II. M. W1ITNEY'S VIEWS OF THE
PAN-AMERlCAN EXPOSITION

American ports, which fact indicates
it's fortunate location as trade CEN

in this respect.
Travelling by rail shows very little
Improvement during the past ten years
on most of the roads. On some of
them. as that between Chicago ana
Buffalo via the Michigan Central, 1t
was like driving over a road paved
with cobblestones. At some future
day, perhaps, rubber tires of some sort
will be introduced, giving travellers
who pay an extra fee" for berth in
the Pullman sieepers chance TO get
a little rest.
The railroads are rapidly increasing
in number branching off here and
, there as feeders to the numerous viii
lagos located along the line, and the
time Will soon come when passenger
and freight traffic will compel their
construction to every point where
freight or passengers are to be had.
During the thirty-five days I was alb

10 900 miles, without an accident of any
kind, although a train which followed

masked highwaymen, who went

too common, and will necessitate

Among the interesting exhibits at the
exposition was one representing the
method of life-saving from a wreck al
sea. A spar forty or fifty feet long
stood upright in the center of the lake
as the last remains of a water-Iogged
vessel in mid ocean. At the top of this
spar were two men, supposed to be the
only survivors of the wreck, which hac
become submerged. Ropes were shot
over this mast, which happily lodged
near the two men at the masthead, tC
which one became fastened. First, one
of the men slid down on this rope
and reached the boat. Then the turn
of the officer came, and he followed il
the same way, swinging down the
rope When barely rescued by the boa
the mast fell over, but the two wrecked

hAVING been requested to express
my views regarding the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo,
as compared with that of the Centen-
NAL Exposition at Chicago in 1898,
where l spent six days, I would say
that while it may not be on so grand
a scale, it is fully as attractive and
valuable as a public educator. That
of 1898 was held for the most part, if
! remember rightly, in one enormous
building This is divided among sep
arate buildings, where the products of
each general class are shown, so far
as is practicable. The varied styles OF
architecture used in the Buffalo Elk
position are more pleasing to the eye,
and convey a beauty which 1t Will be
difficult to surpass. The collection OF
statues, of which there must be at
least one hundred, placed inside and
outside of the various buildings was a
notable feature of the show, and add
ed greatly to it's attraction.
AS has before been stated, the Ha-
waiian exhibit was somewhat small
er than it should have been, and hav-
ing arrived rather late, had to take
such place as could then be obtained
1t created much interest, however, es-
pecially with those who were more OF
less acquainted with our situation.
Louisiana's exhibit was a very largt
one, covering about 1000 square feet
sugar being only by-product, as i
were, among the numerous other prod
ucts sent by that State. Think of {
sweet potato weighing 120 pounds. o
| course, crowds went to see this giant
and others nearly as attractive. Lou
| isiana's sugar production was stated
| to be worth $50, 100000, and about thu
same of cotton. There certainly cal
be no good reason for that prosperous

There can hardly be doubt that tn

MY LADY OF
THE MEERSCHAUM
How She Aw axes the Muse
In Honolulu's Poetic
Breast.

Reading the article on the fad of Gig
arctic smoking among'the society girls
of Honolulu, published in Wednesdays
Advertiser, has evidently inspired
devotee of the fad to a flight of Pega-
sus. Below is given an anonymous con-
tribution of irregular verse, which the
writer of the article received yesterday
by mail:
TO MY LADY NICOTINE.
You do but lightly touch
With fairy finger-tips, il seems,
The stupid, hamp ring locks that hold
Imprisoned imagery and dreams
And as if soul had slipped
Some subtle god-brewn draught,
Ny tired brain is soothed to rest.
BY your gentle, tender craft;
And all the cares and trials
That perpex the busy day
Like the quiet, Arabs, silently fold
Their tents and steal away.
Steal away into oblivion,
Stink into their lairs.
While your soft spell creeps Ger
My senses, and takes me unawares,
Into clouds of phantom thoughts
A wondrous dreamy maze
And finds soothing way
Thro' the veXing haze
OF troubled cares, and sends them all.
Reproved, abashed away.
Then do you My Lady Nicotine,
Hold supreme your sway.
To that gentle, caressing sway
| unresisting yield,
And find no narrowing foes to fight
In all life's battlefield.
For you do bring me peace, do bid
Them all be still
! For but little space-bid them all
| To sleep awhile, until
Necessity relentless, shall wake
| Their troubling din
Then all about my tired brain you weave
| The thread that fancy spins.
The thread that never tangles,
| But weaves into a mesh
| OF idle phantom fancies and shapes
| That trouble not; you do refresh
The dreams of ndolent youth
| And tinge them with the tint
OF withered rose; My Lady, weaving,
| You do bid yourself no stint,
And the graceful folds of floating drap-
| cries
That wreathe you all about,
Winding about my little world, captive
| hold
The muse of ease and keep all else
| without.

