lew is thoroughly versed in the early
history of this county, and knows the
location of all the forts that were erect

mark the spots where these forts stood.

TIE FAIR LOSING MONEY.
CUTTING DOWN THE EXPENSES.

CHICAGO, Aug. with the clos
ing Of the gates last night the first
half Of the Columbian exposition pass
ed into history. The number of paid
admissions during the month was a.
75G97I, the largest number Of paid
admissions was registered July 4, when
aS3,s73 people deposited the admis-
sion fee. The smallest number was
on Sunday last when only 1867 paid
admissions were recorded. The paid
attendance for May was I,oso,o37,
while that of June was 2,6o5,II3.
Officials of the fair are greatly
pleased with the artistic success of the
exposition, but this much cannot be
said of the financial end of the enter
prise. The attendance has failed
largely to reach the mark it was ex-
pected to attain during the first half
of the fair and especially during the
month Of July. For this the railroads
are in the main held responsible and
the officials do not hesitate to criti-
else their stubbornness and meanness
in refusing to make a one-fare round
trip at the beginning of the fair.
THE INVESTMENTS NOT PROFITABLE.
The present hard times have had
much to do with the poor attendance,
but the management thinks the peo-
pie would have attended largely had
the railroad fares been reduced. There
must necessarily be a large attendance
during the remaining period of the
fair if the management expects to pay
its debts, and this is all they now hope
to do. 1t is a foregone conclusion
that the stockholders of the fair will
get nothing on their investment nor
will their subscriptions be returned,
as the money for which the exposition
is legally liable amounts to SO much
that it will take a tremendous daily
average of paid admissions to release
the obligation.
President Higinbotham is as hope
full as any Of the officials in the mat
ter of finance. He said to-day: 81
have only one fault to find with the
first half of the fair. The attendance
has not been what it ought to have
been. In all other respects the expo
sition has been success as no one can
reasonably deny, but in that respect
the first half is by no means the bet
ter half.
THE EXPENSES TO BE REDUCED.
81 believe that the attendance from
now on will steadily increase. l be-
lieve that the admissions this week
will exceed those of last. There have
now been about six and half million
admissions. Certainly, more than
that many will be registered during
the remainder of the fair and the to-
tai attendance will more than double
those figures. The latter half of the
fair will surprise US as much with a
large attendance as the first half has
disappointed us with bad"
The retrenchment policy will be
renewed at once with increased vigor.
One of the first effects Of economy is
felt in the elimination of one especial
night per week. This feature has
been abridged to two nights. There
will be no music at night except upor
those days and the hours for the day
concerts have been changed so as te
divide the music equally between the
morning and afternoon. The free
orchestral concerts will be given a.
usual, at least for.the present. Th'
new arrangement will work saving
of few hundreds daily.

very bright to the farmer, and many
prefer to sell from the field at the low
rate rather than hold it, in anticipa-
ton of an advance.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CLUB.
Sound Problems Discussed by Prof. Wells
and Rev. Mr.. ID enison.

'sThe Problem of Our Present Christi
anity'' was the subject under discussion
at the regular April meeting of the Con-
gregational Club at the Preble House
last evening, and Prof. D. Collins Wells
of Bowdoin, and Rev. Mr. Dennison of
Boston were the speakers.
Mr.. A. A. Lane was elected member
of the club
ssThe Problem of Our Present Christi
anity'' is the problem of sociology. Prof.
Wells treated itin an able and entertaining
manner, speaking of the crowding of the
people to the large cities, which res
suits in the abandonment in many cases
of their rural homes. and tie creating
of new conditions of life which he urged
the churches should study in order to
meet them successfully. The same APP
piled to the changed conditions in the
employment Of labor caused by the crea-
ton of great corporations employing
thousands of men. Prof. Wells made an
earnest plea for progress of the churches
to meet these constantly changing condi-
tons. ~

NO FIRE ENGINES.
The Town of Wilton Learns a Lesson at a
Cost of $40, 900.

PENNINGTON, April 3.-Last evening
about 8 OF clock fire was discovered in
Leavitt's livery stable in Wilton, sup
posed to have caught from defective
chimney. There was no apparatus in the
village to fight fire and the flames made
sad havoc with the nest of wooden
buildings adjoining. Itwas 2 O'Clock
this morning before the fire was under
control. From the livery stable the
flames leape,d to the Wilton hotel and
stable and then extended both ways on
the south side of Main street. Fourteen
buildings are in ruins, including the
Wilton hotel and six stores, the post of
fee, Wilton Record newspaper office and
three dwelling houses. The total loss is
said to be about $40,0 900; about half in
sured.
The following are some of the losses:
Dascomb e. Richards, general store,
$40. 900, insurance, $4,000; Pike d Moss
man, general store, loss estimated at
10000, insurance, $4,000; H. s.. Hough-
ton, hardware, loss $4,000, Insurance
$4,000; Milton Holmes, boots and shoes,

and part of the goods; loss $1,000, in
sured 5000; B. NJ. Small, law Office, DR..
Rowell. dentist, and Miss Florence
Noyes, dressmaker, lost their offices, but
saved the contents. Mrs. B. NJ Allen.
L. r. Hiscock and Mrs. Betsy Magrath
lost their homes but the contents were
saved.
Joshua Green, an aged citizen of the
village, died from heart failure caused
by the excitement of the fire.
7 The students of Wilton academy work
ed hard and saved much property. 'Prin-
cipal Croswell was unable to hold school
today so tired were all by their labors.
Many of those burned out are wealthy
citizens of the town and they are already
talking of rebuilding the burned district.
Help was summoned from Pennington
but owing to trouble with the telegraph
wires the operators were unable to send
orders for q special train.
The citizens worked like veterans with
pals and buckets, and aided by north
erIy wind they were able to keep the fire
from crossing the street, though build
ings there were badly scorched by the
heat.

