908 BROADWAY, June 18.
Work on the county exposition to be
held in August commenced to-day. Un-
like last year, the whole of the block on
which the exposition buildings stand will
be fenced in and will be made attractive.
The grounds will be laid out with taste
and will be one OF the features OF the show.
Last year the exposition was originated
and opened within thirty days and was,
naturally, very crude though very sue
cessful one. 1t was held at Christmas and
was in the nature of midwinter show,
and it was, therefore. impossible for there
to be any fruit or floral display. BY hold
ing it in August there will be no limit to
the supply of flowers and some noteworthy
displays have been promised.
Work was begun to-day on the big fence
that will inclose the plot. Plows have
have also been put to work to break up
the soil, and the gardens will be planted
at once. There will be little Japanese tea
houses and out-of-door displays, and
many attractions that were not thought
of, or not possible, last December.
Craigie Sharp, the superintendent OF the
exposition, is now touring the interior OF
the county in the interest of the affair.
Every town will be visited and will be
asked to make display. Livermore has
fallen in line, and the League of Progress
will see that the eastern end of the valley
upholds its reputation. San Leandro
has Board of Trade, and several other
towns have local organizations, all OF
which will undoubtedly respond.
In connection with the exposition is the
permanent exhibit of the Oakland Board.
of Trade, which will be opened after the
exposition in the large hall in the Hall Of
Records, which is at present vacant. Many
of the exhibits will be transferred to the
permanent exhibition room and will be
kept in order for the purpose of establish
ing a place where visitors can see the
products and manufacturing development
of the county to advantage. The interior
towns will also have exhibits there and
the whole affair will be under the direc-
tion of Craigie Sharp. who is also secre-
tary of the Board of Trade.
Now that the Merchants Exchange and
the Board of Trade have signified their in
| tention to work hand in hand with the ex-
position, which is an incorporated body,
there is no doubt that the show will be an
elaborate and successful one. The execu-
tive committee is now busy laying it's
plans and will soon announce its readiness
to receive applications for space.

Commodore Leonard Was Hot at the
Encinal Yacht Club Members
Who Ignored Him.

ALAMEDA, CAL, June 1s.-As soon as
the news of McKinley's nomination was re-
ceived here the Republican leaders made
preparations for holding a ratification
meeting this evening.
A large crowd of veterans, regulars and
stalwarts turned out accompanied by
Dittmar's brass band and crowds. All ad-
iourned to the Linderman Opera-house.
The chief speakers were Colonel Babcock.
Judge Hunt, Colonel Dickinson and
George Payne,
Delaney Likes Law.
ALAMEDA, CAL, June 18.-F. N.
Delaney, who has acquired considerable
n otoriety in connection with his endeavors
to erect an electric light plant in this city,
has instituted proceedings for divorce
from his wife. Cruelty is stated as the
cause of the action. He alleges that his
wife threatened to have him charged with
arson unless he gave up his interest in the
estate of his dead boy to her; also that she
conspired with her daughter to defraud
him of $1,000, struck him on the arm and
called him vile names.
Mrs. Delaney, who has been an invalid
for MANY months, will file a cross-com-
on the ground of extreme cruelty.
She says she will endeavor to prove the
charge of arson and alleges that several
years ago he left her without means and
She was obliged TO obtain a divorce.
Shortly afterward she and her family in
herited $4,000 from relative in the East.
Delaney heard of it and went back to her,
made his peace and they were remarrled.
The Commodore Was Hot.
ALAMEDA, CAL, June 1S.-Two rumors
were current to-day in the papers about
prominent people. One was that President
Forderer of the City Trustees intended re-
SIGNING. The other was that Commodore
Leonard of the Encinal Yacht Club would
sever his connection with his old-time
favorite.
In neither is there any truth. The
former is said to have arisen from the fact
that Mr.. Forderer has severed his connec-
tion with the Forderer Cornice Wor ks,
Mission street, San Francisco.
With regard to Leonard, it appears that
the commodore was not in the best of
humor with some OF the yachtsmen fer
ignoring his directions when sailing, and
intimated IN plain language that his orders
would have to be attended to or new
commodore would be a necessity.

America is a country in comparison to
which Europe is Il small peninsula. The
United States is an empire, by whose -d q
the powers OF Europe appear as petty
States. America is the land of unmea sured
capacity and dimensions, the land OF dol
lars and electricity, the land where the
plains are wider, the rivers greater, the
waterfalls higher, the bridges longer. the
express trains faster, the catastrophes more
horrible than in all Europe; the country
where the buildings are taller, the raSCals
more numerous, the poor poorer, the mil
lionaires richer, the thieves bolder, the
murderers less bothered, and educated
people more rare than anywhere else.
1t is the land in which the teeth are more
false. the corsets tighter, disease more
dangerous, corruption more common, iB-
sanity more systematic, the summer hotter,
the winter more chilly, fire warmer and
ice colder, time more costly than in sleepy
old Europe The land where old men
are younger and youths older, the land
OF immeasurable natural resources and
of the most prodigiouS avarice.
In short, America is the land of the
greatest contrasts the crazieSt presump

dollar; it is the land OF everything colossal

T HERE is not in current literature a

tive society OF authors, and venerable and
famous litteratCurs yiel in doing honor TO
the youthful racontcur. Mr.. Crane was born
in Newark, y. J., and was a student OF La
Fayeue College. The family has included
a number OF cIergymen and soldiers, The
first Stephen Crane having come from Eng
land 10 Massachusetts in 1875. At sixteen
young Crane began his pen work, doing
hack work for the newspapers. Later he
wrote some sketches for the New York
Tribune and other papers. Low life n
the Manhattan metropolis interested him,
and a the age Of twenty-one he wrote,
put ia type, copyrighted. but failed of pub

Less than two years ago he called on the

writer OF merit, ana asked If he had no
story long enough for publication in book
form. He had none available, but told
them about The Rcd Padge of Courage

overcome an apparent obstacle OF this kind,
rescued The story and published it last au-
tum in book form. It's remarkable POWER
and OF ginality at CnCe attracted attention.
An English publisher gave the book to
his public, ana the English critics joined
in an almost unanimous chorus of eulugy.
This book was written when he was only
twenrr-twO. the narrative OF war scenes
is most yiviily realistic, and yet he knew
nothing OF service by experience. His talk
with OLD soldiers had yielded 'him little or
or nothing. because the old soldier is rare
" able to recall details and analyZe i'm
presSiOnS and emotions. Out of his own
imagination he evolved the feelings Of the
raw recruit in his first battle. and yet
the vivid realism of his results impreSses
itself upon every reader. In this he re-
semblrd the late PaTl Verlaine. He wrote
vividly and realistically, yet he seldom
left his bare. pOveTty-Strickan garret. which
was a studio only in name. When asked
where he got his experience and impress

was n creation of his imagination. The

to set new fashion i'm literature, aud some
enthusiastic English critics place him in
