A bold attempt at robbery was made about morning on the east ap- proach to the motor bridge. C. W. Martz, Martin Solon and Edward Quigley, three men employed on the new bridge and living | AL2i4S Avenue D, had been spending the evening in Omaha, and missing the were walking back home. Just as they left | the bridge and arrived at the pl where the motor track turns they were accosted by | three ney who demanded their monc The th velers refused to give up their | cash, Quigley let his right hand fly in the direction of one | of the highwaymen's face. The | blow landed where it would do the most wood, but Quigley did no more acts of pugil- ism, for two of the highwaymen came at him armed with knives and brass knuckles, He received two blows from the brass knuckles, one just above the rigl ¢ eye and the other on the k of the head. The blows almost stunned him, but not so thoroughly that he could not 1ift up his heels with considerablo rapidity in stretching the distance between him and the highwaymen. Martz also had an encounter with the men, and yesterday he hod an car that resembled a _large water pitcher, both in size and in shape. Solon | was the only one who camo out of the fray uninjured, and that fact is to be attributed 1more to his superior sprinting qualities than | to his bravery. Immediately after the affair took place the men came up town and telephon to the po- lice. The Omaha officials were also notified and in a very short time two colored men, who gave their names as Windsor Coleman | and John Reddy, were landed in the Omaho Auil. They were brought to this side of the river cariy in the morning.

The thrée vietims say that Reddy and Coleman are without doubt two | of their assailants, for the moon was shining brightly when the affair took place. and they were able to recognize them.

Set that down as a New York opinion, launched forth from a mind tainted with something of envy. Don't be- lieve it entirely baseless, for there isa shght element of truth in what Mayor Gilroy has said. Chicago has some thieves and Chicago's hospitality to fair visitors, ex- cepting Grover Cleveland and Vera- zua, hasn't been noticeably oppressive. Hotels continue to charge all they can get, and at Jackson park there are many cases of exorbitant assessment upon sightseers, No- body pretends to deny that there has been much extortion. It ot bo wholly checked, if strong efforts have been made to check it. Still it is not as bad as it was dur- ing the early portion of this month, As I have asserted before, there is not the faint- est reason why a cautious visitor should suffer ex on. All he needs to do is to ex- ercise ordinary discrimination and he may spend the whole summer av the fair without feeling that he has been robbed. The impression seems to have gone abroad that the reverse is the conaition here—that a visitor cannot escape the clutches of the greedy boniface and the swindling conces- i As a natural sequence the Chicago correspondents, many of whoni and perhaps most of them, have endeavored to show up the state of affairs in the truthfui light are coming 1 for violent abuse from the Chicago pres The attitudo taken by n of the local newspapers toward the foreign corre spondents is that they should not send a line of news to their journals which does not con- tain exclusively words of praise for this wonderful exposition. The idea seems to be that all the objectionable features incident to an enterprise so magmficent should be totally suppressed. The truth about this is the local newspapers have from time to time allowed the actual state of things to be shown up_through their columns. They do not concede to outside newspapers the same privilege. but assail the correspondents who would assume this prerogative in an un- merciful mauner. Need of Double Sets of Eyes, If we must accept the statement from the sketchy pencil of Murat Halsteaa, in effect that you can’t see what there is of thesights in six weeks, how long will it take to com- prehend the exposition's wonders when all is complete! 1Itis noeasy question. The man who can go to his town after spending the whole term here and say. ve seen absolutely everything will be worth preserving for exhibition at the next universal exposition. indeed. When it is contemplated th takes three days to look through buildings that are complef unfinished—you can imagine just how much there is to see. When‘they are complete a week will not be time ‘enough. Two hours in the Penusylvania building tells you more history than a deuse volume. Its walls are covered with interesting records of the ys before freedom was conceived.

It is surprising, however, that few have their gov- ernment’ buildings Germany, Sweden, Great Britain, France and Japan have the only thoroughly furmshed pavilions.
