Rural Free Delivery.
Washington, Jan. 17.-Immediately
after the reading of the journal the
house Tuesday went into committee of
the whole and took up the considera-
ton of the urgent deficiency appro-
priation bill. 1t was agreed that gen.
eral debate on the bill should continue
throughout Tuesday, and that
to-day the bill should be read for
amendment under the five minute
rule. Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the
appropriations committee, opened the
debate with general explanation Of
the items in the bill. Mr.. Cannon was
asked by Mr.. Loud (Cal.) about the
item OF $15O,O0O for rural free delisery
and replied that it had been found
that 100000 had been appropriated
for the present fiscal year. That
money had been largely expended and
unless this appropriation were made
much os the service now in operation
would have to be discontinued. Mr..
Cannon frankly confessed that the
manner of the expenditure of this
money did not meet his approval. He
believed it the duty of the executive
to cut the garment according to the
legislative appropriation. ...
Mr.. McRae (Ark.) said that the rev.
enucs this year would not exceed
5000, 900, 900, and the estimates aggre-

THE Ice HARVEST. The ice men
are anxiously looking for some more
freezing weather as the ice crop is
not nearly harvested. Only one-fourth
of the crop is up. The river raised
and made thin ice at the edges so
that it was impossible to get at the
center of the river where the ice
could be cut. Lon Mobley attempted
to get horse to the field Monday.
The animal broke through the ice and
was barely saved from drowning.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made. but a great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr. Major
USES the best materials ever discovered and
other manufacturers do not use them be-
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that One of
the elements of his cement costs s.. Is pound
and another costs g. IS a gallon, while large
share of the SO-called cements and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more than
SiXteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citr1c
acid, and in some cases, altered slightly in
color and Odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
| twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
| tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
! it his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is dOubtly true in view of the fact
| that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
amounts to over $4,000 a mouth Throughout
| the country. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
| offhand advice from druggist.
! If you are at all handy (and you will be
! likely to find that you are n good deal more so
| than you magine) you can repair your rub

sition from the south will enter the
grounds on Lincoln parkway, broad,
beautiful, shaded boulevard. Crossing
the triumphal bridge, which will be
one of the artistic beauties of the
grounds, the visitors enters the esplan-
ade, an immense open space which will
accommodate 250OO0 people and IN
which it is designed to carry out vari-
Gus ceremonies during the exposition,
at which a great concourse Of people
may attend.
The visitor is now fairly within the
grand court formed by the main group
of exposition buildings. The court is of
the shape of an inverted Il. The ap-
proach, fore court and bridge are about
1000 feet in length, 300 feet wide. The
main court is 1000 feet long, 800 feet
wide, and the transverse court, across
the esplanade, is LOO feet from east
to west. On either side of the trium-
phal bridge are the mirror lakes. These
are part of the grand canal, which
completely encircles the great group of
buildings, and upon which the visitor
may ride in one of the many electric
launches or take more leisurely trip
In a Venetian gondola. The canal is
lined with young trees and banked with
grass on its outer edge. Picturesque
bridges cross 1t at many points.
Standing on the esplanade and fac
ing north the great group of buildings
at the right, at the extreme east end
of the transverse court, are those of
the federal government. The main

incandescent electric lamps, the dis
tribution being SO perfect that there
will be no shadows. COlors will be eX-
tensively employedto to produce fantastic
effects. The huge steel tower, $50 feet
high, which stands at the north end of
the court of the fountains, will be used
in the production of extraordinary cleo
electric waterfall thirty feet wide and
of seventy feet descent, from a niche
in the tower. The tower itself Is of i'm
posing design and intricate workman
ship. The many foundations in the
great basin of the court will be made
beautiful at night by means of electric
lights of all colors. The very extraor-
dinary electrical features of the expo
sition are made possible by the fact
that electric power from the largest
power plant in the world, at Niagara
Falls, Is to be provided in unlimited
quantities. This power plant is only
half an hours ride from Buffalo and Is
one of the great sights for visitors to
the exposition to include in their timer
ary.
Opposite the court of the fountains
the the two big buildings of the exposi-
tion, the machinery and transportation
building on the west and the manufac-
lures building on the east. These are
each 500 by $50 feet and each has
beautiful tropical court with an
aquatic pool in the center.

