found to do and what the preacher
asked them to do without com.
planning, and said if they did not
succeed very well the first time, to
try again and God would add to
them strength through the per.
torrance Of duty, and clothe them
with oil Christian virtues.
The preacher delivered a strong
exhoriation on scripture reading
and family and secret prayer,
and at the close asked all who
held family prayer regularly once
or twice a day to stand up, aud
only seven stood up in the vast
crowd packing the opera house
until there was scarcely standing
room. He then asked for pledges
from all those who would promise
to establish the family altar in
their homes, and eighty-six per-
sons arose.
The opera house almost trem-
bled with the weight of humanity
that crowded every inch Of space
within it for George Stuarts final
roundup" service Wednesday
afternoon. The preacher seemed to
have every eye and every heart in
the vast assemblage. He said he had
been treated better and entertained
more perfectly and had received a
larger thank offering than he ever
got in a town the size Of Bryan in
his life; he praised the unanimity
Of sentiment among the Christian
people; thanked the preachers for
their faithful and Jealous work,
and besought the people to stand
by their pastors; thanked Mr.,
John B. Mike for the opera house
saying it was the first time he had
ever had the privilege of using an
opera day or night any time h,
wanted to without charge; thanked
Mr.. G. NJ. Camp for the use of hi.

all the people who endorsed tn,

congregation rose as one man sim

form is here. The rest should b.
easy. He said Bryan had the rep
utation Of being a wicked town
but when he went away he did no
expect to tell that sort of story
he said he thought if it had been

pathos and tender sentiment in hi
remarks and many beautiful illus

tears by turns to the faces Of hi
auditors. With a parting admor

EIGHT BARGES
OF Pittsburg Coal Sunk at Henderson by
Collision.
ONE MAN WAS REPORTED LOST.

Henderson, Ky, May An
other disastrous collision was had
about 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing by coal tow with pier No. 4
at the Henderson bridge. The
ill-fated tow on this occasion was
that of the Raymond Horner.
Eight barges of Pittsburg coal
went down, and one man is re-
ported to have been lost. The
HOrner had thirty-five barges in
her tow and was trying to make
it through the channel span of
the bridge with the assistance of
the tug isabella from Evansville.
The current was too swift and
despite all the efforts of the pow
erful boat five barges of coal
were raked off from the tow as
clean as a good razor mows off
newborn whiskers.

PREPARED FOR THE OPENING
Nearly Everything in Readiness for the
Pan.American Exposition.

The Pan-American Exposition
was thrown open TO the public on
Wednesday, May |. The Com
mon Council of the City Of Buff
falo declared that a civic holiday
and the entire city turned out in
recognition of this signal event
which celebrated the Centennial
of the founding of the city and
which is the first great exposition
to be devoted exclusively to the
interests of Pan-America.
A new booklet, just issued for
the Exposition, tells very
charming story of its his
tory and creation and describes
the beautiful city in which the
festival has been developed and
brought to completion. The
booklet is embellished with many
illustrations, including twelve
colored plates of the Exposi-
tion buildings and views. These

fail to secure rooms in advance.
The Committee cannot make ho-

'MADISOyVlLLE COMMANDERY
Has Made Arrangements for the Pilgrim.
age to the Triennial ConcIave.
DARLINGTON KNIGHTS WILL
ORGANIZE COMMANDERY.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 4,
Especial. )-Arrangements have
been made for the pilgrimage of
Madisonville Commandery, No.
~, Knights Templar, to the
Twenty-eighth Triennial Con-
clave to be held in Louisville the
fourth week of next August.
Eminent Commander III. H. Hol-
man and Sir Knight Ruby Laf-
foon, went to Louisville this
week and closed contract for
accommodations. The Madison
vile Knights and ladies will
have rooms at the boarding house
of Misses Nellie Russell and Ida
Johnson at 734 Fourth Avenue,
and will take their meals at Miss
Nina Cartwright's, four doors
further out the street, or closer
to Broadway. There will be be-
tween forty and fifty in the
party. This does not represent,
however, the number that will
go from this section to the big
Louisville gathering of the white
plumed army of America, as
many will stop with friends and
relatives. A large number of
the Madisonville Templars will
be on.the Escort Committee and
do escort duty the two days and
lights. before the Conclave be-
gins, receiving all incoming COM
manderies. Miss Martha Arnold
is the sponsor for "No. 27."
1t is reported that several mem
bers of MadisonviIle Command
cry living in Darlington will ask
the Grand Commandery at the
State Conclave in Lexington,
May Is and 16, to grant them a
charter for organizing a com
mandery there. This would give
Darlington the right to appoint
sponsor and members of the
Escort Committee.
The preparations for the Con-
clave on the part of the Louis
vile Knights continue unabated.
With the out-in-the-S State men,
bers there are now 1,300 work
ing on 80 different committees.

