Maryland at the Park.
CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-There was slight
falling off in attendance at the fair yester-
day from that of week before, the total
paid admissions reaching 16O,016, more
than 1,G00 less than Sept. f. But the at.
fractions of the week should succeed i'll
more than rivaling in admissions those OF
last week. Kansas has this whole week
for her celebration, but did only prelimi-
nary work yesterday.
Silver day was duly inaugurated yester-
day at Music hall at Jackson park, and
was a success, and the day will be long re.
membered as one Of the most pleasing in,
cidents of the great exposition. Rev. DIR.
Prince, Of New Mexico, who delivered the
opening address, touched but gingerly on
the financial problem with which the
name OF the white metal is so inseparably
connected. He alluded, indeed, more to
the position it assumed in the industrial
arts, and warmly welcomed the delegates
present in speech which was a singularly
happy diplomatic effort. He was followed
by a. j. Warner, of Washington; c. S.
Dougherty, OF Texas; Charles s. Thomas,
of Colorado; Governor Waite, and several
other silver men.
Today Colorado is celebrating and il is
Army of the Tennessee day. The formal
exercises in the Kansas building took
place, and Governor Lewelling responded
to the welcoming address. This afternoon
there is a concert by the Modoc club. At
the Colorado celebration Governor Waite
made speech. Governor Brown, of Mary
land, was the lion of Maryland day, the
formal exercises being held at Music hall
this afternoon.

FARIBAULT, Mimi, Sept. l2-The SO.
called Faribault plan is now a thing of
the past. II. T. Kestler, a member of the
school board, explains that the Roman
Catholics insisted on having all Roman
Catholics for teachers in the parochial
building, and the board decided to have
but two Roman Catholic teachers there, So
the contract for the use of the building is
cancelled and no public school will be
held in that building this year.

Pawnee had been pillaged, and all the
stores of provisions were gone.
No one knew where these things had
disappeared, and no one ever told.
Little by little the people carried away
the boards, doors and windows, and used
them in making their houses more COM
Portable. Some of those driven from
Pawnee located just east of the reserya-
ton. laid out town and named it Og-
den. The logs from Governor Reeder's
house were hauled to Ogden, and con-
yerted into house that can be seen to-
day.
And thus it it that the stone building
which stands not far from Fort Riley is
all that is left of the City of Pawnee,
the first capital of Kansas.

A HELPING HAND.
BY JOHN F. voS HERRL:cH.

Here's hand to the one that's discouraged.
To some sad, weary life without hope.
Here's hand-mount upwards-leave the low
lands;
Its worth climbing the rough, rocky slope
To see. when you've once reached the summit,
Lies meaning. grand. noble and true.
Here's my hand-exert all your powers,
Cling and climb and struggle anew,
Have yon fallen? Who has not. my brother?
Mind you- steps as you seek TO ascend.
Here's light for your way-'tis a safe one
Gods love-it Will last you till the end
Here's hand to the one that is friendless.
The 6utcast. now living in shame.
Here's hand you are lost in the darkness,
You are out in the storm and the rain.
You were hardened by mems cruel reproaches.
BY earth's charity, scathing and cold
Take my hend-we'll soon reach the pathway
That leads to our Christ and Ills fold.
See the simmer of light as it CLOVIS there,
Forgiveness and sweet, calming rest,
Take my hand-keep the way-Jesus calls you,
For the lost ones he bears on his breast.
Here's a hand TO the one-lfe failure
Going down to the river alone,
With nothing but dry leaves and thistles
To lay at the foot of the throue.
Here's hand = Can you hear for the
waters2
Are you crying 'Oh Father forgive me, I've
wasted LIES beautiful day?''
Are you wishing you could live it all over?
Too late,'-Take my hand! Let up pray!
l will kneel with you here in the shadows,
In the gloom and the awe of the grave.
Place your hand in the hand of your Savior
Your are safe-He has promised to save!

ANNEXATION REPUDIATED.

As everybody expected at the time,
the English girl who claims the throne
of Hawaiia and who was escorted across
the Atlantic TO pay her respects 10 Mr..
and Mrs. Cleveland, made good her mis-
sion. She was undoubtedly promised
the throne, as every move made by the
president from that hour up 10 the time
Gresham issued his state paper, was to
the end that all that was accomplished
by the Republican administration under
Harrison should be wiped out and Lili-
oukalam be sustained as queen. The
sending of Blount to take the first steps
in breaking up the provisional govern
ment as Mr.. Cleveland's personal embas-
sador WAS an outrage against the
government and people of the United
States and directly in the interest of
England. In short, annexation has been
repudiated by the Cleveland administra-
ton, and the greatest naval station Of
the central Pacific is lost TO the United
States in the interest of Great Britain.
When, on last Saturday, ex-President
Harrison was approached On this sub
ject, he said: "In any event, whether
true or not, do not want To comment
on Mr.. Cleveland's acts. If his policy
suits him, mine suited me. But if it
had been known that his administration
would take this step previous to the
election the other day, the victory for
Republicans would have been much
more pronounced"
Mr.. Harrison concluded: "The queen
cannot resume her throne, | believe.
without bloodshed, and it remains now
10 see whether the United States marine
service will be used to establish her in
power again. The question of annexa-
ton is one of deep interest to America,
and will be handled, / have no doubt. by
the newspapers and the people in a
patriotic manner. Unless my admin
lsiration is the object of unjust re-
Election in the action taken. | will have
nothing to say TO the public"

Last Thursday Johnny Marshal, young
man aged about Is years, and residing
with his parents on a claim about twenty
miles east Of Guthrie, was bitten severly
by deg that showed signs Of having the
rabies. Young Marshal was tBken to
the house where his wounds were dressed,

dog was trothing slightly at the mouth
when he attacked the young man, and his
illness will be closely watched, as hydro

Sheriff Fightmaster passed through south

neighborhood of the murder say that the

would be to no expense trying him. The
old man is still alive but can hardly re-
cover. The girl was hurt the least, and
will probably get we'll. Mrs. Wiley of

ballots than under the old plan.
