MAY BE Pc STPONED.


Washing ton, April IA The Louis
lana Purchase exposition is to be post
poned until 1904 Announcement to-
this effect will be made within thenext
10 days. This is a stat ement made by
j John M. Allen, after5a conference with
former Senator Thomas Carter, chair
man Of the national commission for
the fail, who reached Washing Sat
urday morning direct from st. Louis.
where he conferred with the officials
of the exposition company. Itt is be-
will be made shortly after the passage
of the sundry civil appropriat ton bill,
which is under consideration in the
senate committee on appropriations
The bill carries an appropriation OF
more than 81, 00O, 900 for the fair. Tt
already has passed the house Of rep
resentatives. Mr.. Allen has spent the
time since his arrival here visiting the
government departments and inform
ing himself as to the necessity Of the
government in the preparation of its
exhibit. He has been informed that
the government building cannot be
completed in time. He has learned
that there is q general Discrimination
on the part Of foreign governments to
participate in the fair unless it is post
poned beyond 1903. He has found no
opposition on the part Of anyone in
congress to postponement. When last
in St. Louis Mr.. Allen talked with
prominent members Of the local cor
poration and reached the conclusion
that postponement was desired and
was considered inevitable. There is
reason for believing that Mr.. Carter
shortly will have assurances from the
local management which will warrant
the national commission in meeting
and informing the president of the de-
STABILITY of postponement: The ac-
tual form to be complied with has not
been determined fully. The St. Louis
management hopes that President
Roosevelt can be induced to send a
message to congress suggesting the
necessity of postponement. RI
If such action can be secured, it will
simplify the postponement. Legisla-
ton will be necessary, but friends of
the fair in both senate and house be-
lieve this will be a comparatively easy
task if not delayed too long. Ill it%
St. Louis, April 14.-Local. worlds
fair officials do not indorse the state
ments made by National Commission
ers Allen and Carter at Washington
that because the United States gov
eminent, in addition to foreign gov
ernments, could not be ready for the
opening of the worlds fair in 1908,
announcement Of the postponement
should be made. Several of the expo
sition officers were seen after the
publication of the telegram from
Washington and all maintained the
ground taken in the beginning, that
there need be no postponement un-
less such action is forced by the non
action of those who must of necessi-
ty assist in the building of the fair.

ed, Commencing the President for
Appointing Collector Deyeaux nnh
Postmaster Blum, and Commencing
These officials for the Administra-
ton of Their Offices.
The Republican County Executive
Committee met yesterday. The meeting
was largely attended and matters af-
fecting the welfare of the party were
thoroughly discussed.
Among the decision of the committee
was one empowering the chairman OF
militia districts to call mass meetings
in their districts for the purpose of
encouraging the voters to rally.
The meeting was presided oyer by
Capt. j. c. Simmons, who outlined the
policy of the committee.
Resolutions were introduced by Sol
C. johnson commencing President
Roosevelt for the appointments of Col
John H. Deveaux as collector of Gus
toms, and Capt. Henry Blum, Jr., as
postmaster, and praising these ap-
pointees for the appointments they
made in their respective offices, which
were for the best interest of the party
in the state and county.
Speeches were made by DR.. J. j.
Durham, Prof. S. b. Morse, R. V. RVt-
ledge Rev. w. N. Styles, E. W. Sher-
man and others.
The District Committee will meet on
Sept. %, and if it is decided to put out
a candidate, the county committee
will hold another meeting to further
this purpose.
One of the committee said that the
matter of running a congressional
candidate was also considered, and
there was much division of sentiment,
but the majority did not think it wise
to select a moneyed man to make the
race. The idea, he said, is to get l.. M.
Peasants or some one equally eligible,
and thus, while having candidate in
the field in accordance with the wish
es of the President as expressed in
regard to Southern Republicans. ne
would not be one who would be in
position to make trouble for the Dem
ocrats.
Savannah Republicans do NOT look
kindly on the admonition that has
come from the head of the party They
say that he does not understand con-
ditions in the South. and that to try
to follow his mandate would only stir
up bitterness and cause trouble. If
there were a white Republican party
in the South. the committeeman said,
there would be some use putting can
didates in the race for the various Of
fees, but to do so under existing con-
ditions would result in i'll feeling. If it
is thought necessary, man will be
run, but his candidacy will be for the
principle more than for ANYTHING else

'SOme Sound Sense for Reflection


Remember that it is worry, not work
that kills. Get your life purposely in
sured, then you will stop worrying.
Those who are safely insured do live
longer, for they do not worry con-
corning the welfare of their wives and
the little ones. Life insurance gives
protection continuously and instead of
being an expense it is in reality and
surely a saving of money. Even if you
are poor or in debt, you had best not
procrastinate, waiting for a favora-
BILE time-it may never come. Life in
surance is the one thing the sheriff
cannot touch and its possession may
save many times it's value to your es-
tate. 1t is better than trying to ac-
cumulate a competency in a savings
bank, gives equally as good, frequently
better, interest, with the protection
thrown in. 1t secures you a compe-
tency for your own old age.
When you fail to insure your house,
you take all the chances, but when
you fail to insure your life, your wife
and babies. take all the risk. Have
you ever had the laws of Massachu-
sets explained to you? They throw
more safeguards around policy-hold-
ers than the laws of any other state
in the Union. Let us tell you about
them. Send us your age and address

GIVEN A HANDSOME PURSE.
Y. NJ. c. AS Gift to Physical Direc-
tor j. C. Blake,

\. NJ. G. AS Gift to Physical Dtrec-
tor j. C. Blake,
An agreeable surprise was given Mr..
]. C. Blake, physical director of the
Y. M. C. A. last night in the presen-
tation of handsome purse made up
by the members OF the association in
token of their appreciation of Mr..
Blake's faithful and efficient work in
the three years he has been in charge
of the gymnasium. The presentation,
which was made by Mr.. H. M. John
son, secretary of the association, was
quite informal, only a few members
of the association being present.
AS has already been announced in
the Morning News, Mr.. Blake has re-
signed from the association to begin
the study of medicine. For this pur-
pose he will enter the University of
Virginia, for which institution he will
leave within the next few days, prob
ably Tuesday night. Mr.. Blake will
take with him the best wishes of a
very large number of friends.
The association has extended call
to a successor for Mr.. Blake, but has
not yet concluded the contract. In the
meantime the classes of the gymnasium
will be held as formerly, conducted by
Secretary H. M. Johnson and an able
corps of instructors.
