The decrease of PA per cent in' the
bank clearings of the country last week
as compared with the corresponding
week of the year before, casts a strong
light upon the condition of business
The two preceding years were far from
being good. and the aggregate shrink
age has been enormous. 1t was in
evftable that such shrinkage should
come after the decline of prices Of
agricultural products to one-half nor

The Idaho secretary of state raised
a tempest by hesitating over the certi-
fication of two of the tickets filed in
his office However, after advising with
members of the Mckinley committee,
as the dispatches state, he concluded
to do his duty and certify the tickets to
the counties. The question arises,
What has the Mckinley committee to
do with the performance of a state
officials duties? Has Mark Hanna al
ready taken charge of the affairs of
Idaho? Has he established a satrapy
there for the government of the state
And has he found an official ready to
surrender to the new form of admins
tration the duties entrusted to him by
the people?

TALES OF THE DAY.
finance in the sunday school.


The Sunday school needed money. and
Mr.. Smart the superintendent, had a
new way of getting it.
He proposed giving each boy half a
crown. AT the ned OF month the prlnci-
pal, together with what it earned, was
TO be returned to him.
The scheme was good, but it didn' t
work quite as Mr.. Smart had anticipated.
The fourth Sunday found the superln-
tendent ready 10 audit the profit ana loss
accounts, and he commenced with
Johnnie's class.
How have you done, johnny
My half crown has earned another
one" said Johnnie, with the air of one
having an option on halo.
Good said the superintendent. Not
only is Johnnie a good boy in helping the
school, but he shows business talent.
Doubling ones money in a single month
requires no common ability. Who can
tell but what we may have another bud
ding Croesus among US? Johnnie, you
have done well. And now, Thomas, how
much has your half crown earned?'
Lost it," said Thomas.
What Not only failed to earn any
thing, but actually lostT' said Mr.. Smart.
How was that?'

A rather commemorate plan has been
inaugurated in some eastern cities by
persons who desire to visit the Paris
exposition in 1900, but who are not
likely to have the necessary means for
the trip if they trust to their individual
accumulations. 1t takes the form of
club organization. The members pay a
small sum weekly in dues. and the club
gives entertainments of various kinds
to increase the fund. Those who have
gone into the scheme believe they can
secure special rates and that their ex-
penses per capita will be much less
than single individual would incur.
It is expected that, when the time ar
rives for the trip, the treasury will con-
tain sufficient money to carry the club
through the outing thus being secured
without having involved any sacrifice.

A Conventional disappointment.

aged man with enthusiasm.

companion, with equal warmth.
We can't expect to attain victory with
out a struggle. But when it does come 1t

that the whole world is waiting in sus>

The younger mans face fell. There was
tremulous strain in his voice as he said:

artificial cavern on the bottom of the

artificial cavern on the bottom Of the
sound, which will be one of the great
attractions of the exposition. Descend
ing to the bottom OF the cavern the
visitor will, through the electrically
lighted waters, through the windows
OF the cavern, obtain an insight into
the existence Of the fauna and the liv-
ing creatures of the deep.
The Art Palace will no doubt be
architectually the most beautiful of
the buildings. Erected in Moorish
style, its marble-like walls reflected
in the grand canal at it's side, with it's
rich mural decorations, and the con-
trasting with its close neighbor, the
Machinery Hall, it will form an at
tractive architectural group The in
terror of the Art Palace in the space
reserved for sculpture, will be laid
out as tropical garden, in which the
marble treasures will find a suitable
frame, doing away with the conven-
tional museum-llke appearance.
From the garden pilIared entrances
will lead to the rooms reserved for
pictures. The art exhibition will be
universal. The most famous French,
Italian, German, English and Ameri-
can artists will be represented. Prince
Eugene, Duke of Nerike, the young
est son of King Oscar, himself a
prominent landscape painter, is the
chief of the art section, and recently,
while in Paris he met some of the most
famous of the American painters, and
they made the Prince the promise to
exhibit at Stockholm next summer.
The Prince also stated that he intend
ed to visit the United States during
the fall to invite American artists and
owners of private galleries to exhibit
during the exposition. The Prince is
very democratic in his manners and
tastes, and, while he may visit New
port, he will expect to be received
only as private gentleman, frowning
on all attempts to make fuss and
feathers of his royal rank.
The exposition will also have po-
litical significance, as next year King
Oscar will celebrate the twenty-tifth
anniversary OF his reign as ruler OF
Sweden. The jubilee will be the oc-
casion of a grand demonstration on the
part of the Swedes, and also by the
royal families CT Europe, who have all
signified their intention to visit
Stockholm during the jubilee period.
King Oscar has, of course, taken a
great interest in the exposition, both
as an artist and as the ruler of the
country. As Director General of the
exposition, the King appointed Mr.
Arthur LETTER, the royal Swedish Com
missioner to the Worlds Fair. The
President of the exposition is Baron
Tamm, the Governor-General of
Stockholm, and the Secretary is the
we'll known journalist, Thore Blanche.
In the United States thousands of
Swedes are making arrangements to

This particular ostrich-the first of
all racing ostriches-is one of the
featurss of the menagerie at Elitch's

gardens of the Old World. You might
fancy there that you were in Vienna
or Berlin.

trich has never yet had courage to get
the bird fully extended, SO nobody,

establishm ent is a familiar sight,
knows just how badly the ostrich
could sh after the pacing records if he
had chance to try.

The Art Palace and the Fishery Build

will be finished before winter sets in,
and the remaining buildings will all
be completed before next March. The
grounds will be laid out with all the
skill of the landscape gardeners art
aided by nature.
Another important event of the ex
position period will be the dedication
of the new Royal Opera House, mag

parison with the Grand Opera House

Stockholm Exposition the beauty of
the location is at once seen. With its
two sea fronts, one on the Deergarden
Park Sound and the other on the salt
water of the Gulf of Bothnia, and its
charming continuance to the royal
park of the Deergarden, it will be not
alone an exponent of Scandinavian art
and industry, but also an exponent of
Swedish landscape nature for which
Stockholm is celebrated throughout
| Europe.
The exposition will have two prin-
cipal entrances, one by the new boule-
ward over the Deergarden Bridge, and
the marine entrance from the harbor.
Coming in by the Deergarden en-
trance, a vast plaisance laid out with
lawns, fountains. and flower beds
meets the eye. Straight ahead in the
far distance is seen the picturesque
front of the Manufactures Building,
with it's towers and dome. Broad
avenues cross the plaisance, leading
to the various places and buildings.
