The overseers were for the most part
cross and exacting. On the last after
noon Blaisdell was in his Office ar
ranging the papers with the expecta.
ton that his work would soon be fin
ished. Presently he had occasion to
go into the main room, and while
there the Office boy brought In the mail
and dumpe- it upon the table. Blais-
dell stepped across and selected his.
One letter was in a well-known hand,
and he moved quickly to window
and opened it with trembling fingers.

Dear Mr.. Blaisdell:

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.
Prevail Upon Judge Parker to Estab. fish His Headquarters in New York-Goes There On Issuance
 of Letter.

New York, Sept. 15.-There is every reason to believe that Judge Parker has decided to make arrangements to come to New York for temporary resi- dence soon after his formal letter of acceptance is made public. It is known that leading Democrats have strongly represented to him that his continued presence at such an incon- venient location as Rosemount, with no hotel accommodations, has kept him from personal contact with prom inent men who are freqently in New York City, but who have not time for the journey to Esopus The plan has even progressed so far as mak- ing tentative arrangements for him to take a suite of rooms here. According to those close in Judge Parkers coun- cils. his idea is to be immediately in touch with the party leaders and accessible to those whom is it needful and desirable to meet as the campaign progresses.

'I have decided not to say anything about this" answered MT. Morgan.
 "But." urged the reporter, mo doubt you know that after the publication of your visit, the President of the United States saw fit to issue a gen. eral denial of the Worlds article. There is a possibility that the Presi- dent of the United States might be made to appear in false light in case you should insist upon declining to say anything about the correctness of its article"
 q think you have had all the denial you need" said Mir Morgan, with a merry twinkle in his eye. "A yes or no from you would settle the matter for once and all, ; said the reporter.
 q think I have said all I care to say about this matter" responded MT. Morgan. There was a smile upon his sunburrt face as he boarded his launch to go abroad the Corsair, which was riding at her anchor but few | cabin lengths from the landing.

 'I have no statement to make about this matter" said MT. Morgan.
 Mir Morgan" sid the reporter, the World printed this report of your visit to Oyster Bay after most care ful investigation.

REPUBLICANS PLANNING
For Big Demonstration at indianab- oiis-6everidge to Be Attraction.

Indianapolis. Sept 15.-With the re- turn of Senator Beveridge. who has been sojourning for two and a half months in the woods of Maine, the Republican state campaign has taken on new fife. The Senator has ac- quired a rich coat of tan, and is in the best of health and spirits. Chair man Goodrich. of the Marion county committee, has awaited his home con- ing before making arrangements for a big demonstration at Indianapolis.
 The tentative plan is now to- have this demonstration occur about Sep tember 22. The only speaker will be Senator Beveridge, and es he has spent a good deal of time and pains taking care preparing speech in the seclusion of the Maine forests is 1t expected that his address will be notable effort, and that it will sound the keynote of the national campaign. After his Indianapolis speech the Junior Indiana Senator will be continu- ousiy on the stump in this state. It has been arranged that Senator Fair banks shall have the honor of closing the Indiana campaign wsth a bag demonstration in this city similar to that which is to be given for Senator BeveTidge.
 Senator Beveridge has vital per sonal interest in this years campaign, as memers of the Legislature are to be elected who will select his successor to the United States Senate. He is a candidate to succeed himself and as yet he has no Republican opponent. There is every indication that he will have 8 clear field. as far as h.s own

POKlNG FUN At TR|GGS
FORMER MINNESOTAN LOSES
SUIT FOR LIBEL AGAINST
NEW YORK SUN,
Supreme Court Judges Had to LAUGH
at the Suit Brought by Him
Against Newspaper.

NEW YORK. June 21.-The staid
judges of the appellate division of the
supreme court-men who ordinarily
ponder with froWning thoughtfulness
over ltigated points and then write
erudite opinions which tax the under
standing of those less learned in the
law than themselves-ha to laugh out
right at the suit which Professor Oscar
Lowell Triggs brought against the New
York Sun.
The professor. who. when at the Uni
versity of Chicago, gained wide noto-
riety by his enthusiastic exploitation
of his idiosyncracies which were just
sprOuting when he was at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, wanted the newspa-
per chastised, financially, for holding
him up to ridicule and contempt by
poking fun at his peculiar theories as
to literature.
The appellate division not only told
the professor that he wasn't entitled
to damages from the Sun, but went so
far as to poke more fun at the hurt
plaintiff for his inability to appreciate
the humOr in the newspaper articles.
SO Triggs has abandoned his suit in
disgust.
The Sun certainly did cause the
public to smile broadly. if not to laugh
theories as to the creation and inter-
probation of poetry. Triggs had pro-
mulgated certain hard and fast rules.
and the Sun applied these rules with a
vengeance to the writings of such men
as Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes and
Emerson, with ludicrous effect. Added
to this We're sundry truculent COM
ments of the editorial writer apropos
of the professors ideas on literature in
general. Triggs was wrathy. He'd
have the Sun punished. he would: and
suit for damages was begun forthwith h.
Through the special term the case
went and laughter followed in its wake,
laughter in which juristS, lawyers, the
court attaches and bench-WarmerS all
joined. Then appeal was taken, and
the higher court said that the article
certainly tends TO make the ideas with
which the plaintiff is charged ridicu-
lOus, but there is nothing charged
against him which makes him as a man
infamous. odiOus o. ridiculous"
The plaintiff" continued the court,

not been stimulated, the features of
the exposition have not been exploited,
enthusiasm has not been awakened.
Down town you would never guess
from appearances that anything I'M
usual was going on. There are fewer
visitors to the city than there were in
ing in excursiOnists. the hotels are not
crowded.
Along the streets you will see at fire.
Quent intervals for rent" signs that
mark the departure of various cafes,
lodging houses and catchpenny enter
prises of those who have already tired
of waiting for the crowds to come to
the fair. M. .B. Graves. the proprietor
of the Golden West hotel at Minneap-
oils, has fitted up building at Twelfth
and Olive streets, which can accommo-
date 5000 guests, which now wonders
if he was not dreaming. Many hotels
look like Coney Island lighthouses in
winter time. The fine new jefferson
hotel is almost gloomy even at the
dinner hour.
Everybody is saying the people will
rush here beginning in August. But
are they going to rush? That is a
speculation that produces painful anx-
iety on the part of concessionaires. St
Louis is likely to find out that failure
to advertise is d good deal like kiss
ing d girl in the dark-you may know
what you are doing, but nobody else
does.
On the Pike, as the midway is called,
the shows are doing some business.
The best ones are making expenses,
perhaps, but they are ly-hooing as
hard for their dollars as if they were at
of amusement attractions, or rather,
there will be in thirty days. when they
all get TO going, and this feature of the
fair is likely to prove the most sue
cessful of any. The shows are big af-
fairs, most of them, backed by stock
companies entailing an expenditure in
the aggregate of $4,000, 900, it is said.
Fifty dollars per front foot has been
paid for ground. and in addition the
concessionairss have been compelled
to give up all the way from % to 40
per cent of gross receipts to the expCsi-
ton management. How deeply some
of them have dipped in can be judged
from the circumstance that Hagen
beck's animal show represented an ex-
pense of $127,OO0 before the doors
opened. No wonder the "spielers' are
barking like dogs at the front of every
show, while the managers are gloomy
Yesterday one concessiOnaire, who has
been feeding fifty performers for six
ty days, if he has not been paying
salaries while waiting for his building
to be completed was evicted. bag and
baggage. His money had run out be-
fore he had got the chance to open
his doors.
Don't think, from what | have written
in a SursOry sort of way. that the
fair either is or is likely to be a fail
ure. 1t is the biggest fair the world
has ever seen in many respects-too
big, perhaps for the sight seer, and too
big for the men who have been manag-
ing it. The critical time seems to have
arrived. and perhaps now. that the
fixing up of the grounds and arrange
ment of exhibits is we'll in hand. some
thing will be done to bring the people
here to pay the dollars that will cut
down the gigantic financial loss that
seems imminent.
