Exchange Committed (which provides for supplying
the need OF freproof building for preserving the
public records But he thinks that 1t ought to be
the frs: step toward securing a new and suitable
building for all the city and county Offices Mr..
Purroy adds:

plish this most desra bic result would be to start In
now by purchasing through condemnation proceed

BEyDRTCKTS PETITION REFUSED.

Attornev.GsneraI Hancock heard arguments I'm his
law Office at No 81 Pine-st. yesterday AFTERNOON
on a petition by Mortimer Hendricks for suit In
the name Of the people Of the State Of New-fork to
remove the directors OF the Manhattan Railway
Company and to compel them to pay back divi-
dends which were paid out in 1894 and 1873 MT.
Hendricks Is the holder OF Manhattan bonds
amounting to $1,000 OF the issue Of s400co.0O0 and
his petition was made on the allegation that the
company was paying dividends with borrowed
money instead Of with money earned. and that the
company should It's surplus In lettering the eie-
waited roads and their equipment. On THURSDAY
Justice Truax denied application by MI
u.ndricks for an Injunction to restrain the direc-
tors Of the company from paying out Its dividend
for 1898.
Edmund L. Cole counsel for Mr.. Hendricks. yes
terday argued for a suit against the directors or
the company. J. T. Davies. arguing In reply for
the company, said that Mr.. Hendricks had no stand

THE AMERICAN WALTHAM

reason why WALTHAM watches
are the best timekeepers made

LIKE A GIGANTIC WHEEL.
B1ffaIO Exhibition Buildings Planned
on Novel Lines.


Cayuga island near Buffalo, n. Y, is to
be the site Of a Pan-American exposition
in 1889, and the promoters OF the proJect
have hit upon novel idea, when, when VIII III
constructed. The character of this plan is
outlined in an article in the Buffalo Elk
press, from which the following IS taken:
One serious objection to the general plan
of the great Columbian exposition in Chi
cago in 1898, and, in fact the arrange
ment of all the great worlds fairs, has
been the scattering of the buildings in
which the exhibits were placed and the
fatigue and time consumed IN making the
tour. For the exposition of 1899 IT has
been determined to adopt an entirely new
plan. The first important point decided
upon in this direction has been the char-
acter of the main exposition pulldlng, or;
rather group OF buildings, the ground
plan proposed for which is herewith given.
1t comprises eight outer buildings, con-
nected by eight rotundas, with eight cross
halls extending inwards from the outer
buildings and connecting with an octa-
gonal inner building arranged IN eight sue
divisions, with circular central nail. by
this arrangement vast amount or space
for exhibits will be provided, and, While
each Recruitment will be distinctly sepa-
rated from the other, the whole group Will
be in most convenient, concentrated
form. The group would cover a space OF
about forty-two acres, or I9VO oVO square
feet, which exceeds the amount of space
similarly occupied by any OF the great
buildings of any previous worlds falr Inc
eight rotundas are intended Tor entrance
yenience of the visitors exclusively.
The proposed classification of the ex-
hibits in the eight large outer buildings is
entirely novel 1t leads in due sequence
through various phases of human affairs,
commencing with Substance, toliowed IN
order by Domicile, Locomotion Education,
Recreation Invention. Industries and q Arts rs
and Sciences. These, OF course, Would pe
subject to appropriate subdivisions. Each
of these buildings viii have floor tS+ space space
shall be q second floor gallery In each
The cross halls will each be 225 feet, long
by 10 feet wide, and are to be assigned
to Canada the British provinces, Mexico,
Central America, South America, Hawaii
and possibly Cuba, should she. attain,
proper measure of Independence before the
exposition opens. The eight inner divisions
are intended fer the eight groups of States
of the Union, and the central space Is to
be set apart for the various departments
of the United States government. The
eight inner dotted spaces are not to be
under cover, but will afford ample light
and air to the inner portions of the group,
anu can be utilized for floral or other open

