no more jams at the fair.
Cticago Day’s Crush Gave the People
a Scare.
jhe Belief That a Million. People
Would Be On the Grounds at the
Wind UP Now Abandoned—To-mor
row Will Be All Cities’ Day—A Fes
tival Concert of Chicago Composers
And An All Day Celebration In the
Woman’s Building.
Chicago, Oot. 36.—There is not likely to
bf any more days of great attendance at
the fair. To-day was rainy and cold and
decreased the estimated figures of at
tendance for this week. Some people
hoped that a million people would go
through the gates the last day, which
will be next Monday, but the crush of
Chicago day, which was something over
716,000, scared people a trifle. Indeed it
was that fear that in some
measure kept the figures for Manhattan
day down. A half million or more people
were confidently expected and many of
those here to attend the fair, and a large
number of Chicago people, deemed it wise
to stay away. It is this feeling that may
keep crowds away the last day, which is
now being boomed. If another million
people see the fair, including those who
struggle in after the gates are officially
closed, sanguine expectations will be
realized. That would put the total paid
attendance at 21,431,799.
ALL, CITIES’ DAT.
Saturday will be all cities’ day, and
responses to invitations to mayors from
numerous cities have been numerous.
Exercises will be held at Music Hall at
10 o'clock and at noon a fan fare of uni
versal peace and a salute of cannon will
greet the mayors as they enter the
grounds. The address of welcome will be
made by Mayor Harrison. Responses
will be made by several of the visitors.
James H. Norton will make an address,
and the entertainment will conclude with
musical selections.
A festival concert of Chicago com
posers will take place at 3 o’clock the
same day.
There will be an all day celebration in
the woman’s building. In the morning
addresses will be made by representa
tives of different cities, followed by a
concert. In the evening an interesting
entertainment will be given.
To-morrow will be coal, grain and lum
ber dealers' day.
Californians may have an opportunity
to hear the lowa state hand, which has
become fixed in the popular heart at this
exposition, at their mid-winter fair. The
manager of this now famous lot of musi
cians is in San Francisco, and it is under
stood is about to close negotiations to
bring his men and instruments to Cali
fornia.
AX ENTERTAINMENT FOR CHARITY.
Under the patronage of Mrs. Potter
Palmer an entertainment is to be given
in the woman’s building to-morrow for
the benefit of destitute crippled children.
The ladies have been energetic in piling
up a subscription fund to help swell the
receipts. Mrs. Isabel Garrison, now in
Canada, has the matter in charge, and she
has told the national commissioners that
she is coming to them individually and
that the only compromise they can make
with her on this charity is relative to the
amount of their contributions. The gal
lant gentlemen of the commission have
promised to be liberal. Mrs. Garrison has
received a check from Henry Irving and
Helen Terry for $l5O for this charity.
The total admissions to-day were 222,-
67aj-’of which 192,649 paid.

mended by th'e director general.
A MEXICAN BANK FAILS.
Its Liabilities $1,100,000 and its
Nominal Assets $1,200,000.
New York, Oct. 26.—A dispatch to the
World from the city of Mexico says:
“The banking house of Pedro Martin &
Sons, established thirty years ago, and
for a long time the correspondent of the
house of Baring, has failed with liabilities
of $1,100,000 and nominal assets
of $1,200,000. The house assigned
to the National Bank, the Interna
tional and Morgan Bank and the president
of the French Benevolent Society. It
is believed that the house will
pay on liquidation 65 to 70
per cent. This is the most important
failure here for many years, but it will
not affect the mercantile community, as
the house was chiefly a place of deposit
for French t rades people. leading bankers
say the conduct of the house has been
strictly honorable, and that the failure is
due to its inability to realize on the se
curities it held.

