LOCATION AND SPACE.
Paris has been in the exposition bus
mess for some time. Over 30 years
ago was the first, and since then have
been two others before this. Two
things the wise Frenchmen have
earned-accessibility TO the people and
cheapness of entry. Thus, right in the
very heart of Paris, hard by the
Champs Elysee, the greatest boulevard
of the world, and along the banks of
the River Seine-the toy brook of
French Kings-is collected the Univer-
sal Exposition of 1900. The Champ
de Mars is down stream and is Gov
cred with buildings that in architec-
turaI decoration far SurpaSS our Chi
cagO Worlds Fair. Just opposite is
the plot of ground called the '"TrOca-
dero." which contains dozens of build
ings representing on one side the
French colonies, and on the other side
the colonies of other Nations. This is
connected with Champ de Mars by a
bridge, and the magnificent Eiffel
Tower looks down from a distance
twice as high as the Washington Mon
ument. Up stream a half mile away
is the plot of ground called the Es-
planade des Invalides. Here is the
group of buildings containing varied
industries, and opposite are the two
great palaces of beautiful paintings
and sculpture. Across the river is the
Alexander III. Bridge, which cost
three million dollars. Connecting the

Palace of Social Economy and Con-
crosses. The building is tive stories
high, simple Ill construction and ad-
mirably lighted. The second story
contains halls for congresses upon
every subject common 10 thoughtful
minds except religion, which the
French, aware of their own agitation
upon the subject, have left out. The
ground floor contains exhibits in social
economy from France, Germany, Rus
sia, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Swe-
den, Bulgaria, Great Britain, Holland,
Belgium and the United States. The
exhibits of these Governments show
the various forces at work for the bet
terment of men and women, and eS-
pecially the various organizations
which these people themselves are car
rying on for their own betterment.
UNITED STATES EXHIBIT.
The United States Exhibit is consid-
cred the fullest of all. With a space
only equal to the smallest countries,
like Holland and Bulgaria, it has
crowded into the space a varied col
lection that furnished great food for
thought. The American Library AS
sOciatiOn occupies one corner and fur
nishes an interesting study of the Ii
braries of the country. Next the
League for Social Service has present
ed the work of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, factory employees
condition, and a miscellaneous study of
great interest. The New York Charity
Society has on exhibition some beauti-
full models of New York tenements,
one of which is a reproduction of
complete block on the east side OF New
York. The total catalogue entries of
exhibitors in this room, which is about
20 by 80 feet, is upward of 400. The
collection and installation of this eX-
hibit reflects great credit upon DR.. Ed
ward d. Jones, University of WiscOn-
sin Nothing could be more appropriate
than that the United States should in
cIude among these other forces a show
ing of the progress of its eX-SlaveS and
their descendants. Marvellous as has
been the progress in other lines, have
any equaled the facts of Negro prog
resS? About one-fOurth of the space
is devoted to the Negro Exhibit, and
the most prominent part of the room,
stretching the whole length of the YES
tibule. is a glass case containing the
HunSter Models. and Immediately in
front on your right as you enter is the
remainder of the exhibit.

His Interested Motive.

There is a young man out in Ger
mantown who has developed into a
chronic matchmaker. This is all the
more remarkable because of the fact
that the young woman to whom he had
been engaged Tilted him and returned
the rfng-a handsome solitaire. The
average man who meets with an expe-
rience like this usually poses as a
misanthrope and rails bitterly at matri-
mony. 1t seems to have just the oppo-
site effect upon this Germantown man,
who is noted for his parsimonious hab-
its.
Ever since his own engagement was
broken off he has been doing his best
to make matches among his friends.
He would tell girl how much GER
tain young man thought of her and
then pour a tale into the young mans
ears about how deeply in love with him
the girl was. These tactics he pursued
SO frequently as to excite comment.
A short time ago his efforts resulted
in an announced engagement, and the
matchmaker lost no time in making a
proposition to the prospective Benedict.
Then it developed that his only inter-
est in throwing his friends of opposite
sexes at. each others heads was that he
might sell the engagement ring that
had been returned to him. The story is
being whispered around and his popu-
larity has waned Philadelphia Rec

The Democratic ticket received a heavy

Alexander NJ. Dockery, the Democratic

that of Bryan and Stevenson. Some Of
the counties in the state which have
formerly gone Republican have
changed their political complexion,
surprising the members of the Demo
cratic state committee.

