The Bic FAIR
IS NOW CLOSED
A Brilliant Victory Won
for the Cause of Home
Industry.
Over Two Hundred Thousand
People Attended During
the Month.
AN OBJECT LESSON TAUGHT.
Closing Scenes Full of Life and in
Keeping With the Entire
Exposition.
AN OBJECT LESSON TAUGHT.

The Home Industry Exposition at the
Mechanics Pavilion closed last evening in
a blaze of glory and a din that sounded
like Bedlam turned loose. Never IN the
history of the City has there been fair oi
this kind so successful or productive oi
such good results.
The intention of the Mechanics Insti-
tute and the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association was to present the
fact to the public that the manufacturers
of California can produce as good, if not
better, than any in the world. The lesson
has been received and has been appre-
ciated.
The conclusion of the exposition was in
keeping with the occasion. The Pavilion
was thronged from to IL o'clock with
visitors and when the orchestra finished
Home, Sweet Home" the engineer in the
boiler-room pulled the cord of a large
steam whistle, which made such noise
that even thinking had to be suspended
for the time. Nearly all the booths were
specially decorated in gay colors, which
made beautiful and striking scene, and
large numbers of visitors were presented
with bright-h ribbon badges by the ex-
hibitors There was less dissatisfaction
among those interested in the fair than in
former wears.
Alter the crowd began to leave the build
ing mum Der of exhibitors gave banquet
in honor of the management. This be-
came reunion, for the management gave
a banquet to the members of the band.
Speeches were made by Leader Hinrichs,
Alfred Roncovieri, Joseph Cumming, r.
P. Doolan, E. a. Denicke and several
others. Before departing the band sere-
naded the directors.
As stated the affair was success. and
some idea of the nature of the success
may be obtained when it is learned that
during the month of the exposition over
200. 600 persons entered the Pavilion.
OF these $1,000 were paid single admis-
sions and over 1900 were children from
the public and parochial schools. The
others were holders of season tickets, ex-
hibitors, etc. Although the price of 8
single admission was reduced to 25 cents
and the expense was enormous, several
thousand dollars was cleared by the man
agement.
The largest profit, to the community
and TO the manufacturers, cannot be esti-
mated at once. About 14.000 persons
signed the manufacturers and producers
pledge TO patronize home manufactures rs
whenever possible, and the display of such
variety of first-class homemade articles
and goods proved an obiect-lesson the
public will not soon forget.

Saturdays crowds attested
that the people know a good

lever to draw you when you see
such magnetic values displayed
outside. We are selling goods

in the known world, and the
distressing conditions that make
such things possible, we hope
for the welfare of labor, may
never occur again.

QUEEN MAKES FEW MISTAKES.
Why Her Opinion Is Respected by All
of Her Subjects.

OF Her Subjects.
Just think of the blunders all living
monarchs. have made, even Francis Jo-
seph OF Austria, whom men now account
nestor, and all the premiers of our time,
and then reflect on this reign, in which
there has never been a blunder great
enough TO be pereeptible to the million
eyes which always watch court, says the
Spectator. 1t seems to rs that wholly
apart from the difficult question of the
proper limits of loyalty to an individual,
there is enough in the known facts to JUS
Queen Is regarded and which extends far
beyond the limit of her scepter, wide as
the limit has now become.
Foreigners occupy in many respects the
position OF posterity, and among foreign
ers capable OF judging the reverence for
the Queen is at least as great as in Eng
land, her opinion when known 20 foreign
courts weighing at least as heavily as it
does with her own Ministers. This is due,
say several of our contemporaries, to the
IN lntermarriages which have made her Ma
lesty the common ancestress in so many
courts, IN every court, indeed, not strictly
catholic, and no doubt the strange posi-
ton OF the Queen in that respect is one
reason for the special honor in which she

one. Relatives can hate one another very
hard. and the Queen is as greatly respected
in Washington or New York as in Berlin
or ST. Petersburg.
Her Majesty is great because her reign
has been great-great in its enterprises,
great in its successes, grest, above all, in
that compatibility which, owing mainly
TO the character of the sovereign, 1t has
shown topbe possible between q more than
republican freedom and monarchial in
stitutions. The British empire is the
world to show thata state can enlarge its
borders without living under tyranny and
without universal military service.

Jilted by ramon, Men.

1t Is curious fact that there are several
women here who find source Of gratiica-

Tilted by famous men. A former sweet
heart of John c. Calhoun is an inmate of
Louise Home She has q ring that he
gave her. q lock of hair and other memen-

to tell the story of her love affair.
Another woman here was once engaged
to James Buchanan and might have been
mistress OF the White House had she been
so inclined. She does not advertise the
fact, however, but the story is related by
her friends to explain the reason why she
prefers to remain recluse rather than oc-
eupy the social position which her wealth

Modern Boat Building.

An exhibit at the Mechanics Fair that
is particularly worthy of special comment
by reason of the superiority of workman
ship is the display made in boat building
by George Kneass. The gasoline launch
on exhibition is indeed a masterpiece,
while the rowboats are models of perfec-
ton. Mr.. Kneass has been building boats
since 1876 and he has produced the finest
of all classes and sizes on our bay. His
office and works of the establishment is at
