CUMBERLAND ROAD.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THIS FAMOUS MA
TIONAL HIGHWAY.
Though Nearly n Century Old, 1t Is
still IL Good ROnd-Constructed on

tiOnaI Highways Built.

Early in the present century, with
the movement started in England by
Telford and Macadam in favor of bro
ken stone roads, the Importance of i'm
proved roads for military, postal and
commercial purposes began to be wide
ly appreciated. Road reform assumed
such proportions that it was advocated
by many of the great patriots of the
day. Indeed the movement waXed so
strong in this country that it became
one of the leading questions of national
politics.
Those who believed in q liberal con-
struction of the constitution were ia
vorablc to the building of roads by the
general government while the strict
constructionSts denied the power Of
the government to spend money for
any such internal improvements. Dur
ing President JefferSon's second term
the bill admitting Ohio as a state, pass
ed April 80, 1902, contained a provision
setting apart > per cent of the net pro-
ceedS from the sale of public lands in
that state to the building of public
roads leading from the navigable wa
ters emptying into the Atlantic to and
through the state of OhO-3 per cent
for roadmaking within the state and .

Three Persons Killed and Number In
jured In Pittsburg Accident.
Pittsburg, April Without warn
ing and with rush and roar, the
four-story brick building at the corner
of Second avenue and Wood street col
lapsed today, burying in its ruins a
number of people, three of whom were
taken out dead, five were badly hurt,
and several others slightly injured.
The building was occupied by the
Armstrong, McKeIvy Lead g. Oil Com
pany. 1t was being remodeled by Con-
tractors McGovern and Lyte, who were
converting the lower floors of the corner
store and that next door into one large
room. About 4S feet of the middle
partition had been removed, and steel
girders, supported by heavy iron posts,
were in place, and the finishing touches
were being put ON the remodeled work.
The firm this morning began the trans
fer of its stock from one room to the
other, and apparently centralized the
heavy weight of the leads and oils about
the middle of the structure. The col
lapse began by the second floor break
ing through, carrying with it the two
floors above, making breach from top
to bottom through the center of the
building.
The fact that the rear portion OF the
building ON Second avenue did not col
lapse saved many lives. 1t was in that
part of the building that the Offices
were located, in which there were about
10 persons. Those who were in the
rear portion of the building heard the
crash and ran out OF the side door into
Second avenue and escaped. The loss
of the firm will be about $40, 900.

GATES THROWN Open
Formal Dedication ofFrance's
Great Exposition.
THE SHOW is FAR FROM READY
ister MiIIerand- Completeness and
Extent OF American Exhibits.

Paris April 17.-The exposition OF
1900 is open. but it will be at least a
month before anything but buildings is
to be seen. The days ceremonies were
a peculiar mixture OF sumptuous spIen-
dor in the Sale des Fetes, and wide
spread confusion elsewhere. Nothing
could have exceeded the picturesque
stage setting in the beautiful building
in which the ceremonies were held, the
gorgeous uniforms of the diplomats and
soldiers, the splendid orchestra and
chorus and the magnificent effect pro-
duced by the grand staircase, up which
President Loubet proceeded to view the
exposition, lined with some 200 picked
men OF the Republican guard, with
jackboots, white breeches, cleaning
cuirasses and horse-hair plumes stream
ing from shining helmets. At the top
OF this stairway was a room, the in
terror Of which could be seen from the
Sale des Fetes, and this was hung with
priceless gobelins from the Louvre.
Into this splendid apartment President
Loubet entered and walked down the
avenue to his boat. This part of the
days arrangement was perfect, but the
rest was chaos.
The weather today was luckily all
that could be desired. Fourteen thous-
and guests had been invited to the
function, and they had, because of the
fine weather, only the dust to endure.
Had the day been wet, the unrolled
paths OF the exposition grounds would
have been turned into mass of mud
The afternoon was a holiday in Paris
by general consent. and host oil
country people crowded into the city
to swell the multitudes, who from an
early hour serged in the direction of the
exposition and took up positions along
the route Of the presidential procession
and at the approaches to the grounds.
The immense number OF guests prac-
tically swept the central streets clean
of cabs. of which an unbroken stream,
several deep, drifted slowly toward the
gates between noon and 2:30 p. M.
Drifted is the correct expression for the
rate OF progress. because the traffic ar
rangements were so inadequate that
hundreds OF vehicles did not reach the
exposition at all, and the occupants
were either left stranded en- route or
were Obliged to abandon their carriages
and proceed ON foot. This was the ex-
pedient ordinarily adopted, even by

corps and two gorgeously attired Off

IN PUERTO Rlco.
Former Good Feeling Between Native
and Americans LessenfnKs

Ponce, Puerto Rico, April 14.-At no
time since the hurricane OF August s
last, has the condition Of the poor OF
Puerto Rico been as bad as it il today.
About 95 per cent Of the island may be
placed in the peon class, which Is made
up OF mixture Of all races. In the
other per cent are inciuded the we'll
to-do, educated people. such as mer-
chants, planters and professional men
and their families.
This better class is able to pass
through such times as are now prevail
ing without actual physical suffering,
but their business affairs are at stand
still, and have been for a long time,
and this depriyes the majority Of the
large laboring class OF means OF live
lihood. This large body Of laboring
people furnishes the very cheap and
effective labor which is needed for
agriculture and other work, but at all
times they have been in an under fed
and poorly nourished condition.
Their hardships have been greatly
added to by the scarcity Of fruit since
the hurricane, and it is consequently
increased in price. Salt fish, rice and
beans have been imported free Of duty
since the hurricane, but little OF the
benefit derived from this has gone TO
poems, and now, when there is pros
pect Of Is per cent Of the Dingley tariff
being placed on these articles, the price
has been greatly advanced. Merchants
hesitate TO import lagre stocks because
OF the prospect Of free trade, and the
present scarcity OF fruit is also cause
for the advance in prices. Rice has
gone up from TO 9 centayos a pound
to s and 8, beans from to IL, and, at
one time. few days ago, to 10 cent
ayos pound, while salt fish has ad-
vanced from to about 10 centayos.
No one who understands the situa-
tion here will deny that much OF the
former good feeling between Puerto
Ricans and Americans has been lost.
Besides, Americans are fewer in num-
Der in Puerto Rico today than at any
time since shortly after the troops first
landed. and those departing have left q
long list of defunct companies, bank
rupt business, wrecked schemes and
anxious creditors. who. in some cases,
hold choice collections of worthless
notes and checks. Not only are Amer
leans leaving the island, but large num-
bers Of Puerto Ricans have gone to
Venezuela, to Santo Domingo and to
Cuba. Three days ago more than 300
natives sailed for Cuba to obtain en-
ployment there, and at least 1000
sailed from this port alone during the
last three months.
Much livestock is also being shipped
to Cuba. The greatest loss to Puerto
Rico in this respect is in the large car
goes of magnificent cattle, which it
will take years to replace.
