DON'T WASTE MONEY.

Ever since the Chicago fair was opened
there has been unseemly wIangling about
the music. 1t has been very costly and its
harmonies quite too complex for the ordi-
nary ear. Not five people in a hundred
have been entranced by the high-art per-
formances, although as much as $500 a
day has been expended to supply talent
for the orchestra, with Mr.. Thomas as mu-
steal director. The Auditorium has often
been sparsely occupied. As Chicago
contemporary points out, the $4,000 SUBJ
scribers to the fair have not been consulted
about this music, and it is legitimate in
ference that they do not think it worth the
expense. especially when the finances are
crippled.
What is needed at fair with much open
ground is cheerful, sparkling, tuneful
music. and some of it at least recognizable
in melodies which have become popular.

THE BERlNG SEA DECISION.

So far as the practical question involved
In the Boring Sea decision is concerned
the preservation of the seal-that has been
settled by the establishment of a CLOSE
season, ION the plan pursued by the seal
fishers OF Newfoundland and Jan Mayen.
The:seal- Fishers of Newfoundland can not
sail for the fishery before. March /, and
they. must cease operations on April 30
At Jan Maven, the treaty between Great
Britain and Norway fixes the opening of
the season on March 49, and declares that
1t must close on May 10 La the -Bering
Sea- the close season is to begin on May /,
and to; last till July 81 In all these cases
the object sOught.s TO prevent the. indIs-
criminate destruction of seal life. through
the killing of females at time when they
are essential to the preservation Of their
offspring. In order to maintain. the pro-
prietary rights of the United States in the
fur seals, sealing is prohibited at all times
within a zone Of sixty miles round the
Prybilotf islands. Outside of that zone.
only sailing vessels, duly licensed, are
allowed to fish for seal, and they are not
to use nets or explosives. Finally, in
order to give the seals chance to breed,
the commission recommend that sealing
be prohibited altogether for a period Of
from one to three years.
Legislation will, of course, be necessary
to carry this award into effect. 1t will
encounter the less opposition as the find
ings of the commissioners appear 10 be in
conformity with equity, and fair to both

BIDLEMAN GUILTY.
The Jury Deliberates for
Twenty Hours.

Two Bailiffs Keep Watch on the
Jury at the Baldwin Hotel.
Amount EmbeZZled.

EuOch g. Bidleman, late confident ial
agent of the liquor firm of E. Martin &
Co.. was adjudged guilty in Judge Wal
lace's court yesterday Of the crime of en-
bezzle ment, after the jury had been out
for twenty and half hours.
Bidleman has had hard time of il of
late, as two months after his arrest his
bondsmen surrendered him, and for the
past eleven months he has fingered in the
County Jail. Besides that he had already
gone through the misery of a previous
trial, where the jury failed to agree upon
verdict.
The story of the old trusted servant is
told over and over again every day.
Bidleman's was a peculiar case. For some
years past he must have kept his accounts
in very cIeverly cooked" condition. and
he was never found out until matters
grew SO complicated for him that his cour-
age gave way, and he fed.
The amount he is supposed to have &C
tually embezzled is estimated at from
$1,000 to $4,000. although the jury only
placed his stealings at SIT 65. representing
that that sum formed an item In the In
formation filed against him.
The trial that concluded yesterday was
his second. All the defense that Bidle man
had to offer was that he had expended the

night, as he was so excited aud had threat
ened to do it before. He knew that Me-
Shane's creditors were pushing him. Wit.
ness made no arrangement for McShane 10
