WAsHIsGroS BuILpINa, WORLDS FAIR,
Oct. l6.--tSpecial Correspondence. THE
hrst day at the fair for Mr., Jesse w. George
was one of Chicagos murky. hot days of
Indian summer, and he appeared one of
the most detected human beings. He sat
down on the steps at the rear ofth Wash
ington state building. looking into the
lagoon and wishing il was the shore of
Puget sound. Since then he has bright
ened up, and he aud Mrs. George are see-
ing the fair from Midway TO the Peristyle
and from anthropoiogy to the Eskimo yil-
lage.
Hon. A. A. Lindsey, ex-state treasurer,
has returned from his visit among Eastern
friends, and after Il second visit To the fair
he has just gone on home. Mr. LindsIey
is an ardent Republican, and during his
stay in the East he heard many opinions
OF the present condition OF The country
politically. Among other good stories he
has for his friends is this one: "A farmer
in Indiana had been iuFed from the Re-
publican ranks by the eloquenee of Dan
VOORHEES,, who had declared that under a
Democratic administration the price of
wool would at once advance. The farmer
voted for Cleveland, and this fall when Il
came strengthening time wool reached
the low price OF 10 cents Il pound. When
the farmer brought in his wool the buyer
opened up one of the bundles and ex-
| claimed: Why, look here. this tieece fails
TO pieces. What is the matter with your
wool this year
