This Ionic order is converted into an ar

pavilion, forming there an open portico
with wide balcony above looking toward

All this exterior ordonnance is carried
out strictly according to the formulas of
the Italian Renaissance, all the architects
employed upon the buildings forming the
great quadrangle or square having agreed
TO use a strictly scholastic form of archi-
tectural expression, similar in respect to
the height of the order, but varying in re-
gard to its character and distribution. In

AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS.

One of the most desirable and interesting
features of the Exposition viii be the pro-
posed Live Stock and Agricultural Assem-
bly, Hall, the erection of which Is now as
sured. This building will probably connect
Machinery Hall with the Agricultural
Building, fronting on, the main court of
the Exposition grounds, and will be con-
veniently near one of the stations of the ell
evated railroad. 1t will be very handsome
building, and will undoubtedly be the COM
mon meeting point for all persons interest
ed in live stock and agricultural pursuits.
On the first floor, near the main entrance
of the building, will be located bureau of
information, in charge of attendants, who
will furnish visitors with all necessary in

How Western Settlers hustle.

"I'll tell you how cities are made in Gods
country" said Joseph French johnson, editor
of the Spokane Spokesman, to a Chicago
Herald reporter: "a few weeks ago three
young fellows from Connecticut, named More
house, Clark and Wheaton. came out to Idaho
and camped on the sides of Medicine Mountain
In search of fortune. They prospected for a
while with little success. and one of the boys
proposed to move to city. Why not make a
city come to us? asked Morehouse, who ex-
planned his plans for laying out town directly
where they were camping. The next day the
boys mapped out their city, naming il Meadow
mont. One of the young men climbed through
the brush for some fifty feet and shouted
I've found a good place for Main
Harrison avenue, Blaine street, Reciprocity
boulevard and other highways. BY this means
it took only halt day to lay out the city. The
next day the chamber OF commerce was organ
lied, with Morehouse president, Clark secretary
and Wheaton treasurer. There were no other
members At an enthusiastic meeting of the
Meadowmont Chamber of Commerce a resolu-
ton was passed asking the prominent men of
the city to convene and have store started
that would be an honor to the west. It was
also voted that Uncle Sam establish postoffice
there and appoint any one Of its prominent
needed SO goods could come by mail, for when
they came any other way one of the prominent
citizens had to freight them many miles on his
back. At the enthusiastic meeting of the Mea-
dowmont Chamber of Commerce it was unani-
mously agreed that public building be erected
And 50 it went Presently two travellers stopped
at Meadowmont and before they were aware of
it they had bought town lots at $40 lot. In a
little while more wanderers came to the future
metropolis OF Idaho, and before another year
there promises to be quite little town on the
spot selected by the Connecticut boys. They
displayed considerable judgment and nerve
and one might as well be dead in the west
without nerve. You need that quality in your

hey Exchanged Compliments.

Maj. Ben Truman says to Chicago Tribune
report r: Just forty years ago there was
elected in Nevada township, Nevada county,
California, a justice of the peace named Ezekiel
Dougherty. He had arrived in California in 1S49
and early became known as Uncle Zeke,
Uncle Zeke" knew good deal more concern
ing "jackpotS" than he did about iuris-
prudence, and it is said of him that he relieved
she monotony of his bench duties" by indul g.
ing in terrific cocktails every half-hour daily.
In November, 1851, fellow named James
Palmer was brought before "Uncle Zeke "
charged with horse-stealing. Palmer was
tough from Missouri, but he managed to secure
the services of the Hon. William NJ. Stewart at
present United States senator from Nevada
Enough witnesses had testified to make the case
q hard one against the bad man from Missouri
At the proper time, however, Stewart arose and
addressed the court or commenced to. May it
please your honor" said the distinguished
attorney, Il shall first introduce a number OF
gentlemen as witnesses to establish the good
character of my client. I"

However, you may go on and address the
court"
One rainy day in December, 1852 Francis ].
Dunn, a fiery practitioner at both bars in Ne

and said:

five bundles on the seat beside him was waiting
for his train. It SO happened that another
waiting passenger asked him a question or two,
and the PAR were soon chatting away as men

Der one took up one of his parcels and said:

A Successful Sunday Opening.

/
For the first time in its history the New
York Metropolitan Museum Of Art was
open to the public last Sunday and admis-
sion was free. It was estimated that the
number of visitors was 1900. And the
great majority of them were working peo-
ple-peopIe who never before had visited
the museum because they had not time to
do 50 on working days.
The trustees of the institution were well
satisfied with their experiment. They ad-
mitted that q mistake had been made in
keeping the museum closed on Sundays
And il it had not been for the newspapers
it would have remained closed on those
days. The opposition to Sunday opening
was very strong, aud 1t was with difficulty
that public sentiment sufficient to over
come it was created.
1t is now quite certain that the museum
will be open to the public on every Sunday
afternoon, and that there will be no charge
made Cor admission. Those who visited the
place last Sunday appreciated what they
saw. The kind Of crowd the tslstses
thought would be present was not thsre.
There was no disposition TO abuse the
privilege the public had been accorded, and
there were no lunch baskets opened within
the building and there were no picnic par
ties.
Those who opposed Sunday opening said
that the building would be filed with roughs,
and that they would be we'll provided with
bottles of intoxicants and lunch baskets.
They were compelled to admit that they
were mistaken. There was never more
orderly crowd in the museum, nor one that
seemed to enjoy the treasures of the mu-
scum more.
A few days ago the MORNING NEWS sug-
gested that the trustees of the Telfair Acad-
envy could not do a more popular thing
free on Sundays, and also to have several
free days during the week. The people
ought to take hold Of the matter and try to
induce the trustees to follow the course that
is being pursued by the trustees of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Only a small portion Of the people of Sa-
vannah have seen the treasures OF the Tel
fair Academy, and unless there are free
days. and particularly free Sundays. COM
paratively few will ever see them. The
academy is intended for the public. and the
only way 20 carry out that intention Ia to
open its doors on the day on which the peo-
pie have leisure to visit it. Some of the
trustees are in favor of free admission on
Sunday afternoons. aud it would require
very little effort, in all probability, to in
duce majority Of them TO favor it.

No envious rival can take from Secretary
Blaine the credit Of being the original ad-
vocate Of reciprocity. Precedence clearly
establishes his claim. Even away back
yonder in the old times when Mr.. Blaine was
writing to certain memorable Boston man
on little matter Of legislation he adyo-
Gated reciprocity by suggesting that he
knew of many channels In which he could
make himself useful" But he was palpably
not altogether proud Of his theory. because
he is said to have urged upon his friend to
''burn this letter" Nevertheless the scheme
was great success, as everybody has long
known. Since that was SO successful, why
not broader application of the prinoiplel
This has the advantage of public counte-
nance.

II the whole sum of joy were this:

For we have clasped each other breast to breast,

Than be fate-cursed with age, loveless dover!
But hearts cannot grow old that love,

And youth is mine and strength, and beauty.

Friends Of Senator Don Cameron are do
ing great deal of lively rushing around
through the Keystone state in their efforts
to get up a small-sised Cameron boom in
Pennsylvania which shall swoop down upon
the whole country like a summer excursion
in watermelon patch. Quay is "for him.
Likewise many other shrewd old-timers.
But the chances are that the popular voice
is somewhat ''agin" him. That's what
counts. Possibly a very pretty little BOOM
let might be started. Yet it could only
fade and die with the frosts of autumn.
So what's the use9 If the Pennsylvania
senator has a level head he'll save his am
