Chicago still laments the burden of the
deadhead at the fair. The attendance is
made up onp-third of this incubus on GER
tain days. 1t is trouble which should
have been foreseen. Had the half dollar
been required in cash from every visitor,

be somebody thus to be honored. The last

A telegram to the New York Post throws
doubt seemingly upon whether there has
been any rnmpus in Bombay between the
mild and also wild HindoO and the fire
