international Exposition.

The department of state has received
an invitation through the Belgian min
lister for the participation by the United
States in the international exposition
to be held at Brussels, beginning April
"a, 1897, and closing Nov. l OF the
same year. The secretary of state, In
letter to the secretary of the treasury.
has recommended that congress be ask
ed to appropriate the sum of $35. .00O
to enable this country to be properly
represented by commission. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that the Bel
gian government participated officially
at the Chicago exposition in the most
liberal manner, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that the industrial and COM
mercial interests of the. United States
would be greatly promoted by credit
able exhibit, although" it is added,
''the great bulk of our exports to Bel
gium consists of raw products and food
supplies, considerable quantity-be-
tween 80, 900, 900 and SO, 900, 900 worth
of manufactured goods-is purchased
annually by that country from the
United States, and the fact that, not
withstanding her great industrial de-
velopments, Belgium imports largely
of the finished products of other ad-
vanced manufacturing countries, such
as France and England, encourages the
hope that similar lines of goods from
the United States may find ample sale
in Belgium. As conducive to that re-
suit proper representation of this
country at the Brussels exposition is

Lumber Yard Catches on Fire.

Sparks from a passing train of the
Southern Pacific company about noon
Thursday set fire to Mr.. F.. Faudel's
lumber yard at Gibson. Fortunately
the fire was discovered before it had
gained much headway, otherwise the
mills and all would have been de-
stroyed. 1t took about fifty people,
who formed bucket brigade, about
thirty minutes to extinguish the flames.
The loss was about $l00.

RaiIroad to be Bullt to the Chautauqua

Prof l.. d. Boyd, chairman board of
directors; Prof. G. E. Byrd, one of the
managers of the Louisiana Chautauqua,
accompanied by Prof. b. G. Caldwell,
Prof. n. E. Chambers, of Monroe, a
civil engineer, from Shreveport, and a
practical plumber from Monroe, have
been in Raston, La. considering the
route and cost of railroad from Rus
ton TO the Chautauqua grounds, and
the plans and cost of a sewerage
system at the grounds. 1t is estimated
that street railway can be construct
ed at cost of $4,000, and that the in
come from the railroad will be not less
than $1,000 during the five weeks of the
Chautauqua, this making a very profit
able investment. A meeting of the
citizens was called Friday night to meet
the Chautauqua party and discuss q
means of raising funds for the con-
struction of the road, which resulted
in the appointment of capital stock OF
$4,000, and the work is progressing
nicely, some $500 being already sub
scribed. 1t is expected the necessary
amount will be raised in short time
and the road will be in operation for
the opening of the coming season.
This question of transportion between
Ruston and the grounds has for some
time been considered the gravest one
confronting the Chautauqua people,
and the strong probability of its early
arrangement is hailed with delight. 1t
is also reasonably certain that good
system of sewerage will be in operatio.

Amateur Rules should Govern
The Field Day sports OF the Future
Some More Anent the "Bo.s,
Rule-Terse Tales.

Since field athletics have become 3
popular in the copper country and sue
interest ia taken in the different field day
held at different times and in the differ
ent towns OF the county, principal,
through the efforts OF the Y.M.C. A.
whose work in this line has become &C
marked in late years, great deal of dis
eussion has arisen as TO who should be
allowed TO enter the sports held under
the auspices OF the associations.
There has also been a considerable
amount oil talk as to what profession
al man is, technically speaking, and the
idea as to whether such professionals
should be allowed to contest in Y.M. C..
A. sports. The idea that only ameteurs
should be allowed to enter is decidedly
the more popular among Calumet peo-
pie, at least, and, no doubt, il is the
same among the different towns in the
county. But what professional ath-
iete If does not appear to be fully and
generally understood. Technically speak
ing, any man is professional who has
ever contested for money or who has con.
tested with those who have contested
for money. Under this definition il
would be indeed hard to find an athlete
oil any recognized standing in the county
who is not professional, except perhaps
among the younger men and very few of
them who would not be classed as profess
SIGNALS under this ruling.
To place the sports OF the county on
strictly amateur basis is therefore a
question and the way to do this and still |
include the various athletes OF ability is
an interesting one.
Mr.. +. n. Bosom, who has been identi-
ned with copper country athletes almost
since they began, to take such a promi.
nent place, and who is recognized au.
thority on questions OF this nature is de-
cldedly in favor OF getting the sports on
an amateur footing and keep them so.
what ne proposes is that committee
consisting OF representatives from the
three associations. get together and re-
install all the copper country men as
amateurs, place them under the American
Athletic Association rules and then LET
hem take care OF their Individual rec.
'rds and in case they violate the priv.
eyes OF an ameteur, debar them from fu. .
ure contests OF the association. This '
will let every man know exactly what is I
expected OF him and will do away with d
uch unpleasant circumstances as was II
