War Ended.
Sr. LOUIS. April 24.--The carnival
season for lo93 has been practically
Iinaugurated by a series of meetings OF
the Autumnal Festivities Association
TO complete plans and decide a. to the
sums to be set aside for iiluminations
and other attractions out OF the million
dollar fund subscribed by citizens and
. local corporations. Arrangements
| have been made with the electric light
com raniesito furnish power for Lag
nihcsnt electrical display and there
will be a number OF Column
Liam set = pieces most magnih-
cent any costly in charac-
.er All the principal streets will also
be illuminated by means OF electricity
and also gas. and it is also contem-
plated to have a series OF moving cleo
trieal effects, taking advantage of the
trolley wires of the countless electric
railroads in the city. The illumina-
tons will be the most costly yet at
TEN pied, and will be held during the
months of September and October.
The Exposition will open for its tenth
season early in September and continue
for forty days. The Yelled Prophet
will sold his parade and ball on the
second of October, during which week
the Agricultural Fair will be held. II
is expected that thousands of visitors
to the Worlds Fair will come on To
1T. Louis every day during the sum
mer and fall.
The beer war is over. The attempt
to create a diversion of trade by cut
ting the price in half has not proved a
success. and no one regrets greatly the
return to what are regarded as living
rates. The enormous breweries in the
South End did not meet the cut and
claimed that the falling OFF in business
SO far as they were concerned was en-
tirely nominal. However this may be,
the relations between the owners of
the various breweries seem to be very
friendly and an immense volume of
business is being transacted. The
same is true generally of almost all
manufacturers in the city, long hours
and continual working a { hard pressure
being common.
Most of the candidates who were
pledged to help the wheelmen to inn
prove the streets of the city and in
other ways assist bicycling were
elected. The wheelmen's movement
:ed about three thousand votes with
II. and was altogether so successful
chat the political organization will be
xept up Among the first things that
Che wheelmen will ask from the friend,
whom they have helped to elect will
be race track in Forest Park. There
is now a speeding track there for trot-
ting and pacing horses. but it is con-
tr,llad nv an assopiation whose OH
GERS do not sympathize with the wheel
men, and do not allow them to use il.
The result of their application will D.,
either that they get one of the fast st
tracks in the country built in the park
for the exclusive use of bicycles or the
horsemen will be ordered 10 share tn.
present track with them.
The Assemblymen of the city have
decided not to appropriate the So. 0oO
that was wanted to make statue o;
Gen. sherman for the main entrance
of the new City Hall. This was dis.
appoin' ment To the friends OF the
movement. but it will not result in I'll.
plans being abandoned. The Grani
Army men have taken up the matter
and the statue viii now be paid for by
private subscription. There is not
single equestrian statue among tho
many that decorate the parks and pub
lie places of the city, and there are
several good sculptors here who want
to try their hands at one. The city
was asked to appropriate a much
smaller sum than statues of this kind
cost usually. If the statue is erected
through a subscription it will be
much finer one and viii cost probably
$50 OUO
