In this department the adiudicators
of competitive exhibits had a difficult
task to make awards within the pre-
scribed regulations. There were some
complaints, of course. but nearly all of
these were due to the fact that exhib-
itors had made wrong entries. For in
stance a stand cover was entered as a
lunch cloth. crochet work was listed
by the exhibitor as point lace, crochet
lace as pillow lace. and so on The
judges decided on the best in each class
exhibited, and if any exhibitor made
the wrong classification it is no ones
fault but her own. A careful perusaI of
the premium lists. which have been in
circulation for months would have
guarded against the errors from which
the grievances arose. sa

COLBORN WANTED TO QUIT
TILT BETWEEN DIRECTOR GEN
ERAL AND SECRETARY.
Salt Palace Without a Manager For
a Short Time, But Judge Colborn
Was Induced to Reconsider.

Director General Colborn and Secre-
tary Lou Johnson had a little disagree
r-ant yesterday afternoon as to who
was running the Salt Palace. The di-
rector general insisted that he bore his
title in fact as we'll as in name, and
that what he said went. Secretary
johnson couldn't see ii that way and
said so. This aroused Judge Colborn's
ire. and he said that he was through
with the duties of his office, and that
he would have no more to do with the
Salt Palace.
The directors had instructed Johnson
to perform certain duties connected
with the routine business of the secre-
taryship.' The secretary went about
the affair as instructed. He did not
consult the director general regarding
the matter, nor did he even inform him
of the action of the directors. Judge
Colborn heard of it through other par
ties, and then the trouble began.
I'D like to know who is director gem
eral of this palace" said the judge, as
he hurried off to find Secretary John
son and to ask his opinion about 1t.
The secretary said that he had done
as he was instructed.
"But who instructed your asked the
director general.
THE directors instructed me-" re-
piled Johnson.
'But what have they got to do about
it? Why didn't you come to me for in
structions? l want it understood that
while I am director general of this pal
ace, 1 am running things. Under
stand?'
johnson made a reply which angered
the judge, and matters reached a eli
max.

eralship, the Salt Palace, and every
thing else connected with it, eX-
claimed the judge. Il resign my posi-
ton
For an hour or two the Salt Palace
was without a director general. Then
some of the directors came around and
patched things up. Judge Colborn re-
considered his verbal resignation and
again took up the responsibilities and
duties of his position. And peace HOY

RAILWAY BUILDING.
In Nine Months 2,7oo Miles of Road
Was Built.

Chicago, Oct Elm the nine months
ended Sept. 80 last, a round numbered
total of 200 miles of new railroad were
struction about 1,400 miles were built
in the months of July, August and
September, and there are strong rea-
sons TO believe that the building this
month will surpass that of any pre-
vious month of the year. H.
In an article dealing with the rail-
road construction in the first nine
months of 1899, the Railway Age says:
"a survey of the field shows that
work has progressed steadily since
July l.. but that not as much has been
accomplished in the way of completed
road as had been anticipated. This
does not indicate. that there has been
any perceptible abandonment of the
work undertaken during the fore part
of the year, but it means that the
prosperity of the country is so general
and that the demand for labor and
material is so great that the railway
builders have found it impossible TO Sc
cure sufficient men and supplies to
carry on the work with the speed de-
sired.
From many sections of the country
comes the almost continual cry of lack
of workmen. Many hundreds of miles
of road are under construction at the
present time which cannot be COM
pleted this year, owing, first to the
scarcity of labor, and second, to the
inability to secure rails and track sup-
plies. The demand for steel rails is so
great that mills are unable to fill orders
for early delivery, and it is likewise
practically impossible to secure relay
ing rails at any price. For these rea-
sons much work which had been
planned for completion this year will
have to be postponed until 1900 SO far
as putting down the rails is concerned,
although grading is being continued
with such forces as can be obtained,
1.-The 2,700 miles of track laid thus
far during 1899 exceed the total mile
age for any year since 1892 with the
exception of 1898, when 1850 miles were
completed. AS work is being pushed
rapidly in many sections of the coun-
try on both grading and track laying,
more miles of track will undoubtedly
be laid during the month of October
than in. any previous month of the
year. Unless severe weather sets in
unusually early there is every reason
to believe that enough mileage will be
added between now and Jan. l to make
the total for the year 1000 miles or

MORLEY Is FOR PEACE.
Throws the Blame Upon the War
Party and the War Press.


