THE WORLDS FAIR.
An Estimate of the Probable Daily
Attendance.

An Estimate of the Probable Daily
Attendance.
Director-General Davis in y orth American Review.
The average daily attendance at the Cen
tennial was 81, S33; the largest attendance
was 273, 1919; the smallest Il, 720. The daily
average at Paris was 1870, 00O; the largest
single days admissions. 100000. While the
circumstances and conditions surrounding
the Columbian Exposition differ materially
from those of either the Centennial Of Paris
exhibition, the divergence is not great
enough 10 affect very clear conclusion
from the figures given. The unavoidable
inference drawn from every international
fair is this: The attendance is very largely
drawn from the population within limited
radius from the site of the exposition.
Thus, for instance, the statistics from the
Paris exhibition show that on days when
the attendance averaged 100000, at least
10000 came from Paris and lis enYrOns
Allowing Tor the difference in the ina
tiOnal habits which makes the American
regard Trip from San Francisco to Chicago
with greater READINGS than the Fren Gilman
does a journey TO Berlin; allowing, too, for
the unlimited stimulus to travel given by
the excursion system planned by the rail-
roads of this country for the coming event
taking every possible factor into account,
II seems hardly possible that more than an
average OF two hundred thousand nOn-res-
idents will be in Chicago during the EXPOSE
ton. Assuming, then, that two hundred
thousand viii be largeSt average of strangers
needing food and lodging in the city, no one
familiar with the city would hesitate 10 de-
clare that the ordinary rule of supply and
demand will prevail throughout the six
mOnls and that the price of living will be as
reasonable as could be expected.

Concerning Refreshments.


There is hardly any kind of entertain
ment this year at which refres hments are
not served. To vary these is often q DIM
cult problem for the hostess. One of the
rules OF card club, which meets every two
weeks al homes Of the members, forbids
anything very elaborate, so that the hostess
often racks her brains to provide tasty
spread, which shall not be like the last
The novelty of the season was the cracker
lunch at the last meeting given by a mem
Der just home from Philadelphia, where she
got the idea. Dainty baskets tied with
green ribbons were filed with every variety
Of fancy crackers 20 be found. There were
tile social tea, cream bars. chocolate bars,
orange bOn-b0u. ginger snaps, graham
waters, butter waters, ginger flakes, sailed
snOwfiakes and fruit crackers These
seemed TO taste the better out of the pretty
baskets, which were more novel than trays.
AS relish there were plates of thin slices
of ham and tongue, olives and cream cheese.
Coffee and chocolate were both served and
the men in particular declared the spread
was the success OF tho season.
At some of the morning musicales, which
have been so popular through Lent, buffet
luneheOus have been served consisting of
coasomme, oysters la creme, eroquettes,
salad and cup of chocolate or a glass of
wine.

VALLEJO AND FREMONT.
An Incident of Early Days in Cali
fOrIlia
Harper's for April.

