Kansas has built but two miles of rail-
road track so far this year. The new
construction in Illinois is limited to 27.8
miles, and in Iowa to q miles. The
greatest activity is displayed in Georgia,
and Washington is a good second, while
the third and fourth places are taken by
South Carolina and Pennsylvania. The
record for the whole country shows a
loss of about $50 miles, indicating that a
little less than 5000 miles of new track
will have been laid by the close of the

years old Miss Kellogg has bad her eyes on
this place, and from time TO time she has
gone there to pass summer, but has al
WAYS boarded Some few years ago she
picked out the prettiest six acres in the
place and bought il, meaning some day TO
build house there. The house has been
a dream for years-now it is a reality and
a delightful reality it is too Miss Kellogg
chose her site wisely. IL is on the side OF
a wooded hill, and has five springs on IL,
which she has caused to run together into
a reservoir, which keeps the house bounti-
fully supplied with water.
The house was planned entirely by Miss
Kellogg. 1t is neither Queen Anne Colo
NAL nor Romanesque; it is individual and
comfortable, much more 50 than houses
that have cost four times. forty times,
more money. The piazza is half loggia;
that is, the roof is formed by the rooms
above projecting over il. but the sides are
open, so that the breeze plays through.
But it plays gently, for IL does not blow
out the lamp which stands on the low, old
fashioned table when there is no moon 70

The mantelpieces are feature OF this
house Every one OF them was bought
from New York dealers in second hand
building materials, and Miss Kellogg has
been saving them for the time when she
would build. The handsomest one Of the
lot, and one Of the handsOmest / ever saw,
cost her ESQ. The firm that repaired 10
for her offered her $50 for 1t, and would
have sold it for 600. but she didn't buy il

The farmers will do the principal part of
the voting in Kansas today. They will all
be on one side, with the Republican party
on the other. This program will be ex-
tended to the presidential election next

A. p. Hulse, late OF the custom house,
tells a good story of some flibustering
that came under his notice years ago.
In 1859 Harry Maury, a midshipman,
who had resigned from the service OF
the United States government, was in
command of a brig off Mobile bay, The
vessel was loaded with fihbusters for
Walker and was overhauled by revenue
cutter An officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the ves-
sci and bring her to Mobile, Maury,
who was equal to the emergency, pre-
pared himself by unshackling the anchor
from the chain and fastening lantern
to pole. When the vessel arrived at
Dog River bar it was hailed from the
cutter and ordered to come to.
Then came the order, LET go your
anchorw Maury let go. "Pay out
thirty fathoms of chain" was the next
order, Maury ran the chain through
the hawser hole and over the rail back
on deck, He was ordered next to hoist
light, which he did by lighting the
lantern already affixed to the pole and
sticking the latter in the mud. He then,
when all was quiet, put off down the
bay, leaving the cutter watching the
light, which it did until morning.
In the meantime the officer from the
cutter, who was in charge of the filibus-
tering vessel, was down in the cabin
playing cards. On arrival at the en-
trance of the harbor the officer was
tapped on the shoulder and told of where
they We're and asked if he wished to go
ashore. A boat was at his service and
he took it, returning to the cutter in
time to share the chagrin of his mates.=-

Worlds Fair Notes.

Illinois has appropriated $780, 900
for its exhibit at the Exposition. 1t
will erect an immense building con-
tanning about $3.50, 200, and endeavor
to make the most complete exhibit of
any of the states. The state board
Of agriculture has charge of the mat
ter.
California will occupy a 100000
building at the Exposition. A prize
of $500 for the best plan was offered
some time ago, and a humber of plans
are now under consideration. A
choice will be made within a few
days.
Maine will erect a $4,000 build
ing, 40 by 40 feet, two stories high,
with tower. The building will be
constructed of different varieties of
Name granite and covered with
Maine slate.
One of the novel buildings at the
Exposition will be the Casino and
pier. The Casino, which will stand
out in the lake 900 feet from the
shore, is intended to reproduce Ven
ice on a small scale in Lake Michi-
gan. Burlin & Whitehousc Of Chi
cago have completed the design for
this structure, and the architecture is
of course of Venetian order.
The Casino will be built on piles
and connected with a pier 80 feet
wide. The base dimensions of the
Casino will be 1S0x40O feet. The
buildings will consist of nine paw
lions, two stories in height, and, with
the exception of the central one, so
feet above the surface of the water.
The center pavilion will be $50 feet
high. There will be communications
between the nine pavilions both by
gondolas and bridges. Completely
surrounded by water this structure.
with its feet of boats and numerous
waterways, is expected to have de-
cdedly Venetian flavor. Surround
ing the central pavilion will run a gal
larry 56 feet wide. The pier connect
ing the Casino with the shore will
form a broad promenade At the
west end of the pier will stand the 10
columns designed by Sculptor st.
Gaudens, to represent the thirteen
original states. In front of the CAST
no will be harbor for small pleasure
crafts. At night this harbor win be
lighted by incandescent lamps sunk
beneath the surface of the water on
floats. The material of the casino
will be of wood and the walls will be
covered with staff. A striking COM
bination of high colorings will be eff
fected. The contract for the con-
struction of the pier and Casino has
been let.
