The pari. Exposition.

| There are rumors that the Paris Ex-
! position is a fraud, and that not only are
visitors charged double price for every
thing but that they are not even getting
as much for their money as was promised
them. The most alarming report is to
the effect that some of the buildings in
Guiding the American building are unsafe
II seems as If a civilized country ought
to outgrow this trick of building shoddy
structures. even for temporary occupancy
when neglect of ordinary building precau-
lions may result in the death of hundreds
of people. One might think that the mod
ern man was determined to make up for
lack of danger from highwaymen, murder
ers, and the plague-the things which
, added spice of excitement to the life Of
! his ancest0r-by enjoying a good railway
accident or hotel fire now and then,
caused by sheer carelessuess.
/ As for such buildings as those at the
Exposition. there is no excuse Tor allow
/ ing them to be in any way unsafe. They
are avowedly built for the purpose of ac-
commodating large crowds, even though
for only a short time. To risk the lives
of these human beings by making such
structures fire-traps is simply criminal.
The terrible fire which took place at the
Charity Bazaar in Paris some years ago
shows what havoc can be wrought in such
case, especially II miscellaneous col
lection of excitable and not over-intelligent
people fills the edifice when fire breaks out.
Since such temporary buildings cannot, in
the nature of things, be made perfectly
fire-proof. like a stone business block,
there should certainly be abundant means
of exit in case of fire or panic.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
rumors quoted are untrue. since nobody
wants to think OF the possibility Of hor-
rible accident involving the destruction Of
human life by wholesale. But at the same
time, ii would be well to investigate the
matter and see If there is a foundation for
the suspicion that the buildings are not
safe, and il they are not, perhaps II would
be as well to let the Paris Exposition
alone and try to reach some sort of agree
ment by which future expeditions shall be
free from any such blundeTs.

The Principle. of Bookbindrns.

A writer in the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages OF
the ordinary book are injurious 10 the eye.
As the book is opened the page is naturally
bent, forming an unequal curve from enc
side of the reading matter to the other.
The eye must thus constantly change its
focus, and the ciliary muscles are under
a constant strain. Moreover, the light
falls equally upon both sides of the page.
1t is suggested that If the lines were
printed parallel to the binding instead of
at right angles to it, this injury to the
vision would be obviated. But it is very
unlikely that this will be done, on &C.
count of the Inconvenience Of holding the
book IL SO constructed. Reforms like nat
ural forces, must work along the line of
least resistance.
But there is a great difference in the ef-
feet which different books have upon the
eyesight. and the principles OF bookbirI-
ing ought to be understood II modern ma
tions are not to become permanently

plies to Charges of Abuses.
NEW YORK. June 6.-Speaking OF the
alleged abuses said to be charged against
some officials Of the Barge Office In the
report prepared by the special investigat-
ing committee. which was appointed last
| February to look into the affairs Of the
| Bureau of immigration, Commissioner of
immigration Thomas Fitchie said this
morning that the whole matter was the
work of persons who have been prevented
| from doing various sorts OF shady BUSH
ness on the premises.
There are lots of boarding house men
who are trying to rope in immigrants, and
whom We Keep out Of their way he said.
These hate us because we don't let them
fleece the poor foreigners who, in their
helplessness in strange country, might
become easy prey of all kinds of sharks
Then there are the ticket scalpers and
railroad agents, turned out Of here be-
cause of tricks employed by them In get
ting out immigrants contrary to law, so
as to sell them tickets to their final des-
tination. Add to that some shyster lawyers
who offer to get immigrants out at the
rate Of S. per head, and you will under
stand the origin of the spite which is at
the bottom of all this alleged testimony
against tnlS once.
Referring to the charges Of bribery Mr..
Fitchie pointed out that in cases where an
immigrant is detained his fate is In the
hands of the board Of special enquiry.
You would have to bride every member
Of the board and several Of the other Off
GERS besides in order to get your man out.
Every cog Of every wheel would have to
run smoothly to enable one to get out
single person contrary to law. The mis-
sionaries who work here know that the
charge is absurd. AS to the alleged accrsa-
ton that immigrants are treated roughly
and women insulted. need only say that
during the day they are all kept here unaer

ey, my assistant, and Mr.. Lederniiger. our
chief clerk, were highly recommended to

them to be very efficient and excellent on

Mr.. Fitchie said that owing to the un-
usual rush Of immigration every officer con-
nected with the bureau has been worai,g
more than the eight hours a day required
by law; that altogether every man under
him has put in fifteen days work extra

The replies of various prominent share
| holders when questioned about their stock
were as follows:

Corporation Counsel Whalen: Il pur-
| chased stock in the company as 1 re-
| garded 1t as a good speculation. l dis
! posed of my holdings to John E. McDon-
aid and l presume that the reason that
the stock appears in my name is that
Mcdonald is in Europe and failed to have
the transfer recorded.
Randolph Guggenheimer: Mr.. Guggen-
heimcr has not now and never had any
interest whatever in the stock of the
American Ice Company except to the ex-
tent of one share Of preferred stock. which
he acquired many years ago, and which
was sold by him to William II. Gelshenen,
President of the Garfield National Bank,
on July 26, 1899 for $50. The 200 shares
Of stock appearing in Mr.. Guggenheimer's
name on the books of the American Ice
Company were purchased by him in behalf
of others on May &c. 1899. He did not re-
member that they ever stood In his
name"
Justice George L. Ingraham, Of the APP
pellate Division Of the Supreme Court
First Department. said some days ago that
he held no stock in the ice or any other
trust, and The subsequent appearance of
MS name IN the puDllshed list OF STOCK
holders In the American Ice Company
caused some surprise. He declined to say
anything further until today, however,
when he made the following statement:
Il was completely surprised to find my
name in the list Of stockholders of the
American Ice Company. and / could not ex-
plain it, because / knew nothing about the
matter at all. Since then l have made an
investigation. and find that my name got
on the list through a mistake Some time
ago my brother Arthur Ingraham. bought
some of the stock and paid for it with
check. Someone in the office who was
probably more familiar with my name than
with that of my brother, sent a receipt in
my name. The mistake was observed at
once and the stock was put in my broth
er's name. 1t appears. however. that my
name had already got on the list. Ny
brother had had dealings with the old
Knickerbocker Ice Company for years, aud
leased property to them. 1t was through
someone in the old company. l believe.
that he got the idea of buying stock In the
American Ice Company.
LAS for myself since | have been a
judge, / have neither bought nor sold any
stock In any corporation, nor even owned
any. / have always had an idea that it
was best for Judge to keep out OF the
stock market. and state In the most
comprehensive way. that since have been
a judge l have never held stock in any
corporation"

That there are some decent Republicans
left in Kentucky is indicated by the way
they arc reported as beginning to regard
Taylor. He is being told that, unless he
ceases to be a fugitive from justice and re-
turns TO face the indictment against him.
the respectable element in his party will
drop him. 1t is not seriously believed,
however, that Taylor is the kind Of man. or
feels himself in position to listen TO such
a call. He knows better than anyone else
foutsey perhaps excepted, what trial on
the charge of being an accessory to the
murder of the late Governor Gosbel might
bring out in the way of evidence. and
what, possibly, might be the uncomfortable.

NEW YORK, June 6-Proceedings
