MINNEAPOLIS. NOT KOlt LOVE, An evening paper prints a love story In which tho lute M. J. Bofferdinir, cashier of the Bank of Minneapolis, figures as the hero.and "ayoung woman of Minneapolis" as the heroine. The young woman Is "nameless here forever more," "blameless," too, according to the evening paper. It would never do to publish her name. She has since married, and besides her affection for Mr. Bofferding was purely platonic, because she knew he had a wife. But, however that may be, the lady's name is not divulged. This concealment elves the paper boundless scope for a ro mantic yarn, just as a man swimming ' under water can perform wonderful natatorial feats without disturbing its surface or being proved a liar. Give us the lady's name. If her af fection was a platonic friendship, why should she or her husband object? The fact of the matter is, Mr. Bof ferding committed suicide because he dared not face the results of Phil Scheme's defalcations. What respousi " bility may have rested upon him for the dishonesty of his subordinate no bjtv >.v s. but everybody does know that ifSsh oiir had returned of Ins own vol ition and said: "Bofferding cave me this money," he would not be in state's prison today. Bofferding may have loved "a young woman of Minne apolis who is now married," but that he shot himself because she married an other man is not to be believed.

MADE: TO THE (HM'i BOARD. F. C. Grlswold Alleges Wanton Extr.avnganco on the Part of the Commissionerj — Wants to Go Before tho Supreme Court —The Menage Matter Brought Up by Detectives. The board of county commissioners met yesterday despite the fact that all other officials were enjoying a holiday, and a significant feature oi the session was the presence of Detectives Hoy and Lawrence, who held a secret con ference with the board. Their mission was not definitely explained, but it is understood it had .some connection looking towards the capture of Menace, and another trip to foreign climes may be looked for on the part of these gen tlemen. The election of officers ensued, result ing in Chairman Conroy securing his former position. In the reorganization Matt 11 1 is was reappoiutert overseer of the poor . farm, and John Walsh was reappointed keeper of the morgue. The services of County Physician O'Brien were retained for th« ensuine year. A sensational petition was read from F. C. Griswold. which asks for a sin gular allowance. He wants the board to recommend him to the supreme court that be may appear before it and make a statement at the rehearing of the court house case. Mr. Griswold is in favor of sustaining the decision, and does not hesitate to charge great ex travagance acuinst the court house commission. He declares that it has wasted two-thirds of the money spent up to date, and is preparing to waste a good deal more, judging from the esti mates. lie desires to have th« present commission abolished and to have the whole matter again submitted to the legislature. He further intimates that there is great need for an investiga tion of tlie commission's affairs, which he considers very loose. Mr. Griswold devoted some time to the items of expenditures of what he called a mutual admiration society. He criticised the payment of $1,700 for of fice furniture for the commission and was particularly severe on the appro priation of $100,000 lor marble and mo saic work. After a lengthy discussion the matter was referred to the county attorney. LOYAL ORANGE LODGE Gave an Entertainment at Mor gan Post Hall Last Night. From an Orangeman's point of view, the entertainment, or, more properly speaking, the anti-Catholic demonstra tion,held in Morgan Post hall last night, was interesting. The attendance was large, and the applause accorded the speakers enthusiastic, to say the least. The "entertainment" was given under the auspices of the Loyal Oran geiuen's Lodge No. 48. There were speakers without number, and several vocal numbers were rendered by a male quar tette. The- sontrs were of the kind that bespoke the sentiments of the assem blage, inasmuch as they derided in rhyme the doctrine of the Catholic church and its communicants. Among the speakers who entertained the audience were Rev. Allen, of Au oka; Rev. D. S. McCaslin, Rev. G. L. Morrill and Rev. B. 11. Brasted. Each of these members of the cloth ridiculed the Catholic church, its teachings and the clergy. Rev. McCaslin was perhaps the most vociferous. He maintaied in the most fervid language that America is threatened with dire disaster, which is to come at the hands of the pope and the laymen of the Catholic church, the latter being the tools of wily priests ana Jesuitical Influence. A crisis is at hand, according to the fiery divine, and it be hooves every loyal American to arm himself for the ordeal. ON THE TRAIL OF MENAGE. Another Expedition to Start for Guatemala. Charles Brackett.son of W. M. Brack ett, and Edward Morse, a former book keeper in the Bank of Minneapolis, will depart in a few days for Central Amer ica, their destination being Guatemala. The object of the trip is said to be the selection and purchase a coffee planta tion, out it is also hinted that the jour ney of the young men is to effect the capture, if possiole, of Louis F. Menage, the former president of the Guaranty Loan company. They have not con sulted County Attorney Nye, Blotting Pad Ike, or Sheriff Ei:t\ and the chances are that they may have discovered a hot scent touching on the hiding place of the fugitive. ANOTHER DIVISION In the Ranks of Trinity Lutheran Church. It appears that the troubles in the Norwegian Lutheran churches of Min neapolis are far from being ended, and at a meeting of the congregation of Rev. M. F. Gjertsen's church yesterday it was decided to divide the church into two branches. It is understood that C. 11. Blichfeldt, who is opposed to Rev. Gjertsen, is at the head of the movement, and tnat the new division will consist of seventy families, who have agreed to leave the Trinity Lutheran church. A SAD NEW YEAR For the Family of John Goodly, Who Was Killed by Drink. John Goodly, a driver in the employ of the Gund Brewing company, died at the city hospital yesterday from the supposed effects of delirium tremens. The attack was the third of the kind, and he was taken intensely ill on Sun day. The deceased resided at 415 Fifteenth street, and he leaves a wife and chil dren. Wintheiser Let Out.

