WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

GOVERNOR FLOWER. OF New York has been
spending a week at the Far.
WITH the opening Of the German section
I'm Machinery Hall the display made by the
German Empire has been declared on exit
bition In every department Of the Fair. The
Exhibit consists OF mining, woodworking
and printing machinery and the apparatus
used In the manufacture OF paper and paper
pressing.
The home for the little folks at the Fair
has been opened with simple exercises. The
programme was carried out principally by
children. A number of choruses were sung
under the direction OF Professor Hartung
a company OF children, under the leadership
Of Miss Huntington, gave an interesting drill
In the gymnasium on the first floor. after
which luncheon was served. The children's
building Is typical kindergarten, and every
contrivance imaginable TO interest and in
Htruct young folks has been secured. The
larger children will have the benefit of a
gymnasium on the first floor. and adjacent
rooms have been fitted with cradles and cribs
which Il is expected will be used extensively
Visitors at the Fair who have children can
leave them here. No child under two years
Of age will be admitted. The Japanese Com.
missioners have given large number OF dolls
and juvenile literature has been furnished by
the German Commissioners, Illinois giving
the bookcases. The building was erected at
u Cost Oi Efo,UuO. Inc playground IL on tne
roof, which Is furnished with swings and
hammocks. A trained corps of nurses will
be In constant attendance on the children.
The formal opening of the Electricity
Building has at last taken place. The feature
of the display was the unveiling and lighting
OF the big Edison tower erected by the Gen
eral Electric Company. This shaft is sit
uated In the exact centre of the building and
represents the highest achievement OF the In
candescent lamp. II extends into the groined
arch formed by the intersection OF the nave
and the transept, reaching height OF about
100 feet. The methods used in construction
have resulted in showing perfect column,
Iss though the entire shaft were hewn from
I)ne massive block Of stone. II springs from
the roof Of pavilion surrounding the base,
and the entire interior is strewn with thou
sands OF incandescent lamps, us many hued
as the western sunset. The colors are ar
ranged by mechanical methods, capable OF
being flashed In harmony with the strains OF
music. The column Is crowned with WELL
Iproportioned replica of an Edison incan-
descent lamp formed from q multitude OF
pieces OF prismatic crystals. Upward Of 30,.
900 OF these beautiful jewels are strung on
frame, and are all lighted from the interior
by large number OF incandescent lamps.
The effect produced is marvellous, and can be
appreciated only when seen.

Natural Science Museum, OF Rochester, has
an exhibit which Professor Putnam says IL
perfect. II shows every form Of animal life
"from sponges to man" Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Colorado send the birds and NAM

In the line OF documentary exhibits are
found charts and maps Of the world anterior

HOMESTEAD CASES WITHDRAWN


The Murder. Riot and Conspiracy
Charges Nollc Prossed. How.
~ Came About.
A dispatch from Pitisburg, Pa, snys: The
charges against II. q. Frick and others OF
the Carnegie steel Company aud the Pin
kerton detectives have all been nolle pross-
ed, and this action is the beginning Of the
end Of the famous Homestead cases, which
threatened to drag along In the courts for
couple OF years and cost Allegheny county
much money, The attorneys for the ey-
strikers with the consent OF the leaders OF
the men, made this move.

The strikcrs' attorneys have been sntis.
fed for time that they could not sustain
the charges against Frick and others and
ON Friday Thomas NJ. Marshall called on
District Attorney Clarence Burleigh and
state to him that the prosecution, after d
full examination, had decided TO request
that no further proceedings be had IN the
case. M they were satisfied that no lust
cause for finding the Indictment existed.
This was surprise 10 the District Attorney,
and he asked Mr.. Marshall 10 prepare let.

effect.
This was done and the letter was signed
by Mr.. Marshall w. J. Bremen and John

against them have not been dropped, they
will not be called for trial at this term Of
court, and when they are called n plea Of
nolo contendre will likely be entered and a
suspension of sentence follow.
District Attorney Burleigh says they must
be judicially detc' mined and this mears
that they must put IN plea OF some kind
unless the attorneys employed by the Car.

A Hustler.

