NAsHVILLE's BIG SHOW.

Everything Is Practically Complete
for the Opening Day.
Nashville, Tenn, April 3O.-1n spite Of
the constant rains for weeks. delaying
and retarding work in every department
the centennial, practically complete with
exhibits in every building, is ready tc
throw open its gates tomorrow morning
Visitors have been coming all day and to-
night trains from all directions brought
in more. Hon. Adlai e. Stevenson and
party and Governor Lou Stevens of Mis-
souri, have already come and will partici'
pate in the simple opening ceremonies
Though some of the buildings, including
the government building and some special
state buildings, will not be fully COM
pleted for some days every building to
contain exhibits is ready for occupation
and contains exhibits. The large and
commanding structures have been busy
scenes night and day this week, while ex'
hibits were put in place and hnlshlng
touches given. There are the auditorium,
parthenon, which is the art gallery, COM
merce, woman's agricultural, machinery,
minerals and forestry, transportation,
children's historical, governmental, negro
and railway buildings.
The roads and walks, shrubbery and
grass, are in excellent condition, but the
Indictment weather has prevented the re-
moyal of the flowers and plants from the
green houses. The Cincinnati, Knox
Vile and other city buildings are ready,
and some of the state buildings. while
others are just under way.
The exhibits made by railroads. both
north and south, are extensive and COM
plete. and consist in large measure of
out-of-door displays of minerals, plants
and trees.
The official ceremonies tomorrow will
be brief and simple, with no special eff
fort at display, but marked by dignity.
The following program will be OBJ
served:
Parade of the Ancient Essenic Order,
and other orders. with 5000 men in line,

duplicating any individuals composing the
mob. The guards said that they were
Gil masked, and that there appeared to
be both white men and negroes in the
party.
The general opinion of the neighbor-
hood is that all of the Thomas brothers
were guilty, but there are many who
think Gates and Rhoan were innocent
Thomas boys to shield himself.
A curious fact about the lynching is
that Will Williams was not hanged with
the others, nor is there any one up to
this time who seems to know what be-
came of him.

TAKING THE TEMPERATURE.
Sometimes 1t Happens That the Their
mOmeter Is Taken.


mOmeter Is Taken.
At the Aquarium the temperature Of
the water in the tanks and pools is
taken daily by means of a thermometer
especially designed for such uses, which
is lowered into the tank by cord. If
there is a loose end that makes tas-
sci where the cord is tied on to the
thermometer, some fish may nip at
that, mistaking it for something that
can be eaten. Sometimes when the
thermometer is lowered into the water
all the fish in the tank sweep around
and make for it and swim up very
close to it, their noses all pointing at
it. But they do not come to see how
the mercury stands. They had seen
the CLINT Of the metal case in the wa
ter, and all had made dart for it, eX-
pecting to find something to eat. In
the shallow and comparatively light
waters of the Aquarium tanks they
could see when they got near that it
was not what they expected, or they
sheered off, perhaps, because it was
too big to swallow.
In deep sea work, in photographic
surveying and in deep sea fishing for
specimens, it sometimes happens that
big fish will swallow the lead with
which soundings are being taken; and
sometimes a big fish will swallow the
thermometer that has been lowered
to the bottom to take the temperature.
Such occurrences are not common, but
they are not sufficiently unusual to be
counted as remarkable. And in such
a case the lead or thermometer is not
likely to be lost. Usually it is attached
to a wire, strong enough to hold it
and the fish, too, and unless the fish
lets go it is caught.-N. Y. Sun.

eeRMANY.s POLITICAL POLICE.
An Odious Institution of the Bis
MARKHAM Regime.

