Two Ht'NDHED and seventy-four thousand, nluo hundred and seventeen was the *i»e of the crowd at the World's Fair Tuesday, and the whole crowd was out to t>olelvate. The na­ tives of Midway Plainnuee thought the entire population of the United States had broken loose, for nearly all the crowd visited the cosmopolitan street, and as a consequence the jam was ter­ rific. The display of fireworks at night was the most elaborate ever given in America certainly, and ^piplpably equalled any in the world. THE "Old Homestead," which has begun its World's Fair engagement at McVicker's Chicago Theater, needs no laudation at this late day. It is an idyl of homely virtues of distinctively American type and will live in the an­ nals of the national drama after its originator has mouldered into dust. The play and the principal performer has a charm that defies complete analy­ sis but, beyond doubt, all classes and conditions are captured by it and it can be witnessed again and again with­ out surfeit. The advance orders for seats was tremendous and everything indicates a phenomenally suoeessful season for this sterling drama of real life. A RECKLESS young fellow standing on State street, opposite Siegel, Cooper & Co.'s store, Chicago, at 8 p. m. Tues­ day, hurled a giant firecracker into a street car. As it was about to alight among the passengers a gentleman with quick presence of mind sprang up, caught the firecracker and instantly returned it in the direction of the thrower. It exploded as it struck his breast. His immaculate white vert, collar, and necktie and shirt boeom 'were burnt, his face blackened, and blood began to trickle from a cut j-c, his chin. HZB friends excitedly helped him into a cab and drove off "down the Btreet. He refused to give his name, and the policeman who reached the spot a moment after the accident lacon­ ically remarked: "I guess he has been punished enough." JOE BIRD, a negro, was shot at Wil- burton, I. T., Friday by the Choctaw authorities. When all was ready for the final scene the executioners placed him in position. A circle about three inches m diameter was painted in white immediately over his heart. The Sheriff with a rifle stood fifteen paces away. He took an unerring aim and as ho fired the negro murderer fell backwards dead. The Choc taws hold­ ing arms gave utterance to a most un­ earthly v"!l and the trngic seeifb was over. Bird's crime was the brutal murder of his wife. A few weeks ago he brained his mother-in-law, for which he received 100 lashes. For this his wife left him and he called her from her house and shot her. Four Indians will be shot at the same place next Fri­ day and five the Friday following.

A DISPATCH from Tripoli now estab­ lishes the fact that the disaster to the Victoria was not due to a oollapse of her machinery, but arose from an er­ ror of judgment in ordering the ma­ neuver of changing columns when the vessels were too near together, the mis­ take apparently lying with Vioe Ad- ijniral Tryon. The British cruisers, Edger and Phaeton, belonging to the British Mediteranean squad­ ron, have arrived at Malta,, having on board the surviving of­ ficers and crew of the battleship Victoria. Large crowds gathered everywhere along the water front, awaiting their coming into port. As soon as the two cruisers were reported off the port hundreds of small boats, conveying relatives and friends of the survivors, and a number of relatives of those who had lost their lives, put out­ side the harbor to meet the warships. The latter came into port slowly, thus allowing the small boats to keep up with them without much difficulty. The survivors crawled along the bul­ warks of the cruisers ©ailing to their friends in the small boats ana answer­ ing as fully as possible the hundred^ of questions put to them by everybody witbin hailing distance. As the war­ ships slowly steamed to their anchpr- age cheers upon cheers broke from the crowds on the shore, and they were taken up and re-echoed by those on the cruisers. Business was partially sus­ pended in the city, everybody being in­ tensely anxious to see the men who had escaped, and to learn from them, if pos­ sible, everything concerning the fright­ ful disaster. GEN. BDIMNITA IN GENERAL A LETTER is published by a Montreal paper, stating that near Schreiber, a Small tbwn at the head of Lake Supe­ rior, June 20, twenty Finlpnders work­ ing on the Canadian Pacific railway were killed by a landslide. HELD for nearly four months iq. an equatorial doldrum, or dead sea calm, until its provisions were exhausted and its crew on the verge of starvation; was the terrible experience of the American 6hip Edward O'Brien, which had long ago been given up for lost. The ship is owned partly in Philadel­ phia, and the news of its safety has just reached its owner. The ship left Victoria, B. C., last December, and made a ftiie run down the Pacific cOAst and around the Horn, but. when near the equator it was caught in one of the dreaded qalms that prevail in that latitude." For three months- it re­ mained within a distance Of half a mile from where it first struck the oalm, and during that time there was not wind enough to fill even the lightest of its sails. Finally a wind oame along and carried the ship to safety. But the provisions were exhausted, and the arrival of the O'Brien saved the crew from a terrible death. R. G.

How­ ever this may be, the veterans, of the State of New York who took part In tho battle of Gettysburg have long been looking forward to the thirtieth anniversary of the battle with great anticipations. Saturday, Sunday and Monday wm a great occasion to theses veterans, for it witnessed the unveiling of a magnificent statue erected by the State of New York to the memory of its citizens who participated battle. Through «a g the generosity of the Empire State each of the organ­ izations partici­ pating has its monument on the historic field. Be­ sides these there has been erected in the battle- scarred cemetery, which saw the death of so many brave men during the three days of the battle, a splen­ did shaft for the State at large.

In order that as many suvivors as possible might be present, the State provided free transportation to all such from their homes to the battlefield and return, and. the veterans who availed themselves of this transportation numbered over 7,000.; Many Of them brought wives, daughters or sons, and with the veterans from other States and the guests of veterans over 10,000 people were there. Every hotel was packed to the roof, and every private house was transformed into a hotel annex.

The De­ partment of Agriculture is sending out circulars broadcast inquiring anout them. Its object is to determine ac­ curately the limits of the areas occu- fiied by the insects. There are twenty-wo known "broods" of them, which turn up in different years in various sections of the country. Their respect­ ive' territories overlap to some extent. Each brood, however, comes out of the ground, only once in seventeen years. The intervale are absolutely regular.

Princess May, on the other hand, has spent her whole life in quiet White Lodge at Richmond. Until two years ago, when she visited the Queen at Balmoral, she had never been away from bbmo alone. She had seen but little more of tho world than a clergy­ man's daughter, and her days had been filled with domestic duties, visiting the sick and poor of the neighborhood and in the company of hter three younger brothers, who are said to adore her.

"Wen," said the other, "do you want it as a reward?" wOh, I did not find one,* returned the benevolent old man, "but it struck me that in a big place like New York there must be a large quantity of money lost, and upon inquiry I find you are the thirty-first man who lost a $5 note this very morning."
