attracted at that particular time by the
Presidents presence. How we'll he
was pleased and how heartily he was
welcomed into the South, has been told
and told again by the daily press
Charleston did indeed give him roy
al welcome and he was alive to the
keenest appreciation of it all.
The Exposition is not great as an
exposition simply, for it has to COM
pete with the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
the Pan-American at Buffalo; but as
an Exposition Tor Charleston and South
Carolina it IS indeed very great. Mos.
of the credit of the whole thing is due,
we learned, to few braye, strong spirits
of Charleston and the work that has
been done and the exhibit shown fully
illustrate what may be done by bold
determination and persistent effort.
The Exposition is up-to-date in all
that has baen undertaken and while
1t does not compare in size with the
great World Fair at Chicag. IL some
respects it may be said to have mad
Improvements.
The Southern States as whole have
not made great exhibit, and herein
the South has missed fine opportu-
nifty. Many visitors have gone from
the North and they expected to see a
full display OF the South's products,
but they have been disappointed.
The Exposition as whole is we'll worth
visit by any one, North or South,
considering the cheap rates and the
light expense Of living few days in
Charleston.
Oi course South Carolina has the
most elaborate aud complete exhibit !,
but next comes North Carolina. Our
State ex hibit is very pretty and attracts
great attention. 1t shows we'll the
product OF North Carolina and is one
of the rncsa ;astily arranged exhibits
yet seen Oh any Exposition ground.
The exhibit from the West Indies is
very ! retsy and is quite creditably ar
ranged. The products OF the soil are
show, which in some cases are more
intert sing as curiosities than anything
else I'd the manufactured products
sho" veil.
Ms of the buildings representing
the N.i.i,ern States have no exhibits
at al!, bat present the appearance of
finely furnished club rooms.
The United States fish exhibit is
fine aad the Art building is one of
the rnost attractive there.
The Negro building is place of con-
siderable interest and the exhibit is
quite credltable. We were especially
struck by the display from the elk
mills at Fayetteville, which are oper-
ated by colored labor.
The Midway is Midway, OF
course, but has fewer Objectionable
features than we have seen before, and
the open gambler was not in evidence
about the Exposition grounds at oil.
Taken altogether the Exposition is a
fine success aud has many things to
Interest all who may find time and oc-
casiOn to visit 1t.
Charleston Itself is very attractive
old city. It has number OF fine
churches, good hotels, beautiful parks
cemeteries and the like, some large
business houses, some important man
ufactories, and many places OF historic
interest, such as Fort Sumter, Fort
Moultrie and the like.
All told we haye not spent few days
more pleasantly and profitably any,
where, and this is the estimate OF al
most every one who has visited the Ex-
position.

SALARY 81 A YEAR
SMALL COMPENSATION GIVEN
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
Keeper Of Bug Light" at Nantucket
Mass, Receives Annual Check TO-
One Hundred Cents-Not Calico
On to Perform Any Work.

