PLAISANCE DANSEUsEs.
Correspondent Wonders at Their
Being Cut Off.

Being Cut Off
Special Correspondence of the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The poor dear
people of Chicago are trying to be dis
gusted with some of the performances
OF the naughty danseuses on the Mid
way Plaisance. Now. in connection
with any other exhibit, no objection has
ever been made to placing anything in
the exhibit that would hel in anyway to
illustrate the customs or mode OF living
or the inhabitants of the country repre-
resented, and as part of the Oriental
exhibit, why has not the management
the right to place anything on exhibit
ton that will represent the customs,
mannerismS or discomfOrts and un-
pleasant things of any country of the
East as we'll as the West? The
good people who would be shocked
have surely forgotten that ''all the
world is stage" and "the men and
women simply players" and that
while they may not care at
all for some of the things to be seen in
the Midway PlaiSance, there is an Oh
Ject lesson to be learned that cannot
fail to be very useful, and as this phase
OF life presents great contrast to what
we OF the Occident have been accus-
lomed to see, we ought not to tail to
learn all the lessons that are presented
IN panorama at the Midway Plaisance.
1t IS certainly the most attractive spot
in the whole exhibition, and one can
almost imagine that he is in repre-
sentative Oriental city.
That the fair people will suppress
anything that is necessary part of any
exhibit does not seem at all likely, par
tlcularly as the people who claim to be
shocked do not belong to the ito the
pure all things are pure class. but
rather to that class of people who will
go TO see anything that has sufficient
amount of novelty to recommend it,
and afterwards be diSguSted with what
they saw. If the management are
called upon to draw the moral line on
dances. where, oh where will they be-
gin? Will it be at the Nautch girls dance
or will they 20 on to the Turkish exhibit,
and there draw the line? The poor
managers will have their hands full if
they can satisfy the good people, both
men and women, who go to see these
suggestive exhibitions, and then come
away shocked.
If, as some of the ministers say, the
dances corrupt the youths of the land.
then by all means let the innocentS stay
away, but allow people who are well
balanced morally an opportunity to get
the greatest amount of good from an
etIucaIional point of view that is to be
derived from an intelligent study of the
exhibits at the worlds fair.

A STARTLING RUM0R REGARDING

The storm which was so sudden and
so severe in Minneapolis yesterday was
not felt at any portion of the lake, al
though lake-dwellers looked apprehen-
slvely at the gathering clouds and
remembering the oppressive heat of
the forenoon expected nothing short of
cyclone. But although a fresh breeze
sprang UP, not drop of rain fell, and
the lake was calm. An absurd rumor
went about the lake in the evening,
started by somebody telephoning to
Hotel st. Louis to ask if the Lafayette
hotel had been damaged by wind; that
the Lafayette was blown over. Need
less to say, the big hotel stood the same
as ever.

teen to thirty bushels to the acre of
barley, and about twelve bushels of
oats.
There is some complaint of damage
by rust, chinch bugs and army worms.
but the cases are scattering and not
more than usual. Practically no rain
fell during the week, which was lnjuri-
Gus to all growing crops, especially so
to corn, potatoes. buckwheat, fax, pas
lures and vegetables.
The hay crop is about all secured,
and, although the yield is uneven, it
will PROBABLY average the usual guam
tlty, and, owing to favorable weather
conditions, be well cured and of excel
lent quality.
The potato crop is seriously threat
ened by the drought, and unless needed
rains soon arrive the yield viii be eX-
ceedingly light. Corn continues doing
well. but would be greatly benefited by
timely rains. The condition Of flax is
promising, but large quantity is some
what backward and in danger of being
injured by early frosts.

a Strange Man DIes Suddenly at
Hotel Grace.
A man supposed to be Nat Parker
was found about 2 O'Clock yesterday
morning dead in his room at the Grace
hotel, 400 Washington avenue south.
The deceased arrived in the city Nom
day evening on Milwaukee train, and
had gone at once to the hotel. He COM
planned of being i'll but refused to call a
physician. Later on he sent for some
morphine pills. About O'Clock yester-
day morning he was sleeping so soundly
that he could not be reused, and at z ne
was dead.
Nothing is known of the man, but as
his clothing is marked Nat Parker, the
authorities think that is the name of
the deceased. He is evidently from
Chicago, having cards and street car
checks from that city. The addresses,
E. L. Nichols, 425 Thirty fifth street,
and Miss Graham, 63S Union place,
Weehawken, n. j., were found among
the effects. Parker, if that was his
name, is not poor man, having S97 In
his pocketboOk. Death is supposed by
the coroner to be due to an overdose of

EUGENE HAYS SHOES.
Seven Minnesotans Who Seek to
Wear Them.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. SIN view of
the fact that it is only question of a
few days or weeks at the most until
Eugene Hay must give way to a good
Democrat. the names of the candidates
for that responsible position are inter
esting, The records at the department
of justice show that there is no lack Of
available timber to fill the post on.
Seven candidates have filed applications
and Endorsements, among whom are
some of tine aDlest lawyers in the sta e.
The full list follows: John d. O'Brit

st. Paul; Everett Hammons, of Anok :;
Mayor Charles d'Autremont Jr., of Dr.
luth; ex-Mayor A. K. Pau, of Man

