Attractions 3 present by a visit to “gay Paree,” where the nimble dancers with fiying feet drive away care. Probably the best part of the whole car- nival is Jarbour’s Oriental Carnival, Cir- cus and Menagerie. This troupe was here during the Midwinter Fair and is still remembered by the people who visited the White City. The troupe is composed of people of several nationalities and con- tains a number of really clever acrobats, bareback riders and dancers. The whirl- ing and howling dervishes created consid- erable amusement in the exhibition last night. This circus has several unique fea- tures which ordinary circuses do not have, The appearances and performing of the people of the different nations give an idea of the customs of the various eoun- tries from which they come. This gives an educational value to the show. Besides the various entertainments there are a number of fortune-tellers and soothsayers, who are there to tell curious people about the past, present and future. There are also on hand all the super- numerarfes that usually accompany a carnival. There are also the peanut butch- ers, the soda and lemonade peddlers and 0 - +— - —— e SCENES AT THE OPENING OF THE WOODMEN'S STR?ET CARNIVAL. e - & the indispensable cloewns—the never-fail- irg delight of4the’ small boys. In fact, there is a whole band of clowns. The ccuntry band, which created such amuse- ment in the parade with its peculiar cos- tumes and the still more peculiar discords and unearthly sounds issuing from its instruments, was still funnier inside the carnival gates. The band took its stand in front of one of the theaters and dealt out “harmonies” to the people until mid- night. The efforts of these “musicians’” were appreciated,” put hardly for the pleasing music they produced. OCTOBER 7, 1902. | Drill Teams in Uniform Make a Fine Showing During the Procession - P e . All the attractions are as yet not in place, but will probably be so by to-night. The prismatic fountain, which is intended to be one of the features of the carnival, was hardly in good working order. This fountain, when it i{s thoroughly in readi- ness, will hurl multi-colored water high into the air. To-day is set apart as Elks’ day, and this afternoon there will be a grand con- cert, and to-night, besides a grand con- cert, there will be a prismatic fountain display. The programme for the first week, be- sides the concerts, which will be given every afternoon and evening, is as fol- lows: ‘Wednesday—Woodmen day. In the evening the coronation of the queen will take place and several crack drill teams of the Woodmen will give exhibitions. Thursday_The Ancient Order of United Workmen has been invited to attend. There will be free vaudeville exhibitions both in the afternoon and evening. Friday—Knights of Honor day. In the afternoon there will-be another free vaudeville hibition. Saturday-—Children's day,. Tie children from the variots nublic institutions and the public school children will be nvited to attend on this day. There will be a regular children’s festi- val, and for the enjoyment of the little ones the' vaudeville exhibition will be repeated. During the second week the people of the bay countles, the Red Men and For- esters, the Eagles, the Native Sons and Native Daughters and the trades unions all have days set apart in their honor. The carnival will be brought to a close in a veritable blaze of glory Saturday night, October 18, with exhibition drills of the Woodmen teams and -entertainments by all the various theaters and sideshows tiat crowd the carnival ground. L e e e e e e e e i i OUTLINES NEE OF UNIVERITY NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—In his annual re- port isued to-day President Nicholas Mur- ray Butler of Columbia University says the institution is without adequate grounds and buildings and without suffi- cient income to care properly for the work that has already been undertaken. The president reports the value of the property of the university to be $21,312,445. “Men in middle life,” says the report, “who have devoted years to the success- ful pursuit of investigation and to teach- ing In their chosen fields are giving skilled service to the university for smaller compensation than is often paid to an experienced clerk.” To pay debts, to buy needed lands, to build needed bulldings and for general purposes President Butler says Columbia University needs $10,000,000. The present general debt of the uni- versity is nearly $3,000,000 and the annual interest payment to be met is about $100,- 000. On the topic of length of college course President Butler says there is no valid reason why, the college course ghould be of one uniform length for all classes of students. e Ask Withdrawal of Education Bill. LONDON, Oct. 6.—The national council® of Evangelical Free Churches has sent an identical letter to Premier Balfour, all the members of the House of Commons and all the members of the House of Lords, appealing for the withdrawal of the Gov- ernment education bill. At the same time the council has issued. a manifesto to non-conformists, offering to enroll the names of all those who are willing to re- fuse to pay the school rates. % e To Cure a Cold in One Day Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The students, bent on committing their usual pranks incident to the fall fes- tivitles, started from the East Side this forenoon, creating a din as they marched through the streets. At the Medico- Chirurgical College on the East Side dozens of windows were smashed and stu- dents were roughly handled. ‘When the police arrived in respohse to the janitor's riot call the'students had departed for the Kansas City - Medical College, on the West Side. There similar scenes were enacted and the work of the students was completed before the police caught up with them. A Half a dosen students were hurt, but none setiously.