AGAINST DIVORCES.
Great Episcopal Convention Takes a
High Stand
AGAINST MATRIMONIAL LAXiTY.
The Convention Decides That Minis
ters Shall Not Solemnize the Mar.
riage of Certain Divorced Persons

San Francisco, Special.-The action
OF greatest Importance taken by the
Triennial Episcopal Convention was
the adoption by the house of bishops.
by a vote OF 81 TO q, Of Canon 81,
which relates to the s0lemnizatiOn OF
=, marriage. All of its prov sions had
previously been argued, except those
contained in section +. which forbade
the marriage Of persons divorced for
any cause not existing before marri3ee.
For any cause not existing before
marriage is understood 10 refer to
such causes as insanity, inability to
execute a contract, the existence Of
living wife or husband, or like Ielsons
which practically render the marriage
null and void. This section has been a
Done OF contention, strong element in
the Church holding that the re-mar-
rage OF the innocent party to a d.
TGrce, granted on the ground of iafi-
deity, should not be forbidden. The
bishops have refused TO accept this
view OF the matter. The question is by
no means settled, as the whole subject
now 10 come up in the house Of depu-
ties. where it is expected TO cause

A STATUE TO RALEIGH.
Gen. Carr Proposes Unique Plan For
Its Erection.

General Julian S. Carr will propose
at the coming meeting OF the State
Literary and Historical Association
that the people OF North Carolina
erect suitable bronze statue to Sir
Walter Raleigh In our capital city.
named in his honor.
General Carr's proposition will EN-
brace the suggestion that collection
boxes be placed in drug stores and
other suitable places where tobacco is
sold to receive the donations, especial
ly of all who use the famous weed.
1t is we'll known that the great and
versatile Raleigh first introduced to-
bacco among the English-speaking
people, and the story OF the English
man who thought he was on fire when
he saw him smoking and threw a
out has been told for three centuries.
But though the tobacco men may
lsad in this just memorial Of Raleigh,
and there are such multitude OF
those who have enjoyed the fragrant
plant in North Carolina as 10 make the
task easy to them alone, still il IS q
matter in which every North Carroll
man Will want to take hand. While
the smokers feel an affection for tha
first OF their class, Raleigh was iirSt
in many other thingS-aS a statesman,
soldier, scholar, explorer, navigator,
historian and philosopher. Raleigh
first introduced potatoes from Ameri-
ca 10 Ireland where they were called
Irish potatoes. 1t was Raleigh who
advised Queen Elizabeth that the
Spanish Amanda ought to be attacked
at sea instead Of waiting for the in
yincible Spanish infantry to land.
SO far as we know there IS no statue
to Sir Walter Raleigh anywhere on
the earth He spent two fortunes col
onfzing America and If King James
had been equal to Elizabeth this illus
trious man, Raleigh, would have seiz-
ed South America as he did our con.
tinent for the Anglo-Saxon race.
Raleigh's statue in heroic size ought
to stand in the centre of~NaSh Square
where 1t may be the hrst OBJECT CT IN
terest to be seen by the thousands who
pour into our capital city from the
railroads.
General Carr will doubtless have a
specimen collection box. such as lie
recommends to the Association, at its
annual meeting at the Fair so that the
collection may begin at the meeins,
The people OF Raleigh-smokers and
all-will be glad to start the contribu-
ton to this laudable enterprise II
is fitting and appropriate that General
Carr, who has done SO much for all
that will bless North Carolina to-day
and for ali time, should be the inaUgu.

justice to one of the greatest men in
an age Of great mon.-News AMI o.