Among the long list Of government
employees who draw salaries from
Uncle Sans pocketbook, the distinc-
ton of being the smallest salaried of
any falls to Charles Henry Gibbs.
keeper of the bug light" at Nan
tuckct. Mass. who annually about the
the goth of July receives a check Of
II. his years salary. and cashes it
with as much concern as II it were
81 100000 instead of 100 cents.
What is known as the Bug light
house is situated on a hill near Mo
nomoy, on h south side of Nan
tucket harbor. and at the time when
the island was at the height of its
fame as a whaling port was consid-
r an invaluable guide to vessels
entering the harbor at night. 1t ranged
with the light on Brant Point In such
a manner as to indicate the channel
entrance: but for i've twenty years
1t has not been used at all, the shift
Ing sands of Nantucket bar and the
buildings of the ~jetties bringing 1t
several hundred feet out of range.
The name Bug" was applied to the
light by the old mariners as a nick
name, evidently from its resemblance
to a fire fly when teen at a distance.
However. the government still re-
tains the lighthouse and is willing to
pay a man 81 a year to live there.
The keeper has no work to do. but Is
allowed to keep hens and breed cats
for a livelihood. Mr.. Gibbs Is one of
Nantucket's eccentric characters and
lives alone, coming to town only when
his stock of provisions is getting low.
He is a native OF the island. and in
early life learned the cooper's trade.
afterward going whaling for over
twenty years. and made several voy-
ages round the Horn" visiting nearly
every sea IN the globe. Since giving
up the sea he has made a living at
whatever kind of a job he could Sc
cure, and about eight years ago he
accepted his present position as
keeper Of the lighthouse.
Despite his threescore and ten years
he even now hires out to neighboring
farmers in haying time. and is an
expert berry picker. claiming he can
pick more berries In a day thar the
liveliest youngster on the island.
Mr.. Gibbs wears neither shoes nor
stockings in the summer time, but in
the winter resorts to the old-fashioned
leather boots. He says he does not
get lonesome, for his cats keep him
company. and he always has one
event to look forward to each year
the coming Of his check in July. when
he INDUCES in a few d%elicacies for his
table and one or two heads Of tobacco
for his enjoyment during the long
winter months.

DENVER AND WYOMING.

Senator Carey of Wyoming says that
Denver has a great opportunity in that
state, A circle drawn around Denver
with a radius reaching from this point
tc the southwestern corner of Colo
RADIO would take in a large part of
wyoming. and within it would be in
cluded a country as rich in a and
iron and oil as any other part of the
Rocky mountains.
The day is coming when Wyoming
will contain a large population, and
already it's people nave so far de
veloped its resouce that they supply
a large trade. The struggle for this
trade is not one between Denver and
and of the cities of Wyoming, but be-
tween this place and Omaha and Chi
cago. 1t is Denver in its character as
a distributing and manufacturing cen
ter that we are considering; and it
would be-. not in conflict, but in sym
pathy with the Wyoming towns that
this city would develop its opportuni-
ties to the north.
Our people have given close atten-
ton to Colorado matters, but the Colo
rado-Wyoming line has seemed to
stand as a barrier to their advance
toward the north. State lines should
never be barriers of this kind. Den
yer people never look upon them as
such when they are trying to secure
the investment of eastern capital in
Colorado enterprises. They SHOULD let
no such wall stand in the way of their
investment in Wyoming.
A ball tied to a rubber string will
come back to the hand of h throw
eli and so capital invested will come
back. not only as interest on the in
vestment, but as trade pursuing a new,
" opened line Of communication. Let
Denver capitalists aid in the devel-
opment of Wyoming's resourCes. and
they will surely see the good fruits
OF their ventures returning to them in
increasing trade and all the benefits
that arise from cordial and friendly
intercourse Denver has neglected
away it's opportunity n allowed it
to fall into the lap of Omaha. Chey,
enne is nearer than Pueblo to Denver,
and yet to nan Of our people it
seems far off. 1t should be so no
longer. The door of Wyoming is op,
en-, and Denver should enter in.-Den,

Gently visited that place. The cir
Gus, which had given a two days
performance in Tours, was making
its final parade through the streets.
When the Place Nicolas Pruneau was
reached Fritz. with a mighty effort,
freed himself from his chains, rose
on his hind legs, trumpeting loudly.
and causing a panic among the crowd.
Fortunately two keepers managed to
entangle his feet with ropes. but this
only increased the animals fury, and
he struggled violently. swapping two
large trees. After some exciting mo-
ments he was brought to the ground
and securely bound. The authorities
were notified Of tho occurrence, and
q picket Of infantry was sent to stop
all traffic on the place. The circus
proprietors eventually decided that
Fritz should be killed. Cables, pull.
leys and windlasses were brought and
the huge brute was strangled. The
body has been offered to the Tours
