Methods of cremation are shown,
as well as many excellent sani-

Java has a very fine exhibit in
the agricultural hall. Among her
exhibits are shown models of bridg-
es made entirely of bamboo spliced
and tied after the manner Of the
japanese toedong, or hats, made
from leaves overlaid like fish scales !;
topi, or bamboo hats, very finely
plated, said to be so enduring as
to be handed down as heirlooms
from father to SON. slippers made
entirely from material furnished by
the sugar palm; hatony, or whistle,
used on festive occasions with the
kingong, when the first rice is cut !;
models Of their huts; wooden
masks used in the wayung per-
formances, they are held fast with
the teeth, a wooden pin or
leather strip is provided for the
purpose; also, specimens of their
teas and coffees vanilla and SAM
Piles of confections and preserved
fruits, etc.
Most conspicuous among all the
exhibits of enamel, or art ware, is
the exhibit of the Japanese cloi-
somm in the panel by Nanukowa
Sosuku, in the lower gallery of the
art palace, which many visitors
mistake for painting. 1t represents
Fugi Yama, the peerless noun
tain, With its crest rising above
the clouds and shows a COM
bination of cloisome and cloi-
sonless enamel, which serves to
render the different textures of
soft clouds and the rocky slopes of
mountains. Specially worthy of
mention are the three large cloi-
somme vases, the largest ever
manufactured, which stand near
the veranda in the east court.
They are the work of S. Susuki,
but were designed by Shin Shi-
woda, counselor for the fine arts of
the japanese commissioners to the
Worlds Fair. The design
represents the seasons Of the
year. The groups of chick
ems indicating spring; the
dragon, summer, and the two
eagles autum. While on the re.
verse side of the vase showing the
two eagles a winter scene is repre-
sented. The same design also
symbolizes the three virtues highly
priced by the Japanese-wisdom,
honesty, and strength, these are
symbolized on these vases, respect
lively, by the dragon, chickens and
eagles. Another idea to be con-
veyed by the design on their fronts
is that the dragoon is indica-
tive of China, the two eagles of
Russia, the groups of chickens of
the Corean islands and the rising
sun the empire of Japan, while the
bronze eagle on the corner of the
censor is the American eagle the
five nations named being inter
ested in the eastern question.

The Holomua, to supply its dearth
Of brains, is at present engaged in
the labor-saving task of publish
ing exclusively those portions of
the debates of the school boys of
the California and Leland Stanford
universities, favorable to the royal

efforts are, they are much better
than the usual effusions of royalist
editors thrust upon the public.

the royalist side; but of this we

tuition, the leading paper of the South,
has come out almost as strong for free
coinage as the New York Recorder 1t
points out that the democratic platform
pledges the party to bimetallism and
that it would not be possible for the
party at the behest of any man, to ig-
more this pledge in view of the vocifer-

of a silver reconciliation bill which
shall restore confidence, and give the
people the currency they so much need
to carry on their business enterprises.
AS the record of each day is made up
the chances of free coinage becoming
the law are more encouraging.

She Got q Seat.

A very pretty girl stepped into crowd
ed car on the College avenue line. She
belonged in the high school and wasn't
in the habit of standing up. The car was
full, but everybody else had seat. Seven
men held down the most available ones,
and, strange to relate, not one of them
appeared to be aware that young wom-
an was compelled to stand.
The pretty girl, with quick glance Of
disgust about the car, took in the situa-
ton and blushed somewhat Indignantly
She had long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to strap. Two
squares had been travelled when an idea
took possession of her classical mind
Out came the miniature purse from the
embroidered silk reticule, and the little
hands fumbled among few silver coins
A nickel dropped to the floor and rolled
to the far end of the car. This is part of
the plan, but it is executed dexterously,
and the passengers pity her. She blushed
and murmured, "How awkward of me-
Unsteadily she started after the nickel,
but seven men intercepted the movement
and rushed to the point, as the artful
maiden dropped into comfortable seat
with n sigh and deftly hid roguish smile.
The 5-cent piece was rendered by man
who assumed her place at the strap. She
thanked him and looked all innocence. -

The Madisonian of Virginia City has
the laugh on the rest of the state press
in this fashion: 1.-The newspapers in
other towns are complaining because
they say the people have become scared
and have drawn their money from the
banks and cached it away in tin cans,
old socks, dirty linen and such like. In
this city a man might kick tin cans un-
til he wore the toes of his boots out, pull
up every old sock that he found lying
around loose until he would be obliged
to hold his nose, or overhaul every piece
of dirty linen that he saw tluttering in
the breeze, and ne wouldn't find enough
currency of the realm to get square
meal at free lunch counter. Virginia
City and Madison county folks are too
sensible to indulge in any such foolish
ness as drawing their money out of bank
except when they want to use it, because
they know that in our banks it is much
safer than il slowed away in tin cans,
old socks and "sich." Its pity people
elsewhere have not the same horse
sense.

