Instantaneous Photograph of a Very Com-

 Many curious pictures are now ire quently seen as result of the facility with which instantaneous photographs can be taken. Our illustration repre- sents view of this kind, where rider has been thrown from his horse but has not yet reached the ground. The incident occurred at a steeplechase meeting at Ashey, in the Isle of Wight where MT. R. Thirlwell's horse Cos metic refused his third hurdle, and threw Mir. R. Woodlands, his rider. MT.

THE ambition of men affects human affairs and nowhere is it better shown than in the Borden case. The public demanded that Marshall Billiard find the guilty party and lest he should be denounced as incompetent he fixed upon a theory and ignored clues that did not lead in it's direction. The at torney general of Massachusetts refused to prosecute the marshall's case and District Attorney Knowlton took it up. Fitted against him was the strongest lawyer in criminal practice in the state. To beat him would be a great feather in the younger district attorneys cap. He appreciated that fact clearly and it is not strange that he forgot that he was public prosecutor only bound to get at the truth and became zealous advocate working for his own glory even if at the hazard of sacrificing a life. It is said that the Borden sisters looked upon MT Knowlton as an arch enemy. This is probably wrong, he had no enmity toward them, but it may be that over their downfall he hoped to reach a higher pinnacle of fame.

THE BIG CHECK.

when there were over five million souls
assembled within one city. But in all
the history of worlds fairs there has
never been anything like our Chicago
day crowd, and in all probability there
will not be again during the present
generation.
1t was evident from the falling off in
the attendance on the following day
that the crowd vas made up principally
of single-day visitors from the imme-
diate vicinity of the city. The enor-
nous business of suburban trains
showed that the surrounding towns
Were pouring almost their entire popu-

Nearly a Million People Visit the Worlds
Fair in Twelve Hours-An U~nequaled
Record Some Scenes and
Incidents.
Especial Chicago Correspondence

Peerless among the great cities of
the globe. Chicago stands to day as a
worlds fair city. She has ably dem
onstrated her supremacy as a host by
receiving and entertaining within her
gates nearly half a million people, in
addition to caring for her population of
over twelve hundred thousand. When
the day came on which she was to
commemorate the awful disaster which
overcame her in 1871, she turned her
self, loose and gave the world a lesson
in celebrating which will serve as a
marker for the future generations of
all lands to ponder over and marvel at.
We all expected a big turnout, and
calculated on breaking all worlds
fair records, providing the weather
was fine. Well, the weather was
fine, very fine. 1t was far different
from that Of October 9, twenty-five
years ago. 1t was just such a day as

bride may care to borrow the same
idea in dressing her little pages.
The young sister a frock made
OF white m~ousseline de sole over a pale
blue silk slip. The short skirt was
fluffy with billowy rufies. A kerchief
of mousseline de sole was draped over
the shoulders and tied in front with
long ends. The pulled elbow sleeves
were of pale blue silk. A big leghorn
hat rested on a crown of bobbing yell
low curls. The brim was faced with
the shirred mousseline de sole over blue
silk. the crown being hidden by a
cluster of white tips. The small maiden
carried a shower bouquet of forget-me-
nots in her daintily gloved hand.
Her escor was attired in black vel
vet knickerbockers, with a Highland
coat of pale blue satin. His wais tcoat
was of white silk. Black silk stock
ings and blue satin slippers completed
the costume.

nature prevailed, and the people put
up with such little annoyances with
commendable fortitude.
The main attractions of the day
were the speeches by worlds fair
officials and national celebrities, the
parade of states. patriotic music and
the evening display of floats and fire.
works. Everything passed off in per-
feet order and the spectacle that was
presented after dark surpassed all pre-
vious efforts at illumination. But the
one all-important feature of the day
was the settlement of all the world
fair Indebtedness by the presentation
of a monster check by the anage-
ment to Treasurer Seeberger, the
amount being 81, 565, 80. IS, which rep
resented the last payment on the s4,-
500, 900 issue of bonds, including inter-
est from last February. The check was
the biggest ever written in Chicago
and the presentation was a fitting
finale to the financial plot of the grand
est fair the world has ever known.
The payment will reimburse the
moneyed men who came to the rescue
OF h great enterprise when it was in
imminent need of financial assistance.
1t is said that there will be a large sur
plus, which will afford ample means
for the clearing of the grounds after
the fair is over, and it is considered
quite probable hat the stockholders
who contributed SO promptly and gen.
erously to the first funds of the fair
will receive part, if not the full amount,
of their subscriptions.
