grass and dotted with roses, evergreens and
other shrubs aud trees innumerable. Both
taste and wisdom have been shown in the
design and location of the buildings, two OF
which deserve special mention.
The Fine Arts Building is modelled after the
celebrated Parthenon at Athens, the chief
glory of all architecture. immortaized by
Phidias and the architects and sculptors who
lived in the golden age of Greece. 1t has been
reproduced exactly as to outward form aud
color, on high terrace in the center of the
park. A statue of Pallas AtheBe, which with
its pedestal viii be az feet high, now being
made in Paris, will be placed near the front of
the Parthenon. The Phidian statue was made
of gold aud ivory.
There is special propriety in the attempt Of
q State of the great Republic to reproduce,
even in ieeting vision. some of the wonder
full works of the age of Pericles, who stood at
the head of united Greece; the age of
Sophocles, Enripides and Aristophane, in
dramatic wit; of Ictinps and Callicrates,
architects of the Parthenon, and the many
maryels of the builders art erected at that
time; the age of Phidias. master of plastic art
who had the general supervision of the whole !;
age of art and letters and National glory. The
Parthenon was not completed until 3S1 B. c.,
being upward of 20 years in process of con-
struction.
The second building is partial counterpart
OF the Hermitage. homo of President Andrew
jackson, the pride of Tennessee. 1t is of
Colonial style of architecture, with suggestions
of the Greek, and will have Colonial sitting
room, the exact reproduction of room in the
Longfellow Home. Cambridge. Mass, once
the Headquarters of George Washington.
In one room of the Woman's Baiiding will
be shown patents and inventions of women
gathered from all parts of the country and
another room viii be furnished and fitted up
in the rare red cedar found only in Middle
Tennessee. Near the Woman's Building will

London, June 2S.-The Princess of
Wales jubilee dinner to the poor was
very successful. About 5000 denizens
OF the slums were sumptuously enter
talned at the various centers. The
princess, accompanied by the Prince of
Wales, Princess Victoria of Wales,
and Prince Charles, of Denmark, WIS.,
tied the principal halls. The places
visited by the royal party were the Peo-
ple's Palace, in the East End, Center
hall, in Holburn, and the Western
schoolhouse. AT the Peoples Palace
the royal visitors were received by the
lord mayor and the lady mayoress.
The children at the Peoples Palace
were all cripples. They were wheeled
in bath chairs, limped on crutches, or
were carried into the banquet hall. At
the Central hall, Holburn, 1900 peo-
pie, young and old, partook of the ban
quet served. The members of the roy
al party shook hands with and spoke
encouraging words to many ragged
waits. The same scenes were enacted
at Clerkenwell.
At the Peoples Palace the princess
herself made the first block of ice cream
with patent freezer, to the delight of
the children.

England Hears the News.

London, June 2S.-In the house of
commons today the parliamentary Sec
retary for the foreign Office replied to a
question of Beckett, conservative, re-
garding Hawaiian annexation. He said
the government was aware that pro-
posL to annex Hawaii to the United
States had been submitted for the con-
sideration of the senate, but no dec-
sion had been reached. The secretary
added it would be the object of her
majesty's government to see that what
ever rights according to international
law belong to Great Britain and Brit
ish subjects are fully maintained.

Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

Calistoga, CAL, June 2S.-A fatal
shooting affray took place today on the
place of w. r. Coburn, was killed IA
miles from here, w. II. Coburn was
killed and Deputy Sheriff Storey was
fatally wounded. Sheriff Pardee and
a posse were in pursuit of G. w. Co
burn, son of the deceased, who escaped
from Jail at Lockport year ago. 1t
was discovered that the escape was in
hiding at his fathers place, and posse
was formed to capture him, but the
father appeared on the scene, and was
about to shoot Parsons, when two of
the posse fired at him. Young Coburn
then used his gun on Storey, who will
die. Young Coburn escaped in the con-
fusion which followed, but his capture
is only matter of few hours.

Washington, June 2S.-The senate
today completed the wool, the silk and
the tobacco schedules of the tariff bill,
and, with this accomplished, the tariff
leaders had the satisfaction of knowing
that all the schedules of the bill and
the free list had been gone over once.
There now remains only to go thrc.lgh
the bill second time, passing on the
items passed over. These are very nu-
merOus and important, including hides,
gloves, coal, tea and leer. After that,
the internal revenue features will be
all that remains. Progress was rapid
today, although every paragraph relat-
ing to carpets was stubbornly contested.
The consideration of the silk schedule
led to strong contest against the pro-
posed duties on silk fabrics. Senators
Teller and Mantle Joined with the
Democrats in opposition. The para
graph was passed by majority of two.
The tobacco schedule went through
with little friction, after the committee
had advanced the duty slightly on
wrapper and leaf tobacco.

The Rains Stop Fighting.

New York, June 25.-A letter writ
ten by General Maxine Gomez, dated
May II, has been received by the Gu
ban junta. 1t states that the rains
having begun, fighting is over for the
season. During the period of inactiv-
ity the Cuban army is reduced to 5000
men, but, writes Gomez, these men
are well-equipped, well-fed, sturdy
and efficient soldiers. The Spanish
army, the Cuban general describes az
ill-equipped and ill-fed.
