InOnlnss orcncstfn.
CHICAGO. Aug. lin spite OF drzzlinl
rain and lowering sky this morning the
early attendance at the Fair was good. !,
grew continually better as the clouds cleared
away and the Park frightened up. At the
National Commissions meeting to-day the
special committee reported it's approval OF
the nomination Of George Steck OF New York
as Judge for pianos.
Arguments on the motion to dissolve the
Clingman Injunction restraining the directors
from closing the Exposition on Sundays were

The hearing was postponed until next Tues
day. and there will be at least one more open
Sunday at the Fair.
One thousand or moro Worlds Fair souvenir
postal cards were stopped at the Exposition
Post Office to-day and thrown out OF the mails.
Inspector Fleming OF tho Post ONCE Depart
ment informed the officials that the sale OF tho
cards would have to be stopped or somebody
would go to Jail. They were sold from nickel
in-the-slot machines. two for nickel.
The cards are under size. and people who
cell them are liable to prosecution on two
charges-mutilation OF the cards. and selling
them for more than the regulation price. A
man named Godschmid holds the concession
from the Exposition Tor the sal of these SOU
venirs. ana thousands Of them have been sold.
Acting in the general spirit OF economy
which now prevails. Superintendent Of Admis-
sions TUCKER has served notice Of release on
seventy-fye gatemen and ticket takers. Here.
after the childrens tickets will be received mt
the workmen's gates and the chldren's gates
will be abolished. That will make n saving Of
$4,000 q mi onth in the Admissions Bureau.

IL q mass Of ruins. Horror is added to
the calamity b. the burning to death
Alderman N. f. Frary, who roomed in
the Star Restaurant, and whose charred
remains were removed after the flames
had been subdued. Mr.. Frary was
about 60 years of age and has been u
resident Of that city for many years.
He WAS elected alderman from the
First Ward at the municipal election
last April, and made an excellent Off
Ger. The remains were removed to the
home Of his son, Engineer Ed Frary, of
the Dakota Central Railroad.
The fire originated in the Star Res
taurant, owned by Fl. A. Gilbert. and
was the result OF an attempt to fill a
gasoline stove while lighted.
The total loss is $50 OO. Fortunately
only a light breeze prevailed at the
time Of the fire, otherwise the entire
east side of Dakota Avenue would have
been in ruins. The fire departmental
splendid work. and to them Is due the
thanks OF the entire community for
averting what at one time threatened
to equal that which visited Fargo a few
days since. The firms burned out are
already arranging to locate in other
quarters.
