TYPEwRITING MACHINES
TO BE SELECTED.
The question. (which typewriting ma
chine shall be adopted as the Worlds Fair
standard?' brought about twenty agents OF
various machines to Worlds Fair Head
quarters yesterday afternoon. The Com
mittee on Supplies considered the question.
allowing the representatives OF each ma
chine ten minutes to expound the exclusive
excellencies of their appliances. There
were represented the Remington. the Dens-
more. the Yost. the New Century. the
Smith-Premier the Underwood. the HAM
mond. the Oliver and the Jewett.
THE best plan would be for the WORLDS
Fair Company TO rent its machines. said
one of the agents. Six months from now
the company will need probably 100. a year
from now the number will have to be raiseu
TO l5o. In Chicago 90 We're used during the
maximum stress of business. and St LOUIS
will use at least that number. as less time
is available to produce a greater result. III
the machines are bought outright there VIII
accrue a considerable loss. because the old
machines will have to he sold practically
junk at the end of the Exposition"
The prices quoted by the agents for the
rent OF machines was s. a month The
committee has not yet reached decision.
MEMORIAL VAULT
Is SUGGESTED.
Henry ]. Marshall Of Collinsville H..
called at Worlds Fair headquarters to sug-
gest for the Exposition a memorial vault
in which visitors who desire to do SO shall
deposit mementoes of their visit.
Il would like to deposit the certificate OF
attendance which received at the Centen-
nial Exposition in Philadelphia In 1876,
said Mr.. Marshall 'The St. Louis Worlds
Fair should give such certificates to visitors
at a small price,
The Philadelphia certificate is n document
bearing facsimile signatures OF the Mayor
Of Philadelphia the Governor of Pennsyl-
vania. the Exposition officials and the Presi-
dent Of the United States. 1t reads. This
is to certify that Henry s. Marshall of
Collinsville. ILL.,. was visitor at the Inter-
national Exposition. held at Philadelphia in
1876. and that his name has been enrolled
at the Centennial Certificate Bureau in the
city of Philadelphia"
The memorial vault. according to Mr..
Marshalrs suggestion. is to be sealed after
the close Of the Exposition and to be opened
on the two-hundredth anniversary of the
Louisiana Purchase.

Knights of Pythias. headed by General b.
J. Carruthers. arranged yesterday for a sup
