Rules For Admission to the Fair.

Passes which bear indication of hav-
ing been tampered with are to be taken
up. Children under years of age will
be admitted free, provided they are ac-
companied with parents or guardians.
If the little visitor is not carried in arms,
the gatekeepers must direct that they
pass under the wingsN of the turnstiles.
The gatekeepers are made the judges of
the childrens ages. If a child's general
appearance and size indicate it to be old
er than years, the official is empowered
to deny it admission. The gatekeepers
are instructed to exercise great discretion
in this matter.
Besides the Photographic passes, trip
passes and special press passes, there is
another pass called complimentary
card This pass will be issued in the
name of the person to be admitted and
will be good only on the day of issue.
When such card is presented, the gate
keeper must insist that the holder de-
posit with the pass one of his personal
cards. If the visitor is unprovided with
such card, the official will furnish Ia
blank card and pencil. and the holder of
the pass must write his or her name
thereon. This is for the purpose Of se-
curing some sort of Identification. No
deviation from this rule is permitted.

The President at a Reception.

Mr.. Cleveland has by force of prece-
dent continued the ancient custom of re-
ceiving the general public three times a
week in the great east parlor, but there

ably any other president would like,
to escape this task of handshaking. The

private personal ways is authority for
the statement that upon every one Of
these public reception days Mr.. Ueve-
land has gone to his bedroom and there
quietly slipped into his pocket revolver,
and then descended the stairs to the east
parlor.
Moreover, the throng of visitors who
flock to these public receptions is kept
at some distance from the president as
he stands in the doorway which serves
as an exit for those who pass him. This
is done by Gordon Of servants of the
house, who, counting merely the door

Colonel Cody could put himself at a
very much better enterprise than that of
encouraging the cowboy race which is to
take place to the Worlds fair. 1t is not
in the least likely that race run by cow
boys Of several nationalities, all of them
the widest men of their type, will be
signalized by any great amount of hui
manity. Indeed the chances are that
the horses will simply be run beyond
their strength. Such racesis in great
contrast to a race between trained horses.
whose speed is matter of fine calcula-
ton, and to whom the whip is seldom
touched. The race of the cowboys it is
very much more than likely will contain
every possible feature of brutality.
It may be characteristic of portion
of the west, but the people at the fair do
not want to see everything that is char
acteristic of this country, but only that
which is best as well as that which is
characteristic. 1t is to be hoped that Of
ficers of the humane society will be on
the ground, and that they will see that
there is no slaughter of horses. We
want to leave that sort of thing to Ger

To Dance on the Deck Of a warsh,p.

The idea of a dance on board the
United States monitor Miantonomoh,
proposed by the officers of that aggress-
i've looking battleship over month
ago, has not, / understand, been relin-
quished. The original plan to hold it
the night after the naval review was i'm
possible of execution, owing to the order
ing out of the vessel for the celebration,
and even had she remained at the navy
yard the weather has SO far been un-
favorable for such an event. The dance
could only be held on the deck of the
vessel, and as awnings would be the sole
protection against the night air the even
ing must be mild in order to insure its
success. The officers have no idea of
giving up the plan if it is not found i'm
practicable. The ship is still lying in
the North river, and they only await a
return to the navy yard and settled
warmer weather to put it through

suspend the silver purchase act, or deal
with it as he may deem best. Congress

THE VICTORIA DISASTER.
Rear-Admiral Tryou Solely Responslble
for the Catastrophe.


