INDIANA AT PARIS.
No Steps Yet Taken Toward Making
a Display at the Exposition.

No steps have been taken as yet by the
committee appointed by President Fortune,
of the State Board of Commerce, for the
purpose of arranging for an Indiana exhibit
at the Paris exposition in 1900 L. b. Mar
tindale of this city. is chairman of the COM
mittee Mr.. Martindale said yesterday that
there is no occasion for q meeting soon. The
committee win appeal to the Legislature
when it meets next January for an appro-
priation of about 81, 900 to provide the means
of having the State creditably represented.
Mr. Martindale thinks that very credita-
Bile showing as to the States agricultural
and mining and other natural resources
could be made with the nominal sum men
toned, as it would encourage manufacture
ers and other citizens to arrange for dis
plays. The time is too short to attempt
anything on a very grand scale.
What is done in Indiana and other States
must depend very largely on what Congress
does. Two years ago Moses p. Handy was
appointed a commissioner to Paris to- ar
range for the governments display. Mr.
Handy succeeded in securing twice as much
space as had been originally allotted to this
country so that each State will have twice
the opportunity at first hoped for. The ex-
position management does not deal with
subsections of nation. but with the nation
direct. There is a bill pending in Congress
on this subject. Mr. AIartindale has not
yet acquainted himself with its provisions,
DuL understands CnaL IL Calls Tor IeQeral
appropriation of about 100000 and the en-
ployment of board of five commissioners,
one of whom would have charge of agri-
cultural displays, another of manufacturing
interests, third of mines and mining, ETC.
Some action must be taken by Congress be-
fore the States can make much Roadway.
Meantime little can be done here until the
Legislature has taken some action.
Governor Mount has been invited to at
tend the corn show at Chicago, Feb. TO-
which is preliminary TO preparing for the
Paris exposition Representatives of the
different Middle States will make displays
of corn and corn products. Governor
Mount has invited Mr.. Martindale to go to
the Chicago show as the chairman of the
State Board Of Commences committee. AT
that meeting Mr.. Martindale expects to get
some information with regard to the ex-
position that may be of interest and value.

Postal authorities guard with jealous care
everything that has to do with the rapid
and safe collection and delivery of mail.
1t was the fact that they are always on the
alert that accounted for the presence of
Superintendent of Carriers Deery, Night
Superintendent Parrish and mail carrier
in the Stevenson building yesterday after
noon for a couple of hours. The carrier
found in making his rounds that the chute
which carries mail into the big box in the
corridor Of the building from the eleven
stories above had become clogged. He at
once telephoned to the postoffice, and
Messrs. Deery and Parrish FASTENED to the
building. Up near the ceiling a fringe of let
ters could be seen wedged into the chute
through the glass front. Excited employees
of the building were trying to plan some
way of getting them dislodged so that they
would slide down INTO the big bronze box
below. For two hours various devices were
tried. A long strip of wood was thrust UP
from below, but only wedged the letters in
tighter. Meantime hundreds of tenants in
the building continued dropping letters in
the chute from the upper floors. After a
time employees were stationed at the chute
TO prevent additional mail being put in.
Unable to disodge the letters with wires
and other implements. as a last resort it
was decided to cut the glass front. Even
then the letters had to be pulled forcibly
Some of them were torn and badly mu-
tilated. Such were returned to those whose
return cards indicated the senders So
much time was consumed that the postal
authorities grew impatient. Mr.. Deery
said that a great deal of trouble is had in
some of the big buildings with those
chutes. Careless office boys and stenog-
raphers hastily thrust in a big bunch a
letters. not stopping to place them in one
at a time. The result is that they get
lodged in cornelwise, stopping those that
are put in from other floors, and finally stop
the entire chute. About a bushel of letters
were finally taken out yesterday Some of
them bore special delivery stamps. and
ought to have gone out on trains that We're
missed Not long ago. Mr.. Deery said the
postoff1ce was compelled to take out two
whole sections OF chute from the Lemcke
building and carry it to the postoffice Even
then some of the letters had to be torn be-
fore they could be. rescued. Mr.. Deery is
required to report all such eases, and would
not be surprised to receive an order TO
abolish chutes with which trouble is had.
There is some wonder why glass fronts are
not put in in short sections with detach-
able castings, so that the trouble could he
remedied in shorter time.

Inquiry of railway officials in the trans

year added largely to their freight equip
ment by purchase of new cars and the re-
building Of older cars, and have considerably
increased their power. They are in shape to
do big business on an economical scale.
The introduction of the larger locomotives
is a very effective agency in reducing the
cost of moving freights, the saving being not
only in the number of train crews required.
but In the consumption of fuel. Road beds

CHICAGO, Sept 6.-An increase in the visible

cember corn left off sc higher. May oats are

Religious Feeling in the Army.

1t is a common impression that the condi-
tons or army life are Invariably such as
TO leave little or no room for the exercise
or development of religious feeling The
tendency of such life is believed to be- in
fact, strongly toward the lowering of moral
standards. 1t is gratifying to know that
this does not hold true OF life in our Ameri-
can armies. 1t is the testimony of Gen. o.
y. Howard. who has been engaged in re-
nglous work in our camps at Chickamauga
Tampa and elsewhere, that the soldiers are
remarkably receptive to spiritual influences.
The meetings held by himself, Major Whit
tie and other evangelists were thronged by
eager listeners. strong side light is
thrown on the religious character of our
military and naval leaders by a sentence
