models>of loo cO1noulves In tire Baltimore
and Ohio exhibit will be in the line and
will make parade such as no one ever saw
before. The Pennsylvania road will raise
steam in the old John Bull engine and run
1t up and down short stretch of track
for the accommodation of invited guests.
And it will pull train of cars such as
it pulled when it was the only locomotive
in the United States. At night the Trans
portation building will be gorgeously
illuminated, and there will be a special
pyrotechnic display over the great golden
door. 1t will be big day.
A feature of the land transportation
part of the parade will be the "bike" di-
vision. Heading it will be the old origi.
nal dandy horse" the first bicycle, and
then will come the old broad-tire wooden
wheels, and in succession the heavy iron
ones, then the high wheels with rubber
tires, and finally the safety pattern of 1898.
In all there will be nearly 100 wheels in the
parade, representing the various manufac.
turers as well as the different stages of ev-
olution.
The formal exercises of the Californians
will take place in their building at Q
O'Clock, opening with an address OF well
come on behalf of the California World's
fair commission and the state in general
by John ID. Whelan, vice president of Cal
lfornia commissioners. This will be fol-
lowed by an address by Stephen NJ. White,
United States senator from California, and
speeches by the president of the Western
Association of California Pioneers and by
a representative of the Mexican veterans.
The formal exercises will be enlivened and
varied by songs, recitations, and music by
the Third Wisconsin Regimental band.
But this is not all. To add to the days
trouble the Hoo-Hoos will break loose
during the afternoon and will march 100
newly-elected members around the
grounds for inspection. At IL o'clock the
hundred poor unfortunates were initiated
and after each one has treated the whole
club they will be marched through the
city and the fair grounds much to the cha.
grin of the young men who have vainly
sought admission to that most secret or
ganlzation. The motto of the club, a
black cat, will be one of the set pieces for
tonight's fire works
The Utah people will have receptions at
their building and concert by the Nor
mon choir of 250 voices.
At night there will be an unusually fine
display of fireworks, the chief set pieces
being finely executed Union emblems.

AN APPEAL FOR THE DESTITUTE.
There Are 10000 of Them in South Caro-

There Are go, 900 of Them in South Caro-
lima, Victims of the Storm.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. Ex-Governor B.
r. Tillman has issued an application for
help for the people of The islands and coun-
try ruined by the recent cyclone. After
referring to the desolation wrought by
wind and wave the governor says there
are not less than 10000 destitute. Bread
alone for these storm sufferers will cost
not less than s75, 900 between now and
March, while practically eleven months
will elapse before they can grow any.
Medicines, bed clothing-anything that
can be used IN house, because everything
is gone-will be thankfully received. I'VE
can buy these things With money, but IL
money is not to be had do not hesitate to
contribute Send all money to me-"
Appended to the governors appeal is the
report of DR.. L. w. Babcock, who has re-
Gently returned from trip through the
devastated region. Dr. Babcock says:
"The destruction of crops and homes was
more especially noticeable on the exposed
islaLds, which include Johns, Edisto, Port
Royal. Wadmalawa, Coosaw, St. Helena,
and the others adjacent. The territory ad-
Joining Combahee, Ashepoo, and the neigh
boring river was found to have suffered
serious losses. At the lowest estimates
fully 1000 lives were lost. The coroner Of
Beaufort places the number at 500. The
storm swept away at least one-half Of the
homes on the island facing the ocean"

Prof. Chambers Lecture.

Prof. Walter M. Chandler lee
tured on Ora nbles and Reveries in
Europe" before large audience at
Baylor university chapel last night.
Possessing remarkable descrip-
tive powers-the faculty of letting
others see what he has seen-having
clear enunciation and an animated
manner, SO different from the "wood.
en- man" style of many so.called
lecturers, the professor interested his
audience from the beginning and
held their undivided attention to
to the end of his brilliant and in.
structive talk.
Prof. Chandler spent fourteen
months in Europe and was evidently
close observer of men, manners
and customs.
The lecture was delivered under
the auspices of the Baylor Samme,

Mr.. Marion o. Harper, who, on
the evening of August the 3rd at 6
O'Clock, was by loving hands ten.
derby laid to rest in Greenwood
cemetery, was born in Pickens
county, Alabama, on the oath of
October, 1888, and was therefore at
his death almost 60 years of age.
On November the l3.h, 1862, in
Noxubee county, Mississippi, he
was married to Miss Callie Burton,
who Survives him. From this mar
riage four children were born, two
of whom survive him. Though a
baliev or in Christianity and always a
man of high moral character, he
never made public profession of
his faith in Christ until about the
year 1885, when he was united by
baptism with the Methodist church
at Iredell, and in the full fruition
of that faith he died. About six =
teen years ago he was stricken with
paralysis AMI lost completely the
use of his lower limbs, leaving, how
ever, unimpalred, his bodily vitality
and mental vigor, the latter of
which was retained by him until
death closed his eyes. Amid all
the trials which this afilction laid
upon him, thoughtful children, kind
friends and a wife with loving,
tender care labored to make for him
the passing moments pleasant.
While he, upheld by unfaltering
faith, was never heard once to com.
plain of the providence which go
sorely afflicted him. By his death,
loving children lost a kind and in.
dulgent father, devoted wife a
tender, loving husband and a host of
good men in Texas, Alabama and
