FINE FAIR FOR BUFFALO.
Ambrose Butler Tells of Pan-Ameri-
can shows Interesting Features.

can SHOWS II
Ambrose Butler of the Buffalo News,
who is enthusiastic over the Buffalo
Pan-American exposition, spoke of it
recently at the Annex in this fashion,
says the Chicago Times Herald: what
Blaine's Pan-American congress was in
the political world the Buffalo eXposi-
ton will be in the industrial 1t will
open May /, 1901, and it's design is to
exhibit the resources of this western
hemisphere.
I'VE have our site in Buffalo park,
whose lake connects with Niagara riv-
er Four hundred acres already have
been fenced in, and there will be near
ly 1000 eventually. The park is 10
minutes ride by electric car from the
center Of the city. The exposition will
be fortunate, inasmuch as it can util-
ize the enormous electric power gener-
ated at Niagara falls and all that cleo
tricity can be made to do will there be
exhibited.
"All the grand electric scenic effects
possible viii be massed for the eye to
behold. The mere volume of fluid pos
Sible to be used will amount to 10000
or 10000 horsepower, and inventions
which hitherto have failed for lack of
sufficient quantity of electric energy
can be put into operation. Music will
be a feature. Already the celebrated
bands of the world have been engaged
the Guard Republic of France,-the
Eaiser's Potsdam band, Dan Godfrey's
Guards band of England and our own
SoUsas. Machinery of all kinds, the
product of the American genius, will
have its place as well as those peculiar

THE buildings now being erected are
on the plans of the most celebrated
American architects. Congress has ap-
propriated $4,000 and its building is
nearing completion. Chicago had the

trasted hues. The Greeks colored their

Below is given the total vote cast at
each election for the past six years;
Election lettings.

There was the usual hurrah aid cele-
b-4lion Monday over the ection, which
always takes place whichever side wins.
The colored quarters, assisted by who
soever would, sang several selections in
front OF the CITY Hall while the returns
were being brought in. Their favorite Sc
Iections seemed to be Farewell, Farewell
my own true love" and Good bye my
honey. good bye" To whom the words
had reference is not known. The hilarity
was kept up until about midnight and all
over the city could be heard the noise Of
those who were not too dry TO yell.
There were numerous word combats
during the day, but SO far as is known
there was only one fstic combat, This
happened in front of the Court House
about the middle of the afternoon. John
Moore and Charles Blake did not think in
the same directions and so radical did
their thoughts become that they had TO
settle the dispute by blows. Blake, not
pleased with what Moore had uttered,
jumped from his carriage and onto Moore,
The latter is carrying bandage over his
left eye today.
The day was a tile rainy but it va
not rainy enough to be Democratic day

CHURCH WITH NEW CREED.
Organized In the LefYerts Park Dis
trict OF BROOKLYN.


A new church with a creed of its
own and composed of persons of yari-
Gus denominations has been organized
in the Letferts Park district of Brook
lyn, says the New York Sun. Its for
nation is the result of the services
held during the last two months under
the leadership of the Rev. James S.
Brockinton. The Brooklyn presbytery
some time age appointed Mr.. Brockin
ton to look up the possibilities of estah
fishing a Presbyterian church in LET
ferts Park. Several meetings were
held by the presbytery to form the
church, but as a quorum could not be
secured no definite steps were taken.
Mr.. Brockinton, however, continued
preaching, and finally the people decid
ed to form a church of their own. The
services until an edifice is built win be
held in Intrepid hall, New Utrecht ave
nue. near Sixty-seventh street The
organization will be known as the I'm
ion church, and Mr.. Brockinton has
been chosen as pastor.
The creed of the church as given out
is: God. our Father; Christ Jesus, the
Saviour of all who truly believe in
him; the Holy Spirit, author of regen
Grafton and sanctifcation, advocate;
the Bible. Gods word, authentic rec
ord, our guide; unity. Go8each all ma
tions, baptizing them in The name of
the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost. There shall be one fold
and one shepherd. \ cordial welcome
to all Gods people of every tribe and
nation"
The deacons of the church are
Messrs. Fish. Stahlnitz, Washburn and
Ryan.
Members of the presbytery are said
to be surprised at the organization of
the new church with a creed of its
own, and the Presbyterian Union For
Church Extension has appointed the
Rev. DR.. David Gregg and the Rev. Jo-
seph d. Burrell a committee to see if
the church cannot be made Presby-
terrain.