for the Catastrophe.
VALErrA, Malta, July 1.-Notwith-
standing the efforts being made by the
naval authorities to prevent the surviv-
ors of the Victoria disaster from giving
information concerning the loss of the
vessel, an Associated Press correspond
ent succeeded in obtaining from reliable
sources additional details of the acci.
dent. The stories told by the survivors
coincide in the main with the reports
already published. But the following,
told by sub-officer OF the Victoria, puts
another aspect on the question where
the blame lies.
This officer stated that Rear-Admiral
Markham saw that by following the or
der signaled from the flagship colli-
sion was bound to occur, and made pre-
parations accordingly. The signal for
the formation desired by the vice.
admiral was sent twice, but the rear.
admiral disregarded it each time. The
vice.admiral then signaled: "Why are
my orders not obeyed?" Rear-Admiaal
Markham was then obliged to obey the
Oluci, duu tuC COlll6lOA Iceultcus
The officer further said: "After the
collision the other ships of the feet
wanted to lower boats and started to do
80, when vice-Admiral Tryon ordered
them to STOP" siu
The vice-admiral came off the sick
list the morning of the disaster.
Continuing, the officer said: 'The
question is: Could Rear-Admiral Mark
ham have carried out the evolution
when Vice.AdmiralT Tryon first signaled,
or was the damage caused by the rear
admiral waiting for the third signal.
All those acquainted with the circum-
stances say the evolution could not have
been perfected without collision when
the first two signals were given, and
that no danger was incurred through
the resr-admiraPs delay in obeying the
orders eignaled to him.

Bacchanalian RevsIs Preceding tho OPP
GRAFTON of the New Liquor Law.
COLUMBIA, s. c., July 1.-The incep.
tion of the operation Of the dispensary
law was attended last night in Columbia
with wild bacchanalisn revels. Under
the law the state takes charge of the
selling OF intoxicating beverages. The
state has q big central dispensary in
Columbia which furnishes liquors to
county dispensaries which are estsb-
lished upon petition Of majority of the
freeholders OF town. Nearly every bar
made phenomenal sales this week, many
people buying enough to last months.
The Columbia bars kept open house
until IL O'Clock. Sales were immense
and the consequence was much
tumult in the streets. A double
guard was on duty at the
state d;spenssry, as threats of burn
ing it were made. The bars were all
closed today, and the town was dry, no
county dispensary having been estab-
lished here. Reports from all sections
of the state, including Charleston, say
large quantities of liquors were pur-
chased 30 as not to patronize the dis
pensaries. Several dispensaries will
open today, and more will begin very
soon. An injunction was obtained in
Darlington to prevent the opening of a
dispensary there. No disturbance is
reported anywhere in the state.
Dispensaries will be opened in 10 of
"a counties. Bar rooms will be opened
in some OF them without the legal for
mality required of endorsement by q
majority of the voters, and suits against
the state will result. All day yesterday
saloon keepers were selling stocks at
auction, and citizens were providing
themselves freely with wet goods in an
ticipation OF dry time. A large pro.
portion of the citizens bought six
months stock. "Blind pigs" are ex-
pected to open in many places.

unwillingness of the Chicago fair man.
agers to exhibit drawings from the nude
model submitted by the pupils of
school of art in Philadelphia. Other
things being equal, we should hardly ex-
pect Chicago to be sitting In judgment
on the morals of Philadelphia. Philadel-
phia in this case has found many cham
pions in the press of the east, and Chica-
go has been very skillfully and very pun
gently rebuked and instructed as to
what may be decently done in art
schools. Yet something is to be said for
Chicago, and it will do neither Philadel-
phia nor New York any harm to hear
and heed it.
No one who knows what the drawing
of the human figure requires will now
dispute that study from the nude is the
only way in which adequate knowledge
and skill, both in observation and execu-
ton, can be acquired. But does it fol-
low because such studies are necessary
that they are proper objects to exhibit to
o miscellaneous crowd of visitorsp For
our part we have our doubts and very
serious doubts. In the studio and the
classroom peculiar conditions exist, the
most potent of which is the intense oc-
cupation Of the minds of the students in
their work, and another the general rec
ognition of conventions, which, to say
the least. are not those of the ticket hold
ers to the Columbian exposition.
Drawings that it is not only well but
indispensable to make, and which may
be interesting and instructive on the
easels of students or the walls Of class
room, cease to be instructive to the eyes
of the chance visitor, and, to put it with
as much reserve as possible, become in
teresting from quite other causes.-Har-