desire to arouse antagonism in that quar-
ter. The managers had rather go around
than try to so through them
From semi-official advices received here
it would appear that work on the Panama
canal is receiving continual stimulation;
that the pressure is being steadily in
creased, in fact While America has been
backing and filing about the Nicaraguan
canal the French have been going right
ahead digging their big ditch as fast as
five to seven thousand men can do the work
with the aid of new and improved machin-
cry. The Panama canal contractors, by
the way, are prohibited from using any
machinery or material in the canal work
that is not of French manufacture or
French production. No Yankees need APP
ply. ."
Senator Teller, leader of the free-silver
Republicans, as they still call themselves,
has practically all of his worldly goods in
vested in gold mines in Colorado. Senator
Lee Mantle, of Montana, another free-sil-
verite has gold mining interests, and his
colleague, Senator Carter, has rich gold
mine from which he confidently expects to
dig out a million or two. Senator Shoup
of Idaho, and Senator Wilson, both OF
whom have decided free-silver leanings,
though sticking to their party, are more
or less interested in gold mines and very
little in silver. Senator Wilson struck 1t
rich about a year ago. and was taking out
$1,000 a month as his share at last accounts.
A year before that he nearly went broke"
paying assessments on stock he had in bro
ken banks and making good certain in
dorsements. Senators Jones (of Nevada,
New York and California;, Stewart, Can
non and Perkins, all tinctured or saturated
with free-silver theories, have interests in
gold mines. 1t would appear, therefore,
that silver-mine ownership is not neces-
sarily an essential ingredient in the COM
position of an apostle of 10 to 1 from the
mountain districts. 1t must be lin the air. ="

The Future OF the RED Man.
Simon Pokagon. in the Forum.


Having briefly reviewed some Of our past
history the fact must be admitted that,
when the white men first visited our shores,
we were kind and conhding; standing be-
fore them like a block OF marble before
the sculptor ready to be shaped into noble
manhood. Instead of this, we were oftener
hacked to pieces and destroyed.
1t is useless to deny the charge that at
times we have been goaded TO Vindictive
and cruel acts. Some of my own tribe
however were soldiers in the Northern
army during the civil war. Some of them
were taken and held prisoners in the rebel
prisons; and the cruelty which, according
TO the tales thew tell, was witnessed there
was never outdone in border warfare with
the scalping knife and tomahawk. And
vet believe that had the Northern people
been placed I'm the South under like cir
cuInstances their prisoners Of war would
have been treated with similar cruelty. 1t
was the result OF desperate effort to save
an expiring cause. | believe there Is no
reasonable person, well grounded in United
States history who will not admit that
there were ten times Is many who persisted
miserably in Southern prisons as nave been
killed bv our people since the discovery
Of America. / recall these facts not to
censure but to show that cruelty and re-
venge are the offspring or war, not or race,
end that nature has placed no impossible
gulf betWeel Us and civilization.
While | most heartily lndorse the present
policy of the government in dealing with
our people / must admit-to be true TO my
own coavictions-that I am worried over
the ration system, under which so many
OF our people are being fed on the reser-
vations greatly fear may eventually
demption II permits the gathering of lazy
immoral white men of the worst stamp
who spend their time In idleneSs and In
corrupting Indian morality

SCALES USED by ASSAYERS.
So DeIicateIy Adjusted That a Pencil
Mark Turns Them.
Chicago Post.

SulCoSO OoIs
The question most commonly asked by
visitors in a chemists laboratory is How
small a thing can you weigh on your
scales?" 1t conveys little meaning to tell
the average person that good pair or
chemists balances will weigh accurately
10 one-tenth of one milligramme; but If he
is told that a short hair from man
head can be easily and accurately weighed
the questioner begins to approach the DELL
cacy of adjustment in the scales More
delicate still are the balances used by the
assayers The Weighing of gold by the as
sayer requires the greatest possible &C
curacy, since a small speck OF that metal
on the scale pan may represent very large
quantities Of it in the ore or bullion out in
the works The balances made for this
gold work. are the most sensitive OF any
used for commercial work. and, IN Iact
are more accurate than those employed by
many scientists. Some idea of their &C
curacy and sensitiveness can be obtained
by the following experiment;
A piece of Ordinary White paper the size
of a cent is carefully weighed and then a
short pencil mark is drawn on it and the
paper is reWeighed. The second weighing
viii differ from the first by just the weight
of the graphite left by the pencil mark Ii
care is taken and the balances are in per
feet adjustment the result will always be
the same no matter how many times the
paper without the pencil mark ana the
paper with it be weighed. The two weigh
ings always differ by just the same
amount, and that is the added weight Of
the graphite. OF course such balances re-
quire the greatest care, for they easily get
out of order and when once disarranged
there is no telling how long II may take
to get them adjusted again. 1t may be
two minutes and it may be two hours
Some good assayers say that II IS impoS-
sible to work successfully with gold Dal-
ances" unless one possesses a large STOCK
of patience and profanity. From what
know of skillful assayers should say that
this is approximately true.
