Fair Attendance Increasi |.

George B. Hid, general pas
senger agent in st. Louis for Til
Southern Pacific Rrilway, gave
out statistics compiled BY the
railroad showing that nearly
100000 from all parts Of the
world have visited the Panama.
Pacific Exposition to date.
The railroad has been kept
busy transporting visitors to
the Golden State, and San Fran
cisco and other coast cities have
been reaping an unprecedented
harvest.
An idea of the daily attend
'ance at the fair may be gained
from the consideration that on
July 8, 65,757 were admitted to
the fair grounds; July 4 the
number reached 1894 and
July S more than 100000 at
tended.
= Conventions innumerable are
in progress throughout Califof-
MIA, according to the Southern
Pacific, statistics. San Francis
co alone, during a single week,
entertained delegates to 81 con-
ventions.
Twenty special trains have
been ordered from the Southern
Pacific for the mammoth con-
vention of the Shrine Moosers
to be held at Seattle.

Rev. Simpson Of the NJ. E.

had been intoxicated and would
not make complaint.
Marshal Wolf, after the re-
fusal, was obliged to admit the
evidence was scant, but he had a
strong feeling, peculiar to the
