AN AVENUE OF AMUSEMENT.
Georgia Darkies, Trained Beasts. Educated
Horse, Chiquita and Other Attractions
on the Exposition Esplanade.

Philadelphia, Oct. 31.-Various esti.
mates have been made as To the cost of
seeing the amusement attractions thar
line the National Export exposition
esplanade. and it is found that to make
the rounds OF all the pleasure resorts
one is required to part with compara.
lively little money, and that. for tbe
amount of outlay, more that is really
entertaining or instructive. or hoth
is afforded than it would be nossibIe
to find at any other place under the
protecting folds of the Stars and
Stripes. Few visitors, however. at
tempt to go into all of the esplanade
amusement houses in a single dav.
Those who have essayed the feat de-
clare that on leaving the expositiou
they are as tired as after a hard davis
work in the garden.
One of the first of the ohiects of in
terest to greet the eye on entering the
esplanade is The Old Plantation.
where darkies from "'way down
south" live in a log cabin such as
slaves occupied 'befo' de wa" Here
they pursue the habits of the Georgia
colored family. While gray haired old
Ebe and the plump nanny" are in
dulging in real old plantation talk or
humping the banjo as the bows and
girls @nce and the pickanninies kick
their heels and toss their heads in
ecstacy, de pa'son" drops in and hi
larlty gives Way to a season of solemn
ity.
Adown the upper side of the broad
midway are the Palace of Mystery
the chamber in which Lunette floats
through space; Edison's Electric Fairy
Palace, Glass Works, Lubin's Cineo-
graph, the Chinese Village, etc. The
Chinese were brought direct from their
native country to the exposition. The
enclosure devoted to this people COM
prises street, along the sides of
which are stores, theater and the
homes of the villagers, where they live
precisely as they did in China three
months ago. A study of their home
customs is thus afforded on American
soil. Not the least interesting among
the chinese are pair of cute tots.
barely old enough to toddle about.
Along the lower side of the espla-
made are Hagenback's trained beasts
from the forests, Chiquita, the small
est woman in the world; Jim Key. a
horse that knows something about
reading, writing and arithmetic; the
Cairo Theater, where beautiful girls
dance the dances in which women of
the orient are proficient; an Oriental
Drawing Room, where the visitors NAV
sip cup of coffee while he chats with
Assyrian girls, and a host of features
that give to the esplanade the same
attractions that made the midway of

Why She ENJOYED 1t.

On Sunday, as a certain Scottish min
lister was returning homewards, he was
accosted by an old woman, who said:
"Oh, sir, well do like the day when
you preach"
The minister was aware that he was
not very popular and answered:
'My good woman, am glad to hear
it. There are too few like you. And
why do you like it when l preachT
"Oh. SIR" she replied, "when you

RICHNESS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Extension of Foreign Trade Assured Under
American Enterprise


Philadelphia, Oct. 31.-A great deal
of information of value respecting for
eign countries was impaired through
the medium of the International Com
mercial Congress at the National Ex-
port exposition. Graphic word pictures
of nations great and small were paint
ed by men direct from countries be-
yond the seas, and not little was said
about the Philippines. Interesting in
this line was the statement of John
Barrett, United States minister to
Siam, who during the course of
speech said:
"Of the Philippines l can say that,
after travelling extensively through
them, they are the richest country, in
proportion to area, in all Asia. Under
American enterprise this foreign trade
of $32 200, 900 should be extended in
ten years to $100,0 900 or $3.50, 900 O00
All foreign houses doing business in
Manila are preparing to increase their
capital and enlarge operations. With
great staple products of hemp, sugar,
tobacco, copra, rice, together with cof-
fee, spices, fruits, grains and valuable
woods, as we'll as mineral resources
of considerable value developed to
their present extent under the depress-
ing and retarding conditions of former
years, it is difficult to state what limit
can be placed on their development
with American capital and industry.
The people, moreover, take kindly to
foreign products, and will buy in in
creased quantity and value as they are
given greater opportunity to sell their
own products. Railway construction
alone in the Philippines is needed,
which would involve the safe invest
ment of s5O,OOO,OOO At least 1900
miles should be built within the next
ten years."

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines.
From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard. Ms.
1t may be question whether the ed
itor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market. yet as preventative OF suffer
ing we feel 1t a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found 1t reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician Is await
ed. We do not believe in depending inn
plicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that il a bottle of Cham
berlain's Diarrhoea Remedy We're kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
ton of an attack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many cases the
presence of a physician would not be
required. AT least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by druggists.
