In Machinery Hall the most notable
exhibits are those of the Hazelwood
Creamery, Wyman & Fraser and Coffin
Bros.
The poultry department is hardly up
to the usual standard, but exhibits vet
to arrive will greatly improve it.
Chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons and
guinea pigs are on exhibition in infinite
breed and variety, and the classes rep
resented are the finest of their kind

Pulsifer Again in Yakima.

Sheriff Grant returned Sunday from
Boise, Idaho, having in charge c. 6.
Pulsifer, the theatrical man, wanted fol-
passing checks on Seattle banks il
which he had no funds and for leaving
his hotel bill unpaid. Pulsifer is in
jail, pending examination. He claims
that he and his Seattle partner, Mar
tin, are owners of vaudeville shows at
Whatcom and Seattle, and that he came
to North Yakima to extend their enter
prises and had made arrangements to
open up here. He went so far, he says,
as to lease suitable building and had
sent for his orchestra, when the church
people of North Yakima began to fight
the plans of the music hall managers
with so much vigor that Pulsifer de
cided to give up North Yakima and open
in Boise.
For the purpose of defraying the ex-
penses of the exchange he drew two
drafts for $25 each on n bank in Seattle
One of the drafts was cashed, but be-
fore the other reached the Seattle bank
Martin made a business deal requiring
several hundred dollars in cash, and
had drawn out the entire amount that
Pulsifer and Martin had in the bank.

woRK oF REPAIRING WALKS.
City Win Act Soon Good Job Done
 By R. K. Brown.

People who have entrance ways to stables and other property and have been ordered to repair them should look at that job R. K. Brown has just completed on East Main street, direct ly west of the Broadway hotel. It IS a splendid job and if others should follow suit travel would be greatly fa- cilftated in different parts of the town. Large numbers are complying with the order of the board of alder men to repair their sidewalks and if t9e good work is kept up it is not like ly that there will be many to turn over to the prosecuting attormey. In the opinion of some people the talk of taking definquents into court may be regarded as 0 bluff. but those who think so will find themselves in trou- ble later on if they put things to the test The situation is different this yeaT to what it ever has been in the past. If you don't repair your walk this year it is doubtful if you can be compelled to do it at aIl, so that BIS matter of fairness to everybody it may be found necessary to act some what arbitrarily with folks who wouldn't ask better sport than getting the laugh upon their nefghDors. The intention as to have all walks that need repairs attended to before the bad weather sets in. and if people think 1t wiu pay them to try conclu- sions with the city regarding tire cost, that will be their privilege. Most of the patching now, being done is all right, but once in a while one sees pieces that are ridiculous so much so thai 1t is no wonder people say they look like white patches on black trousers. But as the old saw says, any patch at all is better than a hole, and besides people should not be too particular about such things. After a few days dust and dirt will discolor the wfrfte spots and nobody will notice fhe difference.

OPPOSED TO APPROPRIATION.
Brooklyn People Not in Favor of h.
 creasad Taxation.

Brooklyn People Not in Favor of h.
 creased Taxation.
 From the present outlook the recon mendations of the board of public works asking the aldermen to make a special appropriation Of $18,O00 fer the street department. Id of the board of public safety asking for special ap- propriation of $6,500 for the police de partment, will meet with some opposi- ton in the aldermanic chamber. A Brooklyn alderman spoke as follows on the question to-day: Eff there is as much opposition to the proposed Spe- cial appropriation among the tax-pay- CTS in other sections of the city as there is among the taxpayers in this section; by far the large majTfty of the taxpayers do not favor it. be- 1ieve that eight out ofaevery ten per sons in Brooklyn are opposed to it. Last night a& number of taxpayers called upon me, asked smeesto oppose the special tax, and that I might as we'll leave Brooklyn if didn't. ad- mire the stand taken by Commissioner ScuI1y at the meeting Of the. board of public works the other night think that the work should be left over uBtil next year. As to the recommendation of the board of public safety, believe that the police department should be run with the present appropriation un- til the end of the year, when the uTl- expended balances from other sources may be sufficient to make upAfor the defcit in the appropriation for the po- lice department"
 Through there is much opposition to the proposed pay tax, there are many persons in favor of it. They believe that the work begun or proposed by the street department should be done and money appropriated for it. The spe- cial tax won't amount to much. A member of the board of public safety said today: '@The police department need this special appropriation. We have not asked for it to spend it on some proposed work. The money has already been expended. The appropri- atfon for the police department would have been sufficient except for the~tro4- ley strike. Extra police duty during the strike cost about $6,50O, hence the need of special appropriation. If the appropriation is not made then some of the regular patrelmen will have to suffer. Their hours of duty will be lessened and their pay conse- Quently' will be less"

No Russo-Japanese War.

YOKOHAMA, Aug 2o.-The Japa- nese government disclaims all the panic stories of war between Russia and Ja- pan. All fears of conflict are ground less. Both Russia and Japan are really trying to be conciiiatory. War would not be an advantage to either. So far 1t has beef1>a game of bluff. Japan has no war ships building in England and has not increased the strength of her army in view of possible events.

WORK
 OF WHITE CROOKS
SUSPECTED THAT "sclENTiFlC" BURGLARIEs WERE COMMITTED BY PERSONS WHO DRESS WELL AND STOP AT GOOD HOTELS.

The police are of the opinion that an organized gang of white crooks are az work in Birmingham, and that the Ihree robberies and burglaries committed Iues- day night were the work of smooth ar tists," and not criminals of the mghWay- men class.
 The color of only one of the crooks IS positively known. The man who roooed the Woodward saloon of $36T was Whlte man. No trace has been found or the thief, although the detectives are working on the case.
 It is believed that the gang operating is what is known in the under world as gentlemen crooks. They are thought to be some of the swell dressed variety returning from the Mardi Gras festivi- ties. It is suspected that they are living at good hotel, and passing off as trav- cling men, or men of large business The work of three of the cases points to white men, but the burglary of Drennen & Co., s store and several other crimes have the old ear-marks of the ordinary negro crook
 The three scientific" cases are the Woodward saloon robbery, the burglariz- ing of the residence of Jacob Abraham at 163O Third avenue, when the burglar en- tered the side window and stole about 5000 worth of jewelry while the family was at dinner, and the burglary Of Pete Goss' saloon.
 There were no new cases reported yes terday to the police.

RECORD OF COURTS.

The city of Birmingham has won the case of J. l.. Sandifer against the city. after it has been in the courts for nearly two years.
 A final decision was rendered by the Supreme court several weeks ago and the petition of the attorneys for the plaintiff for rehearing has been denied. The suit in question was an interesting one. J. L. Sandifer sought to enjoin the city from emptying refuse matter near his property at Valley creek, several miles from Bir- mingham. This was about eighteen months ago. The injunction was granted In the Chancery court Upon an appeal by the city to the Supreme court 1t was affirmed
 City Attorney Smith then made an ap- pllcaton for rehearing. It was granted and this time a decision was made re- versing the former decision and that of the Chancery court in granting the in- junction. The reversing of it's former de- cislon gave Birmingham the case.
 The petition of the plaintiffs attorneys for another rehearing was denied about two weeks ago, and this constituted a final settlement of the matter.
 Richard Thompson was convicted of grand larceny In the first division of the Criminal court yesterday. Howard King was found guilty on a charge of larceny from dwelling. He was charged with entering a house and stealing an over coat belonging to minister.
