IF the Worlds fair is not a success.
Chicago will be bankrupt" was the
gloomy reflection at the beginning of
June of many of the business men OF that
city who had put money into the enter
prise, and a good deal of it. The chances
seemed slim enough eve up TO the end
of August. At that date the exposition
board owed ~ ,455,215, not counting the
bonded Indebtedness. When those who
were behind the scenes counted up assets
and liabilities, they discovered that the
liabilities exceeded the other column bv
S31 $40. Had Chicago citizens, after all.
oyerrated their ability to run Il worlds
fair and swamped themselves?
Nobody could answer the question in
the negative then. But by The begin
ming of September the people who al
ways put off everything to the last mo-
ment and that includes most of the
human race, began to wake up. Those
who have been most bent on seeing the
fair, with all its rich educating oppor-
tunities, have been the farm population
OF the country. There is no class per
haps, take them altogether, that will be
more benefited by it. BY the begin
ming of September harvest was over. and
the money for the summer crops had
begun to come in.
Then 1t WA that the farm people raj
lied and marched to the White Citv in
force. So greatly did the attendance
mount mp that by the middle of Scptem-
Der in round numbers a million dollars
OF the Indebtedness had been wiped out,
and the directors saw their way clear to
getting back al the S2i, OOO, 600 that the
fair had cost. And it is the brave farm
people who have done u very large share
toward this happy result.

Cardinal Newman's Gentleman.

Cardinal Newman somewhere in his
writings depicts his ideal of a gentle
He says in the beginning that sit
is almost a definition of a gentleman to
say that he is one who never inflicts
pain" This is the negative side of the
definition. The positive side of it is that
the gentleman actively engages himself
in removing obstacles to the well being
and convenience of those about him. He
is as comfortable to have around as Il
good fire when the Thermometer is at
zero. He is careful to leave people to do
as they please in a free and u~nrestrained
way, never interfering with or embar-
RAISING them. It would indeed be a
gentleman who was large minded enough
for this. So willing is Cardinal New
mans gentleman to have others enjoy
themselves in their own way that he is
constantly engaged in removing the OBJ
stacles that would hinder this.
"He has his eyes on all his company.
He is tender toward the bashful, gentle
toward the distant and merciful toward
the absurd" In his conversation the
gentleman will remember to whom he
is speaking, have thought for all the
company and avoid illusions that would
give pain to any of them, steering way
also from topics that i~rritate. When he
does a favor to another-and he does
.many-the gentleman will somehow
make it appear that he is receiving the
benefit instead of comforting it.
HE is never mean or little in his dis
putes.' Moreover, he shows that he
has an intellect far above the average in
the fact that he never mistakes person.
alities and sharp sayings for arguments.
Most of mankind do. When grief, i'll
ness and losses come to him, .'he submits
to pain because it is inevitable" Be.
reavement he takes with heroic philoso-
ply because it is ~irroparablc. He goes
to death without a murInur because il
is destiny.
AS if all this were not hard enough in
order to be IA gentleman, the cardinal
attaches other requisites yet harder. This
ideal individual never talks about him
self at all, except when he is compelled
to, and never imputes unworthy motives
to another. One qualification of the
gentleman might well be tackled
upon the walls of mems c~lubhouses, "He
has no ears for gossip or SANDER"

Street Paving In America.

