THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1900.
I
OPENING OF THE
' "" FAIR AT DALLAS
i .
IT PROMISES TO BE A WELL AT
TENDED EVENT.
Grounds Are Delightfully Laid Out
and the Buildings Admirably
Adapted for County Fair Purposes.
There Promises to Be a. Good Dls-
play of Exhibits In All Depart
ments and the Midway Is Crowdod
with Attractions Card Arranged
for Each Day's Races.
From Stall (.'oneJponilciil.
Dallas, Oct. 2. The llrst day ot the
agricultural exhibition nnd trotting
heeling' held under the auspices of the
Dallas Pair association was sunny nnd
warm.' Thoro was no ndmlttancc
churged, nor was there much of nn at
tendance, as the first day, ns Is usual
with county fairs, was strictly devoted
tn getting the necessary work over for
the three dnys of nctunl exhibition find
preparing to tnko care of the crowds
that are expected to be on the grounds
for the balance of the show week.
This fair Is unique In the amount of
canvas that Is used, both to shelter
portions of the exhibits and also for
the little sideshows that spring up like
mushrooms between the grand-stand
nnd llora.1 hall. There is a numerous
gathering of these even thus early and
the indications are that by tomorrow
night there will be many more, making
the fair grounds look like a camp meet
ing with Its white and varl-colorcd
tents.
The grounds are on the crown of n.
hill, about three-fourths of a mile from
the Callus station of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad. The most convenient way
for Scrantonians to reach here Is to
come by the Lackawanna road to Ben
nett, there take the trolley car to Dal
las, and then come the rest of the way
by stage or hack. Or the trip may be
made by the Lehigh Valley railroad
from Wllkes-Barre.
1 Well Laid Out.
The grounds arc delightfully laid out
land are level and high, commanding a
fine view of mountains and plains.
They embrace about thirty acres and
ln the foreground there Is a good half
mile track, well packed and free from
dust. A spacious grand-stand of two
stories fronts the Judge's stand. The
ilrst floor is given over to agricultural
products of all kinds. As yet this part
of the exhibition is not very extensive,
tut it is being gradually filled up and
by tomorrow noon the display of vege
tables, cereals and fruits will undoubt
edly prove attractive to those who love
to view nature's bounty.
The second floor of the grand-stand
Is tilled with tier upon tier of wide
plank seats fully two feet deep. In
spite of their weather-beaten looks
they are very comfortable, for they
permit a lounging attitude while wait
ing for the races.
In front of the grand-stand is the
platform from where the musicians
will breathe out harmony. It will be
occupied tomorrow and the following
two days by the Citizens' band, of Ply
mouth. About a hundred feet back of the
crand-stand is the floral hall, a low,
long building. Hero is where the most
attractive features will be on view, for
in It will be grouped good things to
eat, clothes, dairy products, fancy ar
ticles, the ladles' departments, and fur
niture, stones and sea shells. The In
ternational Correspondence Schools, of
Scranton, hasa booth filled with lit
erature descriptive or their work, a
firm of Wllkes-Barre architects have
bright signs, and a plumber has a
model bath-room set up.
The Cattle Stalls.
Back of tflo floral hall are the cattle
sta'lls. They are not very well filled as
yet, but .the fair Is young. The star
exhibit in this department is a Devon
cow with three black-and-white calves,
all born on the same day. They are
about six months old and .each of the
triplets bears a strong family resem
blance to the others, but none at all to
the mother.
Another family having honors thrust
upon them Is a Shepherd dog and a
litter of seven pups, and still another is
n. cat with two kittens, Angora bred,
jvlth white fur and blue eyes.
; -.The poultry department is so full
Jhat It has been divided into two sec
tions. One occupies a row of wooden
coops about fifty feet long. This Is
given over to ducks and geese. The
other part is under a large canvas tent
and In this the coops are piled four
nnd live stories up. There is a par
ticularly fine array of pigeons under
the canvas shelter, nearly every vari
ety of homing and fancy breeds being
represented.
There Is a miniature "Midway" be
tween the grand stand and floral hall,
nnd half a dozen tents house as many
entertainments. At the head of this
street is a log cabin bearing the leg
end, "Riley's Boarding House," and In
side it room for a bout fifty boarders
nt once.
