An Imposter.

There is a sallow-faced "dude"
canvassing the residence portion of
this city with lot Of cheap, trashy
novels which he offers to the "good
ladies" of the house for exorbitant
prices and in a canting, whining
voice beseeches them in the name
Of suffering humanity to buy to
keep him from starving to death,
as he is consumptive and cannot
work. The generous-hearted, char
itably disposed "good lady" usually
gives him sums ranging from 25s
to 81 and with profuse "god bless
yous," he bows himself out. This
same party patronizes heightened
eating houses and mounts the
bootblack chairs on the public
streets to have shine.

MIDwINTER FAIR.
Large Attendance Yesterday and Splendid
Interest Shown.

Large Attendance Yesterday and Splendid
Interest Shown.
Nothing short of a calamity can
now prevent the fair from being a
success. Already the indications
point to results which surpass the
most sanguine hopes entertained
by Mr.. Rose at the inception of the
fair. Yesterday between 5000 and
1000 people passed into the build
ing.
The musical entertainment last
night was par excellence, and the
capacity of the hall was quite over
taxed. Mr.. Con Boyle made a de-
cided hit. He is engaged to per-
form every night except next Tues
day.
Those who visit the Mexican ex-
hibit in the basement are treated
to a bonafide Mexican meal-not
the cup of Indifferent coffee served
in thick cups of yellow nicked
china or the chile-con-carne from
bovine of doubtful species, that
monstrous dish gorged on the
plaza. This department is super
intended by Sonora Cassiano, I'M
der the auspicies of the Woman's
Exchange. The universal verdict
is that the dishes are of SURPRISING
excellence. One can we'll afford to
spend q short while among the
filagree workers, and the flower
and candy men.
The Deutscher Maennerchor has
accepted Mr.. Roses invitation to
participate in the exercises on
German day.
Mr.. Rose announces that italian
day will be on February 3rd in
stead of February 4th. The
Christopher Columbus society has
notified him of its acceptance of
his invitation to participate in
the exercises on that date. Nat
ional music will be furnished by
the Italian orchestra, and Hertf
hall will be decorated with the
national banners and insignia.
Tomorrow is children's day. A
special program has been arrang.
ed for the afternoon. The even
ing program will consist Of
negro and plantation melodies.
The Midwinter Fair Herald, a
neatly printed and carefully gotten
up leafiet, contains the daily pro-
gram and has running comments
on the fair. 1t is given away. All
the catalogues are also free, so that
person has no extra expense af-
ter entering the building.
Mr.. Rose has issued season tick
cts at the very moderate price Of
$1.50.
The outside Of the building is
nicely decorated and a bulletin
board is placed on the south side,
on which the daily program is
posted.
The program for tonight is as

Sentiments of Judge McCouue,l.

whether We succeed or not in this
campaign depends upon the intelli-
gence and independence of the common
people. Locally it depends most upon
the independence and courage of the
workinGman. l do not recall that any
forward movement in civilization was
ever initiated and promoted by the
well-to-do. A full purse always makes
the owner of it satisfied with the pre-
Vailing conditions. In order to keep
his purse just as full he always appeals
TO the patriotism of the people, and
juggles with all the phrases of the
moral code to induce everybody else to
regard the present status as sacred.
Because he Is prosperous he pins on the
American flag the awful lie of sound
money and prosperity" and makes us
walk under it day after day. BY
sound money he means the present
gold standard, and by prosperity" he
means the present condition, which is
impoverishing the great body of the
people We are all prosperous because
he is prosperous. That is his argument.
and. disagreeing with him, he distrusts
our intelligence and our patriotism.

No Gold for Pensiouers.

An old Grand Army man recently
addressed the following letter to the
New York World:
MIR. Mckinley a few weeks ago said
to some Grand Army men in Ohio that
the national debt is one of honor, and
the greatest debt the country owes was
TO those who preserved it in the re-
beiiion from destruction. He then said
we were in duty bound to pay those
VINO loaned money to support the war,
and those who fought to preserve the
Union to pay them in the best money
or the nation Gas, 1 suppose. meaning
gold. Now this month there will be
something over $35 900 pension
money given to those who saved our
homes, and 1 ask every one of these
deserving men to demand from our
government gold, and see il they will
get it. If they do not it will show how
empty these words are.

Are they paying you in gold, boys?
Where is that honest money" they
are urging you to vote for? 1t is too

lar of it. 1t is locked up in the banks
