{. \. Collier. President of the Ex-
position, said the idea which induced
those back of the enterprise to un-
dertake it at this time, Was that the
time had arrived for securing closer
commercial relations with the South
American countries. The great
bulk of this trade now went 10 Eu-
rope, which was BY all laws Of trade,
business that belonged to the United
States. With proper encouragement
this trade could be turned in our ia

ton wanted the Government To give
1t its approval. Such recognition
was necessary for its success, and
abroad. They did not ask
"A Government appropriation to aid
the exposition, but wanCed the Gov
to erect building and
make an exhibit. While Atlanta,
men had started the enterprise it was
in no way a local affair. All the
Southern and Southwestern States
had endorsed it, and Promised their
support. New York, New Jersey
and some of the New England States
had already expressed a desire to
The object was to make
1t an international and Interstate
affair, and the Government should
be glad to endorse an enterprise
which is for the good of whole coun-
try. The Exposition committee de-
sired Congress to authorize the cree

appropriate 100000 for transporta-
ton and care of IA Government exhi-

100000 has been secured, but the
committee did not want to go beyond
the limits Of their States for sub

has given the movement its appro-
val.
Foreign ministers in Washington
had been consulted informally and
had given assurance that when the
Government put the stamp of appro-
val on the enterprise, the would

The total of all these various sums
is about S725, 5,000-cost of the em-
ployee and the contingent expenses
of the lower House.
Now add in the salaries of mem-
bers and you will have Gncluding

seven hundred and twenty five thous-
and dollars!
Thus you will observe that each of
your congressman cost you, during
the Reed Congress, upwards of $780,
600.
The salary of each member is So
600; his mileage is 20 cents per mile
each way. 1t is fact that the mile
age of some of the members amounts
to almost as much as their salar-
les.
In my calculation l have not in
cluded the value of books, fish, flow
ers, seeds and plants furnished to
members at your expense.
Besides the 333 members of the
Lower House who draw salary, mile
age and perquisites, there are four

those of Members.

Ancient Egyptian Papyri.

Some time ago the Geneva library be-
came possessed of a collection of unopen-
ed Egyptian papyri, which on being care
fully manipulated and examined by NJ.
Nicole we're found to be of great inter-
est and value. They include a fragment
of the Orestes of Euripides, which Is be-
leved to be at least 1000 years older
than any other manuscript Of the same
work at present known. There are also
portions Of the Had, containing great
variations from the usually accepted
text. The collection also contains an
idyl on Jupiter and Leda and an elegy
on the stars.
A curious document is letter from
the head of the monastery requesting the
use for three months of certain horses.
The animals were to aid the monks In
getting about the country, and as an IN
ducement for granting the request it is
urged by the borrowers that 'sthey are
orthodox" There are other interesting
items in this valuable collection of papy-
ri-Chambers' Journal.

Amer,ca,s Only Frostless Belt.

What is supposed to be the only frost
less belt in the United States lies be-
tween the city of Los Angeles and the
Pacific ocean. It traverses the foothills
of the Cahuenga range and has an ele-
vation of between 200 and 400 feet. In
breadth it is. perhaps three miles. The
waters Of the Pacific are visible from
it, and the proximity of the ocean has
of course something to do with Danish
ing frosts. During the winter season
this tract produces tomatoes. peas,
beans and other tender vegeta bles, and
here the lemon fourishes, tree that is
peculiarly susceptible to cold. Tropical
trees may be also cultivated with sue
cess, and in connection with this fact it
is interesting to know that a part of the
favored territory has been acquired by
Los Angeles for park purposes, and it
is only aquestion of time when the city
will have the unique distinction of pos
sessing the only tropical park in the
United States. Strange to say, only
the midway region Of the Cahuenga
range is free from frost, the lower part
of the valley being occasionally visited.

New York,s Four Hundred.

When will we begin to know how to
amuse ourselves? really am tired OF
the same round Of inane entertainments,
where am obliged to talk to the same
set of inane people. Yet one cannot do
otherwise. Bohemia in New York
means vulgarity. There IS a half world
in London and in Paris where one can
meet professional people and such in
teresting beings as the second Mrs. Tan
queray and Lena Despard and the other
clever and fascinating creatures observ-
ing les conyenances. Here one IS
obliged to keep strictly in ones set or
otherwise be socially declasse.
have tried literary people, and
have found them crude, stupid and al
together impossible. To be literary in
New York and to belong to the literary
set seem simply an excuse to DO all
kinds of extraordinary and eccentric
things. One can name the artists in
society on fingers of one hand, and as
for the stage the players have by their
own voluntary action placed themselves
beyond the pale. Senators and polltl-
clans seem to think it necessary to wear
bad clothes and to appear as gauche as
possible-probably with view of i'm
pressing the horny handed sons of toll.
We of course have a few exceptions,
but they stand out conspicuously and
are the subject Of universal comment,
criticism and not a little condemna-
tion.=Yogue.

O.Riley,s Gorgeous Ancestor.

An ancient suit Of court garments,
worth $4,000, is on exhibition in the
window of West Madison street store.
It includes a coat, waistcoat, knee
breeches and a three cornered hat,
which arrived from Ireland less than
two weeks ago. The suit was once the
property of J. J. O'Riley of County
Cavan, who wore it in the Irish parlia-
ment in 1774. The coat is of heaviest
broadcloth of Il deep maroon color and
is richly embroidered in solid gold bull
lion. Tara's harp, surrounded by a
wreath Of shamrock, is embroidered on
each side of the front, with vine of
the same embroidered around the full,
long skirts of the garment. Another
harp is wrought on the back. Gold
braid an inch in width finishes the edges.
The waistceat is of the same mate
rial and finish as the coat. The knee
breeches are Of deep yellow plush, thick
and Of very fine texture. The buttons
are marked ''P. White, Dublin. +" The
three cornered hat is of black beaver,
covered with gold lace and hung at the
corners with gold tassels.
The girth of the coat proves the own
er to have been man of lordly proper
tions. The pale yellow silk Innings are
somewhat sciled from wear, and the
yellow plush garment bears evidence OF
parliamentary benches. The embrold-
cry in gold is entirely untarnished.
This relic and heirloom was brought
into the West Madison street store by
one J. J. O'Riley. a namesake and dl-
rect descendant Of the late j. J. 0 Riley
of County Cavan, Ireland. The man
is day laborer, and tho present hard
times had forced him to attempt the
sale of the ancestral regalia.-Chlcago
