PREPARATIONS ron THE FAIR.

One thing in connection with the Fair
that is to be held here in November can
not fail to attract attention. 1t is the
very general feeling that 1t is going TO
be great success. Mr.. Pope Brown, who
Is travelling over the state a great deal,
finds this feeling everywhere he goes. The
effect Of It Is to create desire among
the people not only to visit the Fair but
also to make exhibits. Particularly is
this feeling noticeable among farmers
who have fine stock or who raise crops
that are much above the average
There is no doubt, Of course, that the
Fair is going to be a success. The su-
perintendents Of the different depart
ments were appointed on Monday, and
they will exert themselves to have good
displays. The contract for the buildings
has not yet been let. but It will be in
a day or two. The bids from contractors
have been received and opened.
The people Of this city are working to-
gether In harmony for the Fair. They
realize that II is expected that there will
be not only fine displays in all OF the de-
partments, but also a great deal OF pleas
ure from the exhibitions on the race
track. The indications are now that they
will not be disappointed. 1t is the de-
termination of those who have the Fair
In charge to make 1t in every respect
worthy of the state and the city. The
officers OF the State Agricultural Society
feel confident that they acted wisely when
they selected this city for the Fair this
year. and the people of Savannah are
not going to let them or anybody else be
dfsapuofnted

Peffus of Alabama.

One OF the most interesting men in Con-
gross is Senator Pettus Of Alabama. says
the Washington correspondence of the
New York Times. He is generally known
as Grandpa Pettus, being so years old. In
all outward respects the venerable states
man is a most solemn proposition" He
usually carries a red bandanna handker-
chief, wears spectacles on the extreme
tip of his nose, and chews tobacco with
his front teeth. He never was known
to smile, though he says the drolest
things imaginable. Last session he con-
vulsed the Senate with a rebuke Of young
Senator Beverage at whom he hurled
several long quotations from the Old Tes-
lament. In a poker game, Mr.. Pettus'
strength lies in the absolute absence Of
expression in his face. 1t makes no dif-
ference whether he is holding one deuce
or royal flush he goes right on masti-
eating his small piece of tobacco and
gathering in the other fellows chips.
That years do not necessarily mean
age is beautifully demonstrated by the
example OF Pettus. He has led an active
and eventful life. He was a lieutenant
in the Mexican war and brigadisr gen.
eral in the Confederate army. He has
been in more battles than he is years
old. When not fighting he has been prac-
ticing law. He never went in much
for politics. though he liked to go to
national conventions once in while, and
could always get a delegates commits
sion. When he was about Is years of
age he took IL into his head that he would
like to be Judge of the Federal Court,
and modestly applied for the job Mr.
Pugh Of Alabama, who was then senator.
declined to indorse his application. on
the ground that he was too old. He was
a year Pugh's senior. "All right" re-
piled Pettus, II may be too old for a
Judge. but l am young enough to be a
senator" And thereupon he went out
after Pughs seat, and brought II home
by big majority.

They washed Their Necks.

Slang that is perfectly familiar to the
people Of one locality is often interpreted
in even nearby region in a totally diff
ferent way from that which IS intended.
SAYS the New York Tribune. This was
well illustrated last week. when a man
from Boston and man from Nova Scotia
met in a New York hotel and were intro
duced by a mutual friend. After a little
talk the friend left them, and. having had
no time to discover kindred interests, the
conversation sagged painfully. At length.
breaking a long pause, the Nova Scotian
said:

neck?"

exclaimed the Bostonian. flushing a fiery

The French Embassy.

Special Correspondence of The Florida Star.
WASHINGTON. April 2.-The French
government Is to have an embassy OF
its own at this capital. 1t will be
located In the west end OF Washington,
and the ground which il will occupy
about one acre-wIll be quite as dis
tinctly French territory as though II
had never been part of the soil OF the
United States. The flag OF France
will float over II, and whatever shall
transpire within It's bounds affecting
only Frenchmen and French interests
will be none OF Uncle Sans business.
This will be the seventh patch of for
eign soil acquired within the bounds Of
Washington. the countries TO which
land has heretofore been ceded for
diplomatic residences being Great Brit
ain. Germany, Japan, Mexico, Korea
and Austria. 1t is said that Italy and
China are on the lookout for land upon
which to build permanent homes for
their representatives.
The residence on II street hitherto
occupied by the French embassa-
dor is one OF WashIngton's most his
toric houses and wlthal one OF the
most elegant and finely appointed. but
the room is insufficient for the accom-
mediation OF NJ. CamboD's household,
nor is II regarded sufficiently extensive
for the maintenance OF French pres
tige. Hence the move to acquire
French territory here and build there
on an embassy which will be worthy
of the third republic. 1t is expected
that the new building will be palatial
in proportions and magnificent In fur

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way TO cure deafness. and that is by con-
stitutiOnal remedies Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the eustachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube restored
10 its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
iniamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
