AMERICAN. UP rU-DATE METHODS AS APPLIED TO
 MODERN DAIRYING-A MODEL DAIRY
 IN OPERATION.
 The Nj odel Dairy building at the Ex- position is situated in the northeast sec tion of the grounds. It is near the Sta- dium and is separated from the Agricul- ture Building by the Grand Canal. Fronting on the Mall, it has . width of sixty feet, extending back toward the Stadium one hundred and fifty feet. It is two stories in height having balcony on three sides. Staff will be used in the construction of this building on the same general plan of all the Exposition build. inge, the decorations differing only in emblems and designs appropriate to the subject.
 The upper part of the building will be devoted to restaurant purposes and the lower portion to the exhibition of dairy products which will include an extensive collection of modern machinery and apparatus.
 An extensive mechanical refrigerating plant will supply certain uniform tenn peratures in the different divisions of a glass refrigerator case extending through the centre of the building. This case will be eight feet high and twenty feet wide in which will be displayed the different products of the dairy. Some, such as cheese, will pc shown in process of cur- ing while others will be merely preserved.
 Apparatus and machinery ot all kinds for use in and about the dairy will be displayed about the sides of the building where they will be ac sessible for inspec- tion and the application of p,wer.
 One of the most interesting exhibits of the whole Exposition will be given in connection with this department. MI Converse, who has charge of the dairy. ing and live stock exhibits, has arranged to conduct model dairy on the grounds, Tests will be made under favorable con ditions of eight or I inc fferent breeds of dairy cows. These te ts will be con. ducsed with the utmost fairness with animals furnished for the purpose by the different associations. Experienced men will have charge of the feeding and general care of the COWS. Such persons will be without per onal financial interest in any to bias their views or actions. The tests will be conducted over a period of six months under the best conditions to bring out the good qualities of all without forcing. All feed will be an- slyzed for nutrition and weighed as fed, and a careful record kept. Results reached by this method will be valuable as we'll as interesting.
 As in all departments of the Exposi- tion, that of dairying will be up to date in apparatus and methods and educational in its scope. Anything new or valuable will be carefully illustrated for the bene- fit of tho general public. Bacteriology will be . feature. Advanced dairymen study bacteria with as much zeal as the medical scientist though with a very d ff,rent object.

A FIJI MILLIONAIRE.
Murdered by Natives Leaves an Estate
of O,OOo,OOO-Many Heirs.

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 27.-Evansville
heirs of Edgar P. Thompson, owner
and ruler of Vartu Vara, one of the
Fiji islands, who left an estate valued
at ten million dollars, have been noti-
fled of his DEATH They are Benjamin
G. Thompson and Mrs. Kate R. Thomp-
son, a nephew and niece. They inherit
one-twelfth of the estate.
The reports which have just been re-
ceived through the missionaries state
that Thompson and his wife were muir
dered in a rebellion of the natives.
In 1862 Edgar Paul left his home and
nothing was heard from him by his
relatives until he sent them news of
his whereabouts from the Fiji islands,
where he was engaged in growing cot
ton. A large amount of money was
made during the civil war and later
Mr.. Thompson bought the island of
Nartu Nara and raised cocoanuts and
cocoa fiber. He was very successful
and became a man of vast means.
Several years ago he married a Malay
missionary, but of the union no chill
dren were born. He virtually became
chief and ruled the natives.
The information of his death comes
from a missionary on a, contiguous ISL
and, with at present no particulars
His estate there and in America is val
ued at $10,0O0,O0O and it will be divided
among his relatives in this country
They are r. S. Thompson, of Spring.

chairman Of the Ohio state and national
Union Reform executive committee;
Mrs. Constance K. Harris, of Fresno,
Cal, and Mrs. w Barg Casey, of Mt.
Vernon, Ill, brother and sisters of Ed
gar Paul. who will each receive one
fourth of the estate, while the remain
ing fourth will be divided among Mrs.
Dr. H J. Walters, of Chicago, and Ben
C. and Miss Kate r. Thompson, of Ev-
ansville. Active steps through the me-
dunn of the English consulate have
been taken for the possession of the
property.

