ROMANCE OF JAY GOULD.

As a school boy Jay Gould was
never popular with his fellows, per-
haps, because he was 80 filled with am

that he made it custom to arise very
early in the morning, often as early lis

and school-fellOws were sound asleep,

New York, with whom he had fallen
in love. Miss Burhans was well con
nected and accomplished, and had
among her suitors John NewkIrk, son
of DIR. Newkirk, who was considered
a more eligible supplicant, because he
was graded in a higher social circle
than was young Gould. Miss Bur-
hans evidently believed that Newkirk
was the best "catch," for she Tilted
Jay Gould. and accepted and married
John Newkirk. Gould never forgot.

never forgave this slight. His was

NINE ACRES OF ELECTRIcITY.
The Lights Will he the wonder OF tn
Great Fair.


tJuiisn Ralph in Hsrper's weekIy.l
The department of electricity is to col
lsct the contributions of the world 10 its
demonstration of the progress of electric
science in building which will be likely
to attract an extraordinary number of
sight-seers. Something like co.
900 incandescent and nearly 5000 arc lights
will be employed on or about the ediice.
The bnilding covers more than five acres
and half aud offers floor service Of near
nine. Mr.. john P. Barrett is the executive
Of the department. One of his lie eutensnts
attended the exhibition at Frankfort, in
Germany, in 1891, the first purely electri-
cal exhibition ever held. One of the re-
mar rkable exhibits there was a demonstra-
ton of the feet that electrical power can
be sent over great distances, the power for
the Fair osing obtsined from a waterfall
100 miles away. A turbine wheel cper-
ated the alternating dynamos at the gem
Grating station, whrre power of a low volt
ags was put through converter and
transformed into a current of high volt
age, and then, on the exposition ground,
| was reconverted into its original form
This prCce will be illustrated at Chi
cago in a modified manner. A Nurem-
berg firm showed some search lights of
amazing power. They formed one of the
wonders of the modern world. A noble
man gave a ball forty-fve miles away, it
is said, and the light for the dancers was
supplied at Frankfort by this lamp. That
lamp hal fve-foot refrsctor, but at
Chicago there will be larger ones, the
biggest being displayed on top of the
electrical building, whence it will throw n
huge white beam of light across the sky
to bathe toms distant bit of Lake Michi-
gan in MONDAY splendor on the darkest
nights. At Frankfort a thester was fitted
with electrical lights, arranged for the
| production of brilliant and realistic stage
effects, which were more ingenious and
beautiful than any we have ever seen.
There will be no theater in the Chicago
play, but it is likely that the processes in
use at Frankfort will be illustrated for us.
A very popular novelty in the building
will be a large and complete villa or dwell
ing fitted with all the household electrical
appliances of the period There will be
no occasion for lighting a match in Il for
any purpose whatsoever. At the front
door those who wish to enter will open a
box and press button, which will light
the lamps in the main hall, as would bs
done by an occupant returning home lat.
at night. Some of the lamps in the hous,
will be peculiar. There will be electrolier,
