night, therefore, of Dec 81, 1900, is
when the twentieth century bgins. In
other words, it begins with the first
second of the first hour of the first day
of January, 1901
The twentieth century will open on a
Tuesday and close on a Sunday. 1t
will have the greatest number of leap
years possible for a century-twenty-
four. The year 1904 will be the first one,
then every fourth year after that to
and including the year 1000. February
will three times have five Sundays: in
1920, 1913 and 1876
The twentieth century will contain
36,525 days, which lacks but one day of
being exactly 5,218 weeks. The middle
day Of the century will be Jan. 1. 1851
Several announcemei IS are made of
changes to be inaugurated with the
opening of the new century. The first
of Importance is that Russia will adopt
the Gregorian calendar. This will be
done by emitting thirteen days, the
amount of error that will have accumu-
lated after the close of February, 1900.
The Russians will then write jan. |,
1901, instead of Dec. 10, 1900, or rather,
instead of both, according to the dual
system now in vogue in that country
and in Greece. The other important
announcement is that it is not at all
unlikely that the astronomical day,
which now begins at noon of the civil
day, will begin with the civil day, at
midnight. The present method Of hav-
ing the astronomical day to begin
twelve hours after the beginning of the
other hand, to have the former begin
at midnight, just when astronomers
are often busiest, will be to them some

he had been dealt with unfairly de-
clared that he would never again dis
play any of his stock or products af-
ter getting taste of how the directors
rigidiy apply the rules; simply, as he
said, that the money offered in premi-
ums might be saved to help promote
next years fair.
A meeting of the directors was held
yesterday afternoon to adjust several
disputed points in the matter of
awards which had been reported for
notice by 3ggrieved exhibitors or
awarding committees.
Replying to the allegations of unfair
dealing, Secretary Sears said after the
meeting that no exhibitor justly en-
titled to a premium under the rules of
entry and competition and according to
standards of excellence. had been de
MED premium. He felt sure that any
aggrieved exhibitor would Withdraw
his complaint and compete again next
time, after acquainting himself with
all the facts connected with the fairs
management. The secretary added that
rigid economy was practiced by the di-
rectors,l and no cash premiums were to
be awarded where a reasonable doubt
existed as to the right of honor to be
bestowed. In all proper cases, how
ever, diplomas viii be awarded to ar
ticles of merit exhibited that are not
entitled to premiums because of slight
deficiencies.

| Quadras, a prominent physician, who
was educated in the United States to-
gether with a few other young men are
sentenced to Punishment from Nicara-
qua for fourteen years
To the general surprise of the public,
President zelaya has, within a day or
two, arrested several prominent citi-
zens OF Leon, Nicaragua and trans
ferred them TO the Managua peniten-
tiary. No public accusation was made
in these cases, nor is any reason of
fered for the arrests. The sensation
is all the greater because there have
been no indications of an uprising
against President Zelaya since last
February. AS a matter of fact the ma
uves have been busy on their farms
endeavoring to make a living for them
selves and their families and to recover
from the evils of scores of revolutions,
forced loans and heavy fines.

Such lawless acts as the government
IS committing in this regard. acts usu-
ally at the expense of members of the
party not in power tends to check the
reVlNlng activity and again to impair
credit. Except for such arrests, how
ever, and the impressment into her
army, matters are fairly quiet.
President zelaya is giving a truly
hallonal reception to General Z. Alex
ander of South Carolina, in the latter's
capacity of arbitrator of the boundary
between Nicaragua and Costa RIGA.
The various issues involved have been
settled and the boundary has been dis
tinctly marked. General Alexander has
been for nearly three years at San Juan
Del Norte engaged in this work at a.
reported salary of $1,000 gold and his
expenses per month paid, it is said. by
the governments of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica. All his decisions seem to
have been just and in full accord with
the facts and his course here has been
nlghly eredltable to himself and to the
United States government. IT is ouite
probable that Costa Rica will extend
to him. national hospitality and cour-
tesies.

the east. 1t will follow the regular
train until it catches it, and the spe-
cial car then will be attached to the
regular train.
But if Mr.. Vanderbilt wishes to con-
tinue on the special it will come east.
A representative of the Vanderbilt in
terests will ascertain his wishes when
he reaches San Francisco. If he de-
cides on a special train. one of the
greatest runs in the history of the
country will be made. In any event it
is thought a special will be used from
Chicago to New York The distance
now is covered in twenty-four hours,
but special can cut off four hours of
this time.
The arrival of Mr.. Vanderbilt will be
awaited with a great amount Of inter
est, because soon after his arrival all
guess work as to the contents of his
fathers will will be ended. 1t may be
that he will be met in San Francisco
by some of the lawyers of the family
with a copy of the Will. and that before
his arrival in this city it will be filed
for probate.

Every effort is being made by the
members of the state board of hortf-
culture to impress upon visitors to the
fair the good results which will accrue
from a close study of the exhibit per-
tanning to fruit tree destroying in
sects which the board has in the main
building. In addition to Secretary
Wright, of the state board, G. A. Hick-
enlooper, fruit inspector of Weber
county, and J. P. Sorenson. fruit in
spector of Salt Lake county, have
joined in the work of instrueting visit
ing fruit growers how to successfully
fight the tree pests. Inspector Soren-
son is making a speciality of giving in
struction how to overcome the San
Jose scale.
A most unique exhibit from point of
design is one at the booth of the
Scott-Strevell Hardware company. 1t
consists OF an imitation pipe organ or
small scale. Gutter pipes are used
for reeds, doorknobs for stops. silver
knives for keys, and muffin pans for
the foot-treadles, and The effect pro-
dueed is wonderfully clever one.

department there are two which are
