pending. One of the guests, an
ardent lover Of Mocha, strenuously
objected to drinking his coffee from
a broken cup. The waiter who at
tended his table CHANGED to be one
of the obligirg kind, and he brought
from his private cabinet a new coffee
cup edged with broad band of gold
and with the words "Love the Giver"
interviewed with flowers. He eX-
planned that the cup had been pre-
sented to him years ago, but he had
never used it. The favored guest,
not desiring to hart the walters feel

few days thereafter, however, the
waiter dropped it and broke it. The
next morning coffee was served to

a polite tone:

sorbing interest to all railroad men.
Major ]. w. PanGboEn has charge OF lts
preparation. The Baltimore g. Ohlo
claims to be the Oldest railroad in the
world, its two or three predecessors
having been mere tramways Tor trans:
porting coal, stone or ore. The actual
construction Of the road began on July
4, 1928, and its frat section was In oper,,
alton six months before the Liverpool
& Manchester road, the frat railroad. IN
the present sense Of the word, in Eu-
rope. The Baltimore & Ohio claims also
to be the only one Of the pioneer roads
which has retained its original name
and has remained under q continuous
succession of management
Fully 100000 men, it 10 believed, will

estimate Of Secretary, Culp, OF the COM
mittes having the preparation tor the
ceremonies in charge. Hesays that &C.
Tceptances are very numerous to the IN
yitation to civic and fraternal societies
TO participate. The mslitiamen and
"regnlarsH who will participate Will
number about 10000.
The New York State Board Of Chari-
ties lie preparing an industrial exhibit

and eleemosynary institutions under its
supervision. The exhibit will contain

tistics, and a comparison showing the
progress of work for the past twenty
five years.

of the Washington Worlds Fair build
ing. Some Of them will be carved and
others decorated with paintings OF
Washington scenery and groupings Of
flowers, fruits, grains. fish, game, birds,
etc.
Rhode Island will present its Worlds
Fair building to Chicago after the expo
sition closes. The structure will be very
picturesque In appearance, being 9 re.
production in part Of the famous "old
Stone Mill" at Newport.
The German exhibit at the Worlds
fair will contain an architectural dis
play including drawings illustrating 200
or more Of the most notable buildings
in the empire.

wards the expense of making a show OF

of convention proceedings being sent

If there was any part Of the strong
speech which the Register thought OF
great. Importance and likely to be
smothered by the IsrELL1eEScER, that
was its golden opportunity to get away
with the opposition by a brilliant
stroke of enterprise.
The speech was in manuscript and
was at the disposal of anybody who de-
sired it. One of the INTEInIaENcER's
correspondents. having taken as much
as he desired to telegraph, placed the
whole speech at the disposal Of the Req

did not avail itself of the opportunity
it complains with ill grace Of any omis-
sion by the I-NTELIIdENoER.
Before the campaign goes much fur
ther Mr.. Elkins will be heard at length,
perhaps in Wheeling, on the Issues Of
the campaign. Then the Register can
keep its weather eye pealed for any
omissions it may think the INTELLI-

pleasure to see that the Register gets a