Several refreshment stands como
next in lino and then tht-re Is a flfteen
foot tent with big black letters, an
nouncing the "Coontown Jubllea
Show," und half a dozen ladles nnd
gem'men of varying hues of light and
" shade sing and dnnco therein, all for
tho modest sum of one dime. Next
door to that Is another tent with "Kl
' ,KI, the Wild Man of Borneo," con
cealed in It. Our old Scranton friend,
"Boscoe, who eats 'em alive!" shares
half of this tent, ana next to that
is another with a placard telling tho
passerby that a "Refined Vaudeville
Show" has mndo it Its headquarters,
Insido this tent a strip of boarding,
three by five feet, serves u the pur
' poses of a stage, sans footlights, scen-
ery and orchestra. The last tent on
tho Midway is ono devoted to show
ing 'Tails After Dntk."
Gnmes of Chance,
Next to tho poultry tent Is a largo
clock under u canvas roof and nn ud
. mission of ten cents Is required from
all who are curious to teo its wonder
ful features, us elabointed upon by tho
enthusiasts "burker" at tho entrance.
Then there are wheels of fortune, ball
throwing games and 'other entertain
ments of various Hinds, including
palmist", tin-type tnkeis, etcetera.
Certainly tho rustle visitor will have
, no exousu for retaining his cash very
long utter ho gets on tho grounds; .If
J he ts of n cm lous turn of mind,
JL The olllcers of the fair will allow no
Intoxicants to bo sold on tho grounds,
" nor will they permit any gambling
. or any machines used for that purpose
, Inside their enclosure. They wish all
Visitors to enjoy themselves, but will
not lei that enjoyment be a nulsanoa
to others of aNuioro sedate nature.
The prjmlum list Is given up to sev
enteen divisions and over $3,000 Is of
fered In the various departments as
nn Inducement to brln? out keen com
petition, Tho divisions nro ns fol
lows! Horses, cattle, sheep, swine,
poultry and pigeons nnd pot quadru
peds, grain nnd Hour, vegetables,
fruit, domcstlo manufactures, needle
work and embroidery, painting nnd
drawing, mercantile displays, pianos
nnd organs, sewltig machines, car
riages and bicycles, und agricultural
Implements.
This Is tho fifteenth fair of this as
sociation nnd It promises to bo the
best In exhibits and attendance that
has been held. The races have all
filled well excepting tho 2.22 class trot,
which Is tho first event on the track
tomorrow, but there havu been enough
entries In this to start It, and It will
be called at 1.30 p. m. The other fix
ture for tomorrow Is tho 2.45 trot and

two events, there will bo a balloon aii
renslon In tho afternoon nnd other fea
tures to amuse visitors will bo ndded.
The Knees.
Tho automobile race scheduled for
Friday Is now assured. With good
weather, tho next three days, thcDul

FEKENO WINS
KENTUCKY RACE
Takes Three Straight Heats Beau
Gallant Secures Rich Matron
Stakes at Morris Park.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Lexington, Ky., Oct. 2. The twenty
eighth fall meeting of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders' association
opened today with an exceptionally
large attendance. The feature was the
great Kentucky futurity for $16,000 for
3-year-olds. There were nine starters
and Fereno, owned by L. V. Hnrkness,
won in straight heats. In the second
heut Fereno broke the futurity record
by coming under the wire in 2.10, the
previous record being that made by
Ecstacy last year, 2.11. Summary:

The Tennessee 2.09 pace, purse $3,000,
was won by Connor. AVill Leyburn got
second money. Best time, 2.09U.
New York, Oct. 2. Beau Gallant
won the rich Matron stakes at Mor
ris park today, a half length ahead
of the favorite, Commando. Coming
down the stretch, Commando was two
lengths ahead of the other nine horses,
with Jockey Spencer crouched over his
neck. The boy thought ho had the
race in hand nnd was apparently win
ning easily, when Bullman brought
Beau Gallant up with n rush on tho
rail. Spencer did not see him until
it was too late to got his mount going
again as, to all appearances, he was
easing up, and Beau Gallant snatched
a victory and earned the winners share
of the purse, $1-1,000, for his owner, S.
C. Hlldreth. Time, l.lO'j. Distance,
six 'furlongs. Commando in the pools
was a hot favorite nt two to five,
while twenty to ono could be had for
Beau Gallant.
Tho stewards suspended Spencer for
a week for his careless ride. It was
also ruled that tho entries of S. C.
Hlldreth be refused for the balance of
the meeting as well as at Washington,
presumably for his assault on John 13.
Madden and another last night.

