materlalize. The people who attend
the Worlds Fair are not a spending
crowd; they do not come here to
spend their money, and il any Of them
have put off buying articles of cloth
ing, dry goods or the like until they
reached Chicago, they find that the
prices on all goods have been adyanc-
ed 10 meet the times, and they do not
buy. This is right; il money is to be
spent for articles 1t should be spent
with the dealer at home, especially
when such articles can be bought as
cheap; and / venture the assertion
that in ninety-nine cases of a hundred
they can be purchased cheaper. The
Chicago merchants subscribed liberal
Is TO the Fair, and they want TO get
their money back and they win do it,
too, if people are foolish enough to
deal with them. Patronize home trade
and home merchants and you will
save money. Price things before you

ACROSS THE SAHARA.
Indications THAT a Railroad Is

Indications That a Railroad Is
Only a Question of Time.
In very interesting paper in the
current number of the Engineering
Magazine on Railroad Development i'll
Africa" Cyrus C. Adams writes as fol-
lows:
While still in the air, it is quite certain
that something will come of the recent
agitation in France and Algeria in favor
of trans Saharan railroad as Stra-
tegic political and commercial neceS-
sity.
We know that the French have made
Algeria one of the best mapped parts
of the world, that they have built 1,700
miles of railroad in the colony, and that
Algeria is looking across the desert to
the rich Central and Western Soudan
as a source OF trade, capable of enor
nous expansion, which may be drawn
to her marts. The outline of the plan
is to built a narrow-gauge road from
Southern Algeria through a series of
GASES to Timbuktu, and 10 connect this
point by rail with Senegambia Oh the
southwest and on the east with the
fertile regious of the Central SOudan as
far as Lake Tchad. Three projects for
this railroad have been studied by order
of the French government These pro-
posed routes, with the project for a
shorter line, having an ocean terminus
at Capt Nun, are indicated OH the map.
The Russians have proved in Central
Asia that desert railroad building is
practicable: and, while the Saharan
railroad project has not yet passed the
stage of inquiry and discussion, there
arefndications that the work of carrying
it into effect will not be long delayed.
1t will be first required, however, to
establish proper influence over desert
tribes like the Tuaregs, who seem at
last on the verge of more hopeful and
pleasant relations with the white race.
The proposed line from Ain Sefra is in
greatest favor, and is likely to prove
most practicable.

Row Between Incoming and Out
going Postmasters at Terre
Haute, Ind.
Nearly All the Republican Clerks
and Carriers Removed, and
Democrats Appointed.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May lex
Postmaster Durham, the new Demo
cratic postmaster, appointed in place Of
David c. Greiner. received his commits
sion today and at once demanded the
Office of Greiner, who refused to retire
until Monday. Durham declared he
was in possession Notwithstanding
Greiner's refusal. as the instruction from
the postmaster general authorized him to
take possession at once, and he declared
his deputies installed. AT 4 o'clock
this afternoon Durham, Interpreting
the recent opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Olney to mean that the civil
service rules instituted by President
Harrison to all free delivery postoffices
do not apply until the civil service eX-
am ination has been held, removed all
the Republican letter carriers and clerks
but three. and appointed Democrats IN
their places, who qualified and expect
to take their places in the morning.
Tonight Mr.. Greiner caused PosTmas-
ter Dunham to be locked out of the
postoffice, but Durham held the fort in
the postma Ster'S private office, and
the Republi can janitor, who was sent
in to eject him, was ordered to
vacate at once, and he went. The Re-
publican force Will continue to act, and
tomorrow will no doubt see two rival
sets of clerks and letter carriers. There
Is an air of excitement about the gov
eminent building tonight. and groups
of men are around eXcltedly dis
cussing the situation. The point i'll