London. Oct. addressing a peace
meeting at Carneven this evening, John
Morley asked the country to realize
the predicament to which it had been
brought by unhappy diplomacy and the
bedlamite caunsels of the war press
and the war party.
IF" said Mr. Morley, president
Kruger had accepted the franchise
proposal of Sept. 8, with reliance upon
the convention of 1884, he would have
been planted behind diplomatic en-
trenchments, which, by fair and rea-
sonaible means, could not have been
forced. Even after that refusal there
was still room for a friendly solution,
but just as the Transvaal made a mis-
take, our government capped 1t by
Withdrawing the franchise proposals"
Mr. Morley dwelt upon the modera-
ton and reasonableness of the recent
speech of the Duke of Devonshire,
which proved that Great Britain did
not desire to interfere with the Trans
walls independence. The speaker SAID
he had always pressed the urgency OF
the Transvaal meeting Great Britain
half way. He regretted the withdrawal
of the five years franchise, but con-
demned Great Britain for now aban-
ioning the franchise, which had hith-
erto been the foundation of the govern
nant policy. He dilated upon the even
taal danger of having at the back OF
a strategic post like the Cape a dlsaf-
fected population held down by force
Of arms. and said he failed to see Why
The TransVaal and Great Britain were
unable TO come to terms. Mr.. Morley

PIERCED BY A HATPIN.
Shocking Attempt of a Washington
,. Woman to Commit Suicide.

Shocking Attempt of Washington
Woman to Commit Suicide.
Seattle. Wash, Oct. GA special to
the Post-Intelligencer from Olympia
says: A most deliberate and barbar-
Gus attempt at suicide occurred at Bu-
coda yesterday Mrs. Leo PrabuskL a
Polish woman, became angered at some
little domestic occurrence, and deter
mined to do away with her life. She
procured an ordinary hat pin six inches
long and drove the pin into her Jstom-
ach through the navel.
Pressing hard against the pin, she
drove it until it could go no further, as
it had lodged in the spine. Then, with
the intention of forcing the pin out at
the back. she procured a rusty darn
ing needle and drove this into what
she thought was the hole made by the
hat pin. Not until Y O'Clock last night
did she tell anyone what she had done.
Today Mrs. Prabuski repented of her
act and accompanied the Bucoda ply
sician to this city, when DR.. Redpath
removed the pin and needle. DR.. Red
path thinks she viii live. She is As
years old. and has had nineteen chill
dren. five of whom are y ing.

Both gentlemen were accompanied by
their private secretaries. They were
met at the depot by E. l.. Lomax, gen

Kelly is here to attend the meeting of
the Union Pacific.
VIII Have Two Meetings.
When seen at the hotel after his ar
rival, Mr.. Pierce said:
There will be two meetings of the
stockholders of the Union Pacific. The
one to be held on Tuesday is simply
the usual annual meeting of the stock
holders for the purpose of electing the
fourteen directors and transacting such
other business as may legally come be-
fore the meeting. AT present | know
of nothing out of the ordinary that will
come up at the meeting, except such
routine business as is always considered
at the annual meetings. On Monday
there will be the special meeting that
has been advertised. At this meeting
we will consider the proposed amend
ment of the articles of association of
the company, as regards increasing the
preferred capital stock by $25, 100000
and the common capital stock by ST.
rs, 800 The issue and the use of this
stock will be authorized and such action
as is necessary will be taken in that
regard. There is no doubt but that the
stock will be issued. This is all of i'm
portance that will be done, and there
is nothing more that L have to say
about it,
The meeting of the stockholders of
the Oregon Short Line will be held on
Wednesday.
