PARIS EXPOSITION.
A Fake and a Fraud Says New
Yorker Who Has Been There.

Robert B. Roosevelt, fresh from
the Paris Exposition, arrived home
on the Holland Line Steamship
Steatendam.
81 am not a cynic and am usually
easily pleased" said Mr.. Roosevelt,
when seen at his home, No. 81
Fifth avenue, "hut that exposition
Is the worst fake and fraud that was
ever perpetrated Oh mankind.
The World was right when 1t
SAID recently that the American
building at the exposition was I'M
eafe. 1t Is unsafe. | don't care
what is said 10 tbs contrary, and |
want to tell the people of New York
that it Is. was there on the open
ing day, and know of my own per-
sonal knowledge that not half the
people who wanted to 90 into 1t
were allowed. The building was
not more than half full at any time,
and even then it was not safe. If
all the people who were turned back
had got In at once the building. III
my opinion, would have fallen.
"l could not understand why the
doors were lot thrown open and
every one invited to 60 in. 1t seem
ed so un-American TO me. | then
began to make inquiries, and found
that the building strength was even
then tested to Its almost.
"Tne reports were sont. out that
the building was packed to its full
est. This Is not true. | am in
possession of inside facts that con
vince me that the first time the ca
paciiy of the building is tested to
any extent it will fall. | don't
know whether there is any danger
as long as any care is taken.
81 do not blame Commissioner
Peck. | don't knew who is rcspon-
sible for the building being weak.
"UnIess you have been to the ex-
position you can't understand how
are being robbed i'll
Paris this summer. Really, it is
the duty Of some one to warn Anne
ricans to keep away from the ex-
position, and / am going to do 1t.
"In the first place. 1t is worse
than B pwery show-not as inter-
esting as the most undressing
how on the Bowery. Every thing
about it Is a fake. | have read lots
in the papers about the wonderful
spy glass that showed the moon. |
went to see this spy-glass and found
it pointed to magic lantern. i
detected the fake at once, but |
went on just as did all other Ameri-
cans, and paid another franc to see
The next fake.
ssBefore | went TO the exposition
| calculated that a person could see
the whole show for $50 francs. i
discovered before | left that it cost
just 1900 francs to see every fake.
"The art galleries are worth see
ing, and the American exhibits are
as good as any. In fact, | can say
from an unprejudlced point of view
that they are even better than those
from any other country except
France, and they are as good as
those from France. Art critics tC
whom talked say that America is
improving IN art, while France is
deterioratlng." New York World.

m.K,NLEY AND ROOSEVELT
Nominated FOR President and vice-Presi-
dent by Acclamatiop.

On Thursday afternoon, at the Phila-
delphia ratification meeting OF the
Republican party, Mckinley and
Roosevelt we're nominated by acclama-
ton, aud both believe they are as
good as elected to fill the presidential
and vice-presidential chairs. Roose-
welt had all along said that he would
not accept the nomination; protested
vehemently that he did not want the
vlce-presidency, but it is plain that the
whole matter was prearranged in order
10 give the proceedings dramatic turn.
| Roosevelt is supposed TO carry great
strength as a result OF his war record,
but yet he only carried New York
state for governor two years ago by a
majority OF some eighteen thousand,
while Mckinley carried the state in
1896 by 200, 200, and in 1898 Teddy was
in the first flush Of his popularity as d
hero. If New York is carried by the
Republicans this year it will be done
by Roosevelt, but there are a lot Of
knives up the sleeves OF Republicans
there which will be brought into play
to defeat him.
The Philadelphia platform not only
endorses what Mckinley has done, but
what he ought to have done. 1t i:
lavish in promises, and we'll calculated
to fool the people.
The full text OF the platform pro-
mulgated will be found on the inside
pages OF this issue Of the SENTINEL.
The Democrats at Kansas City, a lit
tie later on, will disturb to some extern
the confidence OF these arrogant ant
power-proud arbiters OF the fate OF the
nation.

The pride OF Mississippi is in her
public schools, and they have been the
first thought of or legislatures and
public men for many years. Next
in importance comes our colleges,
private schools and denominationsl
educational institutions. The State
University at oxford is prepared to
give a course of study that will equip
any young man or woman for their
life work, no matter what the chosen
profession may be. Millsaps college,
at Jackson is on a par with the best
schools for men in the south. AL
over our state are excellent schools
for young ladies, and they are we'll
equipped and thoroughly fitted for
the work they are carrying out. This
being the case we see no reason why
so many OF ~ young men and women
leave their native state to patronize
colleges abroad which are not one whit
better equipped than the one at theil
very doors. With such lavish expendi
ture as is made for education in Miss
issippi it does not seem just that the
parents OF young women, especially
should spend their money abroad 10
the education OF their daughters. Th'
first law OF public economy is to keeI
money at home in every case wher
the same equivalent a be obtaine'
there as can be obtained abroad. Thi
can be practiced with as muc'
practicability in regard to educatio
as in any other way. Don't help
build up colleges in other towns an
states when you have ones equally a
good at home.

Those who preach the blessings "

excessive military expense. and every
citizen is daily quitting up" his money

will continue to do so for many years
to come, without getting one single
cent in return. II we want to get clear

due to McKinlyism, and II we mistake
not, the Republican party will 60 dowr

Primary elections for offices in which
the people take but little interest, such
as the one held Thursday, are a
nuisance. The majority OF the farmers
are too busy to stop work to vote at

US primaries when there is anything at

here, are rapidly pushing troops into
Manchuria where indications point

work on the railroad to Pekin which
adds to the complications 1t Is be-

to Tien Tsin. The march back was un-

Boxers have retired in force to a VIII

The Americans did not participate in
the burning and looting of Tu Liu, and
this caused considerable comment
among the other commanders.
The Sixth United States cavalry, it
is reported here, have been ordered to
