rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

TOUCHING IN THE EXTREME.
The courts Vindicate the Enforcement
of the Law in Mississippi.

of the Law in Mississippi.
For weeks past the people OF Brook
haven, Miss, have been aroused to
the highest pitch of excitement over a
final and supreme attempt on the part
of the courts, backed by the law
abiding citizens of the country, to
bring to justice the members of a
lawless band, who, under the borrow
ed title of White Caps, have convert
ed an otherwise peaceful country into
verible land of lawlessness and riot
and establishing reign OF terror
over all inhabitants, The final scene
in this sensational drama was closed
in the District Court at Brookhaven,
Oh yesterday, when, despairing Of any
aid from outside influences, the men
arraigned, as members of local band
of White Caps, for numerous out
RACES committed against their telloW
men, asked TO enter plea Of guilty,
imploring the mercy of the court.
They were then sentenced to two
years in the Penltentlary. There was
most affecting scene in the court.
The prisoners broke down completely
aed wept and begged the Judge to
show them as much mercy as he could.
The wife OF white cap held small
baby up to the Judge and begged
him to spare her husband. The Judge
held the baby moment and soothed
its mother, but could not spare the
father. The scene in the court room
was most affecting. Thus ends the
long continued reign Of lawlessness,
and peace once more dwells secure
under the protecting arms Of the law

the National Commission over the
question of Sunday opening.
The board of lady managers are
bathed in anger and tears because Mrs
Potter Palmer and Mrs. John A
Logan monopolize the social honors.
The inhabitants of hot Eastern
countries, ON exhibition in Midway
Plaisance, are almost in a state of mu.
tiny because the weather is damp and
chilly.
The commissioners from Great
Britain returned their invitations to
the opening unused, because their Sec
retary was not included.
The State of Washington is in re-
volt because while three of their CON-
missioners were in attendance, only
one platform ticket was granted for
the opening.
And there are several counties still
to hear from.
CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
1t will not take as many people to
conduct the fair as expected. There
are $500 people on the pay role at an
expense of 226,O00 per month. OF
these 1900 are to be Topped OFF at
once, and many "college professor"
who has secured a position with a
view of seeing the fair, expenses paid,
is doomed to disappointment. 1t is
safe to say that none of the high
priced officials will be dropped. Their
services will not only be considered
necessary during the coming six
months but also long afterward, TO
settle up and gather up the debris.
HE BORED A HOLE.
How great matter a red hot poker
kindles. This was practically illus
trated by the first alarm Of fire in
Jackson Park. A workman (of course
he was plumber) wishing to make
hole in the floor of one of the restau-
rants, bored it with red hot poker.
AS only cold victuals were being
served, the sight of anything appar-
emily warm excited the guests and an
alarm was given, bringing out the
whole Park fire department. Wall
street got it that the Worlds Fair was
burning and stocks began to tumble
more rapidly than before. The busi-
ness world evidently counts that the
exposition will divert public attention
sufficiently from shaky affairs to ena-
BILE them to tide over.

WORLDS FAIR LETTER.
The Prospect Darkened by Internal
Dissentions and Decreased
Attendance.

The "World's Fair" yet continues to
furnish the paramount theme of all
important public interest both at
home and abroad. 1t will, therefore,
be of universal interest, as well per-
haps as general regret that the news
is made public concerning the present
unfavorable aspect of affairs, which
should have been moving grandly for
ward with giant strides toward the
expected goal of splendid achievement
and magnificent success. But, Just
now at least, this does not appear to
be the case. OF course all this will
come right in time, and the great
American exposition will yet be
crowned with the laurel of renown.
In the meantime we submit the fol-
lowing letter from the DEMOCRATS
Worlds Fair correspondent:
"Ye who have tears to shed, prepare
to shed them now"
If Mrs. Potter Palmer, president of
the board of lady managers, had used
the above quotation, she could not
have more effectually accomplished
that result then when she arose before
the board in the woman's building,
and declared with much emotion that
she was disgusted with the dissensions
in the board and ready to resign her
position. AS rapidly as sobs would
permit, the ladies assured her that
they were her staunch supporters aud
wished her to remain at their head.
A fearful vote of confidence in their
president was then recorded, and for
the moment at least harmony prevail
ed. There were no dissenting votes,
but four ladies declined to be record
ed in the affirmative. The immediate
cause of dissension was the lack ofso-
cial recognition extended the board
upon the opening day visit of Presi-
dent Cleveland and the Duke of
Veragua.

