THE WORLDS FAIR.
Meetings Held Of the Committees on Con'
cessions and Agriculture Waiting for
n Director General

st. Louis, July 20.-Yesterday's
progress in the worlds fair was
marked by meetings of the commit
tees on concessions and agriculture.
Developments of the two meetings
were that the appointment Of d.
rector general is becoming impera-
tive, though no official statement is
yet made Of the man for the posi-
ton. The advancement Of the work
is in a measure dependent upon the
naming Of a director general and
the report of the commission Of archi-
tects, members OF which will arrive
in the city to-day to prepare for their
meeting next Wednesday.
The work in the department OF
agriculture is rapidly increasing,
Questions of space required and the
position Of the agricultural building
relative to other department build
ings were discussed at length. Nc
appointments were considered, nor
the further organization of either Of
the departments mentioned, the opin.
ion prevailing that chiefs or heads
OF departments should not be APP
pointed without the approval Of the
director general.
After the meeting Of the commit
tee on concessions II was reported
that that body was in receipt Of {
large number Of applications fol-
concessions, with which nothing car
now be done beyond classification.

a bottle of beer and she asked for
bottle. The bartender handed her a
bottle and she offered him pay for it,
saying: 81 do not want it for moth
ing" The bartender said: 1--WE do
not sell it.
The word soon spread around the
streets that raid was being made
and in n few minutes 500 men, women
and children had assembled. Mrs.
Grover and some Others, taking the
beer with them. went to the city at
torney to make complaint and he
sent them to the sheriff, saying that
official had the power to seize the
stock. They could not find the sher-
| if and returned to the joint, where
they had left the other women on
guard. In the tent was tub filled
with bottles of beer, ice and water
Empty eases were all around and the
ground was Uttered with beer corks
Two men started to carry the tub OF
