A GENERAL VIEW OF THE FAIR GROUNDS.be opened on Monday will be a well-rounded . and evenly balanced, exhibition.

Although cattle will be the central fea-ture of,the great show aud will to alarge extent absorb public attention,other departments of the fair have notbeen neglected and in every division therewill be more exhibits than ever before.

The fair is especially strong In amuse-ment features. The racing is of thehighest class; the specialties are selectedfrom the best the world has to offer andthe evening performances will conclude

with Pain's great masterpiece, the new"Last Days of Pompeii." These eveningentertainments have proved such a suc-cess that they will be made a permanentfeature of the state fair.

Vice President Theodore Roosevelt willopen the fair on Monday morning with anaddress on the agricultural resources anddevelopment of the northwest. Thespeech will be entirely non-political Incharacter and will be a voicing of Roose-velt's love for practical affairs and the

x-elfar'e of the common people. He knowsthe northwest well and is deeply.inter-ested in its agricultural development, forwhich-he sees a bright future.

can instruct, them, -they are well informedof the horrible night's occurrence, .inwhich one of the greatest cities in ancienttimes was buried beneath a sea of hissing,molten stone. ; :;;yy

But books, pictures and lectures cannotportray . the scene In all the grandeur itmust have possessed. H. J. Pain, of Lon-don, England, the most noted of all pyro-technists, conceived a representation of"The Last Days of Pompeii," a productionof which .will be given each night at thestate fair in all the magnificence of sceniceffects and realism possible to modern art.The production willbe something that willexcel anything every before attempted ina pyrotechnic and spectacular way;'com-plete in every particular, true In each de-tail to history, correct in Its costumes andgrand beyond any precedent in its en-tirety. ...".\u25a0.

Nearly 300 performers participate in therepresentation of | the fete day.; Romansports and pastimes are depicted by scoresof acrobats, tumblers,- specialties, etc. Apretty plat, founded on Lord | Lyton'sbeautiful novel of the same name, runsthrough the play, but' Interest naturallycenters upon the realistic crisis at thetermination of the fete day's sports.Frowning Vesuvius awakes from itstreacherous plumber, and with a terrificroar belches forth floods of smoke, lava,and pyrotechnics. The beautiful .temples,palace and public buildings fall one bx oneand devouring flames Complete their de-struction. j$ This scene is one of awfulgrandeur and realism. ;

Street Car Facilities.The state fair grounds can be reached

from Minneapolis in about half an hour.The management of the street railwaycompany has planned to put every avail-able wheel in motion next week and willrun cars as often as may be necessary.It is stated by officials that there Is plenty

of power this year and .that cars can berun at very frequent intervals. On Snell-ing avenue, near the fair grounds, thereIs a long track for storage of cars, whichwill be used to meet the rush of thecrowds after the close of performances.

\u25a0Cars of the Como-Interurban-Harrletline run directly from Lake Harriet downHennepin avenue and to the fair grounds.In addition to these regular cars there.will be a large number which will runfrom Sixth ?™ I Hennepin to the fairgrounds. Tf""iters from any other linesin the city will be good on these cars.

.; Admission to . the Fair.

To correct any misunderstanding Itshould be' stated that admission to thefair is 50 cents—just what it has alwaysbeen. For the evenings, however, therate is but 25 cents. This price of ad-mission goes into effect at 6 o'clock, sothat it is possible for the people who arebusy during the day to go to the groundsat 6 o'clock, see. the exhibits before 8and then take in the amusements at thegrand stand, getting the benefit of thelow rate. All the fair buildings are illu-minated at night except the cattle barns.

The Last Days of Pompeii.

LAST DAYS OF POMPEIIDescription of Pains' New Pyrotech-

\u25a0 nic Spectacle*.The spectacular dramatic performance

of the "Last Days of. Pompeii," whichwill be pepsentei each evening: at thestate fair, is a representation of the mostdireful disaster or' all hi-story, the"deathand burial of a city. '

When Vesuvius poured forth its deadlytorrent \u25a0of \u25a0 lava upon the ancient city ofPompeii, burying it under a mass of liquidstone, and destroying with pitiless forcethe thousands of happy people who dweltwithin the walls of the doomed place, criesof agony rent the lurid air, and all wasdesolation and misery.

This happened eighteen centuries ago.Excavators' researches have brought be-fore the world relics of the fatal city.Volumes have been written upon it, andpeople have come to know a great deal ofthe history of Pompeii.. So far as bookscan teach them, so far as lectures by rages

HIGH LIFE IN LOS ANGELES IN SUMMER"B. OB." Tells of the Glories of the Atmosphere and of the Sea-

Eternal Spring in Everlasting Summer—Hotels and HotelLife on the Pacific.

