CHICAGO EXPOSITION OFF.
Sentiment Survives That II Is De-
ferred Not Abandoned.

AUGUSTA, GA, May 2S-The proposed
| Southern States Exposition is abandoned
because the South did not respond in ac-
cordance with the terms Of the agree
ment entered into at Chicago-that nine
| States should be represented. South Caro-
| lima, Georgia. and Alabama would have
| been ready In time. Maryland had APP
| piled for space. The Southern railway
the Mobile and Ohio. and other roads had
| also applied for space. These roads would
have secured exhibits from half dozen
more States. but this would not have
been a compliance with the agreement
The depressed condition Of business rem
dered IL impossible TO secure favorable
action i'm the Nlrginias, North Carolina,
South Carolina. Mississippi, and other
States.
Under the circumstances the Southern
Advisory Board. which met i'm this city
to-day, declared the exposition of. The
chairman was authorized to make the
following announcement. which will be
received with regret by the friends Of
southern development. who appreciate the
generous oher made by Chicago. and who
believe in cultivatng trade relations be
tween the citizens of the South and the
Northwest:
The Advisory Board OF the Southern
States Exposition Company met in Au-
gusta this morning, and declared the pro-
posed exposition Off. for the reason that
sufficient number Of States had not
responded. in accordance with the agree
ment entered into i'm Chicago I'm February
last This is TO be regretted because Of
the liberal offer made by Chicago. and the
great opportunity which the exposition
would have presented TO advertise the
South The Advisory Board feels that the
Provisional Committee OF Chicago has
complied with its agreement, and eX-
presses the earnest hope that a southern
exposition will be held in that city I'm the
not distant future.
Respectfully, PATRICK WALSH
Chairman"
The sentiment survives that the South
ern Exposition at Chicago is deferred,
but not abandoned.
Under favorable conditions the South
will be glad to accept a similar PROPOSE
ton from the public-spirted citizens of
Chicago and be able TO carry through
successfully Southern States exposition at
the metropolis of the great Northwest.

No More Liquor in the National
Capitol.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE
House yesterday passed a bill to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor in the capitol,
and to-day, at the opening Of the ses-
sion, Rev. Crowden, the blind chap
lain, referred in his innovation to the
fact.
"We thank Thee, Oh, Lord" said
he, seThat the House is no longer re-
sponsible for the liquor traffic within
the walls of the national capitol.
Grant, we pray Thee, that the bill
passed here yesterday will go through
the regular channels and speedily be-
come a law, never again to be re-
pealed in the history of our nation"
The conclusion of the prayer was
greeted with unusual demonstration.
half a hundred members applauded
vigorously, but Speaker Reed promptly

1t will not be the fault of the Designer,
for it gives directions and hints re-

getting by any means the bicyclist. A
charming little holiday comedy suita-
BILE for young people is one of the
pleasant things to be found in Its

pages devoted to fashions, appropri-
ately illustrated win probably be the
most interesting ones In the magazine

lowered its subscription price to IS
cents q year, its enormous circulation
warranting this act of generosity to-
wards the public; but the lowering of
the price by no means Is to be con-
stfued az o lowering of its standard of
merit, a. the present number gives
ample evidence.

liams, Of this county; Sarah Belle
Hodges, of this county, and Mamie,
unmarried.
The deceased was q member of the
Baptist church and highly respected
by all who knew him az a Christian
gentleman. "Uncle Dick" has been
prominently identified with Audrain's
earlier history and has done much to
improve the interests of his home
county.
The funeral services were held at

mains were followed to the grave by a
large concourse Of relatives and
