The building which is to house the ex-
hibit in manufactures and liberal arts at
Buffalo is now reaching completion, and
will be one Of the most imposing in the
fine group surrounding the Court of
Fountains. 1t is 500 by $50 feet, with a
central court, and a dome 10 feet in d.
ameter over the entrance to the south.
Broad steps between groups Of beautiful
statuary lead up to this entrance, which
consists of lofty arch, with columns on
either side. Elaborate sculpture in relief
enriches the gable. Statues symbolizing
the various arts and industries are to be
placed in inches at the angles Of the open
towers around the dome, from whose in
terror visitors can look down from gal
leries and obtain view of the throngs
below.
The exhibits to be placed in this build
ing vii! illustrate the mental, moral and
social progress of mankind in the West
ern hemisphere. Under the general clas-
siication Of liberal arts will be all arti-
cles relating to education or social econ
omy, books and periodicals, scientific ap-
paratus, hygiene and sanitation, musical
instruments, public works, civil engineer
ing, constructive architecture, photo
graphs and Photographic supplies, medi-
cal and dental and surgical apparatus,
and other branches of applied intellectual
activity. The work Of collecting and
classifying these exhibits is now we'll un-
der way and is in charge, Of DR.. Selim n.
Peabody, who successfully handled the
same division at the Columbian Exposi-
ton.
The sculpture for the Temple of Music
is to be among the most exquisite in the
whole exposition, and with its mural dec
orations this building will constitute one
of the most artistic features.
Throughout the beautiful grounds, COM
sprising 25O acres, there will be 125 splen.
did original groups of statuary, symbolic
ing the purposes of the buildings and
bringing out the poetry in what to many
may seem exceedingly prosaic depart
Dlents. The fountain Of Man by Charles
Crafty, at the east end of the esplanade
is fanked 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 esplanade the fountain Of Ma
ture by George T. Brewster is the most
elaborate sculptural adornment, its mean.
ing being ampli6eQ in minor fountains
such as the fountain of Ceres, and groups
typifying mineral wealth, animal wealth.
etc. These symbolic ideas will be work
ed out in beautiful forms in other por
tions Of the main court.
Already the exposition grounds, viewed
from a little distance, present the appear.
ance of Il beautiful and stately little city,
and when all is complete and winters
frosts shall have given place to the sun
light and warmth Of summer the charm
Of the scene will be such that the impres.
sion it conveys will be we'll worth storing
among the pictures of lifetime.

Peruna can be bought at any drug store,

Peruna is not a guess, nor an expert

located. Peruna has no substitutes-no
rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let
no one persuade you that some other

is Peruna that has given me such good
health."-J. MakinsOu.
AS result Of the changeable climate,
catarrh has become one of the most
prevalent and universal diseases known
to man. Nearly ene third Of the people
Of the United States are afflicted with
catarrh in some Of its many phases and
stages. Add to this the fact that catarrh
rapidly tends to become fixed or chronic,
also the further fact that It IS capable
Of producing a great many ether dis
eases, and we begin to realize the true
nature Of this dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that In every city or town Of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment Of catarrh spe-
cialty. OF course a great deal Of good
is accomplished in this way, but as yet
a comparatively small number Of the
people can avail themselves Of this treat
1nent because Of the great expense neces-
sarily attached to it.

Washington, July 3O,--Thc weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con
ditions says:
Intense heat prevailed during the
greater part of the week throughout
the central valleys, but the tcmpera-
lures during the last three days were
more moderate. Good rains have fallen
over a large part of the drought area
In the Mississippi and upper Missouri
valleys, but drought conditions have
become more serious in the ONO valley
and Tennessee. where the week mas
been rainless. except in a few locall-
ties.
In the Atlantic coast districts the
weather conditions have been generally
favorable, except over portions OF tile
Carolnas and Virginia. where rain is
now needed. The conditions were alsG
favorable on the Pacific coast.
Recent rains have improved late corn
In portions Of Nebraska Kansas, OKLA
homa and Missouri, but the early crop
was practically ruined before the rains
came. In Iowa the crop has sustained
less injury than in the hcforemcntion'
ed states, and the rainfall has been CO.
plous and well distributed. In the
great corn states east of the MiSsiSslp
pi river. except over northern LIMOS,
drought and excessive heat have con
tinued with disastrous effects upon
corn, which is now in critical
condition. In Michigan and generally
throughout the middle Atlantic states
and New England the corn crop Is in
fine condition.

Both Admiral Dewey. the president

The latter has formally acknowledged
the receipt of the order OF Secretary

RING IN MUIR
DER MYSTERY.

West Chester. Pa, July 20.-The
story Of a diamond ring has become
an interesting chapter in the Pratt
murder my stery, and it may have
censiderab bearing in supplying
a motive if Pratt committed the
deed. 1t was whispered around to-
day that Pratt had lately ordered
a lady's diamond ring from prom.
inent jeweler Of this town, and it is
pretty certain that it was intended
for some one other than his wife.
William S. Hill, whose place of
business is in Church street, IS the
ieweler who was finally located as
the one who had been given the or
der tor the ring. Mr.. Hill made the
following statement:
"Pratt did order a ring OF me,
and when he gave me the order he
showed me lady's ring of unique
design. He wanted me to get one
OF the same style. stating at the
time that he would want it by the
4th of August. He did not say, and
do not know, who owned the ring
he exhibited to me. | at once pro-
ceeded TO communicate with firm
regarding the making % the kind
of ring desired. was informed the
factory would not be started up un.
til after July 10.
"The ring was ordered by me,
but as soon as learned Of the death
Of Mrs. Pratt and of the mystery
surrounding the case l at once
countermanded the order.
As recently as last Monday a
week. July II, Pratt was in the
store and, asked me if would have
the ring by the time specified for
its delivery. He particularly re-
quested me to be sure and not dis
appoint Kim in having it ready by
the last OF this week. "
The questions now arise: Who is
the owner Of the "unique ring
which Pratt wanted Jeweler Hill to
duplicate? Why was Pratt SO anx'
ious Tor Mr.. Hill to procure the dia'
mond ring by the 4th Of August!
For whom was it meant! These
questions are now puzzllng the
authorities and have added inter-
est to the case.
The hearing of William II. Pratt
on the charge of numbering his
wife, which was to have been held
tomorrow before Justice Of the
Peace Paxson. has been postponed
until late in the week. In all prob
ability it will be held on Friday
by which time the Common wealth
hopes to be fully prepared topiov
its case.

ises was made to-day, 1t has beef