Saltwater. On the face of the re-
turns, Judge McCatferty .e ims to
have Vsry much the best of it al the
present time, although the fact that
there are two other candidates from 81.
Paul may do, as doubtless designed,
great damage to his cause. 1t was not
generally known that John d. O'Brien
would be a candidate, and his entry
into the race will not be apt to cut
very considerable figure. Judge Meth
away started out rather brashly, and
proved to be only a quarter horse.
Mayor d'Autremont, of Duluth, made
his appearance on the track, groomed
by Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio: David
Bennett Hill, of New York, and various
other outside dignitaries, and for time
looked like winner. The Minnesota
men, having once entered the race,
seem to have settled down to three
months truce. This is now at an end.
and the contest will be warm one
from now on.

in Virginia, presided over by member
OF the village council, an address to the
people of st. Louis county was adopted.
1t will be presented to the joint meeting
of the city council and the county COM
misSioners TO be held this month. The
address sets forth the fact that there
are in the village of Virginia 200 fami-
lies, averaging five to the faulty, and
nearly 1000 single men who lave
neither money nor food. aud who are
entirely unable to get money due them
for the work done during the past
three months. Unless they are
given aid there must be great
suffering, and the consequence cannot
but be serious. They ask that SOUP
houses be established at either Vir-
ginia or Duluth, in case free fare can
be obtained to this city, and that some
organic charitable work be under
taken in their behalf. At the other
range towns the situation is practically
unchanged. At Ely and Tower the
people have still some money, and the
pinch will not come until after the 18th,
when the pay roll, which averages about
100000 per month"; will be seriously

Belknap- Richardson contested election
case, stated that he believed that there
was general desire to hear the presi-
dents message before entering upon
the discussion of the election case, and
lie would, therefore, move recess UNI
I'll l2:45. The motion was unanimously
/ cOncurred in. When the house con-
vened at 12:45, the presidents message
was communicated to congress, and
read by the clerk of the house.
When order had been restored Mr.
OFarrell called up the case of Richard
son and Belknap, both claiming to have
"prlma facie" title to q seat in the
! house from the Fifth Michigan district.
Mr.. Burrows presented the case of Mr..
Belknap, and contended that the certif-
| cate which Mr.. Belknap held was one
of the best ever presented to the house.
Mr.. Weadock presented the claims of
Mr.. Richardson, stating that the action
of the supreme court of Michigan was
clearly without jurisdiction. Messrs.
Springer, Brown Qnd.), Heard and
| OFarrell also maintained the legality
of Richardson's claim, and Mr.. Dalzell
attacked 1t. Mr.. Oates took a middle
course. He admitted that the case was
difficult one to decide Two mem
bers came from the same district,
each properly certified. The mat.
ter should not be disposed of in
haste. Members of the house could at
| ford to do right. and in order that they
might have an opportunity to do so he
suggested that the whole question be
referred to the committee on elections
when appointed. In the line of this
suggestion DIR. Dingley moved that the
matter be referred to special commit
tee of five members, to be appointed by
the speaker, with instructions to report
thereon within ten days. Mr.. Dingley's
motion was lost-yeas 139, nays 1914.
The following Democrats voted with
the Republicans in the affirmative:
Bower, Cobb, Cummings. Hail (Minne-
sota), Harris, Harter. Hays. Martin On
diana, Oates and Tracey. The Popu-
lists voted with the Democrats.
Then came the vote on the Repub-
lican resolution declaring Belknap en-
titled to his seat on a prima facie case,

THE LUNIBERMEN.
Meeting OF the Mississippi VaIie
Association.

Meeting OF the Mississippi Valley
association.
The semi-annual meeting of the Mis-
sissippi Valley Lumbermen's associa-
ton was begun yesterday morning in
the Lumber Exchange.
The meeting was called to order at IL
o'clock by Second Vice President Will
lam Irvine. The report of Secretary
Mind was largely devoted to the details
OF the work undertaken last spring by
the association, to secure uniform grad
ing of lumber. This. the report stated,
has so far progressed that the territory
of the association is very we'll covered,
and there has been very complete sue
cess. except, perhaps, in the Minneap-
oils and Mississippi district. In these
less has been accomplished owing to
the presence of larger perpleXities, but
II Is predicted that the good results will
be felt everywhere as soon as the trade
resumes the normal condition.
The only individual report made by
the secretary was from the Clinton Mill
company. which reported that its cut
would he reduced about third of what
had been expected. and that they would
only purchase 100000 feet OF RATED
lumber.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Barber,
chairman of the special committee, sub
mitted the following:
Resolved, That it is the sentiment of
this meeting that because of the money
stringency and the impossibility of OBJ
tanning currency with which to pay the
current bills for labor, we recommend
that the normal cut OF the mills within
the territory of the association between
Aug. and Nov. 10 be reduced one-half,
and that we hereby pledge ourselves. to
carry out this action.
A long discussion followed, and sew
eral amendments were offered fixing
the date for closing the mills at Sept i,
Sept. Is and Sept. 20, without action
being taken. Finally motion to close
Sept. 20 was adopted.
The BODY passed a resolution favor
able to the repeal of the Sherman act.

The condition of spring wheat re-

KNOCKED OUT,
State Suffers Defeat in It's Case
Against State Bank.

Against State Bank.
The state received black eye in the
decision rendered by the court of the
state of Minnesota against the State
bank, the depositors winning easily.
The matter is the most important one
that has come before the court for years,
as never before has decision been ren-
dered wherein it was specifically set
forth to what extent the state is TO be
preferred in bank assignments. and also
whether or not bond to the state is as
mere waste paper or is actual security
TO the state. The result of the decision
means much to the depositors in the
bank, for they will now possibly realize
something out of the failure. The de-
clsion terSely dismisses the order to show
cause, and is signed by Judges Smith
and Pond, Judge Canty refraining from
aifiXing his signature.
