north, south and Canada. The stron- gest representation of all is from the Merinos. Vermont the home of the Merino, where the only distinctive American breed of sheep originated, is represented by many of her best breed CTS. This fact deserves more than a passing notice, as our domestic ami mals of American origin are not nu merous. We have borrowed almost ev- erything of this nature from other countries. The only other exception is possibly the American trotting horse.
 Angora Goats.
 In connection with the sheep show Is an exhibit of 240 Angora goats. These interesting animals fill one of the live stock pavilions. The growing of An gora goats is a comparatively new business in this country, and very lit tie is known about it in the east. Their adaptability to rough. rocky pasture lands, where they graze and grow con- tentedly, has brought them prominent ly into consideration where such lands have proved useless or nearly so.
 Wool Exhibit.
 As another feature of the sheep show Superintendent Converse has arranged an exhibition of wool This is interna- tional in scope. having feeces from the different states, Canada and several South American countries. Argentina alone contributes more than POO sam- pie feeces. Chile, Costa Rica. Bolivia, Salvador and other Central and South American countries are also represent od int k;%v, ,I n; was never before attempted. It can not fail to produce lasting benefits that will be shared by growers of sheep. manufacturers of wooden goods and through them the general public.
 Shearfng Machinery.
 Still another accessory to the sheep industry is elaborately illustrated Tn one of the stock buildings a platform was erected about three feet above the floor, upon which is installed the latest and best shearing and clipping machin- cry. Some of the machines are oper- ated by electricity. while others are worked by hand. To show to Exposi- ton visitors their practical working, twenty sheep are brought from the East Buffalo stockyards every morn- ing. One machine is set in motion each half hour during the day. and one of the men in charge removes a fleece with it. One of the operators claims speed of one and one-half minutes to a fleece.
 Range Sheep.
 Tn pen outside of the regular sheep exhibit is carload of range sheep di- rect from the Canadian northwest These are sent as an advertisement of the rich pasture lands and an illus fration of what may be produced there without additional feed and without artificial shelter.
 The Pan-Amerfcan Horse Show. Dame Fashion may have withdraw her smile of approval and the different styles of autos turn their backs in deri- sion, but the horse still holds favor with the great majority of mankind. The horse show at the Exposition which holds the boards for two weeks, from Oct to Oct. 10, will be no excep- ton. Five hundred horses are coming which are carefully selected to faith fully represent the best of every breed |

found in the United States and Canada.
 Vermont is again courting promi- hence by sending a fine lot of Morgan horses, a breed that should receive more attention than it does.
 Draft horses, especially the Clydes- dale and Percheron breeds, are we'll represented. These are principally from Canada and the western states.
 German coach horses attract q great deal of attention. One large importa- ton of these horses will be brought di- rect to the Exposition.
 French Canadian horses from Quebec are entered more as a special feature of the horse show. They are little known in the United States, but their style and endurance will commend them as superior coach horses and those that will command favor in any market. Instead of enumerating the different breeds 1t is only necessary to select any kind of horse wanted. with the as- surance that it will be on exhibition. The finest stables on the continent are contributing to the show with sufficient enthusiasm to insure the finest repre- sentation possible. The judging takes place in the Stadium on the 9th and 10th of October, when this immense structure will be none too large to ac commodate those who will want to see this crowning climax to such an elab- crate series of live stock shows.

THE VILLAGE PARsON.

The excellent rustic drama, 'The Village Parson," will be the attrac- ton at the Jacques on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and should prove an extremely popular one. The play, it will be recalled, was booked for the Jacques at the time when President Mckinley died, but by agree ment between the managements the house was closed for three days out of respect to the dead presidents memory and the date was shifted. On this account, therefore, as well as the excellent character of the play, it ought to be well patronized during it's engagement.

Fatal Mine Explosion.

Connellsville, Pa, March 2T.-The first
and most fatal mine explosion to occur
in the New Klondike region of Fayette
county happened Monday. One man
was killed instantly, five will die and
ten are burned and crushed so terribly
that it is doubtful If they will recover.
The body of the dead man is missing,
the injured have been brought to the
Cottage State hospital, and as result
of the explosion the mine is on fire.
The cause of the explosion was an ac-
emulation of gas in the heading of the
Gates mine, one of the new mines open
ed up this winter by the American
Steel and Wire company, which has
lately been merged into the United
States Steel corporation.

Nobody Paid Her Fare.

A young woman got aboard a West
Broad street car and discovered, to her
humiliation, that her fare was missing
when the conductor called. In grutf
manner the custodian OF the car said
he'd have to get the fare at once or the
woman would have to walk This dec
laration added to her embarrassment.
The car was crowded. On her right sat
n genial Irishman and ON her left a
well known bookkeeper. The book
keeper and Irishman exchanged sever
al meaning glances. The conductor was
about to pull the bell rope. The book
keeper said he'd pay the fare as the
young woman looked perfectly honest.
The conductor repeated that he'd put
the woman off. This aroused the Irish
man, who said, IF you put the woman
off, your funerafll be tomorrow" See
ing slight nervousness on the part of
the conductor, he continued:
How many people on this car want
to attend the funeral of this conduct

tive. The conductor grew excited and
