ton. On his return to Boston he wrote
to an official of the Exposition as fol,
lows: II was indeed sorry not to have
seen you when in Buffalo, but did see
the Exposition and was astonished bp

Buildings Going I'D.

The magnificent buildings which are
to house the exhibits of the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition at Buffalo next sum
mer are fast progressing toward COM
pletion and will soon be ready for the
collections which are on the way from
all quarters Of the American continent.
The scene upon the grounds of the Ex-
position, in the northern part Of the
city, including part OF the famous Della
ware Park, is busy one, and every
day sees some definite progress made
In the construction work. Conditions
have been very favorable to rapid
work, and the Pan-American Exposi-
tiOn bids fair to break the record in
the matter OF swift construction Of Ex-
position buildings and their entire COM
pletion before the time arrives to open
the gates to the general public.

May 81 he captured the yeomanry and
three days later took in $50 highland
ers with a convoy OF wagons. June 2
he cut the railway in Roberts rear 100
miles south Of johannesburg and in a
days operations destroyed the track
uorthward for 30 miles.
Turning southwark again De Wet
captured the crew of a construction
train and also the Fourth Derbyshires
His old enemy Of the Wepener cam
paign, General Rumble, was coming up
the railroad and, marching to meet
him, the raider took in another con-
struction train and destroyed three
culvertS on the railroad. On July 2 he
fought with Rumble at Winburg, then
dashed so miles east almost to the bor-
ders of Basutoland. Rumble start
ed after the nimble Boer from the
north, and Hunter moved up from the
south, but De Wet broke through Run
dies lines and reached Lindley again,
east of Kroonstadt. Oyertaken at
Lindley and his force partly dispersed,
captured n supply train and 100 high
landers and after cutting the telegraph
and track pushed northwest to ReitZ-
burg on the Vaal.
Meanwhile the British were tireless
in their efforts to head off De Wet.
General Colville, whose division twice
met with disaster at the hands of the
raider, was recalled home and threats
made that others would share a like
fate unless the thing was stopped.
But De Wet plunged across the Vaal
and broke into Methuen's lines on the
railway in the western Transvaal
After rounding the British position at
Ventersdorp the raider pushed north as
far as Rustenburg, 40 miles from Pre-
toria. Methuen turned his whole force
against De Wet, but had no better sue
cess than Roberts had had in the
Free State, where at one time in July
$4,000 troops were trying to hem in the
raider. Forced westward by Methu-
ems swarming detachments De Wet
entered the bush veldt and turned
southwark, once more to cross the
Eaal and penetrate to the mountains
Of the Free State beyond KrooEstadt.
Making Heilbron his headquarters, he
rallied a respectable force, and, al
though Lord Roberts sent three bri-
gades to entrap him, he again slipped

That of Foods and Their AccessorieG,
Including Pan-AmerIcan Spices.
A very dainty pamphlet has been is
sued by the Division of Foods and Their
Accessories of the Pan-American EX-
position at Buffalo. The food work at
the PanAmerican comes under the
general department of Horticulture,
Forestry and Food Products, Of which
Mr.. Frederic w. Taylor is superintend-
ent. Mr.. G.. Edward Fuller, as assistant
superintendent, has entire charge Of
the Division of Foods and Their Ac-
cessories, and he has prepared himself
for unusual work in this line by spe-
cial travel and study such as no one
else probably ever undertook with the
same object. This pamphlet calls the
attention Of jobbers of teas, coffees
and spices and all dealers in food prod
ucts generally and their accessories to
the interesting, useful and educational
work in their lines of business which
is going on for the Pan-American Ex-
position of 1901.
The assistant superintendent, Mr..
Fuller, says: "In the far east there are
foods and condiments Of which we are
almost utterly ignorant here, and one
of the aims of the food exhibit will be
to educate the people Of the western
hemisphere to the cultivation Of the
products which flourish in the east. 1t
will be my aim to show how simple
and profitable it would be, for instance,
to grow in the West Indies what Is
grown in the East Indies. The climate
and soil conditions are remarkably
similar, and the conditions are favor

BILE that the soil and the climate Of the

division moved in toward Wepener
from the railroad on the west, and then
Lord Roberts was forced to send
troops out and clear Rundle's fiank-in

attacks.
All this time the British dispatches
were filed with the brilliant plans on
foot to surround and capture the Beers
who had surrounded and menaced the
capture of Brabant. But the mystery
was all solved when it turned out that
the Boer leader at Wepener was De

The history of Wepener may be read

who had been held at BlOemfOntein by
the guerrilla until a South African
winter was on, finally marched north,
only to find De Wet in his rear again
after crossing the Vaal.
1t was plain that the Beers had aban-
doned the idea Of stubbornly defending

Slater, was not among the pacifed
burghers who bowed before the British
