SURPRISING BEAUTY.
The Fan American Exposition II Spectacle
OF the First Magnitude


OF the First MagnitudO
The following editorial reference
to the Pan. American Exposition is
made by the Toronto (Ont.) W orld:
"The an-American Exhibition
cannot fail to draw immense crowds
Of people. Buffalo has really pro.
duced Il spectacle of the first magni-
tude. Nothing has ever boon de-
signed in ancient or modern times to
equal tho view that is presented from
dozen different points within tho
grounds. The architecture, the col
oring of the buildings, the illumina.
ton, the water effects, the statuary,
easily surpass the efforts Of the
Chicago people in their great Worlds
Fair Of 1893. The feature Of the
Pan American spectacle is its con-
densation. 1t covers much less
area than tho Worlds Fair. Every
thing is compact and the eye is sur
feited with the combination of beau
tiful effects that everywhere meets
it. We imagine that even Paris will
readily acknowledge that it's effort
of last year has been surpassed by
the architects and artists of the New
World. AS far rs illumination goes,
nothing, O. course, has ever been at
tempted on such magnificent scale
rs is seen ut Buffalo. Within the
space Of few minutes the grounds
are converted from twilight into a
beautiful incandescence, soft, yet
powerful, combination Of sunlight
and moonlight. 1t is not only what
one actually secs that appeals to the
imagination, but, even to greater
extent, the great forces that are at
work producing these grand results.
Niagara Falls is the great unseen
exhibit Of the Pan-American exhibi
ton. Tho exhibition itself is the
gun, but the Falls is the man be-
hind the gun that does the work.
There is no excitement, no sign of
exertion, no sweating in the case of
the man behind the exhibition. The
mighty cataract turns the exhibition
grounds into a blaze of light with
as little exertlon az steam engine
would operate peanut roaster. And
not only doeo 1t produce the rich
illumination of the grounds, but the
same agency agitates the waters
tnmbling over the fountains, drives
the machinery, plays the great organ
and conveys the visitors to and from
the grounds and through the city.
ELECTRICITY is the feature of the Pan
American exhibition. The effects
are everywhere in evidence. And yet
the subtle fluid comes to the city
along a few wires that to the eye are
AS devoid OF life as anything can be.
Truly the harnessing of Niagara, the
subjugation and utilization of that
great force, is the unique event in
the industrial and scientific world
at the beginning of the Goth century.
The Buffalo exhibition is a fitting
celebration Of the event. The enter
prise of the peoplo of Buffalo is de-
serving of recognition. We have no
doubt their efforts will be appro-
ciated. We predict that within a
few weeks the city Of Buffalo will
have all it can do to take care of the
crowds that will visit the Pan .Ameri-
can"

- Letter Tint Came TOO Late.

