Pan-American Has the Best Ever
Seen mt u show.
In it's sculptural adornment, as well
as in several other respects. the Pam
American Exposition will far surpass
any enterprise Of the kind ever held.
There are over 125 splendid original
groups, and they are to be used around
the Court of Fountains, the Esplanade
and the Electric Tower. They will
symbolic the purposes of the build
ings and exhibits and bring out the
poetry in what to many may seem ex-
ceedingly prosaic things.
After crossing the Triumphal Bridge,
which is the grand formal entrance to
the main court and is itself to be dec
Grated with splendid statuary, one will
see to the right and left, at opposite
ends of the Esplanade. the fountains
and the sunken gardens in front of the
United States Government and Horti-
culture buildings respectively.
The Fountain of Man, by Charles
Crafty, is the central fountain at the
east of the Esplanade, and 1t is 1anked
by the Fountain of Prometheus and
the Fountain of Hercules. The sub
jects of other fountains in this group
will be the Savage Age, the Despotic
Age and the Age of Enlightenment. At
the other end Of the E~splanade the
Fountain of Nature, by George I.
Brewster, is the most elaborate sculp-
tural adornment. and the idea OF this
fountain is amplified in minor ones,
such as the Fountain of Kronos, Foun-
tain of Ceres and the groups typifying
Mineral Wealth. Animal Wealth, etc.
These symbolic ideas will be worked
out in beautiful forms In other parts Of
the main court and in connection with
the Electric Tower and other buildings.
the whole forming a most complete and
harmonious expression of the purposes
Of a great Exposition. such as the Pan
| American.

MACHINERY AND TRANSPORTATION BUILDING
the east and west sides are massive
domes. Two very tall towers rise above
both the north and south entrances
and help to complete two wonderful
architectural compositions. Imagine.
If you can. the delicate and beautiful
character of this unique work. Some
one has said 1t reminded the observer
Of a skillful confectioner's best
achievements in a fancy wedding cake
many times exaggerated. The compari-
son is not inappropriate perhaps. FOR
the Exposition celebrates a closer UNI
ion Of the several Americas. and In the
original white the wonderful coInpo-
sitlons OF staff which crown these tow
ers possessed the apparent delicacy OF
one OF these marvellous creations OF
the eonfectioner.
But color has been added. and the
white has disappeared. The likeness
is no longer there. The brilliant colors
that the Moors loved so steadfastly
hundreds of years ago In Granada and
Andalusia have been revived. better
than the originals. The majestic col
umns and fancy pillars look like carv-
ed ivory. The arabesques have a
background of brilliant shades. such
as yellows. pinks and reds of varying
degrees of brightness. The round
domes have bands of green and other
shades. The roofs are all OF red tile.
The broad caves are upheld by sub.
stantial brackets that resemble rose
wood carved In intricate design. The
lofty towers present a radiance OF
blues. reds and gold. Medalllons OF
Ericsson and other famous men who
have given the world wonderful ma
chinery are surrounded with a glow OF
color.
Difficult or impossible as II. may seem
to the reader to employ brilliant colors
SO freely upon a great building such as
this without destroying It's grandeur
and c~heapening Its appearance. the
problem has been magnilcently work
ed out. and the effect is not merely
pleasing and harmonious. but the work
is an artistic triumph that every person
from far and neal will delight to see.
The wonderful harmony of the many
colors that have been used is at once
observed. and there is no one feature
OF the Exposition that has aroused
more popular interest than the great
color scheme. With the 20 or more
other big buildings. all aglow with col
or and adorned with richly nodded
plastic work. the effect will be a pro-
found surprise to those who have visit
ed other Expositions.

EXPOSITION BEAUTY.
PUTTING THE RAINBOW coLoRS ON
ONE or Sig BUILDINGS.

