WAGE FARMERS AT THE FAIR

Prominent Men Planning to Help
Workers See the Great Exposition.
Wage earners of America are to see
the Worlds Fair by tens of thousands
under the auspices of the National Civ
ic Federation. A new bureau of the
Federation has just been established at
st. Louis upon the Worlds Fair
grounds. Back of the movement are
Grover Cleveland, David r. Francis
Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius n. Bliss
and others. Plans are making to have
a vast number of the wage earners Of
the United States see the Worlds Fair,
the most glorious spectacle of the age
and the most influential factor in the
education of the American citizen.
The bureau is in charge of Miss Ger
trude Beeks, secretary of the Fedora
tons welfare department, of which
Mr.. H. II. Vreeland, head of the street
railway system of New York city, is
chairman The bureau headquarters is
in the east end of the Palace of Trans
portation, on the ground floor. The EX-
position management is in hearty ac-
cord with this movement On the part
Of the Federation to induce the large
manufacturers and other employers of
labor to provide ways and means for
the wage earners of America to visit
the Exposition. President Francis is
displaying personal interest in the I'M
dertaking by affording the Federation
every facility for the contamination of
its efforts, and in this connection he
has directed Theodore Hardee, assist
ant to the secretary, to cooperate with
Miss Beeks and Ralph NJ. Easley,
chairman of the Federation's executive
iouncil, in every possible way.
The Exposition management has also
equipped this bureau with clerical as
sistance and a full supply of Worlds
Fair literature. The bureau will be
used as headquarters for all wage earn
ers coming to the Exposition under its
auspices. The aim of the Federation is
to make it feasible for the largest pos
sible proportion of wage earners to Wis
1t st. Louis and see the Worlds Fair.
1t will see that they are met at the de-
pot by responsible persons and con-
Quoted to suitable lodgings, where they
will be treated fairly.
There will also be furnished, free of
charge, appropriate itineraries indicat-
Ag the points of interest to be seen
yithin limit of one week, which is
about the average time each party will
spend here. 1t will also indicate the
objects of special interest to various
craftsmen in their particular lines, so
that they may devote as much time
as possible to the objects of peculiar
interest to them. These and many 9TH
er efforts will be made to help all wage
earners to enjoy the benefits Of this
great Exposition comfortably and at an
expense within their means.

Before Mr.. Bowser had got ready to

store with the mower. 1t was painted
red and green, and he was dragging it
along the sidewalk and making as
much noise as possible, and he was of
course followed by goat two dogs

This gallant band of Green Mountain
boys entered the fight numbering 159
soldiers and sixteen officers. over 100
of the soldiers fell, and thirteen of the
officers were killed or wounded.
The salvation of Sheridans army de-
pended upon the Sixth corps, which
General Wright brought up to inter
pose between the broken ranks of the
. Eighth and Nineteenth corps and their
vigorous pursuers. The leader of the
Sixth, General Ricketts,, was wounded
at the outset, and the second in com
mand, General Getty, formed a line

the direct attack on the Sixth corps,
moved TO the Federal left to engage
the cavalry. Sheridan reached the
front at l o'clock and saw the repulse
of Early by the line of troopers. Ar
irving within three miles of the ex-
IRENE trout of the old camp, Sheridan
met the first organized body of troops,
Ricketts, and WheatOn's divisions of
the Sixth corps. These troops had re-
tired less than two miles from their
old camp. Farther on lie met Getty's
division on hillside in position. and

For moment Mrs. Bowser was like

The attention of a policeman standing
on the corner was attracted, and he

Mr.. Bowser had nothing further to
say, but made ready to resume work
The presence of the officer of course
attracted further attention, and several
vehicles stopped in front of the house
that their drivers might learn what the
rumpus was about. 1t took nerve on
Bowser'S part to starboard his helm
and go ahead, but he would not take a
bluff. He had showed the mower al
most eleven feet, and was doing beau
tiful work, when the shaft picked up
a long piece of rusty wire and wound
it up to a stop. Then the policeman
laughed, the children clapped their
hands, and words of satisfaction We're
heard from the sitters.
IF you want my advice began
the officer, but he was interrupted
with:
