PROSPECTS VERY ENCOURAGING

Never In the history OF the Michi-
gan State Fair, which extends over a
period OF ffty-eight years. were there
so many entries made by the time the
Fair opened as were received this
year, four weeks in advance of the
first day. The indications are that
In nearly every department the num-
Der OF entries will be doubled. and
the perplsxing problem is how to set
aside ample space for each. Exhibi-
tors will have TO content themselves
with less space than one year ago.
In order to accommodate the great in
crease. 1t was thought that ample
provisions had been made for the an
ticipated Increase, by extensions and
additions, hut even with the largely
increased space allotted to each d.
vision the management is still devils
ing every possible means to care for
all who come.
IL has been fully demonstrated that
many new buildings will have to be
built another year on account of the

Of the opening OF the fair. there were
eightythree applications for space,

HIS CAUSE FOR SUICIDE.
Chinese Servant Declared His Mistress
Singing Was Too Much.

Queer is the story related of a
Chinese man servant. who declares
that he prefers death itself to the in
Fiction Of hearing his mistress. who
is described as lyric artist. practising
her songs, morning. noon, and night.
And, odd to relate. this particular
heather seems to be sincere. as he has
really made several attempts on his
life, and even. after his last vain en-
deavor. repeated his resolution to die
rather than be condemned to listen to
strains which he regards as anything
but dulcet. Evidently the lyric art
has no charms for him. This eccen-
trio individual was brought to Europe
by the lady's husband a year ago.
but 1t is only recently that he de-
veloped this inveterate dislike to her
music. Last month. ii is said, he con-
cocted a sort of poison and made him
self sick with it. but the result went
no further. Then he tried opium, but
awoke apparently none the worse
from phenomenal spell of sleep.
AS poisons and drugs were powerless
in helping him to carry out his project
of shutting off the mortal COIL the
Chinese man servant decided on trying
more active measures. One morning
he took w his position on the balcony
of the house inha bited by the family
which courts the muses. and. after TAX
ing a last look. as he imagined, at the
self into space. 1t SO CHANGED that a
motor car was coming along. On the
top of the automobile reoosed oox
containing a provision of tires and. as
luck would have it. the Chinese tumbl-
ed in among them and they broke his
fall so that he got off with shock.
But such an acrobatic exhibition. even
from a preventative of tho Celestial
Empire, was not relished by the occu-
pants of the motor car. who protested
so vigorously against this peculiar ad-
ditiOn to their company that the whole
party were soon on their way to the
police station. The luckless Chinese
failed to make himself understood, ana
like a deadlock woulo
have been the result If the lyric artist
had not appeared to claim him.
This was the third time within a
month that he had tried to put an end
to his days. and she insisted on know
ing the reason. Then the man servant
fonud his tongue, and in broken
French replied. before the officials ana
the automobile set. "Al want TO
know. 1 say French madame howls
too much. 1 die or hook it. Prompt
measures are being taken for the res
toration of this hopeless Chinese to
