DISLIKE THE ONE JUDGE PLAN.

Sixteen Count ries withdraw Their Exc
hibits from Competition at the Fair.
CHICAGO, May 81. 1S9S.-The sixteen
countries that withdrew their displays
from competition at the Chicago Fair,
yesterday, on account of the
dissatisfaction with John Boyd Thatch-
er's system, have decided TO enter into
competition among themselves. They
will establish Board Of Jurors indepen-
den of those in the American section and
issue diplomas in utter disregard OF Mr..
Thatcher's work.
The awards granted by the Commits
sioners. VINO lately Withdrew, will be the
only evidence of international competi-
tion at the Fair, for the South American
Republics are expected TO join The move
ment. Mr.. Thatcher will. therefore. be
left with nothing but the United States
section, and the diplomas be issues will
be of little more value than those fur
nished at an Interstate fair. The Inter-
national diplomas will be carried away
oy the foreign commissioners who re-
fuse to accept Mr.. Thatcher's ene-judge
plan of making awards.

Farmers Paris Green Believed to Ne
the Cause.
NEW YORK, May 27. l893-A story con
cerning fourteen cases of. mysterious
poisoning among half a hundred board
ers at Mrs McKinlay's fashionable board
ing house in South Brooklyn, has just
leaked out. Four Of the patients
are confined TO their beds
ana one is lying at the point of death.
The theories advanced contradict each
other. at first it was thought the sick
ness was caused by poison in some straw
berries that were served for supper. This
theory WAS upheld by Drs. John Harri-
gan, Burn and Wallace. DIR. McCorkle be-
lieve poison was OH some lettuce that had
been served for supper; but all
four physicians agreed that the presence
of poison was due TO carelessness Of far
mers in sprinkling paris xreen. A queer
Bhing is that none OF the patients
were taken i'll until several hours after
they ate supper. Some OF these ate straw
berries aud did not eat lettuce. Others
ate lettuce and did not eat strawberries.
