TO DRAW THE CROWDS.
Midway PIafsaDce Attractions to BE
Taken Into the Fair Grounds.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE new policy Of
drawing on the heterogeneous population OF
the Midway Plaisance and the ethno logical
village of Indians for special attractions
seems TO have taken the popular fancy. The
willingness of the Midway concessonaires
to Cooperate with the exposition managers
while prompted by motives of self interest
shows that there is no war between the ex-
position powers and the Midway people on
the question Of Sunday closing.
The special attraction managers have ar
ranged some kind OF program Tor every DAY
this week. The state procession OF his
hghness. the Maharajan OF kapurthaia,
and his review of the military organizations
within the fair grounds this afternoon, will
be the most novel and gorgeous spectacle
vet provided for the amusement of visitors
The Maharajah also considers that he has
been highly honored by the Invitation to
put himself on show as the central figure In
a spectacle OF oriental ponlp.
An international ball and banquet has
been arranged for tomorrow night on big
scale. 1t Is to be given in the Natatorium
and Model Vienna cafe on the Plaisance.
The participants will include every nation
atty and tribe within the gates of the
White City. 1t promises to be like grand
masquerade ball without the masks. and
will certainly be the first event OF such a
character ever held
over 100 foreigners Of both sexes and all
coiOrS in their native dress Will be on the
ball room floor, and the dancing promises
to be as uniqe the kaleidoscopic ap-
pearance of the thronS. The director gen.
eraI has been invited to LAD the grand
march with an American woman, but he
tation will wait on him today to urge an
acceptance. The women from the beauty
show and American Indians will he in the
front of the motley marching column.

Her Career fn the Census Omce.

One year and three months of Miss Pol
hrti's career was spent in the censIs office.
She was appointed upon the reconmcnja-
ton Of MIR. Breckinridge, and her official
life was suddenly cut of by the action OF
the Secretary of the Interior about two
years ago because of a remark made when
the news Of the death of Gen Sherman was
received. She expressed relief that the
devil had at last gotten his own. She en-
tered the Office upon a salary of $50 per
Year, and was promoted to $500 During her
brief connection with the Office she was
transferred eight times. She was net a
good clerk as the numerous transfers
would indicate. She was Indifferent to her
work, and therefore did 10 badly, and the
various chiefs of the division We're anxious
10 get rid of her and to have some one in
her place that would work. BY some in the
census office she is spoken of kind Of
crank. or, perhaps, cranky. She was con-
stantly calling on the chief CLERK or the
superintendent about some little matter
which did not amount to much. but which
she made important Altogether, the mern-
ory she left in the census office is not of
the kind that indicates very popular en-
ploye, especially with the higher officials.

Changing the Book Marks Loses
Lawyer His Case.


Lawyer His Case.
From Pearson's Weekly.
A lawyer defending a promissory note
went to lunch, leaving his books and cita-
tons on the table in the court room. The
opposing counsel sneaked back into the
room and changed the places of all his book
marks. In the afternoon the lawyer, taking
up his books. referred the court to his au-
thorities. His lordship noted every volume
and page carefully and took the case under
consideration. In rendering his opinion he
said
II was inclined. after hearing the argu-
ment of counsel for the defendant, to nom
suit plaintiff, but find. after referring to
the authorities quoted by counsel, none of
them bear on his case. and l am led to think
that the gentleman has willfully been trying
to insult the court. He has referred me to
an action of an Ifishman who sued the pro-
prietor Of monkey for damages for biting
him. to a case OF arson, one Of burglary. two
of petty larceny and three divorce cases.
none of which bear on an action to recover
on q promissory note. Perhaps the grossest
insult to the court il referring to Duck
worth VS.. Roozyman,' an action charging
defendant with breach of promise. Judg-
ment for plaintiff. with costs"
The lawyer never knew what the matter
was, and to this day thinks the judge was
out Of his mind.

fused again. After we had been on the way

Sam Hill is the name Of a colored man
who attempted to clean his vest with gas
oiine and smoke a cigarette at the same
time. He was employed at the flying
horses near Florida avenue and 18th street

two things at one time was made A
spark from the cigarette fell on the sat

sion. The mans clothing was soon envel-
oped in flames, and before bystanders could
extingush them the unfortunate victim
was frightfully burned about the face and
body He was taken to the Freedrnan's
Hospital in the eighth precinct patrol wagon
His condition is serious and he may die from,