Early Hints of What the visitors
May see of Nodded Plastic orna-
m~entatioa and Color Decoration at
Pnn-Amerfcan Exposition.
1t is now possible TO 20 somewhat
more into detail regarding the plastic
and color work upon the various build
ings Of the Pan-American Exposition.
The most advanced of the buildings is
that to be devoted to machinery. The
staff upon the exterior of this edince is
noE nearly all In place. and the great
structure is Ia the hands of the color
artists.
Though a very large building. 900 by
$50 feet, the four facades are SO bro
ken by architectural features that
there Is nothing of monotony or sever
ity. Every one who has the good for
tune TO visit the grounds duri-g this
advanced stage Of development lnhes-
itatingly applauds the happy results OF
both the architectural and color
schemes.
In order that the reader may have q
correct understanding let me first de-
scribe the nodded work with which the
exterior of the building Is ornamented.
BY means of the very ingenious pro-
duction known as staff. which Is made
out Of white plaster, into which liberal
quantities of manila fiber have been
mixed In order TO make 1t tough and
durable. the Exposition buildings are
given the appearance of solidity and
Nlassiseness as well as the beauty of
rf>>ly carved stone. But, since the
mat,>l is not stone. the idea Of add
ing color The work has been suggest
ed. How to apply the color so that 1t
would heighten the beauty of the work
has taxed the ingenuity of the most
famous. mural painter of the world.
Mr.. Charles Y. Turner Of New York.
The very intricate character of the
staff work and the vast amount OF II
In delicate designs offered a most for
bidding task. All four of the broad
facades of the building have an arcad-
ed effect. Every window Is a deeply
recessed arch, with wide sofiits and
castings. Every entrance is composed Of
one or more high arches, with massive
pillars at the sides, and every pillar
and plaster is of very elaborate detail.
Every window Is grilled and finished
with fidelity TO the most artistic Ideas
Of architects Of the spanish renais-
sance. from which the general archi.
tectural scheme Of the Exposition Is
derived.
At the four corners Of the great
building are four towers. with open
p%avilions. so feet above the ground.

Manila. Feb. 26.-Rev. Father Me-

rotary TO Mgr. ChappelIe and who is
now pastor Of the Ermita Catholic
church, informed a press representa-

of 500 native priests in the Philippines
opposed to the Federal party. and that
these would refuse to administer the
sacrament to Federalists, because they
believed the Federal party to be mere

The cornerstone OF the Carnegie Ii
brary In Washington will be laid In a
few weeks. According TO the idea now
held by the turstees, the ceremony will
be very simple, just the ordinary form
for such an occasion as prescribed by
the Masonic fraternity being used. Pop
ular interest in the ceremony will CEN
ter in the mallet and trowel to be used.
They are the ones used by President
Washington In laying the cornerstone
of the capitol in 1893. They have not
been used since then. They are the
property Of Alexandria lodge. of which
Washington was once worshipful mas
ter. The trowel blade is made OF sill
yer, the handle of ivory.
As Senator Lindsay has the most

because they know that his words are
inaudible ha.f q dozen feet away. He
is tall enough and big enough to have a
voice that can be heard a mile away,
but the sounds that issue from his lips
are softer than a Kittens pur.
Even when the roll, lis called Mr..

The twin city express, due in Man
kato at 30 p. m, ran down a young
German farmer on a crossing d quar-
ter of a mile southwest of Lake Crys-
tai yesterday afternoon at about four
o'clock. The young .man-.was driving
along in a buggy with. the sides closed
for warmth, and thought he could
cross before the train arrived. The
horses got owe in safety, ssbut the en-
CINE struck the buggy, demolishing it.
The young man was thrown out and
received dreadful injuries.

Hawley farm with his brother, south
east of Lake Crystal. One of his legs
was broken and his hip joint shatter-
ed, his head was bruised and some of
his teeth were knocked out.
The train was stopped and backed
up, but as several teams were COM
ing along toward the village, Drevlow
was picked up and placed in one Of
these vehicles and conveyed to Lake
Crystal. He was placed in the Com
mercial hotel and it will be six weeks
before he will be able to leave it.
Drs. Cullum and Herring ARE attend

sent for, but was unable to go.
Mr.. Drevlow was fortunate in es-
Gaping with his life. AS it is, all pos
sible is being done for him.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Fire Discovered in the Kuehne Wagon
Shop Last Night.

The wagon shop at the corner Of
Second and Mulberry streets, owned
by the Kuehne estate, had a narrow
escape from destruction by fire last
night. S. V. Page occupies a portion
of the second floor as a paint shop,
and the fire started there. 1t was
discovered at 10 40 p. m. and a still
alarm was sent in from the American
House. The building was filed with
smoke and the fire had burned a hole
in the floor four or five feet in di anne
ter and in twenty minutes more would
have reached the paints and n of B.
D. Pay & Sons hacks, and the build
ing could not then have been saved.
AS it was, the fire was soon extin-
guished with a chemical. The damage
will not be great.

1t is proposed to increase the pay of
grand and petit jurors from So to So
per day. The reasons given therefor
are good. They are that since it is no
longer considered an honor to sit upon
the jury a man ought hardly to be
asked to leave his business at a sacri-
fee for So per day. The greatest in.
justice seems to be worked upon far
mers and business men outside of the
county seat, and the great majority
of the jury come from outside, 1t costs
them the greater share of what they
get to pay their expenses while attend
ing court, and then there is their loss
of time to their business besides. On
the other hand there is the danger of
stimulating the efforts of the profess
sional juror to get on the list, and also
in increasing his number. If the
measure could insure more care in the
selection of the jury it would remove
much of the objection that a be
urged against it. If So per day would
work an improvement in the makeup
of the average juries, the bill would
deserve unanimous adoption.