feet above the main floor and is sur
mounted by statue of Victory, twenty

100 feet square are west of the main
building $50 feet on the north and
south lines of the main structure.
Curved colonnades connect the smaller
buildings with the greater, forming a
spacious semi-circular court opening
to the west. The government exhibits
will include the aquariums and ichthy-
illogical collection of the United States
fish commission and extensive collec-
tive exhibits from the Philippines, Por-
to Rico and Hawaii.
At the far western end of the broad
transverse court is the horticultural
building, 220 feet square, tianked on
the north by the graphic arts building
and on the south by the forestry and
mines building. They are connected by
circular arcades, forming broad court
similar TO that inclosed by the govern
ment group. Behind the arcades are
the Conservatives. The Esplanade is
made beautiful with fountains. suuken

Immediately north of the Esplanade

right Is the chronological building and

AMERICAN PocKETKNlvEs
Greater Proportion of Those Sold Here
Now Made in This CountrH

Greater Proportion of Those Sold Here
Now Made in This Country.
OF the millions of pocketknives annu-
ally sold in this country probably IS
per cent. of the jackknives and other
heavy varieties are now made here and
this proportion Is increasing; while
taking the total sales more than so per
cent. of the knives in value are now
made here, and this proportion also is
increasing. Fine penknives are import
ed from England and Germany; the
cheapest jackknives, cheaper and poor
er than any made here, come from Ger
many.
Pocketknives have been made in this
country for many years, and there are
now here some scores of factories for
their production. The newest branch
Of the manufacture here is that of fine
penknives, which have been made in
this country only about forty years,
and have come into their present large
and extended use only within about
twenty years. There are penknives Of
English make that have been made con-
tinuously under the same names for
more than hundred years; so that the
making of such knives in this country
is something comparatively modern
The American penknife. if not now ac-
tually the best in the world, is at least
the equal in quality, style and finish Of
any produced anywhere
Pocketknives are made in almost end
less variety. One American concern
makes 700 different sorts, which vary
in kind, shape, size. number of blades,
kind of handle, style and size of bolster,
and so on. The best pocketknives have
hand-forged blades. Great as is the
variety of pocketknives now made here,
a still greater variety is made in Eu-
rope, where the industry has been
longer established and patterns and
designs have accumulated; and the
greater number of the odd knives, con-
tanning corkscrews and various other
implements, still come from there.
A fine penknfe of the best quality
and handsomely mounted is still more
or less Of luxury; it might cost at re-
tail anywhere from 81 to So or $4. One
bladed jackknives can be bought at
wholesale for seventy-tive cents a doz-
en-; fine penknives run up to $50 dozen.

tween the agricultural and electricity
buildings and beyond them are the
manufacturers building and ten acres
devoted TO live stock exhibits. Head
quarters of all the officials of the expo
sition will be in the service building
which Is close to the machinery and
transportation building, one of the most
important structures of the exposition.
The massive steel tower divides the
court of the fountains from the Plaza.
1t stands in large aquatic basin and
picturesque bridge enables the yis-
itor to reach it from the Plaza. In the
tower at the height of seventy feet, is
large restaurant. There are prom
enade floors at various heights and a
balcony near the summit, from which
n bird's-eye view of the exposition, the
city, Lake Erie, Niagara River, and
open country may be obtained. All the
floors are reached by means of eleva-
tors.
The Plaza is 500 feet by $50 feet
Standing at the tower building, at the
right, is the stadium building, 341 feet
long by % feet wide, with towers 164
feet high. This ornate building forms
the entrance to the athletic field or
stadium, where 25,000 people may be
seated to witness the high-class ath-
letic contests to be provided. The ath-

the greatest ever given In America.
