CLOSED THE FAIR.
On Account OF the Assassination of
Mayor Harrison the Exercises
We're Brief,
And Instead of Rousing Speeches Only
Memorial services We're Held at
Festival Hall.
Simple Announcement that the Great
Exposition Would Close with u
Sunset Salute.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, Oct. 81. -
The fair closed in mourning and with
its flags at half mast. Instead of the
festival of oratory and song which was
to have filled in the afternoon there
were services of memorial character.
Instead of the scene of dazzling
splendor that was to have crowned q
day of brilliancy in speech and music,
only necessary lights burned and the
White City was shrouded in darkness
at an earlier hour than since
its opening. So with the death
of Mayor Harrison the life and
gaiety of the exposition went
out forever. The somber appearance
that the buildings wore and the solemn
tiles that were observed here in
memoriam of the departure of Chi
cago's chief magistrate, who was also
one of the life sinews of the fair, was a
singularly appropriate way to close the
greatest exposition of history, whose
distinctive beauty will in few more
days be changed into a mass of con-
| glomerated ruins.
On Sunday there was conference
between exposition officials, who issued
a bulletin declaring all the formal clos
ing exercises off. except that memorial
services be held in Festival hall and ap-
propriate resolutions adopted, salute
fired and the United States flag lowered
at sunset.
1t was further ordered that the flags
upon all buildings within the grounds
remain at half mast until the closing
| of the exposition.

nesday.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-The act of a
maniac. or at least weak-minded
youth, has plunged Chicago into grief
and mourning just at the period of her
greatest triumph.
From all ranks and conditions of
men there comes but one voice and it
is that of grief. IL Chicago's spirit
scared too high, if her ambitious soul
reached out beyond those things to
which mortal man may aspire and her
daring hand was ever at the edge of the
universe-it has been temporarily
checked. The blow was heavy and it
Struck Chicago TO the Heart.
Carter Henry Harrison was without
question the most popular man among
the residents of Chicago. He was the
most widely known and best beloved of
all Chicago's sons. Political enemies
have time and again sought to read
the riddle of his popularity. They
have sought to decry his fame and
wean his friends from his side. They
utterly failed in all. There is touch
of nature beyond what humanity
knows, anu 1t is called genius. This
Carter Harrison had in his dealings
with his fellowmen. He drew them to
him, and .he held them to the last by
the force of his genial nature and the
undiscovered something which all men
felt who came In contact with him.
His enemies were as bitter as his
friends We're warm, but they were the
Foes of His Methods,
not the foes of his personality. He had
within his frame more of the condensed
spirit of audacity, endurance and &C.
tivity that is characteristic of Chicago
than any other man. He was nearer the
embodiment Of the Chicago spirit thar
any other man. The people knew this
and held him closer in their embract
than they have ever held another, and
it will be long before another mar
usurps the place that Carter Harrison
held in the heart of Chicago.
The feeling of personal sorrow which
all citizens feel is not stronger thar
the mortified civic pride which bur
dens them down. Her man Of men, thu
one whom she honored most, was FOUL!
slain, and the great city which ha
done so mnch. and which for six month
has been the most popular place Oh
earth, was utterly helpless. There ma,
be for Chicago days of greater pride, o
higher glory than any she has yet be
held. he can never be a day of deepe
grief, OF more poignant sorrow.

Both the President and Senator

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 3L-Prendergast's
bullets, which took the life of Mayor Car
ter Harrison, might have found lodge
ment in the heart of United States
senator, or even the president of the
United States. For full two weeks be-
fore the murder of Chicago's mayor,
the assassin had been directing mes
sages through the mails to at least one
United States senator, which indicated
that he was intensely wrought up
against President Cleveland. The
burden of all these communications
was the silver question.
The letters came to Senator Dubois
OF Idaho. The first letter came about
Oct. ., and since then q morning has
not passed without the receipt of q let
ter from Prendergast.

Sald the United States May Take a

Rio DE JANEIRo, Oct. 81. lit is stated
that secret treaty between the United
States and Brazil has been signed. This
treaty is said to be in addition to the
commercial treaty of 1891, and is said
to involve United States support of
Brazil If the latter country asks for
such support. 1t is also understood
that the United States is pledged to
support the Brazilian government in
the event OF any attempt being made to
restore the monarchy.
The rebel movement at Bahia is said
to have been influenced by the
monarchists with whom Admiral
Mello might ultimately join issue. In
this case, it is said, the intervention of
the United States would be justified.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3L-City officials and
aldermen who entered the council
chamber for the special meeting. found
that the decorator with somber designs
had proceeded them, and their eyes met
the mournful insignia of death at the
first glance.
The mayors chair, from which his
bright glances aud sallies have flashed,
was heavily hung with deep black. The

tirely hidden beneath the thick, heavy
folds of crepe. The desk, too, on which
his gavel has fallen more than once
with heavy force but always with grand
good nature behind it, was hidden be.
meath the somber hues of death. Across
the wall above the desk
and chair, deep fringe of black
hung down over the speakers platform.
The galleries were filled, but visitors
took their places with none of the
boisterousness which characterixes
their arrival on ordinary occasions.

injure himself or commit suicide was
taken from him when he was placed in

watched him closely during the night.
The man was apparently worn out by
the excitement OF the previous "a hours.
The changing of bolts and bars as the
turnkeys passed through the Jail, awoke
the prisoner.
Was Somewhat Sulky.
Prendergast yawned lazily and sat on
the edge of his narrow bed peering
gloomily out of his cell. When spoken
to by one of the guards he grunted an
unin teliigible reply, but did not move a
muscle. When the mans breakfast
was brought to him, however, he
frightened up ut once. He was
hungry and ate the plain prison fare
with a relish, drinking large guam tity
OF hot coffee. After the meal Prender-
gast seemed in more agreeable mood.
He moved up to his cell door and
gazed out. The jibes and jokes ex-
changed by other prisoners who talked
