WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

Pennsylvania intends to make hor-
tilultnral exhibit which will surpass
anything of the sort ever made. Aside
from fruits and viticuIture, in y1ich
the State will not attempt to outdO
other portions of the country, all
branches of horticulture will be splen-
didly represented. George W. Childs,
A. ]. Drexel and several others, who
have very large and valuable colIec-
tions, will give or loan to the Exposi-
tion their finest and rarest plants, some
OF which cannot be duplicated.
A miniature model of typical west
ern farm, complete in every detail,
will be exhibited in the Washin gton
State Building at the Worlds Fair.
Among other exhibits will be a collec.
tion of specimens OF all the species OF
birds, fish and animals to be found in
the State. The interior of the build.
ing Will be decorated in large part by
the women of the State.
The Horticultural exhibit will not bo
concentrated in one place. In .le front
curtains of the buil1ing will appear
the greenhouse and hothouse plants a
very large variety and many rare and
beautiful specimens. There, too, will
be the finest dIsplty of orchids ever
seen in thi' country, If not in the
world. One firm alone will spe ld
$4,000 on its orchid exhibit. At the
opening of the Fair, Chief Sqmuels says,
there will be a displa of 1000 different
varieties of orchids embracing fully
1000 specimens. Beneath the great
dome will be the largest tropical plants
ob.ainable, including Jananese and
Chinese bum Doos - to so feet high,
palms 30 to 10 feet high, and tree ferns
u feet or more in height. There will
also be a miniature mountain covered
with tropical plants, and in a cave
within viii be tried the experiments of
growing plants by electric light and of
growing them by the aid of electric
currents. passed through the soil, both
Of which, it is claimed, have been ac-
compIished with remarkable results.
A very interesting exhibit which, it
is reported, the British Commission Is
planning to make at the Worlds Fair,
is a large scale nap, showing the dis
coveries which have been made in
North America by Englishmen. Though
Columbus discovered the West In
dies. the credit of first sighting the
mainland of America seems if We put
aside the unrecorded Investigations of
the Northmen-to be due to an En-
glIshman, Sebastian Cabot; and the
list of names of English explorers of
| America, which is headed by his, is a
very long and distinguished one. IA.

As she thought OF the gardener standing by;
He is old, so old And he soon must der
Ghe full rose in the warm June ar,
AS she spread, and spIt Till her heart LAP

And she laughed once more as she heard his

He is Older nowi He will soon be dead"
But the breeze OF the morning blew and found
That the leaves OF the blown Rose strewed the

For the Rose is beauty the Gardener, Time.

THE Pennsylvania courts do noe
believe in the lawfu,ness Of contracts
to secure the passage of acts by Legis-
lature or Congress. A professional
lobbyist in that State who sued
Postmaster for services rendered in
getting a bill passed to increase his
compensation has been turned out Of
court with the privilege Of paying
costs on the ground that the contract
was void as against public policy,
No sensible person will quarrel with
the decision Of the court; but it will
be felt that the other party to the
contract ought in some way to get
his share He was as much an
offender against public decency as
the man with whom he made the
Improper contract. Yet he reapS an
advantage from it while his co-sinner

LITTLE words are the sweetest to
hear; little charities fly farthest and
stay longest on the wing; little lakes
are stillest, and little hearts the
fullest, and little farms the best
titled. Little books are the most
read, and little songs the most loved.
And, when Nature would make any.
thing especially rare and beautiful,
she makes ii little-little pearls, lit
tie diamonds, little dcws. Much in
little is the great beauty Of all that
we love best, hope for most, and re
member the longest.

SPAIN is having trouble with the
socialists. but is determined to put
them down. The government has
notified the socialists Of Barcelona
that, if they begin rioting on large
scale, 1t will not hesitate to bonn
bard the city until not one stone is
left upon another. This is no idle
threat, as those who remember past
bOmbardments in Spain can testify.
At the same time it is humiliating
for government to be reduced to
dependence upon such measures as
these. Barcelona is the quarter
from which the most serious anarch-
ical and socialistic agitation is ex-
pected, and, in the recent riot. the
rebels against law and order killed
dozens Of the police.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Portland Singers.

The P ortland Singers Club gave their
first annual concert at Kotzschmar hall
last evening, an occasion long to be re-
membered from the character of the Sc
lections, the assistance of celebrated
artist, as well as that Of noted home tall
ent, and the excellent work exhibited.
1t was delightful entertainment and
gained much from it's beautiful and COM
Portable surroundings.
The special feature of the concert was
the violinist, Mr.. Adamowski, who fav-
ored his hearers with the andante and
finale from Mendelssohn's concerto, aIlit-
tie melody by Paderewski, gypsey
dance by Nachez, and also played the
violin oblagato in Mascagni's "Tantum
Ergo" While Mr.. Adamowski pos
sesses all those qualities in marked de-
gree that go to make the great violinist,
he is especially noticeable for his grace,
refinement and sentiment. These two
former qualities were especially shown
in the concerto, while the latter was par

dering of the Paderewski melody. He
obtains a beautiful tone from his instru-
ment and every note falls clear as crystal
on the listening ear. His technique was
displayed to good advantage in the
evpsey dance. But it was in the violin
o5Hgato to Mascagni's ''Taataun Ergo
in which Messrs. Rankin and Murray so
ably seconded on organ and piano-Mr.
Adamowski seemed to be thorougly in
fused with the religious sentiment of the
composition. The voice of the singer,
Miss Kicker, and the tones of the instru-
ment were fully in accord, and the taste
and skill of both Messrs. Rankin and
Murray added greatly to the effect. The
number was a marked feature OF the eve
ming.
The Singers Club surprised the public
by their admirable singing at the dedica-
ton of Kotzschmar Hall. Last night
they again did themselves proud. In the
first part of the programme, their 'sDay-
break" and "Miller's Wooing'' and
''Wynken, Blynken and Owr' were espe-
cially noticeable. The quality of voices,
the excellent shading, the delicacy of
piauissi,no, all call for notice. Mr.. Har-
vey Murray is to be congratulated as
