as a speech
maker he put in some excellent hits for
democracy, Messrs. Cuff and Evers were on

SOLDIER, KY, Nov. 1.-About two
weeks ago John G. Raymond, wealthy
farmer, received one of the circulars
sent out by New York 'green goods
men, and left at once to make his for
tune. He telegraphed them, as per in
structions, and arrived in New York a
few days later. Sunday he returned,
and though he says but little. it has
leaked out that he has been caught for
some S7OO or $500. His only return is a

IN GREAT DANGER
From Destruction by Fire Was the
Charming Village ofNew Bavaria.

Friday evening about seven o'clock the
stables of Joe Brown, at New Bavaria,
were discovered to be ablaze. Itbeing early
in the evening the whole village was soon
summoned and at once set about stubbornly
fighting the flames. Mr.. Brown happily
possessed wind mill and force pump and
doubtless to this lis due the averting Of the
villages obstruction.
By great efforts the fire was controlled
and resulted in the loss of about $500, most
of which was embraced in horses, s head of
which perished.
Hornung's large stave factory and gener-
al supply store were in close proximity and
it seem almost miraculous that lthey es-
capped. In fact, had swind been on tap, their
destruction would have been inevitable.

'I feel like inauRursting a movement in
ostracism," said a Napoleon damsel after
Friday nights reception. Why You don't
need TO ask. You know that there are at
least five girls to every young man in Napo-

staged II to the dance last evening. Our

ABSOLUTELY PURE

d6solation such as the cream City mas
never before witnessed during its corpo-
rate existence.
Twenty blocks, yesterday covered
with magnificent buildings devoted to
manufacture, trade and commerce, were
a mass of smouldering ruins; and where
500 residences, the homes Of 5000 peo-
pie, stood, there was nothing save black
ened bricks and smoking ruins.
The loss in money will probably not
exceed $7,000,000 on which there is
about s., 100000 insurance, but the COL
lateral damages, the immense shock to
business and the Inconvenience and posi-
tive suffering entailed upon residents
and business men can not be computed.
A heavy gale from the lake scattered
the burning brands from the burning
buildings, and for a time it looked as
though the city was doomed.
Notwithstanding the marvellous ra-
pidity with which the fire spread, and
the numerous falls of brick walls, the
injuries and loss of life was surprisingly
small, and it is believed that not more
than four or five persons lost their lives,
although the removal of the debris may
disclose other victims. Those known to
be killed are Henry Pruddenbuck and
Charles Stair. firemen; Mrs. Callahan, a
widow, and an unknown woman, who
was suffocated by smoke. There are
many persons at the emergency hospital.
Two Of these are seriously injured and
may die.
Immediately after the fire the militia
was put on guard in the burned district.
Every effort was promptly made to re-
lieve the wants of the sufferers. Con-
tributions are coming in from all parts
of the country. The relief fund is ex-
pected to reach $100, 1000 in few days. :. =

Another sensational episode in high life
occurred on the river bridge Saturday even
ing, which demonstrates the truth of the old
saying of Caesar:
"Whatever you may do my men
Tarry not with married women"
For many years az old sinner has had
kissiu' acquaintance with another mans
wife and said man was compelled to, at di-
vers times and places, challenge his wife's
lover to sprinting race. He caught him
too, and hammered him cruelty in the small
of his back, but it had no effect in stopping
the trend of affairs.
The visits were continued until the neigh
bors became disgusted, and Saturday night
several young men took the case in hand.
They donned number ten brogans and lay
ing in ambush at the river bridge fell upon
the unwary and amorous sinner as afore-
said.
Without letter Of introduction or other
preliminary conventionalities they kicked
the lover across the bridge. 1t vast not a
violent kick they used. 1t was sort of
methodical one that gave the actors plenty
of breath with which to tell the guilty one
what they and the south side ct large
thought of him.

There is but one star in the American chess
armament at the present time: it is a six-rayed
luminary, and it's name is Lasker. Probably no
event in the chess circles Of this country since
the sixth American Chess Congress has created
as much interest to the votares at the shrine Of
Caissa as the exhibition games at the Manhattan
Club. New York, which have been in progress
for several weeks past. Mr.. Lasker has shown
by bis deeds that he is rising master in t he
modern school Of chess. His mastery end game
play, position judgment, and quick perception
of the weak points in his adversary's games
stamp him player of the highest order.
Up to the present time he has lost but two
games during his engagement at the Manhattan
Club, and those were lost through a feeling of
over confidence rather than by superior play
on the part of his opponents.
He made clean sweep in his eight games Of
the second round, disposing in quick time Of
Hanham, Simonson, Delmar, Isaacson and j.
W. Baird. The total number Of moves by Las
ker we're 185 during the week, and his total
time was scarcely five hours by the stop-clocks.
Arrangements are being made for Mr. Lasker
to visit different chess centers in this country
before his return to England, where he has es-
tablished q chess periodical. He will probably
play a series OF games at Philadelphia, and II
satisfactory arrangements are completed may
come as far south as Baltimore. Nd He will
also go to Montreal, Canada. 1t is much TO be
regretted that there is little prospect of his wis.,
ing Warrington. DC.
The following is Mr.. Lasker's record in tour.
naments and matches previous to his coming to
America;