Last Saturday an impromptu meeting of the water works committee was held, at which the resignation of Mr. Wintheiser was accepted. W. A. Steveus was appointed to till the posi tion. A NEW YKAK'S BKBMON. Impressive Services at the linmao ulate Conception. High solemn mass was celebrated yes terday at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, tho ltev. Father Eirun offi ciating, assisted by Father Keeue, dea con, and Father Mclntyre.sub-deacou. Trof. Baldwin was at the organ, and Guonod's third mass was sung, the offertory beiiii: rendered by Miss Nellie O'Brien, assisted by Mrs.Thompson and Messrs. Bowlea and Mouahan. In the course of his New Year's ser mon Father Keene said: "On the iirst day of the new year let us take a retrospective view of the past and a look into the future. A view of the past cannot fail to impress us with the sadness and disappointments of life. The hopes we have ot the future are almost always better than tho reality. It is characteristic of human life that we don't realize the value of present when they are with us. God has visited us during the past year, and perhaps it is only today that we realize it for the lirst time. "The love of a noblo friend is the noblest, but not the highest thing in life. The love that will go through the year and increase in its intensity until unfaith is gone and it develops into the everlasting love is the highest thins on earth or in heaven. What is a year? It is but a measure of time, a mere blank. Life manifests itself in its activities. Has it been a successful year? How much the more have we known of Nazareth? Let us arise to the new duties that begin today, and thoughtfully and carefully form our resolutions for the new " year. Our thoughts this morning should not be sad. Let us come to the new year with strength and vigor of life that we may view witn exultation the dawn of IS'J4, and our world will be transformed from one of pain to one of pleasure, and give us commitment even in our exile." A CLERICAL. LUNCHEON Tendered by the Rector of St. Mark's — The Martin Bequest. The Episcopalian ministers yesternay were entertained at luncheon by the rector of bt. Marks' church— J. J. Maude — Dean Graham, J. Prosser, E. J. Pmdy, Mr. Bywater, William Wilkin son, A. Alexander, T. K. Milspaugn and Mr. Toftsen being present. The subject of The Martiu Bequest to St. Barnabas hospital was seriously considered. It is valued at $60,000, and whether it will recain here or go to New York depends upon the interest taken by Minneapolis people. The trustees ore Judge At water and Prof. Folwell, and the fate of the prop erty depends upon their decision. The meeting thanked the newspapers for announcing the services, and respect fully ask that the location or churches and time of all the services be published for the good of the churches and the public convenience. THE CONTEST IS OVER. Gov. Nelson "Will Probably Name Judge Canty's Successor Today. The contest as to who will succeed Thomas Canty on the district bench has about drawn to a close. The claims of the various candidates have all been placed before the governor, and the record is made up. The Democrats, so far as the situation goes, have entire confidence that if the governor desires to appoint a Democrat he can rind ample justification for his course. The com bined petitions of the Democratic aspir ants contain the names of 95 per cent of the Republican bar. There are no seri ous dissensions in the Democratic ranks all statements to the contrary notwith standing. It is confidently believed that the gov ernor will prove equal 10 the occasion, and that his appointment wili be emi nently satisfactory to all, and that he will have regard for the wishes of the bar, so unanimously expressed.

