AFTER THOMAS’ SCALP.
The Committee on World’s Fair
Music Want Him Ousted.
GATES OPEN NEXT SUNDAY.
Upon an Opinion Kentlered h; llm Roard'i
Attorney, Word’* Fair torn ml*,
•loner* I>erMo to Open tha
Gate* Sunday, May 21.
CniCAOO, May 10—The report of the
committee on tnnsic recommending the
removal of Theodore Thomas from the
position of musical director of the fair,
was taken up for consideration by the
national commission. General J. \V.
THE MIDWAY PI.AISANCE PHOTOGRAPHER.
St. Clair of West Virginia, spoke against
tho adoption of the report. He said if
Mr. Thomas was removed it would re-
sult in wrecking tho music department
mnl the loss to the exposition of tho
greatest orchestra on earth.
Mr. Lannon of Utah, replied to Gen
eral St. Clair. Ho asked the commis
sion to act npon the report quickly, and
instruct tho director general to remove
Mr. Thomas. Mr. Lannon took no stock
in the assertion that Mr. Thomas’ dis
missal would wreck the music depart
ment. Ho thought another good di
rector and orchestra could be secured
at once.
Mr. Glondenning of Arkansas also
spoke in favor of the adoption of the
report.
Commissioner Ryan of North Dakota
denounced the attempt to deprive the
commission of the authority vested in
it by congress, and paid his respects to
Theodore Thomas in the following lau-
man is corrupt, and he has
taken this action through corrupt mo
tives. I an* m favor of wiping him ont
of this exposition, and tho national
commission has the power to do it. If
the commission refuses to assert its su
preme authority in this music matter it
countenances bribery and corruption.”
A motion to lay the report tempora
rily on the table was voted down, but
Chairman Lannan fearing the defeat of
his report rose to ask that it lie on the
table until there was an assurance of a
qnorum. His motion was unanimously
concurred in.
The sentiment of the commission
seemed to be in favor of deferring judg
ment against Theodore Thomas until
articles of peace could be drawn up by
the council of administration.
Com miaul oner* Want a Rest.
The commissioners talked tediously
and differed widely as to the propriety
of taking a recess until May 31 on ac
count of the absence of so many mem
bers and the desire of somo present to
return to their homes for a conple of
weeks.
Commissioner Bnrton, of Kansas,
offered a resolution which was adopted
by a majority vote, although there was
no quorum, hat when the commission
adjourns it take a recess until noon May
31; that in the meantime all members
who can remain do so to attend the
commission work, and that the commis
sioners who have not attended this ses
sion of the commission be urgently re
quested to meet May 81 with that body.
To Open Sunday.
The local directors of the World’s
Fair have determined to open the expo
sition on Sundays, beginning May 21.
The vote stood 27 to 7 in favor of Sun
day opening. Under the resolution Mi l-
way Plaisance will also be thrown o\h*u.
Mr. Edwin Walker, attorney for the
board, submitted an opinion on the
question, and on the strength of this
opinion the board acted. No provision
was made for the return of any part of
the |2,500,000 given to the fair under
that act of congress; bnt there was a
vague, tentative talk of refunding the
money somehow, some time—in the
uncertain future.
Briefly, Mr. Walker decided that the
exposition was one thing and the expo
sition grounds a distinct and separ; t*
thing. On this the local directory
stands accordingly. Unless the national
commission acts vigorously to prevent
it Jackson park will be open on every
Sunday, the exposition buildings re
maining closed.
The new Memorial Art institute on
lake front is now open to the public.
Great crowds of people visited the im
posing structure.
The appointment of the Earl of Aber
deen as governor general of Canada will
not interfere with his work in connec
tion with the World’s Fair. The earl
and countees will address a large meet
ing in Chicago on May 16 and will sail
for Europe on the 18th, assuming their
duties in Canada in August. Meanwhile
the chief justice of Canada will perform
the dntiee of governor general.
N«w*p«p«r Men Invited.
’ Posters printed in five different lan
guages will be scattered about Jackson
park in a few days, inviting the news
paper men of the world to visit the
press headquarters in The Times build
ing. A liberal amount of space has
been set aside for newspaper men, and
a large salt of rooms has been splendid
ly famished for their convenience.
Surprises are always in order at the
World's Fair grounds, bnt the climax
ot all will have been reached when the
yisitor is permitted to stand on the roof
if Manufacturers’ building to behold a
spectacls such as man never before
looked npon, and to walk around the
roof at its edge, a distance only a little
less than a mile. Around the edge of
this roof has been constructed a prom
enade 8 feet wide and 4,800 feet long.
The estimated capacity of the promen
ade is from 10,0(R» to 12,000.
• The four great search lights which
are to be mounted on Manufacturers*
building, will be at the four corners;
within two feet of the promenade. One
of these lights will have 200,000,000 can
dle power, and its rays will penetrate
50 miles. Access to the roof will be had
by four elevators.
IIow the Attendance Hold* Ur-*
The attendance at the Columbian ex
position the first two weeks is shown in
the following table:
Mayl 120,200 May 8 21,701
May 2 14,282 May 9 17.U-J
May 3 116.459 Mav 10... . 18 198
Mav 4 20.466 May 11 23.261
May5 11,994 May 12 30,132
May C 17,149
The attendance at the centennial was
as follows:
May 10 (open- May 16 7,056
ingday).. 76,172 May 17 12.117
May 11 14,722 Mav 18 11.054
May 12 10,252 May 19 10,100
May 13 11,658 Mav 20 12,403
Mhv 15 10.986 May 22 20
By this it will bo seen that the total
attendance at the World’s Fair during 1
the first 11 days is nearly 219,000 greater l
than at the centennial during the col- I
responding period.
From the Department of Justice.
Washington, May 16.—Inquiry at
the department of justice as to the de
cision of the board of directors to open
the World’s Fair grounds on Sunday
develops a feeling favorable to it. it
was pointed ont that the law provides
that the government exhibits only shall
be closed on Sunday. The congressional
appropriation of $2,500,000 was condi
tioned that the exposition shall be closed
on the first day of the week, but where
is it made compulsory to close the
grounds?
Attorney General Olney will not ex
press an opinion on the subject, as it
will probably come to him for judicial
determination, bnt prominent officials in
tho department of justice do not hesi
tate to appr- ve the action already taken
as being within the law, bnt express
the hope that means may be fonnd to
throw open the whole exposition on
Sunday.
Assistant Secretary Curtis, of the
treasury department, who has charge of
World’s Fair matters as far as they af
fect the treasury department, said that
he had no official information of the
purpose of the board of directors of the
World’s Fair to open the grounds of the
fair on Sunday, May 31. Until the snl»-
iect came to him in an official manner
he declined to express any opinion as to
what action, if any, the treasury offi
cials might feel called upon to taae in
regard to the undelivered balanco of
souvenir coin.

The Secret of Success for the Monopoly Oppressed Farmer
IS TO PLANT ORCHARDS. California found not her greatest wealth in
her gold mines, but in her vineyards and orchards. Georgia and the South can
excel the dry, hot climate of California in the production of fine fruits ; hut to do
o we must quit planting cheap, worthless brush, and plant none but southern
grown trees procured direct from the Cherokee Nursery. The people of Ware and
urrounding counties cannot afford to waste money buying ^northern grown trees.
