Of the Empire have 70 reason to be ashamed.
There is one feature Of tho exhibit. though.
that strikes one as somewhat strange. As
each foreign country makes special feature
OF its chief staple. one would naturally
associate Germany with the brewing in
dustry. Yet Germany does not vaunt her
beer. but makes = special feature OF her
mineral waters. Her malt liuuorS ara dis

gallon Of beer. she offers two gallons OF
water FROM her Samous springs.
Wheat in all forms :s the prevailing
characteristic OF the Russian display.
although her other cereals and her fruits
make an excellent showing. The interest
taken by the Empire OF the Gar in the eS-
position is clearly shown in this department..
where it enters as competitor ofshe United
States rs wheat growing country. The
Russian pavilion is not SO gaudy as some
others. but it is filed With interesting
material for those wac wish to study closely
the differences existing between the products
OF this country and those Of its great rival.

ediu other buildings than in this, although her
exhibit in this is extremely crsdita5le AZ far
as it goes. Japan's contribution to the ex-
hibit OF silk culture is valuable one.
The best illustration o. silk culture is ma1o
by the Woman's Silk Culture Association. OF
Philadelphia. This association has been re-
sponsible in 4 great degree for the general
OF silk worms aud the production OF raw
silk. Silk worms are shown in their differ
ent conditions. together with all the appli-
ances used for reeliug silk from the cocooIs
and preparing 1t for the manufactures.
France and Spain have also made fine show
ings In this department.
Ina style no less magnificent than that
which characterizes ths displays Of foreign
Nations. the various States OF the American
Union have come forward with exhibits.
New York, properly enough, has been given
the greatest amount OF space, and while the
Empire State has not seen fit to erect 4 pl-
vilion that yies in go-seouSness with those OF
soms Of the Western States her showing is 4
remarkably good one, and comprehensive

Ceylon's merchants look for great results
from this display
Brazil. now q sister Republic sends the en-
tire National display from last years exhibi-
tion at Rio Janeiro. Coffee Is naturally the
staple OF the exhibit. and it is il evidences
from the berry to the liquid in the breakfast
cup. The entire process OF its production
from first to last is elaborately illustrated,
and q series Of samples will show the differ
ent varieties. 1t is the most complete show
ing Brazil has ever made.
Now the stunted, little considered Kaffr
comes to the front from Capa Colony, but the
display is more Of an chronological than an
agricultural character. Ornaments that deck
the psrsons of the dark skinned savages on
saints and fast days, as well as state occa-
sions. ara shown In the greatest profusion,
together with necklaces that form a COM
bined gown and crlnolins for the maids or
matrons who wear them
Tne stork Of Denmark has taken his roost
hard by the South African ostrich. perched
on the roof Of one Of the two cottages that
form the Danish pavilion. In contrast to
the snowy and elaborate edfaces on every
side of them, these cottages, whose quaint
roofs are covered with thatch and whose win
dows contain picturesque diamond shaped
panes OF glass, present quite an old time ap-
pearance, and diffuse On atmosphere OF the
long ago. In fact, such dwellings as these
are a grateful relief from the brilliancy and
carishness that Is the characteristic OF so
many OF the pavilions. DenmarS's display
is a very complete one.
Mexico. being Immediately to the south OF
us, feels it her bounden duty to give to the
people OF this country a correct idea OF what
she really is and can do, and, therefore, for
tho purpose Of housing her display, has
erected pavilion more solid and substantial
than that OF any other country. Ornamental
iron gateways form the entrances. and the
same metal furnishes the material for much
of the interior furnishing. Since American
enterprise invaded the land OF the Montezu-
mas Mexico has made great progress in both
agriculture and mining, and 1t is this 3d-
vance that is now being shown.
Frances colonies, Anam and Tonquln,
have pavilion Of their own. and do not
make their display with the home Govern
ment. This pavilion is in the form OF huge
dome, surmounted by star and crescent.
So Isr as taste is concerned Holland is not
behind any OF her big sisters in the design OF
her pavilion. It's front Is broad archway,
with Columbus on either side, creating an
effect that is pleasing.
Italy. although she came in late, has made
the best OF the time afforded her, and Is we'll
represented, and the same may be said OF
Greece. Paraguay, Honduras and humorous
other countries.
Japan has clever display, consisting
chiefly OF teas and the methods used In that
country for the cultivation of the silkworm.

