1t is a great show, and one OF the de-
partments that may go on record as be-
ing of special interest TO women and chill
dren without claiming anything that Is
not so. There was 4-yearold tot at the
show today, who wanted TO take home
with her all of the wild-eyed, brown
headed little beagles, that never bark and
never bite, and who insisted on her faith
er's carrying her in his arms down the
row occupied by the fiercs-looking mas

IN THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
"What is corn starch for" was the ques-
tion Miss LiIlle &. Smith. teacher of cook
m n kA as a.sAA all
little girl in the school department at the
state Fair this morning. The little girl,
who was dropping corn starch into sauce,
stopped long enough 10 answer that corn
starch Ia used for thicEening, that il thick
ems just twice as much as the same
amount of -four and must be put in grad
ually. And the teacher said that was
right, and the sauce turned out success
fully. 1t was an exhibition of the meth
DDS being taught in the public schools,
and was participated in by class OF IL
girls and three boys. They made mock
bisque soup, rissoles, with tomato sauce,
scalloped potatoes and baked crackers
with cheese, and il made the crowd look
ing on all hungry. The dishes prepared
were all ''made-overs, and the special
object of the morning lesson was to show
economy In cooking.
The boys from the Sockanossett school
gave u special drill this forenoon, and it
was OhN Vi liC dhH lNdluICs. Inc ut-
partment run by the boys from the re-
form school is a feature every day, and
one OF the best. Most of tho industries
carried on at the school are here repre-
sented. At one end of their section OF |
the building Is the tailor shop, where
three or iour urchins are hard at work |
making clothes for themselves and their |
mates. Next 20 them is the printing Of |
flee, the blacksmith's shop. the machine |
shop an1 the brickGyers' corner, all in ac- |
tive operation. There was one incident |
this morning that would not be easy to |
forget. One OF the boys, theoretically bad |
but really bright end Industrious ana |
honest looking, was hard ar work at his |
anvil pounding horseshoe i'm the right |
shape. A plain and not over prosperous
or happy looking woman stood at the rail |
timidly trying to attract the little /
attention and finally succeeded. |
The boy forgot regulations for a minute, |
dropped his hammer, and was making |
the other boys envious by kissing the |
plain looking woman at the rail- II was /
his mother ana he hadn't seen her since |
he had been sent to the reform school for |
some misdemeanor or other quite awhile |
ago. Then he showed her the horseshoe |
he was making, and they had little con
tidential chat together. The mother |
stayed close 10 the school department all |
day and watched the forge, but didn't |
interfere with the work again. IL was n |
happy day for one woman at the fair, |
anyhow.
This afternoon at 3 O'Clock in the same
department there will be a musical enter
by three graduates of the Per-
kins Institute for the Blind at South Bos-
ION, an institution partially supported by |
Rhode Island, and open to Rhode Island
people. The graduates were: Mr.. Will |
Hammond, Miss Emmie French and Miss
Maud Bannon, all music teachers.
Thursday forenoon there will be anoth-
er lesson in cooking given by Miss Rug
yles OF the Meeting street school, and
Friday there viii be demonstration by
Miss Mailatt of the Manual Training
school, of the methods of preparing food
for the sick.
THE TROUBLE DEPARTMENT.
During the day Chief Bigbee's officers
Rave arrested half dozen gentlemen
whose intentions in coming 10 the fair
we're considered questionable and at noon
he whole batch was hustled over TO the
eighth District Court to appear before
Judge Phillips. One of the prisoners was
discharged. His name was Haley and
he wore a Providence constable's badge,
which the fair policemen thought that he
