This study at any time would be
very interesting and valuable, but with
the prospect Of amplifying it with a
visit to the Exposition. where the peo-

varied resources of the Western Hemi-

a new feature of much interest has
been added to the delights Pan-Ameri-
can crowds will have when they visit
Niagara Falls to view the scenic and
Industrial attractions there. In that
favored spot there is already developed
more power than Is used in many of
the large cities, but to this developed
force must be added 10000 horsepower
that is to be developed by means of
six new turbines and six new gener-
ators, the contracts for which have
been awarded. These new turbines
are to be installed In the new wheel
pit now in course of construction. The
design of the new turbines will differ
materially from the design of those
now In use In the present wheel pit.
This change is significant OF the fact
that the Niagara Falls Power COM
pany intends that the installation in
its new plant shall be mp to the highest
state of perfection known in this open
ihS year VI lle CENTURY. III is tllS
knowledge that at Niagara the most
modern, the most perfect working pow
er development in the world, may be
seen that will inspire visitors to the
Exposition to go there and look upon
the wonders that man has wrought.
Each OF the six new turbines will
have a capacity Of 5000 horsepower,
and each will be connected to and
drive a 5000 horsepower generator.
The turbines now in use were designed
by Picard, Pictet e Co. of Geneva,
Switzerland, while the new turbines
are to be built after designs prepared
by Escher, Wyss & Co. of Zurich,
Switzerland the plans of which COM
pany were accepted In a competition.
The terbines in the old pit each have
two wheels, wSle the new turbines
are each to have but single wheel.
With these new turbines in place
In the wheel pit, the output capacity
OF the Niagara Falls Power company
will be $4,000 horsepower. There will
be space In the new pit for FIVE addl-
tional turbines, each of 5000 horse
power capacity. and with these In
place the total output Of the two pits
will be 100000 horsepower

has been followed and second, 1t is

1t Is In cooperation with the various
divisions of the Exposition and with
the committees Of the Mems Board of
Directors that the Board of Women
Managers of the Pan-American Exposi-
ticn Is, to large extent, TO work. The
following committees have been ap-
pointed: Executive, Entertainments
and Ceremonies. Fine Arts, Education,
Clubs and Organizations, Publicity and
Promotion and Applied Arts. The ma
tority Of the members Of each commit
tee belong to the Board Of Women
Managers, but in a few instances ap-
pointnents have been made outside,
taking In those especially adapted to
carrying out the work Of the Women's
Board. To the committee on Enter
tainments and Ceremonies falls the
pleasant task of looking after the So
previous to and during the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition, arranging entertain
ments of various kinds for the hon
orary members Of the Board who visit
Buffalo, and also entertaining many
prominent women who are to be in
the city during the Exposition months.
A large number of conventions of wo-
men are to be held in Buffalo during
the Exposition. but the Women's Board
will not in any way be connected with
the conventions, although the commit
tee on Entertainments and Ceremonies
will doubtless entertain many OF the
officers and other distinguished mem
bers Of the various organizations meet
ing in the city P1n-American year.
The women OF Buffalo have in several
Instances extended invitations to lead
ing women's organizations to hold
their conventions in Buffalo during the
Exposition, and. with the desse to
offer every courtesy possible the COM
mittee on Entertainments and Cere-
monies will doubtless do great deal
to make 1t pleasant for the visiting
women during their stay in Buffalo.

Women's Board, In cooperation with
similar committee from the Mems

rector Of Fine Arts in arranging for

some building For Headquarters.
With a view to having the scope Of
The Pan-American Exposition as broad
as possible and to interest the thou
sands of women In the Americas in the
enterprise a Board of Women Mana
gers was appointed, consisting of 25
representative women of Buffalo.
In addition to this the governors Of
the states and territories were asked to
nominate two women each to act as
honorary members of the Women's
Board, these nominations to be ratified
by the Board of Directors of the Expo-
sition. The same request was made Of
the other Pan-American countries.
As result of this request from the
Exposition more than 30 states have
honorary members of the Women's
Board and several Pan-American coun.
tries are also represented. The work
or the honorary members supplements
that Of the local Board, which has been
divided Into committees and is now do
Ing effective work for the Exposition.
A distinctive point in the plan of the
Exposition is that the various indus.
tries conducted by women are to be
represented by exhibits In the different
buildings where they may properly be
placed, so that the achievements of
women will be shown side by side with
those OF men. This is the first Exposi-

