Not for a Day but for all Time

Memories of the White City are f~ading-all but one.
Majestic in its beauty the Palace of Art survives to remind
mankind of wonders departed. Triumphant over fire and
tempest the stately structure stands beside the lake dedicated
forever to the service of the people. AS a gallery of paint
ing and sculpture it surprised and delighted the nations. As
the Fields Columbian Museum it will entertain and instruct
multitudes in the ages to come.
A Worlds Fair in miniature is the museum to-day.
While it lasts the public will have before them a vivid re-
minder of the greater exposition of 1898. 1t will bring back
the vast panorama of splendid exhibits including the fine
showing made by
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
The analysis of DR.. Prices by government experts
demonstrated its unreasonable superiority in leavening
strength, purity and general excellence and gained for it the
Highest Award at the Fair.

AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION.

The Oriental situation is rendered very
interesting Of late by the international ques-
tions arising from the Korean kings declara-
ton Of Independence.
It's reported that China will invoke the
European powers not TO recognize the decla-
ration. on the ground that il was made under
japanese compulsion. China's allegation Is
supported by the patent fact that Korean in
dependence is impossible from the irresponsi-
BILE character Of the Korean government. for
international law cannot recognize the indi-
viduality OF a government continually en-
gagged in civil strife.
On the other hand, Japan rightly realizes
that her commercial interests in Korea are
not safe under an inimical Chinese govern
ment, and she is willing to trust a Korean
government, however imperfect, and to rely
on ordinary consular protection for the Jap
anese in Korea. japanese enterprise and
money have, she truthfully says, built up and
now control the interests OF Korea where
those interests touch other nations.
II Japan was behind the declaration Of
Korean independence she is to be credited
with clever piece Of diplomacy. She has al
ready, in the treaty consummated by Admiral
Kuroda, recognized Korea as a sovereign
state. and the Korean declaration of inde-
pendence still further puts the Chinese
Korean campaign in a bad light before the civil
lized powers, while the japanese side of the
fight seems justified as defense of her sub
iects in Korea and an effort 10 prevent the
Chinese usurpation Of the territory.
The sea-girt kingdom of the NIikado can
protect herself On the seas and in her harbors,
but it remains to be seen if she can win the
great land battles that are to be fought with
Chinese hordes on the Korean peninsular.

MIR. wRIGHTs PULLMAN PASS.

The report that Carroll d. Wright IS in
possession Of piece of card board, which en-
titles him to free ride on Mr.. Pullman's roll
ing stock, has passed the stage of uncertain
rumor and is admitted by Mr.. Wright
Who is this Mr.. Wright? He is the United
States Commissioner Of Labor; the gatherer
and codifer Of statistics about the working
men; the man who is supposed to deal with
cold, unbiased facts; the gentleman whom
the government gives good salary for work
that is supposed TO be rendered on the
Etrictest and most carefully circumscribed
basis Of impartiality.
What is Mr.. Wright's excuse, or as he
would rather call it, his explanation of the
possession of the pass? Here it is in the Ian
guage Of a reliable report

came on. and with it the hours of sweet re-

persed as quickly as they came, and save for
the measured tread of the patrolmen, the
! camp was as noiseless as the placid waters of
the mighty Potomac that silently flowed by its
! side.
From early morning until late at night the
Knights arrived in squads, divisions, and
regiments, and at ''taps' brigades from the

MR.. cLFyELANp,s LETTER.

As was expected, the President has allowed
the tariT bill TO become law without his sig
nature by the expiration of the ten days Of
limitation al midnight last night
He has not. however, allowed the opportu-
nifty to pass without writing another of those
personal letters, which are. with monoto-
nous regularity, given to newspapers in view
OF their "public character and importance"
Summing up the important statements in
Mr.. CleYeland's letter, he regards the bill as a
vantage ground for further aggressive oper-
ations; he does not despair that the popgun
bills can never be passed; he is especially
grieved that free coal and free iron ore have
been denied; he reafirms the necessity Of free
raw materials in a true tariff reform bill, and
he regards the bill as a vast improvement over
the Mckinley law.
From the standpoint OF literary merit the
letter is masterpiece. Mr.. Cleyeland's state
ments are clear, terse, and wel-rounded, and
the whole effort will do much 10 cheer the
Democratic party. The Clevelandesque
phrases should not be overlooked, either. and
1.-THE communism Of pelf' ought to go down to
history as an accurate description of a trust
At any rate the bill is a law, letter or no
letter. II has many features 10 recon-
mend IL and many 10 condemn it. The lesson
OF its long career in Congress is a lesson to
the Democratic party that the next time they
attempt to enact any important legislation
they should first see TO it that the Democracy
OF the different States send United States

The hundreds or more people passing
through Pythian camp paused near one OF
the hospital tents and listened with sober
faces to the voice frequently repeating these

not contain her curiosity

yesterday he went up in the city. He met a
friend and he asked him to take lunch. He
did So and eat some cucumbers.
I'm the evening another friend asked him

milk. He is in a bad way nova very bad

The pretty girl did not attempt TO resist
smiling and passed on, while her informant
went into the tent to impost the cheerful in
formation that funerals were comparatively
cheap in Washington.
This was the most serious case hospital camp

In the entire camp there are not NOR than
half dozen on the sick list. Ali these had

seriously affected, he being attacked with a
nervous collapse, which caused his friends
some little anxiety. He was under the care

Stewart had six boxes to collect from, and
his face streaming with perspiration indicated
that he was telling the truth.
The Knights doing police duty in camp are
continually getting themselves into trouble.
and it is all on account of their gallantry At
certain hours of the day it is deemed wise not
TO let everybody into the camp lanes. There
was little crowd at the entrance to one of
the lanes last night and the Knights on duty
positively refused 10 allow any one to pass.
Finally two very pretty girls came along.
They looked longingy up the lane and finally
one of them made bold to approach the
Knight and ask permission to 20 through
The Knight gallantly touched his hat and
said certainly. This aroused the ire OF an
old gentleman standing by, who accused the
Knight OF partialty.
