Exposition at Chicago at corresponding
period prior to the opening of that
Exposition was but A per cent com
pleted.
Many of the State and Foreign
Buildings are now nearly completed,
while the others are in various stages
of construction.
Numerous temporary hotels are be-
ing constructed in close proximity to
the Worlds Fair Grounds, and a mum
Der of permanent modern hotels are
being erected in the heart of the
city,
The Worlds Fair officials at this
time have listed rooming accommoda
tion in hotels and rooming houses, suf
flcent to take care of 10000 people
and 1t Is expected that by the openinf

al and International Conventions hav,
been secured for st. Louis during tn,
year 1904, and 1t is expected that som,

The Canadian Minister of the In
terror says thai every boy in Canada
should be taught the use of rifle
and when he is twenty. one the gov
ernment should present him with one
of the best made. Such a plan is
followed in Switzerland, where every
citizen is given rifle and ammuni-
ton. The latter he must not use ex-
cept when called to war. The aver
age Swiss is consequently the best
marksman in Europe and perhaps in

The editor of the Maumee Advance
Era seems worried because the Blade
published an article stating that a
large order for machinery had been
placed with New York firm for the
power plant to be erected on the Per

ted that Brother Dickson should be
so disturbed. 1t is possible he may
desire Mr.. Publ to run the water down
the Main street of Maumee which
has recently been put in excellent
condition for that purpose, which may
be his reason for feeling so nervous
every time Perrysburg is mentioned.

LYCEU VI THEATRE.

The two jolly fellows, Murray and
Mack, and their merry coterie of laugh
provokers, are heading this way, and
are bringing with them all the musical
hits, witty catch phrases and clever
specialties which are now town talk
wherever they have appeared. The
secret of the success of Murray and
Mack, especially in their latest edition
of "a Night on Broadway" lies in the
fact that their performance is always
kept up to date, and, if possible, a
little way beyond.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted, and before it has become set
tied in the system. In almost every
instance severe cold may be ward
ed off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving 1t
to children, for it contains no harmful
substance 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it, Buy
it and you will get the best. 1t always
cures. For sale by Bowers & Com

NEW SYSTEM OF POSTAL CHECKS 5.

Representative Dwight of New
York has introduced bill in Con-
gress providing for postal currency
with notes of 5, 10, 25 and so cents,
to be issued by the Postmaster Gen
eral and sold by all postmasters.
This, or a similar, system of postal
checks would be great convenience
to the public. Our present money
order system is cumbersome. Even
in the large cities it is impossible to
get money order in many Offices
after six o'clock. 1t is necessary to
write an order for the order and this
in turn is copied by the clerk. The
receiver of the order has to establish
his identity and, if the amount is at
all large, the smaller offices are not
able to pay it at once. The order it
self is expensive. Itwould be saw
ing of time, labor and expense to all
concerned if it were possible to buy
postal currency as easily as stamps.
Another resolution has been intro
duced providing for l cent postage.
This too would meet public approval.
The revenue which the Department
might lose through one cent postage
could be made up in part by the cor
rection of abuses in second class mail
matter. The privilege of second class
mail benefits primarily the publisher
and the advertiser. 1t should be ac
corded only to bona tide periodicals.,
which are not mere advertising me
diums or books. This is the law and
it is now being gradually enforced.
1t is the abuse of this privilege which
causes the annual deficit in the De
partment. The franking privilege is
also abused, especially by members
of Congress who frequently send
hundreds, even thousands of pounds
of mail free under the Congressional
frank.
There is furthermore no sound rea
son why there should not be a par
cells post in this country similar tC
that in England, Germany and mos
of the other Europeon countries. Ii
Germany it is possible to order good
by post and have them sent collect Oh
delivery. This is a great convenience
to people who live outside of tn
large cities. The German money OF
der system also is far superior to tn
American. The order is sent in tn
form of post card and the postma
brings the money with it, On tn
card there is room to write the pun
pose for which the money is sen
In purchasing from stores in othe
cities this is especially convenient.
