The Legislature of Minnesota made

current year the attention of Gov.
Clough was brought to the fact that
Minnesota was likely to be the only
state west of the Mississippi river
which would not be represented in this
Exposition, and he proptly appointed
a commission of representative citizens
to devise ways and means and to pre-
pare exhibits. This commission has
succeeded in raising nearly $4,000
with which the building here shown
will be erected, and exhibits made in
the several departments of the Expo
sition. Minnesota will be represented
in the agricultural building with an
horticultural display, in the Mines and

FORTUNE IN PEARLS.
How Sam Harris. the Pearl king.
Revolutionized the Trade in
These Gems.

In the jewelry trade. Samuel Harris,
an American, is known as the pearl
king. Although only 80 years old, he
has built up an immense business in the
pearl and pearl shell traffic, and his rep
utation extends even to Europe. He is
known in Tahiti and in the jewel mar
kets of America and Europe for his fair
dealing, his enterprise and his RELIABLE
ity, and his trademark, 'H," sur
rounded by diamond, is a guarantee
of excellence. 1t is in the Society
islands that most of his pearls are gath
cred, and he began there as a mere
boy.
1t took years for him to induce the
natives to trade fairly with him and to
go extensively into the business OF pearl
gathering. He was a natural judge of
pearls, and his unerring Judgment in
valuing shells at last earned for him the
respect of the natives. His dealings
with them was so fair that he finally
won their entire confidence. Always an
admirer Of pearls from an aesthetic and
romantic standpoint, he first began to
look at them in the Ii ght of commerce
when he visited the Society islands and
found the gems in such common use.
Returning to California, he fitted out a
ship with cargo of knives, clothing,
fish hooks, ETC., costing $4,000, and bar
tered these for $4,000 worth of pearls.
Since then he has gone back on similar
trips and returned with gems to San
Francisco. The cargoes which he took
to the natives were highly priced by the
latter, and even to-day they consider
themselves we'll paid by the exchange
of pearls and pearl shells for articles Of
greater use.
Previous to four years ago the only
shells used in commerce for the manu-
facture of ornaments, ETC., were of very
inferior quality. Harris has changed
all this, and now four excellent grades
are exported by him. He buys them in
bulk, and the prices range from 5000 to
$1,000 ton. He does his own buying,
and can tell almost at a glance the value
If ton of shells lying on the beach.
These shells he ships by the thousand
tons each year all over the world.
He has revolutionized the pearl trade
Of America. Formerly we only had an
inferior article of pearl, but since Har
ris took hold Of the business some of the
finest in the world now come to us from
the Pacific isles. Not long ago he
bought from a native fisher a black
pearl which weighed over six carats. 1t
was sold in London for $75O.-Chicago

The State Will Make a Good Showing ut

80: 80 80 Exposition. -" s'

We illustrate with this the Minneso-
ia Building at the rans-Mississippi g.
International Exposition, which began
at Omaha, June 1st, and continues until
December 1st. The building is one of
the groop of state buildings. occupying
district on an elevation of ground,
overlooking the valley of Missouri. In
this groop of state buildings is includ-
ed New York, Kansas, Missouri, Mon
tana. Illinois, Nebraska, Colorado and
some other of the western states. The
Minnesota building differs materially
from all these structures and is likely
to prove one of the most unique and
attractive buildings on the ground.
The building has a total length of Is
feet and a width of ~ feet, with ver-
andah 10 feet wide all around it, MAX
ing the greatest length nearly 100 feet
and the greatest width &C feet The
building is not designed for exhibition
purposes, but is to be used as rendez-
vous' for the Minnesota visitors to the
Exposition. On the first floor there is
a spacious hallway 42x35 feet. In one
end is located the ladies' parlor, which
is 3Ox2O feet and which will be lastly
decorated and furnished daintily. It
will be a favorite resting place for the
Minnesota ladies who visit the EXPOSE
ton. The corresponding room at the
other end of the building is to be
finished in the style of a lum Der camp,
its walls hung with skins and decorat-
ed with trophies of the chase. A wide
stairway leads to the second floor
where there are two corresponding
rooms. The second floor is surrounded
also by a verandah amply shaded by
the overhanging. roof of the main
buildings.

ing is one of the best on the ground.

tural building and it is surrounded on
every side by floral exhibits. The

EXPENSES OF TOURISTS.
The Total Estimated at S7GO,OOO,OOU
u Year-Nice Made Rich
by Foreigners.

The amount OF money expended by
tourists in Europe has, it official records
abroad are to be accepted as authentic,
increased enormously of late years.
There has been recently filed with the
Swiss minister of finance and customs
At Berne detailed statement Of hotel
receipts in that country, from which ii
appears that the gross receipts of Swiss
hotels rose from 52,S00,0O0 francs in
1880 to ia, 1888 900 in 1894. The entire
annual expenses of the Swiss republic
amount in year to between sO,O00,0oO
and 9O,OOO,OOO francs (the budget for
this year is given at the latter fgure),
and it would seem, therefore, very much
as if the hotels IF Switzerland take in
in a year more than the government it.
self does. The Swiss figures are not the
only ones furnished in Europe recently
on this point. A French record shows
that every year there are 100000 for.
eigners who pass from fortnight to
whole winter on the Riviera. Every
person is supposed to expend on an
average 1000 francs, or 5000, in the
country. In other words, the foreign
visitors spend in the country every win
ter the sum of $54,o0O,OOO. The English
are put down as contributing ore-third
of this amount; the French themselves
contribute another third; Germans,
Belgians, Dutch, Russians and Ameri.
cans contribute the remainder. From
being poor country when it was an.
neNed to France, in 1860, Nice has be-
come one of the richest departments OF
the republic.
Some figures recently compiled of the
revenues of hotels from tourists in
Paris show the average number of for
eign visitors to be 10000. 1t is custom
airy to estimate at tan francs, or two dol
lars, day the hotel bills of strangers
in Paris. Estimating at two dollars
Gay each the hotel bills OF 10000 tour
lists, and at about as much more their
other OUTLAWS, it is to be seen that tour
lists in Paris can be put down for an ex-
penditure of nearly quarter of mil
lion dollars day. ....
The total sum expended by tourists
in Europe in a year is probably not far
from $500, 100000, and very considera-

Reminder of the Hincklcy Fire.

The remains of another victim of the
Hlnckley fire were discovered a mile
west of Sandstone by boy while
searching for his COWS. The bones
were well preserved and by their pc
sition showed that the victim sought
to save himself by seeking shelter in
the lee of small hill. Near the skel-
eton were found watch and chain
and the remains of a rifle. These
were easily identified by Mrs. John
Nelson, who recognized them as the
property of her husband, who it was
known had persisted in the fire on that
Hateful day somewhere between town
and the w. P. & D. railroad, four miles
west. His was the last case unac-
counted for, and now the fate OF every

Guard Fund Exhausted.

Adjt. Gen. Muehlberg, who has been
considering the situation carefully,
has come to the conclusion that the
state of Minnesota is absolutely with
out a national guard fund. The ex-
penses of equipping and caring for the
three regiments of volunteers before
they were mustered into the volunteer
army depleted the national guard fund
and made necessary demands on the
general state fund. In time the state
will be REIN bursed by the national
government, but in the meantime it's
military fund is nonresident. 1t is
said that the state will not be repaid
until congressional action is taken.
The state will now have to get along
without a national guard, or else bor-
row money pending the next session
of the legislature.
