TIE WORLDS FAIR.
at WIN DO tho biggest and Most BrAu-
tifui Show of tho Age"

idea of its doing anything in the artistic
way seems ridiculous. But l want to say
to you that tho Worlds fair will be the
most beautiful thing ever seen.
1.-THE Paris exposition was magnificent
but think tho Worlds fair will be finer.
1t is generally conceded that American
architects are the best. We have more
styles and more style. Well the best
architects in the country have been formed
into board, aud while each has been ac-
corded free hand as TO the building
which he has to design, yet there has been
a certain uniformity Of desgn-say, for
example in the size Of the openings-which
makes all the buildings seem the work of
one great mind Of wonderful versatility.
Already you can see and appreciate the
magnifoence of these buildings. They are
magnificent. There is nothing cheap look
ing about them. The material of which
they arc built looks like marble or any
other Kind OF stone you choose TO make it,
and yet It does-'t seem shabby.
Here's point. You know the iron
E, r,isrs Of structures covering as much
ground a. these do are usually ugly The
architects realized that this ironworI;
could not be hidden. They have frankly
exposed it, and they have gloriaed the
commonplace. As you stand and look up
at Tho ironwOrk il seems Like lace.
The trouble IN all these cxpositiops has
been that there has been no grand scheme
of color or architecture. One building
would have been handsome if il had been
placed right or If it's color had not Jared
with that Of its neighbour Ali that has
been avoided at Chicago. Frederic Law
Olnasted, who IS landscape architect,
has planned the site of each building with
reference to the lagoon.
FRANK ID. Miilet, whose position IN
A n erican art is well known, has charge of
the whole scheme Of color and decoration.
There won't DO 4 popcorn stand the lines of
which wont be in harmony with that Of
its surroundings There will be electric
launches plying on the lagoon to carry
people shout, ard even the color Of their
awnings has been considered. | know peo-
pie had an idea that anything Chicago
would do would lie big, but they also
thought it would be a sort Of rough pine
lumber affair, decorated with red, white
and blue print stun, with rows Of stars in
it. 1t won't. Chicago people have made
their 5rsgs 80 their friends and ;hen have
gone down to the grounds and come away
stupeflod TO find that their widest boast
inss have been bic discounted.
Why, take the matter OF flowers. Your
Mr. John Thorpe, of Flushing, man
known to every florist IN America and
friend so every wealthy man who has an
interest in beautiful plants has said to
them i want tho best you've got, and
these rare plants he has set out in their
own earth already, so that by the time the
fair is opened for visitors those plants will
look as If they had been there hundred
years.

He Had Another ENGAGEMENT.

A certain lord had board put up on
some land belonging to him, with an in
scription thereon to the effect that tres
passers would be prosecuted. On taking a
walk. early one morning. he came across

lowed up, and eventually overlook the

place:

lord, my ancestors fought for it,"
"Oh. did they" answered the navy.

ssChiIe,,, and Not s'Chili.,,

A number of readers have inquired why
we spell the name of that pesky little neigh
Dor of ours "Chile," instead of "Chili'' as it
is in the Biographies. remarks the Lead
vile Herald. A few years ago this gov
eminent appointed commission to revise
and correct the photography of geographical
names. The spelling which it recommend
ed was adopted in all the official business
Of the government. The changes made
were not arbitrary. but are based on scen-
tiic and pathological reasons. Thus the
spelling of Behring sea was changed to
''Bering" as it was discovered that the lat
ter way was the manner in which Bering.
after whom the sea was named. spelled his
name. Other changes were made for
equally good reasons. Chile is so spelled
because the geOgraphers of that country
authorize that as the proper Orthography.
The change from the old form is not mere
fad. but is move in the line of absolute
correctness.

Chinese Justice.


In many respects the Chinese are most
rational and practical race, though their
ways are not those of Western peoples.
London Truth relates an incident that is.
characteristic of Chinese methods in gov
eminent. During recent ''anti foreign
devil" riot at some place between Tong-Tu
and Kaiping. the mob DESTROYED good
length of the railway that had recently been
carried through the district.
The local mandarin. instead of using
the forces under him to quell the riot, sent
the soldiers to assist in the evil work. The
entertainments were leveled for some dis.
lance and the railsithrOwn into the river, and
an attempt made to destroy the bridges.
Mr. Kinder, the head engineer of the line,
laid the state of the case before the ToatOi
of Tientsin. who is the head director of the
undertaking. The TOatOi sent for the man
DARN.
ITO please yourself and friends" said
he. ''you have destroyed the railway track.
To please me you will put it back just as it
was before. IT. in one month from to day,
the trains are not running as before. you
lose your head. and your family and ances-
tors are disgraced.
''Mr. Kinder estimates the damage and
loss by non running OF trains at fifty thou
sand taels, which sum you will have to pay
out of your own funds to the company.
For labor. all your officials. soldiers and
tOwnsfOlks will work as you direct, receiv-
ing no money for labor. and all salaries are
stopped till the repairs are complete.
shall appoint board of punishment to re-
turn with you. with power to torture and
imprison anyone who makes the least dis
turbance or trouble"
The mandarin begged for mercy on the
plea that, as the country was all under
water, he could not possibly get mud and
stone. wherewith to build the embank-
ments. The ToatOi saw the force of the
plea, and said he would give him chance.
He could pull down any of his forts that
he liked in order to provide material for the
repair of the railway. and he would give
him three months after the railway was
completed to rebuild his forts at his (the
mandarln's) own expense.
In less than three weeks the trains were
running again. and the mandarin and his.
agents are now rebuilding the forts.

How Vaccine Virus Is Obtained.

The preparation used to produce what
we call vaccination" is known among
medical men as vaccine virus. to produce
which it is necessary to 20 through sur
gical operation, the subject being young
COW or even a calf. After scarifying the
belly of the animal (the parts having previ-
Ously been shaved) the wound is inoculated
with virus from an animal already in use.
A sore is thus formed without lasting in
jury to the beast, and after week or ten
days thin vaccid matter begins to flow
from the abrasion. The pus or matter is
the vaccine virus of commerce. Goose
quilts which have been scraped with a
knife until they present rough exterior
are rubbed in this virus. The virus from
one abrasion is sufficient to coat 10, 600
quilts. which, after being so prepared, are
technically called points" These points,
when ready for shipment. look very much
like ordinary goose quilts, the virus coating
not being visible to the naked eye.-St.
Louis Republic.

LIBERAL FORGERIES.
The Bidwells Tell How They Sc
cured E1,OOO,OOO.

CHICAGO, March S.-Two notorious
ticket-of-leaye men, who helped swindle
the Bank of England of 100000 by
clever forgeries, are in this, their native
city. These men are Austin and George
Bidwell, who were sentenced to impris-
onment for life in English prisons.
Austin Bidwell, the younger of the two,
brothers, was released Feb. Is last,
after having served nineteen years in
prison. George, the elder, has been at
liberty four years. The brothers are
on a featuring tour.
They do not hesitate to talk Of their
phenomenally successful forgeries.
Their story is to the effect that they,
assisted by George Mcdonald and Ed
win Noyes, did the work. 1--WE drew
bills of exchange on the bank" said
George. ''fOrging the names of some of
the directors and officers tothem. These
bills were discounted by the bank and
the cash placed to the bogus account.
Then we would send messenger to the
bank to get the money and we got it.
We worked the bank for 91,000,0 600.
Some of the forged bills, no doubt, went
through the hands of the Rothschilds
and the Earrings, whose names we
forged, but it was long time before
they discovered it. Then they set
"Billy" Pinkerton after US, and the re-
suit was that the four of us went to
prison for life. PiDkerton's bill for do
ing the Job was G65, 000.'

fideDtial bookkeeper of Madison Bros.
& Co., paper warehouse, is Beekman
street, was arrested today and locked
up, charged with ENLIGHTENMENT. His
populations have extended over period
of about two years past, and in
that time he has taken $31,702 OF the
firms money. This sum he invested in
different policy shops in this city. In
the same time he had won in playing
policy the sum of $32,3O3.75, which he
spent again in policy, making his total
loss amount to S64, 0O6.
He has played as high as SIS day.
and in some of the shops had dropped
$1,000 in one day. In some cases he
had won as much as the latter sum in
one day. but then this was lost again by
reinvestment. The defalcations were
only discovered by the firm last Satur-
day, when deficit of $4,000 came to light
in the company's books. This was
followed later by discovery of like
nature, until the total deficiency OF S3l,

