ARCHITECTURE AT ST. LOUIS.

The pictures already printed of the
principal structures at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair show an exposition of
surprising architectural beauty. 1t is
evident that dignity, massiveness and
strength are to be the dominant archi-
tectural features of the fair.
This is as it should be. To gain
these effects it is necessary to draw
extensively upon the Greek or classic
type, with its majestic Doric columns.
its spacious courts and verandas. 1t is
the most stately architecture in the
world, the capitol at Washington be-
ing one of the most beautiful and i'm
posing specimens in existence.
But the six million people who Wis
tied the Pan-American, and the
twenty seven million who attended the
worlds fair at Chicago and several
million who attended neither hope
that the st. Louis fair will not rest
entirely upon Doric, Ionic and Cor
inthian columns. In other words, they
hope to see something besides classic
architecture at that great exposition.

AN INFECTED ANTIToxiN.

1t is unfortunate that the spread of
new methods of fighting disease should
be attended by such incidents as are
reported from ST. Louis. Eleven chill
dren, it is said, have died of lockjaw
after being inoculated with an antitox-
in for diphtheria, and other children
are in danger OF death from the same
cause. Investigation has shown, of
course, that there is nothing inherent
In the pure antitoxin that could be
held responsible for the lamentable re-
suits which in this case followed its
use. The fault lies not with the anti
toxin itself, which has been proved to
have great value, but probably with the
persons who were SO careless, or so
unfortunate, as to use serum taken
died of lockjaw and which was. there
fore, infected with the disease when it
furnished the serum.
Many parents will now conceive a
prejudice against the use of the anti
toxin for diphtheria. If the child is to
be safeguarded from one disease only
to die at once of another, the inocula-
ton cannot be said to be of much val
ne. The proceeding is too much like
Jumping out of a problematical frying
pan into an indubitable fire. But oc-
casionai accidents do not disprove the
worth of the remedy. The diphtheria
antitoxin will save ten times more
lives than it destroys. A reasonable
view of the matter will lead to it's con-
tinued use with greater precautions.

the working people nor the enemy of
the manufacturers-he is a plain bust
ness man, engaged in the manufacture
and sale of print and printed cloth, and
he happens to be vastly smarter at the
business than his competitors.
He has certain definite ideas about
how best to manufacturer print cloth
(the plain gray or white goods as it
comes from the looms). how best to
convert this into print (calico). and
then how best to convert the finished
goods into spot cash.
He was born and brought up in the
business and his forty years of init
mate association with the manufacture
and sale of cloth have taught him that
certain exact results follow certain ex-
act causes.
His refusal to close his mills against
Union labor won for him the undying
gratitude of Union labor throughout
the country.

This is not by any means the view
taken by other Republicans, who think
they are pretty well posted on what is
going on in the Presidents mind these
days, writes the Washington CORE
spondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The more general opinion is that, no
matter how sincerely President Roose-
velt's announcement was made, cir
cumstances will so shape themselves
after Congress has been made acquaint-
ed with the new Presidents plans and
purposes through his first annual mes
sage that Cabinet changes will be in
evitable.
Among the new names most frequent

ator Edward o. Wolcott of Colorado.

Failure OF the Erie Canal

The announcement has been made
that the Cleveland Steam Canal Boat
Company has sold the steam canal
boats and their consorts. which for
several years past have been making
trips between Cleveland and New York
city, via Lake Erie and the Erie canal,
to a new corporation that has been
formed to carry on the sighterage bust
ness in the Philippine islands, and the
vessels of it's fleet are to be cut into
sections for the purpose of carrying
them in this form to Manila. The rea-
son for this change. given by the gem
eral manager of the line, is that it is
impossible to compete with the facili-
ties offered by the competing steam
railway companies.

Keep an Eye on Anarchi.m.

In the current Issue of the North
American Review Robert Pinkerton of
the Pinkerton detective agency begins
an article on the Detective Surveil-

the opinion that if proper precaution-
airy measures had been taken at Buff
falo the life of President Mckinley
might have been saved The hand,
says Mr. Pinkerton, is the only posi-
BILE machine by which damage can be
inflicted through knife, pistol or bomb.

that either no harm was intended or
that the man was carrying concealed

The perilous journey of seven men
and one woman in Professor Baldwin's
air ship, near San Francisco the other
day merely emphasizes what has al
ready been demonstrated by NJ. Santc5-
Dumont in his experiment at Paris,
and by other aeronauts, that man will
never be able to successfully steer
through the air in a balloon.
In that incompatible calm that rests
upon the French capital in the au-
tumn days Santos-Dumont was able
to steer his dirigibIe balloon in a fixed
circle upon several occasions, but it
was noted that when he encountered
atmospheric disturbances he lost con-
troll of his air ship to such an extent
as to place his life in great peril and
upon one or two occasions was res

The most powerful motor and steer
ing mechanism that can be devised
cannot resist the elements when at

to propel a great bag of air against
the upper currents or to control its
course when opposed by the slightest
breezes. The problem of navigating
the ar must be solved without bal
looms. How? With wings-if ever.

WHAT HOME IS.

Home has cool hand and a soft
voice-and sympathy.
Home is where you can speak your
mind end criticise your employer.
Home is where you can pull off
your shoes and put on your slippers.
Home has a quiet rest for the tired
head, and home is where you can
cry out your heartweariness.
Home is where you can shove the
days burdens into the hall closet and
hold yourself straight and free once
more.
A home is responsibility, but not
any more SO now than in the time Of
our fathers. No man or woman
worthy of the name will shirk re-
sponsibility that means the welfare
of our country. 1t is that response
bility that makes sturdy citizens and
selects great men to rule us.
Home is earth's Eden to those who
wish it to be so and will strive to
make it so. A little more thought
tie of self-abnegation and good
deal Of sentiment; much of imagina-
tion and great lot of lovableness;
an ideal to grow to and enough prac-
ticability to keep things moving
smoothly; such constitute the haven
that most of us look forward to and
that some of us reach.

STATE TO OWN UTILITIES.
Canadian Government Proposes to
Have Full Control of Telegraph
and Telephone Lines.

According to authoritative an
nouncements, the government of Can
ada has decided to nationalize the tele-
graphs and the telephones of the do
minion, says the Chautauquan. The
business elements are said to be near
ly unanimous in support of this re-
form. The government counts on an
annual surplus of some $7,000,00o, and
Its income is increasing under the
usual prosperity of the country. 1t
has, therefore, become possible to
take the step contemplated for years,
but heretofore precluded by lack Of
available funds. The government al
ready operates some small telegraph
lines, and not unsuccessfully The
telephones, If taken over at the same
time as the telegraph, will be placed
In the hands of the respective munic-
lpalities to be managed by them. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that the
employees of the companies are anx-
lous to become the servants of the
state, knowing, as they do, that from
the government they would secure bet
ter terms and greater consideration.
