The crowds that disported themselves all over the city felt no dulling: of their appetite for mirth, and the peopje joined In all the frolic's of the day with unsubdued energy. As the streets before the main entrance black ened with thoee come to share the amuse ments of the Carnival, the great feature of the day was made plain to all. It was Baby day, and Baby dayixneant family day In the fullest sense of the word. Every fond mother was there with her gurgling: offspring tucked carefully under her arm in that mysterious fashion that mothers adopt as the only safe mode of conveyance. Then the father must come along, and of course brother and sis ter and grandmother and all the aunts were the escort. By the time the gates were wide open there was a cheerful pro cession three blocks long .already well on toward the band square. Think for a mo-, ment of 205 babies gathered. The confetti dealers; found their occupa-. tlon gone, for not a mother but looked fully equal to avenging any insult to the only perfect specimen of the human race.

Dur ing the whole afternoon gurgle and coo testified- to the good humor of the future citizens, and the judges looked official end the mothers displayed their darlings and the onlookers advocated the claims of their favorites. By 4 o'clock the crush around the tender exhibits was almost dangerous, and a policeman with thoughts of a child at home protected the young ones from suffocation. At last the judges- handed In their decision and the prize 3abes "were arrayed with their mothers on the band stand, that all might see. The evening was quite distinctly given over to the shows on the Midway. Here the fun and laughter were uninterrupted except by a moment of breathless sua pens when the climax of some perform ance bound all In an equal spell. After thl9 the Industrial section became the cen ter of attraction, and the Manufactures building was thronged with earnest stu- dents of 'home Industry. To many it eeemed a revelation that all the articles needed for a comfortable home could be "bought of home manufacturers; and no little jest passed between those who sought to run down Portland's products and the genial superintendent of the ex hlblts. To many It gave a depth to their feeling of merry good will that in the center of their -place of fun there Tose tho testimonies to the industry that had made prosperity and gladness a possibility to " all. The uniforms of visitors mingled with the sober dress of the civilian sight seers, and hundreds of strangers, viewed everything with an Interest wholly fresh. "When the gates finally closed the admis sions mounted well up towards the record. BABY SHOW THE ATTRACTION. Harrelons Exhibit of YoaBg Orego nlaxm Dratrs the Crowds. The baby show was a tremendously at' tractive feature, and Master of Ceremo ales George Wemple had his' hands full The entries began precisely at 1 o'clock and were closed at 2 o'clock. Within that time 203 sparkllng-eyed mothers entered their babes for what they felt was a very one-sided contest. The" variety of babies was Immense, and as the parents lined up in the shade of the ladles' headquarters the more sober-minded of the officials wondered where they all came front. And double the number entered were proudly toted around by their mothers just to see the show. Finally by 2 o'clock the entries were closed and the babies' were lined up a. triple row, with the numbers out. The three Judges, who were picked by Mr. Wemple from the crowd, wiped their fore- i heads and went to work. For two hours l and twenty minutes they stared into pink mouths, listened to bubbling coos, felt I chubby hands and harkened POUtely to I been investigated, the size of the task be came evident to these rash accepters of office, and they grew very solemn. But solemn faces could not be maintained under the smiling eyes of the warbling Infants, and all three werexery soon people with a vital Interest In babies could be termed such) followed the committee of judges around and frequently called their attention to some youngster that had been apparently passed over. As the Inspection progressed the appraisers of fondlings grew confidential and inquired knowingly about food and age and .teeth ing and kindred mysteries that pertain to the nursery. To all their questions prompt and full answers were given by the mothers, much to the enlightenment of the gaping crowd, whose respect for the gentlemen was vastly Increased by such a display of, familiarity. Finally the last bit of soft numanity had been scrutinized and the three re tired to consider their verdict. when Master of Ceremonies