mistaken if the showing of its results
next November is not at least reasonably
satisfactory.
The cataract in the annex to Mach
inery Hall will be in operation on Mon
day next. The sheet of water is thirty
three feet in length and has "a fall of thir-
ty-five feet. The great Krupp gun will ar
rive on the ground to-day. Its arrival
has been delayed owing to its immense
weight and the necessity for precautions
in strengthening the roadway and
bridges over which it will pass. The
gun weighs eighty tons and the carriage
on which it rssts ten tons. Over thirty
wagon and carloads of machinery were
delivered in Machinery Hall on Thursday.
In this department Russia is erecting
extensive partitions in order to utilize
the wall space.
The new steam elevator in the south
western tower supporting the centre of
the Main Exhibition Building, now
completed, was tested on Thursday and
will be put in operation for the public
on Monday. The panoramic view from
the top of the tower, which is l30 feet
high, is one of the most beautiful and
extensive in the United States, and on q
clear day takes in almost the whole val
ley of the Delaware.
The State buildings and other minor
edifices about the grounds are progress
ing rapidly to completion. The Califor-
mia building will be opened about the
middle of June, when all the State neg
lected in the Main Building will be dis
played there. The opening day is to be
commemorated by banquet to the
Press, at which Marx Twain, as a rep
resentative of Pacific coast journalism,
will ofiiciate as master of ceremonies.
One of the most distinguished person
ages within the whole enclosure is sold
Abe" the war eagle, whose sudden
fame of twelve years ago has proved
more enduring than that of most of his
human comrades in arms. He sits upon
his perch all day long with the dignified
mien of the renowned veteran that he IS.
Although but fifteen years old he has
seen three years actual service and been
through fifteen battles. 1t is good re-
cord. and he is Justly proud Of it.
The week inst upon us will be quite a
notable one. Besides the occurrence of
Decoration Day, which will be duly OBJ
served, several excursions are to occur.
Tuesday just mentioned is the day fixed
for the opening of the Bankers Build
ing Department.. To this occasion at
least thousand bank officials and en-
ployes are expected from New York
alone and is probable that at least as
many more will come from other points.
On the same day a large number of
Knights Templar, including nearly all
the Communicates of New York and
Brooklyn, are coming over for the great
parade of the Order, which is to take
place during the week. Other bodies
are expected.
As is very natural, the light fingered and
burglarious fraternity considered Phila-
delphia as their lawful prey, and they
have swarmed there in consequence like
bees to a clover patch. And not only
our own ''sweH mob is utilizing the
Centennial, but foreign lands have all
furnished their quotas of this undesira-
BILE exhibit. So when you go just put a
little Spaulding's glue on your pocket
book beforeputtingit in your pocket, and
tie your watch chain around one of your
ribs, or you will be likely to mourn a
loss. RADIX.