I Correspondence of The Journal. |Los Angeles, Aug. 6, 1901.—Southern j

California was never, before so filled withtourists during the dull summer months.Usually at this season of the year thecurio shops along the main streets putup their shutters and move Into cheaperquarters; hotel men do their house.clean-ing, the theaters, are .deserted, and thetownspeople live oft' each other. But thebands are still playing during the dinnerhour at the hotels; the streets are crowd-ed with"..shoppers,.,'and the \ newspaperstwang their ' editorial \\u25a0_ harps ... to \ thetune of prosperity and -contentment. Thereason for this change of conditions whichis becoming more sand\u25a0),. more apparentevery year is not far to seek. Easternersare slowly awakening to the fact that de-lightfula3 it is all aong the Pacific coastin winter, it is really, pleasanter in sumymer. The popular impression has beenthat California being so warm in wintermust be comparitively hotter during thedog days, but experience proves the con-trary. During the recent period of scorch-ing; heat all over the country, when the

| thermometer loitered along in the hun-dreds, it remained In the eighties insouthern California and dropped into thesixties, up north in the" vicinity of 'Frisco.

There Is relatively but little variationin the temperature;. but little more thanten degrees in the twenty-four hours. |Every afternoon by four o'clock _ a sea ;

breeze will, so cool the hottest day, thatat bedtime —anywhere from 10 p.m. to 5a. m. —you have'to sleep under a blanket. !Light wraps are worn almost every night,and fidglty people look out for J a draughteven in August. /

Then too, on a really hot day here thelocal article at its worst is not compara- \ble with the !damp and oppressive * heat Ithat has made the east so uninhabitable jthis summer. Owing to the lack of rainthe air is not charged with moisture; the !percentage of humidity is never, high,nor does the breeze come like a blast froma furnace.. Thunderstorms are almost asrare as angel's visits In this ever rose-blooming corner of, the' country, and cy-clones so unheard of that the people couldnot follow Lac/ Stafford's philosophicaldiscussion on what would happen If theIrresistible force struck the immovableobject. Yet in spite of the lack of rainthere is no dust, for an occasional ' fog icools the air, and lays the dust as well.

But to conclude this long talk on, the Iweather; the . following official table of |temperatures taken during the recent Iheated term will fully substantiate as jfacts the statements made above..

What to Eat.j The creature comforts of life are on a !

par with the climate. The "leading hotel !in Los Angeles," save for the fact that the \u25a0

markets are limited, compares favorablywith any hotel in New York or Chicago, jIt is well nigh impossible to get soft-shell jcrabs here, because they are not hardy !enough to stand the long journey, and die \on the way from the Atlantic seaboard. !Lobsters, too, are "cut" just at present, jbut willbe "in" again August 10. Not be- jcause there are no lobsters along the Pa- 'cific coast— with or without the shell— Irather for the reason that last .winter's Icrop of tourists so, ate Into .the crop of ,shell fish that the legislature passed a bill !prohibiting the lobster-potter from snar-ing during the summer months. The Pa-cific lobster by tbe* way is really, a hugecraw-fish, has no claws, but is as edibleas the Atlantic variety. | Then, too, youare served with eastern oysters even dur-ing the months without the1 S, the oysterbeing brought out here and planted. Asfor the small California oysters, they are

I good all the year around, and are always-

j served as the first course of a formal din-! ner or luncheon. But generally speaking

jthe sea food is neither si good or of suchi variety, in the Pacific, and 'attempts; to! plant ; Atlantic fish jjalong this coast have \u25a0

' largely resulted in failure, because theJ water, is so much more salty- than alongthe eastern shore. - - ; .- r Dove, pigeon and squab are about theonly 'game in the market just at present,and the j,Arizona;.meat is . so- tough and.unpalatable that the;best. cuts come fromChicago and Kansas \u25a0 City. But, on theother hand,:v. California raises fresh vege-tables all the year. There are few'daysin,', the, $65 when you are .denied' straw-berries .with., your ' breakfast; . firm, juicy

and about twice \u0084the „size of.1 the .easternberry. Cantaloupe and fresh corn have

-been-; in the* market since the latter 'part.

of April; new potatoes, green peas, andasparagus are among the staple.vegetablesto be. had most any time. . And .as forspring chicken, that sagacious bird has hishead on the block the year around, in thisland of almost perpetual springtime, whileyou don't have to wait until Thanksgivingfor your turkey. So thus what the mar-kets deny in sea food is made up for ingame and vegetables.

'•Going In for Sport."

