me story OF . woman who sa1ssrea for
Nine Years. How She Was Cured.

Qfom the Newark. N. J., Evening News)
Valvular disease of the heart hns always
been considered incurablc. The following
interview, therefore, will interest the med
ical profession, since it describes the sue
cessful use of new treatment for this dis
ease. The patient Is Mrs. George Archer,
OF Clifton, N. j., and this publication by
the News Il the first mention made OF the
case by any newspaper. All physicians con-
suited pronounced the patient suffering
with valvular disease of tho heart, and
treated her without the slightest relief.
Mrs. Archer said: 81 could not walk ncross
the floor; neither could go upstairs with

taking them, and have taken them ever

relatives. After beginning on the second
box, to my wonder, the noise at my right

distress that used to feel in my chest and
arm gradually disappeared. The blood has

ATLANTA's EXPOSITION.
WIN Be an Hpoch-1Ga13ng Event
In Southern History.


Especial Atlantis (aa.) Letter.l
The Cotton States and international
exposition to be held in Atlanta, Ca,
September 10 to December 81, 1895, Is
intended primarily to bring together
IN epitome of human effort and . col
countries of the western hemisphere.
It's scope is, however, international,
and exhibits are invited and expected
from all the other continents.
Tho United Sta ties has aided this cx-
position by an appropriation Of 82OO, 900
to the one made ut Chicago. In the de-
bate on the appropriation the most dis
tinguished orators of all political
parties We'd with each other in enthusi-
astic commentator OF the enterprise.
That debate and the action of the gov
eminent placed tho exposition at once
upon an international plane. Inquiries
are already coming in from foreign
countries. President Diaz has an
nounced his intention and determine
ton to make an exhibit of the resources
and products of Mexico.
The republic of Venezuela, one of the
most important in South America, COW
ering three times the urea of Germany,
has formally accepted the invitation to
acceptanc" has been received from MIC
aragua. Unofficial advices from Hon
duras are to the effect that fine ex-
hibit will be made by that republic,
and a feature of the display will be q
mahogany house. The Mexican village,
Guaternalan village and japanese gar
den will form picturesque features.
Besides the United States govern
ment building, the plan of the expose
ton managers includes these principal
buildings; the last figure gives the
height from floor to cornice:

The leading idea throughout the
buildings is Romanesque. They are

sites on the exposition grounds. The
exterior Of this building has been de-
signed with particular reference to the
effects which may bc gained by a use
of numerous electric lights. It is also
proposed to illuminate the general out
line of all the buildings by ineandes-
cent lights, and the effect will be de-
1ightful.
The Transportation building will
cover an area of So, 900 square feet, and
lation of the heavy exhibits proposed
for this building.
The horticultural building will be
unique in design. A large central dome
Of glass. with three wings or arms,
each ending in a smaller dome Of glass,
will afford an opportunity for an ex-
cellent display Of the fora and fauna
of the south.
It is not settled whether the educa-
tional exhibit will have 3 separate
building, but it is more than likely
that the matter viii, take that course.
Already the big Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building is shown to be
inadequate for the demands for space
in those departments, and Il separate
building for liberal arts is already be-
ing considered. This building would
be the natural home of an educational
exhibit. 1t is proposed to have a sam
pie of the work of every pupil in every
school in the south. This would bring
directly before the world the intel
lectual attachments of between four
and five million children. 1t is need
less to say that this will rivet the in
terest of the people upon the exposi-
ton.
The Negro building will be one Of
the most interesting ON the grounds.
It will! afford more than $4,000 square
feet of space, and will provide for a
large central assembly hall for negro
congresses, with openings into rooms
for exhibits. An eIdtome of the race
in thirty years of freedom will natur-
ally be interesting, but especially so
when presented in the form of a pan
orama, showing the different condi-
tions of the negro from his native state
in Africa, with his matched huts, by
successive stages to the most advanced
type of the race in America. It will
form at once a picturesque and instrnc-
tive exhibit.
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1895-01-19

designed with an idea of stability and
simplicity Of construction. Take the
Machinery building, for instance.
That, in its interior construction, is a
simple cube SO designed as to give a
great deal of space inside, its exterior
finish having touch of the renais-
sance. On each end. at the sides and
i'll the center there are large porticos
with immense pillars, which will give
the entire building q stately appear
ance. 1t is the aim to construct a build
ing whose size will not be apparent at
first, but which will grow on the OBJ
server. That building will be IS
feet high. Tho Manufactures build
ing carries out the same Romanesque
idea, but is considerably more elab-
crate. In the Agricultural building
the idea is carried out in a sort of
pyramidal shape. and SO, too, with the
Electricity building. The latter has
towers and arches which can be bril-
liantly illuminated, and, located as it
will be, at the foot OF the lake, great
light effect can be secured. The towers
ut the corners of the Manufactures
building are very large and can be
used for restaurant purposes or any
thing of the sort. The broad outside
corridor on the second story of this
building can also be used to magnif-
cent advantage for restaurant pur-
poses. The floor area of these buildings
Is as follows: Manufactures and Lib
eral arts, JOB 200 feet; Agriculture, a.
COO; Machinery, 90, 500.
The Woman's building is to be de-
signed by a woman. and prize of $500,
in addition to the usual compensation
for architects, has been offered by the
board of lady managers. AS the larger
buildings arc of Romanesque motif, it
is proposed to have for the Woman's
building a colonial design, which will
harmcnize and hold its own with the
larger structures.
The Government building will be Of
frame construction, covered on the ex-
terror with shingles and clapboards,
and designed with Romanesque motif.
