THE STATEFAIR IS ON Twenty-Ninth Annual Fair of Minnesota Opens on a Pleasant Day. Everything Will Be in Shape For Inspection by the Public Next Monday.

No Liquor Sold on the Fair Grounds, But Little Blind Pigs Present. Tipperary and Collector Are the Winning" Horses For Breeders' Stakes. The Programme For Roads That Lead to the Fair Grounds. A sharp, cold wind swept across- the fair grounds yesterday and people shivered. Seibert's band sat in the band stand with their coat collars turned up around their necks and reeled off a few dozen musical selections for the delectation of a half a thousand people who drifted about the grounds in an almost fruitless endeavor to pass away the time pleasantly.

It was the opening day of the. Twentyninth annual fair of the Minnesota State Agricultural society, ami, as all opening days of affairs of this kind, was marked with a general hustling and bustling among the exhibitors, who had not as yet got their displays in shape fo- public inspection, and the main building, machinery and and the art gallery were filled with the echos of falling hammers and the sharp hiss of the saw as the various departments were being gotten into order and the work will not be completed before to-night, if it is then, so really the grand opening day will be Monday," when it is expected all: exhibitors will have their exhibits on the ground and in place. There is every indication now that agricultural ball will present to the eye of the visitor an array of products of the soil of Minnesota which has never been equalled for extensivehess and richness.Yesterday morning it looked barren and last evening a large portion of the place had been filled with exhibits and it was rapidly growing into a paradise of fruits, vegetables and grains. Particularly noticeable was a miniature farm arrayed just to the left of the southern entrance, representing a pastoral scene with more truth to nature than it could have possibly been given by the brush of a painter. There were the fields covered with newly mown grass and golden grain; the comfortable, home of the farmer nestling among trees and hedge rows of umbrageous growth; the barn, large and airy, and the road winding down through the fields to a real fence of rails.

It was a stritiinrlv 1- V-v nrrnn.pjii.iit- The attendance was very slim, a few people evidently from the rural districts were there, but the number totally told did not reach SOO. The attendance was i as large however as the management ex- pected it would be, and really they are not anxious for visitors to come until the exhibition is ready for them, then no complaint against the fair can be made. A LOOK AT THE FAKIR. Schemes for Making Money and How They're Run. "Get quick action!" Ting-a-ling-a-aling! "Now they're off!" The faker was pitching his tent and explaining his plan of furnishing fun and marvels at reasonable prices.

The miniature horse rate drew a gang early, and the book-maker, after he started the players, was kept busy with his pencil until the grounds were deserted. "It's ther fairest ganiblin' game on earth, 1 reckon," said an old farmer as he pulled a quarter from his pocket and bought Pdntiac to win. Pontiac lost and be bought again and lost. He chipped in .2 and didn't catch the right horse once. This worried him and he left muttering to' himself something about a secret spring that the fellow who turned the crank must touch when he.

wanted the horses to stop. The ladies come along. Look and listen. One says to her companion, "I'll take number six just for fun." The horses are started. A minute later the starter yells, "Six wins!" and the lady gives her companion's arm a yank and says, "There.

I knew six would win. I wish I was a man. I'd make money on that thing." The gypsy fortune teller has camped near the. main walk to the grand stand and offers to. tell her callers; all about tin- future for a half a dollar and if a dollar is vouchsafed her she will.

paint the future A fat man sits behind a pair 'of gold bowed eve and engineers a scheme that has for the first time made its appearance in this country. "It is the only honest way to get cigars," says he. "give me ten cents.touch that knob, this train of cars will knock that rubber ball out on that board covered with numbers. You get cigars according to the number it stops on." The curious man tries it, wins two cigars, smokes an eighth of an inch of feeds the other to a patient corn busker up in machinery hall and walks around with aquamish cast of'countenance for an hour. A short thin man yawps around until people in his vicinity get wild and i mtame.

He wants people to pay 10 cents for trying to throw five rings: over the heads of a lot of canes stuck through a canvas. It is a fake that catches the young, middle-aged and aged.and they throw themselves against it with a carelessness that strongly tesembles sheer desperation. "Under a new-canvas bent, a globular man, draped with dark blue cloth, brass buttons and badges, which indicate that he has fought under the American flag, looks carefully after lone brass arrow set on a pivot. and which stops over some piece of jewelry or a cigar. If the word of the man who runs goes for anything, he who.

