Meantime a great throng had gathered about the city ball, men, women and children A tha cortege approached, hat were duffed In reverent silence. As the hearse stopped before the entrance the strains of Chopin' funeral march resounded from the bnnd on tho steps, and as tlio casket wa borne within, sob were heard on every vide.

Chicago, Oct, 31 There wa a decided diminution In the attendance at the World' fair today. Though It was officially closed lat night, the gate are tllll and tbe attraction are, a yet, unchanged; but it i evident that Cblengoaii have about completed their visit and the outside world hid made It calculation lo depart whfii ti official cud came, not anticipating that lb" put) would continue to swing on their hinge. The wisdom of closing the exposition at lliu appointed lima I already apparent and all ire glad that the Ltur show ended at thn tie iu lit of Its glory. All the foreign exhibits at tho Into World' fair wero declared formally closed at noon today. Iusomuc tse there were brief cerimonli s.

In others tbe sections were simply shut off from view wl.h canvas curtain. A majority of tha exhibitor urii already al work packing their dis play transportation homeward. II Is possihlu now only to estimate the total receipt and dUbui'ifinent In the absence of a late report of tho auditor. The gate receipt will ap proximate and the con cession receipts H.0IHI.O00. From souvenir coins and piciniuins the ex position has drawn almost Interest ou deposits bas brought tloo.oou more and from various other sources entered In tliu books as miscellaneous receipts is a credit of about TOO.ooo.

Tho cost of tbe rest of tho fair, tho statu and foreign buildings, the Midway and the rest has never been more than estimated and tlio figure has been placed at $10,000,00, making the total cost of all That is nearly three times what the Paris fair cost. Tbe men who havs directed the affairs of theexposltion aro glad tho play is ended, since It cannot longiw be continued with the same success; glad to be freo from a responsibility that bas worn heavily upon them all. Aud it would bo unjust to chronicle the end of so grand a work without according to tho men who have bad most to do with its progress the praise to which their labors entitle them. The sailing has not all been smooth and tbe surface of the exposition's affairs hasjnot been unruffled by bitter storms.

But the end bai beeo successfully reached, and little morj could be asked. Today will be tbe Inst day of the Midway Plaisance. Director General Davis has issued orders to have tho world famous street closed up after today and instructed the concessionaires to get out as fast as they can. There will be no more shows of any kind, and all business except that of moving out and clearing up the street must stop. The Midway has been an attraction which no other world's ex position has possessed.

It has repre sented the less civilized peoplo of tho earth more completely than was ever done before aud has furnished amusement nd instruction to millions of visitors. The number of exhibits there and thoso in Jackson park are estimated at 120,000. They came from all parts of the world and aro now to be returned. CAHNOt A CAND1II ITE.

Minor Issues will rut but littlo figure In the campaign.

Tho course of political events has brought Carnot and the people of France into the closest sympathy. By extending the hand of hospitality to the visiting Russians, Carnot won the allegiance of thousands of French votors. Car- not's name is connected forever with the greatest alliance for national safety that France has ever made, and his re-election will lu a measure be an indorsement by the nation of the alliance of the (Sauls with tho Slavs. Karly Lumbering Season.
