Brother Regarding 1t.
AMERICA THE ONLY HOME.
Extracts From an Interesting Letter Ex.
planning q Visit to the Paris Fair
and the State of Its
Completion.

Mr.. Philip Wild and Mrs. Wild, oi
22O North Rex street. who left this city
May End for Paris. to attend the expo.
sition, arrived there in safety, and 9
letter received from Mr.. Wild states
that they are enjoying excellent health
They are pleased with the innumerable
sights to be witnessed in the large city
Of Paris but they appear to be dis
pleased with the exposition thus far
The following extract is mada from q
letter received few days ago by Gott-
fried Wild, brother, who resides at 80.
East Second street:
I'VE visited the exposition, and also
took coach every morning to see the
city Of Paris. The city Is wonderful
but the exposition is fraud, because
It is not half finished yet. About one
half of the buildings are Just started
and the other half look like a second
hand store. The outside view Of the
exposition buildings and parks and sur
roundings are grand. There are two
parts Of the exposition, they being about
six kilometers apart. The best finished
buildings are about eight kilometers
around and about four kilometers in
diameter. The other part is much
smaller and not 30 fine looking, It con-
tanning mostly machinery, and things
there looked pretty tough to me. There
is nothing to see except boxes and ma
chinery, still to be set UP, SO you will
have an idea Of how much fun 1t would
be to see these places at the prerent
time on pleasure. think when things
are all finished once they will be grand
sight 70 see.
1--WE intend leaving in a day or two for
our old home, and II we have time to
spare will stop again in Paris on our
way home. You bet America Is the
only home for me, and don't you forget
1t. II you are among these people here,
they will only ask you for more money
and not give you anything for It. and
you will get very tired Of them.
1--WE visited different departments and
found everything in a terrible condition,
and card over a doorway says: "pas
pres" (not finished.) Major vignos and
Mr.. Maudru, Of Maximo. we found in the
American building. We were glad to
see them. That was the principal build
ing on the ground. Mr.. vignos said
1t will take from five to six weeks un-
til the building is completed. That will
give you an idea Of the exposition at the
present time and explain everything
as to how long it will take to see the
exposition"
The letter received was dated May 81.

suffered a stroke of paralysis and
that his entire left side was paralyzed.
The doctor reported to the court the
situation and also ventured the opinion
that 1t was doubtful II the Juror
would be able to get out again for some
time.
The case had been at a standstill all

issues in the suit should be given to
eleven men and that the result should
should be the same as though there
were twelve men in the box.

address Mr.. Smith began on the final
argument in the suit.

married January 16, 1900.
The defense In the second case against

continuance of that case but the mat
ter has not yet been taken up by Judge
Taylor.
Judge Taylor will try the second case
but new jury will have to be secur-
ed.
