BANQUET IN CHICAGO.
President Francis Outlines Main
Ideas of Fair.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 31.-"The Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition will be an eX-
hibit of process rather than progress.
We could fill our buildings many times
of the world, but we have decided
rather to show the manner in which
things are made"
In this manner David r. Francis,
president Of the st. Louis exposition,
outlined the central ideas of the
Worlds fair of 1904 to the members of
the Commercial club at banquet at
the auditorium
The representatives of the st. Louis
fair in addition to President Francis
were Corwin H. Spencer, vice presi-
dent; F. j. V. Slif, director of exhibits;
Norris B. Gregg, director of conces-
sions; Isaac S. Taylor, director of
works; Isaac W. Morton, chairman of
the committee on arts, and n. H

ter Not only in material exhibits will
we have a grand display, but we shall
try to bring out the best in art and
sciences. We shall have congresses in
both arts and science, in which scholars
from all over the globe will parrici-

ton a golden milestone in the history
of the world"

Without its atmosphere, which serves
as a coverlet to protect it against the
fearful cold of space, the surface Of the
earth would be. frozen like that Of the

Runaway Accident.

Last Monday Mr.. j. NJ. Jennings drove
to Denmark to take the early Seaboard
train, his little son accompanying him to
bring the horse and buggy back. On his
way home the horse commenced running
away down the clay hill just outside OF
the town limits. The little fellow climb
ed out the back of the buggy and escaped
injury, and the horse ran on. Near the
colored Methodist church some negroes
attempted to stop the horse by getting in
front of him, but he turned quickly to the
right at the cross street where there is a
bridge and fell on the bridge, breaking
bis right fore leg just above the hoof. 1t
is thought that he will get well, on ac-
count of the leg being fractured just where
it is.
