WORLDS FAIR MATTERS,
An Enterprise Unrlvaled in the History of
Nations.

An Enterprise Unrlvaled in the History of
Nations.
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The report Of tho
Worlds fair investigation committee was
submitted to the committee on appropris-
of foreign affairs be abolished and the
duties discharged by the director general.
1t recommends reduction in the salaries of
the director general and the chiefs Of
bureaus, and says reduction should be
made further in the salaries of the en-
ployes of the exposition company. The
report says these suggestions are made in
the most friendly spirit.
The committee recommends that the sal
aries of the chiefs of the fifteen great de-
partments shall in no case exceed $4,000;
that the salary of the director general be
cut from $4,000 to g, 900 and the secretary
of the national commission to $4,000. 1t
is also recommended that reductions be
made in the salaries of other employees.
The committee says it is fully aware that
the management Of the exposition has been
subjected to great stress by reason of the
limited time intervening between the in
ception and formal opening of the exposi-
tion. Inasmuch, however, as it is now ap-
parent that the time will be ample to COM
plete preparations the management should
studiously avoid extremes of either parsi-
mo4y or extravagance. The committee
necessary to provide for more than one
meeting of the national commission and
lady lnanagers' board during the fiscal year
1893. and recommends an amendment to
the act to give necessary executive powers
on certain points to the board of reference
and control. In regard to complaints of
tho improper letting of contracts, etc., the
committee does not fnd the charges sus
tninsd, but regrets that more publicity was
not given in some cRses.
In conclusion the committee expressed,
without reserve. confidence in the assured
success of the exposition. In every essential
feature, says the report, it stands unriv-
allied in all time. Fifty-six nations and
colonies have accepted the invitation to
participate and have already appropriated
$3, 7S3. 800 for that purpose. 1t ia expected
that twenty other foreign countries will be
represented. For buildings and special ex-
hibits, our own states have already provided
$3, 1S2, 500. The expenditures of the exposi.
ton, all around, will reach the stupendous
aggregate of $30.0O0OOO. In scope and
magnifCence the exposition stands alone.
There 10 nothing like it in all history: it
surpasses all kindred enterprises, and will
amply illustrate the marvellous genius OF
the American people. The committee sub
mits estimates as to expenses, ETC., of the
exposition, placing the expenditures at
$19, 3l90SS, and u total income of $29, 275, :
4S2 1t thinks the construction depart
Inent's expenses could be safely reduced to
SIS. 100000.
A special Worlds fair souvenir bill was
presented to-day. 1t provides for the issue
of treasury notes under the existing silver
law in payment for bullion with which to
mint souvenir coins; 100000. instead Of
800. GOO, as proposed in the original meas
ure, ara appropriated for medals and
diplomas.

Will Carleton, says the San Francisco
Chronicle of May 10, fully established him
self before large and delighted audience
last night as a most delightful entertainer.
He has better voice than has been
vouchsafed to most writer's, he uses it
judiciously, and the ''poet of America"
throws himself heartily into the sentiment
of his poems and gives them a most vivid
interpretations. His subject was the
Drama of Life'' and in it he introduced a
number of the comedy and melodramatic
gems of poetry which have made him fam
ous. He loses no time with his audience
and puts as much of wit, humor and
pathos into two hours talk as does any
single entertainer of the day. Mr.. Carle-
ton will deliver the Drama of Life" in
Encore hall on tho evening Of Decoration
day. Helena should give warm welcome
to the author of Farm Ballads.

Pegged Melody.

Geneva, noted for its manufacture of
all kinds of ingenious toys, has for one
of its chief industries the making of
music boxes. An American, who VS.
tied one Of the factories where this
work is carried on, thus describes its
processes: "The different parts are
made by men who are expert in those
parts, and they do nothing else year in
and year out. The music is marked on
the cylinder by man " no has served
several years of apprenticeship.
Another man inserts in the marked
places pegs which have been filed to a
uniform length. The comb or set of
teeth which strikes the pegs and makes
the sound is arranged by man who
does nothing else. The cylinder is
then revolved to see that every peg
produces its proper tone. The most
delicate work of all is the revising of
each peg. 1t is done by workman
who has good ear for music. He sees
that each peg is in its proper place and
bent at the correct angle. When the
instrument is in its case an expert ex-
amines it to see that the time is perfect
and good. The best workmen, those
who mark the cylinder and adjust the
pegs, earn a dollar and eighty cents a
day, after serving an apprenticeship of
ten or twelve years. An ordinary
workman earns dollar a day."-Ths
Rams Horn.

A Confederate Flag Returned.

Among the most interesting proceed
ings of the beard of aldermen r, Gently,
was its action in voting that the Cleve-
land Guards" flag, captured from the
Twelfth North Caroira troops at the
battle of Hanover Court House, Va,
May 27, 1862, be returned to the surviv-
ing members of Company f of that
command. This flag was in the GUS
tody of the city clerk. Its transferrence
to its former confederate owners had
been recommended by the "Society of
the old Ninth Regime mt, Massachusetts,
Volunteer and Mayor Matthews
heartily endorsed the sugg, stion. 1t is
another indication of the real fraterni-
cation which has taken place between
New England and the South. 1t is in
line with Senator Summers doctrine
that nothing should obtrusively remind
future generations of the vicissitudes
of the civil war. We are one people
so far as constitution and law can make
us the same, and have reached that
period of growth when patriotism does
not ri quire to be kept alive by remind.

The Only Confederate Officer Who
Led a Federal Charge.

Major McClurg, in the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, writes: | think | am

who led federal charge. This singu
thing | did, and here's how it was: 1t

and out of the spoils l had appro-

officer. In the main street of Selma |
met an aid named Brown-a gallant
fellow. He shouted to me that our
line had been broken and that Arm
strong was falling back, and told me to
get out or I'd be taken. just then
Armstrong and his staff galloped past,
and the general recognized us, calling
out: You must hurry out of this,
gentlemen. They are close on our
heels" Brown had a dispatch for
Colonel johnson, and he said be would
wait and deliver it if he died for it.
While we were talking, pistols in hand,
column of federal cavalry swung into
the street where we stood, coming full
tilt. We were so taken by surprise
that we could not get away. Brown
had on a new uniform that had just
run the blockade, and he was good
target. Half dozen troopers dashed
out from the line to catch him. We
were riding for our lives, Brown little
in the lead, so that it looked as though
was chasing him. The pursuers
passed me and ovt rhauled Brown, and
| caught glimpse of him as passed,
down on his back working his revolver,
with group of the enemy about him,
all shooting down at him and cutting
at him with their sabers. BY this time

An Incident Of Dom Pedro.

Deeply interested as was Dom Pedro
in scientific matters, it appears that he
once fell asleep at meeting where
such topics were being discussed. He
was making a tour through Italy at the
time, and had become very weary when
the hour for this gathering came. To
the earlier proceedings he gave close
heed, thereby greatly flattering the
principal speaker. But after the empe
ror had dozed off, the lecturer, not dis
covering the situation, ventured upon
an eulogy of the distinguished auditor.
Thereupon the audience loudly ap-
plauded, whereat Dom Pedro awoke,
and, surprising the demonstrations to
have been called forth by some utter
ance upon a purely scientific question,
Instantly began to clap his hands with
an air of conviction. -NeD York 1'rib-

A Soldiers Monument.

Cornish Flat, n. H., may be termed
back town, so far as railroads are con-
cerned, but can show several things
that entitle it to a place in the front
rank, chief among which is its soldiers
monument. 1t was erected at the cost
Of 81 900, but its artistic merit would be
better expressed by $4,000. 1t is a
square base of Sunapee granite some
eight feet high, on the sides of which
are cut the names of soldiers killed in
the war of the rebellion. Growing
the shaft is a granite soldier standing
at parade rest. The figure is perfect,
and the expression life like. The artist,
we are told, is an EnglishmaD, who did
the work in the quarry at Sunapee,
without pattern or guide save as his
correct eye governed his chisel.

Church Lotteries.

Cardinal Manning says: "All my life
long l have done my utmost to prevent
the holding of bazars, lotteries or iaff1 s
for works of charity or religion. 1t
seems to me that our Lords works
ought to be done in our Lords way;
that is, for his sake and with the purest
motive. Anything of self or of the
world mixing in, so far destroys the
purity of the motive, and, as st. Paul
says of chali ty, may reduce them to
nothing. We are all in danger of these
lower motives, and we certainly ought
not to encourage them" Another
says: Will the Protestant churches
ever learn to give up the grab-ba the
raffie, the chance games which are only
another form of lottery? Many churches
have alro ady discarded these obje ction-
able methods; but many more continue
to practice them, bringing the church
as an institution and the cause of re-
ligion also into conte mpt. 1t is well to
denounce that great swindle, the Louis
lana Lottery Company, but it is not at
all well to recognize the lottery idea in
the rafiles and prize bags and weight
guessing devices of the ordinary church

Phillips Brooks First Sermon.

{" The way in which Phillips Brooks
began to preach the gospel |, )" says Ju-
illus II. Ward in the January Ne,D Eng
land Magazine, I" is so unique that the
story must be told in full. Two or
three miles from the hill on which the
Alexandria Seminary stands is little
hamlet called Sharon, composed of poor
whites and negroes, which one of his
classmates undertook to work up. It
was task in which he needed help,
and Brooks reluctantly consented to 90.
After he had been once, his heart was
interested and he was ready to go again.
Here he preached his first sermon and
began the work of ministering to hu-
man souls. The success of the little
mission stirred up opposition, which was
headed by Northern man, who had
become an infdel and delighted to ex.
press his opinions to few followers.
These appeared determined to break up
the meetings; and when young Brooks
was fully aware of their purpose, one
Sunday, he denounced the whole set in
terms of scathing rebuke, which his
classmate still remembers as the most
searching and sarcas tic speech that he
ever heard. Little as he may have &C.
casion to use it, Phillips Brooks is as
effective and powerful a master of in
vective as ever Thee dore Parker was
and the effect of his speech upon this
little community was to destroy the OPP
pc ilion and to bring all but one of the
hostile persons, and that was not the
leader, to baptism and confirmation"