If you care to go In for sport it's but athree-hour journey to Catalina, where wild

, goats are to be had for the shooting,though the sport of sports for. sports isfishing for the big Tuna. Old fishermenof the Grover Cleveland type claim thatone never knows the delights of fishingbefore landing a Tuna, and that the mostexperienced of the Atlantic watermen failin their first attempts. The tuna is saidto be the gamest fish that swims, and get-ting a tarpon into the boat is as tame bycomparison as old maid to-. poker. \ Toland your fish within an hour after you'vehooked him is a record to be proud of,it taking. on an average of from two tothree hours. So the tournament just fin-ished under the auspices of the CatalinaTuna club proved most exciting to thoseinterested in that sort of thing, the con-testants coming from all parts of the coun-try to take part in the tourney. The Tunaclub is not an exclusive organization; infact it's democratic in theory, but to be-come a member of the club you must havelanded alone and unaided as the circusannouncer would say,— a tuna weighing atleast 150 lbs. And mind they don't takeyour word for the weight jof the fish, —else the club would have a larger member-

jship. The catch must be made under cer-i tain restrictions as to weight of rod, reelI and line, and the weighing done under thejeye of the, keeper of the great seal, which

i is the sad sea dog name for a land sharkweighmaster.

Fun at the Theaters.But If you prefer remaining on shore

and letting the other fellow work so longovertime at sea, that he'd strike forshorter hours if compelled to find hispleasure fishing, there's enough of quietamusement in town. At the Los Angeles

l theater during these dull summer monthswe've had. Henry Miller in a round of

I plays, Including "D'Arcy of the. Guards,"| which he is trying on the California dogjbefore opening in New York. But the dog

j did not fancy the dish particularly, and itj will hardly dod for New York. BlancheBates followed in "Under Two Flags,'

jand made : a pronounced individual hit,; the fact of her being a Californian draw-ing really brilliant audiences to the

! theater on the opening night beg pardon1 premier. - The Titian-haired Leslie Carteras'Zaza gave the Angellnoa'three nights'illustration on how to break the seventhcommandment, — get away with It,—and now we are threatened with an in-vasion of the. Frohmans. Charles Froh-man's Empire Theater .company opens

i next Monday, night,. presenting for thefirst time out of. New York "Mrs. Dane'sDefense," and: Brother <M Dan follows in

j"Lady Huntsworth's Experiment." . y*yAj 'At the* Burbank, .which supports stock

i companies in standard plays, season afteri season, James Neill and his companyi have just concluded a most profitable: seven weeks' engagement. ' The Pacific; coast Is, properly speaking,, the home ofstock companies and it is no small credit

! to.Mr. Neill that, since entering this; field he has won for.himself and company! a place second to none. His productioni of "Barbara Friietchle" In particular Is aj most ambitious undertaking for a stockj manager,, but the results both from an1 artistic and box office point of view spokeI for.'themselves.-standing room being at apremium during "Frietchle" week.

'.'-/ i. y - Wonder* of .the Sea.

But for the past month the- sea hasi been giving a sort of continuous perform-i ance, which as a spectacle rivals any stagei picture ever devised. About three weeksj ago people along the shore hereabouts

> noticed that the; color of the/sea was• changing,'lnstead of green it was becom-I ing more and more of a mud-red hue, thei ocean- for acres presenting' a marvelousi sight, the well-defined belt'of red lying

\ off shore, coming nearer at times, fluctu-ating with* the tides./ At night it was dis-covered that the waters ablaze withlight. Flames seemed to leap from everywave, and when the surf piled up on theshore, the spectacle was truly grand.Special trains were put/on at one of theresorts; divers were, employed/ to ... leapfrom the piers, and appeared to be swim-ming in molten metal, and came out of thewater dripping with liquid Are. Varioustheories, were, put forward to account forthe phenomena, every movement of thewater, 5 like the touch of Midas, turning Itto gold. The /most plausible explanationseems to; be that the . phosphorescence Iscaused' by!. countless '' luminous,'/; animal-

Doings at thePan-American

Correspondence of The Journal.Buffalo, N. V., Aug. 31.—The past has

been an unusually quiet week at thePan-American, relieved only *• by thesteadily Increasing attendance, the aver-age for the week not being far from 70,---000, not including Sunday, when' the at-tendance always 'way below that ofweek days, in spite of the 25-cent admis-sion. j Three . new shows . have started upon the Midway and one of them has al-ready had time to "bust." This makesforty-seven Midway attractions. \u25a0 -The West Point cadets left for schoolon the evening of the 28th, their furloughexpiring on the 29th. During their briefstay they attracted all sorts, of favorablenotice and gave daily drills either out onthe grounds 'or in the : Stadium. Whileat the exposition they visited the breed-ing, farm of a local horse fancier and inthe fullness of his good feelings he gavethe corps a fine stallion, valued at $5,000.The boys took the horse with them whenthey left and hope to be allowed to starta breeding farm at the Point, where themuch-sought-after perfect cavalry horsemay be bred by the government. ThisIs the first stallion ever owned by theUnited States government.

