EXPOSITION AT THE

For some reason or other, these pow
erful establishments, having the game
in their own hands, nevertheless never
attempted to maintain their price at
the par of twenty cents each. The
Curbstone Exchange, called the Pieds
Humides (the Wet-Feet Bourse}, is a
daily pandemonium of bowling, I'M
washed Ticket hawkers, the INSTRUCTORS
of the streets and the disgrace of the
exhibition.
Supplied each morning with the day S
provision of tickets, they hasten to the
Paris sidewalks, there to give them

Walk down three blocks of the Rue
Royale and you. will be attacked by
twenty of them-men, women, children.
They touch your clothes. They take
you by the arm. They jeer at strang-
ers. Protected by a common under
standing and their numbers, they make
concerted attacks on foreigners who
foofishly show temper. Some days the
tickets are cents, some days cents,
some days as high as IL cents, some
days-as low as cents. The hawking

The tolerance of this immense army

that make the visitors life a burden
are something altogether out of the Or
binary. Like the ticket sellers, they
have confidence in their numbers. The
police cannot handle them. So they,
too, have adopted a humorous prac-

temper is likely to be revenged by pro-

Special Correspondence of the Register.
PARIS, September 12.-Mendicity Is
rampant at the Exhibition. The at
mosphere is charged with magnetic
gloom. the emanation Of hard-up multi
tudes. The Parisians are profoundly
! disappointed with the cheap tourist
character of the mass of visitors, the
visitors resent the lack of hurrah
spirit they expected to find ready-made
upon the spot, public opinion seems to
have relaxed to state OF nerveless in
difference, and the bas peuple of this
once gay capital is turning itself loose
| by beggary and solicitation, to rescue
actual pennies from the wreck of
! dreamed-of dollars. The worthiest and
richest international exposition the
world has ever had offered to 1t is fioun-
dering in veritable slough of despair.
The moment is unfavorable because of
! the three wars; another explanation is
that half of France is hostile to the fair
ton looms up in the gloom of Paris-a-
la-manque The world is tired Of ex-
positions. Certainly the Parisians are
disguised. And, just as certainly the
| visitors are none the less, as they wade
through the flood of mendicity that
marks the failure of the greatest exhi-
bition of them all. 1t is a beggars'
fair. a.
The beggary begins before the visitor
has entered. On the Paris street, out
side the grounds. the ticket hawkers
disgust one beforehand with their i'm
portunities.
1t may have been good financing
and it certainly showed great patriot
ism on the part of the great financial
houses-to unload on these latter, at
par, all the admissions of the show, a
year before the opening day. 1t gave
the exhibition cash to build itself and,
city, guaranteed it against loss. The
lottery attachment induced the general
public to take up a good block of the
bons-as the sheets of twenty tickets
each are called-so that most Paris
families had their admissions in adj
vance. The great mass of bons, paid
for at par, remained in the vaults of
the Credit Lyonnais, the Credit Fon-
cier, the Bank of France, the Compton
National, the Credit Industriel and the
Societe Generate. As they are needed
they are sold to the public, passing
through many intermediate hands.

Their immense success was the sig

of post card pornography of the most
daring kind. the worst that has ever
been exposed publicly in this porno-
graphic city. Some are so bad that the

form the stock in trade of an evil-faced

BISHOPS HOUSE.
Columbus, o.. September 10, 1900.
Rev. Dear Father:
You have heard of the catastrophe
which recently visited the city of Gal
weston. The distress caused in conse-
quence is appalling, and should not
cnly awaken our sympathy for the suf-
ferers, but induce us TO afford them
some substantial aid. The q. Rev. n.
Gallagher, Bishop Of Galveston, has in
formed us that 10000 people are home
less, LOCO dead, that churches, schools,
hospitals and orphan asylums were de-
stroyed by the cyclone. and he asks for
immediate help. The Bishop, having
been q priest OF this diocese, in which
he labore0 as pastor and administra-
tor, feels confident that the Diocese of
Columbus will generously assist aim.
We are sure that ne will not be disap-
pointed in his hope.
We desire that a collection for the
Galveston sufferers be taken I'D our
diocese on Sunday, September 23rd. In
case that it cannot be made on that
day, then let it be taken UP as soon
thereafter as practicable. Announce
the collection Sunday, September 10th.
The collection should be forwarded
to US, ana we viii transmit them to the
bishop, with list giving the name
OF parish and amount contributed by
each May God Eiess you and your

HEIRSHIP
To an Estate Of Millions
Logan County Man Goes
TO Investigate.