George "Wemple an nounced the prize-winners from the stand there were hearty cheers ror tne lucny ones and congratulations showered upon the utterly proud mothers. Every One seemed satisfied with the awards, and those mothers whose nurselings had been passed over beamed loving looks upon the wriggling morsels in their arms, ana knew that tho award was right so far as it went, but then men never could know all the virtues hidden behind those dtra nles. The prizes were especially choice. The first prize for the'prettlest girl, and the second for the prettiest boy, under 1 year of age, were handsome solid gold badges, with the date, the name or the contestant and the Elks" emblem. The other prizes were solid sUyer cup3 and boxes of candy. There was some discus sion as to whether triplets should be ad mitted to the contest for twins. It was stated that to permit a mother to enter a pair out of triplets was offering too much latitude, and would be unfair to those ho had no such supply to draw on. During the baby show the band played soothing airs, and the Carnival guards prevented too much crowding In upon the fragile displays. TO LOOP THE LOOP TONIGHT. John Larsen, the Rider, Will Attempt the Daring: Feat. John Larsen. the rider who loops the loop, wil make his first ride in Portland tonight at 9 o'clock. This will be Lar- sen's Hth time in this daring feat. His first attempt was In Minneapolis. Since that time he has done tho act nine times with three falls. He has not made the trip for a month and will be in fine condition tonight John Larsen is a stockily built fellow of 22, and shows the effects of his daring life. He does not anticipate any trouble tonight on his 90-pound wheel and attributes his former accidents to contingencies now foreseen and provided against. "My handle bars hroke with me last time," he said, "and I finished my ride around to within four feet of the end before I fell. Yes, it Is risky, but It's also a good deal of fun." Sheik Hadji Tahar affirms that the event will be pulled off right on time and that there will be no trouble. Queen to Attend the B'alcer." Tonight Her Majesty Maybeile I and her royal escort will occupy boxes at the Ba ker Theater to witness the performance of A Social- Highwayman," which is being presented by the Nelll Stock Company.

City Journal. The Harper Sentlnol has an account of a double wedding which took place In Harp er. the other day. The brides were gowned alike in dove-colored silk. "The grooms,' says the Sentinel, "were dressed in dark blue broadcloth sack-coat, low-cut ve,t. sailor pants, and patent-leather shoes, Now, in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress, what do you suppose those prairie boysvwere think lng cf when they donned those sailor pants? Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes a Stoic Congregationalism I notice that it has been pointed out by one commentator that his point of view Is like that of Marcus Aurellus, which Js not Inapt I have $et to hear or read an opinion of his which has lacked the Stole, and has the distinctly Christian note. In him we have a fine flower of rationalism. And he goes to take his place on the bench alongside of Roman Catholics like Justices White and McKenna, a stanch Presbyterian like Harlan, and our own orthodox Justice Brewer. CONFETTI THROWERS AT WORK IN THE CARNIVAL GROUNDS. n If! HIAMTV IW .mwTrTTl nill , TlUnLl 111 LUlllL J M , PRACTICE is A NUISANCE, BUT IT'S PROFITABLE TO SELLERS. Meanwhile the Public Tries to Grin and Bear It AH as Best v" It Can. The throwing of confetti 'al the Elks' Fair and the ethics thereof Is a subject that .Is jus now pretty generally dis cussed by attendants at the Elks' . Fair. No one claims that it is a polite ' cus tom; but there are many who think 1t is an innocent practice and do not reproach the management for allowing It to assume such general adoption. Others do think It is carried entirely too far,, and complain freely, about It The confetti gets down the back of the neck. In the nose,, ears and eyes. It Is ascertained that the sale of confetti " D0UC.H. is practically controlled by one man,' that his profits are very large, that the man agement gets half of what he- makes on the business, that. the throwing of the paper Is against the city ordinance, and that the public gets little or nothing for its money. , B. B. Rich, who has the concession- from the Carnival people to sell the stuff inside the ground has a contract with them by -which he gives them half of the proceeds from the business. He has about 15 boys working for him, and they sell many thousand packages in an evening, for 5 cents a package. He has a competitor, G. E. 