NOTES OF THE EXPOSITION.


| Happenings Leading Toward the Sue.
cess of the Coming Great Interna
tional Show at Philadelphia.
BY all odds the esplanade will be
the most picturesque spot in all the ex-
position grounds at the City of Brother
| ly Love; the ideal viewpoint from
which to take the full beauties of
| the main buildings, with their graceful
ornamentation and fine architecture
| Viewed from the entrance of the es-
| planade the proportions, statuary and
| ornamentation will appear in their
proper relation, as they could not if the
visitor were landed Immediately in
front of the main entrance. The es-
planada is a place where the visitor
may linger long and be pleased, amused
and profited. The prospected Chinese
village which is to be one of the amuse-
ment features at the exposition will
be unique and interesting spectacle
to the ultraviolet visitors, fully equal
to the Midway" of Columbian EXPOSE
ton fame. 1t will be constructed by
native carpenters according to genuine
Chinese models, of materials brought
from the Flowery Kingdom. and will
be illustrative of the business, social
and industrial life of the typical Chi
nese community as seen in it's actually
in the CELESTIAL empire.
The contractors in charge of the work
on the big exposition buildings are
rushing it with all possible speed. AL
ready the work is two weeks ahead of
time. such has been the haste with
which 1t has been pushed forward.
Work on the esplanade at the exposi-
ton grounds is being hurried forward
with all possible despatch. From plans
and descriptions on file at the EXPOSE
ton headquarters it can be seen that
it will be beautiful place, rivaling, if
not surprising, the famous Court of
Honor at the Worlds fair in Chicago in
1893.
The placing of the special implement
building Oh the exposition grounds is a
great boon to the farmer. 1t will be a
place where he can come to study the
latest progressive ideas in machinery
and appliances used in his business.
Progressive farmers viii attend in large
numbers and profit by the lessons there
learned.
Especially instructive will be the vii
lage illustrating. the daily life and in
dustries. the toll and play, business, So
eial and family life of the peoples of
our newly acquired possessions, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, and
our protege Cuba. These villages will
be populated by genuine inhabitants of
those regions, especially imported for
that purpose and they will be in all re-
spects typical of the life they are sup
posed to represent.
Repeatedly the assertion has been
made that the bulk of our manufacture
ed articles are exported to manufacture
ing countries and that there is large
share of truth in it would seem to be

Many Opportunities for American Trade
in tn Bonnie Land of Burns
AT the national export exposition
many Of the largest importing houses
of Scotland will be represented by their
buyers, and at the International Com
mercial congress to be held in Phlladel-
phia some of the more important cham
bers of commerce of that country will
have delegates. Scotland is apparently
very enthusiastic over these projects
for she is not a manufacturing country
and it Is to the interest of her people
that goods be obtained at the lowest
figures and of the best qualities.
The coming exposition will offer a
splendid opportunity for American
manufacturers and exporters to come in
touch with the best business men of
Scotland, and the opportunity should
not be thrown away. The attention of
American shoe manufacturers is called
to the following, written by United
States Consul Fleming at Edinburgh
Ladies' boots and shoes of American
manufacture are sold by several of the
prominent shops and company stores
in this citys The demand for them
steadily grows, and especially with the
better class of customers. They have
largely superseded the French boots
and shoes; in word, they are the fash
ion. American boots for ladies' sell at
about $4.62, shoes at about $500 pair.
The manager of a leading shop tells me
that these boots and shoes are in high
favor owing to their erect shape and
appearance and to their fit. The leath-
er of the uppers in the standard quail
ties is here considered wonderfully fine
the finest known, in fact, and the
stitching is perfect. He finds fault,
however, with the sole leather. He says
that it is not always the best quality,
and the best is required to keep out
the dampness in the wet Scottish win
ters. Therefore, American boots are
not in equal demand all the year round,
the sales being appreciably larger in
summer than in winter. If this criti-
cism of the sole leather is valid, it
should be easy for the American manu-
facturers to remedy the defect.