the principal buildings Of the
Exposition have been completed
for some time. The installation
of exhibits began many weeks
ago. Some of the afterthoughts,
such as State buildings, will not
be done till about May 90, which
is to be Dedication Day.
Everyone who has visited the
grounds Of the Pan-American
Exposition during the last
few months has been aston
ished beyond expression upon
beholding the magnitude and
the exceptional beauty and now
city of the enterprise. 1t is
very much larger than people
generally have supposed, and it
is apparent that the 100000
which is the approximate cost of
the Exposition as a whole, has
been expended most wisely and
with the happiest results. The
particular novelty that is to be
noted in this Exposition is dis
covered in the fact that IN its
exterior aspect it is a radical
departure from former GXposi-
tions. The buildings are ar
ranged upon a harmonious and
well-developed plan, producing
court settings and vistas of very
charming character. The use
of nodded staff work and
decorative sculpture upon the
buildings and at all salient
points within the courts, the
liberal employment of hydraulic
and fountain features, the floral
and garden effects, the exquisite
colorings of buildings and archi-
tectural ornaments, and the IL
Elimination of the whole with
more than 800, 900 electric lamps,
combine to make a picture Of
unsurpassed loveliness. The
musical features are also Of great
importance and interest. The
exhibit divisions are very COM
plete and embrace the gamut Of
industrial, scientific and artistic
activities Of the people of the
Western Hemisphere. The Mid
way, claimed to be the greatest
/ in the world, has more than a
mile of frontage. The restaurant
features are perfect and the En-
position. so far us human in
genuity and the wise expenditure
of money can accomplish such a
work, is complete to the last de-
tail.
Buffalo, too, is an ideal city
for an exposition, having II sum-
mer climate that is tempered by
the breezes from Lake Erie, and
therefore, the most comfortable
in which one may enjoy his sum-
mer outing. The people of the
city have prepared themselves in
a most ample way to entertain
millions of guests during the
Exposition. The private dwell
ings throughout the city have
been thrown open to the public
and in view of the ample accom-
modation, very moderate rates
will prevail so that every visitor
may have such accommodations
as he is willing TO pay for. He
may have the palatial quarters
of the fine hotels or the quiet
restfulness of II pleasant home.
The average rate for accommoda-
tions near the Exposition grounds
is about Sl.00 per night for lodg-
ing, with 25c to soc added for
breakfast, it being expected that
guests will take their other meals
upon the Exposition grounds. A
number of responsible companies
have organized to find accommo-
dation for visitors at any price
they may desire to pay. The
offices of these companies are
centrally located and this system
of management premises to bring
very satisfactory results to all
concerned.

GOLD MINING IN ALASKA

The first articles in Mines and
Minerals, Scranton, Pa, for May
is most interesting description
of Southeastern Alaska and of
the celebrated Treadmill Mine
and Mill.
Prof. H. Van f. Furman says
of the climate and country:
Climate.
The idea seems to prevail that
Southeastern Alaska is cold
country; this is a mistake, as,
owing to the influence Of the
Japan current, to which the shore
line is subjected, the climate is
comparatively mild. ] am in
formed that the mercury seldom
falls below zero at Juneau and
that a temperature of so degrees
in the shade is exceptional, al
though l have known the ther-
mometer to register that high on
a bright, SUNNY day. However,
bright, sunny days are an excep-
tion in the vicinity of Juneau
and Sitka, where the rain and
snow fall is enormous. As you
pass away from the coast, into
tie interior, the climate changes !;
the precipitation of moisture is
much less, and extreme cold is
experienced in the winter months
as well as very warm weather in
in the summer season.
Character Of the Country.
Adjacent to the sea and the
various inlets, passages, bays,
ETC., the country is mountainous
and rugged; the mountains fire.
quently extending right down
into the water. Many of the
! glaciers also terminate in the
sea. The shore and the noun
tains up to an elevation of about
1900 feet timber line is located
at this altitude) except where
snowslides prevail are, covered
with a magnificent growth of fir
and spruce timber, and the sur
face is covered with moss, fallen
timber, and an underground
which is almost tropical in its
abundance. This is partly illus
trated in Fig. 3, which shows a
prospector's cabin in the Berners
Bay district. Above timber line
the mountains are either precipi-
tous or are covered with snow
and ice, glaciers, both active and
dead, being encountered. Below
timber line the underlying rock
is seldom exposed to view except
IN the beds of the present water
courses. These conditions render
prospecting extremely difficult,
in fact the country has only been
roughly prospected along the
shore, and occasionally inland for
distances seldom exceeding two
or three miles. Owing to the
heavy rain and SHOW fall, |
should judge the annual precipi-
tation to exceed 100 inches, and
the perpetual snow on the noun
| tain SUBMITS, rivers, streams and
waterfalls are encountered al
most everywhere. This is of great
economic importance, as the eX-
ploration, exploitation and treat
ment of the low grade gold ores
of the district are largely de-
pendent upon obtaining cheap
and convenient water power.
