North Carolina Exposition.

Work on the Exposition building is pro-
crossing with satisfactory rapidity. Mr..
Ashley, who has the work of construction
in charge, says that unless some unfore-
seen disaster comes, the building will be
entirely finished and ready in good time.
Applications for space continue to come
in from from desirable persons both in and
outside Of the State.
The exhibit of fish that will be made
was never excelled on the continent per-
haps; and surely it will be brand new
thing in North Carolina.
On Tuesday Bill Arp made a visit to the
grounds, and asked many questions about
the outlook for show. "And am coming
up to see you all, then, if it is within the
range of possibility and of Mrs. Arp's con
sent" he said; 4'and I will try to bring as
many Of your kinsfolk in Georgia to SET
you AS I can" -"

THE WEST ANGRY.
INDIGNATION OF THE REPUBLI.
CANS WHO HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT.
The York Ticket Gets Itself Into Trou-
bic Mighty Early in the Campaigns
Not Smooth Sailing Ahead.

Special Correspondence Of The Chronicle.
: AsHEvILLE, May 1O.-The row made here
on Wednesday night in the Republican
camp is not likely to cool down while the
Summer lasts. The ratification meeting
was called really by the Republican bosses
the revenue men; and right here Is
where the joke comes in. Mr.. Bell went
forward and made his speech precisely as
if all were going well-and so far as any
body knew all promised to go we'll. But
he ran against snag. His eulogy of York
pretty plain that York had not attended
Republican caucus in Washington.
By this time the offended Republicans
had got up courage enough to turn the
whole meeting their way. Then Mr.. Thos.
Gambler interrupted Mr.. Ball, and Mr..
Ball found his eulogy of Yoriz made to a
Republican audience about as lard a piece
Of work as he had recently tried 1t was
openly charged that the votes of Haywood
and Buncombe counties in the Republican
counties were cast for York against the
wish of the delegates-a charge that has
since led to a number of sexplantions. :"
But no explanation can get this dissatis-
faction away Mr. William Gambler
who refused place on the State ticket at
Raleigh, made strong arraignment of
the whole procedure, and announced him
self-a Republican candidate for Congress.
Mr.. Lusk declared that the Republicans of
the State have been cheated numerically,
and that Republican ticket will yet be
nominated. So it was, the Liberals came
to whoop and went away regretting they
had ever thought of such meeting.
There is one thing that the coalition
bosses may count on as certain. The par
ty divisions up here are not of the same
kind as in the East-where the Republi-
cans are negroes or office seeking white
men generally ready for trade. These
Western Republicans believe in the Repub-
lican doctrines, and are an awfully inde-
pendent set of men They feel that they
have been traded away. And, unless an un-
expected change comes, the West will roll
! up good deal bigger vote against York
| than it did against Buxton. @.

will be the Mammoth Worlds EXposi.
tlon At New Orleans Next Winter.

The Cotton Centennial and Worlds In
dustria1 Exposition to be held at New Or
leans next winter is making rapid progress
There are more than SIX hundred men at
work on the great buildings, and appli-
cations for space continue to embarrass
the management from the extreme North
western territories, the Western States
and the Central American States. British
Honduras viii make magnificent display
of rare plants and flowers and Of tropical
birds In fact the exhibits that will be made
by the the South American and Central
American governments will be new things
to visitors from every part of the world.
Since worlds fairs began to be held nc
such thing has ever been shown or seen as
the richness and variety of tropical pro
ducts which will there be shown.
Since the House of Representatives las,
week passed the bill to lend 81 900, 900 to
the exposition, it has been made known
that majority of the Senators are favor
able to it, and that President Arthur will
take great pleasure in signing it.
Such show as will be seen in New Or
leans next winter was never before seen in
the world. 1t is ho,aa1 that as many oi
our people will go as possible can. It vii
be one of the most instructive and one oi
the most pleasant trips that was ever offer
ed to the people of North Carolina.

Definite Information About the Delight
full Programme that has been Arranged.

=
full Programme that has been Arranged.
This gathering which the North Carroll
ma Teacher has worked up for the enjoy
ment and improvement of the teachers of
the State, promises to be OF unusual inter
est. The Chautauqua, as it is called, will
be held at Haywood White Sulphur
Springs, near Waynesville, from June 10th
to July 1st, and every arrangement has
been made that will provide entertainment
and instruction for all who attend. The
following very low round trip rates Of fare
have been given by the railroads and they
are lower than have ever before been OBJ
tanned by any organization or convention.
From Goldsboro $12. 20; Raleigh, Dur
ham, and Chapel Hill $40. 70; Greensboro,
High Point and Charlotte, So 90; Winston
SO. 90; Salisbury SO. 90; Statesville $3.50
Special rates will also be given by other
roads in the State. s...
Board will be furnished in Waynesville
from So. 90 to $500 per week and at the
Springs for Sc. 90 per week, which is a re-
duction of about one half and makes the
expenses of the trip but little more than it
will cost to spend the same time at home,
The privileges of the Chautauqua are
extended to every teacher and friend of
education and the indications point to a
very large attendance. There will be sew
eral prominent educators from other States
and all the questions for consideration
will be of the greatest Importance to the
teacher and the cause of education in
North Carolina.

