STATE BUILDINGS LOOKING NORTH.
good taste that foreigners come here again
and are lost in admiration Of the effect
produced by the use of such simple ma
terials.
Facing the sea, appropriately, are clus-
tered the six New England states, with
New Jersey in one corner. Their buildings
are models of beauty and comfort. New
Hampshire calls herself "The Switzerland
of America" on account of her scenery
and her Industries. The New Englanders
are already coming to the fair in large
numbers, and the registers in these club
houses of the states show page upon page
of arrivals each day.
We have now turned into one of the
finest thoroughfares of the exposition. 1t
Is the avenue which runs west from the
lake with some of the foreign buildings
and the great Art palace on the left, and
this group of New England buildings on
the near right, Massachusetts occupies the
corner, and farther along stand New York,
Pennsylvania and Missouri. The Massa-
chusetts building fascinates the eye of
thousands of people who are not from
Massachusetts,. 1t is made of Massachu-
sets material throughout, and modelled
after the old Hancock house which stood
for so many years familiar landmark on
Beacon street, Boston. To come upon this
pure old colonial structure is enough to
carry the imagination back to the early
days of New England and relieve their
mind, for a moment, of consideration of
the more splendid things of modern times.
Within is collection of historical articles
and portraits of rare interest.
There is no more perfect structure in the
Columbian exposition, so far as architec-
building. 1t is like the Administration
building in seeming to leave nothing that
one could want added or changed 1t is O.
reproduction, slightly modified, of the old
Van Rensselaer, mansion in New York
city, and it is picture. It must be seen
to be appreciated Though it is not such
very large building, 5Ox2O0 feet, it repre-
sents an expenditure of $4,000. No citi-
zen of New York will be ashamed of the
house which has been put forward here to
represent the proud Empire state of the
Union.
The most popular Of all the state build
ings is that of Pennsylvania. No wonder.
The keystone state shows here model of
Independence hall, Philadelphia, and
within it she has placed the bell which
proclaimed liberty to the land and all the
inhabitants thereof. No visit to the
Worlds fair is complete without view of
Liberty bell, of Independence hall, of the
chair in which Thomas jefferson wrote
the declaration of independence, the table
on which the declaration was signed and
the inkstand used on that momentous oc-
casion. There are many other historical
relics in the building. In addition to all
this the parlors and the piazzas of indie
pendence hall present scene Of comfort
and hospitality that 1 have not seen
equalled anywhere else in the exposition
1t is spot to which one is attracted by
patriotic curiosity, and which he is re-
luctant to leave. WALTER WELLMAN.

STATE BUILDINGS.
Nearly Two Score of the Beau
tiful Structures
TO BE SEEN AT THE WORLDS FAIR

Every State and Territory in the Union
Represented in One Way or the Other
Not One Unworthy Structure in the
Whole Collection - Amount of Money
Spent in Their Construction.
WORLDS FAIR, June l.. Especial -
Foreigners who come here are much inn
pressed when they walk through the ave-
nue. of states in the north end of the expo
sition grounds. Theysee nearly two score
of beautiful buildings, each representing
state of the Union, and each in its size
and cost, and often in its contents, indi-
eating that there is an empire behind it.
The foreigner, who of course knew but lit
tie as to the magnitude of the American
union, is amazed to find it composed of so
many states; he is surprised at the display
of resources and energy. AS for the
American, it is impossible for him to walk
down the avenue of states without feel
ing Of pride in his country that amounts
almost to exaltation. Chicago did mag
nificently in building this fair, and the
states are worthily represented.
Every state and territory in the Union is
represented here in one way or another.
Not all have buildings of their own, but
in every one money was appropriated by
the legislature or raised by private sub
scription for the purpose Of making repre-
sentation here. In all more than six mill
ions of dollars was thus raised. Follow
ing is the latest compilation of sums spent
here by the various states and territories,
Alaska and the District of Columbia being
represented by the Federal poyernment.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1893-06-09

A view of the north end of the grounds,
where the state buildings are located along
two principal avenues, is charming one.
Not one of the three dozen structures is
unworthy the state which built it. Among
them all there is not one unworthy struc-
ture. A number are palaces Of rare
beauty, and others are historical or char
acteristic. Several of them are vast expo
sition buildings, in themselves, and in this
way the states have helped to swell the
magnitude of fair which without their
aid would have been twice the size of the
largest exposition the world had seen be-
fore. We already see that this state de-
partment of the exposition is to be most
popular feature of the great show. No
where else in the grounds are the people
so thick, and nowhere else do they find
that which pleases them more.
Suppose we make tour,of these palaces
of the states. 1t must be q rapid run, for
we only have an hour and 1 have but two
columns of space. First is the Illinois
building, model of the state house at
Springfield. The architecture here has
been savagely criticised, and to tell the
truth the building is not pretty one.
But it is large, and within it is display
which surprises all visitors. Many people
come into this building expecting to stay
five minutes, and instead remain five
hours. 1t is an exposition of itself.
Indiana, near by, has an admirable
building used chiefly for the convenience
of the many thousands of Indianians who
come here. There are not many exhibits,
but one great curiosity is life-size figure
of an elephant carved out of solid block of
stone in one of the Indiana Quarries. Wis
consin, OHIO anu Michigan are In the same
block with Indiana. They are three
splendid buildings, each with broad piazzas
and ample shade and resting places for
their home people. Ohio's pride in the
great men who have sprung from her soil
is shown in monument where Cornelia,