W, S. Silvers, of Bismark township,
is in the city today. Mr.. Silvers has
lived on claim in this country since
1898, but recently he has disposed of
ali his oklahoma interests and made
preparations to establish his heirship
to an estate valued at S14O, 900, 900.
Silvers came to Oklahoma from Mar
ion, Indiana, He will go to Missouri
this week and from there to Hamilton,
Ohio, where his father lives. His IA
ther is 76 years of age and is too old
to go into the case and has requested
his son to do the work. His father, j
II. Silvers. has made two trips to Ger
many in the interest Of the case and
has secured enough evidence TO jnsti-
fly the heirs in going ahead with it.
The estate comes down from veal
thy German named Aaron Silvers who
acquired property in Germany and
then invested part of his wealth in
the United States. The estate con-
sists of real estate in Germany, New
York and Boston. There are seventy
FIVE heirs to the estate. Mr.. Silvers
will visit San Bernardino, California,
where he will meet Fred T. Ferris,
chief engineer of the Santa Fe rail-
road, who is an heir. He will also 60
to Hagarstown, Ind, to see an auut
who has in her possession documents
of great value in establishing the heir
ship. Mr.. Silvers has a half brother,
two sisters and brother in Adams
county, Indiana. A Mr.. Card, who
was warden of the northern penlten-
tisry and lives at Michigan City, Ind.
is in poss ession of fund of informa-
ton that has been instrumental in as
sisting the heirs in proving their
claim. Silvers will also visit Liberty
Center, Ohio, where some Of the heirs
live.
John H. Silvers, of Hamilton, Ohio,
who has made two trips to Germany
in the interest OF the heirs, says the
acquisition of the property will Tot
involve the heirs in suit in court. All
that now remains is for them TO prove
their heirship. John Il. Silvers, who
has been working on the case for
years, has collected documents and
family history establishing the heir
ship of the family 400 years back.

VIVID
Memories in the Famous Jester
Murder Case at New
London, Mo.

Mr.. John K. Stinton, representing
the Standard Manufacturing Company
of st. Louis is in the city today. Mr..
Stinton was in New London, Mo, Sun
day, and naturally he has considerable
to say concerning the famous jester
case. Said he:
"One of the most peculiar features
of the complicated and sensational
trial of Jester was brought out in the
testimony, and is claimed not to have
parallel in criminal history. Hulen
lane, where the murder was supposed
to have been committed, is but two
miles long. Two roads connect with
it at the east end, one at the west and
one road comes down to it from the
north. About the hour of the tragedy,
perhaps jus, after the boy was killed
there were at Least nine persons going
toward the spot from all directions
The hand of fate seemed to manifest
itself at that momentous hour for by
merest chance did these persons miss
seeing each other and pass by the
scene Of death without observation.
Another ve-y remarkable matter
which attracts attention, is the recall
ing of all the numerous facts and de
tails so wildly aft a lapse of thirty
years. This clearness of memory il
readily understood, for the case has fol
thirty years been constantly discussed
in the town and the details have beer
kept alive. Witnesses from Kansas
and other states do not SO. readily re
call the various events.
"Jester spent very quiet Sunday.
continued Mr.. St,nson. "Close to tn,
Jail is the Methodist church. During
the morning service he spent the en-
tire time sitting and standing by th'
window in his cell, listening to the
music and service. II will be remem
bered that Jester was formerly en-
gagged in ministerial work in Okla
! homa."
