suspended in midair in this way. Quite
the contrary, however. Experience
shows that it is much more comfort
nble than being squeezed and smoth-
cred in the arms of his mistress or he1
maid, no matter how carefully they try
to move him about
Moreover, since the harness is no i'm
pediment to the dog moving about on
his feet, q. chain can be attached to the
handle and the little animal led along
as easily as if he had no harness on at
all.
All sorts of dogs that are small
enough for pets are carried in this
fashion. The new style is very popular
among all the young women who own
dogs, but the style is not limited to the
younger members OF the smart set.
The matron and the dowager also fol-
low it with scrupulous care.
For the winter season the carrying
harness and the blanket are combined.
AS rule, the. blanket is of corduroy,
and keeps the shivering pet as warm as
his mistress in her furs. In color, the
blanket is generally red, and it is a
co1nical sight to see this red blanketel
and behandled creature trailing along
at the side of his mistress Us she walks
down the street, or hanging Imply
from the blanket harness as it depends
from the lady's hand.
Prices of the carrying harness and
blanket vary considerably, ranging
from five to forty dollars each. Some
times the leather and the blanket are
embroidered with silver, and occasion
ally gold ornamentation glitters on the
combination. Combine the gold col
lar set with diamonds, and the gold and
silver ornanented carrying harness and
blanket, and the result makes the pam
pered dog of fashion almost as conspic-
nous an object as his pretty and richly
dressed mistress.
Upon stormy days, when his mistress
desires to give the small aristocrat an
airing she can carry him in a newly
invented satchel which answers the
purpose admirably. 1t is rounded in
form, opens at one side, and at one end
the leather is upon hinges and can be
let entirely down or partially so, as may
be desired.
When this is done, a net work of
leather or sometimes silver wire is re-
vealed, permitting the occupant of the
queer looking satchel to breathe all the
fresh air it desires.-N. Y. Herald.

CHICAGO RESPONDS.
The Mayors Appeal Brought Out
$4,000 in Cash.

Chicago, Jan 26-At 9 o'clock this
morning the government thermometer
showed a temperature of Is degrees be-
low zero. This is three degrees warmer
that at the same time yesterday, but
there was little comfort derived from
that fact, it being. one degree colder
that at a. m.
The signal service today reports the
cold area extending all over the west
and northwest and no prospect of a ma
terial let up in the intensity of the cold
for at least "a hours. All trains today
were more or less delayed by snow
drifts and inability to make steam. A
general complaint was raised by the
people living in the suburbs. AT many
of the stations no shelter is afforded the
passengers and many cases of frost
bites have occurred.
The proclamation issued by Mayor
Swift has met with a hearty response.
Besides over $4,000 in cash, hundreds of
tons of coal and almost unlimited sup
plies of provisions have been sent and
promptly distributed. Seven hundred of
the more desperate cases of restitution
have already been relieved and the
work is being carried on without ces-
alton.

ments. The medals and emblems of ex-
cellence are to be coined at the govern
ment mints, and all exhibits are to be
admitted to the country free Of duty
from foreign shores.
The organization is complete and has
been we'll done. The government is vest
ed in board of directors, so in number,
from which has been elected an execu-
tive committee of IL. This committee
has in turn elected full quota of exec
utive officers. Each of the transmissis-
sippi states and territories is represented
in the governing body by vice presi-
dent appointed by the governor of the
respective state or territory. These rep
resentatives are as follows:
Iowa, Hon. George F. Wright; South
Dakota, Hon. Thomas FL. Wells; Ne
braska, Hon. William Neville; Mis-
souri,, Hon. John Doniphan; Kansas,
Hon. G. A. Fellows; Arizona. Hon.

Prince; Oregon. Hon. b. S. Cook (;
Texas, Hon. Gus Reymershoffer.
At the head of the executive maehin-
cry of the exposition is Gurdon W. Wat
ties, who from the beginning has been
one of the most active promoters of the
enterprise. Mr. Wattles is singularly
well equipped for the important position
which he occupies. Although he has
lived in the west for only four years, he
has become prominently identified with
the financial and commercial interests
of the transmississippi region. He is
vice president of the Union National
bank of Omaha and is a representative
type of pushing western business men.
John A. Wakefield, the secretary, is
well known Omaha business man. and
Vice President Alvin Saunders is man
of wide experience. He has been gov
ernor of the state and United States
senator. The other officials are all rep
resentative men who are bound to make
| the exposition a success.

things TO be found only in the transmis-
slsslppl region are not neglected.
There will undoubtedly be a mining
camp in full blast and a display COM
pairing the old methods of mining with
those Of today. The rocker in which the
prospector panned out his few shovels
of placer dirt in the brook will be con-
trasted with the cyanide process and the
huge stump mills by which every ounce
of precious metal is Wrung from the
jealous rock
There will be Indian villages, perhaps
cowboy camp and stock round up
and maybe lum bering scene. The pos
sibilities are big, and the transmissis-
sippians may. be depended upon to i'm
prove them to the utmost Then, to add
lighter vein to the entertainment,
there will be, of course, a Midway, and
it is just possible that the exposition
will become SO thoroughly advertised in
far foreign countries that this feature
will rival that which lent such piquant
charm to the Worlds fair.
The history of the origin of the enter
| prise is a particularly interesting one,
considering that all the work of promo
ton was done in the face of such gigan-
tic odds and in spite of SO much opposi-
ton from various sources.
The project was first launched in the
form of resolutions submitted by Will
liam J. Bryan TO the transmississippi
congress at its session in 1895. Several
similar schemes had been proposed, but
had fallen through. Galveston had tried
to hold big exposition, but had failed.
St. Paul and Minneapolis had talked of
the scheme, but had abandoned it. But in
limo
easily discouraged. They decided that it
would be of no use to hold an exposition
at all unless it were to be big one, and
they aimed high. So these men-they
did not number more than a dozen-set
about to get the consent and co-opera-
ton of all the other states and terrific
ries on the sunset side of the Mississippi.
They met with encouragement every
where and became satisfied that there
was definite demand for just such an
affair.
a preliminary organization was form
ed, and the first work done was to OBJ
tain the support and aid of the federal
government. This was big job. The
men who were first sent to Washington
to make the request were told to go
: home and not ask anything from an adj
ministration which was not able to pay
its own expenses. But the men from
Omaha did not go home. They had
brought their trunks to Washington and
announced that they had come prepared
to stay until they got what they asked.
They refused to take no for an answer
and hammered away at their congress
men and the committees until an appro-
priation of $3.50, 600 was made. It took
long time to get the bill away from
! the committee, but when it was finally
got under way it went through both
houses and became a law in record
! breaking time.
The governments part in the exposi-
ton is very clearly defined by this bill.
It provides that suitable building shall
be erected in which shall be exhibits
| taken from the Smithsonian institution,
from the National museum, from it's
fisheries, arsenals and other depart

NO WATER AT BUFFALO.
Slush Ice in the Niagara River Causes
Trouble

Buffalo, N Y, Jan. 26-This city was
swept all night by the 60 mile breeze
which made the weather seem more
severe, although the cold moderated
somewhat. At 8 a. m. the thermometer
was u degrees above.
Buffalo is again experiencing a wa
ter famine. In all parts of the city the
pressure this morning was insufficient
to carry water to second story faucets
and in some sections it was impossible
to draw any water at all. The trouble
is caused by slush ice in Niagara river
which is sucked in at the inlet pier and
clogs the pumps.
