The Great Event.

A touch from the hand of General
Grant. then President Grant, started all
the machinery and opened the Centen-
NAL exposition ut Philadelphia in 1875.
President Grants hand set in motion the
huge Corliss engine, 1,400 horsepower,
weight 7c0 tons, which furnished power
to practically all the machinery at the
worlds fair of 1876. The difference be-
tween the exposition of 1915 and that
which opened at Chicago May l, 1898, is
shown by nothing more vividly than by
the fact that in Machinery hall at the
Columbian exposition GO huge engines
Gre required to afford the necessary pow
or. The Columbian exposition is not 60
times rs large as that of 1875, though it
is indeed several times as extensive as
that was. The great addition to the
steam power is required on account of
the electric lighting apparatus. How
far we have advanced since 1875 may be
understood from the fact that there was
not an electric light used for general IL
Elimination at the Centennial exposition.
Men were in doubt at that time whether
the electric light could ever be generally
utilized on account of its cost. At the
Columbian fair there will be 5000 cleo
tric arc lights and 100000 incandescent
lights. For the incandescent lights alone
II engines will be necessary. The largest
one will give power for 10000 incandes-
cent lights and is Of 2.OOo. horsepower,
nearly half as large again as the 1873
Corliss. which furnished power to the
whole exposition.
The scene at the opening Of the fair
was as magnificent as the eye ever be-
held in town Or city. All that the skill
of man cossd do to make the occasion
imposing hadpl lseen done. The great
Theodore T@;n,cs waved his batcn, and
an orchestra of 100 instruments. chorus
Of $50 voices. filed the air with a volume
of souEd that rippled even the waters OF
the lake. That lake itself was grandest
of all in theyista which spread before the
eye at the ceremonial exercises. This
will be tie greatest worlds fair that
ever was--in the greatest country upon
the globe No worlds exposition has
had before the advantage of so magnif-
cent SITE: SO much room: none has had
that glorious inland sea to refresh the
weary visitor with its breath after his
ightseeing
The great fair is open. Go and see it.

UTH LONDONDERRY, VT, FRIDAY MORNING MAY 5, 1898
A Utopian scheme.

Announcement was made last week
that the members Of the Windham
county committee and the member OF
the state committee for the said county
had conceived magnificent plan
whereby all contests for appointment
of postmasters should be settled by a
caucus composed of all voting patrons
of the office, without regard to party.
Shades of George William Curtis
How the great mngwump's homes
must have ratified in their shroud.
But in all candor was there ever
such scheme thought Of before. Here
in Windham county, where, in many
cases, the republicans out number the
democrats ten to one, it is seriously
proposed to let the former decide
which democrat, or which candidate
in the field, shall be postmaster. In
fact it is dead give-a-way that the
party are unable to manage their own
affairs.
We are pleased to state that Mr..
Worthen, who has been lifelong
Democrat, doesn't propose to enter
such contest for the post office in
this place against man who four
years ago was Republican, when
he wanted the post office in his store,
but is now Democrat, "for revenue
only" and proposes to take the Office
into Republican store, knowing full
we'll that in this community, where
the Republicans outnumber the Dem
ocrats fifteen to one, he would stand
no chance under such circumstances,
as Republicans would naturally vote
the postoffice into Republican store.
Mr.. Worthen, very properly con-
cludes that if his party is bound to
once more put the Office in this place
into Republican hands, that they
must do so without his aid. Correct.

On the evening of the great naval
review in New York harbor mannif-
cent display of the electric search lights
was given by the various war vessels.
A press dispatch gives the following
riet description:
At 8 o'clock tonight ray of light
shot upward from the Philadelphia. For
moment it remained stationary and
then disappeared. That was the signal
for the scheduled display of electrical
search lights with which the war vessels
are provided, some Of them having
$4,000 French lenses.
Quickly following the Philadelphia s
lead, the American ships showed the
way in which the lights are used in
active warfare to protect war vessels
from attacks of torpedo boats. At times
the projected rays were concentrated at
certain spots on shore, then turned far
up the Hudson, making objects plainly
visible at distance of five miles.
Following came another signal and
simultaneously every light in the feet
was turned towards the zenith. Slowly
the rays converged until they formed
the apex Of a brilliant silvery pyramid
of incalculable height. Experts say it
could have been seen 75 miles away in
any direction. 1t was sight never be-
fore seen and never to be forgotten by
the landlubbers. In conclusion the op-
orators gave some examples of high art
in ray projecting and described various
figures on the heavens.

trade says
Reports from all parts of the country
indicate that trade has been much re-

money markets. and complaints of poor
collections are general. Business at
Boston is notactivein dry goods, small

cottons, shoes and groceries dull, in fur

dry goods business is plainly taking in

goods are lower, with stocks accumula-
