Worlds Fair Fireworks.
TcDocial COrrespOndence.

CHICAGO. Aug. GIVE are going to nave
fireworks ad galore here next OCTOBER. IL
is 70 be display on a scale ana OF mag
nitude never before attempted on either
side of the Atlantic. There seems 10 De
something fascinating about fireworks,
something that catches the old as well as
the Young. Down at Atlantic City cou-
ple of weeks ago / saw railway president,
who is noted alike for his austerity of man
ner and his severity of disposition. sitting
on a hard pine bench with his broad
trimmed straw hat tilted on the back OF
his head and taIing in the flight OF the
rockets and bombs and the gyrations OF
the wheels and other set pieces with as
much glee as the tow haired youngster in
knickerbocksrs that sat beside him.
The greatest crowd ever gathered in
Chicago was that attracted TO the lake
front two years or so ago to witness the
fireworks display incidental to the exer-
cises commemorative of the centennial an
nivasary Of Washington's inauguration.
Over a third OF the city's population was
estimated TO have turned out for the event,
and the throng was so dense and so closely
packed that panic resulted, in which quite
a number of people were more or less in
jured and fully score of children, sepa-
rated from their parents by the crush, were
not restored to their homes until the fol-
lowing day.
But there is no possibility Of repetition
of this occurrence down at Jackson park
some six weeks hence, for over the broad
acres there will be room for all that come,
and plenty to spare. Moreover, the dis
play is to extend over three nights, and
each programme will be replete with
artistic and striking features, nearly every
one of a character never before attempted.
One piece, a literal picture in fire, will
represent the departure Of Columbus from
Spain, with the sailing Of the caravels,
firing of the signal gun, spreading of sail,
weighing of anchor, and finally the de-
parture Of the ships from the harbor, all in
tongues of fame.
Then there will be the largest irewheel
TO which a torch has ever been applied in
six mutations, centered with United
States eagle and shield with forty-three
wheels representing the states, and these
revolving, changing and interchanging
until they finally emerge into one single
wheel $50 feet in circumference. One can
imagine the great buzz Of admiration that
will come from the multisde at the stimuli
taneous flight OF 5000 rockets. Patriotism
will not be forgotten, for in jets of fame
the blue and the gray, fanked by busts Of
Grant and lee, Federal and Confederate
trophies, and surmounted by the figure of
Peace, will clasp hands. Niagara will be
depicted by torrent of fire thousand
feet long and hundred high.
Another triumph Of pyrotechnic art will
be a floating star spangled banner. The
stars will be produced by forty-two para
chutes bearing white star surrounded by
blue field. These will be supported by
heavy silk parachutes supporting red and
white stripes, the whole combined to make
an area of national banner 800 feet long.
and which will blaze against the heavens
for several minutes.

THE TOBACCO ExCURSIoNIsTs.
A Large Number VIII Reach Richmond To

A Large Number VIII Reach Richmond To-
day to See Our Markets for Themselves.
This morning at o'clock there will leave
the city of Goldsooro. n. c., a special e1-
cursion train for Richmond which will
bring q large crowd of planters. farmers
and merchants to Richmond.
The fare for the excursion Is put at
nominal rate. only q. and special rates
have been arranged at the hotels from u TO
sl.50 per day.
All these arrangements have been made
under tho auspices OF the manufacturers
and Tobacco Trade of this city with view TO
bring TO Richmond q most desirable trade
and business from the bright tobacco sec
ton of the State or North Carolina.
Believing as the i'rade does that the to-
bacco markets of. Richmond are surpassed
by zone and thatner wholesale merchants
can offer TO the visiting business men Just
as complete stocks and advantageous prices
and terms as any other city, they are making
this effort TO bring them here.
The visitors will come from GoldsboTo,
Fremont, Black Creek. Wilson. Elm City,
Rocky Mount. Battleboro. Whitakers. Tar
boro Roxboro. Greensboro, Henderson and
Oxford, all in North Carolina
The Richmond Tobacco Trade responded
promptly and literally 10 the suggestion OF
this excursion, which was primarily the
idea of Mr. ". 4. Dibrell. who is one Of
the most energetic men among them. he
has been ably seconded by the Davis d
Gregory Company. late of Oxford. n. c..
Mr. Silas Shelburne. the ShockOe warehouse
and the Davenport warehouse.
The train will arrive here at IL noon to-
day, and will consist OF at lest seven pas-
senger coaches. probably more. There is
trouble just now getting rolling stock from
the Atlantic Coast Line. that road being
busy hauling people To- the Grand Army OF
the Republic in Washington.
Large sales of the weed will occur on the
next day. the 18th. at the Davis j Gregory
warehouse Silas Shelburne's warehouse AM
| the Shockoe warehouse.
! There can scarcely be an overestimate o!
the importance of bringing these planters
and merchants hero and letting them see. Al
they will see, that they can get the highes
/ prices hero for their tobacco and pay thu
lowest prices for the goods they may de
sire 10 buy.
A rich aud productive section of the State
| OF North Carolina will DO opened to the
trade of Richmond. There IL grown th'
beautiful and vsluabls yellow-colored brigh
tobacco, which is almost literally worth II
weight in gold.
Ii is not proposed TO stop with this ex
cursion. but TO continue o. give them peri
odically IL this 10 = success, as seems certain
now. The excursionists will be entertained
informally by the merchants and member
of the Tobacco Trade here, leaving NJ