William Fortune contributes to The
Century IL paper ON street paving in
America that shows more than any
thing else what we have yet to do in
that direction before we can stand
abreast of other civilized countries. We
have made more advancement even in
high art than we have in street and road
making.
Mr.. Fortune estimates that if all the
paving in our towns and citids that is
now projected be finished according to
expectation the cost in the next 10 years
will not be less than 81, 200, 600, 900.
Even when that vast sum is spent ''it is
doubtful if more than SO per cent of the
streets of these cities would then be well
paved" He believes that the owners Of
property abutting the street to be inn
proved should bear the cost of the pave
ment, because the rise in value of their
property will be hardly ever less and
often many times more than the cost of
the paving.
Americans make the common and
fatal mistake of surprising a good pave
ment is II luxurious expense rather than
a profitable investment, which it is be-
yond all doubt. The first requisite for
the good pavement is Il solid foundation.
A London engineer said, ''The founda-
ton is the pavement To make the
foundation, first the street is dug down
10 jncl!cs or u foot and then rolled as
hard and solid as can be done with a
ramming machine. Upon this hard,
smooth surface is spread from six to eight
inches of hydraulic concrete cement.
This is the best foundation a street can
have, and it is made by mixing together
n part Of hydraulic cement and two
parts clean sand, free from clay. Small
pieces of broken stone, nc pebbles, only
bits of sharp cornered crushed stone,
none of thcm more than an inch and "a
half across in any direction, are mixed
thoroughly in the sand and cement,
water being poured on while the stone
is stirred in.
When thoroughly we'll made and
spread upon the soil, this concrete has
''the qualities of Il continuous layer Of
heavy stone, capable of bearing tremeu-
dous weights" Upon the concrete is
spread a layer Of sand, then on top of all
thefinal surface paving, whether of gran
lite, wood, asphalt, some kind of compost
ton mastics or hard baked and pressed
brick. This last has been found to an
Swer the purpose very well. The cost of
the hydraulic concrete foundation varies
from 80 cents to 81 per square yard.

CALIFORNIA MIDwINTEH EXPO.
SITION.

The TRIBrNE is in receipt OF a circular
sent out by the department of publicity
of the proposed midwinter exposition to
be held in San Francisco, from January
/ to June 81, 1894. five of the principal
buildings are well under way and others
will be completed before the time for
opening the fair. While it will not be
on such an extensive scale as the worlds
fair it will be well worth seeing. 1t is
understood that all the attractions of
Midway will be at the midwinter fair
with some additions. The people OF the
Golden Gate are enterprising to say the
least to undertake another fair on the
heels of the worlds fair but the citizens
of San Francisco know no such a word
as fail and the TRIBUNE wishes them all
the success the undertaking merits. At
another time we will favor our readers
with cuts of the principal buildings OF
the Midwwinter Exposition and brief
sketches of the magnitude of the enter

BEOTHEE LEWIS of the Valley County
Gazette of Glasgow devOtes considerable
editorial space to the recent sensation
created here by the report Of the board
Of trade committee and eXtols the press
tor u~nearthing the crooked work of the
school board. Strange to relate he gives
the Leader credit for showing up the
rotten gang. Our friend down the river
should adjust his editorial specks again
and read the TRIBUNE of last week com
mencing Thursday. By doing that he
will sac that credit is due the Leader for
opposing the investigation from the
start. 1t used every d%ishonorablc meth
cd known to journalism to deter the
committee from going on with the good
work but all it's scheming came to
naught. The TRIBUNE has been called
everything conceivable by the Leader
for showing up the outfit but up to date
we feel assured that we have the best
wishes of the majority Of the taxpayers
Of this city. We haven't lost any pa
tronage or subscribers because of the
course we have taken and that is a
pretty good indication that the COM
munity is back Of US. Speaking Of the
power of the press the Gazette makes
the following buh: The Leader pub
lished at that city has for some time
been accusing the board of dark and
Interior designs and the credit of the in
vestigation is due to them. 1t is another
evidence OF the power of the press in
unearthing the crime Of robbing the
neOnle."

MONDAY nights deed in the freight

glarize the safe containing about S10,-
600 in pay checks and many valuable pa
pers ought to be a warning. Desperate
men are in our midst and the authori-
ties should redouble their vigilance. An
example should be made of this case by
the city offering a reward for the appre-
hension of the burglars. Though frus-
trated in their efforts to perpetrate n
of the largest robberies attempted here
in several years the robbers succeeded in
firing the contents of the safe and burn
ing everything to ashes. A good dose of
Outline v!gilante medicine would put ii
