to buy Spring Dress Goods when
snow drifts are high, temperature

cate them ourselves, having but one

Chicago, May 9.-Bright, beaming and
beautiful, the second week of the worlds
fair was ushered in to-day. The pros
poets for greatly increasing the attend
ance over that of last week are exceeding
" favorable. Visitors in large numbers
began to arrive early, and by, this after
noon things took on an appearance of
completeness that was lacking the first
week of the fair. 1t was somewhat dis
appointing to many of the visitors to note
the contrast between the external and in
ternal appearance of the beautiful white
palaces. Without all seemed to be fin
lshed, but a peep inside the great doors
disclosed a chaos of boxes and works of
art and excelsior packing and. marvels of
mechanical genius. This was especially
true of the manufactures and liberal arts
building. Hundreds of men were unload
ing wagons and freight cars. Hundreds
tearing open, boxes and packages,
and hundreds were arranging exhibits.
1t was SO in the agricultural building, in
machinery hall and in three-fourths of
tie structures On the ground. In the
palace Of fine arts the departments are
in all the different stages of perfection.
The French exhibit is complete, the Ger
man is almost so, and the Holland exhibit
is far advanced, and so is the Canadian,
but there are q dozen others which seem
hardly to have. been begun.

Scene at a Mills Meeting.

Milwaukee, May 9.-There was a scene at
the Mills revival meeting last night that
was just saved from developing into q SEN
sation of the biggest magnitude. The expo
sition hall, where the meetings have been
held for the past two weeks, was packed.
The exercises had progressed down to where
the announcements were read. 1t has ben
customary at this stage to close the doors.
When Mr.. Mills arose last night to make
his announcements he issued his usual order
to have the doors closed. This is done to
prevent the noise and confusion incident to
people coming in and getting seats. When
the order was given Prof. r. g. Spencer
he wanted to cali Mr.. Mills attention to the
lact that 1t was against the law TO close