MASS MEETING
OFfHE MINERS
Concluded from Tige 1.1
favor striken, t went to New York to calt on
the opernlorii at the saulflce ot pcnonal dignity
to net n hearing. Hut the men who employ
j ml turiiod tnc mvy and even refused to re.
telve a committee of their own men for the
uirioe ot tntliltiK ocr the differences.
The nroi.test strike in tho history of the world
U drawing to n close, Already the great coal
earning rallrcrdi hac agreed to Increase your
bilges ten per cent, which fa a great victory In
Itself. True It Is not rndiigh, It doe not sat
isfy us, hut tho time is not far distant when
the anthracite, coat miners will receive as much
for their labor as any other clasa of workmen in
the world.
In this struggle do not place alisolutc faith
tn John Mitchell or any other one man. Put
jour faith In the nrganltatlon. Work hard for
lis prosperity, for the stronger It Is, the better
jou arc armed for the struggle In which )cu
lire now engaged. This strike shall not he dc
itaied n(I by me. It shall not he ended until a
convention of anthracite miners shall no Oeclde.
V.ny union and every colliery will be asked
to send on? or more delegates to n convention
to determine tho question for themselves. Your
Interests nro gmter than mine. I atnll not de
cide the question of your going bach to work.
You must vote on that yourself. I will not pre
tend to detcrmlna. your fate or that of the 500,
GCfl who nro directly affected by this struggle.
Stand Together,
Mr. Mitchell then briefly reviewed the
struggles of the miners during the
past forty years and said that the min
ers cannot expect to have all the evils
which have been heaped upon them
during the last half century of unor
ganized labor righted at once. Con
tinuing Mr. Mitchell bald:
I firmly believe that viclory will be achieved
by the men standing together. Do not let otic
of you move until ull move. If you stand to
gether we will achicc a greater victory than
was cer attained by labor la the anthracite coal
region. If nothing else is achieved than the
tuklng ot the young bojs, who today yelled a
I pasvil them in tfie parade that ".Mitchell U
all light," out of the breakers nnd placing them
in the schools the futuic will show that Mitch
ell was nil right. I am firmly of the belief that
the mothers of the breaker boys nightly pray
to the ltuler of tho universe to decide in favor
of the men, so that their boys can go to tin
schools. A miner should receive for bis labor as much
ns any man on earth, so that he, blinbclt, can
build a home on the present tumbling ruins ot
his hovel lullt by the companies, and so that
he can nfford to nllcw his children to have the
advantage of the college, too.
Through the cflorts of the United Mine Work
ers we can secure justice for all. We want to
stand together and I hope that not one man will
desert the ranks ot the union nnd thit not one
man will go bak to the mines until the vic
tory is complete.
The national president was followed
by Fred Dilcher, of Ohio; Benjamin
James, of Pennsylvania, both members
of the executive board, and "Mother"
Mary Jones. After the meeting, Presi
dent Mitchell was driven through
cheering crowds to his hotel, where he
will remain until S o'clock tomorrow
morning, when he will return to
Ilazlt'ton.
President Mitchell's address, as far
as outlining any future move on the
part of the labor leaders Is concerned,'
was a disappointment. Ho intimated
very strongly last night that he would
dcllne the position of the union today
on the ten per cent, concession. His
failure to do so has caused the Im
pression to go out that he is still un
decided what should be done, and that
he Is probably waiting for local unions
to take some kind of action first.
On the other hand, there are some
people who are in close touch with
tho situation who believe that Mr.
Mitchell knows exactly what he is do
ing. They argue that his telling the
men that they enn settle the ten per
cent. Increase question by holding a
convention, was a broad hint to the
locnl lenders to carry out the sug
gestion. Mr. Mitchell had no news
touching upon negotiations for settle
ment to give out today. He said there
was absolutely no change in the situa
tion. President Mitchell, In answer to a
direct question tonight, said that not
one local union in the entire anthracite
coal field had requested the calling of
a convention of the miners.
When the correspondents told Mr.
Mitchell that there hud been some
disappointment expressed because he
failed to give out any information in
his speech, he replied wfth a smile,
that he "almost said something," but
caught himself before It was too late.
Ho said today's labor demonstration
was the greatest he had ever seen, and
was of the opinion that it augured
well for the cause of the miner.
OPERATORS ARE
IN NO HURRY
They Are Willing to Await the
Pleasure of the Men in the Mat
ter of Accepting Increase.