The brokers came to the Usage Ma
ton about two weeks ago with an

GRAY MAY RETIRE.
Resignation of Supreme Court
Justice EXpected-A Place
For Griggs.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 27.-Mr Jus
tice Gray is expected to send his res,
ignation as a member of the United
States supreme court to President Nc
Kinley this week. It is very probable
that the receipt of Justice Grays res
ignation will be quickly followed by the
nomination of Attorney General John
w. Griggs as his successor. Justices of
the supreme court of the United States
are privileged to resign upon reaching
the age of 20, with full pay for life.
Justice Gray will be q years of age
on March "a, and has served since his
appointment by President Arthur on
December 10, 1881.
He is five years older than either the
chief justice or Justice Harlan, and
from seven to seventeen years older
than his other associates. The duties of
the office being arduous and exacting
for man of his age, there will be no
surprise al the White House, it is said,
if his resignation is sent to the preSi-
dent within the next few days In this
event it is pretty we'll agreed upon
that the name of the present attorney
general will be sent to the senate for
confirmation as his successor. Mr..
Griggs will be 81 years of age on July
10 next, and has served in the cabinet
for a little more than year, having
been appointed to fill the place left
vacant by the elevation of Justice Nc
Kenna to the supreme court bench.
At the same time the name of Judge
William R. Day, formerly secretary Of
state is not overlooked
1t is no secret that the president has
long had him in mind as a candidate
for a seat in the highest tribunal of
the country.
These two names are the only ones
mentioned at this time. Mr.. Griggs'
withdrawal from the list of possible
vice presidential nominees is said to be
the outcome of his ambition for a su-
preme court appointment.
While the officials who are close to
the president decline to discuss these
rumors concerning the judiciary and
cabinet changes, there is no denial of
the statement that Mr.. Griggs is likely
to receive the appointment to the SUI
preme court bench.

NO GOVERNMENT NOW.
Kentucky Will Worry Along Without
ANY Head.

Frankfort KY, Feb. 27-The state
contest board has awarded certificates
of election to all of the Democratic con-
testants for minor state officers I'm
mediately afterward the contestants
were sworn in and repaired to the state
house in a body where they made
formal demand on the Republican in
cumbentS for possession of the offices,
but the demands were not acceded to.
Clerk Of the Court of Appeals Shackel-
ford administered the oath to all con-
testants OF all offices other than lieu
tenant governor and governor.
Immediately after the swearing in of
the Democratic officers injunctions
were filed by each of the new officials
seeking to Gust the present incumbents
from office and enjoining them from
exercising the rights, duties and pre-
negatives now appertaining thereto.
The installation of the Democratic Off
Gals will have the effect of tieing up
tightly every branch of the state gov
eminent pending a decision of all the
contests by the courts. From now until
then the state will be practically with
out a state government.
Auditor Coulter sent out notices to
all county clerks, circuit clerks, SheriffS
and trustees of jury fund that he had
been elected and qualified auditor
and now, acting as such warned them
to pay over no public moneys to any
other than himself, upon penalty of
prosecution on their official bonds.
The principal grounds set out in the
report for the finding in favor of the
Democratic contestants are:
First, because of military interfer-
ence in Louisville, on account of which
the election there should be thrown out
entirely; the alleged illegal action of
Judge Toney in granting an injunction
allowing Brown inspectors inside the
polls, and also that Judge Evans of the
federal court, contributed to the result
by a threatening charge to the United
States grand jury. It is charged that
oh fO no
was a part of a conspiracy and on this
point the report of the committee as
serts that in charging the grand jury
as he did before the election this federal
judge clearly implied that infractions
of the law were to be committed by the
Democrats. His action after delivering
this charge in adjOurning the grand
jury until after the election was clear
~ an attempt, the report says, to in
timidate Democratic voters.
The votes of Johnson, Martin and
Magoffin counties were thrown out by
the commissioners on account of the
use of tissue ballots in those counties.

