Giacomo gave mo another OF those
timid questioning Chances, and departed
TO execute his order. In another five
minutes, the bowling having suddenly
ceased, long, light, black, shadowy
creature came lcaping wildly across the
moonlit lawn-Wyvis was racing at full
speed. He paid no heed to his mistress
or Ferrari; he rushed straight to me with
yclp Of JOY. His huge tail wagged in
cessantly, he painted thirsty with en-
element, he friskcd round and round my
chair, he based himself and kissed my
feet and hands, no rubbed his stately
head fondly against my knee. His fran

late husband. 1t is really very odd!'
Ferrari, by his looks, agreed with her,
and appeared to be uneasily considering
the circumstance.
Strange to say" he remarked,

Hearing his voice the dog did indeed

A New Electrical Girl.

There is a wonderful little girl at
Lavina, Carroll county, Tennessee,
who bids fair to rival the Georgia won
der, Lulu Hurst. is an electrical freak
and natural medium. Miss Emma
Johnson is only Is years of age and is
a blonde of some beauty. For several
months past she has been puzzllng her
friends and relatives by her electrical
powers. Her relatives first noted her
habit of wandering of from the house
and staying to herself for hours at a
time, but being child, 40 particular
attention was paid to her habit until it
began to be noticed that locks. keys,
metal spoons and knives would cling
to her hands and have to be shaken
off. At the table. when she touched
her plate, that dish would dance about
until she removed her hands. and even
the table shook when she pressed upon
it. Chairs which she touched would
rock about. Finally the family physi-
clan was called in TO examine her. He
could give no explanation of the mat
ter. Her forte. however. is her spirit
ualistic communications. She calls up
the spirits of the dead and communes
with them rs with other mortals.
Whenever any one in the community
dies the relatives come 10 the little
girl to find out the condition of the
deceased She finds where the shade
is wandering, whether it is happy, and
ii the unknown is not to be more de-
sired than the known. Other expert
ments equally rs wonderful are easily
performed by her in this line. Those
who ut first ridiculed the idea Of her
being possessed of supernatural pow
ers are now among her strongest
friends, and to deny her wonderful
feats is to insult her friends.

The enterprise has passed safely through the

nifed osrrels and conflicts among Its VARIOUS
promoters which did so much TO impair ana I'M

If has now Invested itself of its local drawbacks
and errors and blossomed forth into great
National and international undertaking, IN the
success of which every patriotic citizen OF inc
United States is equally interested.
The delegates who returned to this city yes
terday went abroad bearing a commission from
the United States Government, and 1t Is as
representatives Of the latter that they have Sc
cured. during their stay abroad official promises
of active participation in the Far 1lom inc
various Governments of the Old Void. Urea'
Britain has appointed Royal Commission, pre-

Germany. Aus ria and Russia besides most OF
the minor Powers have also officially announced
their intention of devoting large sums OF GOV

the proper representation OF their respective
countries at Chicago.
Nor will the participation OF the foreign States
in our great National undertaking be OF an
exclusively official character. For the manu-
factllrers of Emope-and Of England in partic-
ular-are determined to make an elaborate dis
play of their various products and wares not
50 much with the object of competing with ON
industries for the home market which Is 50
efficiently protected by our tariff but rather
with the hope OF maintaining their hold upon
the markets Of South America. Mr.. W. NC

in Europe for the Fair has been shrewd enough
TO point out to the foreign manufacturers the
opportunities afforded by the Chicago EXhlol'
ton of developing their trade with the south

not been slow to take the hint with the result
that a great but amicabe international conflict
between Europe and North America for the

mrsE G0TERNMENr " Chill

II is clear that the statesmen composing the
CHILEAN Junta are vndcating the good fortune
of their arms by administration both temperate
and wise. They are proceeding on lines that
are novel in the history of revolutionary move
ments in Spanish America. Hitherto the first
businesS of a successful revoutiOnist movement
has been to slaughter its enemies. The appre-
hension of such atrocities constituted one OF the
main objections in foreign countries to any form
of recognition that could have the effect OF
strengthening the insurgent cause. Tho his
tory of Chill, it is true, has been that OF
peaceable and progressive people, but the very
incident. the absence of which in the past had
80 nohlv distinguished Chill from other OF the
South American States, came at last, and with
il the necessary fear of shocking consequences.
To an extent those consequences have appeared,
but they a'e mild indeed compared with the
| form in which they are usually manifested.
The Junta have ordered several executions, but
these are to be defended as necessary. No ono
has been harmed simply because he sustained
Balmaceda. All the executions authorized have
been those of persons whose conduct was mex
cusably cruel and malignant, and even such acts
Of vengeance have been few.
The merciful methods of the Junta have had
their natural effect in establishing order and in
solidlfying the Juntas strength. The people
have been attracted toward the new Govern
ment and have made its cause their own. This
Is observable, especially in the quick re-estab-
lishment of social quiet and order. Such a feat
after so bitter a war would have been impossible
in country whose citizens generally were less
well disposed toward social tranquility or less
inclined to sustain the Junta in fair and wise
administration. A good, healthy spirit, how
ever. has prevailed among the ruling classes in
the republic. They have acted together cor
daily Private ambitions have been restrained
and all have found a common and sufficient oc-
cupation in providing foy present emergencies
1t did not take long, in these circumstances, &c
subdue the disorderly elements and 20 place tho
Government in position from which it can
safely enter upon constructive work.
The naming of DAY upon which the new
national ectons are to be held undoubtedly
inspired the CHILEAN public with respect for tho
Jnnta's mselish patriotism. That act was q
clear witness that nothing was intended to b.
done subvesiye Of the existing constitution
