ATLANTA'S COMING FAIR
The Big Exposition Ready to Open on
Wednesday.
SURPASSED OXLY BY CHICAGO
President Cleveland Will Touch the
llutton and Start the Machinery
of the tii cnt Show - Interest
Taken by Colored People.
Atlanta, Cla., Sept. lfi. On Wednes
day President Cleveland Is to touch the
button that will start the machinery at
the great Atlanta exposition, and thus
formally open the big show to the
world. The exposition at Atlanta Is to
rank second to nothing of the kind ever
attempted before on this continent, ex
cept the Columbian fair at Chicago.
I'liiortunately for Atlanta, she Is lack
ing In one of the features which made
tile success at Chicago so pronounced.
She hus not the windy traits of charac
ter to make herself thoroughly well
known before all the world. Atlanta Is
pivpai'lnt a much better fair than the
people seem to be aware of, and one
that the managers should have talked
a great deal mote about In every way,
for the results are deserving.
in the tirst place the "Cotton States
and International exposition" will be
In Itself a novelty to the big end of
these I'nited (States from the location
of the fair In the foremost Industrial
city of Dixie. A different civilisation
Is down here from what people of the
north are accustomed to, and bunched
as It will be. that alone will constitute
a very attractive feature. Ileyoiid the
exposition of southern life and cus
toms u wonderful Interest must cluster
about the negro exhibit. The negro at
Atlanta Is to be given an opportunity
to show what progress the race has
made. The chance will not be a dis
appointment for those who have faith
that the colored man Is advancing.
Uccognition tor the Negro.
The Negro building and Its exhibit
are the work of colored hands. The
black man sought to show at Chicago
what he had done since he emerged
from slavery and barbarity, but It was
left quite appropriately for him to
make a thorough display In his own
section and encouraged by his old mas
ters. The negro has been given full
swing to demonstrate what he can do,
anil the result will be surprising. He
will have at the fair newspapers, honks
and works of act produced by colored
men. The negro as a factor in busi
ness and professional life will be in
evidence. On Nov. 11. a meet of the
colored military companies from all
over the South will be held. Nov. 12 to
15 will be given up to colored religious
congresses. At other dates other repre
sentative colored bodies will convene at
Atlanta, all showing substantial prog
ress on the part of the race.
In Its general way the Atlanta expo
sition will be much like that of Chi
cago. Where It will differ from its
larger predecessor In size of some of
tne exhibits. It will offset the disadvan
tage by the completer exhibits In many
Instances' than were seen at the Co
lumbian fair. Some of the exhibitors
have added to their Chicago displays
for the present exxsltion, and some
have made better collections. The sl'.e
of the Cotton States exposition Is a
tract of 19 acres of level land about
two mllis ftom the heart of the city.
called Piedmont park. A lake half a
mile long constitutes the central fea
ture and one of the chief attractions,
for It will be alive with craft of all
sorts for the delectation of the visitor.
Clustered about the lake will stand
the principal buildings. Learning from
the experience of the architects at Chi
cago, the managers of the Atlanta fair
have managed to get excellent results
for the ti.:iw,m that has been ex
pended on the main building, and the
spectacle Is one of grandeur and mag
nificence. Pennsylvania's Handsome Building.
The Pennsylvania building Is one of
the handsomest on the ground. It Is
of the Konian order of architecture,
with a broad portico and tall columns.
Located at one of the bsst and highest
points of the park It commands an ex
cellent view. The Pennsylvania ex
hibit will be complete, and embrace the
usual agricultural products, a display
of grasses, ferns, insects, butterflies.
similar to that at Chicago. A spare of
1 ,So'J sfpiare feet has be,.n set usldo
In one of the buildings for a display
of the products of manual work In the
state schools and penal Institutions.
Pennsylvania artists will have lull
paintings at Atlanta. Kight thousand
dollars of the ::s,0,0 appropriated by
the legislature for the exposition will
be devoted to the exhibition of women's
work. Nearly 7U0 square feet of space
has been set apart in the Women's
building for Pennsylvania. There is
to be shown the work done by Pennsyl
vania women. The display will em
brace a wonderful variety of things,
but the chief will be books and pro
ducts of industrial arts.
A department of public comfort will
help to direct strangers to such places
as may he desired, and the manage
ment give assurance that the hotels
and boarding houses will be amply able
to care for all who shall attend.
Joint Mclinlon of Blue iind Cray.
Sept. 21 Is "illue and Gray" day at
the exposition. Coming as It does, Jiint
after the Louisville encampment end
the did!ratlon of Chlckamauga an im
mense army of veterans from both con
federate and federal ranks are ex
pected to come. The exposition esti
mates an attendance on that day of
100,0(10 people. The elaborate pro
gramme that has been arranged Is cal
culated to attract the largest Joint re
union of the veterans cf the two armies
that has ever been held.
A date of Interest to Pennsylvanians
h Nov. 14 Pennsylvania day. The
Plttsburg Press cadets will be the
guests on that day of the Hibernian
Kifles, a crack military organization of
Atlanta. And will be reviewed, along
with other organizations, by Governor
HasWngs In front of the Pennsylvania
tate building on the exposition
grounds. On the same day the Fifth
United States Infantry, located at Fort
ddepherson. near Atlanta, will give a
complimentary Rpeclal dress parade.
Atlanta Is raid to be In better shape
for Mie opening on time than any other
great exposition that has preceded,
BASE BALL VS. BAPTISM.
Church Ceremony Postponed to Permit a
, On mo to He Played. '
Jamesburg, Kan., Sept. 16. 'Squire
Hazen today rode around among the
parishioners of the Baptist church,
wildly exclaiming "Our preacher has
old out to the flesh and the devil."
He caused a great stir, a the village
was full of country people.
Base ball was the cause of his ex
cited condition. Jamenburg's greatest
pride Is a team that takes the pennant
of the county this year. Rev. Mr. Wll
klns, the pastor of the church men
tioned, has been holding a revival
meeting lately, and among the other
convertlons he made were five members
of the base ball nine. Today was the
day set for the general baptising of
'the converts, but the base bull team
had to play the Colwich nine at the
very hour the baptizing was to take
place. The manager uf the Jamcshurg
nine requested the minister to post
pone the baptizing until tomorrow, so
as to allow them to play Colwich, and
the request was grunted.
When ''Squire llasen heard that the
bapll'.ing In his church was postponed
for a ball game he became furious, and
rode Into town shouting the above ex
clamution at the top of his voice.

