Buffalo in Holiday Attire in
Honor of the Coming G. A.
r. Encampment.
First of the Visitors Already on
Hand and Thousands More
on the Way.
Estimated All Records Will Be
Broken in the Matter of
Attendance.

BUFFALO, Aug. 23.-Buffalo is all
ready for the army of veterans who are
on their way to attend the 31st annual
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. During the night hundreds
of veterans and their friends arrived,
and all day they have been coming in
by thousands. The various railroads
entering Buffalo report that in addition
to the hundreds of regular trains, sched-
ules have been prepared for the arrival
of 245 specials during the next AZ hours.
Camp Jewett, as the "City of Tents is
known, is all ready for its inhabitants,
and was formally opened at A o'clock
this afternoon.
Ample arrangements have been made
at the camp and elsewhere for the care
of the sick. Three hospital tents have
been erected at Camp Jewett, each in
charge of a competent staff of physi-
clans.
Largest Encampment Ever Held.
Colonel Winans of Commander.in-
Chief Clarkson's staff estimates the
number of visitors to Buffalo during the
week at 200, 900, making the largest en-
campment ever held. In speaking of
encampment Colonel Winans said that
80 far as his information went there
was but one choice among the delegates
and that was Cincinnati. With regard
to the encampment being held in Rich
mond, Va, he asserted there rs nothing
in it. The people down there do not
want it and the veterans do not
care to go there.
Colonel Winans says Pennsylvania
will send the most people to the en-
campment with New York second and
Ohio third in attendance.
Among the later announcements of
candidates to succeed Commander-in-
Chief Clarkson are the names of John
Q. Linehan of New Hampshire, George
II. Innis of Massachusetts,, James A..
Sexton of Chicago and Joseph S. Goblin
of Pennsylvania.
The decoration of the city with bunt-
ing and electric lights is elaborate.
Some Encampment Features.
Camp Jewett, named in honor of the
mayor of Buffalo, city of $500 tents
provided for the accommodation of the
visiting G. A. R. men, is situated on
broad plaza of the city park system, adj
joining Fort Porter and overlooking
Lake Erie, the mouth of the Niagara
river and the Canadian shore. The
tents in Camp Jewett are mostly of the
Indian tepee pattern.
One of the most brilliant features Of
the encampment will be the living
shield, which will be produced on
Wednesday, the day of the parade.
Four thousand children from the
schools, who have been under rehearsal
for weeks, will form the shield. The
platform upon which the children will
sit will be built squarely across Chip
pewa street, cutting off all traffic. 1t is
to resemble large grandstand the
seats grading upward as the elevation
increases.

BOSTON, Aug. Backward Parker
Deacon has been committed to the Nc
Lean hospital at Waverly for the in
sane. He belongs to an old and distin-
guished family of this city. On Feb.
II, 1892, he killed Emile Abeille in Mrs.
Deacon's apartments at Cannes, France.
His halucinations are that enemies
seek to do him harm, and the hospital
influence seems to relieve his mind on
this point. A consultation of physicians
has been called, but the seriousness of
the case has not been determined.

The Conference Will Be Useless.
This. in brief, is the situation, and it
is apparent that both sides are making
preparations for movements that will
be to their benefit. From a reliable
source it was learned that if the oper-
ators start mines on the lines laid down
other mines will also be started by the
miners. 1t is proposed to select oper-
ators who are not represented at the
conference and who are friendly to the
miners. They will be given permission
to mine coal at the rate demanded and
the coal stored. By this means it is ex-
pected to get fund from the union
miners that happen to be working, and
with this fund pay the expenses of a
fight against imported labor. The min
ers' officials are also making arrange
ments to have fund on hand to send
foreign labor home just as fast as it ar
riVes.

