The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1897-10-01

Since my appointment on July 27 ]
have been steadily at work. I spent a
month in feeling the public pulse. 1 did
that largely through correspondence
and through newspaper publications.
From the answers received, 1 feel safe
in saying that we shall need more space
in 1900 than at previous exhibitions and
that our exhibit will be of "a higher or
der of merit. 1 am more anxious to Sc
lect exhibits which will be truly repre-
sentative and characteristic rather than
exhibits merely remarkable for their
size.
Our people have great reason to be
grateful to the French republic for the
magnificent: exhibit it made in Chicago
in 1898.
1T gives me great pleasure to meet
again the distinguished Frenchmen I
met in Chicago, and 1 am quite sure I
can rely upon their cooperation. 1 have
sent Director General Picard an advance
copy of the History of the Columbian
Exposition" In view of 1900, 1t is par
ticularly valuable, and when we were
preparing for the Chicago exhibition we
would have given anything if history
of the French exhibition of 1889 were OBJ
tainable.
II am in great hope that the work set
on foot in Chiacogo and New York will
bring a full response, so as to enable
us to judge as to space. The impression
at present is that we can fill creditabIy
600, 900 square feet. There is no reason
why we should have less than any other
country except France.

lions has been lost upon France.

Lynn, Mass, Sept, H.-Four lives were
lost, it is thought, off Swampscott last
night, during the storm. William
Phillips, Patrick Horgan, Bessie Cor
coran and another girl, whose name can
not be learned, are the probable victims.
Yesterday morning Phillips and Horgan,
accompanied by the two girls, hired a
dory for a sail about the bay. UP to this
morning they had not returned, and the
parents of the missing parties. all of
whom are less than 10 years of age, were
anxiously walking the beach awaiting
some tidings of the absent ones. 1t is
thought that they were caught in the
souan as they were returning home, that
the boat was capsized and the occupants
were drowned.

Our Exhibit Thinks the Commissioner.

United States for the exhibition of 1900,
has lost no time in beginning work. In
conversation with a representative of
the press. Major Handy said:
There is a rapidly increasing interest
In the United States with regard to the
exhibition of 1900. There has never been
any doubt about the people taking hold
of it with enthusiasm. But pubic at
tention was so engrossed with the presi-
dental election, with an extra session
of congress, with the tariff question, ETC.,
that there was no time to devote to the
exhibition. President Mckinley is very
interested in it, and sent two messages
to congress concerning it.

Bread and Butter Worries.

Those who are born rich are saved
from that incessant bread-and- butter
worry that tries the souls of mankind
Comparatively few of us, however, are
exempt from the worries that haunt the
daily life struggle, and in consequence
the most useful lives are generally the
ones marked for nervous collapse. We
cannot give up, our families must be
provided for, but what are they going
to do when we do give up? Under this
strain of constant effort of mind and
body no one can continue indefinitely
unscathed, and multitudes of half-brok-
en- men and women surround us. They
have consulted their doctors without
securing aid, and they work along as
well as they can in an aimless sort of
way that seems to be without hope of
relief. All of such worn out, spiritless
people can be cured and put quickly on
their feet by DR.. Greene, the great spe-
cialist, of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, discoverer of the world-famed
Nervura, and many other wonderful
remedies that cure the ills of men and
women. This famous man can be con-
suited absolutely free by personal call
or by letter through the mail, and his
advice, which means health to you, can
be had for the asking.
The closest attention is given to let
ter correspondence, your description of
your case being instantly ineligible to
the wide experience of this scientific
physician. If you are i'll, write to DR..
Green and be well.

stood favorable comparison with any of