FINANCIERS ARE BUSY.
Preparing to Exchange Old Bonds for
New Two Per Cents.

New York, Feb. ga special to the
Journal of Commerce from Washing
ton, says:
The arrangements for issuing the new
2 per cent bonds cannot be actually car
ried out until after the currency bill
becomes law. This will cause a delay
of two or three months in the actual
issue of the bonds, but temporary re-
ceipts of certificates will be given to
applicants for exchange, pending the
engraving and printing of the final doc
uments. Some informal conferences
have already been held between Secre-
tary Gage, Assistant Secretary Wander
lip, Treasurer Roberts and Chief John
son, of the bureau of engraving and
printing, in regard to the form and de-
vices of the new bonds, but it was not
possible under the law to do any actual
work until after final action by both
houses of congress.
The proposed substitution of receipts
or certificates for the actual bonds win
cause no particular embarrassments,
except that such receipts Will not be ne
gOtiable. This will cause little trouble
to the banks, because most of their new
bonds will remain permanently on de-
post with the treasury as the guaran-
tee of circulation and public money in
their hands
1t is not yet known how largely prl-
vate owners of bonds will offer for ex-
change, but it is not supposed that they
win be offered largely by those who do
not propose to retain the bonds.
y circular will be sent to the banks
holding bonds as soon as the gold
standard bill becomes a law, advising
them of the terms upon which ex-
changes can be made and enclosing
blanks to be filed Every exchange will
afford profit to the government, because
of the saving in interest from the date
of exchange to the maturity of the old
bonds, independently of the low rate Of
interest after the maturity of the old
bonds.
The plan will be adopted for the first
time of Issuing registered bonds for $780,
600 for the use of banks having bonds
on deposit IN the treasury. 1t is pro-
bable that the holders Of the registered
bonds of the old issues will be allowed
to obtain the new per cents in coupon
form if they desired.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-The committee ap-
pointed at the last session of the Ma
tional Educational association to plan

The subcommittee composed of DR..
William r. Harper, Prof. N. NJ. Butler

by the large universities where the
valuable laboratories, department data
and the contents of the Smithsonian IN
stitute- may be available for the stu
dents of the principal colleges by means
of special courses. The government, it
is said will not be asked for an appro-
priation to carry out the plan.

PRICE OF WHITE PAPER.
Newspaper Publishers Demand an In
quiry by Congress.

At the meeting of the American
Newspaper Publishers association just
closed in New York, there was a very
general discussion of the paper queS-
ton Special reference was made to
the recent advances in the price of pa
per used by newspaper publishers.
AS a result Of the discussion the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The price of printing paper
used by newspapers in the United States
has been arbitrarily increased in price
from so to 100 per cent, without reason
or warrant to be found in the conditions
of the industry itself; and
Whereas, 1t is the common belief
that this increase is due to the work
ings of a trust; therefore be it
Resolved, That the American News
paper Publishers association, represent
ing in this case not only its own menu
bers but the $4,000 newspapers of the
United States, calls upon congress to
make inquiry by means of a special
committee into the conditions above de-
scribed, to the end that suitable legisla
ton may be provided to remedy this
condition of affairs, in the interest of
the best source of public information
provided for the people, tOwit. the news
paper press, whose interests the found
ders of the Republic held in the high
est regard.
THE attention of congress is directed
to five bills now in the hands Of the
ways and means committee, not neces-
sarily to aid the passage of any of them
specifically, but as evidence of a great
demand for some form of remedial leg
islation, to which the inquiry we re-
quest would be preliminary. We be
lieve that the entire agitation against
trusts presents no more concrete exam
pie than this, and your petitioners, re-
lying upon the desire of congress to leg
islate in the interests of the people, be-
lieve you will accept the opportunity to
make this inquiry in the spirit in which
it is demanded.
1.-THE newspaper, it is fair to state.
unlike most other forms of industry,
sells at fixed price. and has no means
of putting the increased cost on to the
| consumer. In many instances it means
| the complete confiscation of profits. and
