BUILDING THE PAN-AMER1cAN.
Thousands of Men Mt Work on the
Great Structures of the EXPOSE

1t requires a large force of men to
construct the buildings of great big
exposition. The various workers en-
ployed in the construticl of the Pan
American exposition at Bu1falo, N. Y,
and in the carrying on of the large
business of the exposition company
are numerous enough to populate a
small city. There are more than 1900
men engaged in the mechanical and
other labor upon the buildings of the
exposition and the work upon the
grounds, and the number is steadily
increasing. They are employed in Gre

AUTHOR MADE A HIT.
He Finally Brought His Novel to
q Close IN Advance of His
First Purpose.

One of the most popular novels of
the day had strange history which
might have been considered fatal to
its success had it been considered in
advance. A New York author whose
books are always sure of certain de-
gree of popularity finished all but the
last few chapters of a novel. Try as
he might, it was impossible for him
to complete the story satisfactorily.
So he put the book away and for two
years it lay unfinished on his desk, al
though the author thought of the
work from time to time without be-
Ing able to get any nearer the solu-
ton of the plot, says the New York
Sun.
Finally he lost all hope of ever COM
pleting the work and decided to end
1t at point several chapters in adj
vance of that at which he had ceased
TO write. With this abrupt and unex-
pected ending the novel went to a pub
Usher, was accepted and turned out
one of the most popular novels this
author has ever written. One of the
most praised features of the book is
its unconventional ending, which is
said to be just explicit enough to sat
i.fy everybody without going into ar
one time SO discouraged about the end
ing of the book that he had almost
given up the idea Of submitting it to
any publisher.

Nature holds out no prospect of re-

there is every prospect that the con-

on the budget the viceroy, Lord Cur

THE LovEL1EsT WOMAN.
Margaret Fuller Would Have Ex.
changed Her Intellect for Emily
MarxhRll's Beauty,

Margaret Fuller once expressed the
willingness to exchange her fine intel
lect and all her accomplishments for
the beauty and attractiveness of En-
lily Marshall (who had been her
schoolmate), writes William Perrine
of THE Loyeliest Woman in All
America" in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Miss Marshall stood before us a
reversion to that faultless type of
structure which artists have imagined
in the past and to that ideal loneliness
OF disposition which poets have fancied,
in the golden age" was the verdict of a
Boston gallant, one of the fair beauty's
neighbors, recorded in after life, when
his judgment was unprejudiced. Such
was the homage which the people of
Boston would sometimes bestow upon
Miss Marshall that one night when
Daniel Webster, then beginning his
career in the United States senate, Wis
tied the Federal Street theater the APP
plause which the audience showered
upon him was not greater than the
cheers with which it welcomed the
divine Emily. In New York she caused
such sensation that one morning ten
gentlemen at one time were seen in her
escort, and 60 left their cards for her.
When she went to such summer resorts
Is Saratoga the crowds at the hotel
would form lane through which she
might pass as they waited to view her
going to and from her coach, and tits a
Philadelphia tradition that when she
visited that city one of the schools was
closed earlier than the usual hour to
give the young girls a chance to see
the famous belle. Indeed, women
looked upon her with an admiration
which they seldom accord to beauties.

A HISTORIC TOWER.
The Famous Landmark on Leith Hall
Is Being Put in Good
Repair.

The famous tower on the summit Of
Leith hill is undergoing much-needed
renovation. The tower has occupied
Its present position for 134 years. It
was erected in 1875 by Richard Hull,
of Leith Hill place, who selected the
exposed position as his burying-place,
and his remains We're, on his death in
1772, inferred beneath the tower. SUBJ
sequently portion of the interior was
filled with stone and cement, and the
entrance blocked. In 1864, however, the
lord of the manor determined to re-
store 1t to its original purpose Of q
prospect tower. The solid cement, how
ever, cannot be pierced and in order to
overcome the difficulty an outer tur.
ret for the staircase had to be built.
Since that time many thousands of
holiday-makers have assembled it for
the more extensive view gained from
its parapet. The building and the re-
construction are each commemorated
by stones bearing inscriptions in Latin
inserted In the brickwork over the
door.
The height of Leith hill is 965 feet,
and the tower renders the view one
from height of 1000 feef.-the high
est point in the southeastern counties.
This renders possible a more EXTEND
ed view than from almost any point
near London, reaching from the long
line of the South Downs to Dunsta BILE
Downs, in Bedfordshire-a prospect
embracing many counties and COM
puted by some as district 200 miles
i'm circumference.