'Meyers, who Is forced to do business outside the grounds, and it was stated in the Police Court Thursday that Rich was instrumental In having some of Meyers' men arrested on a trumped-up charge of blockading the streets. One of the boys was forced to put up bail to the amount of $200 a seemingly large, sum, when the fine could not be more than '$10. At the trial It developed that the boys were Inno cent and they were accordingly set free, after they hadjbeen subjected to, much in convenience. , Mr. Rich made the following statement yesterday: "The charge that I put up a Job on the fellows outside Isn't true. What little they sell don't make any difference to me, anyhow. They only pay 6 cents a pound, and I pay twice as much. " That's why they sell It cheaper. They sell pieces that are small, and they get In the eyes of the people who visit the fair, while my pieces are big and don't hurt anybody." A comparison of the two varieties failed to reveal any difference, and they both appeared to be identical."" Said Mr. Meyers: "The confetti is the same in both cases, and we pay the same price for it; that is, about 10 cents a pound. He is sore at me because I eell It for half as much as" he does, . but I can afford to do It because I don't have to pay any concession for selling it I don't care to get everything, anyway, as he does. There Is no doubt that he had something to do with the arrest of my five boys, and that he was Instrumental In having $200 ball asked. He stated that "he has made a compromise with me, but he never has." One man who is not interested in the matter said yesterday: "The profits for Mr. Rich are evidently enormous. It takes between 15- and 20" packages "of his;-stuff tj iu weign a pound, ana tna means - tnat It' sells for 75 cents and $1., when -it costs, him about 10-cents. It Is stated that, he' took In $800 Thursday night alone. The man .who sold. It at Seattle paid $1100 for the concession, and' he must have made a good deal when he could afford to dozthat"' ' That the throwing of confetti Is' against the city ordinances can be seen from the following selections' from the city laws: Ordinance 39S3,' section 9;- "Any person who shall throw, deposit or sweep Into -or upon any street, sidewalk or 'footpath In he.Clty of Portland any pper or other substance exceptvsnow,or the dirt result-7 lng .from travel, shall "hpon conviction thereof in the Police Court be fined not less than $5 nor more than $50." -Ordinance 7130. section. Sh. "No" person shall throw, or cause- to beAthrown Into or deposited on-aty public street, highway or grounds, or upon any private premises, or anywhere exqept 'such places as may be designated by the Superintendent' of Streets, any paper," etc Section 9: Any violation of this . ordinance shall be punishable by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $50." - . ' ELKS' MANAGERS SEEN IN The managers of various enterprises .In the Carnival do not approve of the way In which the confetti Is thrown, and two of them are quoted, as 'follows: Manager Richards, of the German Gar den: "It causes much trouble here. The people that throw U around come past here and throw It all' dver ,my bar and In the lemonade, so that It Is" "unfit to drink. Yesterday It got all over, my Ice. and I had a terrible time getting It cleaned oft. Then when the waiters are carrying beer around on the trays somebody will- throw a handful on the. ,beer, and then nobody wants to drink It, and I don't blame them. Some one has to suffer, however, and It ought to be the. people who throw the stuff. They are a nuisance to everybody." Manager Jabour, of the Midway: ''Well, It's all right If they, don't go too far; but they are certainly getting too free, with It now." ' One Chinawoman who was observed at the Carnival Tuesday night showed the proper spirit regarding the matter. Some Lhoodlum threw a handful of the little pa-. pers in her face, and she stooped and got a large handful of dirty sawdust from the street and threw it back at the mis creant From the appearance of some of those who were at 'the fair with their wives, her act was certainly- approved of.

In the history of cereal production there has never been such an enormous crop of cornias is being gathered In the United States this year It will aggregate 2.5S9, 951,000 bushels, or more than the entire corn crop of the world for 1901. The corn raised in the United States will be suffi cient to supply the needs of the worid for this and next year, even should there be a total failure In 1903, says" the' New Tork Sun.

