Is the worlds fair likely TO prove a
financial success? This question is ably
discussed in the July Forum by Frank
lin II. Head, vice president of the
American Trust and Savings bank of
Chicago, who adroitly disentangles the
complicated exposition accounts. The
impression that the exposition is impov-
erished or nearly bankrupt is erroneous.
But he thinks the stockholders and the
city of Chicago, from the simple stand
point of dollars and cents, Will lose
about S., 900, 600 or $1,000, 600 as a result
of the exposition direct, and as much
more by indirect sacrifice and deprecia-
ton of property. All this, however, he
insists, will be more than compensated
for by the countless benefits to the
country at large.

A gentleman who headed an expedi-
ton through Abyssinia not long ago
came. after long march. upon a spot
near river bank which he concluded
, would serve very well for his camp.
I But he decided that certain elearings
must be made and that il could best be
done by firing the country about. Ac-
. cordingly he started off in the morning,
accompanied by some natives, to famil
iarize himself with the main features
of the neighborhood They rode for
some distance into the interior, coming
upon a large tract of high, withered
grass, and were passing through 4 mass

the high grass, when they suddenly

SINKING OF THE BATTLESHIP
VICTORIA.

The frightful disaster which has be.
| fallen the British battleship Victoria
| during naval maneuver off the coast
Of Syria, accompanied by the appalling
| loss Of over four hundred lives, recalls
similar calamity in the English chan
mel on the night Of May 81. 1878, when
| the German man-of-war Grosser kur-
furst was sent to the bottom of the sea
with nearly all on board.
These huge marine monsters, so pow
erfUl of OffenSe. aud able TO Withstand
tie ponderouS iron rain from hundreds
of hostile guns, prove as fragile as an
eggshell when tapped amidship by a
friendly Prov. This element of weak
ness seems inseparabIe from any YES
sci which the hand Of man has as yet
been able to construct Below the
water line the most formidable of MOI
ern battleships are as helpless against
the blow of ram as Gloucester fishing
smack would be. The enormous weight
OF protective armor and Of the huge
guns render such vessels top-heavy, and
but little disturbance Of equilibrium is
required to toppie them over. The
chance of ramming in actual warfare,
however. would be extremely remote,
and marine architects have generally
disregarded it in their plans, not feeling
called upon to provide against the un-
toward consequences of faulty seaman
ship in friendly fleet.

If all the S63s, 900. 600 IN gold that have
been coined in the United States were
still in the country, together with all the
hundreds of millions of silver and paper
currency uttered by the government ur
to the present time, amounting in all to
about S24 for every inhabitant, there
would seem to be no excuse for hard
times anywhere in this land The
trouble is the money, nor the half of il.

portion of il that remains in the country.
the greater part being boarded by indi-
viduals, by corporations and by the gov

ions of dollars in money and then store
1t away in Its treasury vaults, withhold
ing it from circulation, but that Is what
ii is doing continually.

Hutchinson News: Bacon said "a
country will be rich that has fertile
soil, easy means for the transportation
of goods and busy workshops" Kansas
lacks none of these, but only needs more
people to cultivate the fertile soil, and
more busy workshops. The money of

muneratiye rut and certainly come 20
the progressive and productive west for
investment. Down east spectators may
get hard pressed occasionally, but it viii

Under the pillows wild and dread
-Four hundred OF England's brave are dead
Meath moaning waves are lying
While England's standards dropping owe
That never traiIed in fight TO foe.
And England's sons are signing.
Wet their cheeks and dim their eyes,
For deepin the ocean bed there lies,
Her braves who foes defied,
Cheeks that would flush with triumph red,
If news came home that her gallent dead
Had, for England's Glory, died.
Under the pillows cold ard still,
Cntouch'd 10y sword or battle thrill.
The braves Of Tryon sleep,
These stormy souls. they would delight
To die maintaining England's might.
Forthese the brave of Britain weep,
They would not weep if these had died
On the bloody deck of England-s pride,
In battles shock and roar,
hid clashing blades and raining lead,
With England's hammer over head.
And the ock-pit running gore,

Here Is something of Bent Murdock's
experience at the worlds fair, as given in
his Ell Dorado Republican of last Friday:
Arriving at the grounds it is walk,
walk, walk, tramp. tramp, stand and
look or gawk by the hour; 10 place to
sit down, no stopping place. Going into
one of the great buildings, You move
from one object to another and before
the day Is half over your legs are ready
to drop of, your back is broken in two
and yet you just keep right on looking
and tramping and talking and standing.
The few seats are always taken. 1t is
great show and one must see it. The
excitement is the inspiration. The
crowd dazes you while the maguificence
of everything drives you Oh and on. We
are tired and hungry and dusty and it is
time to 60 to the hotel and rest, but we
don't go; we stay till dark and go back
the first thing in the morning. We stay
all that day and half the night and yet
the next morning we are back again
How important then shat you be clad
comfortably. Dark colored, light weight,
easy fitting, comfortable toggery, and
above all, comfortable shoes.
