ILLINOIS STATE BUILDING.
at the administration building, where the
shivering musicians wrapped in their over
coats bravely waded through music de-
signed to stir the masses who do not mass
at the band stands to any great extent.
There is one advantage in the chilly
weather which keeps down the number Of
visitors In that the work of installation
and arrangements of delayed exhibits can
20 on untrammeled by the crowds Of the
curious.
The Mandatory Order
of Director Burnham ordering that all
work must be finished by May 10 has had
the effect of stimulating the exhibitors to
increased exertions
In the electricity building, where the ex-
hibits have been far from complete, work
is pushed day and night. At the building
an immense steam crane Is In operation,
conveying heavy electric motors, trucks,
street cars and other exhibits to the posi-
tions assigned to them. One hundred
people came down to the fair by boat yes
terday, but 1t is safe wager that none OF
them will try the same route again when
there is n northeast wind blowing. There
was high sea, the winds were cold and

difficulty in avoiding payment Of tribute
to Neptune As for the others-well, they
yielded to the buffeting Of the waves and
gazed sadly and longingly between contri-
buttons at the solid land which was 30
near and yet 80 far away.
The Henry syndicate boats are intended
for summer excursions only, and passen-
gers have no protection against storm and
cold. Today men, women and children,
who were roped into taking passage by
lake to the fair, had an awful time Of it.
To be sick and half frozen at the same
time Is the depth of human misery.
An Explosion.
A terrific explosion startled everybody In
the west end of machinery hall yesterday
morning. A header on the big l6-inch
main blew out and the escaping steam en-
veloped everything for 300 yards around.
By the force of the explosion, James
Glassford, q switchman, was blown 60 feet,
and was so badly scalded that death Is ex-
pected every moment Two other laborers,
employed by the Northwestern company,
were also scalded, but not fatally.

AMUSEM ENTS,
Lothrop's Grand Opera House.


A fne production of Maggie Mitcheli's
beautiful domestic drama entitled "Fan-
chon, the Cricket" IL promised at Lo-
throp's Grand Opera House next week.
The play Is familiar to majority of our
theatregoers as is the star, the popular
Katherine Rober, who appears In the IL
tie role. Miss Rober has done very large
business at every theatre in Lothrop's cir
cult. She has for many years made q
study Of the character OF Fanchon and she
presents 1t with finish tnat places her on
the same plane with the natl on's favorite
Maggie Mitchell. The entire press In the
cities where she has appeared speak In the
highest terms of her performance. Her
shadow dance In the first act is gem and
her vivacity and energy in the merrimak-
ing act In which the entire company joins
In most attractive May pole dance isvery
refreshing. In the emotional scenes of the
play she Is uncommonly affecting and her
entire performance is characterized by
great finish and intelligence. Her sup
port will include the supreme Pawtucket
favorite, Miss lola Pomeroy, Lothrop's
soubret star, who in the role of Susette
introduces very clever speciality; Came
ron Clemens as Landry Barbeaud; the
funny comedian, James McElroy, as
Didier; William A. flanagan, as the irsci-
BILE Father Barbeaud: Jos Fannin as Faith
or Callard. and Miss Hattie Morris as the
old witch Fadet.
Keith's Opera House.
Daniel Sully, the famous Irish comedi-
an and character actor, will appear at
Keith's Opera House for a week, COM
mencing on Monday. The portrayal of
Irish life and character, as pictured on the
stage by Mr.. Sully, is not, as usually
presented, a caricature on the race, but
distinct, refined and delicately drawn
Characterization, with sufficient broad
comedy thrown in to give the impersona-
tion spice and life. His efforts are natural
and life like, and invariably appeal to the
heart. During the week Mr.. Su'ly will
produce new play for the first time en-
titled "Auld Lang Syne," which has been
In rehearsal several weeks. The pro-
gramme for the week will be as follows:
Monday and Tuesday, matinee and even
ing, "Daddy Nolan" Wednesday and
Thursday, matinee and evening, "Corner
Grocery" Friday and Saturday, matinee
and evening, "Auld Lang Syne." Mr.
Sully brings an excellent supporting cast.

whether he does his work on the edi-
torial page or supplies the character
sketches that make too little renown
for the men who write beside the
news columns. But the special cor
respondent must have a great many
other qualities of an uncommon kind
and in a remarkable degree. He must
have such a temperament as to be
newborn every morning, and to look
on all that he is to write about with
new eyes and fresh interest. He must
have a made-to-order sort of a soul,
that will suffer itself to be thrown
into whatever he does as boys soul
enters into the games he plays at
college. He must have at once the
broadest and finest power of observa-
tion, and the vocabulary and facility
that are the bases of expression and
freedom with his pen. He must be
as sanguine as song bird, and as
strong and willing as a race horse.
Above all, he must love his work
better than his comfort, his club, his
home or his friends, else he might
some day pause and consider for
what small reward and shadowy
glory he is risking his neck or
plunging into discomfort-a train of
thoughts which can never come to a
correspondent as it does to men of
many another stamp who live for
money, for comfort or for social dis
tinction. He must have a personality
all vigor to keep on past every him
drance, and with much candor and
sweetness to win and keep mems con-
fidence, so that they will admit him
everywhere and talk to him un-
restrainedly; but his personality
must be of a Kind that does not in
trude itself too rigidly at many
points, for. like an actor, he must be
controlled by some others character
and appetite and likes-those OF the
public. c.-Scribner's