The failure of General Grants banking
firm Grant & WarD in New York contin-
ues to excite great deal of talk in the
metropolis and in the newspapers of the
whole country. The liabilities Of the firm
are set down at 1O,000,O 900.
There is a general expression of sympa-
thy for General Grant himself. 1t seems
that he knew little about the firm and
paid little attention to it. He went into
the business for, the benefit of his sons,
and he seems to have thought that Ulysses
Grant, jr., was an excellent business man.
The fact comes out lthat the firm had a
splendid chance to do a magnificent busi-
ness which was ruined by young Grants
speculative tendencies.
A bill has been introduced both in the
Senate and in the House to place General
Grant on the retired list, in order to set
him on his feet again financially. But he
is not in want. The fund of $3.50, 900
which was raised and invested for him by
Mr.. Geo. Jones, the publisher of the New
York Times is safely invested, and the
General receives the interest on it. The
Senate has passed the bill to retire him
with pay of General.
Much has been said about the effect OF
the failure on his Presidential chances
But, since there was really no chance fol-
him in politics, this part of the discussion
does not create any great excitement.
I 1t is seldom that men are great in more
ways than one. AS statesman and as {
! business man General Grant cannot be pu
down as successful. It is unfortunate fol

Say our Women are Not Thrifty
From the Charlotte Observer

dancing with delight came in to show us
a treasure that he had just bought in the
way of rock from the Garden of Eden.
1t looked like small piece of slate, was
highly perfumed with musk and packed in
a small paper box. He had bought it
from white woman, who told him that
she was from the Garden of Eden and was
the only living agent for the sale of the
rocks. She had IL whole raft of them put
up in paper boxes and sold them at ten
cents each. She sold about 100 in Charlotte.
We tried to buy his rock, but he resolute-
ly refused ten times its price and departed
leaving trail of musk behind so strong
that our foreman was almost knocked
down by accidently running into it.

NEW YORK SIGHTS.
The Place Where the Most Dinners Dis
appear in the Shortest Time.

Special Correspondence Of The Chronicle.
New YORK, May lahore dinners dis
appear in a shorter time in the Astor
House rotunda every day perhaps than
anywhere else in America. In the large
room there are two high semicircular eat
ing counters, and around each end of the
room other larger ones. From 10 till Is
o'clock every day these are crowded and
when I write ''crowded" I mean it. The
counters turn at every point, so that only
a few inches are required for each person.
And no person requiring more than few
| minutes, what an incalculable quantity Of
| food disappears
Agrey-h haired father in the Israel Of trade
I comes in with breathless haste, thinking
1 not about lunch, but about his flock of
''lambs," and the dinner goes down be-
| fore he finishes his mental calculation. A
| blunt business man makes equally short
work of satisfying the annoying necessity
! of the flesh. A clerk swills his soup in
five minutes in order to get an extra five
minutes of leisure. Jew, Gentle, lOafer,

| species of the male human animal eats

mechanical act, so quickly done that it is
done before good old Methodist blessing
could be asked in the land where you 'uns''
live. I have known it to be tried time
and again, but never yet with success-tO
take lunch there slowly. The Astor House
food will not do under slow treatment.
1t is prepared especially for rapid con-
sumption. Moreover, you are waited on
in the twinkling of an eye, and another
fellow stands behind you waiting for your
place. 1t would be an insult to everybody
concerned to eat slowly. You would be
reckoned bankrupt. Anything like de
liberate speed would attract attention ID
such a crowd, and the community would
regard you with distrust.
The twenty minutes misunderstanding
dinner has been superseded entirely by
this To consume 20 minutes would be
an insult to your stomach The moment
you enter the rotunda your digestive ap-
paratus braces itself up for quick job.
To feed it slowly would be a disappoint-
ment which no generous man would lnfilct
on his digestive organs. Besides, 1t
would be an additional trouble that you
would put on the genial detective who
moves about unknown to the crowd to de-
tect the wretch who would eat and &C
without paying. If you eat slowly his
suspicious would at once be aroused, anC
, you might even be elected.
Yet it is one of the most satisfactOr,

They made new town one day last
week in Northern Alabama, and called it
Sheffield. There isn't yet building there.
But at a sale on one day 11e lots were sold
for $780, 900. Five thousand people were
present at the sale-men of money from
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta
Mobile, New Orleans and st. Louis. The
town-to-be is on the Tennessee River, and
the syndicate of capitalists who made
such an unprecedentedly bold movement
in Southern real estate propose (and with
good hope) to make it the centre of iron
manufacture in the United States Con-
tracts have been let to build water works
and $50, 900 hotel. 1t is estimated that
SIC, 900, 900 will be invested Immediately
in iron works. That is the way to make q

A Democratic NeighbOr's Estimate.
From the Wilson Advance.

George W. Stanton, the nominee for
Secretary of State, is the weakest man
who could have been named His record
well, he has no record worth speaking
of. having always been a crossroads pol
itician. He is man of no ability-is a
fair "ranter" Or "exhauster'' He is un-
popular with his own party, and will run
behind the ticket not less than one or two
hundred votes in Wilson county. He is a
farmer by profession, but has spent most
of his time in the past years in the effort
to obtain Office. He is both as to ability
and availability weak man. -