Harper's for April.
when the destiny OF the province of Cali
fornia hung in the balance. and England
and Russia, as well as the United States,
eagerly held out hands for the prize, Gene
raj Vallejo unhesitatingly gave his adher-
ence to the stars and stripes. Fremont
doubted and imprisoned him, but soon set
him free.
One day during that Imprisonment a
young American officer, doubtless a spy
sent by Fremont, rode up to the family resi-
dence in SonOma, and Offering to Mrs.
Vallejo an English and an American flag.
asked in Spanish, "Senora, which Of these
do you prefer ."
The lady looked at him a moment, as il to
read his purpose, then clasping the Ameri-
can flag to her bosom, she kissed its folds
and said:
This is the flag my husband has taught
me 10 love. Ii Is the one lie wishes to see
wave over his beloved California"
The officer smiled. and bowling gracefully
to all present, took his departure.
A lady vino stood watching the courteous
American as he rode away turned 10 Mrs.
Vallejo and said, mo eS OSo" THAT is no
bear. meaning that he is not one of the
Bear flag party.
Gene al Vallejo did not have very high
opinion of that famous party. He consid-
cred it a company of observation-disclosures who
interfered with the good work others were
trying to do. That bear should be Iassoed
and choked," was the expression in which
he gave vent to his feelings on the subject.
AT the time of the influx OF strangers
General Vallejo was literally monarch of
all he surveyed" His lands were OF the
extent of a German prineipality; his cattle
roamed a Thousand hills: his horses num-
bered far into tue thousands. He welcomed
the strangers; he gave right aud left of his
possessions. Although many whom he
trusted robbed him, many whom he bene-
hted proved migrate tul, yet he gloried in
the progress Of California, and he was too
proud to complain on his own account.
II like the Yankees" he used to say. 81
would rather be swindled by them
than by anybody else; they do it so scien-
tliically."
When one of his sons in bitterness of
spirit wished To give to the world facts con-
corning iBjuStices which the family mad en-
dured, he said:
mo; let go. What good to keep open
an old sore? Let the wound heal l
brought this upon myself. L did what +
thought was best 1t was best for the cOun-
try, aud, SO far as L am concerned, | can
stand II. 'Quen llama ell toro aguanta la
cornada. (WhOsO calls the bull must look
out for the horns.)
When asked concerning weak points in
the characters OF famous men who have
passed away, he always answered.
Il throw no mud on the graves of the
dead"

THE CALIFORNIAN CLUB.
1t VIII Send Handsome Medal to Be
Competed For at Chicago.


The CaledOnian Club of this city, at
meeting held on Friday evening, decided
upon giving medal of the value of $500 to
the Caledonian Society of Chicago as a
prize to be competed for at the great Gale
donian festival, which will commence on
July "a ard terminate July 80.
In reference to this handsome prize it has
been suggested by some of the athletes who
participate in the Caledonian games held
here that the medal should not be sent East
until after the games of May 80.
Then the local committee would be In q
better position TO recommend in which of
the games held in Chicago the medal is to
be offered as Il prize. In a nutshell, the
idea of the local athletes is to have the
representative scoring the most points in
any of the events to be held on May 80 at
Shell Mound Park journey to Chicago and
cOmuete there against the great athletes of
the East for the handsome prize.
The nome athletes consider tina it would
be big feather in their cap if one of their
number brought back 10 California CalifoT-
MAS prize.
At meeting OF the game committee of
the Called Onan Club on Friday evening next
this matter will be brought up for considera-
ton.
William y. Smith, secretary of the Gale
DOMAIN Society of Chicago. ia a letter to the
secretary Of the CaledOnian Club of this city,
sent the following programme, which gives
a general outline of the entertainments to
be held at Chicago during the exposition,
viz: July "a and % reception of the visit
ors by the Chicago society and inspection
of buildings and points of interest; July

Tic oenuine and the Sham.

Every good Thing has its host OF imtators-
every genuine article It's counterfelts. The iml-
aiOr .always choose the most valuable and pop-
ular article to counterfeit, so that when they
claim their sham to be equal, or as GOOD. or he
same as "SO-and-So's," The public may depend
upon it that "Soand-SO's'' article is the best OF
the kind. The sham proves the nuine merit
of the thing II copies and never has this been
better illustrated than by the limitations OF ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs.
ALLCOCK's PoBoUs PLASTER ia the standard
OF excellence the world over, and its mitatOrS in
their ciy that theirs is 'as good as ALLCoCK's'
are only emphasizing this fact and admitting
''ALICoCK's" to be the acme OF perfection,
which IL Is their highest ambition 10 imitite.
The difference between the genuine and these
limitations, which copy only neral appearance,
Is as wide as that between copper and gold.
The only safe way for purchasers l. to always
insist upon having ALLCocK'S POROUS PLAs-
TERs. They are the only perfect plasters ever
produced.

broken one OF her egRshell cups IN his large

a serenity fer which il is hoped the record

such tiimsy dOylies are useless-let me
