just now the principal shipments going

to the office Of the express companyssin
the basement of the Treasury building in
packages nearly eight inches square.
These packages are of heavy MANILA,

stamp of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Gold cannot be handled like currency
because of it's great weight. At the time
that so much gold was going abroad two
months ago, the Treasury Department
was shipping about a million dollars in
York. This gold weighed two tons to the
million. One of the portable safes, hold
ing about $40, 5000 in gold, weighs when
filed 1900 pounds. These safes were
locked and sealed at the Treasury De-
partment. The portable safes have key
locks. A strip Of iron slips over the key
hole and is fastened in place once with a
piece of string and once with piece of
wire. A lead seal is used on the wire
and green wax seal on the string. To

propelled by electricity, and of the
grounds generally. This building, which
will be of French renaissance, is de-
signed by George S. Post, of New York.

Many thousands, no doubt have be-

CHICAGO A SIGHT IN ITSELF.
The first sightseeing which visitors
to Chicago in 1898 will do will be, of
course, of the city itself-of its great,
wide, busy thoroughfares and its mag
nifccnt buildings, ten, fourteen and
even eighteen and twenty stories high.
To see this great, throbbing CONNER
cial heart of America, this marvellous
young giant among the chief cities of
the world, even though he does not
spend the time necessary to inspect it
thoroughly, will alone amply repay the
visitor for going. But second sur

For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said stomach was about

not work. Finally on the recon-

Here, on hundred acres or more, beau

of foreign nations and of a number
of the states of the union, sur

of them there will be cannot be
stated yet, but it is certain that they
will be numerous and will vary greatly
in size and style of architecture. They
will be ranged on wide, curving av-
enues, will include some of the most
ornate, costly and palatial structures
and constitute perhaps the most inter-
csting portion of the entire exposition.

LIBERTY RAISING THE WORLD
A suggestion from California

some of the foreign and state buildings,
and many of semi-private construction,
and of nature which cannot yet be
described. Almost innumerable struc-
lures and exhibits. such as reproduc-
tons of famous buildings, ETC.,
most of them novel and striking
in character, have been proposed, and
it is not yet possible to tell how many
or which of them will be erected. That
there will be an astonishing array of
them there can be no doubt, and un.
questionably some of them will be i'm
portant and exceedingly interesting
features of the great fair.
All of the important buildings will
stand on terraces four feet above the
general park level, thus greatly i'm
proving the general landscape effect
and rendering their own appearance
more imposing. From scores of domes
and towers and minarets, flags and
streamers will be floating, and both

play of color. The beautiful park with

BY THE WATER ROUTE.
The most delightful, probably, though
not the speediest means by which the
visitor may reach the exposition
grounds, will be by steamboat on Lake
Michigan. A ride of six miles from the

of the fair buildings constantly in sight,
will take him there. When abreast of

ing magniticence will be before him

CANT and imposing in their architec-

his first glimpse Of Jackson and
Washington parks and the mag
nificent array presented by the
exposition buildings. Beautiful as
was the site-thc Champs de
Mars-and it's approaches, and capti-
waiting to the admiration as were the
graceful and imposing edificcs at the
Paris eXpositions of 1875 and 1889, it
is believed that they will be surpassed
by those of the Columbian exposition.
The Chicago site is four times as large
and has a frontage Of two miles on
lake Michigan, the second largest body
of fresh water on the globe. The
buildings will cover twice the area and
cost twice as much as did those in
Paris in 1889. Alone they will cost
nearly fifty per cent. more than the
total expense attending the Paris fair
The best architects in this country have
prepared the plans for the several
buildings, and the structures they have
designed will exhibit the highest
achievements of American architecture.

Extravagant Economy,

The captain of a fine clipper ship,
rather than pay the prize of having a
tug tow her into port, attempted to sail
her in during a furious gale The re-
suit of this economy was the loss of an
$4,000 craft, a 100000 cargo, and the
lives of the captain and seventeen of the
crew, which considerably more than
offsets the saving of the price of a tug.
Another sad feature arising from this
economical spirit of the thrifty captain
was the death of the captain of the life
boat which went to the clippers assist
ance when she was driven on the rocks
Altogether it was extravagant economy
