Assodstsd Press Wor!Ts Far Spsei<s:
CHICAGO, August 6.-The gates OF
the Worlds Fair were thrown open to-
day, but the turnstiles failed to click as
merrIly as on former Sundays.
People who did attend the fair were
either strangers In Ihe city for limit
ed stay or city people who strolled out
to pass 3 day in the cooling shades OF
wooded islauds. The buildings were
open. but the majority OF the ex-
hibits were hidden beneath
stretches OF canvas. The places on
Midway Plaisauce were open and
here the larger portion CT the crowd
congregated. Director General Davis

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 6.--Presi-

President.
Vice President Stevenson reached the
Capital this morning from his home,
Bloomington, His, and sought quarters at
the Ebbitt House.
He spent the day quietly at the hotel,
and this evening went out for short time.
Mr.. Stevenson spoke enthusiastically OF
his experiences and observations while on
his recent trip to the Pacific coast, and ap-
pears TO be in excellent health.

ents alike.
Mr.. Updegraff and Governor Gear, OF
Iowa, como back after an absence.
Mr.. Money, OF Mississippi, will try

There will probably be little done In

corning the message as may have pre-
viously come from the White House.

Senate that IT has been organized and

The afternoon will probably be oc
cupied by the biennial drawing fol
seats.
1t is only by authority Of the rules oi
the House that the Speaker appoints
the committees. The usual custom will
doubtless therefore be followed Of adopt
ing temporarily the rules Of the preyi
Gus Congress. No bills under the rules
can be introduced until the com
mittees have been named, but
the desire OF representatives. tt
keep pace with the Senate In this re-
spect will probably cause a resolution
to be passed suspending the rules so as
to permit the introduction OF bills FOL
reference TO the appropriate commit
tees when appointed.
After the message is read both House
and Senate will probably adjourn ovel
for three daVs.

was scored at the penitentiary
this morning, but In this case

the affair. The mother of the new born
babe is Mrs. Annie Peterson, who Is

smuggling tools into the Franklin coun-
~ isil, with which her husband pur-
posed to make his escape. The husband,
a professional crook, is doing five years
for robbing school-houses, and the de-
voted wife came TO Columbus in her
husbau's behalf. When she Was SEN
fenced two and a half months ago she
begged the Judge TO give her the same
sentence her husband got, as she did
not want to be released until his time
expired, but the Judge was Obdurste.
The child Is legitimate in every sense,
the woman having been true TO her
husband at all times, according TO his
kwn statement. 1t IS a mulatto, and is
