ILLINOIS BUILDING AT THE FAIR.
Exhibits Going Iuto Place With Credit
able Rapidity.


CHICAGO, April 15.-Manager Reynolds,
of the Illinois Worlds fair building, says
that the building will be ready from
basement to dome on the last day of this
month. The geological and educational
exhibits were completed early yesterday.
These exhibits have been slow in arriving
A short while after the exhibits of the Hi
nois deaf and dumb students began to
arrive. This exhibit is large one and
will be of great interest. 1t consists of
specimens of wood-turning, painting,
drawing, sculpture, iror-work and sewing.
all of which was done by the students in
our deaf-mute institutes.
One of the most attractive exhibits came
in yesterday and was installed by Chief Rev.
nolds, who was assisted by the chief grain
inspector of Illinois. This exhibit is a
novel one and will prove more than attrac-
tive to the garrulous bulls and bears of
the board of trade. The opening of the
first box brought to view a model grain
car, along with variety of curious look
ing scales and implements used in the in
spection of grain. These were placed in
position and the remaining cases were
opened. This exhibit will be a live one
and is intended to illustrate the entire pro-
cess of grain inspection from the car to the
elevator.

Result of the Meeting of the Illinois
House-Doings of the Senate.
SPRINGFIELD, April 15.-The whole ses-
sion of the house yesterday was occupied
in an attempt of the Republicans to have
the journal show their view of the events
OF Thursday, and of the Democrats to de-
feat that object. They did this by break
ing the quorum and the end was an ad-
journment without advancing the business
of the state one iota, the adjournment be-
ing practically to Tuesday next. Hardly
a quorum of senators was on hand in
their chamber, and the only business done
was the receipt of few reports the intro
duction of few bills, and the advance to
to the third reading of the following: To
increase the fees of the assessor in counties
of the third class; to reduce the rate Of in
terest on foreclosure and redemptions from
S to per cent; to regulate tie fling for
record of the plat of lands not within the
boundaries of cities; allowing per diem
fee to clerks of CIRCUIT and probate courts
in the counties of second class; fixing a
schedule of fees to be charged for the in
corporation of companies.

CHICAGO, April l5.-The corner of Lake
avenue and FiftS-fifth street was the scene
of a lively fight yesterday afternoon, and it
is evident from what occurred that an
Arab has no love for an Esquimau. About
3 d. m. eight Arabs who are engaged in ar
ranging the Arabian Worlds fair exhibits
left their village and filled up on American
beer Having despoiled one saloon of its
sausages and beer they started out to find
another At the corner of Fifty-ffth street
and Lake avenue they met an Esquimau
named Joe Sugarloaf and his four sons.
Sugarloaf was on his way to the Esquimau
village and was carrying on his back a
large trunk twice as big as himself which
he had just purchased. The Arabs would
not let Joe pass and knocked the trunk off
his shoulders.
Called on Allah and Charged.
This so enraged the little Greenlander
that he knocked an Arab named Limpoe
down. Then giving utterance to a few
Sutturstl HlouOSl lIdUltS ne SLOuIueTtu his
trunk and started on again. The black
eye which L;mpoe had received, however,
incensed his companions and shouting
"Allah, Allah" and waving their bamboo
canes above their heads they dashed OTTER
the departing Esquimau. Sugarloaf's
trunk was again dashed to the ground and
one of the Infatuated sons of the desert
dealt him violent blow on the head which
sent him sprawling after it. He was soon
on his feet, however, aud calling his four
sons to follow him proceeded to clean out
his assailants.
, Sugarloaf Was No Soft Snap.
The five walrus hunters were soon deal
ing blows right and left, and in short
time it became apparent that they were
more than a match for the Arabians
Blood flowed freely and Sugarloaf and his
sons would soon have driven the attacking
party from the field to the great delight of
of the spectators that surrounded the fight
ers, and whose sympaties were with the
smaller party, when big policeman APP
peared on the scene and manifesting his
authority by vigorous of his club
sent the belligerent in opposite directions
from the scene of conflict.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-During the de-

case VOORHEES, in reply to Hoar said: az
take the position that an unfit senator
may be imposed upon the senate-though
it has not been done in over a century;
but that if state should have the mis-
fortune to elect a man blackened with
crime it is the misfortune of the state, and
find no power given us TO organize our

MacMahon at the n1aIakon.

We have received from Lieutenant
General Donat MacMahon (Bedford),
who saw the attack on the Malakoff, the
following interesting letter: II see by
The Daily News that a doubt exists in
France as to the time and place when
Marshal MacMahon made use of the ex-
preston, 'J'y suis, j'y reste' (Here ! am.
here l remain). Permit me to state that
1 was present in the Crimea and wit
messed the final attack on the dreaded
Malakoff, which MacMahon led in per-
son. He was then a general. When he
had expelled the Russians, he received
an order from his chief, who, believe,
was then General Pelissier, to withdraw
his men from the Malakoff, as it was be-
lieved to be mined. 1t was at this crit
ical time he made use of the expression,
'J'y suis, j'y reste.
"He Immediately formed his men into
a semicircle and set about cutting
through to a certain depth in order to
cut the wires OF tubes in connection
with mines. But before its completion
one mine exploded and killed over lOu
officers and men, he fortunately escap'
ing. This literally terminated the siege
and the campaign. MacMahon soon
after returned to France. He was then
a great favorite with the French army
Some of the French officers whom
knew informed me that the emperor
felt so dissatisfied with the length Of
time we were before Sebastopol that he
sent MacMahon out specially to bring
the campaign to a speedy termination
The expression referred to was often
quoted by these officers with evident
pride and satisfaction, SO / feel not 9
little surprised to learn that a doubt ex
lists in France as to the time and place
when these solemn words were uttered
particularly if in military circles."-

Things Worth Remembering.

When you feel kind of goneness
about the stomach it is a sign that your
food does not sit we'll and that you are
about to have a fit of indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and
are unable to sit still comfortably
when your clothes suddenly seem to
lose their fit and become too tight in
places the fit of indigestion is surely
upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is re-
peated from day to day it finally re-
solves itself into dyspepsia.
Remember that three to ten of Bran
dreth's Pills will cure the worst case Of
indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and
that a regular course of them, say two
every night for a week or ten days
will act as preventive of either com
plant.