Immediately suspended and his arrest
followed. Seven of the policy dealers
with whom he did business were also
put under arrest and held pending

cases in the district court yesterday.
One is against George NJ. ColmuS for
rent, amount to 5000, and the other is
against the Minnesota Tribune COM
pany for $3S9.06, also rent.
Judge Hooker granted two new trials
yesterday. The titles of the suits are
the Plymouth Clothing company vs.. the
American Express company and Sarah
E. Robinson and Sarah l.. Boardman.
Joseph Congdon has brought suit
against Levi l.. Cook and others to re-
cover $2,012, alleged to be due on a
building which Congdon constructed.
A petition for letters of administra-
ton were filed in the probate court
yesterday by Mrs. Godfrey, widow Of
Rinalds Godfrey. The will bequeathes
property valued at $1,000 to six heirs.
A petition to prove will was also filed
by jeanette Rollins, widow of Sinew
d. Rollins. He leaves $500 to eight
heirs.
Judge Hooker's decision in the case
of Cyrus E. Phillips VS.. w. A. Chewes
and A. j. Finnegap. which was filed
with the register of deeds on Monday,is
not as important as at first supposed. A
mistake was made in making the brief,
SO that the decision covered the forty
acres spoken Of. In reality the property
in litigation was worth not more than
S500-a small lot in the vicinity of the
university grounds.

The subcommittee appointed by the
council committee on raising the Mil

and looked over the plans prepared by
City Engineer RInker. The plans were
very complete and showed in detail the
tracks from Ninth avenue south to
Twenty-fourth street, the distance it is
proposed to have than raised. 1t would
be necessary to have them raised eight
feet in order to concur with the ideas of
the committee, and this would entail an
expense of $652, 1928 OH the railroad
company. The company is, Of course.
averse to raising the tracks, claiming
that they are well enough. In order to
compel the company to make some
proposition the committee yesterday de-
cided to recommend that instead of
raising the tracks they be lowered, so as
to make the bridges conform with the
grade of the streets. The recommends
ton is hardly meant to be a serious
one, for it would be impossible to lower
the tracks to such an extent. 1t would
necessitate their being lowered fully
tWenty-four feet in some places.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Canadian Expectations Draw Out
What the United States May Do.

Canadian Expectations Draw Out
What the United States May Do.
George A. Mcneil and Jeffreys Tay-
lor. Canadians, were in Minneapolis
yesterday long enough to outline a
series of improvements which they say
re to be made on the Red River of the
North. These gentlemen say that there
is an enterprise on foot to so improve
the Red river that it shall be as valua-
BILE for navigable purposes as any river
in the country. Then canal will be
run from Lake Winnipeg to Hudson'S
bay and give the Canadian Northwest
an outlet to the sea. 1t will cost a pile
of money, they admit, but assert that it
will more than pay for the outlay by
opening up a rich wheat and lumber
country. According to these gentlemen
the work will he done at private ex-
pense.
Mai. w. A. Jones, the government
engineer, says that this government in
tends to make some improvements In
the same direction. All he is waiting
for before going ahead with the work is
the passage of the river and haI Dor bill.
lie says that the Red river, Red lake
and Red Lake river will be sol improved
across TO the Ralny Lake river tnaC
Grand Forks and Crookston will have
an outlet. He says the plan includes
the opening of navigation on the Red
River of the North to Big Stone lake, a
distance of 900 miles. Then it would be
an easy matter, he adds, to make con-
nection with the Minnesota river and TO
so improve that stream that all of the
business which the Canadians expect to
send North would come down this way.
He thinks that all this can be done for
less than S1,00O,000.

that every firm that was invited to sub
nit bid will be represented among
them when the bids are opened.
w. G. Allen, secretary of the state
central committee of South Dakota, is
in Minneapolis. He has already ar
ranged for the quartering of his dele
CATION at the Nicollet house. MIR. Allen

rison will be renominated. South Da-
kota will be solid for the present incum-
bent of the presidential chair.
The local committee will have pub
lished the names Of all the delegates
and alternates from each state as fast
as they are received. that the people of
the city may know just who are coming.
A part of the names from Pennsylvania

be MADE before the alterations in the
hall are made. AS soon as the hall is
ready they Will begin to put in the
wires.
