Saws DR.. Buchanan, the Eminent
Edinburgh Divine.

Philadelphia, Oct 3.-One of the
most interested visitors to the Nation
al Export exposition this week was the
eminent divine, DIR. Robert Buchanan. OF
Edinburgh, Scotland, who was on his
way to the Pan Presbyterian council at
Washington. DR.. Buchanan is a globe
trotter as well as very learned minis
ter, and he knows great trade exposi-
ton when he sees 1t. OF the National
Export exposition he said: 81 am more
than pleased by what have seen to-
day OF course we abroad know what
a great nation the United States is. but
those of us who are making our first
trip to this country were scarcely pre-
pared for what has been our good for
tune to see.
This exposition is truly wonderful
presentation of what can he and is
done by American manufacturers. 1t
is a beautiful show, and am happy
that it WAS included in our itinerary.
Every one of us IS enthusiastic over
what we have seen. Philadelphia has

A TRANsPuANTED VILLAGE.
Some Interesting Facts About the Chinese
at the National Export Exposition.


at the National Export Exposition.
Philadelphia, Oct. ga Chinaman in
America is an interesting personality
wherever YOU find him and however
accustomed he has become to the ways
of the country. A Chinaman trans
ported in few days from the byways
OF Canton and Fow Chow to the full
glare of an American city is still moro
curious. There are 500 such China
men now wandering about the aisies
and exhibits of the National Export
exposition. They have not yet been
walled up within the enclosure of their
artificial village. In the meantime the
denizens of this section of the eXposi-
ton Esplanade mingle with the Curl
Gus crowds through the exhibition
buildings the most interested and in
teresting features of the exhibition
throng. The Chinese have come di-
rectiy from their Oriental home, and
have had no opportunity to lose the
distinctiveness of their nationality
and domestic habits and occupations.
Ihey are constructing Chinese quar-
ter with that infinite patience and
fidelity to detail characteristic of the
race, after the real Chinese fashion,
and deport themselves just as they did
few weeks ago when they were in
habitants of the Flowery Kingdom.
The managers of the Chinese village
have had no end of trouble with the
custom house authorities, but they
have finally settled with the officials
of the treasury department.
The village, which is the greatest
concession on the Esplanade. and in
some respects the most interesting
consists of winding street, upon
which Chinese shops, n joss house
Chinese restaurants, Chinese private
houses and Il Chinese theater open to
the public. The village covers an area
of nearly 10000 square feet. AS the
buildings are numerous and extensive
the work of preparing them for ex-
hibition has taken a CORRESPONDENCE
long time. but the manager, Yam Phon
Lee, has arranged for an opening OF
his village on Saturday. In the mean
time the villagers are busy building
the roadwaNs. putting up bamboo mat
ing Win :l.cir & .!lt fantastic designs
and placing the exhibits i'll their propel
places. The solemn patience and the
attention to the very small things in
the decoration of their artificial homes
and public places could only be found
In the work of Celestials who have not
been contaminated with the more care
less habits of the west. OF the 400
people at the village nearly all are men
or boys, ranging in age from Is to 80
years. few of them are students
from educational institutions of Can
Ton, but most of them are from the
suburban and country districts which
surround that city. These Chinese
from the country are able bodied and
Intelligent looking men, but they are
entirely unfamiliar with the people
and the habits of other nations. They
are expert In certain Chinese artifices,
but know next to nothing of the arts
and sciences and are unaffdctedlv
amazed at tho American way of doing
things.

RAILROAD BUILT FOR CHILDREN
Its Train Hauled by Six Hundred Pound
Locomotive at the Export Exposition.


Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-The miniature
railway at the Export exposition, which

railway train in the world. 1t uses
coal for fuel, consists of ten passenger
coaches, with capacity of two people
for each coach. The engine which

600 pounds, as compared with the
100000 pounds of an ordinary full
grade locomotive. 1t is a faithful re-
production of the parts and workings
of full sized locomotive. 1t is a
standard eight wheel American type.

inches wide and SO inches from the rail
to the top of the smoke stack. The
cylinders are two inches in diameter
only. The passenger cars are five feet
long and % inches wide. The train
runs at speed of ten miles an hour.
The railway extends a considerable
distance around the Main building.
and is eventually. to be extended en-
tirely around the exposition grounds.
The children have no end of fun on
this little railway, and their mothers
and nurses are able to extract as much
enjoyment out of it as are the children
themselves.

be the most expensive of all the enter
tainments to be seen upon the Export
exposition's broad thoroughfare. In
producing the astonishing effect to be
seen In the fairyland the use Of 5000
multi-colored electric lights in various
combinations Is required. Among the

manding appearance, with the broad

pleasing to the ear. His delivery Is
captivating and the incidents be
relates are true to nature. He tells
a good stony IN a charming manner,
and his lecture gives better idea OF
life in the South during bellum days
than could be gained by reading
volu mes of history of that period.