"ToIL AND TROUBLE"

This Is a world of trouble. Coinci-
dent with the opening Of the fair the
Chicago Walters union ordered a
strike. The walters have been receiv-
ing ten dollars per week and their
meals. They now demand twenty
dollars for the coming six months.
Half dozen big restaurants were
closed for one day owing to the sud-
denness of the demand and nearly all
are running with such light force
that the guest has to be patient
waiter in order to get service.
Then Parmelee's omnibus line, the
only one in the city, struck against the
hotels because not allowed to keep
runners in the corridors, and refuses
to call for guests wishing to leave the
city. AS cabs cost no more than
buses it looks as though the omni-
bus line had amputated its nasal
organ.

NO CROWD YET.

Now that the glamor OF opening
day" is over and the Worlds Fair is
settling down to business, the crowds
are disappointing This is due to the
fact, as my previous letters have ex-
planned, that the exhibitors still have
great deal to do. The Chicago
News was bold enough to make this
statement after the opening;
The buildings of the White City
have been inaugurated and its gates
have been thrown open with q grand
flourish, but much remains to be done.
There is yet no Worlds Fair, properly
speaking, at Jackson Park. But there
will be in two or three weeks if the
authorities in the administration
building continue to urge on the " ork
Of installation as vigorously as during
the last ten or fifteen days. If they
don't it may be month or longer be-
fore all the exhibits are in place.
There are large number Of visitors
in the city, but preparations are SO
ample for taking care of an immense
crowd that at present the attendance
is not noticeable. The leading regu-
lar hotels have fair crowd Of guests
and their corridors have the appear
ance lin point of crowd of two or
three days before national conven-
ton when the advance guard has
come upon the ground. Later on the
city will undoubtedly be thronged,
but good many people are destined

BR!GGSITE CONVENTION.
liberal Presbyterian Ministers to Meet In
Secret Conference.

secret Conference
CLEVELAND, Nov. About so of the
most prominent liberal ministers of the
Presbyterian church in the, large cities will
meet in Cleveland on Wednesday to decide
upon policy for the future. Every effort
has been made to keep the matter secret,
though the result would be made known
at all events. Some of the most promi-
lent Briggs men in the country will be
present. The circular which called the
meeting says:
THE present condition of the Presbyte-
rian church occasions deep solicitude and
calls for immediate and serious considera-
ton. Many ministers and elders view
with apprehension the tendency to assump-
ton and Capitalization of power, and the
disposition both to impose practically new
dogmas without due constitutional process
and to treat the formal action and over
lures of presbyteries with small respect.
They fear lest reasonable tolerance and
the liberty of opinion hitherto enjoyed I'M
der the standards shall be abridged and not
n few devoted office bearers crowded out of
good ecclesiastical standing, or even out OF
the church.
''In this state of affairs it will not answer
for loyal Presbyterians to be inactive or in
definite We cannot afford to be silent I'M
der implied suggestions of heterodoxy, nor
to seem to acquiesce passively in arbitrary
assumptions, rigid exclusiveness and I'M
constitutional procedure. Wa must not
suffer worthy brethren to be forced need
lessly to leave the church. A frank con-
ference of wise and representative men,
who shall consider what action is needed
at this present juncture to maintain our
constitutional safeguards, encourage our
disturbed brethren and give frank expires
sion to our views and positions, seems to
have become an imperative necessity"
The call is issued by committee of the
New York synod, which was appointed
after the disposal of the Briggs case.

three years afterward, leaving one child, n
son, then not quite ; years old, who is still

first cousin, James u. Scott, son of the late
Thomas II. Scott, who is now in London,
will give her away.

nounced, will create great sensation in
London society, where Miss Grant is not
only well known for her beauty, but is a
favorite guest at the notable houses in
London and the country for her unusual
intelligence and conversational faculty.

the choice of Alderman George b. Swift,
he receiving 62 votes to for Alderman
McGillen, one blank being cast. The Demo
cratic aldermen remained in the council
chamber until the time set for the regular

place on the plea that the original meet
ing, of which he had been chairman, had
not adjourned. The Republican aldermen
were locked up in room half n square
from the city hall to keep away from the

by the Democrats to bring them over TO
