along since the opening day. Of course
all this does not mean that there is
nothing to see. On the contrary all
visitors from now on may be sure OF
getting their moneys worth. All the
side shows are in working order and
most of them are worth at least one
visit. STILL it seems rather strange
that installing work is still going on
while the exposition has been open to
visitors for nearly two months. 1t
seems possible that the fair may be
kept open for some time after Nov
5th, which is the date now set for
closing. Of course as there are no
means for heating the buildings it will
be impossible to continue the fair after
cold weather has set in.
The American commission and every
body connected Herewith has been
greatly wrought up of late over the
scandals which somebody has been
trying to stir up in regard to the spend
ing Of the congressional appropriations.
The first news of this kind appeared
some time dSO UuI Lie OpOSCu VI OCuct~
tor Jones in congress called forth an
emphatic denial from Commissioner
General Peck The latter gave a
statement to the papers in which he
declared that all money had been spent
carefully and economically and that
Major Bracket, the secretary and
disbursing agent of the commission,
stood ready to account for every cent
that has been spent thus far. Mr.. Peck
pointed out in his statement that the
United States exhibits owing to the
distance which separated them from
the exposition were obliged to undergo
several reshippings besides the voyage
across the Atlantic and thus the ex-
penses incurred were greatly augment
ed. Besides this the United States has
found difficulty in getting sufficient
space and so has been obliged to erect
seven separate buildings to serve as
annexes to it's regular exhibit spaces.
All this costs money and the statement
assures Americans that no money has
been wasted and that none will be.
| Another scandal which has caused
considerable talk is that in regard to
| the buying Of exhibit spaces by ex-

RULES FOR EXPOSITION VISITORS,

In view of the recent accidents on
the exposition grounds in Paris it
would be well to bear several simple
rules in mind that might, if carried
out faithfully, have a tendency to
prevent serious mishaps. For instance:
Do not walk under anything. This
applies not only to ladders, but to
bridges and roofs.
Do not step on any structure that
might fall. Keep out of galleries and
off of bridges.
Do not lean against seemingly
ses:d wal S. T.ey may be paper
mache.
Do not stray too far from the en-
trance gates. In case of panic you
would want to be among the first out.
Do not eat anything on the grounds.
You will stand a much better chance
of squeezing through the crowd on an
empty stomach.
Always carry life-preserver with
you so that in case of fire you can put
it on quickly and paddle yourself out
into the river.
Ii you are determined to show your
recklessness by venturing into any OF
the big exhibit halls, be sure to note
where the nearest exit doorway is, and
then go and stand in it.
By observing these simple rules you
will undoubtedly be able to prolong
your life, even if you don't see much.

BENEATH HIS FLAG"

No costly shaft stands DER the head
OF him who fought and fell;
No rose is planted DER the dead
To breathe a perfumed knell
No words describe, in marble tongue,
His death upon the crag;
His only praise in wood is sung
''He died beneath his flag.
No costly shaft could fill the place
Of that small board of pine;
No grander words can letters trace
Than those that form the line.
He may be friend, he may be foe,
Who fell upon the crag,
1t matters not, we only know
He died beneath his flag.
-Bide Dudley.

l rter and Mr.. A. S. Capehart, di-
rector of liberal arts. After the
speeches the invited guests adjourned
to the buffet for refreshments. During
this interval the linotypers were busy
casting into type the speeches which
had just been made and in few min
utes the press was turning out To-
page papers which told the assembled
crowd all that had happened less than
an hour before. The first three copies
of the paper were sealed in envelopes
and, each accompanied by an affidavit,
we're taken to the officers of the COM
mission from where they will be sent
to the United States.

red later in the week was that of the
section of liberal arts in general, of
which section A. S.. Capehart is also
the director. This contains the ex-
hibits of pianos, typeWriters, surgical
instruments, ETC., and was inaugurated

ner. After the speeches the guests
walked down to the other end OF the
same building where the exhibit OF
chemical industries is located. Here
they stepped and the usual speech
making followed This completed the
days inaugurating. But that does not
mean that everything is finished. Far
from it. The electrical and machinery
exhibits at the Champs de Mars will be
launched next Wednesday.
Last night occurred the first official
fete de mutt which consisted of a grand
illumination of all the buildings and
of the electrical fountain or Chateau
d'Eau. This is to celebrate the latest
Official completion of the exposition.
At a conservative estimate this makes
the eleventh official completion and
there is plenty of excuse for more as
some nations are not really under
way with their exhibits yet. In the
palace of machines Great Britain is
installing three heavy engines but as
yet none of them is ready to have the
steam turned on and it is a cinch that
they will not be ready before July. 1t
is really quite wonderful the way the
whole affair has leisurely dragged

hibitors. A short article appeared
some time ago in the Paris edition of
the New York Herald which said that
American exhibitors had been sys-
tematically bled by being forced to pay
high sums for their exhibit spaces.
This charge has also been denied and
Mr.. Peck says that it probably originat
ed from some Americans who were dis
appointed at not being able to secure
space. The number of applications
for space was so great that there was
not enough space to go around and
thus some were left out.
The political atmosphere has again
become a little clearer after the dis
turbances resulting from the municipal
elections and the attempts to over
throw the cabinet. The nationalist or
opposition party gained a decided vic
| tory in the municipal elections but not
enough to give them a majority in the
city council. Encouraged by their
partial success they made an attempt

with discussion on the revival of the
! Dreyfus affair Some letters have
/ been written which claimed that
Cernuschi, the expert who gave such
sensational testimony on the last day
| of the Dreyfus trial, was a fraud.
! These letters are somewhat shrouded
in mystery but at any rate the opposi-
! ton accused tne government of know
/ ing of their existance and in this way
| trying to revive the affair. Count Boni
de Castellane made a speech inter-
pellating the government on these and
other subjects and in the vote which
followed the cabinet was upheld by a
comfortable majority That is to say,
the chamber voted that it was satisfied
with the war minister's reply to the
Interpolation. Since then the minister
of war, General de Galiffet, has resign
ed owing to ill-health, and the
nationalist are now claiming a
| victory. However, it appears that the
cabinet, which has now reached the
ripe old age of over year, will con-
tinue to age and ripen until the close OF
the exposition. 1t is futile to predict
what will occur after that. @. l..
