How Commissioner Peck Is Making Friends

One of the French papers remarked
the other day that Mr.. rdinand w.
Peck, the United States commissioners
general to the exposition of 1900, was
doing more inaugurating than .Presi-
dent Loubet himself. This, has been
literally true for the past fortnight.
And, from present appearances, when
sousa &. comes back from his triumphal
tour in Germany, his company will be
equally Indispensable at all exposition
functions. Peck has certainly made
himself known among his confreres.
While few persons could name at once
without reflection the English com
missioner, the German or the Belgian,
certainly nobody, least OF all the
French themselves, are in doubt as to
who heads the United States commits

sion. A few days ago Peck and party
from the. commission went down the
riven~ to Vincennes- to open formally
the United States section of the ma
chinery exhibit there. They took the
boat back. sharing it with Sousa's
band. When the boat had reached the
front of the German national palace
on the Seine front, Peck ordered the
boat to stop, and requested the band
to play the German national hymn.
The German building was being in
augurated, quietly and with moderate
enthusiasm, that afternoon. Sousa's
band played the hymn, and the Ger
man commissioner-general, the Ger
man ambassador to Paris, and various
other high functionaries of the Fran
co-German set here, appeared on the
balcony and bowed in a dignifed man
ner to the Americans in the middle of
the river. This did not satisfy Mr.
Peck, who seemed to think they ought
to show more spirit at the compliment
he was paying them. So he stopped
the boat at the nearest wharf, ordered
everybody of, and then the whole line,
headed by Sousa, marched to the very
doors of the German building, where
the 'sWacht am Rhein,'' & the :s.Marseil-
laise'' and American national hymns
were played over and over again. Up
to the appearance Of that boat III the
Seine nobody had been aware that
the German building was being @inaug-
urated. It. took the United Seates' en-
ergetic commissioner to advertise the
fact. The occasion called forth the
expected enthusiasm from the Ger
mans, and the evening papers spoke
of the occurrence as a pretty interna-
tional mpliment. s Mr.. Peck's point
was gained. ~.
The very last thing that Mr.. Peck
has inaugurated was the American
Corn Kitchen, which is now a reality,
and a very engaging one, to Judge by
the number Of visitors who climb the
/ two long flights Of stairs in the United
States agricultural annex, and taste
of the various dishes which the AM

In a little western town, originally
settled by Quakers, stands a church in
which the practice of seating men and
women apart still prevails. A few
years ago, a newcomer mustered cou-
rage to cross the aisle and sit beside
his bride. The second Sunday another
man committed the same offence, and
the third Sunday saw generous
sprinkling Of barred heads alongside
spring bonnets. The aged minister,
with outraged sense of propriety.

come upon him at unawares;; and let
his net that he hath hid catch him
SELF and minced no words in exposi-
ton. The men who had dared to stray
from established custom rebelled at
being eternally doomed for sitting be-
side their wives, and left the church in
body. The result is that today in
that little town stands two church
buildings, side by side, counterp parts in
size and paint and outlook; but in one
the sexes are divided by middle
isle. while In the other promiscuous
sitting prevails. The triyialities
which hinder Christian comfy may
