night with brilliant lights, has added
new attractions, and hundreds Of novel
exhibits In the buildings become more
striking as they are studied and the
interesting facts connected with them
become more widely known.

vilion of the Main building, where the
foreign samples are displayed, may be
seen suit of clothes In which is mute

manufacturers. 1t is a wooden suit, the
cloth a brown mixture, natural color.

PLAIN CASE OF HORSE SENSE.
Some of the Things Jim Key Is Doing at
chs Txnosifinn


PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 14.-There is al
exceedingly clever actor at the Export
exposition. In every sense of the word
he is 1.-THE whole show" for, while he
goes through a one-act play, he takes
all the interesting parts himself. He
doesn't say word. and yet his acting
is SO hfelike and clever that it secures
applause every few minutes. This
clever actor is known as Beautiful
Jim Key, ana he is dark bay, we'll
groomed horse, right from Tennessee.
Some Of the things Jim does are lit
tie short of marvellous. He bows to
the audience as he comes on the
stage, and then opens school by going
to a closed box, opening it with his
mouth and taking out a brass bell,
ringing 1t around the stage. Then he
picks out any letter of the alphabet
the audience calls for. The letters are
printed on cards and are arranged on
sort Of frame. Jim does not make
q single mistake in his work, and even
pulls out the queen of spades and
other playing cards when asked for by
the audience. He added and subtract
ed and multiplied, and then wrote his
name on a blackboard.
Jim's writing is bad; there can be
no doubt about this; but it is as good
as that of some prominent people, and
legible to those who are used to read
ing famous mems chirogaphy.
The second part is where Jim shows
his wonderful ability at arithmetic
and the manner in which he makes
change with cash register is marvel
GUS. Then Jim takes a silver dollar
from the bottom of a glass bucket
without drinking drop Of the fluid
tells colors, rings up the telephone and
performs other feats which bring him
great applause.

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-The closing
ceremonies at the National Export ex-
position will occur Dec. 2. The inter-
vening two weeks will afford the last
opportunity for visit to the only ma
tional Industrial fair ever given in
Philadelphia, and the most successful
enterprise Of its kind in the history of
American expositions. All the exhib-
its will remain intact and in place until
the closing day, enabling the late Wis
itor to see the mammoth show to bet
ter advantage than it appeared in the
opening weeks. All the Esplanade at
fractions will continue their daily en-
tertainments until the last hour of the
exposition. Innes and his band will
give concerts every afternoon and
evening in the splendid, cheerful Au-
ditorium, to which admission is free
to all exposition visitors. The same
fascinating gaiety that has prevailed
since the opening of the exposition
will not abate one iota, but on the
other hand the attractiveness of the
great show must increase as one real
ICES that in a few days it will be a
thing of the past.

~If l We're sou, l wouldn't lean
against that post. You might get
hurt"
The speaker was, policeman, and
the person to whomlhis words were adj
dressed was young fellow who stood
under an iron awning with one hand
resting on an iron post which helped
to support the awning. The young
man jerked his hand away quickly.
"What's the matter with the postT'
he asked. 1T looks all right"
Eyes, 1t does" responded the police
man, ''and 1t may be all right. But It's
iron, and its surface is wet from the
rain that is falling. There are whole
lot of telephone and telegraph wires In
the vicinity. One Of them may be mix
ed up with an electric light wire some
where and may also be rubbing up
against some part of this awning. I'm

binatiOn would be one that, with the
water that is running down the post
as a conductor, would be apt to put
you out of existence. I've seen one
man killed in just that way, and l real
ly don't want to see another. That's
all. Goodby."
Then the policeman walked off down
the street, leaving the young fellow
staring first at the post and then Mt
the wires overhead. But as long as
the saunterer remained under the avn
ing he kept his hands away from the
wet Philadelphia Inquirer.