Mr. and Mrs. Allen Roberts, who live in
Grant Township. four and a quarter miles
northeast Of Gasetown, Mich. The family COP
sisted OF father. mother and seven children.
About 8 a. m. Mr. Roberts's son was awak-
ened by the smell Of smoke, and found his
bedclorhes on fire. He aroused his brother
and his guest George Frost, OF Sherwood,
Mich, who was also visiting the family.
Young Roberts jumped out OF the chamber
window on the second floor and rushed to
his fathers bedroom window on the first
floor. He finally succeeded In rescuing his
father, mother and little sister. His other
brother and sister also made their escape,
but Mr.. Babcock. his wife and child and
George Frost parished in, tbs flames, az did
the ssven-year-old son OF Mr.. Roberts. OF
the five persons burned nothing remained
but their charred trunks.

early in the morning liShtni"9 struck the
house and set it on fire. The~-lmates prob
ably never aroused. and were sufocsted long
before the flames reached them. This does
not apply to Mr.. Frost. who, 1t is supposed,
tried 10 rescue MIR. Babcock and bis vile, an0

Miss Hannah Roberts had her hands and
arms terribly burned before she could get
out. and the attending physician thinks she
may not recover.
Miss Roberts and Mr. Frost wore engaged
TO be married this fall. The death OF MIR.

product piled all around him and reaching
high in the air; mountains Of food studs on
all sides. All varieties OF tastes are catered
to in the individual display, but the ensem-
bic is not altogether pleasing. 1t is only
from the east and west galleries that the visi-
tor can obtain an idea Of the immensely OF
the general display. Mosques, towers, cas-
ties. temples. paSodas and structures embrac-
Ing every known variety of architecture
crowd upon each other in pleasing confusion.
and offer to the beholdcr vision of what has
been in the building line since tho world be-
gan, aud what may be expected In years to
come where the laws and regulations regard
ing such things are lax.
The main floor of the great hall is divided
between foreign countries and the States
composing the great American Union. Other
Nations than the United States occupy the
space north OF the grand or central aisle.
which runs east from the main entrance, and
the various States are to the South OF 1t.
There is no reason why tho visitor should be
dazzled by the multiplicity OF displays II he
will but keep the plan OF arrangement In his
head. When he gets to the galleries 1t will
be somewhat different, for there he will come
acroes exhibits OF every conceivable kind
representing tia work OF thousands OF prl-
vate individuals and representing bewil-
dering array.
But as to tho displays OF the Nations from
over the sea. , The mighty countries OF the
European continent are here prepared to as
sert themselves and claim the attention they
consider their due. Great Britain, France,
Russia, the wheat field of Europe, and Ger
many have been given the largest areas. and
these have been divided to the best advan-
tage.
Brightness is q characteristic OF the Eng
lish section, gaudy showcases OF every de-
scription abounding. bearing in gilt letters
the names Of exhibitors and the wares to be
displayed. A feature, however, that does
not come under the head Of shopSeeping ex-
hibits is the model of the stud farm OF the
husband Of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, at
HiShSate, not far from London. Every de-
tail in the model, from the clock tower over
the stable to the horses in the stalls. has been
faithfully reproduced. This farm is one OF
the largest of its kind in the world, and
breeders will view the model with much more
than ordinary interest.
The greater part Of the space allotted to
Australia has been appropriated by New
South Wales, which has constructed pa
vilion almost entirely Of bales OF wool. This
structure claims no particular originality OF
design. its chief merit being the unique cnar-
acter OF the material composing it. 1t is ap-
prop-iate, however, as Nav South Wales is a
famous sheep raising country. Inside OF this
wooden rampant there is an exhibit, taStetully
arranged, OF all the agricultural products OF
the most advanced OF the great divisions OF
the island continent. A feature OF the pa
vilion is large and solid OK wagon, con-
structed for travel il the bush.

A Bankers SUICIDE.

The Proprietor OF Wards Eank. For
estvllle, y. Y, Found Dead.
The doors Of Wards Bank. OF Forestyille,
n. Y, private corporation, failed to open u
few mornings ago. Wild rumors are flying
about concerning the cause. It is thought
there was probably ,0oo to s75.O0O Of de-
posits. Ward has long been considered one
OF ths strong men Of Chautauqua County,
and has been connected with the banks In
Forestville since early in the seventies.
When it became known that ths bank haa
not opened there was a great commotion IL
the village. At once the widest rumors about
Ward began to be circulated 1t was at first
thought he had absconded, but an investiga'
tion led to the discovery OF his dead body in
the rear Of his house. It Is supposed he
committed suicide. but whether because Of
an impending failure OF the bank or OF tenn
porary insanity Is only conjecturd.
