RARE COMBINATION.
The Floral and Electrical Display q!
the Pan-American Exposition.

the Pam Anne rican Exposition.
There Is saying that FLOWERS are
the poetry Of earth, as stars are the
poetry of heaven" IL this be true. the
beauty Of the floral effects to be seen
at the Pan-American Exposition will be
pronounced as a rare combination OF
both. for never yet at an exposition
have such magnificent effects been
seen as will be visible in some Of the
fountain basins at the Pan-American.
There beautiful plants and flowers,
kissed to q state Of dewy dazzlement
by the falling spray and the glow of
concealed incandescent lamps. will de.
light the visitor.
At the exposition in Omaha some
little success was obtained in thus
lighting up the flowers and the foliage
Of plants in the water basins. and this
has led Henry +. Rustin. chief Of the
mechanical and electrical bureau. to at
tempt to enlarge upon what he accom-
plished in Omaha. When thus lighted.
the flowers and plants take upon them
selves new colors. each one seemingly
more beautiful than the color displayed
under full sunlight. Then the little
mystery Of where the illumination
comes from is delightful. and. knowing
this, the skilled electrician is most care
full to conceal his lamps where least
likely to attract the eye. Perhaps an
artificial leaf, an artificial flower, Is
used to hide the lamp. but its full bril-
liancy is allowed to beam upon the
plant and flowers, making a picture
that Is lasting 1t is when such effects
are obtained that the full appreciation
of enjoyment is expressed In the single
word beautiful" 1t was so at Omaha.
and 1t will be more SO at the Pan
American.

NO CLASH IN CHINA.
Anglo-Russian Dispute Has
Been Exaggerated.
BOTH SIDES NAY WITHDRAW.
English Papers Have Used ProvOca-
tive Language, but Great Britt
ain In In No shape For
Another War.

LONDON, March 19.--The difficulty
at Tien-tsin over the construction Of a
railroad siding will probably be solved
by the withdrawal Of both the British
and Russian troops from the ground in
dispute. 1t is believed here that too
much has been made Of the incident, and
a more hopeful view of the affair is
taken.
While hostilities are out Of the ques
tion, however, it is not unlikely that
diplomatic relations between Great Brit
ain and Russia will become strained al
most to the breaking point. Possibly
British warships may be dispatched to
bring pressure to bear upon Russia, but
war will not result unless some fracas
quite unauthorized by London and st.
Petersburg occurs between the opposing
forces at Tien-tsin.
This assertion is based upon exhaustive
inquiries in London. A prominent Brit
ish official, often the mouthpiece of the
government, whose position makes it
undesirable that he should be named in
lhis connection, said last evening:
1T is useless for our newspapers to
use provocative language. They forget
that we have great army in South
Africa and that we have no other army
nor the makngs OF one elsewhere. 1t is
impossible to go to war with Russia"
semofiicial statement was issued
last evening to the effect that the much
talked of assurances of the Russian for
eign minister, Count Lamsdorff, to Sir
Charles Stewart Scott, British embassa-
dor at ST. Petersburg, were made Feb.
and evidently referred to the Russo
Chinese agreement concluded at Port
Arthur last November and not to the
Manchurian convention.
Inquiries at the Chinese legation yes
terday afternoon were rewarded by the
reply, His excellency has gone to bed, F"
which was presumably the Celestial
equivalent Of an assurance that the Chi
nese minister preferred to say nothing
as to the most recent developments. The
Japanese legation was equally noncom-
initial.
1t is understood that one official view
Is that the dispGte may eventually be
referred to arbitration.

Pan.American Exposition Aglow
with Beautiful Co1ors.
Perhaps nothing has been more talk
ed about than the color scheme of the
Pan-American. 1t was a daring thing
to attempt to array in colors the ex-
tensive buildings of this Exposition. for
scarcely any precedent existed for such
an undertaking, and to attempt 1t and
fail would be disastrous indeed. 1t
was out of the question to duplicate the
White City at Chicago. Something alb
solutely new must be devised for the
Pan-American at Buffalo. Happily the
Spanish renaissance architecture fur
nished the hint for the solution Of this
problem, and now that it has been
solved and the color scheme Is seen to
be so well adapted to the purposes Of

Neuralgia.
The Prayer Of a Nerve for

Neuralgia may attack any part of the body
but most frequently occurs where the nerves
are most abundant.
In the head.
In the face.
Sometimes the heart nerves seem to twist
Twinging rheumatic pains of the extremi-
ties
Sharp and intense at times
In the intervals dull and heavy.
Neuralgia is the result of impoverished
blood caused by impairment Of the nerves
lack of nerve force.
1t Is a disease of the nerve centers and
the pains accompanying it are prayer for
better nourishment. They are the danger
signals which warn you against total col
lapse OF the nervous system.
Liniments and all external applications
can only give temporary relief. Permanent
cure cannot possibly come until the nerve
centers are thorougly revitalized and reinvig-
GRATED by DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills.
The beneficial effects Of this great nerve re-
storative are felt thrilling through the nerve
fibres as week by week and month by month
the nerve force Of the body is restored.