Mrs. W. S. Pattee, wife of Dean Patteeof the university law school, her sonRichard and daughter paid the expositiona four-day visit the latter part of theweek. .

entered and the show attracted much at-tention.

From Aug. 26 to Sept. 7 will be giventhe Pan-American swine . show In thesouth division of the cattle sheds. Ninebreeds of swine are being shown.

James MacMullan of Minneapolis, su-perintendent for the Minnesota board ofmanagers, was absent for several days ona trip to Charleston, S. C., where helooked over the forthcoming exposition tobe. held there. Mr. MacMullan is enthu-siastic about the Charleston exposition,which begins immediately after the close,of the Pan-American, but the board ofmanagers will probably not make any ex-hibit from Minnesota there.

Charleston's exposition officials havebeen striving in every way to get all theexhibitors possible to display at theirshow after the close of the Pan-Ameri-can. Efforts have been made to induceMinnesota to take space or build a build-ing, but there is little prospect thatanything will be done.

Special invitations for President's Day,Sept. 5, will shortly be out. The affair,because of the expected crowd, will belargely governed by Invitations, and It isexpected that this may prove the largestday of the exposition, though New YorkDay may exceed it.

The 1 attendance from Minnesota stillholds up well, 267 having registered at theMinnesota building Sunday to Wednesday,Inclusive, from the state. Of this num-ber 92 registered from Minneapolis, 67from St. Paul and 108 from the state atlarge. Minneapolis, at least, did hershare. . • ..\u25a0 • '\u25a0: y \u25a0 \u25a0

One of the employes in the repair shops

of the .St. Louis Park car line, at St.Louis Park, Is something of a practicaljoker as well as a practical electrician,

and recently devised a scheme which hasgiven him no end of. merriment> eversince and which incidentally has provedof direct benefit both to himself and jtohis friends. ...

Four men are employed in the shops,and, at the close of a hot day's work,they have frequently found that their sup-ply ofdrinklng '•water has been Insuffi-cient to; meet the' demands made upon It.The tank stands in one corner of the of-fice, and is—or rather | was—patronized byevery thirsty man who chanced in. The.practical -joker, however, \u25a0 like the Frenchking, has-changed all that.

Yesterday ' afternoon two of the boyswalked in and asked for a drink. Thejoker smiled delightedly.

"Why, sure!" he said. "Help yourself."

culae,, which grew brighter and brighterwith' decomposition. " That is, the seashines and smells, and the more it shinesthe worse" it smells, for the odor finally

became, so offensive as to drive manycottagers back to. town, and just aboutthe time they were settled, presto! thephosphorescence was gone in a singlenight, and the Pacific had taken on itsnormal' deep green coloring again. Butthe scientists; are still wrangling overcauses and "effects, one faction -claiming

that an infinitesimal bit of still life calledthe salpa— modest name for a scientist —Is responsible for Itall. "Some years theyare scarce, but this season seems favora-ble to their production. They form lachains and come drifting in looking likenecklaces of gleaming '• diamonds, y andwhen broken up by the sea, take on thecolors of a prism, the nucleus of the ani-mal being the seat of light.| The ordinarycolor Is green, but melts into red, whichshows phosphorescent at night. \u25a0* !

However, the ordinary layman, not be-ing troubled over scientific • explanations,

took the phenomena as he found it, with-out question, and doubtless ; enjoyed -thesight fully as 5 much 'as "the * fellow! who'thought "J himself .*,*", specially *ordained byProvidence *to explain everything. :T

One of the youngsters walked over tothe tank, picked up the cup and turned onthe water. A minute later his arm gavea convulsive twitch, he Jumped quicklyto one side, and then, with apparent de-liberation, threw the contents of the cupfull In his friend's face. .

Naturally the second boy got angry."What the blazes 'dyou do that for?" heyelled. Then, he too, picked up thecup and rushed toward the tank to se-cure ammunition with which to retali-ate. :'"-.•- .' y \u0084.-'-'

Again the joker smiled. He reachedover and pressed a conveniently situatedbutton, and the second youngster dancedup and down with even more agility thanhis friend. The surprise of the boystickled the joker to such an extent "thathe relented and gave them some waterhimself. , \u0084.'.',"- - .- - ,

Two thin copper wires connecting thecup with a battery explained the sourceof the shocks received by the boys.
