TAKEN as a whole, the book of the
Fair, by Hubert Howe Bancroft, is
probably the best presentation of the
Columbian Exposition, historical and
descriptive, which has been attempted.
The plan is comprehensive, and yet
not too extended, the aim being to
give the Exposition entire in pictures
and print, in one thousand imperial
folio pages, that is to say twenty-five
parts of forty pages each. BY taking
the leading exhibits Of class as rep
resentative of the whole, giving the
rest minor mention, TO n greater or
less extent, the entire round can be
made, and yet the total result be a
work not too cumbersome or expen-
sive for the general public to handle
and purchase.

The Glorious 4th passed off very
quietly in town; the stores were al
open as usual. Many of our citizens
attended the festival and fireworks
in the evening at Vinegar Hill
which was held under the superyis-
ion of the Epworth League at that
place. There was brilliant display
of fireworks, and the affair passed of
quite pleasantly notwithstanding the
great crowd of people In attendance
We understand that the enterprise
was great success financially, and
was all due to the energy and per-
severance OF Mr.. H. M. Brown oil
Secane, Pa, who very kindly fur
nished all the fireworks on his own
responsibility, paying the sum of one
hundred dollars therefor, which was
a very nice donation from our young
friend. May he live, and do likewise
next year.
The Children's Day exercises at
Rowlandville M. E. Church, under

such matters at that place.

below them and cut off escape several

and were crushed by the fall. The
burning tower soon came down upon
them earring large section of the
roof into the burning building. The
crowd of people about the building was
so dense that it could not move out OF

were caught and persisted in addition
to the firemen. The building was a
mere shell of pine veneered with mate
rial which gave it solid marble-like
appearance.