The Chain of livldcnce Continues to
lighten About Durant - Prisoner's He
inurkable Nerve.
San Francisco, Sept. Id. When court
opened in the Durant case this morn
ing. Miss Laniguti, a student of the
normal school, was called to the stand,
and testitled that shortly after H o'clock
on the afternoon of April 3 she saw
i.MIss 1-unxmt and Theodore Durant
side by side on the dummy of a Powell
street cur. She Idetitilied n black dress
and hut produced as the ones worn by
i.Miss La moot at the time. On cross
examination she said she did not see
Duruut's picture in the paper, but
Id'htilicd him at the city hall. At that
time no effort was made to mix Durant
up with the other persons.
i.lrs. Alary Vogel. who lives opposite
the school house, identified Durant as
a man she had seen waiting outside
before the class to which Miss Lntnout
belonged was dismissed that after
noon. She paid particular attention
to him, as she had considerable money
In the house, and his suspicious ac
tions led her to believe that he was a
burglar. She saw him meet the young
lady, and watched them get on the
car together. .Mrs. Vogel's testimony
corroborated that of Miss Kdwards,
another of the school girl witnesses.
Today when asked to point htm out she
walked to within a few feet of Durant
and said Impressively:
"That Is the man." Durant was
unmoved during the scene, but the
weight of the testimony Introduced to- j
day. as a whole, told on his splendid j
nerve. i
The prosecution expects to finish its
direct case this week.

