At THE CHARITY FAIR.
Many Compliments Given the
Orchestra.
UNUSUALLY HEAVY MAIL
Added Features OF Entertainment Which
Pleased a Large Crowd-It VIII
Undoubtedly Prove a
Great Success.

There were added features at the
charity fair last night. There was also
another large crowd in the early even
ing. Towards midnight. however, the
crowd was not so large. One of the
features was Bergstrom's enlarged or
chestra. The music was much enjoyed
n high compliments were bestowed
upon the members of the orchestra.
who. with the true spirit of charity
inherent in musicians, donated their
valuable services to the cause, just as
the Boston q Montana band did the
night before.
There was an unusually heavy mail
to handle in the postoffice and the post
mistress found IL necessary to placard
the exterior of the office with notices
urging the people to take their mail
away. Mrs. Largely entered the room
carrying the prettiest and largest doll
ever seen off a Christmas tree. Its
dress was the acme of perfection and
bore the stamp of the latest fashion.
That was added to the collection in
the BOOTH, where IL outshone all the
other sweet little dolls and dollies. Ad-
ditions were also made to the corps of
assistants in the several booths. The
refreshment tables were p~atronized lib
orally. as were the cigar and lemonade
booths.
A large humble of chances on many
pretty and valuable articles was dis
posed of by the tidy young raids who
carry the books and pencils. The men
visitors have their fortunes told two or
three times an evening. Then they take
a glass of lemonade, go to the postofice
after their mail. play the races, eat
candy, buy a toy or two, gossip with
the ladies at the tea tables, go to the
races again, then buy a bouquet of
flowers, have their fortunes told again,
then buy a chance, look pleased and
step into the dining room while others
go through the routine they ave just
concluded, and so ii went until nearly
midnight.
The fair will continue all week and
Ii now looks as If ii could result in no
other way but successful.

NO MORE MUSTERED OUT.
The Situation Does Not Admit of Further
Reduction of the Army.

Washington. Sept. 13.-Tremendous
pressure is still being brought to bear
on the war department to have more
troops mustered out of service. Efforts
in this direction, however. are of no
avail. It is announced to-day with
much emphasis that there will be no
more troops mustered out. The situa-
ton does not admit of any further re-
duction i'm the army and efforts are be-
ing made to nut those volunteers who
are retained in the service as near as
possible to the footing of the regulars
in the matter of drill and discipline. An
effort is being made to eradicate the
amateurish idea of independence among
the troops and to bring them down to
the strictest discipline. he purpose at
the outset when the muster out began
was to muster out 100. 900 volunteers. A
little over sc. 900 have already been mus
tered out and il is announced positively
that there will be no more mustered
out, no matter what influence is
brought to bear. The retention of the
volunteers now I'm the service and the
efforts to improve the morale of the
army has In view the Philippine situa-
ton more than that of Cuba or Porto
Rico, though there is a great deal of
as to the danger appre-
hended there.

SONS OF VETERANS.
A Slate which Arrays the East Against
the West.

'"s We
Omaha, Sept. 13.-Politics of the order
seems to be engrossing the attention
of the delegates of the encampment of
the Sons Of Veterans. Last night a
number Of caucuses were held, which
did not adjourn until early his morn
ing. The result is the formation of a
slate which practically arrays the East
against the West. The West received
the office of commander-in-chief. Lieu
tenant Governor Jones of Ohio, seeing
that he would run a chance of defeat,
tied up with Col. Frank Shepard of IL
linofs. The latter will probably be
elected, although Oberdorff of New
York has not yet retired from the race.
In return for this, the West is expected
to allow Cincinnati to be selected for
the next encampment and to counte-
nance the election of Adjutant General
Bolton as quartermaster general. Both
propositions Will be holly contested, for
Denver is after the location and Kan
sas has a strong candidate for the quar-
termaster general in the person of c.
BORN Of Oberlin.
George f.. o of Cincinnati will
probably be elected senior vice COM
mander-in-chief and Frank j. Coates of
Nebraska Junior vice commander. The
East also wants the quartermaster's de-
partment transferred from Chicago to
Boston, and this will result in a fight.

PORTER IS AFTER 1T.
His Rivals Say He Has No Chance for the
Nomination.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. l3-The re-
publican state convention will meet to-
morrow. Many delegates are here to-
night and the rival candidates for gov
ernor have opened headquarters. The
convention promises to be one Of the
most interesting Of recent years. chiefly
on account of the strong effort made by
John Addison Porter. secretary To Pres
ident Mckinley, 10 secure the nomina-
ton for governor. This is the third
time that Mr.. Porter has been a candi-
date for the place.
According to the statements Of the
Of his rivals in the campaign,
he viii not be in the running. and
George Lo~unsbury. the old candidate.
will be nominated on the first ballot by
an overwhelming majority. The Porter
men pooh pooh these statements and
confidently state hat when the ballots
are ounted there will be some sur
prises.
The picturesque feature Of the cam
paign is the Vigor with which Mr.. Por-
ter has attacked the men who manage
the affairs of the party. alleging boss
ism, ring rule and lobby control. and
he promises % do away with these ele-
ments should he become governor.