tests this machine never fails to get back 25 or 30cents for every 10 he; invests. To attract the crowd the man has tied to one of the tent stakes, a-large, black American eagle, the only bird on earth that can get up in the morning, fly up and wipe its mouth on the face of the sun and get back to earth without winking or in any otlier manner working a drink. Down in the hollow is the merry-goround, where old women fearlessly ride on the backs of reindeers, and little children rush through the air astride fiery steeds to fanciful airs played by a i catarrhal hand-organ. Close by is the panorama, ''Custer's Last Battle," an interesting piece of work, but entertainment that comes too high. It was a barren day for the fakers yesterday, but.

they patiently worked their jaws and wagged their tongues, clearly anticipating the glittering harvest that the future holds in store for them. AMONG THE PAINTINGS. A Half Hour: Spent With Bright Conceptions of Clever Artists. "Get your umbrella checked here, sir!" "Oh, never mind, I'd jest ez leves carry it." "You can't take it into this building." "Why not?" "Because you'll be sticking it into some of the pictures." This conversation took place yesterday afternoon at the doorway of the art gallery, where two pretty maids, with black eyes, dark hair never-dying smiles sit and hold up the people and relieve them of their, umbrellas and canes as they attempt to pass through. In this case the pretty maid won and the farmer went inside, minus his umbrella.

All the pictures are not yet in place, but the workmen were busily engaged all day in putting in paintings, crayon pastels and photographs into shape, and hanging them where the light would bring out most forcibly their striking features. Many beautiful studies are already on the walls, and the superintendent of this department says the great features are yet to come. A marine view by William T. Richards is' among the first to attract the eye of the visitor. The great stretch of ocean, as it rolls back from the quivering beach, gathering its forces for another onslaught, with the lights and shadows delicately; set, completes a combination of- colors that is perfectly beautiful.

Clyde Loomis, of North Branch has executed a wonderfully natural piece of work in painting a i fence corner round which is growing a I cluster of golden rod. One of. the stalks lies across the end of a rail where it has i been bent by the wind. The coloring of the leaves and the tinting of the blossoms are extremely-delicate and natural, It is one of the prettiest studies in the gallery thus far hung. When a farmer walks into the art gallery steps round on the tips of his toes and looks at the figures wall as though lie was afraid they would step out of their frames i en masse and attack him for making a The first few paintings he looks yat amuse him in a tame kind of; a way and he passes on he finally gets interested and: getting bolder, walks a little nearer, A few steps farther on he becomes engrossed and he Is close up to the and in about two minutes he is -bending over the railing and gazing in open-mouthed astonishment -at the combination colors and features hardly two inches' from his nose, and he naturally and enthusiastically remarks, "I'll be.

durned ef ther ain't ther prettiest thing I ever seed." Place a farmer feet from an oil painting and he don't appreciate it, but let it two feet from the end of -i his nose and more beauties in it than 9 the painter could find, and this is why, the management will not permit people to carry canes and umbrellas into the art gallery. A person-" is liable to get excited over some: piece the wall that is beyond reach of the arm, and they have cane or an umbrella in their" hand, their first act is to point out the striking features of the painting with doing this SAINT PAUL, MINK, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER' 10, t. there is a liability of seriously injuring valuable paintings. An old man sits by a wide fire-place, in which a bright log fire is burning and sending out fingers of; light- that leave delicate. traceries on the dark The man is busily engaged in shelling corn that falls into a great basket.

On the floor beside him is a heap of empty cobs, and across the room, facing him, is a bright-faced- boy-engaged, in the same occupation, In the background a well-preserved old lady, with snowy locks surrounding a happy, contented face, stands by a tall spinning wheel that twists into yarn the panful of wool by her side. It is a beautiful picture. of a typical kitchen in an old-time New England farm house. Charles E. Mass is the artist, and he has done his work perfectly.

"I've got a blind pig in my pocket." "I'll pull its tail once." "Go ahead." This is a bright, interesting conversa: tion heard near the grand stand yesterday by a Globe reporter, ami, when a minute later the second speaker came out from behind the ticket stand wiping his lips and smacking his jaws, the reporter knew that there; was one less swallow of whisky open to inspection.

i The closest search yesterday- failed 1 to I bring to light anything- that had the' of a liquor joint, excepting it was the hip pocket of some, intimate friend, and there were many private reservoirs on the grounds from which satisfaction was eagerly drawn. "It's a shame that the management of this fair has barred the sale of liquor on these ground Nine out of cv cry ten men who visit this fair like a glass of beer occasionally and when they go to a place like this and can't get it. lt makes them mad on general principles." This seemed to be the sentiment of the great majority and the day was spent largely among the male visitors in bewailing the absence of lager. A prominent St. Paul citizen said: "It may be all right, but it don't: look that way to me.

