Increase Not So Great Proportionately as That of New York. Washington, September 17 The population of Shicago is 2,185.283, an increase of 4S6.708, or 2S.7 per as compared with 1,698.573 in 1900.

This announcement leaves Chicago raking in population as the second city of the United States and the fourth in the world. Chicago has almost doubled Its population since 1890, when the figures were 1,099,850. Its greatest growth during that period was between 1890 and 1900, when there was an increase of 64.4. Its increase In population during the past decade was not so great proportionately as that of New York, the rate of increase being 10 per cent, less than that scored by the Eastern city. New York is yet ahead of Its closest rival by 2,581,550.

321 THE BICGEST OF CROWDS Only Two Arrests Made, Fun Is Allowed to Have Free Rein. and AM EC0N0P0ULY IN TOILS. Brother of Former Mardi Gras King Charged With Felonious Assault After Hotel How. The greatest of all the Mardi Gras festivals ever held at CoDey Island camo to an end about sunrise this morning. when the last of the revelers boarded trolley cars and trains and wended their way homeward after a night such as the greatest seashore resort In the world has seldom known.

It was evident from the attitude of the police officials that the public could have as much fun as It liked, providing that no flagrant offenses were committed. There were 800 policemen on hand to take care of the crowd, which was estimated at 400,000, and up to mldnlgb' there were only two arrests. One of the prisoners was Peter eEo-nopouly, a brother of John of the same name, who was king of the Mardi Oras three years ago. Peter, who is interested with his brother in the Hotel Brooklyn on the Bowery, was locked up on a charge of felonious assault, made by William W. Quigley of 460 West Eighteenth street, Manhattan, whose head was cut open so badly that the surgeon from the Coney Island Hospital had to take several stitches in it.

It was alleged that Econopouly had struck Quigley with a rtalr, after first hitting him with a cane. According to the story told by Quigley, he had come to the island with his wife and two friends. Mrs. Quigley had become oeparated from him for a few minutes and found her. at the door of the Econopouly place, flrio became slightly hysterical and began to cry.

She asked Econopouly If she might sit down and he, It is said, told li-r that she could have a chair if she would buy a giass of beer. Borne further words were exchanged, and then Qulgiey tame up. Mrs. Quigley told her husband that Econopouly had vaulted her. and when Quigley demanded an explanation, the incident of the chair, cane 'and split followed.

only other person arrested was a ISjan giving hits name as Michael O'Leary, 24 years old, a machinist of 462 Seventeenth street, who was arrested on the Bowery for using uncommonly rough tac tics in forcing a quantity of green confetti down the throat of a pretty girl with whom he was not acquainted; Even the hospital was not kept busy lust night, the only case beside that of Quigley, being that of a woman who became hysterical when one of the cars on the "Drop the Dip" jumped the track. She was taken to the hospital and given something to steady her nerves. Crowd Came Bather Late. With these more or less insignificant exceptions, the evening passed off in a perfect whirl of gayety and fun. The crowd came down ratter late, most of the people arriving between 9 and 10 o'clock.

There was no parade last evening, following the custom of past years, the pageant being held in the afternoon for the kiddies who were there by tens of thousands and enjoyed themselves to Ihel rhearts' conent, pelting each other with confetti and having fully as much fun as the older children who have thronged the island every night. Surf avenue was a solid mass of people from the Ocean Parkway to a point beyond Steeplechase Park. Nearly half a million people laughed ecreamed. shouted, rang bells, tooted horn3, threw tons of confetti at one another and enjoyed what was, to the great majority of them the novel experience of rutting loose from conventionality and not caring much Just what happened as long as no bones were broken. Girls who in town are as demure as Quakeresses pulled the neckties of sirange young men.

and giggled gleefully as they saw the effect of this new stunt, which was the fad of this season's larking. Even girls with escorts didn't seem to Tnind It If their arms were taken by youths that they had never son before, providing that the familiarity was not tip beyond a moment or two. and the escorts. Just to get even, would it the meantime he chucking some girl riar by under the chin, and if the girl laughed, as It. is quite likely she did.

the laugh was echoed promptly with a fistfull of small pieces of colored paper. In former years it was customary for the police to begin to chase the roys-ferers in the direction of the care at 1 o'clock, but it was announced last night that the crowd could keep up its fun-making Just, as long as it pleased, and it is likely that many of the noisiest ones have not reached home yet. The six hundred poll eaien, by the way. who have been on duty from 6 P.M. to 5 A.M.

every evening during the great week will have thlrty-Bix hours off as a reward. There were not as many automobiles usual at the island last night, but those that did come down carried very Jolly parties that entered into the spirit of the occasion with great zest. Each machine was provided with a feed bag full of confetii, which pretty girls took great delight in showering upon their lc6s fortunate "brethren and sistern" using shanks' mare. Tally-ho parties were on hand by the score, and one crowd even resurr'ecicd one of the old Hamilton stages thai were formerly the delight of the ward association chowder parties.

