A CENT OF '27-Inquirer, City. There
is no demand for a United States cent
of 1897, consequently it commands no

BUDDHA-S., City. The word Buddha
means "the enlightened one''-he who
has universal knowledge, clairvoyant ON
niscience. In some statues Of Buddha
this knowledge is symbolized by raps OF
light surrounding emanating from the
head of Buddha. In others the rays are
or center of the forehead. The jewel
in the center of the forehead of statues
of Buddha, therefore, symbolic MS un-
iversal knowledge or clairvoyant omnl-
science.

Cal. The law of casino says: Should
player build up a card to certain de-

build it higher, he, the first player, must
not alter his build, but must take it with

"eights." He must take that with a card

EXPOSITION APPROPRIATIONS.

Y BILL has been introduced into the House of
I \ Representatives by General Bingham of
Pennsylvania to authorize the holding of a
national exposition of American products and
features especially suitable for export in Philadelphia
in 1899. The bill carries with it appropriation OF
$35oooo and in addition thereto Congress will be ex-
pected to provide for governmental exhibit
Philadelphia will obtain the appropriation she asks.
committee of distinguished citizens have been to
Washington to back up the Congressional delegation
of the State in making the contest for it. 1t is
derstood that the appropriation is to be available only
when the exposition association furnishes the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury satisfactory proof that it has
secured subscriptions for the purposes of the expo
sition to amount equal to that of the appro-
prated This of course will be readily accomplished
The prospects of the Philadelphia enterprise are
therefore bright and promising.
This matter is of interest to us because we also have
an exposition enterprise hand. Our delegation in
Congress will give help to the Philadelphia project
and the Pennsylvanians should be notified that they
will be expected to the compliment when the
Californian bill is before the House Reciprocity is
as excellent in home business as in foreign affairs
and this is good opportunity to put into practice
for the mutual benefit of the East and West
The expedency OF national appropriations for ex-
positions of interstate importance is longer ques
toned. Such appropriations have been repeatedly
made since the Centennial at Philadelphia that they
are now looked upon as matters OF course. and
whenever the people of any particular locality have
undertaken exposition of genuine magnitude Con
gress has willingly voted aid and assistance
The proposed exposition to be held in California
in commemoraton of the admission of the State is
to be of exceptional greatness and Importance
1t is to represent not State but the whole OF that
imperial region Familiarity known as the Golden West
and will be in comprehensveness and value superior
to any exposition ever held in the Union with the
single exception of the marvel at Chicago during the
Columbian year.
The appropriation asked for by the Pennsylvanians
includes 100000 to be employed in the erection OIL
buildings and $4,000 to be used in collecting in
foreign markets various exhibits showing how mer-
| chandse should be packed for sale abroad. Similar
sums for similar purposes would be of material aid
in promoting the proposed exposition here, and since
the Philadelphia bill will afford recent precedent for
granting aid for such purposes, it would seem clear
that it will be our own fault if we do not obtain it

RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE


Each succeeding day brings some addi-

exactly the right man in the right place.
The patience, courage, vigilance and tire

guarding American lives and American
interests in Havana in the face of condi-

perilous and complex distinguish him as
a fearless citizen worthy of our Hottest

THE AMERICAN SAILOR,

An Estimate as Given by Lieutenant Hob
son in His Speech at New York on
Thursday Night.
"Recently, my friends, I have had oc-
casion to see JaCky where his endurance,
his bravery, and his loyalty were sorely
tried. (Cheers). j feel that certain fea-
lures of the receLt incident In which Jack
played his part. and played 1t well, should
be referred to in public manner. i feel
it is my duty to refer to II here. 1t is
known to everybody that when the call
was made for volunteers to go in on the
Merrimac, men fell over one another in
their haste to be accepted. On the New
York alone l40 men volunteered before the
order could be passed that no more vol
unteers were needed. When a few out of
this number had been assigned to sta
tions on the Merrimac, all, in obedience
to orders, lay fiat on their faces. Two
were stationed by the anchor gear, Others
by the torpedoes arranged along the side,
two in the engine room. 1t was agreed
by each one that he should not even
look over his shoulder, no matter what
happened to the ship, to any of his COM
panions or to himself. If wounded he
should place himself in a sitting or a
kneelng posture, or whatever posture
was necessary, so that when the time for
his duty came he could do 1t to the best
advantage. And so they lay. each man 1T
his post and under what difficulties you
may understand when tell you that out
of the seven torpedoes placed along the
side, FIVE had been shot away by the en-
emy's fire before the order was given for
the Merrimac's crew to gather at the
rendezvous on the quarter deck. Projec-
tiles were coming more as a continuous
stream than as separate shots. But,
through the whole storm, JaclSy lay there
ready to do his duty as he had been in
structed to do it. There was not only the
plunging fire from the forts on both sides,
but "a terrific horizontal fire from the fleet
In the harbor, and IL seemed as IL the
next projectile would wipe Sll the sailors
out of life at once. If ever a feeling of
each man for himself feeling of get
away from this get out of this any
way. anyhow was to be justified it was
justified then. Not man so much as
turned his head"
"Three cheers for Jacky!" howled
house, and Hobson led them, throwing
back his head and waving his hand as he
cheered.
"Then, later, when we were on the cat
amaran and the encmys picket boats
came crawling UP out of the darkness
with their Lanterns, the impulse was just
as strong to slip off the raft and swim
for the shore or for the entrance of the
harbor. The simple order was given, 'No
man move until further orders And not
a man moved or stirred for nearly an
hour.

consideration of what the republics
best interests demand. Our policy
should be to gain all we can Of naval
and commercial advantage, while bur-
dening ourselves with as little as possi-
bic of political and governing RESPONSE
bility in another hemisphere than our
own"
The republics best interests" It
should. however, be said, include moral
as well as material considerations, and
especially should this be borne in mind
when Providence has apparently put
1t In our power to act as the arbiter
Of the islanders political destinies. II
we find on the more important of the
Philippine islands the rudiments of
successful independence 1t will be diff
cult to convince American moral sentl-
ment that we would be justified in de-
cl:uiDg, even at some Inconvenience
and cost, TO try tc give these poor VIC
tins Of Spanish Intolerance an upward
lift. The fact tnat they are in another
hemisphere than our own may weigh
In the political aspect of the situation
but 1t can have no possible bearing
upon the problems moral significance.
One thing is sure: The misrue of
Spain has ended in the Philippines for
ever.
