 American Exposition.
rvelve Great Structures Constitute a Grand Group That Compare Favor ably with the White City of
 Chicago's Fair.
Especial Nashville CTennl Letterl

The appropriation by the United States congress of $l30,O00 for build ing and a government exhibit at the Tennessee Centennial and International exposition completes the grand scheme of the exposition managers and rounds ont the success for which they have labored so diligently and efficiently during the past l2 months. The broad scope of the enterprise as originally planned has been fully provided for, and that which many thought to be ,m- possible has been accomplished.
 The main buildings, representing some of the finest specimens of ancient architecture the world has ever known. have been erected and completed witt the single exception of the History tuilding-one of the grandest of the entire group-and this is now we'll under way. Outside of the state, foreign and county buildings and some smaller ones for amusements, concessions, etc., there are 12 principal structures, so arranged and located, each one con forming in some degree to the others in form position and architecture, as to make a group that compares favorably to the White City" of the Chicago worlds fair.

The interior is finished in hard wood. A broad gallery extends around three sides and the main floor and gallery will seat 6.000 persons. The numerous conventions of the year will be held in this building.
 Plans for the Government building have not been completed. but the gem eral idea will conform to the style and character of the other buildings. It will add immensely to the beauty and grandeur of the whole. and the exhibit made in this building will be one of the greatest interest and value.
 Other buildings. including Children's, Education. Negro. Administration, Knights of Pythias and buildings for other societies. states. counties. etc. will conform 10 the general plan of the architecture. and like the principal buildings (eNcept the Parthenon and the History and one or two others) are constructed of framework and fin- ished in staff, presenting a uniformly white appearance, making a complete and artistic group of surpassing beauty.
 The entire cost of this exposition will approximate S1.500,O00. and as the greatest economy has been observed Tn carrying forward the construction and promotion it would be safe to say that the work would not have been done under less careful management Tor twice the money that has actually been expended. No city in the country has achieved a greater triumph within the century which is nearing it's close.
 The management is using every en- deavor to bring together the most con- plete and varied collection of things that can be procured. and the encour- agement in this direction is such that there is no longer any doubt of the success of the enterprise from every point of view.

Sending a telegram" says Phila- delphia telegraph man, lis serious busi- ness for the ordinary man or woman They think it's expensive. and only use the wires when they have to. There's one exception. however, and kind of complimentary business that most peo- pie would never suspect. Whenever there's Hebrew wedding--that is, one of any mportance-we handle scores of congratulations, hundreds some times, from all parts of the country. They are sent with directions to deliver them at a certain hour, and we general ly send them all to the house or the place where the reception is held in one bunch. It's good thing for the com pany, for the senders don't count the words, and file their telegrams without any revision. Sometimes they run up to 100 or 150 words."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

How a Western Man Protects His Gam
 bling House.

How a Western Man Protects His Gam-
 bling House.
 The gambling spirit in men is the parent of much invention. In one west ern city a man named Jack Morrison operated the most marvellous gambling house ever known. In case of police raid the tables would become suddenly something entirely different, musical instruments would be revealed, the roulette wheel would resolve itself into big bass drnm. and the men standing around worrying with the tiger wo,ild be metamorphosed into artists of sing niar merit. Jack himself usually played the large bass horn, which was .ie cemetery of ten or twelve pounds of chips; Bibbins operated upon the great unwieidy viol, into which he had just dumped several dozen packs of cards, while Whites chief duty was to c,atter on the snare drum, which, pro- vided with shrewd contrivance in the manner of door, was the receptacle of of the faro layout. The others, visitors included, were promptly supplied with comets. cymbals. flies, reeds, triangles and all sorts of things, and when the police finally gained entrance 1t would be to find the most villainous band ever known to the heavens above, the earth below, or the waters under the earth. The music produced was extremely cx- cruciating, and no inquiring force of police raiders was able to withstand it's awful blandishments for more than three minutes. The representatives of law and order once safely out of the building, the games would be resumed where they were interrupted. and Hendershot would open up the stud- poker contest, temporarily abandoned to the protection of an accordion, and would pull the cottage organ out into its former crescent-shaped condition. and the buck would be passed with great but discreet joy.
 One night. however. cornstarch drummer from Cincinnati, in the ex- citement of attempting to play The Moonlight Sercnade" on a cornet or some other wind instrument, inhaled about $33 worth of blue chips, and choked, and had apoplexy. and by so doing advertised the fact that his appar- atus was whited sepulcher, and the whole outfit was hauled away and fired and the game was stopped. - Chicago Record

ance of solidity and premanency, while the art displayed in their construction and finish appeals to the wonder an1 admiration of the visitor and makes him open his eyes in astonishment.
 These buildings having been cont pleted. the exposition could be opened at once, and the management having offered to refund all money charged for space if the exhibits are in place on opening day there remains no dount that tEe exposition will be complete, or essentially so, on the day the gates are thrown open to the public. In this par ticular the Tennessee centennial and international exposition will avoid an noyance from the builders and exhibit ors, who will be out of the way or will have their goods in place when the first visitors arrive.
 The handsome recognition by the United States government. and the re mafkable interest manifested by foreign countries, establishes the claim and purpose of the Exposition cont Tany that this celebration of the states one-hundredth anniversary is not to be local or sectional affair. but an event of international importance. The pco- pie of Tennessee, and especially of Nashville, feel just pride in this event. They have made some progress during the century that is past and are not ashamed to show what they have done, tut they especially desire to stimulate future generations to make greater

 Cabinet Officer.


 Cabinet Oficer.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The United States is now maintaining 2s scientific bureaus, giving employment to 5,s25 persons. For the support of them the government is appropriating nearly Ss,000, 900. The A agricultural expert ment stations are not included. The trouble about this very liberal ene6dr- agement of scientific work at public ex- pense is that most of the bureaus are working entirely independent of the others, supervised and directed by their immediate chiefs, who have wide lati- rude in the exercise of their discretion, and are at liberty to branch out in all most any direction, provided they can secure an appropriation from congress to pay the necessary expenses. The remedy for this confusion and duplica- tion is a consolidation into a depart ment of science, with director in charge. The proposition of Assistant Secretary Dabney, of the department of agriculture, is that a board be formed to perfect consolidation.

The Gold Reserye.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-One hundred and fifty million dollars is the goal which the treasury officials now hope to reach before the season of gold ex. ports sets in. The official gold reserve yesterday was S142, ,539, s20. The supply of notes of the denominations of Sl and g. already has been exhausted, and notes of s and S10 are now being paid out. It is not the policy of Treasures Morgan to ship small notes largely to San Francisco, because they are not usually in much demand. gold being the medium of ordinary transactions. The present rate of increase in the gold reserve would carry the amount to $50, 900, 900 in about 20 days.

 Agriculture hall is renaissance, its dimensions being 525x175 feet. The principal dome rises 100 feet at the center and, with six smaller domes ap- propriately placed, the proportions are especially pleasing.
 In Machinery hall the architect, witL the Parthenon as prototype and the famous Propylaeum in Munich as a component part, has satisfied the most exacting critic in architectural art. The measurements are 375x13S fee> While machinery of almost every de soription will be exhibited in this build ing, no steam will be admitted. The boilers and great engines will be in the power station, located some distance from any of the other buildings.
 The Transportation building is HOOK l20 feet. The characteristic@eatu of the design IS it's simplicity. No col umns are used, but a charming effect has been secured by simple lines and plain surfaces. The sculpture and re- lief work are symbolical of the business tor which the building is to be used, illustrating the progress of 100 years in the matter of transportation.
