before discovering way to
spend a million dollars to better
advantage than by appropriating that
sum for a fitting American exhibit at

economically expended, this amount of
money would unquestlonably prove a
profitable investment. The French gov

and all the nations of the world will be
represented.
our trade with the outside world has
a good foundation and has begun to
develop at such a rate as to alarm the
manufacturers of Europe. Very recent
ly the Austrian minister of foreign
affairs declared that the nations of the
old world would have to combine
against the overshadowing Importance
of American trade. The London Times,
too. has admitted that American goods
are crowding English trade in the mar
kets of the world 1t went even farther
and admitted the superiority of Ameri-
can machinery and the superior intelli-
gence of the American mechanic. A
notable triumph of our machinery and
mechanical appliances over all others
has been recorded at Pittsburg, where
the Westinghouse Electric company
announced that it had been awarded
two important contracts for electrical
machinery in the Old World. The first
contract is for the complete equipment
of the street railways of Glasgow.
Scotland, with apparatus, including
engines, dynamos and cars. There are
seventy miles of railway there, owned
by the city. The second contract was
from Spain for engines and dynamos
for street lighting in Malaga. Hereto
fore the city has been supplied with
English machinery, but complete new
plant is TO be installed. and after gen
eral inquiry II was found that the
American machinery was the best.
Not only is our machinery of various
kinds finding favor in Europe and in
China and Japan, but the record of 1896,
and the current year, shows that in
score of lines of manufacture the
American product is chosen in direct
competition and after comparison with
English, French and German goods of
the same kind. For these reasons in
particular ii behooves the United States
To make an exhibit at the Paris exhibit
commensurate with the growing inn
portance and widening area of Ameri-
can trade.

4 Asst Saturday a remarkable COM
edy involving the county attor-
ney's office and the police depart
ment contributed to the gaiety of the
gambling in Butte. For the county
authorities II constable was sent out to
serve papers on some of the gamblers.
This constable promptly became in
volved in knock-down and gun-play
performance. with the result that a sur
geon had to be called in
The next scene, laid at police head
quarters, discovers the constable in Jail
he was arrested for breach of the
peace or for assault or for profanity in
public or on some similar charge, and
he landed at the lookup. The asser-
ton made by several people is that the
constable was drunk. but his side of the
case denies that charge, although there
Is mild admission that he showed

1t usually happened that when the men
on our side ordered a march al. 3 o'clock
in the morning they never made more
than half the distance between the two
armies Lee had ordered an advance

Il fail TO find in the books any such
masterful generalship as this hero
showed, holding that slim. gray line,
half-starved, with no prospect of add-
tions, and fighting when the army was
too hungry to stand and when the rifles
were only useful as clubs. His courage
was sublime. He was as great as Gus
favus Adolphus or Napoleon, or We'll
llngton or Won Moltke. His cause was
not the lost cause so much as is sus-
pected. All that was good in his cause
has been grated into our laws and our
constitution" Dr. Andrews blamed
General Burnside for throwing away
the battle at Fredericksburg, and Gen
eral Pope for losing ground at the first
try for Richmond.
The newspaper reports of these pas
sages of the lecture caused a great stir
among the veterans and more than one
Grand Army post has passed severe
and bitter criticisms on Andrews. But

and observer may be better qualified to

pants-whos were and are intense patri-
OTIS rather, than cold-blooded historians.

Amusing Experience of a Doctor in At.
Ianta, Ga.
Down in Atlanta. Ca, wedding was
disturbed in rather a rude manner
few days ago. While the bride and
groom were repeating the nuptial vows
a doctor, accompanied by policeman,
entered the room and locked both doors.
The bridal couple were of the Ethiopian
race and the parson and guests were
also colored. The officer told them in
a loud voice that he would have to stop
the wedding until they had all been
vaccinated After a great squabble and
many VOWS of recrimination the en-
tire party, groom, parson and wedding
guests, were successfully treated with
hypodermic injections of the brown
fluid which renders the subject immune
from smallpox. When the doctor asked
the bride if he should insert the scar
maker In her arm the groom raised
most vigorous objections. The bride
wanted 1t done in another place, and
asked the doctor to call around at
night, but the physician insisted that
1t must be done at once. Then the
groom grew. obstreperous and there was
considerable excitement during the or
deal to which the bride was subjected,
and the newly made husband had to be
held while her striped stocking was be-
ing withdrawn and the operation of
Naccinat ton performed just above her
No. 10 foot.
The cause of this wholesale vaccina-
ton is a smallpox scare in the Southern
city. Doctors, accompanied by police
men, are making house to house can
yass and vaccinating all whom they
come across. An amusing incident oc-
CURED in one of the big wholesale dry
goods houses on Whitehall street. The
shopgirls, of whom large number are
employed in the house, were on the
watch, and when the cry was made that
1.-The Philstines are upon us" there was
the biggest stampede ever witnessed in
that dry goods store. Girls who had
been gazing in the faces of customers
with looks of proud and naughty de-
fiance during the earlier morning hours
fled from their posts with wild yells
of fear, and it took every cash boy in
the house, together with the porters,
to corral them. Some hid in the cloak
rooms, others secreted themselves in
the toilet rooms, some crouched down
behind counters in dusky hooks seldom
frequented, save by rats, which they
were willing to brave rather than face
the vaccinating brigade. There were
tears and pleadings that were heart
rending in their pathos, there were ex-
carnations of defiance and disgust,
there were threats and perSuasions, but
in spite of all the work went on until
the delicate form of every shopgirl in
that establishment was doSed with the
virus.

Andrews Catching 1t Again.

Il LTHOUGH one whole generation
lacking few months has
l passed since the close of the civil
war, the events of the great struggle
are still so recent and the characters
that figured in it 50 fresh and vivid in
memory that large portion OF the
public cannot tolerate dispassionate
criticism of its historical features. The
South accuses the North of using his
tory text books in the schools in which
the war of the rebellion is treated from
a prejudiced and untruthful standpoint
The North brings a like charge against
the South. Nor can anybody from
either section venture opinions eulogis-
tic Of the other side in any respect
without bringing denunciation down
upon his head.

She Was No Fool.

A little girl of 4, playing at needlework
in the company of an old lady who was
almost a stranger to her, suddenly said:
"Oh, Mrs. NJ, l want the scissors,
please
To which the lady replied doubtfully:
Does your mamma let you have the
scissors, my dear?'
"Oh. yes. she always does"
eff you are sure of that" replied the
old lady looking seriously through her
spectacles. YOU can have them. But,
mind you don't cut yourself"
Whereupon the little one. looking up
gravely replied: DO you think I'm a
fool?"
The surprise of the old lady may be
imagined-it cannot be described.
