THE LIBERAL ARTS.
NOTABLE EXHIBIT TO BE MADE AT
THE PAN-AMER!CAN.

Vast Field Covered by the Exhibit
and the to BE Followed In
Its illustration at the Exposition at
Buffalo Next Summer
The building which is to house the
exhibit in manufactures and liberal
arts at the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo will be one Of the most i'm
posing in the splendid group surround
ing the Court of Fountains. This build
Ing is 500 by $50 feet, with a central
court and having a dome 20 feet in di-
ameter over the entrance on the south.
Manufactured products and those il
Illustrating the liberal arts are'so closely
allied that they naturally are classified
in the same general group, and at the
great eXpositions of recent years they
have been housed under the same roof.
Under the general classification of lib
eral arts are included such subjects as
those of education n social economy.
books periodicals, scientific apparatus,
hygiene and sanitation, musical instru-
ments, public works, civil engineering,
constructive architecture, photographs
an Photographic supplies, medical,
dental and surgical apparatus and 9th

deed 1t is the most progressive and no.
BILE Of the tendencies and achievements
+Of this age Of enlightenment and civili-
dzation which are represented in the ex-
hibits of this division of a great expo
Sition.
The work of collecting and classify
Fng the Liberal Arts exhibit for the
Pan-American Exposition is now well
Nnde way and is in charge Of DR.. Sc
Aim n. Peabody, whose successful han
uling of the same division at the great
columbian Exposition of 1893 marks
him as the best qualified man on the
American continent for the discharge
dDf such a task.
The exhibits of the Liberal Arts divi-
sion as well as those Of other depart
jNnents will be concentrated and repre-
sentative rather than vast in extent
and exhaustive in scope. Most crafty
ling progress has been made since the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in methods of
Rducation in the public schools, univer-
stiles and colleges of the United States
and other Pan-American countries. The
educational exhibit will give special
Attention to exemplifying this great
progress and showing the present state
of our educational institutions. It is
the intention to have models prepared
representing the equipments of schools
colleges and universities. The exhibit
made by the United States in the Paris
Exposition will be removed to Buffalo
for the Pan-American and will be sup
plemented with additional exhibits.
Closely related to the educational ex
hibit will be those in social econom
and in hygiene and sanitation. Under
the head Of social economy will be in
cluded such subjects as charities an(
correction, cooperative association!
and trades unions, apprenticeship an(
child labor, protection of w~orkingme1

Photographing Jewelry.

Photographing jewelry is an excellent
way of protecting 1t, though compare
lively few American women take that
precaution. In England the custom of
wearing jewelry in photographs is
much more prevalent than it is In New
York. Pictures of English women of
wealth and position usually display the
entire contents of their jewelry boxes.
and their tiaras, stomachers and neck
laces are frequently conspicuous
enough to be serviceable as a means
Of identification were they stolen, al
though thieves rarely dare TO keep such
things intact for even the briefest time
American women owning valuable
jewelry are not likely to possess any
photographs of 1t, unless they were es-
pecially taken. And that precaution
has 80 Tar been observed in few cases.

A Persian Barber.

A Persian barber works in a style
very different from that in vogue in
this country. A typical shop is a
square room, with one side open to the
street. In the center is tiny bed of
flowers sunk in the floor, from the
middle of which rises an octagonal
stone column about three feet high.
The capital of the column forms a
receptacle for the water ia which the
barber dips his hand as he shGyes his
customers scalp. In Persia they do
not lather. The shop is very clean. IL
two recesses stand four vases filled
with flowers and the implements of the
barber's art-scissors, razors, lancets,
hand mirrors, large pinchers to extract
teeth, branding irons to cauterize the
arteries in amputating limbs, strong
combs, but not a hairbrush, for that
implement is never used by Persians.
From the BARRIERS girdle hang a
round copper water bottle, his strop,
and a pouch to hold his instruments.
In his bosom is a small mirror, the
presentation of which to his customers
is sign that the job Is finished and
that the barber waits for his pay. The
barber shaves the heads of his custom
ers, dyes their boards, pulls their teeth,
blsters and bleeds Them when ailing,
sets their broken bones and shampoos
their bOdies.--EXchange

Portrait of Cocker.