The colored men voted the straight Re-
publican ticket. A.few haIf-breeds, and
pap suckers" hobbled around with the
Democrats, and tried to think they were
doing something. The colored man who
will vote for party that is always perse-
cutting and robbing him of his liberties,
like the Democratic party is doing in Vn
gnia, and the Southern States, is either a
fool or lunatic. He has none Of the
grit of the fathers, about him, and is a
disgrace 10 his race.

The Demmies thought they could bluff
some one on Monday. They had a
Smart Alex who pretended that he want
ed to bet 500 90 on Cushwa. The Lam
bert brothers went for him but he acked
out by saying he would not bet less than
$500. The Lambert brothers pulled out
a roll to cover that sum, when the gentle
man again craw-6shed, and plead iun.
Some people have more mouth than
brains or money anyhow. When they
try to run in a bluff on the Lamberts,
they make a great mistake. Walter,
Louis and George never back down
They are not built Of such material.

TO OUR READERS.

~ OOH READER0.
With this issue OF THE HERALD, We
discontinue our editorial connection there.
with. One year ago we started to gather
up the disunited factions Of the party here
in Old Berkeley, and to knit them togeth-
er in one harmonious whole. We believe
that splendid success has resulted, anc
that the Republican party is again united
and anxious, ready and willing, to meet
the common foes, in political combat.
Now. business interest Of a personal
character, and pressing legal matters, de-
mand our undivided attention and care
and we have reluctantly decided to dis
continue our editorial occupation. This
we do with the ope that ADLER and better
minds may each week produce for the
ediication and strength of the party, edi-
torials that shall stir and instruct the
intelligent, generous readers Of THE
s HERALD.
During the past year we have
doubtless written some 'unkind articles,
and, perhaps, unnecessarily offended some
persons. We are indeed sorry if such has
been the case and ask that our thought
lessness may be excused and forgotten
for we have never desired to lose a single
friend, or hurt the feelings of a single
person. In the heat and passion Of warm
political discussion, one sometimes writes
unkndly of another, or needlessly assals
intentions and purposes as pure and good
as are his own. Therefore we sincerely
ope that any fault along this line, may
be forgotten.
OF course we are not asking forgiveness
for any political opinions written by US.
Believing as we do that the best interest of
hur people, as a State and Nation, will
ever be conceived by the retention in
power of the Republican party, we have
never. and shall never, hesitate to express
an opinion to that effect, and to unfllnch-
ingly and unhesitatingly maintain it, by
fair, open aud honorable argument. The
Republican party stands to day without
an equal as the friend of the home and
Preside, the upholder and vindlcator OF
the flag and of good government, and tie
shield and protection of labor in this
ton. 1t has never shirked responsI ILL
ty, and will never cease to exist, as long
as right and honor animate the human
soul, and liberty and good government
abide with men. 1t stands today for the
protection OF our industries and the de-
veloPment of our mines and farms and
factories; for an honest dollar and chance
to earn it; and grandest of all, for liberia
pension law, to aid the brave, gallant men
who in the 6oties, faced death and dis
ease, to save this nation from destruction
Such party can be trusted and will ever
stand Ike an even lasting bulwark against
incapacty, fraud, violence, and national
dishonor.
We sincerely hope the new manage
ment of THE HERALD may be crown, d
with success, and that the paper may
continue TO 60 into the homes Of the com
munity, teaching pure politics and dis
seminating news to all.
Verj Respectfully