PLAYERS SALARIES.
1t Is Said the Women Earn More Than

1t IL Said the Women Earn More Than
the Men.
A theatrical gossip, who has a statis-
teal bent, has gathered some interest
ing information about the salaries of
professional players in this country and
Europe. Thus he tells US that in Eng
land Julia Nelson receives 100 a
week and Ellen Terry 6 $50. The high
est priced stock company actress in
the world at present is Ada Rehan,
who, between salary and percentage OF
the receipts, earns about $500 week.
Oscar Hammerstein on one occasion Of
fered to engage Olga Nethersole for the
entire season at $1,000 a week, but the
matter fell through and the great os-
culator subsequently signed contract
with the Frohmans at $500 a week.
Georgia Cayvan received $3.50 week
for nine years, and before that $500
week The salary of Viola Allen is $3.50
and that of Elsie De Wolf is $:5. Eir-
ginia Harmed earned $100 a week, but
at present she need not bother about
the modesty of her salary, for the in
COlle Ol ueI He" uuSDlILo, II. IL. Do''i
ern, has averaged between $4,000 and
$4,000 for some years. The highest
priced actress ever employed by man
ager was Sarah Bernhardt, who re-
ceived S1,500 a week all the year round
from Henry E. Abbey. Eleanor Duse
plays invariably on percentage of the
receipts, pays for her own company,
scenery and costumes, and manages to
earn about s55,O00 year. Oddly
enough, good actresses are more plen-
tiful than good actors, yet they de-
mand, receive and in most cases merit
higher salaries than are paid their
brothers on the stage. Duse's income
is four times that of her. leading man,
Arnod; Bernhardts nearly ten times
that of her leading man, Darmont; Mel
ba and Calve each receive 81 500 night,
and Eames and Nordica earned al
most twice as much as Pol Plancon
and Edouard de Reszeke. In the Dam
rosch company Lilli Lehman's salary
was $1,000 night, while the most ex-
pensive tenor, Kraus, received only
$500. In comic opera Lillian Russell
has reached the high-water mark in
salary by receiving $1,5oO week from
Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau, Yvette Gull
bert earning $4,000 week, while Albert
Chevalier, who has an equal reputation
in vaudeville, received only S1,500 from
Charles Frohman. Loie Fuller earned
$5O,OOO in one winter, and Anna Held
carried home 100000 at the end Of last
season. In the lowest as well as in the
highest departments of the theater
women generally receive more money
than can be earned by men.-Detroit

The Last Loop Excursion

OF the season will be run by the Gulf
Road Sunday. Sept. 10th. The same
cheap rates as have been made for for
mer excursions of this character will pre-
vail and the train service will be con-
venient as usual. Those who have failed
to take this trip heretofore should not on
any account miss this last opportunity.
This is generally conceded to be the
grandest one day trip in the world, and
pictures or word descriptions fail utterly
to adequately give an idea of its grand
eur. The Gulf Road has issued beau
tiful book descriptive of this marvellous
road and splendidly illustrated. called
"a Day in the Canons," copy of which
may be had free upon application to any
agent OF the Gulf. If you have not seen
the bills announcing the rates and train
arrangements for this occasion, please
ask the nearest Gulf agent about it.

MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT.
The Democratic Government of Some
Cities of Europe.

Cities OF Europe.
Observers of modern municipal de-
velopment on both sides of the Atlantic
cannot but be struck with curious
anomaly. In some countries OF Eu-
rope, where the administration of city
affairs is controlled only to very lin
tied extent, or not at all, by the great
mass of the citizens, municipal govern
ments are conducted upon broader and
more popular lines than in the United
States, where universal suffrage pre-
walls In a certain sense, Berlin and
Paris are actually more democratic
than New York and Chicago. The peo-
pie of the former cities have, indeed,
nothing like the direct control over
their city government which those OF
the latter enjoy, in theory at least. But
if we form our judgment not by the
scope of the elective franchise, but by
that of services rendered, we shall have
to award the palm for variety and use
fulness of municipal activity, for bene-
fits conferred upon the masses of the
people, to the foreign cities. An in
edge than that derived from COM
parison of work done and results Sc
cured, would doubtless conclude that
the people ruled more fully in Paris
than in New York, I'M Berlin than in
Chicago. In a score of different direc-
tions the interests Of the average citi-
zen are better and more fully cared for,
his wants more fully met in the great
city of Europe than in that of Amer
lea. Municipal government in the old
world seems to be for the people, if not
by the people.
The question whether such public
services as lighting, by gas or cleo
tricity, and passenger transportation
in the streets should be intrusted to
corporations or performed directly by
the municipality is one which is giving
rise to a great deal of discussion in this
country and the sentiment in favor of
municipal ownership is unquestionably
growing. The fact that franchises and
locations in the streets have been so
universally given to private corpora
tions in our great cities and that an
enormous amount Of capital has been
invested in their securities makes any
attempt to inaugurate the European
practice of public ownership, with
operation either directly by the
city or under a lease from it, exceed
iHgly difficult. But aside from the
question of dealing fairly with vested
interests there seems to me to be no
reason why an American city should
not take up any service of this charac-
ter which may be recommended by
business and financial considerations.
There is no principle that stands in the
way, for instance, of the municipal
ownership and operation of an electric
light plant. It is purely commercial
question in each particular case. The
electric-lighting business in particular.
with the present improved dynamos
and engines, is one which a properly or
ganized city ought to be able to con-
duct for itself with some economy and
neutrality-suspicious..