FOR THE FREEDOM OF CUBA
There Is Yet Hope fur the Island of
Discontent.
THE UNITED STATES MAY ACT
Probability That Cleveland Will Inter
vene to Stop the Itevastation of the
Islund-'lho Matter to lie
l.uid He fore Congress.
Washington. Sept. 16. There Is hope
for Cuba. Trustworthy Information
received here Indicates a settled pur
Kse on the tart of the American ad
ministration to Intervene 'between the
patriots uud their oppressors. Thls.ln
terviliit'lon may take the form of In
ternational action, following the piece
dent set by President Uratit In ls7i, or
it may be apioachcd more directly by
taking advantage of the first adequate
Instance of Injury to or imprisonment
of an American citizen In Cuba.
In this connection it is Important tn
know that Spain Was broiignt to pay
ment of the Mora claim only by the
pi t pai at ions which this government
had made to occupy the port of Havana
with American warships. That the ad
ministration had decided upon such an
extreme measure was some time ago
published In the newspapers, it was
then (Killed. Put It Is true that the oc
cupation of the port of Havana had
been decided on by the president uud
his cabinet. If Spain had not paid t lie
money war between the I'nited Slates
and Spain, with liidepeintenee for Cuba,
might easily have followed. The Wash
ington government had this contingen
cy In view when It made tile demand.
The Cuban insurgents do not ask for
recognition as belligerents. Obviously
they do not care for such recognition.
It would give them only moral support,
and of this I hey already have enough.
Dr. Rodriguex and other Cuban patri
ots think It would be unwise on the
part of this government to recognize
the belligerent rights of the Insur
gents. Recognition Mot Wanted.
Dr. Rodriguez ?ays not a single prac
tical point Is to be gained thereby. It
merely puts the comnntants on an
equality. On the other hand, It might
easily operate to the disadvantage of
the insurgents. ' It confers the right of
search upon the high seas by vessels of
both parties, and. as is well known, the
Cubans have no vessels. It would
greatly Increase the chance of seizure
of arms and munition intended for the
revolutionists. At the present moment
It Is within the law of the United States
to sell guns and ammunition to the
Cuban patriots. The only trouble Is In
delivering the cootls. So lone ns n
state of war Is not recognized by this I
government Spain can search and
seize only within her own Jurisdiction.
It would prejudice the Interests of
the patriots to give Spain the belliger
ent right to search upon the open sea.
Furthermore, such recognition would
subject our merchant vessels passing
near the coast of Cuba to endless an
noyance and detention. During the
ten-year war General ''.rant was tinted
by many Americans to recognize the
belligerency of the Cubans. He In
quired carefully Into the matter and
decided It was not desirable, even after
the revolution hail overrun two-thirds
of the island and had been In progress
seven or eight years.
Recognition as belligerents Is not
what the situation demunds. Practical
action is the only thtng that will meet
the emergency. Today the cable brings
from .Madrid the reported declaration !
of the government that no reforms can
be granted 'the Cubans until they lay
down their arms. This Is precisely the
position which the American govern
ment so energetically protested against
nearly twenty years ago. It was Presi
dent Grant who brought the Spaniards
down from their haughty disregard of
human rights on that occasion, and It
was not his fault, nor the fault of the
American people, that the pledges
which Spain made In pursuance of our
demands were violated as soon us our
backs were turned.
tirnnt's Action a Prcecdo.-t.
The precedent set by President Grant
lives as a guide to present action, and
Spain's bad faith gives ample jitstlllca
tion for advancing another step with
our diplomacy, for adding force. If
necessary, to our moral Intervention.
Nations, like individuals, must have
great Justification for actions which are
warranted only by moral rights, in
this case the justification is ample, and
Is likely to be so ndjudged not only by
the American people, but by the powers
of Europe. If the United Slates sets
out to secure the independence of Cuba,
Spain will have no supporter among
the nations. Constitutional liberty
will b established In Cuba without
the filing of an American gun.
There Is little doubt that the Cleve
land ndliiinlrttt'iitlrtn Will l:ik. unn .1...
clslve step looking to the freedom of
Cuba. The executive may act on his
own account, as he may any moment
find pretext for doing. If Impelling
cause other than humanity and the
rights of man Is needed, It may be
found In the destruction and peril of
American commercial interests. At
least, President Cleveland Is likely to
bring the whole matter most forcibly
to the attention of congress a few
months hence.

THOUGHT RECTOR TOO GAY.
Pastor McKay Is Compelled to Seek Fresh
Fields and lasturca New.
Cincinnati, Sept. 16. iRev. D. McKay
has surrendered the charge of the Fern
Bank Protestant Episcopal church,
of which he has been rector for
two years. He did It on request of the
vestry, which acted after approval by
Bishop Jagger, of the diocese. ReV.
'Mr. .McKay Is 40 years old and single.
For some time there had been com
plaints from members of the church
and congregation .of the way In which
the rector was ' conducting himself.
They said he was leading a too gay
and extravagant life for the charge he
held. His salary was $l.0eu a year, yet
he dressed in white duck pants, kept a
saddle horse, smoked cigarettes and
was aboundiiigly cordial In his atten
tion to the young ladles of his parish.
Then last June a well-known theatri
cal man came to Cincinnati and was
the rector's guest. The good people
dhl not like the Plea of their rector as
sociating with actor folk. Next the
rector took a two months' vacation
abroad, and Information came back
that he was much In the company of
his thespiun friend. Later there was
gossip that three young ladles of the
parish had interpreted the attentions
they had received from the rector as
proposals (,f marriage.
When the rector returned from
abroad three mouths ago the vestry
had Its mind made up, and he was
asked to resign, which he did last
Thursday, and he ha gone east. He is
uu Knglishman, and had made the ac
quaintance, of the actor before he came
to this country.

Toledo. Sept. 16. N. B. Bacon, of this

regard to Mr. Cleveland's feelings on

law practice."
"In plain words, then, he Is not n

"That is my understanding of the sit

Asked as to whom he thought the
president would favor In case he was
not' himself a candidate, Mr. Bacon
said:
"He Is on very friendly terms with
'Mr. Whitney, and their olliclal and
personal relations have been closely al
lied. And I niuy say In the same con
nection tli.it his relations with Mr.
Carlisle are nlso very close. Whether
he has any preference as between the
two, I cannot lay. For that matter,
there may be others whom he would
look upon wit'i eqiral favor. Yet I do
not think- he would undertake to farh
lon the sentiment of the party toward
any man individually."

wus handed the former's pay of $3.20
he notilled Foreman Hines. The fore
man went at once and demanded the
tirst Slav to give up the pay he had

ground, however.

the rear door, and the Slavs did not
get Bight of him until he was fifty
yards away, when they set up a shout
and started after him with clubs,
stones and revolvers.
Cotvtable Curtis drew his revolver
and tired several shots to keep the
foreigners bac k, but they pressed on
as though nothing happened. Hines.
however, led away from them, and
they soon gave up the chase. It 1s sur
prising that he was not struck by the
hundred or more shots fired after him.

the most desperate of the Slavs to jail
for rioting, but Lacuta went down to

hud them released.