They can't keep liquor off these grounds, for people will bring it in bottles with them from the cities, and they'll make an effort to drink it where people will see them, just through a spirit of defiance, and they'll drink twice as much as they would if they could get it here just as they wanted it. I'm not in favor- of drunkenness, but I believe on occasions like this it should be sold. There are enough policemen on the grounds to give ample protection." WEDNESDAY MACHINERY DAY -y. People Who Have Nearly Got Their Exhibits Into Place. i Precisely at 9 o'clock yesterday morning the machinery of the state fair was set in motion and more than 300 ma- chines, agricultural and otherwise, were all day.

Monday this number will be increased by fully as there are' at least that many exhibitors who have been delayed- by various, causes. All these are now busily engaged in setting up their machinery and will soon be ready for The motive power is furnished by a Buckeye engine, set up by Kooinson Cary, of this city. It is located, in An- nex to the mechanical" department; The machinery, scattered through some half a dozen buildings, is run so noise- 5 lessly that a person not happening to-. see the moving wheels of the machines- would not be aware of it at all. 'V, At present there are over 100 car- of machinery on the grounds, as well as a considerable amount yet on the way.

The big engine will start at m. every "'day during next. week. Wednesday will be machinery day, and all arrangements are about completed for it. The procession, it is thought, will be about, one and one-half miles long, made up of mowers, reapers, carriages, sulky wagons and, in short, everything 'in'the line of machinery thai can be moved around.

The people of St. Paul and Minneapolis are to have an opportunity of hearing the bands whether they attend the fair or not. The two bands are parade every morning of next week from 9 to.lo o'clock, one in St. Paul and the other in' Minneapolis. After their parade they' will go at once.

Just north of the main building stands a plain brick structure, that looks, as though it had.been built for a jail or state prison. This is machinery So far it-is almost empty, although every foot of.

space within its four walls has been let. A few carriages, the Minne-. "1 sota Stoneware company, of Bed Wing, and a cider press are the only visible exhibits as yet. A few rods north of machinery hall stands three buildings of about the same size, known as annexes and respectively. These are r.

AROUND THE CIRCUIT. Three Rather Tame Races Be- tween Horses Bred in This' i The races didn't draw 7 many people to the grand stand yesterday The events were riot calculated to lie very exciting, but rather to the question superior mettlei between' the trotters bred by men.

Harry Black in the first eat left the track the last quarter and essayed to walk the fence, this held him back a trifle and he trailed in a long way behind Tipperary who won the heat, with Ice Cream a close second and Yon third. The heat was trotted in The next heat was won easily by Tipperary in 1:48. The other horses came in in the order that they came under the wire in the previous heat. The second event, a trotting race for two-year-olds, best two in three, for a purse of $500, mile heats, i was more interesting though there were no exciting features about it.

Some Damaging Statements Made Regarding Cardinal Gibbons. New York, Sept. Standard-Union this evening publishes a long statement by one whose name is not given, but who is vouched for as being in a position to know "whereof he speaks. It professses to show that Dr. McGlynn was condemned and dismissed from the priesthood without a hear-ing.

The.essential features, of the Story are in effect as Dr. in the capacity counsel for' Dr. McGlynn, prepared ii an; elaborate defense of his client and felt the utmost, confidence in his acquittal. Cardinal Gibbons was in Rome, and as he had taken strong ground in favor of the Knights of Labor, on whose behalf Dr. McGlynn had suffered admonition from Archbishop Corrigan and Cardinal Simeoni, it was thought that was a good person to present McGlynn's defense to the propaganda.

Accordingly it was forwarded to him for that" purpose. But the narrator goes on -to' say that Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane were very much, interested in carrying through the project of the Catholic university, and that the cardinal, willing to help Cardinal Simeoni: Gut of his McGlynn dilemma in order to forward the chances of the suppressed Dr. McGlynn's defense en-; tirely, and let the case go to a hearing pro essio. The authority quoted that Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, originated the idea of the university and secured the nucleus of 1300,000 for it in the donation -of Miss Caldwell, of New York that, that Bishop Spaulding had been ignored in the arrangements for it, she withdrew the gift, and that she has not restored it, though she has indirectly threaterfed with a suit -for the money. The story adds that Bishop Moore, of Florida, has taken up Dr.

Mc- Glynn's case, has. written the facts of the suppression to Rome, and that it is Very probable that the case will be re- Opened. Moreover, it is stated that Cardinal Gibbons says he suppressed the case, believing that he. was acting for the best, but that he now sees a great injury was done McGlynn, and he will do all he can to repair it. About this publication Dr.

