Newspapers ut the Centennial.

AT the Centennial Exhibition grounds
in Philadelphia Il building is in course
OF construction to be used solely for an
exhibition Of newspapers. II occupies
a conspicuous position near the minia-
ture lake, on Il line between the United
States Government building and Ma
chinery Hall.
Tho plan OF exhibition is an alphabet
ical arrangement Of partial files of each
newspaper or periodical published in
this country, in such % manner as will
make them instantly accessible, the
space devoted to each bearing Il label
with the name Of the publication print
ed thereon, and further designated by
a number, by means of which a strang-
er, upon reference to his catalogue, will
be able at once to approach the section
of she building where the particular
journal which he desires to examine
or refer to may be found. The cases
containing these files will be set up to
form alcoyes similar TO those in public
libraries tor the arrangement of books,
these alcoves forming long tiers, one On
each side Of the building, throughout
its entire length, a portion OF the space
between being reserved for the accom-
mediation OF attendants, leaving . pas
sage for the public eighteen feet is
width,~ extending trom one end Of the
structure to the other. The second
story, approached by four flights OF
stairs, is devoted to reading-rooms for
the accommodation more especially OF
newspaper men, and will be supplied
with convenieAces for correspondents.
\ catalogue giving the name Of each
newspaper, its frequency OF issue, and
the number which designates the posi-
ton allotted to it, together with such
statistical information rs will serve to
convey a comprehensive knowledge of
the nature and extent Of the business of
newspaper publishing in America, will
he issued in Il compact form, not differ
ing very much in size and appearance
from the official catalogues Of the four
departments Of the principal exhibition.
For the suggestion OF this exhibition
of journalism, in the full and complete
manner proposed, the press and the
public are indebted to Gen. joseph r..
Hawley, President of the Centennial
Commission, himself a newspaper man
OF large experience and advanced views,
who knows better than most men that
in this particular interest the United
States is not only in advance of any 9TH
or country, but that it furnishes more
and better papers, with a larger aggre-
gate circulation, than all of the other
nations of the earth combined.
The detail, however, of the arrange
mont, and the responsibility for its sue
cess, rest with Mr.. George p. Rowell,
known as the prilcipal source of such
newspaper statistics as the public has
been supplied with for a dozen years
past, and who is possessed of advantages
which enable him to those
obstacles which to a person of less ex-
perience might make the undertaking
one of serious difficulty Y. San.

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill a day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are SO
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they gripe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