ABOUT A HOME CONSOLIDATION
The New York Financial Review says
| in an article about the International Sill
ver Co., whose headquarters are in Mer.
iden this state:
The International Silver Co. is a New
Jersey corporation capitalized at $780,
900 preferred stock and $11,000,00(
! common stock. The amount of pre-
ferred stock Issued in the requirements
of companies is $5,111,500, the balance to
remain in the company's treasury and
acquiring additional plants. or for such
other purposes as the board of directors
may determine.
The common stock issued for the pur-
chase of companies amount to $9,S96 900.
The companies which have been ac-
quired are: The Meriden Britannia
Co. of Meriden: Rogers e Bros, Of
Waterbury, Conn. The Barbour Silver
Co., of Hartford, Conn: The William
Rogers Manufacturing Co., Hartford,
Conn; Manhattan Silver Plate Co.. of
Lyons, N. T.. The Watrous Manufac-
turing Co., Walllngford, Conn: the

Silver Plate Co, of Merlden. Conn. !:
Rogers & Hamilton Co., of Waterbury,
Conn; Norwich Cutlery Co. OF Nor
witch Conn; Standard Silver Co., Of
Toronto, Canada and the Holmes &
Edwards Co., Of Bridgeport Conn, !;
Middletown Plate Co., of Middletown,
Derby Silver company of Derby.
Conn, all of which represent over
seventy per cent. Of the silver plating
industry of the country.
The following officers of the new COM
pany will be recognized as among tho
leaders in the trade, gentlemen Of high
standing and unuuestioned experience:
President, Samuel Dodd, treasurer
Wilcox Silver Plate Coz presidents,
George II. Wilcox. president of the
Meriden Britannia Co: George C. Ed
wards president of Holmes & Edwards
Silver Co. Of Bridgeport, Conn; and

dent of Manhattan Silver Plate Co., of
Lyons, NJ Y, Messrs. C. f Brecken-
ridge manager of N Y warerooms;
Simpson, Thacher & Barnum, general
counsel
1t would be difficult to find company
where all factors seem so FAY orable to
great success, and the interest which
the consolidation has aroused in the
financial and business world is therefore
easily understood and with ample fuun-
dalton in the circumstances.

Naval Reserves Intended to Take a
Long Cruise But Only Reached
Bridgeport.
1t was o'clock last evening when
the Elfrida, in charge of the local naval
reserves, dropped anchor in Morris
Cove They started off Saturday even
ing for an extended cruise, happy at
being once more in possession of the
little yacht, but had no more than stuck
her nose outside of the breakwatcr than
the heavy sea and stiff wind compelled
them to shorten it somewhat.
After standing out quite a distance
into the Sound they bore away and ran
before the wind for Bridgeport harhor.
Yesterday morning it was expected that
they could go on with their cruise, but
the weather still continued heavy and
they remained in the harbor AT 4
O'Clock they set out for this city, which
they reached quite late.

from the Copper River Country to the
klondike, a journey that must have
been svere. Altwein estimated that all
told they travelled fully 1900 miles.
AltWein writes in one place that he is
not discouraged as he is satisfied that
there is gold where they are. The
country had been prospected before and
the location of claim is liable to
prove dangerous, provided it proves to
be of value as a former prospector is
apt to show up. They are now at
work and expect to make some sort of
a showing. Recently they unearthed
the skeleton Of a huge mastodon. Alt
vein writes it's tusk took two men to
carry it and they were fully twice as
large as those Of the skeleton seen by
him at the worlds fair. Taken as a
whole the letter manifests at times a
tone of confidence as to success and
again il shows a determination akin to
DESPERATION. The best news is that all
are well and that the boys are now in
country where the are certain to be
heard from il they are unfortunate
enough to meet with an accident or ILL
ness. Letters from Quinlan and Davis
are expected at an early date.

that the convention adjourn sine die,
and empowering the state central com
mitteo to take any action necessary to
place a ticket in the field for the cam
paign of 1899. This brought out much
opposition. At this point. Capt, w. j.
Stone and Gen, L. Wat Hardin APP
peared on the stage side by side and
made speeches. After these speeches
