LOVELY WOMEN
STOOP TO FOLLY.
A Row Among the World’s Fair
Lady Managers.
Paderewski Succeeds in Playing
on His Favorite Piano.
The White Citv Looked Attractive in the
Sunlight.
World’s Fair Grounds, Chicago. 111-,
May 2.—When the board of lady mana
gers assembled in the woman s building
for their regular meeting today, there
was a jolly row growing out of yester
day's dedication ceremonies. Many of
the ladies are intensely angry with the
ceremonies committee on account of what
they are pleased to call an unpardonable
slight, and utile s wise heads prevail the
whole matter will be officially brought
before the board iti the form of a vigo
rous protest, w’.r.ch will make trouble.
The dissatisfied ladies accuse the cere
monies i■. mini'itoe and Mrs. Mary Lo
gan, as well as the president of the
board, in particular, with assuming to
run the woman's department in exclu
sion of the other Indios interested. The
ladies, base their complaint on the fact
that none but a favored few met the
Duchess of Veragua. No one of the
other commissioners were presented. it is
alleged, and it is said Mrs. Logan took
it upon herself to entertain the guests.'
The real trouble in the board of lady
managers, however, dates back to the
days of Phoebe Cousins. The faction
that supported her is growing largely,
and is uot slow in declaring that certain
members of the Ixiard are doing all the
work, while others are taking all the
honor.
The first concert by the Exopsition or
chestra of 114 pieces was given this
afternoon in Music hall. Paderewski
wsb present, and performed on iiis fa
vorite piano, in spite of the objections of
piano exhibitors. The concert was de
layed about fifteen minutes owing to the
action of the council of the administra
tion in closin the doors until the
piano controversy had lieen settled. The
crowd in attendance was small but en
thusiastic, the opening number by
Thomas' orchestra, an* overture, “Con
secrat ion of the House.'' by Becthovan,
being 1 avlly applauded. I’rder'wski
was given an enthusiastic reception. He
played two pieces, a concerto in A mi
nor, by himself, and a nocturne by
Chopin. Both were well receiv.d. The
concerts will be continued from day to
day. It may l>e stall'd in connection
with the decision of the council of ad
ministration in the piano imbroglio that
none of the pianos received in the mau
ufaeturer’s hall to be placed on exhibition
have been unpacked. Paderewski’s
piano is of a make that is not represented
in tile manufacturer’s ball, and piirtio ex
hibitors raised a great row with the mu
sic committee because of th ■ fact.
Chicago, May 2.—Bright sunshine and
a clear sky made the big white World’s
Fair buildings attractive to look upon
this morning. When the gates were
opened a thin stream of visitors passed
•through which swelled to a steady cur
rent of humanity as the forenoon wore
on. Early comers were considerably
jostled and pushed around _J>y men re
moving the debris and other evidences
of yesterday’s opening. The roads were
a sea of mud. stirred up by the feet of
thousands who gathered yesterday. Di
rector Burnham says the roadways will
be asphalted within a week. Then in
stead of clinging mud there will be a
smooth even surface which will turn
the water into the sewers and with it
wfiatever mud may accumulate. The es
timated attendance yesterday, paid and
free, was about three hundred thousand.
Thomas Palmer, president of the
World's Columbian Commission, and ex-
United States senator from Michigan,
gave an elaborate banquet to Don Cris
toval De La Cerda. Duke de Veragua, at
the Auditorium Hotel, where the de
scendant of Columbus is staying. Two
hundred and fifty guests were present.
The ticket sellers ami takers had an
easy time of it today. The paid admis
sions to the grounds were 15,000.

HAINES WILL HANG.
The Governor Will Not Ketplto Him Any
More.
Columbia. S. C., May 2.—(Special.)—
There uow seems to bo no room for doubt
of the guilt of Wade Haines, the young
negro convicted of murdering Miss Flor
ence Hornsby of this county, and who
; was several times respited by Gov. Till
man. in the belief that he was innocent.,
The governor today announced that he
would no longer delay the execution,
i which will take place hero next Friday.
This case has excited widespread inter
est and there is hardly a man in Colum
bia who has boon of the opinion that the
boy is guilty. For several months detec
tive MeMnnnus of Charleston, has been
’ working on the case and his report sub
‘ mitted to the Governor states there is
■ no truth in the statement of one Lazn-
• rus Field who made affidavit that an old
negro on his death bed had told him
that ho had found the bloody clothes of
a white man who committed the crime
1 of which Haines was charged and that
• all his investigation tended to disprove
every point made to establish Haines'
innocence. In announcing his decision
today Gov. Tillman stated he had given
’ the case more patient investigation and
careful thought..than in any he had had
- i before him. “If he is innocent, as many
, I believe, he is the victim of the strongest
( circumstantial evidence that has ever
• been brought to mj' attention.”

et was given something of a turn, as
lour vases were disposed of ami a
number of others were started happy
on the way to either an acquittal or
conviction.
The ease of Martin Watts who killM
his brother-in-law John Gainer up in
Harrisburg several weeks ago, was post
poned until today on account of counsel
tor the defense being too unwell to ap
pear iu court and defend his client.

looked forward to with a great deal of
interest.
I he case of Mose Odwell. the negro
who is aeeuseil of having killed Police
man Parker was also piistponed until
1 hursday morning. Mose has been in
dieted by the grand jury of this crime,
and as there is quite' a conflicting opin

the general public will take an unusual
. interest in his trial.
Mose still stoutly denies having killed
Policeman Parker and seems quite con
fident that he can establish his inno
