for part of the reaction against exces- sive refinement of style. For some years the precieuses have been having their own way, especially among those critics who pose as persons of peculiar delicacy of taste. The precieuses have set up as model the prose of Walter Pater. and of a swarm of minor imi- tators who have so little to say that they can devote their whole energy to the details of literary form. Naturally these exquisites have nothing but scorn for Macaulay whose ear was not attun- ed to the finer verbal harmonies, and who centented himself with effects so broad. perhaps. even crude. that a school boy can understand and enjoy his essays and the matchless narrative movement of his history. Lately. how ever. men have been discovering that, with all his faults. Macaluay alone has more to tell than all the latter-day pre- cieuses put together. Consequently Macaulay is again coming into his own, and is furnishing fresh evidence of the fact, already proven again and again by such writers as Bunyan and Defoe, that in the long run mere niceties of style are insignificant in comparison with mental grasp, directness and viz or.
 Dickens, too, has been under the same ban. Some of our most supercil- lious critics. both American and Eng fish. .fhave been at great pains to ex- plain to us that not only is his style cheap and journalistic, but that in gen. eral structure his novels are shapeless and inartistio. This censure rests on undoubted facts. SThe defects of Dick ems writings are slaring; he had not the art professed by disciples of Guy de Maupassant of carrying cherry stones. Doubtless in David Copper field" alone he used up enough stuff to have kept a dozen of our modern writ CTS of short stories busy for a life time. But. in all likelihood, people whose digestions are fitted for roast beef rather than charlotte-russe will continue to delight in Dickens long after the Euphuists of our day are as completely forgotten as those of the Elisabethan period. For the refreshing truth is that mankind is blessed with a large and wholesome sanity that dis dains the petty and the trivial. If Matthew Arnold was right in declaring that conduct is three-fourths of life, surely substance is at least three fourths of literary excellence.

FAuNspALE SOCIAL NOTES.

Faunsdale, July 13.-(Special.)- Joe spite the intensely warm weather, "tne dance still goes on." There have been many social functions among the seci- ety set given in honor of the several visitors. Among the most charming was a german given by the young men of Faunsdale in compliment to Misses Melville and Bessie Minge before they leave for Virginia Beach. The young ladies in their lovely evening dresses and the gallant men made tableaux vivant never to be forgotten by those who witnessed the scene and heard the strains of sweet music by the De- mopolis band. Poetry of motion was embodied in the graceful mazes Of the dance. beauty reigned and gallantry worshiped at her shrine; the entire evening was a credit to the young men and one of genuine enjoyment.
 The german was led by Dr. B. o. Minge of Maryvlle. Mo-, who is on a visit to his parents. assisted by Miss Louise MoFadden of Selma, Ala. The many beautiful and intricate figures introduced by this graceful couple were the delight of all the participants as well as the spectators.

the general government in it's expend- itures. There will be exhibits from Cuba, the Philippines, Porto Rico and the Hawaiian islands. The machinery and transportation building is 800 by $50 fuet. and covers four acres. The electricity building is 500 by 1j5 feet. the manufactories building also covers four acres. The exposition grounds in- clude $50 acres. The magnificent court of the fountains will be lighted with 100000 electric lamps. Tn" street tower for electric display is S4S feet in height. The grand court is 3,C00 feet loEg. with a transverse court of HOO feet. A recent Buffalo paper gives a long list of conventions, statr, national and in- ternational. which will be held in But" falo while the exposition is open. Among those of greatest interest to cit- izens of Arizona are the National Rose association. the Order of Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine. the National Camp of Spanish War Veterans, the National Irrigation Congress. tn National Good Roads association. Columns after col umns could be filled with interesting statistics of this great exposition of all the Americas. The central illumination around the grand court will include 200, ,000 incandescent lamps, 35,000 gal Ions of water per minute will be re- qulred for the fountain display. The area of the courts to be illuminat ted inciudrs 1,390, 600 square feet, twice the area of the courts at the worlds fair at the Paris exposition. The great or gan for the Temple of Music is to cost $15,000. It Is expected that the Cali fornia exhibit will be made under the direction of the state board of trade. The Les Angeles chamber of commerce began making prepara .ionsrfor an ex- hibit at Buffalo more than a year ago, and secured the concession of some six thousand square feet of spacr. The exhibit will include educational, for estry and food displays.
 It would be vastly to the advantage of Arizona if her mines, her orange groves, her alfalfa fields, her figs. dates. and pomegranates could be ad- equately displayed at the Pan-Amer ican exposition. and she could make an educational exhibit worthy to stand side by side With those of the oldest states It is probable that thern is yet time to arrange for such an exhibition. and 1t is for Arizona to see and to grasp her opportunity.

THE PAN-AMERCAN EXPOSITION

To the Editor of The Republican Sir: The first great exposition of the century will be the American. at Buffalo. N. r., May 1 to November 1, 1901. It is callsd Fan-American, but it will be one of the greatest of the worlds expcsitions. rivdling those held at Paris and Chicago.
 The location Is happily chosen. Buff falo. which in the last decade has forged to the front rank of the cities of America. is situated midway between New York and Chicago and is within one nights journey of 40.000,000 of peo- pie, Niagara falls, one of the wonders of the world. is one of the suburbs of Buffalo. The electricity used at the exposition will be generated by power borrowed from Niagara, and the cleo trlc display will far exceed that seen at all previous expositions. The Pan- American will be a picture lesson to the world of the wonderful progress made by America in art in science, and spepislly in invention. It will cele- brate the achievement of civilization during one hundred years of develop ment in the western hemisphere More than ten millions of dollars are all ready pledged to insure the success of this vast project. The federal govern ment will expend half million on its exhibit. The Empire state will rival
