Morris Mostel, a New Orleans Ger
man, thinks that the Enoch Arden
business is not what it is cracked up
to be. Seven years ago he married
Miss Weber, was drugged on the
day following his wedding, robbed,
pressed aboard a German vessel,
drafted into the German army, and
finally returned to find his wife gone
to parts unknown. He put in two
years Of search for her, and now has
n letter from her to the effect that she
had married again but would like
nothing better than to be taken back.

The Louisville exposition is run
ming a fairly successful course, but
suffers from some bad management
and needs 4 larger city or a more
dense population on the railroad lines.
The exhibition is large and valuable,
and Of course in many departments,
mainly northern, while the attend
ance includes many from a distance
and is probably as large as could rea-
sonably have been expected. The
worst mistake made in the manage
ment was the common one of open
ing with the show half ready, and this
was unusually aggravated. For a
month after people were invited to
pay their half-dollars oEe-third of the
space was unOccupied, and of course
this made something like dash of
water for the whole enterprise. The
Southern exposition" is, however,
not unworthy successor to the At
lanta cotton fair, and will encourage
the managers Of the "WorId's cotton
centennial exhibition" at New Orleans
next year.
