THE GREAT ST. LOUIS FAIR.
Forty-second Annual Agricultural
Show At the Big Fair Grounds
Grand Array of Attractions.

st. Louis, Sept. 2o.TThe forty-seo-
ond annual show of the st. Louis
Fair association, which opens Octo-
Der 6 and continues till October IL.
gives promise of being more than usu-
ally attractive this year. The fair
proper will be more than ever a live
stock exhibition, the success of which
is assured by the liberal cash premi-
umns offered for competition by
breeders. The entire premium list
covers $4,000 in cash. Over four
fifths will be distributed among the
successful exhibitors of live stock in
the various classes, including the
poultry and pet stock division.
Under the old management the legit-
innate departments of the St. Louis
fair were allowed to degenerate, and
year by year the side show faker be-
came more and more in evidence,
making puerile efforts to duplicate
the great midway attractions of the
Chicago Worlds fair, with the re-
suit that thousands of patrons be-
came disguised. Nothing of the sort
will be attempted this year, the faker
being relegated to the free street fairs
and so-called carnivals. This does not
mean that there will be an entire lack
of features designed to attract, in
struct and amuse the young folks.
There will be Prof. w. E. Wood
wards marvellous group of perform
ing seals, acknowledged to be the
most wonderful trained animals ever
seen in the country. Prof. John E.
Baldwin, known as the National Air
King, has also been engaged to give
daily exhibitions from the ampithea-
ter, ascending a mile into the clouds,
where he gives a startling artillery
battle, by means of exploding dyna'
mite bombs, meanwhile performing
a thrilling trapeze act among the
clouds, ending with a daring para
chute leap. Other novelties, includ-
ing a miniature railway, aerial ira
peze acts, etc, will also be among the
amusement features, and a splendid
military band will give daily concerts
in the amphitheater.
The horse show will be one of the
great attractions of the fair. The
Fair association is giving away $4,-
600 in cash premiums for heavy and
light harness horses. The classes for
tandems, uniforms, four-in-hands and
other heavy harness events will at
tract the finest turnouts ever seen in
a St. Louis show ring. Running races
will be in progress all week on the
big mile track. The Fair grounds
boasts of the finest mile course, grand
stand and club house of any race
track in America. The most promi-
nent stables in training on the west
ern circuit will have the pick of their
performers ready to take part in
these races. Several important stakes
are to be decided fair week.

THE STRATTON MILLIONS.
A Probability that the VIII of the
Dead Man VIII he Allowed to
Stand as He Made 1t.

Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. o.
Nothing could be ascertained Sunday
relative to the probability OF posi-
bility of a contest between heirs over
the Stratton will which gives $10,-
600, 900 or more for a home for the
sick. 1t is understood from a close
friend of Mr.. Stratton that the son,
|. II. Stratton, declared some time be-
fore his fathers death that if the will
did not give him a specified sum he
would contest it, and that the sum
left him is much less than the sum
he named. He has not announced any
intention of contrasting, however, nor
has he authorized the statement that
he is likely to.

HENDERsoN,s ACTION FINAL.
WIN Not Accept n denomination But VII
Serve Out His Present Term
as Speaker.


Chicago, Sept. 22.-David B. Hen
derson, speaker of the national house
of representatives. passed through
Chicago Sunday on his way to Allan
tic City, where he will join Mrs. Hem
derson. Before leaving for the east,
Speaker Henderson reiterated his de-
cision TO retire from the COMPRESSION
al race in Iowa, denied any intention
of "abdicating" his present position
until his term. of office shall have ex-
pired, and declared himself in perfect
accord with the tariff views of Pres
ident Roosevelt, as e~nunciated in his
Cincinnati speech.
II have spent 20 years of my life
fighting for protection for American
Industries and American labor, and l
shall not DE a party to any juggling
at this late day." the speaker said.
president Rooseyelt's tariff views
set forth in his Cincinnati speech
coincide with my own. There is no
difference in our belief. His speech
a a strong one, and it has my
hearty Endorsement"
"Then the differences are confined
to your own state?" was asked.
"Yes, largely. Let the new lights
shine"
The speaker smiled broadly as he
used the phrase.
SIS there any chance of your friends
prevailing on you to reconsider your
a%ction?"
absolutely none. l can not see
my way clear to crafty their wishes.
1t grieves me to remain firm with
them, but it is a matter of principle.
The pressure brought to bear on me
has been strong. Senator Allison and
a host of my old friends came to the
station this morning to make a final
assault on me. l had to say NO"
Evil you resign from congress and
give up the speakership before the
end of your term?"
II shall not" was the prompt re-
ply. "My declination of a renomina-
ton is one thing and a resignation
from congress is another thing. I
shall serve out my term in congress,
and ! shall continue to fill the Office
of speaker. l have had no other in
tention."
The suggestion was advanced that
ideas" and policies" in Henderson's
home state might change after a brief
period.
"Let the new light shine" again
came the answer.
When told that Secretary Shaw and
Congressman Babcock was under
stood to be awaiting his arrival at
Chicago, with a view of adding their
efforts to those already made to in
duce him to recede from his position,
Mr.. Henderson's reply was:
II am on my way to Atlantic City,
and shall arrive there Monday night"
When it was suggested that certain
leaders had intimated that he was
not loyal to his party by resigning, a
shade of regret passed over the speak
er's face, but he quickly said:
1.-The retirement of one man or ten
men from an office can not affect the
future of the party. When one steps
aside another takes his place, and the
work goes on"

WOMAN INTERPRETER
First in the Country Appears
in the Rezzo-Phillips
Arson Trial.

A woman interpreter in the Court Of
General Sessions was the novelty of the
third day of the trial of Francesca Rizzo
and Phillipo Pallano on a charge of ar
son.
Mrs. Mary Guerrero, a New York wonl-
an, of Scilian birth, has the honor of be-
ing the first of her sex to officiate as off,
cial interpreter in the County Criminal
Court, and she surprised both Court and
counse, by the thoroughly at home
manner in which sne entered on the d Il
ties of her novel position, and told in Inc
English tongue the stories repeated TO her
BY her fellow countrymen, who were on
trial on the serious charge of burning
their barber shop at Second and Grand
streets, Hoboken, on November II last,
for the purpose of obtaining 81 100 insur-
anee.
1t was after ex-Judge Thomas F. Moo
nan had concluded his opening of the
case for the defence yesterday afternoon
that it was found that the services of an
other interpreter would be necessary. An
toni Gentle. the official interpreter of the.
Italian language, could not understand
the dialect of the defendants, who a-e
Sicilians. He recommended Mrs. Guerrero,
and she was sent for Whether the lady
will be permanently added to the al
ready large list of court interpreters was
not made known.
The defendants counsel in his opening
said that he would prove that mis- clients
had left their place of business fos New
York about three o'clock in the afternoon
of the fire, and did not return until eight
o'clock that evening. The alarm Of fire
was rung at 6:2S. He said he would also
prove that the stock and fixtures of the
barber shop were worth more than they
were insured for, and therefore, the de-
PENDANTS could not gain anything
through their destruction.
The case may reach the jury tonight or
tomorrow morning.