In this glorious Republic of ours no
man need stand abashed at obstacles in
life, but move on and let the guiding
star be ever sought until success crowns
his efforts. Several years ago there
arrived in San Antonio, Texas, Uriah
Lott, to fame and fortune comparative
ly unknown, but with shrewd common
sense to guide him, and without in
fiuence financially he succeeded in
building between six and seven hundred
miles of one of the finest railroad prop
critics in the South. The capital he
possessed to start with was hardly suf-
ficient to keep his family in provisions
until his scheme was an assured sue
cess. Common sense. told him there
was great need for line of railroad

Antonio upon the south. With might
and wlll-pOWer he commenced solicit
ing subscriptions and agitating the
building south. AS soon as enough
money was raised to buy a few goods,
he opened a cOmmissary and COM
menced hiring hands. Before payday
arrived he had several miles of grading
almost completed With the leverage
of this work he obtained considerable
money and notes as bonus, but not
enough by half to pay his workmen.
So ne informed them that they would
be compelled to accept 40 per cent. cash
and the balance the following pay day.
AS the section at that time was over
supplied with common labor the men
reluctantly agreed. He styled his road
the San Antonio and AranSas Pass.
AS soon as the first few miles were
graded he purchased lot of second
hand rails from the Southern Pacific r.
r., together with an old engine which
had been condemned as worthless. He
laid his track, patched and painted his
engine, and commenced service upon
his line with two hired flat cars. In
the meantime his second payday had
passed and without cent of money
and with very short stock of merchan-
disc, but by fair promises and cOnSidera-
BILE persuasion he got his men to agree
to wait another month. A repetition
of these tactics with a small amount of
cash sufficed for many pay-days,
and in five years the outcome was
fine paying system of six or seven
hundred miles of railroad under the
management of Uriah Lott, president,
and upon the records of Bexar county,
Texas, stand recorded many blocks of
property in Uriah Lofts name. A
brownstone front upon Congress Ave-,
is his residence Such has been the
success of hustler unknown to the
world ten years ago. What fools men
are not to hustle honestly instead of
wasting brains devising dishonest
means to get small gains. X. c.

Of WiSdOm'S costly merchandise?
Wisdom to silver we prefer
And gold is gross compared to her.
Her hands are fill'd with length of days.
True riches and immortal praise;
Riches of Christ on all bestowed
And honor that descendS from God.
To purest joys she all invites.
Chaste holy. spiritual Delights;
Her ways are ways of pleaSantnesS,
And all her flow'ry paths are peace.

The faith that sweetly works by love.

Our Associates.

In the choice of associates lies the
source of all our troubles; if we would
only stop to consider who we are asso-
ciating with we would be saved vast
amount of woe. We rush madly along
until we fall into the lowest and vilest
pits of degradation and sin. We can
not always judge man by the clothes
he wears. but we can almost invariably
judge him by his companions. 1t makes
no difference how upright or good he
may be; if he delivers himself to be led
by his evil companions he will fall fast,
as sure as there is God in heaven. His
first lesson in the art of vice, if [ may
call it an art, is the cigarette or cigar;
from these he goes to the wine-roOm;
then he soon finds that wine is not
strong enough, SO he is prevailed upon
to take something stronger; being east
ly persuaded he learns to take his tod
dies; he learns the road to the bar-rOOm
and goes. from there to the gambling
hell. By adding these up you find that
the sum makes total in disgrace and
ruin. How many of us have dear old
mothers at home who may be singing
that beautiful song: "Oh where is my
wandering boy tonight ?" Little she
thinks that her boy is languishing be-
hind prison bars. And suppose she does
know, and you ask her the cause of her
boys downfall she will quickly tell you
it was ''bad company" What have we
gained by these associations? Nothing,
absolutely nothing. What have we lost?
Everything, character, reputation and
name have gone. We have neither
friends nor home. But, as our little pa
per says, "It is never too late to mend"
so when the prison gates are open for
us and we again breathe the fresh air
of liberty, let us try and follow these
good old words:
'Shun evil companions.
Dark passions Subdue
Look ever to Jesus
He will carry you through
DIXIE.
