Santiago. Cuba, April 1G.-The recep-

the Efforts of the white and black par
ties to obtain the first recognition. The

the authorities who had directed its
suppression, sent Il tug 10 meet the

Paris, April 14,-President Loubet, as
he stood in the presidential tribune,
surrounded by the members of his
Cabinet and his household. opened the
exposition with these words
Il declare the exposition of 1900
open"
Thus was the Paris exposition of
1900 designed to celebrate the worlds
entry into the new century, inaugurat-
ed, and shouts of "Nive Loubet." and
"Nive La Republique' rose from his
1000 hearers, while silk hats We're
waved in the air. The crowds outside
the hall took up the cheering and the
exposition was open.
The spectacle inside the Sale Des
Fetes was brilliant with color and il

At the United States pavilion many
guests We're assembled, and they
cheered while the Stars and Stripes
We're dipped on one flagpOle and the
French tri-color was lowered from an
other, when the presidential party

The unfinished condition of the expo
sition on Inauguration day is regreta-
bic, and perhaps misleading. 1t must
be borne in mind that this is only Il
passing phase. and on its completion
within three weeks or n month from
now the exposition will indlsputably
be the most attractive and magnificent
yet seen.
Americans, especially will be proud
of their country's display mt the worlds
fair, for the United States stands sec
ond only to France herself in number
of exhibitors. which treble those Of
any foreign country.
The following is table Of exhibitors
which bespeaks eloquently of Ameri-
can enterprise: France 10000: United
States, 6,564; Belgium, 900: Germany,
1900: Italy. 1000; Russia. 1,50O; Scan
dinavia, 1,4OO. Austria. 1000; Great
Britain, coo; the British colonies, 600.
America has three times the number
of exhibitors that France had Mt the
Worlds Fair in Chicago She occupies
329,O52 square feet with her forty
seven distinct exhibition spaces, thirty
three In the main exposition grounds,
fourteen in the Nlncennes annex, in
cluding the ground covered by our
eagle surmounting the national pavil-
ion, the Quai dOrsay. American en-
terprise, however. is not only shown in
the size of her representation. but also
in the preparedness of her installation
as compared with that of most of the
other countries. and 1t can be safely
said that but for the dilatoriness of the
French workmen and methods, the
United States exhibits would have
been exposed in their show cases to-
day.

pany says that twelve mills in the con
stituent companies have been shut
down. They are Mt Pittsburg. Cleve-
land, Joliet. Waukegan. Illinois; De-
Kalb, Illinois; Newcastle, Indiana, and
Anderson, Indiana.
Mr.. Gates said the cause of the clos
Ing down of the mills was over-produc-
ton. He was unable 10 state when the
mills would resume operations. as they
first would have TO ascertain the ex-
tent of the ovcr-production. When
asked as to his Views as to the trade
situation and outlook. Mr.. Gates stat
ed that the shut down Of the mills was
the best evidence Of the current situn-
tlon.
Mr.. Gates made another statement
later, In which he said the twelve mills
which had been closed had daily ca
paclty of from 5000 TO 1900 tons. He
said slack business was an additional
reason for the suspension of opera
tions. The best information Is that the
mills will be closed Indefinitely Four
thousand men. boys and girls will be
affected by the shut down.

four per cent. We use Il cable of

TO CORRECT BAsHFuLNEss,
Think Not of Yourself, but of What You
Doing.


"The bashful young girl must stop
thinking about herself" writes Mar
garet l.. Sangster in the April Ladies'
Home Journal. II heard the other
day of man, n college student, who
went to visit his sister, college
student also. He was the one man. as
1t happened, in the dining-room with
500 girls, and he had occasion to- cross
the room with their bright eyes beam
ing on him with curiosity and interest.
Said my informant: The boy was
completely at his ease. You would
have thought his sister the only girl
present Evidently the young mans
mother had brought him up in SEN
sible way and he was free from that
bane of comfort, self-consciousness. 1t
is hard for very difiident person
to be free from awkwardness, and
very acute distress and much humilia-
tion may be the results of an extreme
shyness. Try not to think how you
look. what impression you are making.
what sort Of gown you have on. Do
not let your mind dwell on yourself.
but think of what you are to do, and Of
making others pleased and happy.
Once you are free from self-conscious-
ness, bashfulness will trouble you no
more"