By IXcluslvo Wire from The Associated Press,
Wllkes-Barre, Oct. 2. The coal oper
ators of thp Wyoming valley who post
ed notices at their collieries last night
notifying their employes of a-10 per
cent, increase In wages, had no Infor
mation from their men today as to
whether the offer would bo accepted or
not. They thought the strikers were
too busy with the parade and mass
meeting to take any notion. The oper
ators are In no hurry and will wait
tho pleasure of the strikers. Tho
miners, however, have about made up
their minds that they will not consid
er the offer. Tho Increase, they say,
is a mere trlilo and not worthy of con
sideration. Tho fact that the operators have
made what appears to bo u studied ef
fort to Ignore the miners' union, Is
what galls tho strikers most. They
say it Is useless to talk of a settlement
unless tho presidents of the big coal
companies make up their minds to re
cognize tho union. One of the officers
of tho United Mine Workers' council
of this district said today;
"I don't see how an agreement can
bo reached so long as the union Is left
out of tho negotiations. Tho operators
might ns well understand now as later
on thut the union has como to stay
and that It will Insist on Its demands
bulng granted."
MK. MITCHELL'S OBJECT,
President Sayro Thinks It Was Not
the Betterment of Miners' Wages.
Ily UxcUuIre Wire from The Associated 1'rcss.
New Tork, Oct. 2. Vice President
Suyre, of tho Lehigh Valley railroad,
said today regarding tho strikers' re
fusal to accept the ten per cent. In
crease In wages offered them by some
companies;
"I cannot tell what our next step
will be In case tho striking miners
definitely nnd absolutely reject our
concessions. It is a contingency which
we have not had occasion to discuss
much as yet. This much is certain,
however, the companies will wait some
little time before taking any further
steps and will giro their former em
ployes tlmo to thoroughly understand
thn situation. In dealing with auch
men It does not do to bo In too much
of a hurry. Many of them nre for
eigners, Illiterates, nnd spenklng only
foreign languages. They can hardly
be said to be thoroughly responsible
for what they do. The English-speaking
miners were never onthuslnstlc for
the strike.
"The union's action now shown that
whatever his Intention mny have been,
the betterment of tho miners' wages
was not Mr. Mitchell's object."
THE MIME WORKERS
ELECT DELEGATES
One Chosen for Every 800 Members.
A Rumor of Shooting.
By Kxcluslve Wire from The Associated Press.
Shenandoah, Oct. 2. Meetings of all
tho local branches of tho United Mine
Workers were held here tonight to
elect delegates to the convention to
be called later by President Mitchell.
One. delegate was choson for every 200
members. A'ccordlng to Organizer C.
8. Pottler, ten delegates were elected
by the Lithuanians, eight by the Poles,
four by tho Greeks and three by tho
English-speaking miners. Their
names were not divulged. Organizer
Pottler says resolutions were adopted
nt all the meetings expressing the
strikers' determination to remnln away
from the mines until tho operators
decide to recognize the union. It was
also agreed, Mr. Pottler asserts, the
men will only return to work In a
body.
Rumors were prevalent here today
that strikers had tired upon Sergeant
Anthony, of the Governor's Troop.
General Qobln and Captain Ott, of the
troop, Bay the men were hunting and
that there Is no evidence to show that
they tried to shoot Anthony.
MB. MITCHELL HOPES FOB
GREATER CONCESSIONS.
The Railroads Hold the Key to the
Situation.
Dy Esclusivc Wire from The Associated Press.
Indianapolis, Oct. 2. President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
has written national headquarters here
that he Is confident of securing greater
concessions than those offered bv the
anthracite coal operators and the rail
road companies for the striking miners'
In Pennsylvania. Mr. Mitchell says the
railroads hold the key to the situation
and It is useless to deal with Individual
operators.
It Is felt at headquarters that an ad
vance of 10 per cent, would mean noth
ing under a sliding scale, as the opera
tors could reduce the price of coal. It
Is also felt that the concessions offered
on price of powder is not satisfactory
and means nothing.
TROOPS MAY STAY.
Numerous Communications to Gov.
Stone Asking Their Retention.
Dy Exclusive Wire from Tho Associated Press.
Shenandoah, Pa., Oct. 2. General
Gobin tonight expressed himself as un
certain when the next movement of
troops from here would take place.
Numerous communications have been
sent to Governor Stone by residents
of this locality urging him to keep the
troops here, expressing the fear that
their departure would be followed by
lawlessness. '
These letters have been forwarded to
General Gobin, who is making every
effort to secure definite information
concerning the conditions in all parts
of the region before sending any more
troops away.
