THE RECENT BOND PURCHASE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The bonds
purchased by the treasury in the last
three days amount to nearly 100000
For these bonds the government has paid
about $l4,000,OG0, by the addition OF
the premiums.
Acting Secretary Batcheller takes the
ground that the bonds coming into the
department are offered by firms of the
highest financial reputation, and under
circumstances which make it manifest
that they are not pInched and obliged TO
sell, and he is rather more inclined TO
lower than to advance the prices.

train. He sustained injuries from which
lie died this morning.

A TOUCH OF NATURE
That Made Exposition Visitors Friend
ly to COlOred Singers
QUAINT MELODIES ARE PREFERRED
ASurprise is Promised When the Total EI-
position Attendance is Known.
BRIEF MENTION OF SOME EXHIBITS

The removal of the Jubilee singers from
the balcony of the Exposition to convenl-
ent stand on the lower floor yesterday was a
wise act. Every song was heartily ap-
plauded. 1t was noticed that the genuine
was preferred to any sham, and the strloent
tenor or the shrili. high notes OF the 1emaIes
were received with more real applause "nen
n tender "Suwanee River" was being rem
dered than when all the artificial meIooIes
in the world were given. That one toueh
of nature makes the whole world kin was
shown last night, when typical Southern
sony was given, and every individual in the
vast crowd OF listeners kept up faint, un-
easy. unconscious shuttle, in perfect time
with the Quaint, catching old tune direct
from the little cabin in the clearing.
In spite OF day almost threatening, the
attendance yesterday was splendid, and
when the official figures for the full attend
ance are given toward the close, there are
some disgruntled ones who will be surprised
and many delighted friends who will be
more than pleased. The lady billiardist
attracted great deal of attention yesterday,
as she succeeded in making some very clever
shots indeed, considering her opponent Cher
husband by the way) is willing to tackle
anybody in "10Oior no count" game. Mrs.
Shaw has been very i'll, and but a few weeks
ago was able to again take up the cue after
a several months siege. The novelty OF the
thing, however, and the adroitness OF the hand
some lady's left hand shots, was amply SUM
cient TO win for her applause that her skill Dy
no means deserved Her nerve is coming back
again, she saws and something good may De
looked for before the engagement closes.

THE BUSY NAIL MACHINES.
Oliver & Roberts Wire Co., Limited.

One of the most interesting exhibits in
Machinery Hall, and one where the crowd is
the thickest, is about the wire nail display.
Two machines turning out thousands of 20
penny and thripenny nails give pleasure to al
most every visitor, be he young or old. A very
instructive case of samples is in front, where
some l6S varieties of wire nails are shown from
the little thin picture tack, scarce quarter
inch long, to the largest spike used in framing
house. These machines are OF the NJ. n.
Smith patent made in Brooklyn, n. Y, six
sizes Of which do service at the mill No. 2, SOL
Bingham street, Pittsburg, Southslde. Wire
nails are fast superseding the old style of cut
nails The very significant circular of this
company tells us in terse, pithy terms why 'the
nail of the future is cleaner, cheaper and bet
ter in every respect BY using wire nails, first,
you get more nails for a cent; second, you get
100 pounds of nails (noT scrap and slivers) in
every keg; third, you get nail that will hold
till doomsday." Beside nails in course of man.
