Ready on Time.

From all appearances the New Orleans
Exposition will acquire distinction hith.
erto unattained by any similar enterprise
it will be ready on time. We do not recall
fair or exhibition, planned upon large
and generous scale, which met the prom
ises Of its projectors and the expectations
ofits friends in this respect. There has al
ways been something the matter to bcca-
sion delay. In some degree, greater or
less, the buildings have been incomplete
and the arrangements behind hand on the
day fixed for the Inauguration. But in the
case Of the Worlds Exposition at New Or
leans, all indications point to new depart
ure. Everything seems to be we'll ahead
Of time. The Main Building and the Hor.
ticultural Hall are practically finished al
ready. The building for the Government,
devoted to National and State exhibits, is
ready for the roof. Nothing now remains
but the putting together Of the Mexican
buildings and the Identification Of the
grounds, and to accomplish this, there re-
mains two and a half months between this
and the appointed opening day.
AS for the matter Of landscape garden
ing, the heavier part Of the work isAairly
under way. The vast and complicated
system Of drainage is already formulated
and the ma terial on hand. Most Of the
larger bitches and canals are dug, while the
plans for the tiles and piping are well in
hand. The mere exterior Identification is
a matter Of a very few days. 1t Itinvolves a
rather expensive system Of sodding and
graveling, the transportation and group.
ing Of shrubbery, ETC.. The management
are prepared to go into this at once, and
are only waiting for the completion Of
building work, the removal Of debris and
the cessation Of heavy hauling, to effect a
rapid execution Of the programme.
The erection of the Mexican buildings,
as we have heretofore explained, will be ac.
complished very quickly. Although they
are altogether the handsomest and most
elaborate Of the whole array, they will be
finished more expeditiously than any Of the
others, because they are being framed and
fitted elsewhere and will arrive here all
ready to be put together. There will be
no carpenters work required when the
steamers, which bring the material from
Pittsburg, once land at the Exposition
wharvcs. All that work is being done in
Pittsburg and other places outside. The
parts will come thoroughly prepared, and
the work Of piecing the structure will bc
pushed as ifby magic.
Certainly it will be glorious consum-
nation If the New Orleans Exposition, in
addition to being the greatest and most
comprehensive industrial manifestation
ever seen, should win for itself the unpar-
allcled distinction Of being ready OH the
date fixed in the programme. We think
this consummation will be achicved-we
are reasonably sure ofit.

Kr,lpp's Slow Powder.
The Currcnt.l


krupp, the manufacturer OF huge guns,
has lately commenced the manufacture Of
a new kind of gunpowder which does not
explode in the open air or in packages, but
burns slowly. 1t only explodes in hermet.
ically closed places, and then has wonder.
tul power to I'ropel projectiles. 1t is com.
posed, like the ordinary gunpowdcr, Of
saltpctre, sulphur and charcoal, but in new
proportions. One great advantage ofthc
new powder is that it emits very little
smoke when used in a gun.

Beecher's Bad Head.

For two months in the year Beecher can't
preach. In August and September he takes
his vacation and endures the onset Of Hay
Fever. And it is, so he says, something ter
rible and tremendous. A man with Hay
Fever isn't accountable for his actions. He
is merely a wild beast-frantic with snuff.
ing sueezing and headache. His eyes are
red so is his nose Every nerve in his
skull thrills with distress and his head is
a fountain Of tears, He lives only to fly
from seaside to mountain top in search OF
relief And yet, whether we call this form
of Cataarh Hay Fever, Rose Fever, Hay
Cold or Rose Cold, Ely's Cream Balm will
cure il. This remedy is simple, pleasant
and easy of application. Placed in the nos.
trils it penetrates and sOothes the affected
parts at once, restores the impaired senses
and creates healthy secretioHs in cases Of
the longest standing. You cannot run
away from Hay Fever. but you can drive it
from you by using Ely's Cream Balm.

Simon Baers' Sons Exhibit:

One ofthe greatest attractions, and doubt
less a very novel one, is the display made by
Simon Baers' Sons. This enterprising firm,
foremost in everything pertaining to their
line have displayed considerable foresight
in the selection of one of the pleasantest
spots on the grounds, in the north west
corner OF the floral hall, EMPOWERED and
nestled beneath the waving branches o:
hose elegant pine trees kindly loaned by
Mrs Smith. There is spacious counter pre-
sided over by Mr.. C. Cluuston and their at
fable corps Of assistants, Col. Fitzpatrick
and Thos, Waddell Esq, where all who
call on them will be favored with cup Of
heir fine Panhandle coffee. This coffee is
decidedly their greatest hit, it is having an
immense run, and is composed Of the finest
brand Of Rio, Maracaba and Java, making
delightful beverage, a repast fit for the
gods. The coffee is ground in full view OF
The audience in order TO show that there is
no deception, and it is almost incredible to
imagine that anything SO simple and easily
made could contain such delightful aroma
and fragrance. This coffee is certainly the
leading brand in the market, and is put up
in elegant wrappers prepared with the odd
type process. Adjoining the coffee room Is
the kitchen and bakery where hot rolls are
prepared by the world renowned Mr.. Coil,
fepr, seuting the Vienna Yeast Co., who uses
only B:iggs patent -four.

Sights About and Among the exhib-
its---Citizens' Day and the Cut
Flower Display.

The success, thus far, Of the State fair is
assured. Yesterday 1915 tickets were
sold, as against 5,525 on the opening day,
and there is every reason to expect TO-DAY
will again double. Yesterday was one Of
those torrid, Sahara days you read about,
and the crowd, under the circumstance,
was marvellous. New life was infused into
everything. About fifty additional fakirs
and whirligig men put in appearance, and
a rushing business was done among the
stands and booths on the grounds. The
effect was wholesome. and every proprietor
will want to come back next year. The
stands of the association all did we'll, and
money was as plentiful as though the age
of gold had retur ned.
TO-DAY's PROGRAMME
This is to be citizens day In accord
ance with the proclamation of the Mayor
most all city business will close down al
noon, to enable all clerks and employes to
attend the Fair. Banks will close all day.
IL is expected there will be an unusual rush
to the grounds. and the receipts will be cor
respondingly increased.
The cut flower exhibition will take place
at 10 o'clock this morning, and will be well
worth seeing Floral Hall is now pretty
sight and when this addition comes it will
be thing of beauty.
The examiners in the various depart
ments will conclude their work today. Ali
of them were busy Yesterday, and the work
vas not light.

A HEAVY LOSER.
dr. Charles Revert, of woodsield, Robbed
OF $500.

NIr. Charles Revert, of woodsfield, Robbed
OF $500.
Yesterday afternoon, while rambling
round among the sporting men south Of
he grand stand, at the Fair, reporter
noticed a man gestiluating wildly to several
men. The scribe stepped into the crowd
md found that Mr.. Charles Revert, of
WoOds6eld, Monroe county, Ohio, had been
elieved of his pOcket-book containing notes
nd money to the amount of $500. The
Gentleman was standing in a crowd near
he fence watching the trotting race, when
suddeuly he felt some one touch him near
he pants pocket, on the right side. Turn
ing around hastily he failed to discover
any one who looked guilty of such an act,
but upon feeling in the pocket for his pocket
book, he found it was gone. Of course he
rushed around wildly, but to no avail, as the
Dick-pOcket made good his escape.
