the setting of the type to the complete
paper-all done by machinery. The Of
ficial fair paper, the Duty Col"mbtan, is
printed here. This unique paper con-
sists of eight pages. Three are devoted
to official announcements, and each of
the other five are taken up by Chicago
paper. Therefore, the purchaser re-
ceives parts of six papers in one,
In the power room of this building
are some wonderful boilers Here can
be seen the largest single boiler in the
world. Itconsumes fifteen tons of water
every hour and has a heating surface of
100000 square feet. Three 1000 ton
travelling cranes are in operation, pro-
PEELED by electric motors. They move
easily and smoothly, and carry seventy
five tons quickly from one part of the
building to the other.
The manufacture of paper is shown
very thoroughly and occupies large
amount of space. As the rolls are made
they are taken to the printing section
and turned into daily papers.
Apart from the special days, the week
has been taken up by our Welsh citizens
with their Worlds fair eisteddfod.
Choirs from all parts of the country, in
Guiding Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, were
in attendance, also male and female
choir from Wales. On Wednesday an
ovation was rendered to Griffith r.
Jones (Caradog), of Wales, who was di-
rector of the Welsh choir which won
the $1,000 gold cup trophy in 1873 at
London in a competition against the
world. David James, of Eckley, was
among the interested persons in the
audience each day and he praises highly
the singing.
The feature of this was the winning
of the S., 900 grand prize by the Choral
Union Of Scranton. Every Pennsylya-
nian here was proud to hear the decision
and no doubt it was welcome news to our
Welsh citizens Of the coal regions. They
had to compete against some strong
choirs, especially the one from the
Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Utah, which
was confident of winning.
Another event of interest is the Catho-
lie congress in session here. All the dig
nitaries of the church, including Cardi-
nal Gibbons and Archbishop Satolli, have
attended, but so far none of the large
and talented delegation appointed by
Bishop OHara to represent the Scran-
ton diocese have made themselves
heard, Social and labor questions are
the principal topics yet discussed.
Among the many brilliant papers read on
these subjects | noticed a strong single
tax sentiment, and every allusion, how
ever faint, to this theory brings forth
applause.
Satolli's advice. in the closing of his
address to the delegates was: $50 for
ward, bearing in one hand the book of
: Christian truth, and in the other the
constitution of the United States" He
asked them to take up the matters that
would be discussed in deliberate man.
D ner, examine them and treat them with
such justice as becomes patriotic Ameri-
: cans and good Catholics.
Although Pennsylvania Day is a thing
: of the past, Pennsylvanians continue to
s monopolize the best of everything. In
: all parts of the great park their badges
: may be seen, worn by both women and
men. The fine record made by our state
e last Thursday pleased the fair officials
very much, and the press of Chicago is
still thanking the Keystone State for the
unexpected large number of visitors it
sent, The praise Pennsylvania is re-
) ceiving is none too great, however, for
it has helped nobly to make the exposi-
: ton a success since the day Jackson
: park was opened. From the first of
May to the present time no state, except
+ ing Illinois, has been better represented
u in Chicago than our own, as can be
proven by referring to the registers of
the hotels.
= Not only in the matter of attendance

here. Our people stand among the fore.

said without boasting, and the members
of the fair commission will corroborate
