NEGRO EXHIBIT AND BUILDING.
j. Milton Turner Argues in Support
of the Proposition.

J. Milton Turner, discussing the PROPOSE
ton submitted by the leading representa-
tives of the negro race throughout the
country for special building at the World s
Fair to properly display an exhibit showing
the progress made by the negroes in the
emancipation, said:
II have been, since March. 1900. corre-
received favorable responses from all classes
of represe entative negroes of the United
States upon the subject Of a distinct and
separate negro exhibit to be displayed at
the Worlds Fair in 1903.
.'The subject having now attracted the
official attention Of the Board of Directors
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
pany 1t would seem fitting time to set
forth the reasons why separate building
erected by negro mechanics and filled with
a display of whatever progress the negro
would be Of incalculable value to all classes
in this country as well as instructive to
visitors from all other countries in the
world.
with few individual exceptions an alto
gether kindly but mistaken sympathy with
the negro's condition In the Southern States

country Is regarded as greatest in the world
because 1t emancipates the individual con-
science and gives liberty and sovereignty
the average European philosopher and
statesman perplexed at what he believes to
be an unaccountable cruelty perpetrated
upon the American negro by his white fell
low-citizen of the United States. This mis-
understanding and ignorance Of the comfy
really existing between white and black
people in the United States Is not trace
able to any omission or commission of the
true representatives of the race.
when the negro Of the South is heard
from in Europe or in the Northern or New
England States he has either committed
some heinous crime for which the mob has
executed summary justice upon him.. or 1t

attempting to trade his vote in the conven-

him In so false position during the So

| Tho Worlds Fair has passed into the
| period of construction. Isaac S. Taylor, as
| Director Of Works. now becomes a dom
| fnant figure in the creation of the great
Exposition. Upon his shoulders rests the
responsibility of erecting the magnificent
structures approved by the National Com
mission and the directory of the Exposition
Company.
Director Of Works Taylor made known
his plans yesterday for having the buildings
in readiness for exhibitors several months
before the opening date of the Fair, April,
1903. There is a radical departure in his
ideas from those which governed the con-
struction period of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition at Chicago. He aims in his gen.
eral system of work to gain time by dis
carding what he terms the unnecessary
features of construction.
He viii not employ the massive structural
steel frames used as the shells of the
buildings at the Chicago Fair. Most of the
lost time in the construction Of the Chicago
edifces was charged to the delay in getting
the steel work on the grounds from the
foundries. This Director, of Works will
only employ steel where it is necessary to
introduce 1t to support weight. All of the
cross girders and frame for the walls and
roofs will be made Of wood. which he deems
just as good as the steel. The wooden
girders and all cross pieces may be treated
with flre-proof application. This material
can be turned out in less than half Of the
time 1t would take to get steel on. the
grounds It can be put into place quicker
and 1t can be made just as strong as the
steel frames.
Grading will begin on the site next Nom
day. From the time that the first shower
enters the soil Director Of Works, Taylor
promises that there will be no cessation OF
work. The delay Of the Grounds and Build
ing Committee to finally decide on the style
of the fence to inclose the Exposition IS
the only obstacle that prevents him from
starting the work. The lake formerly used
for skating in Forest Park is being filed
in now, and few days more VIII nave
seen the utter disappearance Of the excava-
ton which was full Of water week ago.
On this spot the Education and Social
Economy buildings will stand. Both OF
these structures will eventually be turned
over to the Department of Manufactures
and Liberal Arts II the deal IS made WIN for
the use of the University building. for the
housing of the entire Educational and 30
cial Economy exhibits.
ARCHITECTS PROMISE
SOON TO SUBMIT PLANS.
Some of the architects in the commission
| which designed the main exhibit buildings
have promised the Director Of Works that
they will place in his hands within five
weeks from the time OF their late departure
from the city the completed working plans
Of the structures assigned to them for
design. None Of these plans can be later
in reaching Mr.. Taylor than six weeks
from the date OF the architects departure
from the city for their respective homes:

A Pastoral of the Pasture.

BANGOR, Me-, Oct. 14-The
strange story of the elopement of
an ordinary mich COW with a
bull moose comes from Lake On
ava, a pretty sheet Of water in
the hills of Piscataquis county,
much frequented by sportsmen
from the big cities. The COW
was the property of DR.. A. T.
Sander of New York, wLose cot
tage is located on the shore Of
Onawa, and she was kept in a
pasture enclosed by rail fence.
A big moose had been several
times seen hanging around the
cottage grounds late at night,
displaying great boldness. Last
Thursday night he came close up
to where the COW was, and the
two seemed to be good friends.
Late at night a tremendous crash
was heard, and next morning the
fence was a wreck and the COW
was gone. Neither she nor the
moose has been seen since.

closure the plaintiff asked for the APP
pointment of a receiver, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Mr.. Hendricks had
already set out and rendered all the
property covered by the mortgage,
and the hearing was set at 8 O'Clock
Friday morning at Rochester. Martin
dale and Stevens are the attorneys for
the plaintiff. Mr.. Stevens was out of
town while the attempt to harrass
Mr.. Hendricks uselessly and unnecess-
arily was being made, and when he
returned in the evening saner counsels
prevailed and the receiyership proceed
ings were postponed.

NJ. Lauer in the case, and it will be
deSposed of in due course of law. 1t
is what is known as vexatious law
suit, its purpose being to annoy rather
than to enforce right, but the vague
notions under which it was started
will be dispelled and the plaintiff will
ultimately regret that he was not

sumptiye innocence, and to assert
that fairness of Cantrill's court, which
is contrary to all the evidence from
the outset until now. No republican
palliates the murder of Goebel. Meth
er will any republican, or many de-
mocratS, consent to the murder of
Taylor under the hollow forms Of law.
Governor Mount did not hold that
Taylor is innocent, or that he is iusti-
fed if guilty, but he did hold that ac-
cording to the evidence the chances
were against a fair trial. The sub
sequent spectacle of an unjust judge,
a packed jury and perjured witnesses
demonstrated the wisdom of Governor
Mounts decision. When one reads
the threats uttered at the graveSide
of Goebel's slaughtered victim and
remembers how much that kind of
talk means in Kentucky, there comes
the thought that very promising
clue has been wholly neglected while
theIpursnit of Taylor and the perse-
cution of other republicans has been
going ON.
