A GREAT FISH EXPOSITION.
The Centennial Celebration
Commission of Ohio Plans
a Novel Building.
FISH WITHIN A FISH.
Interesting Story Comes to Light BY
Renewal of Patent for Such Build
ings Issued to Lafferty.

First Building of This Recorded in History
tho Celebrated Trojan Horse United
States Patent Office Evidently Thought
Lafferty Was Not Infringing on Patent
Rights of Ancient Greeks.
The great Elephant Hotel, for years
the greatest of the many attractions
of COney Island, is to be eclipsed in
Ohio. The Centennial Celebration
Commission of that State has planned
to erect a building for the fisheries ex-
hibit at the Centennial in the form of a
gigantic black bass. In size, method
of construction, appearance and every
other way it will be greatly superior
to the famous elephant.
An interesting fact has come to light
since the announcement of the building
of this novel structure in the applica-
ton for renewal of patents issued
to James V. Lafferty, of Anderson, Ind,
by his widow, Mary C. Lafferty.
Lafferty erected several of. the build
ings at the Centennial EXpC4 ton held
at Philadelphia in 1876. Shortly af-
terward he was employed to construct
the Elephant Hotel at Coney Island,
which was the greatest marvel of that
resort until it was destroyed by fire a
few years ago. 1t was 175 feet high,
measuring from the ground to the top
of the band stand, 22O feet long and 90
feet wide, with a capacity of 1000 peo-
pie.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1899-06-02

The Elephant was so successful
financially and otherwise, that com
panies were at once formed in Chicago,
Los Angeles and other cities to con-
struct similar buildings, and in order
to protect his interests at Coney Is
land Lafferty took out a patent on the
construction of buildings in the form Of
animals, birds and fish. The patent
was granted on the understanding that
but one similar structure had ever been
erected. Up to the present time there
has been no other, except an elephant,
on a smaller scale, built by Lafferty at
Atlantic City.
The one exception was the historic
Horse, of Troy. the proof of whose ex-
istence is vouched for by Homer, Vir-
gil and others. The Trojan wars, the
greatest in the history of Greece, last
ed some ten years, ending about 1854
B. c. Paris. son of King Priam, of
that city, fell in love with the wife
of Menelaus of Sparta, the beautiful
Helen, and captured her, taking her to
his walled city.
He was the same Paris who, accord
ing to legends, bestowed the golden
apple upon the Queen of Beauty, in the
Judgment of Paris. The entire Greek
nation was incensed and sought re-
venge. Nine years were spent in
planning to take the city, and then an
army of 100000 warriors set sail with
1,1S6 ships for Troy. Headed by Aga
memmon and Achilles they held a siege
for nine years.
A dissension among the leaders al
most brought about a catastrophe,
which was averted by the strategy Of
Ulysses. He induced the entire army
to set SAIL ostensibly for home, but
really for a nearby island, behind
which they hid from the Trojans
They left behind a monstrous wooden
horse, in which one hundred warriors
were concealed

OF all spots in Europe in which the

The Hague is the most in consonance

The very air anywhere in Holland. and
particularly in The Hague, breathes

Netherlands look peaceful, but it is
peace that is well won-a peace that

Love with women is like poker with
a mamie does most of his winning
while learning it,
Women know more about love than
they do about Loving; men know more
about loving than Jhey do about love
Married men are rare whose pride is
so strong that they can't bear to think
they might have been refused when
they proposed.
Every other woIla you meet has
either a missionary scheme that she is
interested in or else a kitten that she
wants you to take care of.
