pom contest for ladies to go 10 the World's

highest vote, 100, 900, but declined to ac-
| cept, and the next highest was awarded

ajah OF Kapurthala, has reached Chi
cage, accompanied by one OF his wives
and his retinue. The Maharajah has
come to see the fair, and will stay until
he has "done" the exposition thor
oughly.
At the present rate the total attend
ance at the Worlds Fair for the six
months it IL open will be 20, DOC, 900. But
the estimate was for n total OF IS 900, :
900. The best months are yet to come
and perhaps the higher figures will be
reached.
The picture, :" In NY Studio" in the
German section OF the art exhibits at
Chicago has been slashed with a knife.
The painting il by Kahler. who, it is
thought, had the picture cut so as to at
tract attention. Artists think the in
jury can be repaired with little trouble.

Gals, found guilty recently by Judge

been filed. thereby suspending proceed
ings pending the action Of the Appellate
Court. The case in which the parties
are held TO answer cannot take prece-
dence on the Appellate Court calendar,
and at the earliest possible time will not
be called before the end of next Octo-
Der.
Anthony Comstock is in Chicago. He
called on President Higinbotham, and
announced that he had come from New
"
ing girls on the Midway. Mr.. Comstock
had evidently investigated the places.
As he went out he dropped catalogue
of the Midway. On the margins OF the
leaves crosses and stars had been made,
showing that he had visited the theaters
VI the giddy Persian dancers and the
dusky Algerians. Mr., Comstock will
call ON President Higinbotham again
and make another protest against the |
iancehouses. Failing to have them sup
pressed by officials of the fair, he will |
probably appeal to the city authorities.