The committee on Applied Arts Of
the Women's Board Is trying to secure
representative exhibits of women's
work at the Pan-American Exposition
and with this object in view hopes to
arrange a series Of collective exhibits
in the Exposition buildings, principally
In the division of Manufactures. Many
leading industries conducted by women
will probably be represented In these
collective exhibits. Applications for
space have been received in large num-
bers.
A great deal Of effective work has
been done through the honorary men,
bers of the Women's Board, with
whom local members have been in
constant correspondence, with the re-
suit that the women of the Americas
are deeply interested in the Exposition
and In many instances are arranging
for bringing large parties to Buffalo.
Some clubs have formed Pan-Ameri-
can Bureaus with view to securing
large numbers to go from their re-
spective towns to Buffalo.
Although the women are to have no
building for exhibits at the Exposi-
ton, women's headquarters on the
grounds is to be one of the most at
tractive structures there. 1t is well
situated, facing one of the main en-
frances to the Exposition grounds on
one side and the beautiful music gar
dens on the other. 1t is opposite the
New York State building. The house
was formerly the home of the Country
Club of Buffalo and is very artistic
structure. 1t has been remodeled to
meet the requirements Of the Women's
Board during the Exposition. Broad
verandas surround the house. A large
room on the main floor will be fitted
up for a magazine and reading room,
where clubwomen visiting the Exposi-
ton grounds will find a comfortable
and quiet resting place. The Offices
of the Women's Board will also be on
the main floor, and there will be
number of small rooms where lunch
cons may be served. For larger en-
tertainh:ants the magazine and reading
room will be used and will therefore at
times necessarily be closed to the pub
lie. Dressing rooms and other apart
ments necessary to the comfort and
convenience of visitors at the Women's
Building will be arranged for on the
second floor of the clubhouse.

great deal toward arranging for a Sc
ries OF educational congresses in Buff
falo during the Exposition, although
the work will not be taken up by the
Exposition Board.
Women's clubs and organizations
have made tremendous progress during
the past few years, and the committee
on Clubs and Organizations of the Wo-
mems Board will find ample opportunI.
ty for bringing into prominence the
work OF the women's clubs of the
Americas, especially showing the tre-
mendous advancement made since the
Worlds Fair In Chicago in 1893.
In response to many requests from
women's clubs the committee on Pub
licity and Promotion Of the Women's
Board has been doing a great deal of
effective work in advertising the Ex-
position. At several women's conven-
tions representatives of the Womens
Board of the Pan-Amerlcan Exposition
have appeared upon the programme
and have interested In this way hun
dreds of leading clubwomen in the
country. Great enthusiasm is shown
by the clubwomen of the United States
and Canada in the coming Exposition.
and In many towns Pan-American
clubs have been formed by the women.

They will probably be as follows:
l. New York and Albany to Buffalo,
(via the Hudson River, the valley of
the Mohawk and the cycle paths OF
Central and Western New York;.
2. New York to Buffalo (via the Del
aware Water Gap, Scranton, Elmira,

fact that 1t is well to know beforehand
something of the nature of what is to

smallest loss of valuable time and in
convenience and get intelligent ideas
Is equally appreciated by those who
have wandered from their own fire.

been the experience of thousands of
visitors to Expositions that loneliness,

WRECKED BY EXPLOSIONS.
Two Hartford City Houses Shattered
by Accumulated Natural Gas.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Feb. 25.-Resi-
dents of the north part of the city here
are living in terror lest their houses will
be blown to atoms at any moment. A large
sewer, which drains that section of the
city, is filled with natural gas, which is
escaping from one of the numerous gas
lines and cannot be located. Dwellings
connected with the big sewer are in great
at about the same hour. The two-story
frame residence occupied by S. b. Cole,
well-to-do stock dealer, at the corner of
Walnut and Elm streets. was wrecked this
morning at $50 o'clock. Mr. Cole went
in search of a leak with a lighted match.
He held il over a trap in the floor which
held a great accumulation of the gas in the
cellar. The doors, window sashes and
frames were blown out and the partitions
torn down and the contents of the house
reduced to debris Mr.. Cole was forced
through a window into the yard. The build
ing is a mere shell, almost ready TO col
lapse. Flying timbers broke the window
panes in neighboring houses, Members of
the family who were not up were thrown
from their beds. Five persons were in
the house, and their escape from serious
injury or death is regarded as miraculous.
They escaped with only slight bruises and
singed hair ard eyebrows.
A few minutes later an explosion took
place at the home of Charles Fulton,
merchant on North Cherry street. Gas
from the sewer leading to the bathroom
was ignited and followed the pipe under
the house. The floor was burned and foun-
dalton shattered. but the blaze was soon ex-
tinguished. The loss en- the Cole dwelling,
