EXPOSITION HALF OVril.
It Ha So Far lleen Great Hticresa In
l: er) thing Except Monsjr.
Chicaoo, Aug. S -With the closing of
tbe gate Monday the first half of the Col
umbian Exposition passed into history. The
number of paid admissions . during the
month was 2,759 and the largest number
of paid admissions was registered July 4,
when 233.373 people deposited the
admission fee with the ticket sellers. The
smnllest number was last Snnday, when
only 18.A37 paid admissions were recorded.
1 he paid attendance for May was 1,850.-
037, while that of June more than doubled
this figure, reaching a total of 2,675,113.
The officials of the Fair are greatly
pleased with the artistic success of the
Exposition, but this cannot be said of the
financial end of th enterprise. The at
tendance baa failed to reach the mark it
was expected to attain during the first half
of the Fair, and especially during the
month of July. For this th railroads are
in the main held responsible, and the offi
cials do no hesitate to criticize their mean
nets and stubbornness in refusing to make a
one-fare round-trip at tbe beginning of the
Fair. The present hard times have had
much to do with th attendance, but the
management thiuks the people would have
attended largely had the railroad fares
been reduced.
There must necessarily be a large atten
dance during the remaining period of the
Fair if tbe management expects to pay its
debt and this is all they now hope to do.
It is a foregone conclusion that the stock
holders of tbe Fair will get nothing on
their investment, nor will their subscrip
tions be returned, as the money for which
tbe Exposition is legally liable amounts to
so much that it will take a tremendous
daily average of paid admlssious to ease
the obligation.
Prwiaeut Higinbotham is as hopeful as
any of the officials In the matter of finance.
He says, "I have only one fault to find
with tbe first half of tbe Exposition. The
attendance has not been what it ought to
have been. In all other respects the Ex
position bos been a success, as no one
can reasonably deny, but in that respect
the first half is by uo means the better
half. I believe that the attendance from
now on will steadily increase. I believe
that the admissions this week will exceed
those of last. There have been about 6,-,
500,000 admissions. Certainly mora than
that many will be registered during tbe
remainder of the Fair and the total attend
ance will more than double those figure.
The latter half of the Fair will surprise
us as much with a larg attendance as the
first half ha disappointed us with bad."
The retrenchment policy will be renew
ed at once with increased vigor. One of
the first effects of economy is felt In tbe
elimination of one '-special" night per
week. Heretofore Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday were designated a "special"
nights. Hereafter "special" nights will
be confined to Wednesdays and Saturdays.
There will be no music at night except
upon those days and the hours for the
concert have been changed so as to divide
the music equally between the morning
and afternoon. The free orchestral eon
certs will be given as usual, when the
orchestra is not engaged in rehearsing for
an afternoon programme, at least for the
present. Tbe new arrangement will work
a saving of a few hundred dollars daily.
Edison Mareastlu.
Oraxoe, N. J., Aug. 3. The shut down

phonograph works have, been shut down
because we have nearly completed all tbe
orders on hand and the proprietor tberof,

into a national lunatic asylum, decided to
wait until ths wave subsided."

Eii Coachiiig Accident'
The Veteran of '.so had inst finish
ed relating several exciting stories of
coaching in the old days in the west,
ami looneri around triumphantly.
'Yaas," approved a youth in white
flannels, who sat on the piazza near
mm, as ine veteran caught his eye.
"Mebbe you know somethin' about
it ?" smilinely suggested the old man
i pan uniting way.
"Yaas," replied the youth, "I do
awst yean i nad a very exciting ex
newience with a coarh. T.wt veah
was leapyeah, ye know, and there
was a giti at Newport who waited for
an Opportunity to nrnnose. anil shp
was so strwong-minded that we fellows
nevan gave her a chance, because we
knew we'd have to sav vms if she ev.ih
awsked us. Well, thev had a coach
ing party one day and I was invited,
but at the lawst moment 1 fnnnrl I
aw had to escort Miss Newton, the
stwong minded damsel, and it so af
fected me that I had a sunstwole nnd
couldn't eo. So thev took Chnllv
Bludd in my place, and Cholly came
uaca- encaccti. 1 cried lor mv that
night over my narrow escape."
"Humph!" interrupted the veteran,
"there's nothin in that."
" aas. there was." continued the
youth; "that wide was one of the
worst I evah failed to take in my life.
It was a wegulah coaching accident,
and nearly bwoke mv heart. Chnllv
mawied the girl in June, and in July
sne naa an old uncle die who left her
a million and a half. So. von see. we
have just as bad accidents nowadays,"
nc acidcd, triumphantly, "as they evah
had in '49." Harper's Bazar.

From the Detroit Free Tress.
He had wandered about into dozens
of stores hopelessly trying to match a
piece of goods for his wife. At last
he quit and leaned up against a post
with the sample in his hand.
"Whet's the matter ?" asked a pass
ing friend. "Sick ?"
" i es. I guess 1 11 have to go to
heaven, he replied, sticking the sam
pie out aimlessly toward the inquirer.
"What do you mean ?"
"Well, they say matches are made
in heaven, and I guess they re right.
I'll swear they're not made anywhere
around here."
