AGAINST THE FAIR.
The Charge Freely Made Against Certain
New York Firms

The Charge Freely Made Against Certain
New York Firms.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-The Tribune Sat
urday morning declares that there is a
conspiracy in New York to injure the
Worlds fair. Recent developments in
dicate that some of the strongest corpo-
rations and heaviest importers of that
city, backed by two or three newspa-
pers, have formed combination for
the sole purpose of doing every thing in
their power to worry the exposition
officials and hurt the enterprise itself.
Within the past week large blocks of
choice space allotted to New York eX-
hibitors have been released by them un-
der the most fimsy excuses,
One electrical firm which had been
given the choicest location in the cleo
tricity building wrote curt letter de-
claring it could not get its exhibit
ready. AS its allotment was the first
given out the exposition officials de-
nounce the action as unbusiness like.
The New York piano manufacturing
companies have all withdrawn, on the
plea that awards would not be given us
they wanted them. The officials, in
order to stop any more such delay and
annoyanccs, have notified all exhibitors
that unless exhibits are placed on
the allotted space at once, it will be
given to other applicants Director
General Davis says that if all New York
exhibitors should withdraw it would
not injure the fair.

CHICAGO Feb. 16.-The Willard foun-
tain, which is to be gift to the city of
Chicago from temperance children all
over the world, is to come from the
studio of a young London artist, Geo.
Wade, and concerning this there is a
good deal of strong comment among
the local members of the Women's
Temperance union, and many of whom
take the ground that there are plenty
of talented women sculptors in this
country who might have been selected
without having to go abroad, especially
as the movement was originated by
temperance women.
1t is said that Wade is q protege of
Lady Henry Somerset, and so her dip
lomatic finger is seen in the awarding
of the commission. Wade has recently
finished life size statue of Sir John
Mcdonald for the CaLadian govern
nent, and also bust of the duke of
Clarence for the prince of Wales

King Wants the United States to Estab-
lish IA Protectorate There.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2O.-Among
those who arrived on the Australian
steamer Monowai were EX-American
Consul Rick and Mrs. Rick, from Buta-
ritari, Gilbert islands. Mr. Rick said
he received a letter from the state de-
partment last November ordering him
to close his office and return home, as
the seizing of the islands by England
made his further stay unnecessary.
Rick shut up shop November 20, and
sailed for Sidney. He says the old king
made pathetic appeal to him to inter-
est the American government in his be-
half, as he claims his people prefer an
American to an English protectoratc.
Rick thinks the king will soon lose
his mind if he is not relieved of his
present worry, in which case the Eng
lish will appoint a king who will be
their tool He says the American trade
will soon be ruined as the British trad
ers are favored by their government
and the feeling against Americans is
strong. The natives prefer to deal with
Americans, but they are given to under
stand that it will not be healthy for
them to do so.

Are Made From That Surprising Metal
Aluminiu


Aluminium.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1S.-The latest nov
slty produced from aluminium is slate
pencil, for the use of school children.

ordinary article, but have the advan-
tages of indestructibility and indelible-
ness. The marks made with them can
be erased only by the application OF
moisture.
The company in this city have sold
n great many of them. Each pencil is
guaranteed to last throughout the
school career of child. They are
sold at dime apiece Verify may the
student of mechanics calculate: "Won-
derful is aluminium? What next?"
1t is said that the hoopsliirts which are
to be in vogue in the spring will be

icle-Telegraph Company, entered by
Tyndale Palmer, a former PhiIa-
delphia newspaper man. The alleged
libel is contained in items pub
lished by the defendants on Oct. II and

stolen $4,000 from the Auer lncandescent
Light Company. The company, it was
stated, was composed of A. o. Granger

formed the South American Welsbach
Incandescent Light Company and sent
Palmer TO Rio de Janeiro to boom it. He
and a Brazilian hotel keeper named
F'reitas, it was alleged, sold the
patent rights for $4,000 in gold. On his
return Palmer reported that he had sold
the patent right for $4,000, of which So
600 had been expended in salary and ex-
penses. He was afterward sent to Eng

charged. Palmer denies the truth of the
story. A couple of hundred similar suits

THE eoNDoLIERs DON'T LIKE IT.
They Sea Ruin, in the Electric Boats
Introduced in Venice.
From the New York Tribune.

III NbnAC6s
From the New York Tribune.
Who can think of Venice and the Grand
canal without the gondolas and the gon-
dolers? The graceful boats and the
handsome oarsmen, with their vari-col-
ored and picturesque costumes, their
songs and their salutes, seems necessary
parts of the romance surrounding the
lovely City of Lagoons. Yet the exist
ence Of both are endangered, and the day
lie probably not far distant when they will
give way TO the practical romance killing
ideas of the present time Americans,
too from whom half the inhabitants of
the former proud home of the doges draw
their means of subsistence, are to be the
revolutionary agents. ls
A short time ago United States firm
made proposition to the municipal heads
of Venice to run electric boats along the
canals and lagoons through and about the
city. The trialof the first boat took place
recently, and almost strange to say, met
the approval OF the council. 1t was
handsome vessel which sped along the
waters where the dogs boat once carried
the republic head to the marriage with the
sea, but there were no gondoliers to pro-
pei it. The little machine in its stern
pushed it along at the rate Of l6 kilome-
ters an hour. With the rs persons for
which it had room, 1T left
the singing gondoliers and the graceful
craft far behind in its wake. But it
brought sadness TO the hearts of many
oarsmen plying away as their fathers had
done for generations. Lovers of romantic
Venice will sympathiZe with the Condo
Tiers in their opposition TO the nineteenth
century innovation, and trust that the
mass meetings which they are to hold,
and the protests which they are to make,
may prove availing. Venice without gon-
dolas and gondoliers would not be the
Venice Of history or the Venice Of the i'm
agination; and thousands of Americans
proud as they may be of the trinmphs of
the skill of their countrymen-will, not
regret failure to drive the historical
boats from the lagoons and the, Grand
canal