Regarding the statement of a local contemporary, charging bitter dissen sions in the ranks of the Union League club. City Attorney Simpson enters a vigorous protest. Be claims that the affairs of the club have been . misrepre sented by the local Democratic organ, and that several surprises will ' be sprung at the annual meeting of the club to be held the third Monday ot this month. THE FESTIVE BURGLARS. They Extend Sew Year's Congrat ulations to Two Households. < The residence of E. M. Johnson, at 524 Fourth street southeast, was entered last night during the absence of the family, and several articles were stolen, among them a gold watch, a diamond pin and considerable silverware. The police have no clue to tho burglars. The dwelling house 1812 Clinton aye- . nue, belonging to A. C. Kerridge. was ransacked sometime between Saturday night and yesterday afternoon. Mr. Kerridge and his family were absent from the city two days, and when they returned . yesterday they found every thing in the house turned topsy-turvy. A great many articles were missing, valued at least at $100. . v A SENSATIONAL CALENDAR . - ' • • I: The Criminal Docket Loaded .; Down With Business. • " The district court will resume busi ness today, and a number of sensations are promised, especially in connection with the criminal calendar. Among the noted cases is that of Fred Chamberlain and his alleged wife.charged with black mail, which will be called today, alter which the Floyd cases, three in all, will be taken up. It is expected that tho case of Mrs. Floyd will be called first.' The trials of Reed and White, supposed to be connected with the. Harris mur der, is also on the calendar for this month. The Markham bribery case will prob ably be disposed of too. ■ Sheriff Ego Heard From. ; ■ Sheriff Ege is still absent from the : city, although he was expected home to spend New Year's with his family. The' supposition is that he is in quest of that vague and shadowy individual known by the euphonious name of "Slim," who is supposed to have had a hand in the Harris murder. Last night, another telegram was received from Mr. Ege, dated at Dubuque, 10. It is hinted that he has dug up another clue as to the whereabouts ot Menage. TALKS IX RIDDLES. . .: Senator Teller's Queer Statement of the Outlook in Colorado. Denver. Jan. I.— Senator Henry M. Teller returned yesterday from a brief visit to Mexico. In an interview last night he said the outlook for Colorado is very gloomy, and in his opinion would not change so long as the present administration is in power. He is satis fied, however, that the condition ot the poor and the linauces were niucii better in Colorado than in any of the Eastern states. He denounced the extra session scheme of Gov. Waile as one of the worst things that could happen to Colo rado. While in Mexico he talked with several officials regarding Gov. Waite's proposition to circulate Mexican dollars in Colorado as legal tender. They all made much sport of the proposition, and declared it would not be feasible. He did not mention it to President Diaz, as he was ashamed to. *'-' ' Mr. Teller believes the United States might profitably imitate the financial policy of Mexico, which Is now the most prosperous country on the Western con tinent. He looks for no favorable silver legislation, but believes that President Cleveland would change his silver pol icy at once should Great Britain see her way clear to adopt a double standard. Mr. Teller returns to Washington Wednesday. •"r v . ; *i ; --*:.' ; ■^ A SHORT SESSION s: And Little Legislation Advised by Gov. McKinley. Columbus, Jan. I.— Gov. McKinley today, iv his message to the legislature, says: "Your honorable body meets at a time when the state is suffering from prolonged industrial depression, for which, unhappily, there appears no im mediate prospect of relief. The people will demand that their representative shall practice the economy in public ex penditures which necessity forces upon them in their private expenditures. A short session and but little legislation' would be appreciated at a time like this." Real estate and other tangible property^ now, he says, pay the olarge share of taxes, while other varieties of property which are intangible either wholly escape or bear a disproportion ate share. He suggests "that the tax commission, which was appointed to and which did make a report recently upon the subject of tax revision, continued for such time a3 it may be deemed wise. It is a bi-partisan body. Its report shows that the burden is very unequally distributed, and inclines to the view that corporations as a class do not bear their fair share. The governor warns against lax legislation framed so as to confiscate capital or drive it out of the state. _ Iron Works to Start Up.