Is THE Portland Oregonian dizzy,
dazed or absolutely daft? Here is a
sample of its recent talk: "Report OF the
serious illness of the president would
send thrill of alarm through the coun-
try. lis death would be greater disas-
ter than the gravest defeat Of the civil
war. He stands between the couatry
and the unspeakable calamity of weak
and ignorant president and time-serv-
ing and foolishcongress. 1t is unlikely
that his illness is more serious than ca
haustion from overwork but the
thought Of what might happen if it were
is appalling" Now we agree with the
Oregonan that the president should not
die at this iuncture, but it is fact that
the republic has survived the death of
Washington, jefferson, Lincoln and
Grant. The republic is not one man
power, and one generation of Americans
can put forth as good men as any other
generation.

A Little Absentminded,

1t is told of prominent clergyman
that when writing his sermon for last
Sunday he became so engrossed in his
subject that he made it much longer
than usual. When delivering the SER
mon, he noticed that the congregation
was becoming somewhat wearied. He
was anxious to close, but could see no
possible place to stop until through. He
became so nervous that when he stepped
into the chancel to pronounce the bene-
diction he said the grace he is accustom-
ed TO say at table. The effect was elec-
trical. and the congregation was well
awakened. d.-Indianapolis Journal.

WITH the New York Recorder out for
free coinage one of the greatest powers
in the newspaper world of New York is
squarely in line with the peoples cause.
The Recorder is young paper, and it
has grown to an equality with the Oldest
in the short space of three years because
it knew how to judge Alright the feelings
and ambitions of the men and women
who compose that section of the public
known as the masses. The heading of
the Recorders article was "Giye Us Free
Coinage In these words it utters the
despairing cry of fully four-hfths oflthe
American people today. The cry did
not sound so loud until it was uttered by
the Recorder, because that paper has a
loud and large voice that reaches fully
250,O00 people every day. We congrat-
ulate the popular cause on this import
ant accession to the ranks of its friends,
and the Recorder on the wisdom and
discretion it has shown in making this
move.

Fancy being confronted with the ques-
ton. What kind of food and drink do
you prefer" and only half of rather
narrow page in which to inscribe the an
swer. How could one answer such a
question in such space? for ones ideas
as to food and drink vary so much with
the hours of the day Morning, tea or
coffee very likely, with breakfast bacon
or kidneys or fried sole or plain boiled
eggs. But who wants boiled eggs and
coffee at his luncheon? Then, again, dry
champagne is generally favorite drink
Mt dinner, but we do not usually care for
It at luncheon. and late at night most
men have preference for whisky and
soda and would not care in the least for
Pommery or Roederer. Then man may
have strong liking for oysters, and also
for olives, and how is he to get in all
his opinions on these various questions Of
taste as to food and drink Exchange.

This is what the Vancouver Register
says of the feeling towards free coinage
in the Pacific coast states: If the ques-
ton of free coinage Of silver was put to
a vote Of the people of Washington and
Oregon, there would be found a majority
Of not less than 10000 in each state in
its favor. The party that comes out flat
footed for silver at the next election in
these states will be successful at the
polls beyond question" :"

Presumably wholly satisfactory dog
story has yet to be written. 1t is rather
strange that so faithful, so beloved, a
friend and companion as the dog has al
ways been to mankind should have so
little, comparatively, written about him.
When we come to consider that COM
panionship and loyalty, we are compelled
to set it down as a remarkable piece Of
ingratitude upon the part of man, not to
made his friend the dog more of figure
in the literature of fiction. Mrs. Bar.
bauld is said to have written the first dog
story. We have never seen it. The
story of Rab is of course familiar to all,
Yet, however much Of a classic it may
have come to be recognized, it is at best
fragmentary, and we must confess that
we do not share that enthusiasm which
is popularity expressed over it.
1t can be taken for granted that no.
body but lover of the dog will write Of
the dog The fault that we have to find
with stories about dogs is their invari-
able lack of tenderness. When the dog
comes to die, his biographer invariably
dismisses that event with a casual Poor
old doggy! He has gone where good dog
gies go-the good old doggies' heaven"
1t is as if the b,ographer were ashamed
to speak what his heart prompts; as If
he were controlled by that same curious,
awkward, wicked sense of pride which
makes the simple fellow feign a snicker
or laugh during the progress of an emo
tional drama, at the very moment, too,
when a lump is in his throat and his eyes
are brimful of tears. Chicago News

FOR A PUBLIC BUILDING.

