learned was that success depends quite as
much upon the manner in which you dis
play goods as upon the goods which you
have to display. Observation-Disclosures is what
the exposition people call it's an art in
which the French and Italians excel, as
they excel in most arts.
why, at Paris" said Secretary Bick-
ford, of the government Worlds fair
| board, ''in many lines we had the finest
things in the show, but we didn't know
how TO show them. We had the best
wheat, and the best bacon, and lot of
things of that sort, and we got the medals
on them. But the Italian and the French
exhibits in these very lines attracted fifty
times the attention from the people that
ours did. That was simply because they
were better displayed. They spent hun
dreds of dollars in displaying to the best
advantage a barrel of -four worth six or
eight dollars They could fix up a side of
bacon so that it looked like a work of
art, and everybody stopped to look
at it, while the crowds walked by
our display without more than glanc-
ing at it. Installation is half the battle in
an international exposition, and this is a
lesson our exhibitors must learn. They
must know sooner or later that, no matter
how valuable or perfect their wares, when
they go into competition with Europeans
they will find it necessary 70 employ skill
and taste and money IN properly installing
them.
Because Uncle Sam was a general agent
for manufacturers and other exhibitors at
Paris many people appear 20 think he is
going to play the same role at Chicago.
Every day manufacturers write here to in
quire If the government IS prepared to take
charge of their exhibits at Chicago, saying
they would prefer 10 put their goods in the
government building. OF course Uncle
Sam isn't going into that business at all
The law provides distinctly that the gov
eminent display shall be one designed
solely 70 exhibit the functions OF govern
ment. The government produces nothing,
sells nothing Therefore twill at Chicago

For instance. our good treud jerry Rusk

The daughters of Mr..

steal knowledge. The daughters of Mr..
Andrew H. Warden, his employer,
treated him with unusual consideration
on account of his intelligence and re-
fnement Thus pleasantly passed the
autumn and winter of 1890. Then the
mans evil nature began to Show itself.
His temper was restrained only by
constant effort and occasionally broke
out in frightful manifestations. He re-
ceived letters directed to another name
and in various ways seemed ''sus2i-
cious character" Mr. Warden there-
fore dismissed him, and then it was dis
covered that he had importuned Christie
to marry him and threatened her with
death if she refused. She declined to
tell all the facts and was afraid to go out
alone. The threat was literally fulfilled
AS Christie and Fannie Warden, Miss
Louise Goodell and Mrs. Warden were
returning home from an evening meet
ing, Amy suddenly confronted them
with a pistol and seized Christie. he
fired at the others, but missed them.
Fannie, however, stuck to her sister,
while the others ran for help. Despite
the struggles of the two girls Amy sue
ceeded in dragging Christie into the
bushes, where he fired one ball into her
head and another into her body, causing
instant death. Help was so near that he
had but half minute to escape, yet he
did, and then the hunt began. The
beauty, intelligence and high character
of the Warden girls had made them very
popular, and all the men of that and the
adjoining counties turned out with guns.
Even the professors of Dartmouth col
lege joined in. 1t was grand battue,
but Amy got through the Gordon and
reached Montreal Every step of his
progress has been traced, but in Mon
treal the trail was temporarily lost.
A strange feature of the case is that
letters have come from distant places de-
scribing Almy exactly and relating some
act of violence by him, but under diff
ferent name One woman writes that
her own daughter was murdered few
years ago under very similar circum-
stances, and her description Of the MUIR
derer is exactly that of Almy. The man
seems cursed with an implacable and |
uncomfortable temper.

to Chicago and see what he is to have there
for US to see. Some of us remember that
he had very good show at the Philadel-
phia Centennial; but what he had there
was almost as nothing compared with
what he will have at Chicago. In the first
place, this is a good deal more of country
now than it was even fifteen years ago, and
the government is greater and richer. Be
sides we know more about expositions now
than we did then. Uncle Sam is particu-
larly fortunate in having at his command
a number of gentlemen from the military,
naval and civil service who have had expe-
riencein exposition work, who know what
20 do and what not to do.
In the second place the government is to
spend five or six times as much money at
Chicago as it spent at Philadelphia. The
government building alone at Chicago will
cost more than the whole of the show
which Uncle Sam made in the City of
Brotherly Love. At Philadelphia the gov
eminent had 1900 square feet of exhibit
ton space. At Chicago the principal
building alone will have an area of 262, 500
square feet, to say nothing of annexes, of
open air displays, of the great battleship,
of the aquaria, two in number, each 135

you all the government intends exhibiting.
1t will be Worlds fair in itself.
A great many people fail to understand
the scope of the government show at the
fair. At the Paris exposition Uncle Sam
was simply a general agent for other ex-
hibitors. He sent out letters to manufac-
turers and others asking them what they
had to sell to foreign peoples, and inviting
them to send their samples to him at
Paris, and he would see that they were
properly displayed. Some sent their sam
Piles and some didn't, and Uncle Sam did
only fairly well as an agent in charge.
He didn't have money enough to make
very good display with, and besides he
didn't know much about the business.
But while he was very weak at Paris, and
our citizens who reside abroad haven't yet
done blushing for him, he learned few
tricks there and now fatters himself that
he knows something about the exhibition
business. Among the things which he

in the government exhibit or the entire

and marvellous perfection of the mail serv-
ice unfolded before you. This will include
complete postoflice in operation in full
view of the public, the railway mail cars,
the wonderful canceling machines and the
even more wonderful skill and proficiency
of the men who distribute mails, to say
nothing of the famous dead letter Office
and its museum OF curiosities.

Interesting and instructive will be the ex-

gives some interesting particulars about
the house sparrows of western India. At

their nest IN the antlers of sambur in

although their nest was DESTROYED sew

A third pair actually built in a de-

often taken down and shown TO visitors.
