WORLDS Err, CHICAGO, July Is
An interestiuevent, not on the official
programme oNorld's Fair attractions,
took place tlay when Commissioner
St. Clair, Of \st Virginia, attempted
20 enter the gr0ds without displaying
his Commissions badge.
The COmmissler had left his badge
at home and waed 70 pass through the
gates on his pernal card alone. The
gateman demuri somewhat and finally
told the Comm toner 10 step aside un-
til the crowd Oiassengers who had Just
come in on the ain had entered.
After waitin.a a minute or two the
Commissioner spped TO another gate
and was agalnAd 10 wait. He did so,
aud becoming ed, tried a third gate.
BY this tlmehe was little out Of
humor aud tot ths gateman be was be-
coming Tired waiting. and If he did
not inteud % him In TO say so, and
h0 would go al buy % ticket.
"I have busl IS in the grounds, and
I am going ipIremarked the Colonel
In rather an a " tone. The gatemen
then let him Eougb with a remark
which no one the West Vlrginian
seems 20 have rd. Whatever it was,
10 increased Iire, aud he informed
the gateman tI be did not propose 70
take any imp Mnce, and II be heard
any more Of ~ gateman would lose
his job
More angry ds followed on both
sides when a d 10 bian guard came up
and demanded Know what the row
was about. N yrathful commission
or abruptly mar ed the guard Ii was
none OF his damei business. A crowd
had gathered tArlis time aud two more
Columbian guaI Iscame up.
One of the ud rrivalS seeing there
was a prospect fight took hold OF
Col. st. Clair's aud was instantly
knocked down III Nthe latter. With this
the gatemen arerFo remaining guards
went az the COl. hammer and tOngS
and for the nextRs minute they were so
badly mixed up u it was impossible
70 distinguish O rom the other.
The crowd ch Id and the distin-
guished membe Mrom West Virginia
aud the gateman ID guards clawed and
pulled aud DoundN ann scratched each
other in decided NvigOrOuS and vicious
manner. At lengA j some more COlum-
bian guards arrihd and with a good
deal Of effort tht untangled the bel
ligerents Quartet and stopped the
fight
The Colonel witfhis face and shirt
front covered witty blood went TO the
Office Of President Higginbothsm and
washed while his htOgOnists, equally
CORY, were condeted TO the service
building for a Simitr purpose.
After he had wshed, Col. st. Clair,
said the guards andgatemen knew him.
II left my badge atnOme last week and
It had not been sen TO me yet. Those
gatemen have been citing me in every
day since on my cardand I could see 10
reason why they should stop me to-day.
If the gateman had told me frankly
that be could not let ne in without the
badge I would have bought ticket.
But he became impuCent and insOlent
and / told him If bi did not behave
himself ] would have him discharged.
With that he struck ne, and the fight
4fcame general"