Old Pines.

A collector Of old English pipes Of all
sizes and shapes says that in sucA collec-
ton one may trace the history and spread
of tobacco by the gradually increasing pipe
bowl and the proportionate diminution OF
the supporting heel or spur, until within
present day clays it is a mere ornamental
appendage.
Soon after smoking was introduced. one
writer stated that "the rich use silver
pipes, but the poor use walnut shells and
straws.n In 1873 Harrison, in his unpub-
lished "Chronoiogie, remarks that these
daies the taking in of the smoke of the In
dian herb called Tabaco, by an instrument
like little ladell, is gretly taken up and
used in England against Rewmes." By
1919 there was an important industry in
clay pipes, and the manufacturers were in
corporated as 1.-THE craft Of T. p. makers"
Later pipes bear trademarks and initials
stamped on the heel. thus indicating the
various origins.

Origin of Postoffi ces.

The name postoflice originated in the
posts placed at intervals along the roads OF
the Roman empire, where carriers were
kept in readiness to bear dispatches and In
telligence; but the posts OF ancient times
were never used for the purpose of convey
ing private correspondence. The first let
ter post seems TO have been established in
the Hanse towns in the early part of tho
Thirteenth century. A line of letter posts
followed, connecting Austria with LON
hardy, in the reign of Macmillan. In Eng
land in early times letters were sent by
messengers, who wore the royal livery.
They had TO supply themselves with
horses until the reign Of Edward |, when
posts were established with horses for hire.
Camden mentions the Office of master OF
the posts" AS existing in 1881. A foreign
post for the conveyance of letters between
London and the Continent seems TO have
been established in the Fifteenth century.

And as he passed along his wife leaned

them. They had left her with a friend,
who kindly consented to stay with the
nurse and see that no mishap befell her
royal highness.
Between the acts her father would go to
the telephone and ring up the house, and
each time he came back with the pleasant
news that baby was all right and HADN'T

Rabbi Rubenstein, an eloquent ex-
FOUNDER of the Jewish faith, discourse
ing on the subject Of tolerance, or
rather intolerance in religion, pro-
pounds some pertinent questions
worthy of the consideration of Protes-
tants and Catholics no less than He
brews and Mohammedans. He says:
"Supposing that you are a Jew, or a
Christian, or a Mohammedan. Is your
particular belief the one that shall pre-
vail? Does the Almighty from His
heights in Heaven see the Hebrew
Bible, or the Gospels, or the Koran
does he see the Jew as a Jew, or the
Christian Is Christian, or the Mo-
hammedan as the follower of Mo-
manned? He views not creeds or
sects, but deeds and men. Have care,
therefore, as to whom you call unbe-
lever and hereto. as to whom you
condemn to eternal perdition. What
did He Of Nazareth say? "Why be-
holdest thou the mote that is in thy
brothers eye, but considerest not the
beam that is in thy own?u