Company I, of the Twelfth regiment,

MR. HANNA ON
THE ISSUES
(Concluded from Torc 1,
viewing stand, before which the long
procession passed In review, occupying
more than an hour. There were many
unlquo nnd amusing features tn the
parade.
After the procession had passed In
review, Governor Roosevelt was con
ducted to a speaker's stand, where he
spoke for three quarters of an hour,
going over the same ground In Ills re
marks as ho has traveled over before
upon the Issues of expansion, militar
ism, Imperialism and patriotism. His
remarks wre punctuated by frequent
cheers. At the conclusion of his speech,
on his way from tho stand to his car
riage, he was fairly mobbed by a wild
ly eager crowd who wished to shake
his hand. The train then pulled out
for Plattsmouth, where nn evening
meeting was held. The evening meet
ing at Plattsmouth was also a great
success In point of numbers and Inter
est. This meeting closed tho day's
Itinerary.
There was a largo crowd at Grand
Island to meet the arrival of the Roose
velt train this morning, and here the
governor left the train and spoke from
a stand a dozen blocks away In tho
center of tho city. Ho prefaced his re
marks by calling attention to the pros
perity of nil classes now existing, and
asked his hearers to compare It with
the economic conditions of four years
ago and act accordingly. He appealed
also to the young men who were cast
ing their votes for the first or second
time to cast them for the party which
has always been working for the honor
of tho flag and the Kreatness of the
nation.
While delivering his speech at Au
rora, Governor Roosevelt was Inter
rupted by a man who cried out: "What
about tho trusts?"
Governor Roosevelt "What trust do
you moan?"
Inquirer "Oh, tho Ice trust, beef
trust, the oil trust and all of them."
Governor Roosevelt "Shall I tell you
about Chairman Jones' cotton bale
trust, or Richard Croker's Ice trust?"
Governor Roosevelt continued:. "He
puts the question In good faith, and I
will try to answer it In good faith. The
trusts at present have to be dealt with
each state by Itself, A denunciation
of trusts Is of no value when not con
nected with action. Democratic de
nunciation of trusts amounts to noth
ing when Mr. Jones, chairman of the
national Democratic committee, is at
the head of the cotton bale trust, and
when Mr. Croker, the leader of the
New York Democraey, has a large
ownership in another. These facts con
vict them of insincerity, and that Is all
there Is about It.
"There was a chance to give tho na
tional government power to deal with
trusts awhile ago, when the Republi
can party In congress submitted a
resolution for an amendment to the

about a month ago asking him to take
some active part in the campaign, Mr.

not to press him to make any speeches
early in the campaign. He explained
that he had overworked himself In the
Venezuelan boundary dispute and need
ed several weeks of complete rest. He
added that he would be in New York
early in October on some legal busi
ness und would then put himself In
communication with the national com
mittee, It Is now said on the highest
authority that Ben Harrison will not
be asked to mako any speeches until
nearly the close of the campaign till
after Governor Roosevelt has made
his tour of New York Btafre. Then ho
will take the stump and make several
speeches, at least two of which are to
be delivered In this city.
Senator Scott called on ex-Presldent
Harrison at! tho hitter's hotel and said
nftorward that Mr. Harrison will re
main here ten or eleven days and will
be able to speak, probably within that
time. If he should not be able to de
liver nn address, said Senator Scott,
ho will write a letter giving his views

SENATOR HILL AT RICHMOND,
Cites the Dred Scott Decision ns
Argument Against Imperialism.
By Kxcluslve Wire from The Associated Picas.
Richmond, Va., Oct. 2. A largo
crowd assembled tonight at the Reser
voir Park Casino, a mile from tho city,
to hear Hon. David B. Hill, of New
York, speak. Mr. Hill's- speech was
largely confined to a constitutional ar
gument against Imperialism. Ho hard
ly touched upon the financial Issues.
Ho said that, as Imperjnllsm was the
paramount Issue, It was natural and
proper thut ho should confine his ad
dress to that theme,
He stood squarely on the Bred Scott
decision, under which, he argued, the
constitution applied to all thut terri
tory held by tho United Stutes. Ho
denied thut this feature of tho decision
had been either formally or Informal
ly reversed, and claimed that It
brought the territories and our now
possessions under the constitution. Mr.
Hill left late tonight for Danville,
where he will sneak tomorrow.