Even then farmers further S8uth will not have finished husking the golden ears standing In their fields of brown. They know It makes little difference so far as prices' are concerned. A record of sales of corn In the past 10 years shows that the highest prices are obtained In ate Fall and Winter, and that prices are 25 per cent below the average Immediately after the gathering of the crop 'begins in the early Autumn. Last year the corn burned as It stood ripening In 'the fields, -Just a few weeks, before It had matured, but this season there have been n.p droughts In the corn section. Nor have there been any floods of a general nature. The; weather, In fact, has been Ideal for corngrowlng. The stalks have grown rank, the ears have spread and lengthened until 12-inch ears and 15-foot stalks are not uncommon In the corn belts.- . In Kansas they are telling of farmers getting lost in their cornfields. The crop of 1901 fell short of the expect ed yield bv 40" per cent; this year It goes ahead of the predicted yield by 10 or 15 per cent Eight states last year did not raise enough corn for home consumption. The exports fell short 8,000,000 bushels. The yield was only 16 bushels to the acre, and 4,000,000 acres were not cut at all. In 1S96 the -average yield was 28 bushels to the acre, except in Kansas, where It was 40 bushels. Kansas last year averaged 10 ROWDY. I bushels, or less to the acre. The Sun- 1 flower State always runs to the extremes. The acreage of corn this year Is much larger than last. It Is 3 per cent more or 102.S69.92S acres.. This large acreage is due to the fact that three and one-half million acres of wheat, sown the preceding Fall, had been frozen out and wpre ploughed up for corn. Consequently, these 3,000,000 acres, which are largely In Kan sas. Nebraska and Iowa, will not yield their" owners much profit, If any. The cost of the wheat plowed up was $6 an acre, and tho coat of the corn $5. The yield must therefore be above 30 bushels and yield 40 cents a bushel, to" profit "at all. This Is Improbable. So 3 per cent of the corn crop swill .yield nothing above the expense of sowing and gathering it. The principal :orn states are those of the Middle and Central States.

Corn Is. handled ln.a much different man ner than a dozen years ago. Then the man did all; now machinery does it Little corn is husked by hand; in fact most bf It Is gathered as Is wheat, husked hy ma chinery, and shelled by a patent sheller.

The corn stalks, with the ears, are stacked In rows by these harvesters, later they are hauled to a thresher or sheller, the ears torn from the stock, and the grain from Jhe cob. The cost Is very small. In 1900 the United States raised 2.000,000, 000 bushels of corn; In 19011.500,000.000 bush els. In 1S9B the crop was near to the pres ent bumper yield, makIng2,2S5",000,000 bush els. Last year, because of. the scarcity, corn sold at excessive prices. lit Kansas the fanners obtalned90 cents a bushel for the crop.. The average' price was 60 cents, The whole crop sold for '$929,555,768. In 1S99, when the crop was twice as large. tne price obtained by the farmers was $629,210,110. The value of the corn crops last year was $10 an acre, while In 1S96 the greatest corn year prior to this one $6 wasjthe average price obtained by the farmers.. In 1SS9 corn cold in some parts of the United States for 10 cents a bushel. the lowest price ever known. The corn crops of the United "States are worth from $600,000,000 to $300,000,000.' every year. The exports average from $175,000, 000 to $200,000,000 annually, or one-tenth of the yield. Only 25 per cent of the corn raised is exported from the states where It Is grown. Some states never raise enough corn to supply the home needs. The Mid' die West states are the principal corn pro ducers. Illinois is the. principal exporter. There are about 5.000,000 farms In the United States, of which 3,000,000 produce corn. The average cost of producing an acre of corn Is $5 73, divided in this way: Seed, 77 cents, planting, 78 cents; cultivat ing, $1 02; husking and putting In crop, $1 16; wear and tear of tools, 23 cents; rent of land or Interest on value, -$2 47. The average cost of production per bush el Is 14 cents, and during the last 10 years the average price of corn, to the farmer. has been 28 cents. The average yield In 10 years Is 20 bushels per acre, hence the profit upon corn land per acre can be reckoned at' $2 40H This is less than the profit on wheat, and for that reason corn, which has or many years been a popular crop, Is Blowly giving way to wheat But it will be a great while before the United States ceases