A Gentle Hint.

A certain youthful billiard marker
was recently informed by his employer
that he would have to be more careful
in the matter of chalk.
Cant help II, SIR replied the
marker. 81 knows the gents wot peck
cts the chalk. But they're reg'lar Gus
toners, and you wouldn't like me to
offend 'em, would you, sir?"
'Well, no." was the reply, "but you
could give 'em a gentle hint, you
know"
The marker promised to do so, and a
day or two later, on observing player
pocket piece of chalk, he approached
the culprit and remarked:
You'll excuse me, sir, but are you
connected in any way with the milk
trader

MAJORITY REDUCED.

Republicans Carry Massachusetts, and
Elect Ten of the Congressman.
BosToN, Nov President McKin.
ley has carried Massachusetts by about
$4,000 plurality, reduction of nearly
100000 from that of four years ago.
The Republicans have elected 10 and
possibly II of the congressman, few
by an increased plurality over 1896, but
in the majority Of the districts their
candidates ran behind those Of four
years ago. While the total vote for
governor is somewhat behind that
given the national candidate, William
NJ. Crane was reelected bya somewhat
larger plurality than that received by
President Mckinley. The reduction in
the. Republican plurality was due not
SO much to the falling off in the party
vote but to- the party recall Of the so
called Gold Democrats of 1896 to- the
regular Democratic ranks.

The Guide Had His Way.

A. Phelps Whitmarsh gives in The
Outlook an experience with Filipino
guides and the sequel to attempting to
have ones way with them, especially
when that way involves an expendi-
ture of energy. The travellers were de
termined to ascend a certain mountain.
As we climbed higher and higher the
old fellow who was leading us grew
uncertain about the trail. At last he
halted and spoke to another guide in
their own tongue "Senores,' inter-
preted Simeon, there is no water high
er up on the mountain"
This was evidently a ruse to prevent
us from going any farther. So we told
him we did not want any water and
ordered him togo on.
"Senores," he said little later, ''the
carriers are exhausted. They cannot
travel any more today"
TEL the carriers that unless they
follow us we shall go on without them
and pay them nothing"
''Senores, the path is lost
aWell, let the guide find it again.
He cannot, senior. He does not know
the mountain above this. He expected
to find a Negrito to show the way"
go on, anyway"
"But where, senor?''
"Up."
After an hour or so of progress SO
slow that we scarcely seemed to be
moving at all we were well scratched,
pricked, torn and angered. Then we
gave it up The smiling guide had
beaten us. ..,4xsss:sssssssSzs-

TIE Crime, Of isneeaina.

In the time Of that bluff sailor king
William Nv the then Duke of Norfolk
was referred to as something of a
Door" and only for sneezing violently
at state banquet when the king was
present.
Sir B. Hastings Doyle in his auto
biography relates hors, even in the
fifties, Lord Halifax was walking with
Lord Dundas when the latter suddenly
began to make hideous faces to such
degree that Lord Halifax became seri-
ously alarmed and gasped out, "Shall
run for the doctor?o Lord Dundas
gave a peremptory mo" as far as he
was able. When he had recovered from
the paroxysnn, he said: Il was only in
the agonies of trying not to sneeze.
The awful court etiquette in regard to
this matter has made me really ill
many a time. Nowadays I cannot
from long habit really sneeze, but the
sensation that brings about sneezing
simply agonizes me. And I know
many elderly gentlemen who suffer
the same"
The same rule applied and still ap-
plies in some cases in an even greater
degree on the continent. The late ear
OF Russia once hazarded the opinion
that a certain distinguished English
man was much wanting in polish and
good manners" because he, poor man,
sneezed at Russian court reception.
Even the late Napoleon III, free and
easy as was his court in certain mat
tiers. looked upon sneezing in his pres
'ence as a great liberty. London An
