A PECULIAR FLOWER.
It Comes from South Africa and Cannot

De Well Described.
Everything is big at the worlds fair.
You see and hear there the biggest
men, the biggest buildings and the
biggest lies in the world. Even the
flowers are big. Over in the green
house there is one that opened the
other day. There is nothing as big as
it in America. 1t is A inches long and
is the first of its kind ever bred in this
part of America. II comes from south
ern Africa and 1t is known as the Aros-
tolochia Gigas Sturtevanti, which in
plain English means Sturtevant's big
birthwort-
The uncanny-loolzing blossom is hard
to describe. 1t looks like a great
many not very pretty things. Sir
Samuel Vernon Steele, standing be-
hind IL. said:
"It looks like lobster"
Mr.. Hughes, standing in front Of it
said:
ut looks like parrot"
II did look like both parrot and lob
ster. II also looked like musicians S
bag. q green gooseliner and roquefort
cheese. But it is mighty rare and
extraOrdinary-appearing blossom, mot
tied green in color and hanging by a
slender rope from net of leaves which
its growth has spread under the glass
roof of the greenhouse. 1t comes from
southern Africa and was brought back
here by the Stanley expedition. In
Africa the flower sometimes grows to
length of seventy-two inches The
Arostolochia Gigas Is akin to the
plant known as the ''Dutchman's Pipe.

FRENCH STATUE OF THE REPUBI@C
Administration building, the lower
but equally graceful roofs of Machinery
hall, which are given further variety
by little turrets on the pavilions at the
corners of the building. and by the
beautiful line which indicates the
curve of the rotunda ceiling in the
Agricultural building.
There is charm in the outline and in
the mass, a mingling of dignity with
piquancy in the Court OF Honor as it is
seen from the top Of the Administra-
tion building. The charm is there
when the vision is directed over the
Machinery and Agricultural buildings,
the former alive with winged Victories
on its roofs, the latter crowned with
the Diana of Mr.. St Gaudens 1t is
there when the eye travels straight
down the center of the court, and sees
between the majestic facades Mr..
Freneh's noble statue of the Republic,
and behind it the peristyle bearing
above its massive columns the Co
lumbus quadriga, a triumphal group
looming superbly against the sky.

Mn.hlnrton Monumen, j. co,n..

Worlds Fair Director Fred w. Peck
has at last succeeded in his plan of
having a pile of the silver souvenir
coins stacked up in an architectural
way. Arrangements have been COM
pleted to begin building a reproduc-
tion of the Washington monument at
the capital in souvenir 50-cent pieces.
This solid silver model will be eighteen
feet high and two and half feet wide
at the base. Ii will make big draft
on Treasurer Seeberger's stack of
coins but its appearance will be most
attractive and Is expected to excite an
additional call for the souvenirs. The
silver monument will be erected in the
center of Manufactures building, under
the great white clock tower. An at
tendant viii be placed in charge TO
sell the souvenirs.

States Attorney J. c. Jones Of Rutland,
with Justice j. b. Moore and Sheriifs Pea
body and Whitaker, went to Pttsford last

the store they secured six bottles of wheat
Btters'' and at the residence cask partly
filed with whiskey. Drake appeared with
his counsel I. w. Maloney, at the hearing,
which was held at the Otter Greek House in
the afternoon, aud claimed the whiskey on
tho ground that it was part of the same
liquor seized about 10 days previous and
ordered returned to him by Justice Wayne
Bailey, who heard the case at that time.
He also claimed the Wheat Bttersh on
the ground that it was proprietary medi-
cine and ito sale was not contrary to law.
The States attorney called several witnesses
and among them were found those who
testified to having purchased intoxicating

ist of Rutland, was present as witness and
submitted report of an analysis he had
made Of "Wheat Bitters." He said SO far
as he could discover there was no medicina

practically whiskey. The court adjudgec

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION GETS IT.

Near-Ihe SeIection UnanI mous.

Breeders Meeting to BE Held There This
Near-The selection Unanimous.
Ex-Gov. G. w. Heudee of Morrisville
and j. l.. Bacon of White River Junction
were in the city Tuesday nisnton their way
home after attending the mesting OF the ex-
eculive committee Of the Vermont Road
and Trottng Horse Breeders association at
Rutland that day. The other members
of tn, committee present at the meet
ing we're: j. W. Cramtou of Rutland,
ii. T. Cults of Orwell, j. c. Parker of
Quechse, Z. F. Brownell of this city, c. 4.
Chapman OF Ferrsburgh, f. II. Harrington
of Brandon and W. w. Moore of Shore
ham. After some discussion it was voted
to hold the neat meeting Ghis year at
White River Junction the last three days in
August. The proposition of the Rutland
County Agricultural society was that the
Breeders association could have the use of
its fair grounds for 500, and the citizens
agreed to give 800, which would make the
cost $500 to the society. The White
River junction people propose to let
the association have the kite track grounds
there if it would keep the track in repair
during tho meeting and pay rental of
5000, providing the net profits of the meet
ing amounted to that and If thcre were 20
profits, no pay would be asked for the use
of the grounds This proposition was ac-
ceptod unanimously. MIR. Cramton of Rut-
land did not vote but expressed himself as
well satisfied. The committee rather
thought the association ought to go to
! White River junction in fairness to that
locality and because it would be of great
advantage to the breeders of the State on
account of the superiority of the track;
thus enabling their colts to make faster
time. Mr.. f. +. Brownell of this city was
elected superintendent.
