CHICAGO, May 2.-Bright sun
shine and clear sky made the big
white Worlds Fair buildings at,
tractive to look upon this morning.
When the gates opened thin
stream OF visitors passed through,
which swelled to steady current
OF humanity as the forenoon wore
on, The early corners were consid.
erably jostled and pushed around
by men removing the debris and
other evidences of yesterdays open
ing. The roads we're a sea of mud
stirred up by the feet of thousands
who gathered yesterday. Director
Burnham says the roadways will be
asphalted within a week. Then in.
stead OF clinging mud, there will
be the smooth even surface which
will turn the water into the sewers
and with it whatever mud NAV ac-
cumlate.
The estimated attendance YES ter.

three hundred thousand.

A Ticket Dater Invented by q Savannah
Man to Prevent Erasures.
Savannah News.
For a long time railroad men
have been endeavoring to get
ticket dater and punch which would
successfully thwart all attempts of
ticket scalpers to erase or alter the
date for the purpose of extending
the time for which ticket is sold.
Such dating stamp has at last
been invented, and the originator
is Savannah man, MIR. Freemen.
who is at the head of the Central
railroad auditing department. Mr..
Freeman has fled his caveat with
the United States commissioner and
with it an application for patent
right.
The stamp is similar to an ordi-
nary stamp, with the addition that
at the same time it stamps on the
ticket the name of the station, rail-
road and date of sale. It cuts
through the cardboard the limitin 9
dates in such manner that it is
impossible to change them without
destroying the ticket altogether
The two boys, however, have
been prominently identified with
the revolutionary movement and
have been under Spanish surveill-
ance for several months
Reports of uprisings throughout

ward to check the uprising which
is now becoming general, appar
emily in keeping with the previous
arrangements of the leaders.
Throughout Havana, Matanzas
and neighboring cities regular
troops are marching in the streets
and drilling constantly. Militis
have been pressed into service anc
extra guards placed around all pub
lie buildings.
The steamer Villsverde, which