to be the principal corn raising country of the world. LIVES AN EASY LIFE. L. Z. Letter, Who Made Great For- tnne in Chicago. Bar Harbor correspondence Indianapolis News, L. Z. Lelter, of Chicago, who Is spend lng the Summer here, has been ill, but is able now to drive out. Reports that Mr. Letter's condition was serious are denied by his closeTifends. Levi Zeigler Lelter was a clerk in country store in Maryland when he was a lad. He and Marshall Field met In Chicago shortly after the former came West to seek his fortune. The rise of Field and the rise of Lelter were colncl dent and In 1S65 the pair bought Into the business of Potter Palmer. The firm be came Field. Palmer & Lelter, and not long' after Field. Lelter & Co. The big West grew. Cities ..sprang up Railroad business was thundering over the prairies. Field, Lalter & Co. bought dry "goods and sent them all over the territory tributary to Chicago. Mr. Lelter worked like a horse, and had an. Inordinate appetite for labor. Meanwhile, .he bought real -estate. He didn't care to sell It, and the values en larged wonderfully with the Influx of pop ulation. His income from the profits of the dry goods business went on. But in 1S81 Mr. Lelter thought he would retire. He sold out to his partners. He had real estate to manage and then he wanted to travel. There was another consideration. He liked books, and, fortunately, he had money with which to buy them. He trav eled and added many treasures to his su perb collection. ' While Mr. Lelter has never sought or held office, he has taken pains to study politics -and social science in a careful way. He Is not inactlve'ln a religious life The American Sunday School Union Is one of his favorite Institutions. In so far as one man can spread his ef forts upon civic progress, Mr. Lelter has done a good share of work in pushing Chicago along. He Is one of Chicago': big men. For several .years he has lived in Washington for the benefit of Us soft climate, and has not appeared in the field of business. His living children are Jos eph Lelter, who engineered the great wheat deal against P. D. Armour In 1897 98, and lost $8,600,000; Mary, now Lady FELL FEET AND ESCAPED WITHOUT EVEN A BROKEN BONE. John Rogers Tumbles From the Root of a. Three-Story Building: to the Pavement A Ladder Breaks His Fall. f While working on the roof of a. three- story building on Detroit street, John Rogers, of No. 165 Alabama street, Cleveland, O., losth!s balance and fell 60 feet to the ground. He was drawing up gravel, and while leaning over pulling on the guy rope it broke and he fell. About 36 feet from the sidewalk he struck a ladder which stood against the building. This broke the force of his fall. But he fell upon the pavement head foremost and his fellow-workmen picked him up uncon scious. The ambulance was summoned and he was taken to St. John's Hospital, where It was fully 10 hours before he regained consciousness. No bones were broken, nor did he sustain any Inter nal injuries, as was first feared. To a reporter he said: "I grew very nervous as a result of my fall, and was fast running into ner- vdus prostration. I was under a doc tor's care, but did not get any real benefit, and I was becoming very much discouraged. "Then I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I could see a decided Improvement In a short time. and by the time I had taken eight boxes I was fully restored to health. That was over a year ago, and now I am perfectly well and. strong again, with nerves as sound as anybody's. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People curedT me" when doctors' medicines failed." The nervous system may be deranged from any of a number of causes. A physical shock, as was the" case with .Mr. Rogers, or a mental shock may bring it on. More common causes are worry, overwork, excitement, lack of rest and dissipation. Whatever the exciting cause, the results are largely the same and the remedy that cured the one will cure the other. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box, or six boxes for two dollars and "fifty cents, by addressing Dr. Will lams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Curzon. of India; Miss Nancy, who named the battle-ship Illinois, and Miss Daisy Lelter. Despite the losses of his son In 1897, Mr. Lelter, who paid those losses, Is estimated to be worth $20,000,000. most of It Inside Chicago real estate. His library of rare books Is valued at $250,000. Mrs. Lelter still lives and Is a prominent figure In Washington society. Mr. Lelter Is 69 years old. TIME CARD, STEAMER T. J. POTTER This week the O. R. & N. Co.'s steamer T. J.