BITTER RIVALRY BETWEEN UNIONS CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—The conflict between the Garment, Workers of America and the Special Order of Clothing Makers threat- ens to tie up forty-two shops before noon to-morrow. Cutters in the shop of E. L. Strauss & Co., who are affiliated with the Garment ‘Workers' Union, brought the quarrel to an issue to-day by refusing to cut for members of the rival organizations. This forced the shop to close and 600 kindred employes were thrown out of work. Later in the day all the other firms were notified that they would have to meet the same situation to-morrow un- less the Special Order men left their places and joined the Garment Workers' Union. The national presidents of both organizations are in Chicago directing their forces. A Special Order Union meeting was held this afternoon at which the women belonging to the organization agreed to join the fight. To-night two more meet- ings were held and at each similar pledges were given, more than 3000 men, women and girls agreeing to enter the contest. S —— Hearst Accepts the Nomination. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.— In a speech to- day accepting the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Eleventh District, Willam Randolph Hearst announced himself as in favor of public ownership cf certain public utilities, specifying as A natural beginning, railroads and tele- graphs. -~ Existing condi‘ions, he de- clared, made it advisable for the Gov- ernment to take possession of and man- ege the anthracite coal mines for the people’s benefit.

Giovanini, F. T. Phelps, his chief of staff, and a num- ber of aids, after whi¢h came the per- formers and animals of the side shows. Then came a platoon of police under the command of Sergeant Perrin, all Neigh- bors of Woodcraft, preceded by the standard-bearer of Golden Gate Camp, R. A. A. Summers, carrying a large American silk flag. After these came Hyman's band and the drill team of Golden Gate Camp in natty uniform of green, each carrying a bright shining ax. and then several hundred members of the camp, the largest in the city, each car- Iying a small American flag. This part of the division was preceded by a number | ©f ladies of Golden Gate Camp of the Women of Woodcraft in carriages, dec- orated with flags and evergreens. Next came a carriage drawn by four horses in | which rode Mayor Schmitz, a member of Golden Gate Camp, Heal Advisor J. H. Foley of Los Angeles and Organizer W. L. Temple of Oakland. MAYOR SWINGS HIS AX. The Mayor carried a gilt ax, decorated with the colors of the order. This he waved above his head as the people on the street recognized him. Before the procession came back on the counter- march the Mayor was furced to retire, as he was due at 8 o’clock at the Alham- bra, but he promised to present himself | at the fair grounds as soon as he could leave the meeting, to address the Neigh- bors. Next came an old-fashioned mud- bespattered express wagon, filled with | straw and laden down with small boys. | This was hauled by a very thin horse, whose ‘“slats” almost rattled as he jog- | Fed along at 3 slow pace, being urged on | by an individual of the hayseed type | with flery red hair and whiskers, who cried himself hoarse telling what could be found in the country store. Following ilie wagon were a dozen Women of Woodcraft, attired in white dresses and wearing red hats and carrying axes. The ladies are those who are to attend to the country store. They were followed by members of Redwood Circle, Women of Woodcraft, in automobiles, carriages and carryalls, all wearing white dresses and the vehicles being decorated, with the colors of the order, red, white and green. Richmond Camp followed, the members carrying and waving small flags, and then Mission Camp, a number of the | members dragging a small cart having ;xpon! it a large log with an ax driven uto it. GROTESQUE FEATURES. This camp also had a large wagon, hav- ing upon it a woodchopper’s cabin. Af- ter this came the grotesque feature of the parade, the Hayseed band of California | Camp, marshaled by L. Vincent, a 250- poynd Nelighbor, dressed as Little Eva, of Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame, followed by thirty-five members of the band, each trying to play a different air at the same time and producing the most distress- ing discord imaginable. The members of the camp came next in order, followed by a large number of the members of the California Circle of the Women of Woodcraft in automobiles, carriages and wagons, each wearing a paper cape in | various colors of the order. Two small carriages covered with poppies, in which rcde members of this circle, all attired in white, followed.

Laughlin Protests Against Acts of Harriman and Associates. —_—— CHICAGO, Oct, 6.—A bill attacking the validity of the lease entered into between the Chicago and Alton Rallroad and the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company in April, 1900, by which all of the property owned by 'the former was transferred to the latter for a period of ninety-nine vears, was filed in the Circuit Court to-day | by Henry D. Laughlin, a minority stocke holder in the Chicago and Alton Raurcad Company. Laughlin declares that E. H. including George J. Gould, M. F. Shiff, J. Stillman ured a controlling Interest {.nm:nl[hce;?é:gecf and Alton Railroad Com- pany and after executing the lease caused a ‘“fictitious issue and increase of cor- poration stocks and bonds by which the holders of the majority of the stock of the Chicago and Alton Railroad greatly profited and the minority stockholders correspondingly lost.” This . process, Laughlin declares, is “vulgarly known as a squeeze.” Laughlin is now seeking to have the lease declared invalid, to have the prop- erty demised by the lease returned to the Chicago and Alton Railroad and to have an accounting taken between both com- cerns. Laughlin avers that it is reliably re- ported that a sale of the Chicago and Al- ton Raflroad is under consideration. If the sale is made, the complainant asserts, it will be to some other railway in which Harriman and his associates are for more interested than they are now in the Chi- cago and Alton Railroad Company, and will be “on such terms and for such price as will still further enrich them and im- poverish Laughlin and other minority shareholders of the company.” OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE Or' THE PACIFIC COAST Several Changes Are Made in the Postal Service and More New Pensions Granted.