Only the long delay in sending up the first balloon, due to failure to have the bis- atas baas oronerly Inflated and tbd baskets provisioned' on time, marred the start of the grest contest. The air crafts, when loosened from their moorings, floated upward, and only in one or two cases was lt necessary for the pilots to drop ballast to attain a proper height to get away on their Journey. All of the balloons traveled to the northeast with the exception of America II, which took a more easterly course. The American championship race, which Is for endurance and distance, is to select representatives for America in the International event, which will start from St. Louis a month from to-day.

Dlstsnce Is the goal of tbe four balloons entered in the free for all contest and a diamond studded cup the reward.

Miss Sophia skimmed the ground and the' crew was kept busy throwing out ballast until the speedway fence was reached. Closely following Miss Sophia, Indiana II also in the championship race, was set adrift at 6:05 with Carl G. Fisher, pilot, and George L. Bumbaugh, aid. Dr.

L. E. Custer, In the Luzerne of Dayton, entered in the free-for-all, started alone at 5:10, and making a greater height than any of his predecessors, staited to the northeast. Tbe Million' Population Club balloon was cheered loudly by the St. Louis delegation as it was sent upward at piloted by Louis Von Phul and assisted by Joseph Rellly.

The Danoon aiter ascending began to come down, but the crew, dumping ballast, soon started lt up again, and lt followed the others, going a little to the north. The little Topeka, in the free-for-all, carrying E. S. Cole, pilot, and F. M.

Jacobs, aid, rose slowly at 6:46 and floated to the northeast. The slight Breeze naa died down, and the last four balloons sturted were still in sight traveling slowly. The Topeka was the last free-for-all entry to start. The Hoosler, carrying Charles Walsh, Kingston. N.

and Captain Reber, United States Signal Corps, who is here to represent the government, started off at 6:50 in pursuit of the other ten balloons, six of which were then lost to sight. The old University City, piloted by Captain John Berry of St. Louis, left the grounds at 5:29 and floated to the northeast. On account of the leaky condition of the balloon Berry entered the free-for-all event Instead of the championship race. Captain Berry won the last American championship race in tbe University City.

At 5:38 tbe Pennsylvania, in the championship piloted by Arthur T. Atherholt, assisted by Conyers B. Orahan. both of Philadelphia, sailed "off in the direction taken by most of tie other balloons. The Centennial (formerly the SL Louis) closely followed the Pennsylvania, starting at 6:40.

BROOKLYN 80-82 Wall Street MANHATTAN PURE FOOD EXPOSITION STARTS Under Patronage of Associated Clubs of Domestic Science. Many Attractive Exhibits at Madison Square Garden Love a Necessary Ingredient in Cooking. For many years New York has not known a pure food exposition to start under more favorable conditions, or witn such Indications of success as that which opened yesterday at the Madison Square Garden under the patronage of the Nev York City Branch of the Associated Clubs of Domestic Science, and under the personal direction and co-operation of the publishers of the National Food Magazine. Very little floor space remains, and the booths that are Ailed represent large Interests in an unusually attractive manner. The general decorations are elaborate, and every exhibitor was ready promptly to entertain the many hundreds who attended.

Mrs. Winnlfred Harper Cooley opened the Exposition with an address of welcome which emphasized the importance of a pure food congress and the educa tion of the public in general to a proper appreciation of the. value of domestic science. The Madison Square Garden Band furnished the music. CooKing demonstrations with lectures and stereopticon illustrations were the principal feature of both afternoon and evening programmes.

In the afternoon the domestic service symposium included Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's views on "Capital and Labor in the Hope." Mrs. F. A. Paulson, president of the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs.

Not that the cook should, necessarily, be In love with tho policeman, coachman or butler, but that she should, above all else, be in love with her profession, if not with the people for whom she cooks. Unless she loved to make bread her bread would not be an unquallAed success.

Mrs. Nellie Dullng Cans of Chicago took Issue with Mrs. Chapin on the Bub- ject. of love and created amusement by insisting that the most successful dinner she had ever cooked was for the people she hated most and at a time when she absolutely hated to cook. A most striking exh'blt is that furnished by the United States Commlsary Department, which flanks the entrance to the exhibition on the left.

A complete battleship cooking equipment, including rotary dough mixer, potato peeler, ces beater, bread sheers, and all the con-Irivances for easy cooking, exact of those on the Massachusetts, are shown. Midshipmen and Bailors are present to give Interesting descriptions of how Uncle Sam's ja kles cook and are cooked for. At the right, the army Is in equal evidence, with complete Aeld cooking arrangements, folding utensils, and soldiers busy at work as though In camp. The Little Mothers' Exhibit was surrounded by a large crowd throughout the day and evening. The little girls, all neatly uniformed and under direction of their teacher made biscuits and gin- i ger ibread.

Photographs of the Instltp-tiona nd exhibitions of sewing and laundry work taught there are equally Interesting. Of the many booths of interest to housekeepers that of the Duntley Manufacturing Company took the lead.