\ Letter Tint Came Too Late
Tho following touching war pocm
was written in the prison doud house
at Camp Chase by Col. w. S. II, a
follow prisoner was engaged to Il
beautiful young lady who proved
faithless, and her lottor came break
ing tho troth just after his doath, to
which Col. III. sent this roply:
lonr letter came, but came too late,
For Heaven had claimed its own;
Ah, sudden change. from prison bars
Unto the Great White Throne.
And yet think he would have stayed
For one more day Of pain
Gould he have read those tardy words
Which you have sent in vain.
Why did you wait, fair lady,
Through SO many Il weary hour?
Had you other lovers with you
In that silkcn, dainty bower?
Did others bow before your charms,
And twinc bright garlands there?
And yet wecn In all that throng
His spirit had no peer.
] wish that you were by me now,
As ] draw the sheet aside,
10 sec how pure the look he wore
Awhile before he died.
Yet tho sorrow that you gave him
Still had left it's weary trace,
Aud meek and sanity sadness
DwcllS upon his pallid face.
'IIcr love-" he said, "could change for
The winters cold to spring."
All, trust of thoughtlcss maiden's love,
Thou art bitter thing!
For when these valleys fair in May,
Once moro with bloom shall wave,
The Northern violcts shall blow
Above his humble grave.
Your dole OF scanty words had been
But ono moro pang to bear:
Though, to the last, he kissed with love
This trcss OF your soft hair,
did not put it where he said,
For, when the angels come,
I would not have them find the sign
OF falachood in the tomb.
I've read the letter, and know
The wilcs that you havo wrought
TO win that noble heart OF his,
And gained L.-fcarful thought
What lavish wealth men sometimes
For a triilc. light and small,
What manly forms arc often held
In Foily's llimsy thrall!
You shall not pity him, for now
Hes past your hope and fear;
Although | wish that You could stand
With me beside his bier.
Still, forgive you; Heaven knows
For mercy you'll have ncod,
Since God his awful judgment sends
On each unworthy decd.
Tonight the cold winds whistle by,
AS my vigils keep
Within the prison dead house, where
Few m0urncrs come to weep
4 rude plank collin holds him now
Yet death gives always grace;
And would rather sec him thus
Than c|asped in your embrace.
Tonight, your rooms arc very gay,
With wit, and wine, and song;
And you arc smiling, just as II
You never did a wrong.
Your hand 80 fair, that none would
think
1t pcnncd these words OF pain;
| Your skin, so whitc--would God your
Were half 50 free Of stain
ia rather be this dear, dear friend,
Than you in all your glcc;
For you are held in griovous bonds,
While he's forever free
| Whom serve VIC in this life, We serve
In that which IL to come;
lie chose his way; you.yours; let God
Pronounce the fitting doom.

London crowds demonstrative express
sions of their appreciation of his pro-
longed visit to England. The Empsr-
or's passage through London. however,
was somewhat marred by bad weather.
Unmistakabe evidence of the place

\ NEW DEPARTURE.
a New Effectuai and Convenient Cure for
Catarrh

OF catarrh remedies, there is no end,
but of catarrh cures, there has always
been a great scarcity. There are mary
remedies to relieve. but very few that
really cure.
The old practice of snuffin@ salt water
through the nose would often relieve and
the washes. douches. powders aud inhal-
ers in common use are very little. if any,
better than the old fashioned salt water
douche.
The use of inhalers and the application
of salves washes and powders to the nose
and throat to cure catarrh is no more rea-
sonable than to rub the back to cure kid
ney disease. Catarrh is just as much
blood disease as kidney trouble or rheu-
matism and it can not be cured by local
treatment any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh whether in the head.
throat or stomach an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the ca
tarrhal poison out of the blood and sys-
TEN and the new eatarrh cure is designed
on this plan and the remarkable success
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because be-
ing used internally, il drives out catarh-
al infection through action upon stomach,
liver and bowels.
VIM Zimmerman of St Joseph, relates
an experience with catarrh which is OF
value to millions Of catarrh sufferers cv-
erywhere He says. Il neglected slight
nasal catarrh until it gradually extended
to my throat and bronchial tubes and fin
ally even nv stomach ard liver became
affected, but rs | was able to keep UP and
do a days work l let it run along until
my hearing began to fail me and then
realized that / must get rid of catarrh
or lose my position as was clerk and
my hearing was absolutely necessary.
Some of my friends recommended an in
haler. another a catarrh salve but they
we're no good in my case, nor was any
thing else until heard of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets and bought package at my
drug store. They benefited me from the
start and in less than four months | was
completely cured of catarrh although /
had suffered nearly all my life from it.
They are pleasant TO take and so much
more convenient to use than other catarrh
remedies that feel can not say enough
in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets"
little hook on cause and cure of ca
tarrh will be mailed free by addressing
#. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. and
the tablets are sold by all druggists in the
United States and Canada.

Missouri Pacific Secures Control of Chicago
and Eastern Illinois.
CBv the Associated Press.)

Vby
New York Feb. St was reported
in Wall Street today that the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company has secured
control of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois Railroad. Officials of the Mis-
souri, Pacific declined to confirm or de-
nv the report. 1T is intimated in circles
close to the management that it is not
the Missouri Pacific which has taken
the control but the St. Louis South
western, which in turn is controlled
by the Missouri Pacific.
