quently guilty of cotempt. He ordered
that Directors Gage, HutchisoD, Henrotin,
McNally and Kerfoot should be fined $1,000
each and stand committed to Jail until the
fine was paid. In the case of Director F.
Lawson, the court held that officer had

provision regarding payment. Messrs.
Massey, Forbes, st. Clair and Higinbotham

Nathan was also discharged. Attorney

save the great exposition from financial

leave his body. Thursday, as is his usual

ever since the exhibit was opened. Dr.
Hassler, the commissioner for Paraguay,
has not been friendly to the Columbian
guards service since he was victim of one

exquisite lace handkerchiefs worth $40 and
like those made by the Sesuites in Paraguay
centuries ago. They had been stolen after
forcing the lids of the glass cases. Alto