THE EX-MINISTER AGAIN RELIEVES -■; HIS MIND ON THE HAWAIIAN TROUBLE. Meeting: of the Pawtucket Gnr i"'*: field Club Gives Him the ">*' Chance, and Ho Vents His ''"Spleen on the Coarse the Ad- J<* ministration Has Chosen to Pursue in tho Matter. ;; Pawtuckkt, li. 1.. Jan. I.— The Gar field Republican club held a brilliant bang vet this evening, a fitting close to the:day'a inauguration ceremonies. Covers were laid at the Alcazar for 200. Mayor Tjepke presided, and, besides the special guests of the evening, ex-Min ister Stevens and ex-Congressman Horr were present. It was 9 o'clock when Mayor Tiepke introduced lion. John L. Stevens, ex-minister to the Hawaiian islands. Mr. Stevens was received with prolonged applause. His preface was an exhaustive review of the resources and population of the Hawaiian Islands, and their commercial importance to the United States. Treating of the pres ent . aspect of the Hawaiian af fair, he declared that the re turn ot Queen Liliuokalanl to the throne by any outside force or intimida tion by any diplomatic pressure or. chi canery will be a public crime, by whom soever perpetrated. It would make of Hawaii a second Singapore or Hong Kong, It might be all very well for a British colony, but not adapted to Amer ican institutions nor Intended for Amer ican form of government. The execu tive of this great republic has assumed a hostile attitude to the . American col ony in the Havallan islands. Why this unfriendly course of action towards people who never did us any harm? Why this threat of war against people who mean to brine untold wealth to our doors, for nowhere on the globe, except in the North Pacific, is American moni merce so vastly in the ascendency as at Hawaii, which is as Amer ican in its sympathies, its lopes and its ambitious as California or Washington or Maine. It is deeply hu miliating to every true American to see this condition of affair*, and it makes a page on the history at which all Ameri cans must blush. When Cleveland's emissary reached the islands last March there was no part of the United States more peaceful, lor the monarchy was dead and official corruption had been put an end to. This same emissary bore letters of credence to representative Americans whom he subsequently stabbed in the back. On the secret tes timony of enemies . the respectable members of the provisional government : were condemned as criminals, and in- : sulted with the promise that when the grossly immoral Queen Liliuokalani was restored to the throne she would pardon them. • Pardon euch men as Chief Justice Judd and At torney General Hatch, a son of New . Hampshire, and the supe rior legally and in every other respect of Secretary Gresham; pardon such representative men, whose private and otticial charactersjat no period in their past lives ever had a blot upon them. With sorrow and shame we look upon this sad picture to which we have been brought by the present adminis tration. In the name then of freedom loving races, in betialf of all who love justice and fair play. In behalf of Chris tian civilization iv the United States, let us do our duty in endeavoring to put a stop to this extraordinary usurpation of power, and stamp out this outrage inflicted upon our patriotic, devoted and imperiled fellow-countrymen ' of tne North Pacific." Ex-Congressman Eos welt G. Horr, of Michigan, was next in troduced, his address being purely po litical and a vehement denunciation of the Wilson tariff bill. Brief addresses were also delivered by Attorney Gen eral Burbank, a native of the Hawaiian islands; Prof. Williams, of Brown uni versity, and others. : ■ A SMALL. CROWD, But the Prohibition Talk Was Loud. Pittsbuug, Jan. I.— A conference of the leaders of the proposed new Na tional Prohibition party was held at 150 Fourth avenue today. There were twelve people present, about half of them being women. The meeting was merely a business one to arrange for the dissemination of prohibition ideas throughout the country. It wa3 de cided to raise $5,500 and spend it in the interest of the new party. Organizers are to be employed and set to work at once. It was decided to meet every Monday from now till March 14, when the national conference is to be held in this city. On March 13 the state con ference will also be held here. The leaders of the new party figure out that th«»re are 300.000 voters in the Demo cratic party who are prohibitionists at heart, and that there are as many more in the Republican party. The Popu lists, they claim, have 100.000 prohibi tionists in their ranks, and the idea of the new party leaders is to unite all these under the banner of the new na tional party. Bloody Fight With Robbers. Sedalia, Mo., Jan. I.— Ward Wick line, a young farmer, had a bloody en counter with two desperate highway men, three miles west of the city last nitrht. Wickline was walking from Sedalia home when two men sprang in front of him and, covering him with re volvers, commanded him to" throw up his hands. He did so, but one contained a gun and he commenced shooting. The highwaymen returned the fire. Wickline received a ball through the left arm, but kept on shooting until a ball through his thigh knocked him down. The robbers then went through his pockets and secured a considerable sum of money. Rev. Cheney Dead. CoiiUMBUS.O., Jan. I.