The selection of Chicago as the site
for the Worlds Fair, aside from other
reasons, has been viewed with mis-
trust by many in fear of the effect
the choice of an inland city would
have upon foreigners. Looking at
this phase of the subject, it is pleas
ant to note that tue English news
papers not only fail to raise an objec-
ton on this ground, but actually en-
dorse the selection. The London
Telegraph says:
"The decision of the House of
Representatives to accept Chicago as
the site for the Worlds Fair to be
held in America in 1892 seems to us
judicious. New York has had its In
ternational Exhibition already, and
there would be no great novelty to
Foreign visitors in the institutions,
streets or sights of the Empire city !:
but Chicago, in the rapidity and
characteristic of lis growth, is one of
the worlds wonders itself.''
ne LONDON Times, in lengthy
article, says:
"To European Traveller an extra
thirty or thirty-six hours journey
makes little difference. If he goes
to New York he must go at least as
far west as Chicago. The freight
will be slight drawback to foreign
exhibitors of heavy, bulky articles
But the railways communicating with
the seaboard carry at proverbi ally
low rates, and we may look to the
promoters of the Fair doing their ut
most to remove this difficulty. To
Americans themselves Chicago is at
least as convenient as New York
Situated in one of the most fertile re-
gions of the world, it is admirably
served by net of railways, and the
waterways it commands are scarcely
less useful"

The result of last Tuesdays meet
ing of the Worlds Fair Committee of
the House was complete victory for
the Chicago people. Mr.. Belden's
proposition, which requires the Chi
cage citizens TO present to the COM
mittee absolute guarantee of a million
dollar fund before the bill was re-
ported, was defeated, owing to the
presence of Mr.. Wilson, of this State.
In its stead, he offered a proposition
to amend the ninth section of the bill
(Which authorizes the President upon
notice that provision had been made
for the grounds and buildings to an
nounce the time when the exposition
will be heId), so as to provide that
he shall issue his proclamation and
invitation to foreign nations when
ever there has been filed with him
satisfactory proof to him that not less

Death Of Gen. Francis H. Smith.

Gen. Francis II. Smith, late super
intendent of the Virginia Military In
stitute, died last Friday. Gen.
Smith was born in Norfolk, Va, Oc-
tober 10, 1872, and was rs years
old. He was appointed a cadet to
sthe West Point Military Academy
from the Norfolk district in 1929,
and fOur-years later graduated with
distinguished honors, receiving the
appointment of lieutenant of artil-
lery, and was placed on duty at New
London, Conn. His next appoint
ment was assistant professor of
ethics at.the United States Military
Academy at West Point.
He was called to the chair of math-
ematics at Hampden-sidney College,
the Presbyterian theological school of
Virginia. In July 1889 he was APP
pointed by the Governor of Virginia
superintendent Of the Virginia Mill
tary Institute at Lexington, then
just opened. He organized that
rwideIy-known military school and
took command of tthe first corps of
cadets November IL, 1889, with Col.
John T. Preston, husband of Mar
:garet j. Preston, the poetess, as his
assistant. He held that position I'M
'til the first day of January, 1890,
when lie voluntarily resigned, re-
sceiving the appointment ,of emeritus
professor of mathematics, moral and
political philosophy for life, with a
yearly salary of $1,000. Col. Scott
Shipp succeeded BIN. The bar
racks, mess and the residences of the
professors of the Virginia Military
Institute were bNrned July IL, 1864,
by Gen. David Hunter, United States
army, in his famous raid. After the
war Gen. Smith raised the funds by
his personal ezSertions by which the
buildings were reconstructed and the
school recognized in 1866. The
institute reached grander proper
tions in the next seven years than it
had ever done previously. Its corps
of cadets in 1873 reached the number
of about 400.
In 1885 Gen. Smith married Sarah
Henderson, sister of Mrs. A. M.
Forrest of this place, and daughter of
Gen. Thomas Henderson, United
States army, stationed at West
Point. The children of this marriage
are Anna Marsden, dead; Mrs. Ma
jor j. H. Morrison, Lexington /;
Thomas II. Smith, United States
Treasury, Washington, D. c.; Mrs.
Otis A. Glazebrook. Elizabeth, N.
j.; Maj. F. II. Smith, Virginia Mill
tary Institute; Miss SaIlie f. Smith,
Lexington, Va; Rev. James Hen
dcrson Smith, deceased. Mrs. Gen.
Smith died about seven years ago.

SENSIBILITY TO PAIN.
II Is More Developed In the Nervous
Than In the Muscular Type OF Men.

It Is More Developed In the Nervous
Than In the Muscular Type OF Men.
In dealing with man we may roughly
divide him into two main types-the
nervous and the muscular. The nervous
type would be represented by the man
with an active, piercing eye; face
whose features exhibit all the charac-
teristics OF energy. intensity of thought
and feeling: q narrow chest and badly
developed muscles. In the muscular type
we should find the man with features ex-
hibiting constant expression Of repose,
with powerful and well-developed limbs
and slow Of speech and movement.
Good examples of the one type might
be found among our scholars and
students, of the other type among our
agricultural laborers. These are ex-
treme cases; in some Of US the muscle
element predominates, in others. the
nervous. But the important part is that
these types are not equally sensitive to
pain. Any medical man, relying on his
own experience, would say that as gen.
eral rule the nervous type was far more
sensitive than the muscular.
Numerous examples have occurred in
the writer's own experience all pointing
in the same direction; indeed, he has
known men Of the muscular type updsr.
go the most painful operations who nave
at the time exhibited no indications Of
suffering, and have on being questioned
BY him acknowledged that they did not
feel much. But the evidence IN even
stronger in the case of uncivslized races,
the observations OF all travellers pointing
to the extreme insensibility to pain ex-
hibited by savages. A good example
was given in the Spectator few months
ago, when q correspondent related the
fact that on the introduction Of boots
into New Zealand the vanity of the
natives was so great that when one of
them was happy enough to become the
possessor of pair and found that they
were too small he would not hesitate to
chop of toe or two, stanch the bleed
ing by covering the stump with 3 little
hemp, and then force the feet into the
boots.
Other facts connected with diseases Of
the brain may DO cited in support Of this
suggestion that the more active and
wide-awake the brain is the more sensi-
tive 70 pain does it become. In early
Inflammation Of the brain, when thu
amount Of blood circulating through il
is larger than usual, 1t becomes ex-
tremely sensitive, 30 much 80 that .
