WAGE FARMERS AT THE FAIR

Prominent Men Planning to Help
Workers Sec 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 earncrs 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
tiou's welfare department., Of which
Mr.. H. Fl. 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 M. Easley,
chairman Of the Federation's executive
council, in every possible way.
The Exposition management has also
equipped this bureau with clerical u.s.
sistance and a full supply Of Worlds
Fair literature. The bureau will be
used as headquarters for all wage EARL
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.,
it st. Louis and see the Worlds Fair.
It will sec 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-
ing. the points Of interest to be seen
Win a limit of n 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.

Miss Mary Carrick gave a piano re-
citaI last night at Steinway Hall,
which brought out a large audience
composed of the music lovers of the
city. While at her last concert she
achieved a marked and pronounced
success, she showed last night that she
had made great strides over her pre-
vious efforts. Her playing is clear cut
and facile. She interprets with intelli-
gence and a thorough understanding Of
the subject she is handling, and in
many instances her execution is OF un-
usual brilliancy. Her auditors were en-
thusiastic and she was recalled after
every number. Following is the pro-

statement is correct and learning
what can be realized for the, benefit
of the creditors.
No brokers in this city have been
affected by the suspension of Bolton,
De Ruyter & Co. Only one member
of the firm belonged to the San Fran
cisco Stock and Bond Exchange, this
being Bolton. De Ruyter says that
no bank is concerned as a creditor.
While the suspension was discussed
by the brokers of the Stock and Bond
Exchange yesterday, before and after
meetings, there was no action to be
taken by the board, as the firm was
not a member. The volume of busi-
ness transacted by the Stock and
Bond Exchange was not disturbed
visibly by the Bolton, De Ruyter mis-
hap. No business was transacted by
Bolton, De Ruyter & Co. yesterday.
The experts toiled all day over the
books of the concern. Until this work
is completed it will not be known how
long Genung and O'Connell operated.
OConnell has not been employed by
the firm for some months. He was
dismissed about three months ago..
Since then he has been East and re-
turned to- this city only recently. He
has played the races more or less.
That was the reason assigned for dis
missing him.
The firm of Bolton, De Ruyter & Co.
had no idea that O'Connell had any,
thing to do with the shortage that has
been discovered until Genung, being
questioned, mentioned O'Connelrs
name. To his friends O'Connell de-
nies that he has operated in connec-
ton with Genung and also denies
that he was in any way RESPONSE
BILE for the shortage and the troubles
that have befallen his former en-
ployers.

Hunting Balloons In South Africa.
The balloons which frequent this
rocky country are so destructive to the
stock farms that organized raids have
to be made upon them. 1t is useless
trying to get shot at the baboon dur
Ing the day; he is a willy creature and
Euows the deadly effects of a rife Just
IS well as the hunter.
Early In the morning the party leave
the farm and quietly surround the
kranz, or rock, where the unsuspecting
balloons are sleeping. At the first
break Of dawn the head baboon Is on
the move, to see that everything 10
right He no sooner makes an appear
ance than he is greeted with a shower
Of lead. In an instant the whole troop

thither, bowling with rage and pain,
looking for place OF escape. But few
Of them succeed. Directly the hunters
have retired, the blacks, who have
been following up the party, make q
rush for the tails Of the balloons.
Sometimes they are In so great hurry
to secure these that they fail to OBJ
serve that the baboon Is not dead and
an ugly bite or tear Is the result. The
tails are taken to the magistrates Of

vxtcEed on the story.

Irohaily most writers of serial sto-
ries are familiar with the sensation Of
receiving letters of com mendation or
disapproval from interested readers
who are following up the stories as
they appear in their regular weekly or
monthly installnents. Occasionally
some curious person asks for private
information as to what the outcome IS
to be, while others offer suggestions
as to the disposition to be made of the
villain or express 4 fear that the au-
thor is to marry the hero to the wrong
woman.
The writer OF serial story In one Of
the popular magazines few years ago
received the following letter from an
indignant reader. The names are
changed for obvious reasons:
