THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
One Haunting Fear PervadeS the Inner
Councils of the Managers of the
Worlds Fair.

The expense of organizing the Russian
section of Chicago Columbian Exhibi-
ton will amount to 800, 900 roubles.
The Greek government has voted 5OO,.
600 drachmas to be expended on the re-
production Of antique works of art for
the Worlds Fair.
The Duke of Veragua, the descendant
of Columbus, who has promised to visit
America as the guest of the nation next
year, has received the famous Order OF
the Golden Fleece from the Queen Re-
gent of Spain.
Mrs. Lsngtry is having doll three
feet high especially modelled to represent
her in face, and to be dressed exactly
as she was in cleopatra" Mrs. Lang
try sends the doll as a contribution to
the Chicago Exhibition.
One haunting fear pervades the inner
councils of the managers of the World g
Fair in Chicago. 1t relates to the possi-
bilities of the return of cholera with the
opening of spring. In that event it is
acknowledged that the Fair would re-
ceive blow from which it could scarcely
recover.
Auditor w. X. Alderman, of the
Worlds Fair Commission, has rendered
his resignation and has informed the
local Executive Committee that leak
exists between the treasurer's office and
the gates. Alderman does not charge
that the shortage is due to dishonesty,
but claims that thousands of tickets Of
admission to the Fair have disappeared,
and as he has no control over the men
at the gat he declines to jeopardize his
reputation by remaining in his Office.
The jelly palace to be erected by the
women of California for the Worlds
Fair, of which mention has before been
made in this column, will be lex20 feet
and twenty-five feet high. The entrance
will be by two doors, approached by
marble steps. The framework of the
building will be of wire, and on this will
be firmly placed several thousand Jelly
glasses-cups, globes, prisms, etc. con-
tanning jellies of many colors and shades
OF color arranged with artistic effect and
in beautiful designs. The cost of the
frame work and glasses alone is estimated
at $4,000, and the brilliant effect will be
heightened by many electric lights.

The Monkey wrench,

The monkey wrench is not called SO, on
account of it's fancied or actual resemblance
to monkey, or because it is a handy tool
to monkey" with, but simply because it
is the invention of Mr.. Charles Moncky,
of Kings county, N. Y. Although the
world has pretty nearly lost track of Mr..
Moncky, it seems to be settled fact that
he sold his patent for $1,000 and invested,

Obituary.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mcfarland, Esq,
died very suddenly at his home in johnson
on Intervening of March 10, 1892. He was
born at WatervilleJanua 26, 1S13-one of
twelve children of Osgood and Mary Nc
Farlapd. In 1886 he married Hannah Wal
lace of Cambridge, and became a resident
of that town, where he remained until 1871 i,
when Ehe removed to Hyde Park. Seven
years since he took up his final residence
in johnson. His wife dying in 1874, two
years later he married Mrs. Lavinia Ham
NETT of East Montpelier, who survives him
or feur children, only one is now living
Mrs. Charles I. Sabin of Montpelier. Mr..
Mcfarland represented Hyde Park in the
Legislature of 5S74-5, and was postmaster at
johnson under President Cleveland Farm
ing was the chosen pursuit of Mr.. McFar-
land during all his active life, and right
we'll did he honor his calling, in that he
illustrated the truth of the homely old

Intelligent and public spirited as citizen
true and loyal as a friend; exceptionally af-
fectionate and tender as a husband and
father-Mr. Mcfarland leaves no stain upon
his life record and his genial greeting and
hearty cordiality will he missed by a very
large circle of acquantances. Funeral
services were observed at johnson on Mon
day, conducted by Rev. j. K. Wright of
Montpelier, aud the interment was made at
Waterville.

Governor Page at Home.

Hyde Park, pleasantly located among the
mountains Of Lamoille county, some thirty
miles from Montpelier is the home of Yer
mOnt's chief executive, Carroll S. Page, and
there he lives year in and year out except
when called away by the affairs of his many
sided business, and during the few months
every second year when the Legislature is in
session. Hyde Park is village of only a
few hundred inhabitants, and in Governor
Pages big hide-house is its principal indus
try. The only imposing piece of architec-
ture in the place is the brand-new Hotel
Phoenix. In modest white cottage on the
main street live the governor and his charm
ing wife and family. He will live there,
however only few more months, as prep
arations are making for the erection of
handsome house the coming spring and
summer. Governor Page has all his life
been very busy man, and since his cleo
non. two years ago, to the governorship, he
has been more than ever tied up. When
the duties OF his office carry him away for
a week the work piles up at home at rate
that would discourage less energetic and
methOdical man. But the governor looks
forward with eagerness to the day when he
may step down and out of the executive Of
nce. There Is little or no social life con-
nected with the governorship of Vermont,
formal reception or two during the legis-
latiye session being about the extent of it.
During the summer and fall, however, the
governor is kept on the move-laying cor
ner-stones, presiding at banquets and col
lege commencements No Vermont gov
ernor has shown himself to better advan-
tage in the performance of these functions
than the present chief executive. He is a
fine speaker, and has faculty of being en-
tirely at ease with any subject that he at
tempts. Governor Pages home life is es-
sentially quiet, broken only by the mild
dissipation OF surprise party, church So
cial, or other ordinary incidents in the life
OF small New England community. Mr..
Page is forty-eight years old, spare of figure,
a trifie bald, and has an eye as sharp as the
prover0ial eagles He rises early in the
morning, breakfasts at seven, and then
passes about two hours in the open air. At
nine he goes to his office. and wades into
his mass of CORE Npondence, assisted by his
energetic private secretary and secretary OF
civil and military affairs, III, NJ. Mcfarland
After dinner, there is, perhaps, drive;
then more work, continued sometimes far
into the evening. Thus the governors days
go by in Hyde Park,-Bert L. Taylor in Bos-
ton Sunday Globe.

transportation on the plea Of being
the servant of the railroads.
1t is folly to talk about refusing
to nominate men who will accept
free rides, unless we go further.
What we want of our Legislators is
that they pass laws that will protect
the people against paying robber
railroad bills. Whenever railroad
companies have to reach down into
their own pockets for the "change"
to pay expenses Of free rides, be
sure there will be no free passes is-
sued; but the free pass iniquity
cannot be stopped by an isolated
man here and there refusing to ride
on free pass.
The Journals remedy is not nearly
adequate to the disease. Advance
the party to power that is in favor
of doing away with our present
railroad system, and we'll have a
permanent cure for all railroad evils.

Gree Transportation"
No man should be nominated for
congressman, state senator or repre-
sentative who will sell his soul to
the railroads by accepting free
transportation.-Garnett Journal.
We are not sure as to the meaning
Of the journal. If man is free
agent, he may, it may be assumed,
dispose of his soul as he pleases !;
but we are sure that no congress
man, state senator or representative
should be elected "who will sell"
the peoples interests for "free
transportation" or for any other
consideration. Neither should any
party be advanced to. power that
does, or will, sell the wealth and
liberty of the masses. For at least
quarter of a century, the interests
of the masses have been sold not
for the mere bagatelle of free ride,
but for millions of dollars. While
it is true that Legislators should not
accept free rides (if for no other
reapon, for the sake of appearances),
it is equally true that all the talk
about free passes is the cheapest
kind of thunder. The whole sys-
tenn upon which our railroads are
conducted-free passes included
is wrong, but to lop off free passes
and leave all the rest unmOlested
would be as sensible as looping off
twig to kill a tree.
The railroad companies take what
they please from the people, and if
they did not bestow it in free passes,
they would probably shove it into
their pockets +; but the people would
be no better of. Deprive railroads
of the power to take from one man
to give to another. not only in free
transportation, but in everything.
Railroad companies do not buy
men with free rides. They do not
want cheap men, if men could be so
cheaply bought. Railroad compa-
MES are big things, and they aim at
big things. Railroad companies
own party organizations. They
may, or they may not, have bought
them. We are not posted as to the
consideration passed, but we are
sure that railroad companies own
the Republican party organization
in Kansas, and the Democratic party
organization in Iowa. A Republic

official Iowa, is entitled to free

In that early period in our ma

On too many pages of history is
the fact recorded that the Republi-

Yes, surely: and those who are
now singing tie deums to the Re-
publican gold-bug party, without
having any clearly-defined idea why
they do so, should also remember
that, had it not been for the persist
ent labor of such men as Peter Coop

bert De La Mater, whom the Re-
publican gold-bug party was pleased
to denounce and call "rag-baby i'm
becils," the SAC, 200, 900 greenbacks
which the supreme court saved from
obstruction would have gone up in
smoke.

The Register uncovers an amaz-
ing amount of cheek in claiming
that the Republicans saved the rem
nant of greenbacks from the general
holocaust.