— Rev. David B. Cheney, D. D., one of the best known ministers of the Baptist church in America, died today in Chicago, aired seventy-three years, and the remains weir shipped to this city for burial. He was one of the oldest members of the American Baptist Missionary union, and was prominent in nearly all the Baptist educational institutions. He served pastorates in Philadelphia, Bos ton, San Francisco, Chicago, and in 1849 was the only Protestant minister who stood his post, during the cholera scourge in this city. ; Prayer Book Cross Unveiled. i San Francisco, Jan. I.— "Prayer Book" cross, a large stone monument erected In Golden Gate park to mark thesDot where Sir Francis Drake read the Episcopal service on the Pacific coast, was unveiled today in the presence of a large number of people. The cross is the . gift of George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, and he defrayed all the expenses of its erection. .-::•;-• Killed by a Hog. Huntsville, Ala., Jan. I.— James Darwin, aged twelve years, while teas ing a big hog this morning, made him angry. He jumped on the boy, knocked him down and literary ate his arm off, besides tearing huge slices of flesh from his legs and breast. Darwin died in a few minutes* ' NOW OPEN TO THE WORLD. FORMAL OPENING OF THI MANCHES TER SHIP CANAL AN OCCASION OF REJOICING By the Citizens of Manchester and All Along the Line — Creation of a Great Port in Direct Com munication With All Ports of . the World— Financial Success Assured. Manchester. Jan. The Manches ter ship canal was formally opened today. The weather was brilliant and the occasion was made notable in every way possible. There was much re joicing in this city and nil along the line of the canal. The mayors and corpora tions of Manchester and Salford started for Latchford, and at Modewheel joined the sea vessels which are due at the Manchester docks at 1 o'clock. Great enthusiasm was manifested everywhere. The newspapers published a list of the vessels en route for Manchester from New Orleans. The great ship canal from Eastham to Manchester is now an accomplished fact, and the town of Manchester, situated about forty miles from the seaboard, can be reached by . sea from New York in about ten hours after arriving at Liverpool. On Dec. 7 a steamer.conveying the directors of the canal, made the entire journey of the canal, but the formal official open ing did not take place until today. In order to realize the full sig nificance of this fact and ot all that it implies we have to consider the sadden creation of a great port in direct com munication with all parts of the world, close to and partly within the confines of an immense commercial city and sur rounded by an industrial population of 3,250.000. Besides the actnal canal the docks are of a most extensive character. The smaller docks and quays, and the upper reach will be principally occupied by coasting vessels, while in the larger clocks will be moored ships from the United States, Canada, India, etc. At other docks will be accommodations for cattle, and, in fact, Manchester has at a stroke become one of the largest and most important ports in the United Kingdom. The work is the outcome of a series of long investigations in parlia mentary committees In the yeani - 1833, 1884 and 18S5. The supporters of the canal, who spent $150,000 in obtaining the act, were the manufacturers and merchants of Manchester, and its prin cipal opponents were the corporation at Liverpool. . With the use of the electric light steamers will be able to navigate by night as well as by day. and the whole length of the canal will be traversed in about ten hours. Some notion of the capacity of the canal may be drawn when we compare its depth with the Suez and Amsterdam canals. The min imum width of the bottom of the Suez is seventy-two feet, and of the Amster dam eighty-eight . feet seven inches, while that of the Manchester canal is 120 feet. The minimum depth of the Man chester and Suez waterways is twenty six feet, and that of tho Amsterdam canal twenty-three feet. A statement signed by 182 steamship owners, possessing more than 1,000 steamers, of an aggregate net tonnage of about 1,000,000 tons— more than 25 per cent of the entire steamship tonnage of the United Kingdom— declares that the canal will be navigable without dif ficulty by merchant steamers of tne largest class, ami that It the charges on the ship canai are not higher thau those of the other ports (and they are actually less fthau most) ship owners will at once make use of the waterway as soon as it is opeu for traffic, and that the ad ditional thirty-five and one-third miles to Manchester from the sea will not in crease the rate of freight charged to Liverpool by a merchant steamer foi a long voyage. It Is believed that the quantity of grain carried over the canal will be at least one-half of that now landed at Liverpool. It is estimated that at least 105,000 tons per annum of fruit and vegetables will at once be imported to Manchester by this route. Ten large sugar merchants have stated that not less than 300,000 tons of sugar per annum will pass through the canal. With re