ALL FOR THE CHILDREN.
Their Week at the Fair Will Be Grand
Affair

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Beautiful autumn
weather smiled on the opening of chill
dren's week at the worlds fair. Al,
the public schools are closed for the
entire Week; the admission for children
under Is years is reduced to 10 cents
and to make sure none should be barred
out by reason of lacking that amount
or the price of transportat ton to the
fair grounds, the citizens have con-
trlbuted money to buy tickets by the
thousands to give them, and pay the
fares on railroads and steamboats,
which have made special rates for the
week.
Others have arranged that little peo-
pie shall not lack for something to eat
because they have not the wherewithal
to pay for it. Sandwiches and other
edibles in quantities are provided for
them. The fair officials have also ar
ranged series of entertainments spe-
cially for their benefit, from games in
he stock pavilion to concerts by tomtom
beaters from the midway.
At noon the youngsters, who have
been trooping in all day by the thous-
ands, rang the liberty bell in honor of
Bestolozzi, Frobe- and Horace Mann,
friends of education.
Plans to make the last day at the
fair grander than Chicago day in ev-
cry respect are being formulated by
the directory. The first steps towards
closing the exposition in glorious
manner on Oct. 81, were taken today
A resolution was passed declaring it
the sense of the directors that the date
should be used to further honor the dis
coverer by calling it Columbus day,
and another resolution extends Il formal
and urgent invitation to President
Cleveland and his cabinet to lend their
presence to the memorable occasion.
The executive committee will set
about to plan many and diversified at
fractions for the final day, which is
expected even to eclipse the wonderful
record of the day set apart for the mu-
nicipality. The directory has not, and
will not take any action toward keep
ing the fair open after Oct. 81, in spite
of the senseless talk to that effect that
is being given by some Chica go news
papers. There will, of course, be much
to see after the final day and admis-
sions will be probably SO cents for three
or four weeks later, but Nov. 1 will see
thousands of workmen busy removing
exhibits and beginning the dismantling
of the bui dings.