Wrathy and Insists That the Actor
Was Already Married.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct, 26.—Charles
Coghlan, tho English actor, who is
starring jointly with his sister, Rose
Coghlan, was married here late Tuesday
night to Miss Kuehne Beveredge, a mem
ber of the company, and a
young woman who has made a
considerable reputation as a sculp
tress, she having made busts of
President Cleveland and other prominent
men. The marriage ceremony was per
formed by Justice Daniels, and was fol
lowed by a wedding supper, to which
only a few members of the company were
invited. Strenuous efforts were made to
keep the whole affair a secret. The com
pany went to Louisville from here.
COGHLAN ADMITS THE MARRAGB.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 26.—Charles Cogh
lan, of the Coghlan Dramatic Company.,
when seen to-day in regard to his re
ported marriage at Indianapolis last Tues
day night to Miss Kuehne Beveredge,
also of the company, answered pleasantly,
and said that he married Miss'Beveredge
Tuesday night after the jierformance.
He was in a rush getting the ladies set
tled at the hotel, and begged, after con
firming the report of the marriage, to lie
excused from saying anything more.
The marriage was kept secret on Mr.
Coghlan’s instruction.
THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE.
Miss Beveredge is not yet 19, and is a
young woman of striking beauty. She is a
sculptress, who has become famous from
a bust of President Cleveland made by
her. She is a granddaughter of ex-Gov
emor Beveredge, of Illinois, and is a
young woman of fine character. She has
a minor part in “Diplomacy,” but is ca
pable of greater things. She has been on
the stage only this season.
Mr. Coghlan is one of the best known
men on the stage. He was the literary
administrator of Lord Bulwer, has writ
ten several plays and has another in
course of preparation. He is 52 years
old, and was born in Paris. This is his
first marriage.
AN INDIGNANT DENIAL.
Chicago, Oct. 26. —The reported bride
is a granddaughter of Ex-Gov. Bever
edge of Illinois. The ex-governor this af
ternoon gave a more sensatioual tinge to
the story by declaring that Mr. Coghlan
already had a wife living. “You may
deny the report of the marriage
in ' the most emphatic language,”
ho said. “Mr. Coghlan is a mar
ried man, and his wife and daughter
were here with him twice during the past
summer. My granddaughter is a member
of the Coghlan company and I knew that
they were playing in Indianapolis this
week. My daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bever
edge, is with Kuhne, and would certainly
not allow her to become entangled with a
married man. I believe that Mrs. Cogh
lan is traveling with the company, for she
was here in September when the Cogh
lans opened their season.