An OdtOuB "a sAC ~~
MARKHAM Regime.
One boastthe German is never weary
of making in regard to his government
as compared with that of the United
States, namely, that the Officials of the
fatherland are distinguished, # not for
enterprise, at least for honesty. In
the main this Is true, but there IRE ex-
ceptions. The late ChanceliaI u marck
had no sooner got his !r!Dsl al ma
chinery in running oTdcT, :" cars ago,
than he introduced US l;'"i & his gov
eminent one of the most od.ous fea-
lures of Russia, namely, the secret po-
litical police. He set aside large sums
of money with which to pay informers'
spies, and class of wretches, unknown
in America, called agents provocateurs.
The business of these last gentlemen
was to organize disturbances among
socialists, in order that the government
might have an excuse for making arrests
Of such as the great prime minister YVES
pleased to call enemies of the empire"
or such as we would call enemies to the
Bismarckian policy.
The fruit which this tree has borne is
very bitter. A recent trial IN Berlin
disclosed the painful fact that this Sc
cret police, intrusted with the most
delicate Of all political tasks, has been
using it's powers for the purpose OF adj
vancing the interests Of court clique
as opposed to the constitutional gov
eminent of the country. Bribery, for
gerry, perjury, have been used in the
hopes of damaging Baron Marschall,
who is head of the German foreign
office, and a man wholly above the vul-
gar intrigues that flourish in the at
mosphere of court. But perhaps the
saddest feature in the case is the side
light it throws upon the German press.
Our own papers are not models Of puri-
ty, but it would be difficult to name a
New York paper capable of doing such
dirty work as is expected of so-called
official and semi-offlcial papers in the
land of Schiller and Goethe. When we
in America read that the German press
attacks this man or praises that one, it
does not mean that the editors of these
different papers have reached an indie
pendent opinion in regard to their rel
alive merits, but it too frequently does
mean that they have been instructed by
the political police, or some other organ
of state, that they must say this, that,
or the other.-Harper's Weekly.

NATURAL GAS

San Antonio. Tex, April 30.-(Special.)
Natural gas in immense quantities was
discovered today in an artesian well
being drilled on the premises of the +. f.
Collins Manufacturing company. on
Houston street, in this city. The well
was being drilled for water, and with no
thought of striking gas, which was found
at depth of 500 feet below the surface.
A small reservoir was speedily put in
and connected with gas Jet. The light
thus produced was superior to coal gas.
The supply of gas is apparently in
exhaustible, and will at once be utilized
for fuel by the Collins Manufacturing
company.

MALE SOCIETY BUD.
He Has Arrived and Great Things Are
Expected of Him.

Expected OF Him.
If the blossoming of the female "bud'
into flower of society is proper topic
for newspaper discussion, why should
not the male "bud" be also honored
with detailed "write-up" in the public
prints, so that his charms may be as
widely advertised as those Of the at
tractive creatures who depend upon
him for seats at the opera and part
ners at the german? Evidently there
is no just reason for the discrimination
from the point of view Of Washing
ton paper, which presents in several
columns the best qualities of number
of masculine "buds" which are now full
blown.
The proud monopoly which the fairer
sex have heretofore enjoyed is thus
ludely assailed, and hereafter it would
not be surprising if the enterprising
society reporter has to give as much
attention to those coy young things
that wear dress coats and belong to the
club as he has heretofore devoted to
the ladies. Whether this shall prove
to be am affliction remains\to be seem,
but the novelty Of the innovation will
no doubt lend some interest at first
to the apotheosis of the male bud"
Blond or blondine, brunette or straw
berry type, he will be pictured to US
in all his stunning beauty.
The part of his hair, the length of
his collar and the brevity of his top
coat, the style of his boots and the
color OF his gloves, the diameter of his
eyeglasses and the angle at which he
wears his silk hat--all these details
and many more not here set forth will
DO dwelt upon with the nice analysis
and painstaking industry of the society
reporter. Eyelashes, teeth, trim of
beard or mustache, nose of Grecian or
Roman type, perhaps retrousse or ex-
pansive, will not be neglected, of course.
Great things are promised for the
exaltation Of the male "bud" and If
he has heretofore blossomed in OBJ
scurity the time Of his apotheosis has
come. No longer will he be a violet
in modest seclusion, but sunfower,
brilliant, if not gaudy-Baltimore Sun.