BRAZIL THEIR PROMISED LAND.
Colored Men Seeking the Privileges the
Solid South Denies Them.

Topeka, April 8. --Col. John M. Brown,
the originator of the movement having
for it's object the settling of negroes in
South America, is now completing the
final arrangements, and looks for the
early accomplishment of his purpose.
He has secured the appointment of a
committee to go to Brazil for the pur-
pose of obtaining concessions from that
government. This committee will re-
ceive power to make purchases for the
various colonies now formed.
The association has been strict in de-
manding two things of those applying
for membership. The. first that they
must be negroes Of education, and the
second that they must possess property.
The leaders of this movement have
wealth and education, and now hunger
after social equality, which they say will
never be accorded in this country. They
desire the professions and the trades
opened to them. and have given up the
struggle in the United States, and have
turned their eyes to country where
mixed blood, or even pure blood Of what
ever character it may be, is no barrier.

have yielded to the fever, to the extent
of taking his first step in the wrong path;
After that it was of course the same old
story of futile efforts at recovery winch
only plunged the victim in deeper.
Cashier Shaw is believed to have made
moderate losses in another direction. He
was very earnest temperance man, ana
his interest did not stop with the exer-
else of considerable activity as a Third
Party leader. He has tried to assist men
whom he found in the chains Of the drink
habit. In number of instances he has
persuaded such men to leave Off their
habit; and when they have reformed be
has assisted them in business ways. One
or two such men at least have afterwards
returned to their old ways, allowing their
business TO become involved, with con-
sequent losses to their patron. Whether
it was Mr.. Shaw's own money or the
bank's that il 81 Eli S#ES
Went For His Philanthropic Work
does not seem to matter much, since the
bank must have paid in thesend.
1t is reported that Captain G.. E. Pat
ten, j. O. Shaw and J. 0. Patten became
bondsmen' of the cashier three years ago.
AS the defalcation began about - years
ago, the question is raised as to the de-
gree of liability of these later bondsmen.
Several of the earlier bondsmen are dead,
leaving estates which might be liable.
AS is usual in such cases, there is more
or less condemnation of the directors of
the bank for their failure to know what
has been going on; but there does not
seem to be anything to indicate that the
Lincoln bank directors have been any
more negligent than those of many other
banks that have or have not gotten into
trouble. 1t is evident that Cashier Shaw
was very skilful in covering his tracks,
since for twelve years he has bamboozled
the United States bank examiners, and
would probably have had fair chance
to do so again had not Examiner Hatch
insisted on proceeding Immediately to
business, when he walked into the bank
Friday.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr..
j. O. Shaw. He is one of the most pop
ular and respected citizens of Bath, a
man whose integrity is above question.
At the recent city election he came with
in three votes of election as mayor, and
since Captain Patten, the Citizens can
didate, has declined to serve, he has been
looked upon as the coming mayor. There
is, of course, no reason why he should
not be elected now, except the apprehen-
sion that he may not feel like continuing
in the contest.

BELFAST, April 3.-The Right Hon. A,
J. Balfour, Conservative leader in the
House of Commons, and.formerly chief
secretary for Ireland arrived in Belfast
today to deliver addresses in support of
the opposition of the Ulster Unionists to
Home Rule. A vast coneourse greeted
Mr.. Balfour ON his arrival, and the thou
sands of Unionists cheered loudly as he
made his appearance. The multitude
was so enthusiastic that they took the
horses out of the carriage which bore
the conservative statesman and eagerly
sought the honor of drawing the vehicle
through the streets. There was an eX-
tensive display of flags, and bands
played Orange and Loyalist airs. Nj
merous Populations presented formal
and cordial greeting to the ex-secretary,
dwelling upon the loyalty of Ulster to
the union with Great Britain, and extoll-
ing the services of Balfour to the cause,
Mr.. Balfour replied with an earnest dec
laration of the resolution Of the Con-
servatives to resist Home Rule to the ut
most.

Commander of the Loyal Legion.

CLEVELAND, O., April 3.-The at
tempt to make ex-President Harrison
the commander Of the Loyal Legion in
place of ex-President Hayes, deceased,
received set back in this city last night.
In order to be senior commander of the
LOYAL Legion it is necessary that the
applicant for the office shall have first
been state commander. The plan was
to make ex-President Harrison comman-
der of the Legion of this state, From
this position it would have been an
easy matter to promote him to the head
of the order. A straw vote was taken
among the Cleveland members to the
number of 30, and it was found that
their preference was for Ex-Governor
Cox. AS the Cleveland members can
prevent the election of candidate, it
isconceded that ex-President Harrison
will not be elected to the command o.
the Loyal Legion.