grasses grow and are being harvested Dc
fore your eyes.
Next comes group of handsome build
ings, those of Nebraska, North Dakota,
Kansas and Texas on one side the avenue,
with Minnesota, Arkansas and Kentucky
on the other. AT this part of the grounds
the states press so thickly forward and
with such show of riches and public spirit
it is no wonder the foreign visitors go
away with new and broader conceptions or
the vastness of America and the greatness
of her people. Every one Of these build
ings is credit to it's state, and worthy
careful inspection.
Another groupdemands attention. Here
are clustered Maryland, West Virginia,
Delaware, Florida and Louisiana. They
are all handsome buildings, and all are
thronged with visitors from morning till
night. Florida has unique structure in
reproduction of old Ft. Marion at st.
Augustine, and within it wonderful dis
play of the fruits and other products Of
the land of flowers. Louisiana's old plan
tation house, with its creole kitchen and
cafe, is visited by many thousands Of peo-
pie. Utah has one of the finest buildings
on this avenue, and is trying with all the
art of hospitality to convince the re-
mainder of the country of its eligibility to
statehood. Montana and Idaho have pic
turesque buildings, the latter being an i'm
mense log ranch. Virginia, just beyond,
presents a reproduction of Mt. Vernon
mansion, the home Of Washington. A
very good imitation it is, and even the fur
niture and interior decorations are much
like those to be seen on the banks of the
Potomac.
Iowa occupies a post of honor on the
lake front where she has a building which
captivates every one In a large hall is
shown an amazing example of the decora-
tive uses of cereals and grasses. The
walls and ceilings. the pillars and panels
of the apartment are all treated with this
material, and with such ingenuity and

saying "These Are My Jewels" looks
down upon life-sized figures of Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Chase, Stanton and
Garfield.
Across the way is another exposition
that is of itself worth going many miles to
see. 1t is the California building. In an
imitation of an old mission house, enliv-
ened and embellished here and there, the
Californians have installed more than two
acres of the products Of their wonderful
country-th their fruits, nuts, forestry,
cereals, minerals. One could spend day
here with great profit, for it is one of the
most attractive exhibits in the grounds.
Colorado, Washington and South Da-
kota fill out CHS block. The first named
has fine display of resources and products
in little gem of building. South Da-
kota has a characteristic structure, in
front of which stands steer and rough
wagon, typical of the conveyance which
carried to the state q few years ago many
who are now here to be proud Of their new
home and to spend their money seeing the
glories of the world. Washington has n
most admirable display. Her building is
constructed with foundations of logs-and
such logs they arel-and heavy frame
superstructure. Within is n marvellous
display of minerals, woods, cereals and
fruits. There is the largest block of coal
ever mined, weighing $4,000 pounds. A
center of interest is the beautiful model Of

She presently took up a course of theology,

So she took up course on the theory OF

Some lessons and points on the subject OF

A long course of house-building, heating and
lighting,
For over her classmates she'd soar.
So she entered the subject of steam naviga-

And mastered the study of impersonation,
And still she was longing for more.

A nIiser's PItifuI End.

An old miser lived in Connaught and
seemed to be an utterly forlorn creature,
without ''chick or child" belonging 10
him. II was rather fortunate for the
nonexistent chick that such was its state,
for if it had had an existence it would
surely have lacked the means TO support
it. This old miser was so mean that he
denied himself bread, and only kept his
miserable life in its tenement by gifts of
food from charitable neighbors.
But he was known TO have plenty Of
money hidden away in his wretched
shanty, and his neighbors at last got tired
of giving to one so entirely unworthy.
For some days no one went near the
old man, and the cabin stood desolate.
No one was seen to go in or out, and at
last the constable determined to take the
obstinate old creature to Jail. the door
was broken open, and the old miser was
found dead. In his wretchedly starved
condition, and frantic at the thought of
leaving his loved money behind him, ho
had died trying TO swallow some Of his
own banknotes. Pieces of them were
clutched in his hands, and pieces Of them
in his throat had choked what little
breath remained in his body.-Harper's

Gone TO the Land of SnIrits.

Colonel B., well known gentleman,
had been sick in Washington for some
days, and the local reporters had made
daily inquiries concerning him after tho
first announcement. One day a reporter
for an evening paper called at the hotel
to inquire.
"How's Colonel b." he asked Of tho
clerk.
"The colonel has gone to the spirit
land" was the reply.
The reporter made a note of It.
The next mornings paper had an ac-
count of his death at noon the day be-
fore.
"How's this2" sail the city editor TO
the reporter. "You didn't get anything
about Colonel b. in yesterday evenings

"Yes, did" replied the innocent re-
porter as he hunted up the item. Here

The city editor looked it over and
swore. The item read as follows:
