opinion of the Jobbers' Association that
trusts, when conducted on a fair basis,

fused last week to rescind their action
as noted in our last issue, though there
was sharp contention between the
two companies, Delaware Electric
Company (Mr. Hawkins charter, April

right of way had been Obtained) and
the General Electric Company and At
torney-General White as representa-
tive, put $17, 500 up last week in the
hands of the State Treasurer.
Each side, when questioned, claimed
that their side was on top in the fight,
but President Truax, stated that as far
as the Levy Court was concerned or
had authority, each company had now
the right of way and it was for them to

Congress appropriated no less than
$35O,OOO in aid of the exposition. The
state of Pennsylvania appropriated

er by general subscriptions from the
citizens of Philadelphia, of Pennsyl-
Vania, of the country at large. But it

Text of the Resolution.

The following is the full text of the
resolution adopted by the Levy Court
on Tuesday last. 1t will be found of
interest by our readers as the action
taken by the Levy Court leaves
it in force:
THAT when its charter is completed
and the amount of money required to
be paid into the State treasury has
been done, the Delaware General Elec-
trio Railway Co., a corporation of the
State of Delaware, be and the same is
hereby authorized to lay its track and
streets and highways of Kent County,
according to the terms of its charter,
subject to the following provisions:
'"That said road bed shall be located
at one extreme OF the public highway
with the said tracks within two feet of
said limit and shall not occupy more
than 10 feet of said public highway
The said road beds and tracks shall
continue on the same side of said
PuOlAC highway luIOuSuOub It's leuSUn,
except as may be heaeafter provided by
the said Levy Court.
"All turnouts shall be so constructed
as to occupy as small a position of the
driveway of said highway, as possible
and shall be so planked or otherwise
constructed as to make a smooth sur
face, suitable for use of common road
vehicles and with surface of said
highway. Where other public highways
or private rOadways are crossed by
said tracks the said tracks shall be so
constructed as to make a continuous
smooth driveway over said tracks the
full width of the said public or private
road.

tion, and it is certainly novel and in
teresting. Other expositions of the
past, from the Centennial to the Omaha
exhibition, but recently closed. gath
cred as far as possible the products of
the world for the purpose of making
a show and incidentally, perhaps. of
making money or advertising a GER
tain section, but the National Export
exposition is upon entirely different
lines, and it is bound to be successful
beyond that of any former exposition.
The exposition is the outgrowth of
the Philadelphia Commercial Museums.
the most famous bureau of industrial
information in the world. DR.. Wilson.
head of the Museums, is director gen.
eral of the exposition, and largely
through his untiring efforts has the
great project been brought to it's pres
ent enviable state. Through him the
cooperation of the United States gov
ernment. the state of Pennsylvania and
city of Philadelphia was secured.
1t is impossible to estimate the influ-
ence for good which the Museums have
exercised. but it has undoubtedly been
a powerful factor in developing the
export trade of the United States to it's
present astounding volume. Half a
dozen years ago we held but an insig-
nificant position as an exporting ma
ton. At the close of this fiscal year.
when the balance sheet for export
trade was made UP by different coun-
tries, it was found that for the first
time in history the United States was
in the lead of all nations in the world
And now, as the climax of it's SER
vices. it has inaugurated the National
Export exposition, where from all parts
OF the country the American manufac-
turer will send in his exhibit. and
from all parts of the world the poten-
tial purchaser will come to examine il.
And there will be hundreds of thou
sands Of visitors from all parts of the
United States, from Europe, from
Asia, from Africa, from the entire civ
iliZed globe. Several hundred CONNER
eial organizations, representing the
merchants of almost every nation of
the world. have sent or promised to
send delegations to Philadelphia.
In addition. it is estimated that not
less, and perhaps more, than ten
thousand buyers and other representa-
tives of foreign business associations
will be among the spectators. They
will wear their native costumes. Mer-
chants from lightest Africa, from
mystic India. from resplendent Persia.

been the scene of the greatest gather
ing of the Grand Army of the Republic
is again putting on her best to welcom,
1he hosts which are TO attend the open.
ing OF the great National Export expO-
sition next Thursday. This latter is
TO be an eleven weeks show, the most
interesting, instructive and amusing
since the famous Centennial exhibit
ton OF 1876. and Philadelphia is snak-
ing elaborate preparations for the re-
ception of many thousands of guests.
The opening day will be one long to
be remembered Decorations on a most
extensive scale will be seen every
where. The North Atlantic squadron
under command of Rear Admiral
Sampson, will take part, and dignita-
ries from all sections of the country
Will be present to witness the launch
ing of the great industrial show.
Bhe buildings in which the exposi-
ton is to be held are well worth a trim
aeposs the continent to see. Five of
them form graad group, perhaps the
finest architectural pile on the Amer
ican continent. The exhibits surpass
anything hitherto attempted, while
the amusement features will be all
that the most exacting fun lover could
desire. 1t was the original intention
OF the promoters of the great project
TO organize an exposition which would
be at once a school and show combined.
This they have succeeded in doing in
most excellent manner, and the
American man, woman or child who
does not spend at least a few days
within the grounds and buildings will
have cause for regret. Of course the
prime idea of the exposition is for the
advertisement of American trade