H. Hubbard for the state and G. W. Argo for the defense. The taking of testimony was at once begun, the same witnesses being called and in the same order as at the trial of Arensdorf.

No new facts were brought out, the evidence merely reciting the killing, finding of the 7 body and surroundings as they then existed. At 4 o'clock court adjourned for the day, because the next witness could not be found. This witness was Fitzsimmons, who was later found in an intoxicated condition. Rev. C.

C. Turner, who was with Haddock up to a few minutes before the shooting, was summoned, but did not appear at the designated time and a bench warrant was issued and the reverend gentleman brought into court and fined for contempt, The taking 'of testimony is progressing rapidly, and the same ground has been covered today that took three days in the Arensdorf trial. It is hoped to get through in ten days at the furthest. ROCHESTER DAY. lt Was a Memorable Occasion at the Southern Minnesota Rochester, Sept.

To-day, Rochester's the biggest day of the Southern Minnesota fair. There was an immense crowd and fine. racing. Gov. McGill and staff were in attendance.

The governor made a very taking speech, the most important parts! of which are as follows: I have not come here to instruct you in agriculture. Ido not claim to be capable. of that, and know very well I could sit at your feet and learn. But having been invited to speak here, 1 trust you will indulge me in a thought or two on the social side of farm life. I know very well the farmer who commences the work of opening up and paying for a farm has little time during the first few years to think of anything but material.

success; but that once attained, he cannot afford to ignore the "social I features'of' In breeding raising stock the" prudent farmer exercises great care. He''Anas it to his advantage to do He cannot afford to neglect valuable live stock. Consequently they receive discriminating care. They receive the best of food, are carefully protected from the comfort. is his study.

Especially is this so in the breeding of fine stock. The mothers are looked after with assiduous attention. And this is not only commendable in itself, but it pays in dollars' and cein.s. How is it with tbe family? How is it with the wives who year in and year out, with a weary roundelay of toil, have contributed their full share of the prosperity at the peril of their lives have borne you children and with patient care and tenderness have watched over them through their INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD and raised them up to be noble men and women, the comfort, pride and hone of your old age? Ido not say that any man before me has neglected his duty in this respect, but I do say that we are all too apt to be thoughtless of the just claims of the wife and mother and of our obligations to her. In my imagination I see a young maiden, with the rosy tint of health upon her cheek, her heart full of glad eyes filled with happiness born of a joyous ljope of the future, led to the hymenial altar, by a stalwart young man full of strength and noble purposes.

He believes in her, loves her and resolves a thousand: times over to protect her from the rude hardships which other women," to his knowledge, have suffered, They settle on a farm arid with faith and confidence, with hope and love, commence the battle of life. The young man works in the the young woman works in the house. Their tasks are well duty of each is cheerf nllv and unfalteringly rendered. And this is right. It was not intended that women more than men should be idlers.

Time passes. By and by a baby is born to ot their love au angel of light has been sent to bless them. Then the young man vows again that whatever may betide him come.good or ill forgetful of others, he will ever be tender to the SWEET TOUNO MOTHER, 'j'y now so helpless, who, at the peril of her life, has brought to him this bud of promise. The young wife with diminished strength resumes her work, now increased by the cares of her first-born child. The years pass by, another and another and another child is born.

The cares of the young wife have increased a has left her cheek, her step has lost its elasticity, her health is broken. He is strong but thoughtless, while she, ambitious to do everything for his welfare, gradually sinks' under her increasing burdens. It was not the bearing of children which accomplished was because her burdens increased beyond her strength, and no help was provided her. Her life was all work and From early; morning till late at night, through the long days and weeks and she worked unceasingly. Nature was.

penalty was her life The young man had prospered, if property Is prosperity. He had gained in worldly goods, but as he stood by the open grave of her who had been his heart's the mother of his little ones, the patient servitor or his prosperity, how empty life seemed to him, how worthless the accumulations of his toil. I shall not enlarge on this topic, but I tell you there is TOO MUCH BEAUTY in the picture I have I stand here today. to plead for the farmers' wives. At best their life is one of privation.

Their work does not vary. It is the same to-day as yesterday, and to-morrow as to-day. Women were not designed for hardships and rough usage and should ever, be treated witn that tender care and. regard harmonizes. with their more refined It is the in- stinct of the men of our day to be brave and generous toward women, what decent man would not protect her honor or person, even at the peril of his own But in the cares and anxieties of life which surround us, we are apt to become careless of our wives the brave, loyal, loving women who make our homes happy, who inspire us with noble Jiurposes ana fill our hearts with love and oy unspeakable.

And so I plead for the for the children too.
