There is something approaching
barbaric splepdor IN the cross coun'
try expedition of Mr.. j. 2. Morgan
fro m New York to San Francisco
in his palatial train. No historic
monarch or conqueror could have
made a tour from capital to capital
with any thing like the pomp ana
circumstance of this American citi'
GEMS journey to attend church
convention. Mr.. Morgan may think
n is 40 ones business but his own
how be makesOr spends his money;
vet there are thousands OF his iei-
law citizens who, though wishing
him. no harm, deplore snch es'en'a-
tons Display of this sort oree's
discontent and gives opportunity
for aernagOgc appeal TO the sle-
ments of social disorder.

Late Literary News.

Fourteen noted writer's were sent by
The Cosmopolitan Magazine TO the Pan
American Exposition to study the most
interesting features with view 10 pre-
pairing the most beautiful souvenir OF any
Exposition ever made, from both liter
airy and an artistic standpoint. To "Mr.
Dooley'' was committed tho case OF the
Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from
Boston 10 give bird's-eye view Of the
Exposition In his own most delightful
style. Albert Shaw and Nicholas Murray
Butler studied value of the Exposition
and its educational influence. Charles
Y. Turner, to whom was committed the
color-s scheme Of the an-American, ex-
plains the methods by which he has pro-
ducsd such marvellous results. Arthur
Brisbane, in his own Incompatible way,
! takes the Incubator Baby and Niagara
Pals for his subject. Director General
Buchanan contributes very interesting
paper on the organization Of the Exposi-
ton. Prof. Pupin, Col. David Porter
Heap, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Lavinia
Hart, Julian Hawthorn and John Brisben
Walker are among others who consider
the various phases Of the Exposition.
Under the direction of editors OF the
Cosmopolitan t05 photographs we're pre-
pared showing evey variety of architec-
ture and every phase Of life not neRlec-
ting the midway, at the Pan American.
These are engraved and printed in a style
never surpassed even in The Cosmopol-
itan's high standard Of art, +.
At Chicago thousands Of copies Of the
Worlds Fair numbaP were sold at ons

hausted. and few copies Rt the price Of
five dollars-something that has never
happened In the history OF any other Pc

yenir viii be an even finer number than
that of the Chicago Fair. To those who
have visited the Exposition 1t will recall
vividly in days to come every feature
they have seen and those who are unable
to go there will secure such q compFe-

will be well worthy of preservation.

The racing at the Fair Grounds saw many
notable performances and good races from

never raced at the track than competed in
the races Of the months OF May and June
until the opening Of the Washington Park

Come. Silverdale. Wax Taper. General Nc
Gruder. Otis. Helen Print and Kaloma have
been OF the highest class, and afforded ex-
cellent racing from the Proper point OF view
that Of a sportsman. However. there are

tirely through the glasses Of speculation.

OF the meeting were remarkable for their
freedom from appearance of fraud.
Probably the management Of the track
gave certain bold parties a quiet hint to
cut the funny business out or there would
be trouble. The parties whose horses did
not run to form may have fancied that they
had certain claims upon the management Of
the track which could not be ignored. In
