Nature smiles on the exposition this morn
ing, and the prospects are excellent for
the biggest day since the opening. The
wind, which has been blowing from the
north pole for many days. was conspicuous
by its absence from the white city, and the
thermometer rose several degrees to usher in the
day for the dedication Of the Illinois state
building.
The partial suspension of business down
town and the arrival Of the distinguished
visitors from this and other states to
attend the dedication were quickly noticeable
in the early attendance at tho exposition. The
turnstiles at the scores Of gates were kept in
almost constant motion to admit the crowds
which swarmed into the park before the noon
hour.

and their faces were painted with och q running
in streaks from the top Of their foreheads to

The Indians were taken up to the dome
OF the building and given birds-eye

their departure.
THE CASE OF THEODORE THOMAS.
The demand for the resignation Of Theodore
Thomas has brought the national COM
mission and the local directory in u
deadlock. Mr.. Thomas il left in a
very embarrassing position. and. unless
the matter is soon settled, he will retire
from the exposition altogether. The matter
will be brought before the board Of reference
and control. The quarrel has now reached a
point where the entire musical department Of
the fair, for which nearly million dollars have
been provided. is threatened with destruction.