Edward Cocker who lived in the
reign of Charles H.. is chiefly known
to the present generation by the say
ing in common use, according to
Cocker" which means in accordance
with arithmetical rules. | saw the 9th
er day amid the treasures of ii private
collector copy of the first edition of
Cookers immortal work on arithmetic,
published by T. Passenger at the
Three Bibles on London bridge. Only
two, or al most three, perfect copies
are known to the book collector. One
Is in the British museum. This par
ticular copy, its brown morocco pitt
fully faded, bears on its title page the
Inscription, Cookers Arithmetick.
Perused and Published by John Haw-
kins by the Authors Correct Copy"
1t contains what purports to be a
portrait Of ingenious Cocker" Ex-
perts, however, shake their heads over
the authenticity of this work of art
There are many engraved portraits of
the epoch, but there was only one
Cocker. The British museum copy has
no portrait, and there ia too much rea-
son to fear that this establishment
was added by some ingenious owner
or an earlier century. Cocker died In
1915. This rare relic of the past bears
date 167S.-Scotsman.

senior class stood higher, or was grad
uated with more honor than herself. Mrs.
Mason, who was there, listened with all
a parents pride and fondness to her
adopted child, as she promptly responded
to every question. But 1t was not Mrs.
Mason's presence alone which melted
Mary to do so well. Among the crowd
of spectators she caught glimpse of a

Turn which way she would, she felt rath-

watched her, and when at last the exer-
cises were over, and she with others
arose to receive her diploma, she inyol-
unfairly glanced in the direction whence
she knew he sat. For an instant their
eyes met, and in the expression of his
she read an approval warmer than words
could have expressed.
That night Mary sat alone in her room,
listening almost nervously to the sound
of every footstep, and half-starting up
if it came near her door. But for certain
reasons Mr. Stuart did not think proper
to call, and while Mary was confidently

In day or two Mary returned to Chic
opee, but did not, like Ella, lay her books
aside and consider her education finished.
Two or three hours each morning were
devoted to study, or reading of some
kind. For several weeks nothing was
allowed to interfere with this arrange
ment, but at the end of that time the
quiet of Mrs. Mason's house was dis
turbed by the unexpected arrival of Aunt
Martha and Ida, who came up to Chico
pee for the purpose of inducing Mrs. Ma
son and Mary to spend the coming winter
in Boston. At first Mrs. Mason hesitat-
ed, but every objection which either she
or Mary raised was so easily put aside
that she finally consented, saying she
would be ready to go about the middle Of
November.

A NOVEL HOTEL BILL.
The Man to Whom 1t Was Presented
Could Not Understand 1t.

The Man to Whom 1t Was Presented
Could Not Understand 1t.
"Talking about bookkeeping, there
used to be a man in Yankton whose
system of bookkeeping accounts was
wonderfully efficient. He kept hotel,
and he could neither read nor write.
He did not know how to spell his own
name but he did a thriving business
and collected every dollar of his ac-
counts Once, years ago, when | first
came to this country, | went to his ho-
tel and stopped there two weeks"
writes Milt Brinben.
when l left, he presented me with a
statement of what 1 owed him, and it
was curiosity. He had copied it from
his ledger. At the top of the sheet
there was rude picture of a soldier
on the march and after 1t three straight
marks. Then there was a scene show
ing a man at table eating. Then ap-
peared bed with a man In 1t. In the
amount column there was a picture of
doll and after it the two letters RS
After the picture of a man eating there
were forty-two marks; after the view
of the man in the bed, fourteen marks.
l looked at the account, then at the
proprietor, and told him it would take
me week to answer that conundrum.
II was completely stumped, and when
that hotel man deciphered the amount
for me 1t was this: The picture of the
soldier walking meant march. and the
three marks supplied the date, March
8, when l began boarding. The man
at the table with forty-two marks after
it indicated that | had eaten forty-two
meals. The man in bed with fourteen
marks showed that l had slept In the
house fourteen nights. The doll with
the RS after it meant dollars and
in the figure columns appeared the fig
ures IA, which was the amount l owed
him. And it was a true bill."-Yank-

Mining Notes.

Kennedy-The east shaft has been
sunk to depth of 24OO feet perpendicu-
lar depth. At the 21O0level connection
has been made with the workings of
the west shaft. The east shaft will be
continued down, and the intention is
to make connections with the old
workings at the 24O0 and $500 levels
1t is the company's plan to erect Il new
80 stamp mill near the east shaft next
summer There is no thought of
abandoning the present 40 stamp MILL
1t is believed that both can be kept
going, for an indefinite period. The
ore body is 100 feet wide in places, of
low grade, but carrying sufficient of
the precious metal to pay, and leave a
small margin of profit. The Kennedy
is by all odds the biggest mine ever de-
veloped in Amador county, not alone
in its production of gold, but in the
number of men it will employ when
under full Roadway.

depth of 1850 feet. Work has been
somewhat interfered with on account
of building new elevated track across
the main road to provide dumping
facilities. This will be completed in a
few days, and sinking will be pushed
ahead with all possible speed.
Preparing for Winter.-All the mines
using oil for fuel have made ample pro-
vision for the storage of oil to tide them
over the winter season. The contract
with D. Mccall, who has undertak en-
to deliver the oil to the mines, requires
each mine to erect storage tanks cap
able of holding sufficient fuel to last 100
days. In accordance with this agree
ment the Oneida has put up tank to
hold 2400 barrels, the Kennedy 1900,
and the South Eureka and Lincoln
1900 barrels each. The mine owners
continue TO be we'll satisfied with oil as
fuel. 1t has passed the experimental
stage.

