next three or four years in different

be held in Philadelphia, in Septem-
Der, October and November of the

The Philadelphia Exposition of 1898

American manufactures and the ex-
pansion of our export trade, and it will
be the first national exposition of that
character ever held in this country.

RIPLISG'S PATRiOTIC WORK.

pass now to Mr.. Kipling's work,
says W. Alleyne Ireland in the April
Atlantic, and / am inclined to think
that if his influence on English thought
in regard to the empire has not been
greater than that of the men | have
named above, it has been of kind
that appeals to. q somewhat higher set
of emotions. We see the Others awaken
ing the lust of empire, stimulating the
admiration for brave fighting, urging
on the spirit of commercial enterprise,
administering to that love Of adventure
which has always characterized the
English people; in Mr.. Kipling's work
We find something higher than all this.
III l read Mr.. kipling's work, and
especially his later work, Alright, there
is one dominating idea to lie traced in
his writings-the capacity, the duty,
of the men of tho Apglo-Saxon race to
shoulders, not for love of gain, not for
hope of praise, but for the very joy of
the accomplished thing. 1t seems to
me that we have become in these latter
years of the century peculiarly sensitive
to emotional stimulus, more apt than
ever before to be controlled for good or
evil by sentimental considerations. It
is to this quality in us that Mr.. Kipling
appeals. 1t is, of course, extremely
difficult to gauge the influence which
is exerted by writer like Mr.. Kipling,
by my own experience of Englishmen
in many lands and | can scarcely
think it exceptional--ha shown me
that his books have contributed more
than those of any other writer to bring
about realization and an appreciation
OF the magnificent work which is being
done by the silent thousands who are
quietly but earnestly building up the
British Empire. The creed he would
have us learn is simple one:
TO to your work and be strong, hating not
in your ways,
Banking the end half-won for an instant
dole of'praisc.
Stand to your work and be wise-certain of
sword and pen,

by foreign manufacturer. This de
partment will consist of collections of
samples of goods made in the CONNER
cial countries of Europe and success
fully sold in all foreign markets in
competition with American goods, and
in foreign markets in which American
trade has not yet been developed. These
samples will be exhibited side by side
with American products of the same
class, and will show our manufacturers
just what competition they must meet
abroad, as we'll as the peculiarities in
the demands of every foreign market.
The samples of goods of foreign manu-
facture are being selected and pur-
chased abroad by representatives of the
Exposition, aided by the entire Con-
sular service Of the United States.
A third department of the Exposition
will show how American goods must
be packed, labeled and shipped in
order to meet the requirements OF
foreign trade, which vary according to
the degree of development or civiliza-
tion in each country Of the world.
In October Commercial Congress
will be held in Philadelphia in con

Just matters pertaining to the bridge
OF the Delaware, Maryland & Virginia
Railroad Co. across the Assawaman
canal, near Lewes, failed to reach an
agreement in the conference with the
p. W. & B. railroad attorneys in this
city Saturday week, the matter has been
referred to the War Department at
Washington for decision.
The matter of damages has been
fixed by the commissioners and will be
awarded as soon as the other points are
decided upon, but up to the present
time the commissioners and railroad
attorneys have been unable to agree
c7ncerning the plans for the bridge.
The railroad attorneys insist that the
plans should be determined definitely
before signing an agreement, while
some of the others are of the opinion
that the details of the bridge plans
should be left for future adjustment
between the railroad company and the
branch of the government having juris-
dlction over waterways, hence the
hitch. The railroad company's repre-
sentatiyes have prepared plans, which
have been submitted to the COM
missioners.
An early reply is expected from the
War Department, and it is thought the
matter will be settled in short order
after it is received.

Plant IN Paris.
The, Delaware Hard Fibre Co. ID
erecting a large plant in Paris, France,
and in few weeks Leighton G.
Van Trump, superintendent of the
Wilmington factory, will sail for
Europe to take charge of the Paris
branch. Mr.. Van Trump, who is a
Wilmingtonian, has been with the
company several years and is we'll
acquainted with the business.
During the past few years the COM
pany has so increased its foreign bust
ness that factory on the other side Of
the Atlantic became necessity, hence
the step. The factory in Paris, which
is nearing completion, will have about
double the capacity of the one in this
city. The Paris plant is being fitted
with all the modern improvements and
all tho machinery will be run by
electric power, the motors being geared
directly to the machines. The electii-
cal equipment, from dynamo to motor,
will he of the latest pattern and most
complete in ali the appointments.
Instead of the old method of evapo-
rating the chemicals, the company is
installing large vacuum evaporating
pans capable of evaporating $4,000
gallons of solution per day.
All of the special machinery usedEin
the business is being built at machine
shops in this city, and part of it is
being shipped to the Paris factory.
The plant is expected to be in
operation by July LIST. The company
reports having entered into contracts
with several large users of fibre, which
will insure from the start an output OF
l,000,000 pounds per annum. Owing
to the low cost of raw materials and
labor and the consequent great economy
in operating, it is believed that fibre
can be produced at price which will
be considerably below that of the
American factories. Two fibre ma
chimes arc being installed, each with
6-foot cylinders. and third machine
is being built which will make the
thinner grades of material in con
tinuous sheet.
