LAMBERTVILLE. n. J.
WEDNESDAY, JULY IL, 1899.

That eminent statesman, Pingree,
now Governor of Michigan by the grace
Of the Republican party, whose name
he dishonors, is treating the employees
of his shoe factory to the sensation of a
lockout. This is the same Pingree,
who, as the champion of the poor man,
the eternal enemy of "trusts, spent
several weeks in South America trying
TO get corner ON asphalt, and de-
nonnced Marcus Hanna as Il "boss, "
corruptionist and plutocrat of the
most horrid type. Yet when the street
car men of Cleveland struck recently
ON account of grievances, every line in
that city was tied up except those
owned by Mark Hanna. 1t is a we'll
known fact that there is never strike
in any of Hanna's enterprises, except
it be sympathetic. That areh-pluto-
crat never gives his employees any
ground for complaint, and you can't
get them to say anything against him,
either. Another thing worthy of note
in comparing Hanna with his critics is
that the street car lines of Cleveland,
outside Of Hanna's, are all controlled
by TINT philanthropist and follower of
Henry George Tom johnson. Az be-
tween Hanna and his critics, who is the
laboring mans friend Warren Tid-

THE BIG EXPOSITION.
PhiIadelphia's Show of Manufactures I'm
der One Roof.

heT OuB HODI.
An Enclosure of More than Forty Acres IL
to be Devoted Entirely to Amusements.-
Located In West Philadelphia.
The group of buildings in which the
Exposition Of Manufactured Products
of the United States is to be held in
in Philadelphia next Fall under the
joint auspices of the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum and Franklin Insti-
tute, are to be so connected as to make
one grand structure, about 400 by 900
feet in extreme dimensions, and cover
ing an area Of more than eight acres Of
ground. Four separate buildings will
enter into this big structure, but they
will be practically under single roof,
and SO connected MS to be, for all in
tents and purposes, single immense
building
The buildings are on the tract of
land in West Philadelphia set aside by
the city for the permanent building of
the Philadelphia Museums. This tract
lies to the south of the South street
Bridge and between the Almshouse
and the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad tracts.
The main entrance to the exposition
grounds will be at the northwest corner
of the tract, where it is proposed that
passenger railway tracks shall enter
from Thirty fourth street, making a
loop directly in front of the principal
entrance to the buildings. The main
entrance will be through a broad, cover
ed eolonnade 100 feet wide, composed
of double rows of handsome columns,
into an open court 275 feet square. On
each side of the entrance colonnade
there will be buildings TOKYO feet in
dimensions, giving an entire frontage
of 400 feet. The architects are treating
this frontage so that the whole will
form very imposing facade in the ex-
position style of architecture.
The court will be inclosed at the
sides by wide colonnades, and on the
building of the exposition, to which
there will be entrance from the court.
Ire building west of the entrance
colonnade is to be arranged rs an
assembly hall, with seating capacity
for 200 people. In this hall will be
held the session of the Commercial
Congress, in connecting with the meet
ing the international Advisory Board
of the Commercial Museum. The
assembly hall will have sloping floor,
folding seats and all the convenienees
of an auditorium
While the primary purpose of the
exposition will be to foster and eneour-
age American export trade, and will be
the first of its kind ever held in the
United States, the amusement feature
will not be entirely set aside by the
expostion's practical purpose. There
are forty acres of ground between the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more railroad and the Schuylkill,
separated from the site of the exposi-
ton buildings by the railroad tracks,
which will be graded and used for
such amusements as the exposition
management will deem proper to admit.
While little has been definitely
decided upon in this connection, ii is
contemplated to have Chinese vii
liage, the houses and people to be
brought from China. The home life
of the Chinese will be shown aud An
| uspeclai leature VIII be the various IN
dnstries Of the people of the Orient.

was willing to do anything for an honest

A small salary would not be refused.
He was given job. The work was not
hard and the pay was not large, but he

t. be n good worker and at the end of
the first month his pay was increased.
There was n prospect of another in

but before it came he was gone. He

himself, got little moneyin his pocket

stick. His sudden leaving put his en-
ployer to some Inconvenience, but that
was nothing to him.
Quite recently II young man APP

ed his employment several times in n
year or so, it was thought we'll to make
some inquiries before putting ont much
effort in his behalf 1t was learned
that his disposition was not the most

Employers have often complained

1t is undoubtedly n fact that the men
who are nearly always looking foi

right to some feeling of loyalty on tn,
part of his employees, and to desire ON
