Pittshure ExposItIon.

Prr7sBuRe. Pa. Aug. S0--Probabiy two Of
the most interesting points 10 foreign visi-
tors who attend our immense Exposition
here that opens September I. WI be the
An Gallery and Machinery Hall. Though
these two are as wide apart a. the poles in
their conception and execution. they will
prose Of equal attraction 10 the same class
Of people, as they are the very height Of per
fiction in their vastly different lines.
As 10 the gallery the value Of the pictures
already in place reaches $4,000, and before
the day of opening will run far above that.
Tie art rooms (six in ALI are hung in dark
crimson cloth, soothing TO the eye, and
against which the paintings stand out in
startling relief, frightened as they are by
hundreds Of electric lights, 50 arranged as 10
bring out the paintings al their very best.
-Four of the rooms are taken up by oil paint
ing alone. and the rest illed with water
colors. or studies in black and white.
As to Mechanical Hall, the interest in that
immense building had grown 50 great long
before It's opening that thousands visited il
daily. and impeded the employees 50 greatly
in their work that il was found necessary 10
place watchmen about the building 70 keep
jnouisitiye callers out until the day every
thing was finished and it was thrown open
TO ALL
The power is furnished by two patent 500
horse power safety boilers. through two i'm
mense engines, perfect in their simplicity
and noiseless motion. This power, Of course
is transmitted through devious and diver'
shafting wheels, pulleys etc, that run the
most novel system Of machines ever seen
even in this city Of mechanical art. The i'm
mense hall is. as advertised, built entirely OF
iron and glass, both being the production o.
this city. The iron is manufactured from q
model each tiny piece is numbered, and the
| skM of workman manager and artist has
gone so far toward perfection that each one
/ Of the 1000 pieces Of which il is formed
has been put into place perfectly and evenly
without single hitch OF delay. Another
4 point that will prove Of interest to all visit
ors, is viewing the Exposition from a musi-
cal standpoint. This music is 10 be furnish
ed exclusively by the famous Great Western
4 Band. An ingenious scoop has been bull
in the gallery, and in this the great band
will be seated, as the sounding board abov,
their heads will throw every note, even th'
lowest, into every corner Of the building

A NUMBER of the Republican papers in
the State have a good deal to say about
the probable nominee for Governor next
wear. Don't be in a hurry, gentlemen
the majority of the people are not taking
much interest in that question until they
have elected Boyer State Treasurer The
woods are full of good material and there
will be no trouble in finding an able
fearless, and popular candidate when the
time comes. One election at a time.

forcing on their attention the fact that
there is morethan one funeral in store
for them.

came up smiling for another round at
Harrisburg on "Wednesday last. There
were over six hundred delegates at the
convention. J. r. Johnston, an oil bro

Treasurer, and A. 4. Stevens, of Tyrone,
was reelected Chairman Of the State
Committee. The platform declares that

prolific source Of crime and lawlessness

balloting is endorsed as a means of secur-

people at the polls. The enforcement Of
Sabbath observance and the necessity OF
restricting immigration and extending
the naturalization period, because Of the
tendency Of foreigners to substitute En-.
ropean ideas and customs for our own
were emphasized. TIE platform also de-
clares in favor Of female suffrage and
