THE GREATEST EVER HELM
An English Journalist Expresses Hh
Opinion of the Fair.

Opinion of the Fair.
Sir James Long, proprietor Of II.
Sheffield, England, Telegraph, w0
visited the worlds fair last week with
a party OF British journalists. Ia,
given his impressions of the transac.
tions aud prospects of the fair. He
said he considered the Chicago fs,
the greatest ever held, the most er
tensive, the most costly, architectur-
ally the most imposing. 1t was
question Of money, and never before
had so much money been contributed
for such a purpose. The buildings
were much ahead of those at Paris,
but he was disappointed at the IN
ready state of the exhibition. The
most forward exhibit was that Of
Great Britain, and strangely enough
the most backward exhibits were
those which the Americans then.
selves were making. In his district,
in Sheffield, all but two manufactur.
ers had practically boycOtted the
Chicago fair on account of the Nc.
kinley act PREVENT g them from
selling goods in the United States.
He had approved of this action at the
time they decided it, but he nov
thought that ii was a mistake. Many
Of the British merchants were losing
the opportunity of a lifetime for ad-
vertising. If it had not been for the
Mckinley act England's exhibit az
Chicago would have been the best that
country ever made. He did not think
the exhibition of paintings equal to
that made at Vienna. The fair, he
said, would not be fully ready tof
visitors for six weeks. He did not
think ID would be a financial success.

Facts and particulars regarding the

fall OF the National Cordage company
are gradually leaking out. John
Good, of the John Good Cordage and
Machine company, was seen by a re-
porter, and said the National Cordage
company's difficulties were brought
about by selling below cost. They
were fighting the GOOD company,
which was a rival concern with a
capital OF S~7,0oo,00O, and machinery
that could manufacture at a less cost
than the National Cordage pool.

ELoPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.
A Young Man yanishes with the Mether
of His Betrothed.


Chicago's worlds fair visitors last
week included a bridal party which
left the little town of Angelica, a few
miles from Buffalo, under sensational
circumstances. The departure of this
couple took the form of an elopement
on the eve of the day appointed for a
marriage, but the woman who went
to Chicago TO enjoy the sights was
not the bride for whom the prepare
tions had been made. 1t was her
mother. Three years ago Leander
Gurnee sought employment on the
farm of John Atkins, three miles
from the village of Angelica. He was
then nineteen years Of age and fairly
good looking. Farmer Atkins hired
him, and in the course of six months
tAe young fellow had courted and
won the hand Of Ellen Atkins, the
farmers daughter. The date of the
wedding was fixed, with the consent
of the parents, but a week before the
event was TO take place Farmer
Atkins died. Out of respect for his
memory the date Of the marriage
was postponed for one year. This
would have brought about the mar
riage last Wednesday.
During all this time GurLee had
been most assiduous in his at
tentions to Ellen and htA let no
shadow of doubt OF his faithfulness
fall upon her happiness. But upon
the day before the wedding young
Gurnee and Mrs. Atkins, mother of the
prospective bride, gathered up all the
available funds and stealthily de-
parted from Angelica while the bride
elect slept. The old man had be-
queathed all of his property to his
daughter, but only part of it was in
negotiable form at the time of the
elopement, so Miss Atkins still had
possession of most of it. The clipping
couple took about S,500 in cash and
yaluables. 1t is supposed that the
clippers went to Chicago to see the
worlds fair, as Gurnee had secured
transportation for himself s'and wife,
to that city. Miss Atkins at first re-
fused TO credit the story, but when
convinced of its truth sent her we'd
ding trousseau to the clippers, address
ing it to them ''care Hotel Mar
quette.' She will take no action to
have the pair apprehended and vii
let them be happy If they can be
The young men OF Angelica are pre-
pared to serenade the clippers if they
return to the village to live. Gurnee
has worked as a printer.

CLEvELAND's CRY OF DISTRESS.
The President Tries to Stay the Avalanche
of Omceseekcrs.

The following has been issued BY
the president for publication:
"ExECUTIyE MANSION, May s, 1893.
1t has become apparent after two
months experience that the rules
heretofore promulgated regulating in.
teryiews with the president have
wholly failed in their operation. The
time which under those rules was set
apart for the reception of senators
and representatives is almost entirely
spent in listening to applications for
Office, which have been bewildering
in volume, perplexing and exhausting
in iteration and impossible of remem
brance. Due regard for public duty,
which must be neglected If the pres
ent conditions continue, and observ-
ance Of the limitations placed upon
human endurance, oblige me to de-
cline from and after this date all per-
sonal interviews with those seeking
appointments to Office except as |,
on my own motion, may especially
invite them.
1.-THE same considerations make it
impossible for me to receive those
who merely pay their respects, except
on days and during hours especially
designated for that purpose. / ear
nestly request senator's and represen-
t~atiyes to aid me in securing for them
uninterrupted interviews by declin-
ing to introduce their constituents
and friends when visiting the execu-
tive mansion during the hours desig-
mated for their reception. Applicants
for Office will only prejudice their
prospects by repeated importantly
and by remaining at Washington to
await results.

The funeral of Miss Lena Mouse,
the sixteen-year-old daughter of
Philip Mouse, of the town of Fox
Lake, near Beaver Dam, Wis, was
held last week. On arrival of the
cortege at the cemetery the caskea
was opened for the last look, when 10
was noticed that large beads OF
preparation stood on the face and
hands of the girl and that the joints
of the fingers and wrists were quite
timber. This caused great alarra but
a doctor pronounced her dead with
out a doubt and the ceremony r
cecded after an hours delay.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Voor-
hees was to-day called down on his al
legged friendship for silver. He was again
charged with being gold bug" Senator
Wolcott, OF Colorado, drew the data
against the Indiana Senator to prove that,
while Mr.. Voorhees, professed great friend
ship for silver, he really wanted to demon
etize it. The accusation precipitated the
Indiana chairman of the finance commit
tee into a cold sweat. He acclaimed and
proclaimed in several forms of language
that he was in favor of free coinage; that
he earnest for silver as ever in
his life. He denied that if the silver-pur-
chasing clause of the act under discussion
was Internationally repealed silver would
be demonetized. The silver men were I'M
able to see the point. They thought the
characterization of silver meant the cessa-
ton of its increase in volume, the further
recognition OF silver by purchases and
coinage. Then Senator Voorhees, alluded to
the preamble which he had placed to the
House bill, declaring that the honor of
the government was pledged to bimetal-
lism, and that gold and silver should be
maintained on parity. Senator Wolcott
was wholly unable to see where the proc
anything. He thought it farcical and a
travesty on silver, as it provided for MOTH
ing-simply professed friendship He said
that the Indiana Senator was constantly
crying his fealty to silver and urceas-
ingly announcing that he was in favor of
bimetallism, while at the same time he
was ready to vote for the unconditional
repeal of the only law providing silver as
a money metal He demanded to know of
Senator Voorhees,, as a score of other sill
yer. Senator'S have demanded to know,
whether, If the present law was uncondi-
tionally repealed, assurances could be
given that another silver law would be
signed by President Cleveland to take its
place. Neither Senator Voorhees, nor any
OF his Democratic colleagues could give
such assurance. Then the Colorado Senator
said that the Indiana Senator was unques-
tionably opposed to silver and in favor of
demOnetiZing it. Senator Voorhees, is quite
unfortunate in his efforts TO establish a
position in favor of silver. The silver Sem
atorS seem to be winding the gold meSheS
around him more and more closely every
day, until his position has become almost
pitiable. He finds the equestrian act of
riding two horses tandem fashion very diff
ficult.
