The Daily News says. 'sTbe Pres;.

rison Is less exasperating than Blaine and
consequently more statcsnenike. He

The Standard says: President Har-

devotion to foreign affairs. This show.
ing is due to Blainc's fidgcty activity.

A Million Dollars Sent Away--Keep

The demand for Confederate bills Of all
denominations continues active. The
calls come mostly from Western business
men. who use the notes principally for
advertising purposes, it is said, stamping
their cards on the back aud circulating
..a.o.a among tineir customers. A consid-
cradle number are also sold rs curiosities
and purchased by private collectors as

dollars up to one hundred are tolerable
abundant, but five hundred and one thous-'
and dollar notes are scarce and command,

ten, twenty, fifty aud one hundred thous-
and dollars in Confederate notes have

The Construction Department OF the
Worlds Fair has solved the problem If
how the milli)ns OF visitors are to be
fed. Plans decided on call for twenty.
seven principal restaurants or cafes, and,
in connection with them, lis dining
rooms, which are to be opened in ten Of
the principal buildings. In tho MANN
facturers' building there will be, on ac-
count of its great size, sixteen restau-
rants. but the most attractive restaurants
will be found in the "bays" of the gal
lery at the north end of the electricity
building, which overlooks the lagoon.
The bays are 96x9S feet, and their floor
space is to be divided into nine dining
rooms. In each bay and around the
serie, of dining-rooms is balcony,
24x115 feet, aud here guests will be
served in fair weather. In the mine
building there will be one restaurant
in the gallery; and four in the machinery
building. In the restaurant of the fish
cries building only oysters and fish will
be served. Appropriately enough, too,
a "dairy kitchen" will be found in the
dairy building, aud a railroad "luuch'
counter in the transportation building.
The agricultural building will not b!
diouitied with n restaurant; it Is to have
an immense 'lunch counter" The cal
culation is male that 5000 people Wi
be able to sit at table at the same time
and for thei If accommodation lO(
walters, cooks, and scullions will be en-
ployed. The dining-rooms will cove
five acres of space.
