The Worlds Fair Practically Open.

The Worlds Fair Practically Open.
From the New York World.
Public interest in the Worlds fair is
attested by the large number of admis-
sions at this early date. Thousands of
visitors are going to the grounds despite
the general confusion and the lack of
preparation which must exist there for
some time yet. Several of the big res
taurants in the grounds are running, and
one of them is as much thronged every
day as some OF the restaurants in Park
Row, New York city, are. The people
in them are not employees of the far, but
most of them look like strangers in the
city. The admissions are proving already
a source of revenue To the fair. The full
price, so cents, is charged, and the money
thus received before the fair begins will
be welcome to the directors.

Genuine politeness is always the out

usually appreciate any thoughtful at

but the author of Two Years in a

receive a courtesy from companion on

In the compartment with me were
three old Hindoo merchants, gray
bearded, dignified and respectable, who
evidently were natives of the better
sort.
Breakfast time came. We were still
many hot and dusty miles from a re-
freshment station, and from the depth
of some of their bundles the old gentle
men, who had evidently travelled
before, evolved supply of cooked food.
1t consisted simply of a large bowl of
"dal," like stiff pea-soup, and pile of

The Van Buren press., 1893-07-01

A tragedy Of the sea without paral-
lei in modern times occurred ON the
22nd by the sinking Of the British bat
tieship Victoria off the coast Of Tripoli.
The Victoria was the flagship Of the
Mediterranean squadron. She car
ried crew of 600 men and officers,
and Of these 1872 were drowned. The
catastrophe was the result Of . coils
ion with the battleship Cainperdown,
another iron-clad. The Camperdown
struck the Victoria amidships, and
tile latter almost immediately sunk,
going down in 80 feet OF water. Vice
Admiral Tyrone, the commander OF
the Victoria, was saved from drown
ing, but died few hours after being
rescued from the water. All of the
English nation is in mourning over
the terrible disaster.

Stories Of Chief Justice Fuller.

sit is rare indeed" said Eli Per.
kins at a dinner recently, "that we
can tell a good story on the CHIEF
Justice of the United States," says
the New York Advertiser. "Twen.
ty years ago Chief Justice Fuller
was practicing before Judge Nc.
Arthur in Chicago. In his speech
before the Judge he pleaded his
clients ignorance of the law in ex.
tenuation of an offense he had
committed. The Judge said: "Ev.
cry man is presumed to know the
law, Mr.. Fuller"
II am aware Of that, your hon.
or" responded Mr.. Fuller. "Ev.
cry shoemaker, tailor, mechanic
and illiterate laborer is presumed
to know the law. Yes every man
is presumed to know it, excepting
judges of the Supreme Court, and
we have q court of appeals to cor
rect their mistakes." Naughter.)
The chairman of the lecture
committee in Oldtown, Me-, told
me that he once belonged to a de-
batting club, of which the chief
justice when a boy was q member.
One evening "Capital Punishment"
was the subject debated. The
deacon OF the church and two
clergymen were for hanging.
Young Fuller was opposed. Said
the deacon, quoting from the Mo-
sale law: "Whoso sheddeth mans
blood, by man his blood shall be
shed !" Thinking this to be . bomb.
shellto his opponent, he dwelt
upon it till his time had expired,
when the boy sprang to his feet
and said:
"Supposing we take the law
which the gentleman has quoted
and see what the logical deduction
would come to. For example, one
man kills another, another man
kills him, and so ON until we come
to the last man on earth. Who's
going to kill himi He dare not
commit suicide, for the same law
forbids it. Now, Deacon" contin-
ued the boy, "whss are going to

Baldheaded Pension.

Washington, d. c., June A.-Mr.
Tarsney's baldheaded pensioner has
been found, according to the story
made public this morning. In Febru'
ary last Representative Tarsney, Of
Missouri, delivered q speech in the
house in which occurred the following
startling statement: II speak not in
Jest, but In sober truth and from the
record, when declare to this house
and to the country that pensions have
been granted on account of the loss OF
hair, on account of badness. Think
of the diminishing effect upon mans
capacity to earn support by manual
labor which must result from bald
ness." A week later In batch of cor
respondence submitted to the house
which passed between the commission
or Of pensions, Raum, and Medical
Referee Ingraham, Of the pension Of
fee, the abatement Of Mr.. Tarsney was
denied by the pension bureau. Rep
resentative Crout submitted this cor
respondence, together with q letter
from Commissioner Raum, In which
the latter stated he felt confident Mr..
Tarsney had been misinformed. Mr..
Tarsney in reply said he could not pro-
duce the name of his informant, be-
cause the gentleman who had given
him the information was employed in
the pension office as medical exam
iner and would suffer dismissal If the
name was published, DR.. Warren
Holt, of Missouri, medical examiner of
the pension Office, it is said was the
one who had given Mr.. Tarsney the
information which brought forth Com
missioner Raum's denial. DR.. Holt
was dismissed from the pension office
March 2 last, for cause. DR.. Holt was
not able to point to any cause of bald
ness which had been pensioned, but
by accident yesterday the follow
ing remarkable case was discovered:
Allen G.. Peck, company H, First
Rhode Island Light Artillery, allowed
pension October 10, 1891, certificate
No. $40, 0,175, issued him, and the case
ordered to be dated from March l, 1884,
and arrsarages, "a per month, amount
ed to about 1854. The records of the
pension bureau developed the fact
that no other causes are given as the
reason for allowing Mr.. Peck's claim
than the loss OF hair, the result Of ty-
phoid fever. Efforts, it is said, will
new be made to have Dr.. Holt REIN
stated.

In the State Democratic convention,
which met last week In Little Rock,
says the Fort Smith Record, to nomi-
nate candidates for Chief Justice and
Associate Justice OF the Supreme Court.
Hon. H G. Bum, Ouachita county,
was nominated for Chief Justice by
acclamation. There were nine candt-
dates for Associate Justice, and the
name of each was placed before the
convention by some admiring friend
in the most eloquent terms. On the
call Of counties, when the name Of
johnson county was called, Hon. Oscar
L. Miles, Of Crawford, arose and pre-
sented the name Of Hon. Jordan E.
Cravens as one in every way fitted to
wear the judicial ermine and main
tain the dignity of the highest court
Of the judicial department in the State.