gard to raw cotton, firms iv the district owning 18,000.000 spindles declare that nearly all th« cotton they use will be brought by the canal. Of outward cargo there will be no lack, and textile manu facturers have testified their belief that about 500,000 tons per annum will be dispatched by the new canal. The financial success ot this enor mous undertaking seems to be assured. The promoters of the canal are confident of their ability to secure a very large and remunerative traffic, and estimates of profit based upon the capital as orig inally proposed were very favorable. The original capital of £8,000,000 has, However, now grown to nearly double that amount, and the anticipations of profit are not now so sanguine as they formerly were. That there are, how ever, enormous probabilities of traffic canuot be disputed. AFTER THE REDS. French. Police Slake a Raid on the Anarchists. Paris, Jan. I.— The police raided anarchist quarters In many of the towns in France today, and seized the forms and copy for today's edition of the anarchist journal Pere Peiuard. In this city they also searched the residence of Elisee Reel us, a brother of Paul lleclus, who has been missing since the throw ing of the bomb in the chamber of deputies. At Havre the police searched eleven houses, seized a lot of corre spondence and recovered stolen bonds for 1,500 francs. For the theft of these bonds three anarchists were imprisoned some months ago. Five anarchists were arrested in raids on various towns of the department Seine-Infeneure, including the city of Rouen. A picket of gendarmes, with fixed bayonets, surrounded the house of an anarchist lecturer in the Rue Vierge, Brest, and arrested a well-known an archist named Me unier and three oth ers, together with three women com panions. Meunier had already suffered imprisonment for causing strikes. Five anarchists were arrested at Troy, and a quantity of explosives were seized. Five more anarchists were arrested at Mont lucon. Later particulars about the police descent upon the anarchists are to the effect that the minister of the interior ordered that the searches for anarchists should be made simultaneously through out France. A charged bomb was discovered at Grenoble, and 450 cart ridges were found at Allier. Of these cartridges 63 were charged with dyna mite and 273 with grisentine. lhe remainder were gunpowder cartridges.

VIRGINIA'S NEW GOVERNOR Inaugurated With Great Pomp and Ceremony. Richmond, Va., Jan. I.— Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrall was inaugurated governor of Virginia today with great pomp and ceremony. Local military, consisting of infantry, cavalry and artillery, with visiting soidiery from various sections of the state, repaired to the Exchange hotel, where the governor-elect was stopping, and, in triumphant proces sion, escorted him through the princi pal streets, which were thronged with people, to the state capitol building, where he was sworn into office. Judge L. L. Lewis, president of the supreme court of appeals, administered the oath. This ceremony took place from the southern portion of the capitol. Gov. O'Ferrall then proceeded to deliver a long inpugural address. In a panegyric on Virginia he declared: "She has never swerved from the lighted way of the constitution; the song of the siren has never templed her; the tongue of flattery has never seduced her: the voice of the hyena has never frightened her: thu menace of tyranny has never terrified her; the bowlings ot the wolf have never dis turbed her; the threats ot malice have never alarmed her. Firm and immova ble she has stood in all the years that have run their circles since she gave her pledge to be true to the fundamental law of this land." Coming down to practical questions of the day, lie declared that the ques tions of taxation, of education, of rail roads, the fisheries and oyster immigra tion, volunteer soldiery and disabled Confederates, should receive his careful attention. Concluding, he complimented the administration of his predecessor, Gov. McKinney. ••»■ Will Move to Denver. Denvek, Col., Jan.

Chicago, Jan. 1. — Jackson park, with its relics of the fair, came into the pos session of the public today. The wagon gates were thrown wide open, turn stiles were taken down and the Colum bian guards retired to the buildings. During the morning a constant stream of persons poured through the Stony island avenue gate. In tho afternoon the multitude grew to a sizs that would not suffer with comparison to one of the big days prior to September. Bicyclists came in clubs, equestrians in parties, carriages and buggies in lons lines, small boys in gangs and the great host of foot passengers. Midway, even de molished, was the attraction, and was stripped of everything portable early in the day. The Javanese village was com pletely carried off, and the Jap tea house, east of the fisheries building, met a like fate. Only its bare walls were left standine. Two men climbed to the top ot the MacMonnies fountain in their search for relics, but were dragged away by the police. It is esti mated that 30,000 people were in the park during the day. The buildings tiro still closedand under guard. Denounced by Mrs. Lease. Topeka, Kan., Jan.