A MERRY BEAST IS REYNARD.
Restless, Alert, Full of Resources, a
Devllmay-Care Life is the Fox’s.
From the New York Sun.
“How few people know what an inter
esting chap the fox is,” said the natural
ist. "They know him only by reputation,
and that as a chicken thief, which ho is.
But he has lots of points, I tell you. A
merry, sly dog is Reynard. All summer
he lives in luxurious ease, roauflng the
woods and sauntering l>y the pearly
brooks, or basking in the noonday sun.
“He loves fish; and going down to the
stream he waits till lie spies a plump
trout. It’s over in a twinkling A leap,
a snap, and off he trots with his juicy
morsel. A stupid crawfish snoozes by his
hole near tho water’s edge. Reynard
drops his tail in the water and tickles
him with it. The angered crustacean
comes out of his hiding place and is seized
and crushed, armor and all. When the
ripening corn is ready to drop, and the
luscious fruits have reached their
maturity, and all nature is plethoric
with ripening fulness, then Master Fox
is in clover. Timid rubits prick up their
ears and run, unconscious of danger,
along the hillside; the quails skulk noise
lessly in the wheat stubble; birds pour
forth their notes of praise—and he
catches them all. He loves fruits.
Stealthily stealing into orchards, where
apples and plump ]>ears tempt, and in the
vineyard he fairly revels in grapes. His
cubs grow fat and saucy. He shows
them how to pilfer honey, and when the
busy bee3 have laid up a w inter store he
crawls to the hives near the garden
fence, and, Jumping up to the small open
ing, licks tho sweet drops with pure de-
light. Out come the stinging, humming
honey-makers aud settle like a pall on his
thick pelt; but he doubles up in a tvvink
ling, and, rolling over and over, crushes
them by the score and eats them as a rel
ish.
"Cunning! No animal beats him. Look
at his brainy head. His delicate ears—
broad below to catch every sound from
the highest note of the shrill warbler to
the low crooning of the cricket, or the
distant murmur of storm, or the fevered
pants of the prancing hounds, and taper
ing so sharply to a point that they can
shape themselves to every wave of air
that makes the tiniest rustle of noise.
Note tho crafty calculation and foresight
of the low, fiat brow. What a nose!
Now' full of resolute purpose, pointing
straight forward and anon turning up
with concentrated malice and scorn.
The eye, deep set, a regular robber’s eye,
lacking the soft beauty of the timid deer,
or the fascinating glare of the cat’s, yet
it trembles with modest humility,
or glares with murderous rage, flash
ing fire and vengeance. Energy and
seif control speak in the thin cyn
ical lips, and the mouth opens from ear to
ear. He can leap, crawl, run, and swim
with the velocity of lightning, and his
wiry' body is carried so noiselessly along
that scarce a trace is left. His delicate
footfalls echo no response even among the
dead leaves of the forest. His walk is
treacherous, his glance sinister. Seizing
a bunch of grain in his mouth he will
swim into the midst of a flock of ducks
and seize the plumpest for a dinner.
"He will feign death like a ’possum,
and even the hound’s teeth and the flash
of gunpowder have failed to arouse him.
A farmer surprised one in a hen roost.
Believing that the fox was dead from
overheating, the farmer kicked the stiff
ened body on the floor, picked it up by tho
tail, and flung it out in the barnyard. In
a jiffy the fox gathered up his legs and
escaped.
"He is voracious, is reynard. When
hunger-pressed, and gaunt and lean from
starvation, he’ll not refuse serpents and
toads and moles and rats. He has been
known to attack and kill young calves
and lamb, and if the seashore is hear will
revel in oysters, and shellfish A group of
rabbits ftgSdVig A.AJoVer patch.
He’ll crawl along, nibbling the juicy
flowers, until near enough to make a grab.
He'll stalk a bird with hil hind logs
dragging behind him.uutil near enough to
spring. How farmers dread his inroads
ip the poultry yard. Fasten the yard up
, tight and he will burrow a winding pas
' sage into the ground beneath ana sud
denly appear among the drowsy chickens
and stupid geese, whose shrill and
alarmed cries arouse tho farmer from his
bed to sally' forth, finding all safe. Then
the fox will sneak back and pack away
with the plumpest pullet or the fattest
goose.
“February is the month when reynard
goes awooing, and a wide range he takeg,
flirting and toying with every vixen that
chances in his way. It is fully sixty' days
before madame clears the .rubbish all out
of her burrow and brings forth her young,
from three to six at a litter. It will be
full.v a month before the sharp-nosed cubs
begin to play and gambol about the door
way of their home. Perhaps it will be at
the root of an old tree, beneath a ledge of
rocks, or in the hollow of a dead tree
trunk, or a burrow with several en
trances in the sand or loam. Tell-tale
chicken bones, and feathers and fur
strewn about the entrance speak of many
a hen roost robbed, or of foolish rabbits
and over-confident grouse that have fur
nished food for the over-hungry cubs.
The mother fox faithfully feeds her
young and boldly steals to support them.
Hho knows, as all the sportsmen know,
that tho hounds will not follow her while
she has a family depending upon her.
"A merr.v, devil-ma.vcare life does the
fox lead, indeed! It may be a short one,
for traps and snares are many, hunters
are alert, and the scent of hound is keen.
But reynard rollicks and roisters, and
plays the bold freebooter amid it all.”
How to Find Out the Longest Hour of
the Day or Night.
Actual and repeated experiments have
shown, says Tid Bits, that the nearest hour
of the day or night may he ascertained in the
following very'Cureous way: Make a small
running loop In a pice of sewing thread about
a foot In length, place a shilling in this loop,
see that the coin is accurately bisected by the
thread, and then draw the loop tight up. so
that the shilling is firmly slung at one end of
the thread. Put on a solid table a glass
tumbler with a fairly wide mouth. Rest your
right elbow on the table In a firm and easy
position, so as to avoid any shaklnuss In
your hand, hold the other end of the thread
between your first finger and the ball of the
thumbfl. e.the fleshy top joint of the thumb:,
so that the thumb nail is undermost, and a
few inches above the middle of the mouth of
the glass. Now, If you keep your hand quite
steady, the movement of the coin, which is
hanging inside the tumbler, will become less
and less until the shilling is motionless.
Then. In half a minute or so, a very slight
and regular vibration will commence, the
coin oscillating from side to side like a
pendulum, and gradually increasing
the length of movement until It gen
tly strikes the side of the glass. This strike
goes on in the most regular and automatic
way, first on one side of the glass and then on
the other, until, say. eight strokes have been
struck; the vibrations of the coin then dimm
ish in length, until the suspended shilling
again becomes motionless anu hgngs in the
middle of the tumbler. You look at your
watch and find that 8 o clock is the nearest
hour. I have tried this over and over again,
deliberately setting about the experiment
without bias or any intention of influencing
the swing of the coin, and also being ignorant
of the time, and when my hand bus been
steady the right time has invariably been
struck There ts something very curious
about this phenomenon. Whether the thread
is influenced by the pulse In the "ball" of the
thumb or whether there is some unconscious
transference of "intention" from the brain to
the thread, I do not know; but in any case
the matter is sufficiently interesting to be
worthy of a critical test by parsons who will
carefully and without bias carry out this sin
gular experiment of telling the time.

Acted Like a Lot of Republicans.
A missionary stationed at ono of the South
Sea Islands determined to give uis|residence a
coat of whitewash, says the Buffalo Commer
cial. To obtain this, in the absence of lime,
coral was reduced to powder by burning. The
natives watched the processor burning with

became the rage. Happy was the coquette
who could enhance her charms t y a daub of

might be seen in every direction, capering
joviutly and yelling with delight in the con
templation of the superior beauty of their
whitewashed balms.