A FATAL FALL.
Alfred seabrook Falls Down a Stairway
and Dislocates His Neck.

Alfred Saabrook was the victim of a
fatal accident in Sutter Greek last Mon
day morning. For many years he lived
on Suffer hill on the Watkins ranch,
at the junction of the Suffer Greek,
lone and Volcano roads. On the death
OF his wife, and division OF her estate,
he received $500 as his share thereof.
This was about six months ago.
Thereafter he moved to Suffer Greek,
and boarded at Nixon's hotel. About
two months ago he changed his board
ing house to w. T. Maddern's saloon,
occupying a room on the second floor.
Deceased was in feeble state of health,
being 69 years of age. He had been
drinking considerably, and this prob
ably had much to do with his sad end.
About o'clock Monday morning he
appeared at Maddern's bar and got a
drink of whiskey. He went out, and a
few minutes thereafter, the proprietor
hoard noise on the stairway, and
rushed out to ascertain the cause. He
found Seabrook lying on the floor at
the foot of the stairway, in a dying
condition. 1t is supposed that he got
about half way up the stairs, and fell
backward, striking on his head with
sufficient force to break his neck.
There was no one up stairs or on the
stairway at the time of the occurrence.
Coroner Gritton held an inquest on
the body the same day, before the fol-
lowing jurors: E. B. Rider, J. w.
Muiner, Joseph Bernardis, Chas. Hoar,
John Gardner, and George Beler. A
verdict of accidental death was re-
turned in accordance with the facts
stated above.
OF the $500 he had received so re-
Gently, only s67 was left This was ex-
pended by his friends in defraying
funeral expenses. Deceased was. a
native of Indiana, aged SO years. He
has no relatives here, except by
marriage.

PINE GROVE.

PINE GROVE, Sept. 12.-News is not
very plentiful around here. Most of
the boys are working away from here,
and when they are not here it is very
quiet.
Admission day was hardly noticed
here. Some of our townspeople went
to the celebration at Fullen's Grove.
The family of Mr.. Ballentine of De-
fender, have moved in the Dennison
house, short distance from town.
We were treated to small show in
the town hall last Tuesday night. The
performance was pretty fair.
Mountain quail are beginning to
make their appearance a few miles
above here. This means an early
winter, so the old inhabitants say.

CELEBRATION Of THE NINTH
Day Festivities
at Fullen's Grove.
A Large Crowd Present.-Plymouth
Baseballists Meet Defeat-0ther
Amusements.

The grand celebration and picnic
given under the auspices of the Sutter
Creek band and Mother Lode band of
Jackson, at Fullen's Grove last Mon
day, attracted large crowd of people,
who enjoyed the day to the fullest ex-
tent. Every one seemed to abandon
himself to the pleasures of the occasion.
The programme was carried out with
out friction of any kind. Each person
appointed to carry out any particular
| part of the programme, did so to the
letter. The music was good, and the
young people enjoyed the dancing until
a late hour. Had the committee of ar
rangements expended u few dollars for
| sprinkling the road from the gate to
the grounds, the people would have
enjoyed the day to a far greater extent
AS it was, the cloud of dust was SO
great that one could not distinguish
his best friend few feet away. This
failure to sprinkle the road leading to
the grove from the gate, was the only
thing left undOne, that should have
been done, and should be remem bered
when another picnic is contemplated.
Wilfred Dennis, the president of the
day, was untiring in his efforts to make
every thing go as it should, and de-
serves the thanks of all.
Hon. r. G. Rust, the orator of the
day, was in his happiest mood, and in
his usual forcible and eloquent style,
delivered speech that was we'll re-
ceived and highly spoken of by all.
The beautiful, patriotic, and soul
stirring song, "The Stars and Stripes
Forever, was rendered by Miss Mae
Fontenrose in such a manner as to find
ready response to the sentiments .ex-
pressed, in every listener.
+. B. LIE Moin of Drytown, read an
original poem of considerable merit,
and was highly complimented for his
effort.
The singing of the glee club was
beautiful, and was appreciated by all.
The baseball match for purse of $50
between the Amador-Jackson and the
Plymouth teams, was won by the
former in six innings. The score being
26 toe.
The afternoon sports under the
management Of Messrs. +. l.. Moorish,
Ray Meehan and II. F. Moon, af-
forded considerable amusement for a
lot of spectators, and resulted as fol-
lows: 100 yard race, free for all, was
won by Robert Dufrene, purse, 5000;
80 yard race for boys 16 or under, was
won by young Little of Suffer Creek,
prize, 81; young ladies' race was won
by Della Martell, and the fat men s
race was won by V. Nj. Colt. The
picnic was financial success; every
body is happy.
