THE WORLDS FAIR.
Continuance After the Formal
Closing.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-Although the off,
cial existence of the Columbian exposi-
ton ends October 81, it has been practi-
cally decided that the gates of Jackson
Park will be kept open after that time.
The board of directors voted to close
promptly at the end of October. Since
that time they have weakened and left
the matter of keeping open or closing
with the committee named. The senti-
ment of the committee is in favor of
keeping the grounds and buildings open
as long as the weather will permit and
keeping up the entertainment as long as
the public, by its attendance, makes it
profitable. There are to be formal official
closing exercises, of course, on the last
day of October, but on November l the
gates will be swung open just the same,
and any one who has fifty cents to leave
at the ticket windows may walk inside.

CREW LEAVES FOR PORTLAND.

Two small boat-1oads of river steamer
employees left Corvallis this afternoon for
Portland. Mr.. Hadley furnished them
with sufficient provisions to last until
their destination was reached, as they
have barely enough money to pay their
expenses from Portland to their respective
homes. Capt. BELL says that the river
boats, Hoag and Three Sisters, will not
be allowed to run until back salaries are
paid. Receiver Had1ey did all in his
power to make satisfactory adjustment
of the matter, but to no purpose. A fiat
refusal was made to his proposition ask
ing the men to work on half salary.

Good Roads Tor Maine.

There is coming to be a very general
pie in this State that our roads are not as
good as they ought to be, considering the
large amount of money annually expended
upon them; that they are not as good as
business principles and true economy would
demand that they should be; that they are
no; as good as they should be to
enable our farmers, successfully. to
compete with those of other
states more dcnsely populated and, conse-
queutly, better supplied with markets, and
railroad facilities; that they are not as good
as they should be to recommend our State
to the favorable notice of the large number
of tourists rho annually visit us, and who
know what a good road is; that they are
not as good as is demanded by the large
manufacturing industries, which are now
so rapidly growing up among us, and do
not encourage such enterprises; and finally
that they are not as good as our best social
well being demands that they should be.
More than half of the states in the Union
are now manfuly struggling with this
difficult problem. Some have already set
tied it in their own way. and have actually
begun the work of building over their roads
on scientific and business-iike principles.
Very soon nearly all will have made great
improvements in this line, and shall Maine
stand back and look on. while her condition
by comparison, becomes still worse than it
is now No. All friends of progress
all public spirited citizens, all lovers of the
good old State of Maine and believers in
her grand future should interest themselves
in this most necessary reform and help on
in every possible way work that promises
to do so much for the good OF our State IN
all the future.