One of the bills introduced in the SEN
ate on the first day of the session was o.
fered by Senator Power, and bore the
title, "To provide for the erection OF a
public building in the city OF Great
Falls, Montana"
This bills provides for the requirement
of site and the erection of suitable
building, including fireproof vaults,
heating and ventilating apparatus, ele-
vators and approaches, for the use and
accommodation OF the post office and
other government offices in this city, and
asks for an appropriation of s2OO,C1o for
the same. The bill was read twice and
referred to the committee on public
buildings and grounds.
These bill are often presented, re-
ferred, and never heard of again, but
this is one which ought to be pushed
through. The building is absolutely
needed here. The government has done
nothing for this section of the country,
nor for Great Falls, its chief city, and in
view of the injury it has done to the
whole west by it's bad financiering. it
would be only just and decent that this
appropriation be made available as soon
as possible. Great Falls will thoroughly
appreciate the efforts of Senator Power,
and if they are successful the senator
shall be carved in marble and set in a
niche in the great building.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Under WHICH FLAG:
ERIDAY AUGUST IL. 1893.

In his sermon Sunday evening the
Rev. DR.. r.Wasson of the Episcopal church
contrasted in striking way the creeds
of Christianity and inidelity. For the
former he took tho most generally ac-
cepted doctrines, such as the father
hood of God and the brotherhood OF
man and the universal Christian decla-
ration of belief in the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost.
For the creed of infidelity he took that
laid down in the classic funeral sermon
of Robert G. Ingersoll, which consists
of two parts, the declal alton, Il am the
sole proprietor of myself" and the de-
spairing conclusi that "every human
life ends in wreck"
DR.. Wasson's examination and analysis
of Ingersoll's first proposition or decla'
ration was most mastery.
"At what point in his existence
asked the divine, "does man become the
sole proprietor of himself, and from
whom does he obtain his title? Is it in
his infancy? Surely not, for in that
period of his existence he is absolutely
helpless and dependent every minute
on the care, protection, and provision OF
others. In his youth his condition is
scarcely more independent. and all the
way through life he cannot for one mo-
ment escape condition of dependence
on God and on his fellow men,
DR.. Wasson demolished the idea OF
man being the 'sole proprietor OF him
self with great thoroughness and passed
on to the other declaration OF lngersoll
that every life ends in wreck.
If Mr.. Ingersoll's reasoning we're good
the only logical thing for all mankind
to do would be to follow the advice OF
Schopenhauer, the German philosopher,
and commit universal suicide. If there
we're no life beyond the grave the hu-
man family would be justified in the be-
lief that the world was under the rule OF
q fiepd instead OF a God, and that all
creation was made for the sport OF the
satanic ruler. Had not God provided
us with the air We must breathe
in order to live; water to
quench our thirst, light that we may
see. music to sooth the sense Of hearing,
and full satisfaction for every natural
sense, and is it reasonable or just to sup
pose that ne has implanted in our
breasts the desire, the hope for immor-
tality only to abuse and torture us? The
thought is too mOns'rous to be enter
tanned for a moment. God made US and
we are his, eternally his, and not our
own. We are his in this world, and in
the world to come, and like him, OF
whom we are part, we are indestructi-
BILE
Intidelity, said DR.. Wasson, is simply
negation-it does not know, it does not
believe. But Christianity is knowledge
the highest kind of knowledge, that
which pertains to God and his kingdom.
Which of these systems offers the most
encouragement and hope to man!
Which of them does most to satisfy the
longing and inquirlng heart OF man:
Which of them gives US hold on the
life beyond the grave, and shows US
that at the end of this mortal existence
there is something more in store for US
all than merely wreck:
No man who heard this sermon felt
any hesitation about saying that he pre-
ferred the immortal banner of Christian
ity rather than the dubious one Of in
fidelity.
