will be displayed by the Sultan of Su-
lu and part of his court.
Three carloads of sculpture from the
EXposition's enlarging shops in New
York are already on the grounds, and
about one hundred and fifty sculptOrs
in various parts of the United States
are at work under contract on scale
models aggregating 100000 In cost.
OF the forty-five states, territories
and possessions of the United States,
and the twenty-five powers which have
up to the present made appropriations
for participation in the exposition,
Mexico and Iowa alone began actual
building operations before the dedica-
ton. Many contracts for these build
ings have been let.
Out of the confusion of ponderous
scaffolded timber skeletons high in
air, of heaps of building materials of
every description, of railroad cars and
derricks and engines, which prevails all
over the two square miles OF fair
grounds, except in the tidied-up main
avenue, there comes an impressive
sense of stored-up energy. An i'm
mense equipment of saw-mills, motors,
tools, hoisting engines, tackle and rig
ging has accumulated on the grounds,
and scores of eager and able contrac-
tors in every line of work are estab-
lished there ready to pounce on every
job that shows itself. Eight big, per-
fectly equipped staff shops are in OPP
era ton.

BY MARS HALL LORD.

''Wyndham used TO be too beautiful"
said a famous London sculptor recent
IN. but I have noticed lately that the
big work he is doing has strengthened
the lines in his face and given it the
last touch it needed to make it well
nigh ideal. don't mean that it was
ever a weak face-only that it was
almost too perfect"
His classic outlines is one of the re-
markable things about George Wynd-
ham, who, as Great Britains Chief
Secretary for Ireland, has drawn the
attention of the world to himself by
his Irish land bill. Even men admire
his six-foot figure of perfect proper
tions, his finely cut face, his brilliant
eyes, his dark hair and mustache; and
he is variously and invariably describ-
ed by such phrases as 1.-The handsomest
man in the House of Commons" the
English Apollo" and a man with Just
a suspicion of Italian opera"
A Descendant of an Irish Rebel.
Another remarkable thing about Mr..
Wyndham, who is now looked upon
as the creator of a new and better Ire
land is that he is a direct descendant
of one of the most famous and bravest
of the old Irish rebels who fought Eng
land to the last drop of their blood.
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, whose only
daughter, Lady Campbell, was George
Wyndham's grandmother, died of a
wound which he received when lead
ing his Irish followers against British
troops.

world that he was not a mythical per-
son. like the Mrs. Harris" of Sairey
Camp, but being of bone and sinew.
His Ideal Position.
To-day George Wyndham's posi-
tions is one which can be described as
pretty nearly ideal.
Through his own efforts distinction
after distinction has come to him.
The grandson of a peer, he began life,
like Lord Rosebery and Winston
Churchill, with birth and fortune to
aid him He married a rich, beautiful
and titled woman, the Countess Gros-
venor, and by this act became step
father to the young Duke of West
minister, the Peer in England, and
connected with the Marquis of Lands
downe, the former Minister of War,
whose laundering Boer War policy
Wyndham, when Under Secretary
of War. defended with such remark
able skill, in the House of Commons.
His gifts as an orator are not ordi-
nary ones, for he not only speaks
forcibly and gracefully, but he has the
rare knack of presenting a subject in
the clearest ability to make even fig
ures interesting. Under a fusilade of
questions from the Irish and Liberal
benches he displays a sang froid that
not even Mr.. Chamberlain himself can
surpass So it is little wonder that he
is being hailed in England as the
probable next premier.
Power in Literature.
Notwithstanding all his political ac-
tivity, the Secretary of State for Ire
land has found time to develop the lit

THE PIANO FACTORY.
Machinery and Expert Mechanics

Machinery and Expert Mechanics
Soon to Come.
The piano factory will be under a full
head of steam in a short time.
Mr.. F. E. Macarthur has returned
from the North, where he purchased
the necessary machinery and engaged
the required help to turn out a first
class instrument.
His superintendent, who comes from
the largest factory North, and who is
regarded as one of the best men in the
country, will move his family to Savan-
nah at once, and bring such other help
as he will require to begin operations
as soon as the machinery is put in
place.
Mr.. Macarthur purchased from one of
scale drawing from which his pianos
will be made.
The general idea is that all pianos
are made alike. That the assembling
of parts is all that is required to turn
out a perfect piano. This is incorrect.
Mr.. Macarthur said every piano maker
has different scale drawing. And that
every piano is different. No two are
alike. Mason & Hamlin have a scale
like no other instrument. So has the
Everett.
Each make of piano has it's own plate
and the parts must all be made for 1t.
Mr.. Macarthur said that his scale IS
designed by one of the most expert
men in this country at considerable
expense, and that with competent me-
chanics, there is no reason why a high
grade piano may not be made in Sa-
vannah He expects within the next
few weeks to begin operations.

Mr.. Wyndham, as Irish Secretary, has
been called upon to uphold the Gov
ernment's policy in the Emerald. Isle
against attacks made upon it by the
Irish leaders, shouts have come from
that direction to the effect that the
speaker should keep we'll in mind the
salutary example set him by his great
grandfather.
Wyndham's Career in ireland.
In the opinion of many of England's
putlic men, this little Circumstance
in Mr.. Wyndham's ped gree has made
even the NOSE vehement of his Irish
opponents Ill the House of Commons
more generously disposed towards
him than they ever will be to Mr..
Balfcur the present Premier and foi-
mer Irish Secretary; and this, COM
bined with Wyndha,ns initial expert
ence in the very h cart of Irish dis
affection has helped him and will help
him in carrying out mis- programme for
Ireland.
This experience is often referred to
as Wyndhams novitiate, for he went
through 1t as Mr.. Balfour's private
secrtary during the four years when
the Prime Minister held the very post
of Secretary of State for Ireland
with his official residence in that per-
turbed country-which Wyndham fills
to-day.
1t was while he was in this position
that the coming Under Secretary of
War made his second bid for fame.
He was only twenty-five at the time,
but then. when only twenty-one as
an officer of the Foot Guards, he had
gone through the wearing Soudan
campaign and come out of it with
distinction.
1t was rather a paradoxical thing
that a young man who so compare
lively lately had laid aside the sword
should have scored his next success
as a particularly effective letter writer,
but that was Wyndham's destiny. He
had hardly gone to Dublin with his
new chief than there began a deter
mined Irish attack upon Mr.. Balfour
of which Parnell himself was leader
by open speech and by innuendo, but
mainly by letters to the newspapers

Balfour's Irish disparagers. He mas
won much distinction by means OF his
essays, and introductions contributed
by him to new editions of Plutarch and

high praise. He also has written some
uncommonly good verse. Recently IL

Wyndham who first drew general at

Mr.. Wyndhams career shows only
one great disappointment. That oc-
CURED in 1895, when Lord Salisbury
was choosing cabinet to succeed Lord
Rosebery's official family. 1t was
thought that the friendship of the Pre-
mier,s nephew, Mr.. Balfour for Wynd-
ham made him certain of a portfolio.
But too many of Mr.. Chamberlain's
friends had to be accommodated in or
| der to make sure of the Birmingham's
chiefs allegiance, and Mr.. Balfour
/ proved unequal to the task of bringing
| him into the cabinet.
The disappointment was a severe
| one, and many men would have sulked
under it. George Wyndham, however,
| did nothing of the sort. To occupy
! himself he took up the study of the
/ South African situation as it was then
and for some time made the southern
part of the Dark Continent his spe-

Wyndham's Great Opportunity.

To the young politician the honor
was a great one, but, in ordinary cir

would have had small opportunity OF
attracting attention to himself. How
ever, there began the war in the
Transvaal which completely changed
the aspect of things, Wyndham found
himself one of the most carefully

THEIR TIP ON TIPS.
How POrters Distinguish Guests by

How POrters Distinguish Guests by
Looking at Baggage.
From the Washington Post.
to-day" remarked a clerk of a we'll
known hotel in this city.
For some time my attention has
been attracted to crtain porters, en-
ployed here in this hotel, by their
strange and until now unaccountable
actions regarding the arrival of new
guests.
Every time a guest appears these
men make wild dash for his baggage
and Immediately begin a hasty, but
thorough investigation of it. Then
their manner as quickly becomes one
of marked and really unnecessary po-
likeness, or one of painfully evident
duty. Knowing that tips are not TO
be expected until some service is rem
dered, certainly not until at least the
baggage has been landed, the cause of
all this l could never penetrate. But
one morning last week 1 hit upon the
thing in quite an unexpected manner.
There was some mistake about a
guests trunk-an actress who was TO
play in this city that night. She did
not arrive until Monday at noon, SO
there was no time to be lost and l at
once took things in my own hands and
began the search for the trunk. When
l entered the baggage room l noticed
the porter bending over the different
trunks, examining the labels, and was
astounded by the accompanying re-
marks 1 overheard. No good, nothin
doin', said one. There's a good thing,
came from another direction, and in
less time than it takes to tell the bag

explained how I had been watching
them for some time, but that now 1
must have the reason for all this I'M
usual conduct, and 1t was with the
greatest effort finally forced the con-
fession from one of the porters.
You see, boss said he, we've got
to study the question of tips a tip on
tips, you know, and we work together
like, say when a guest leaves a hotel

slanting position, which means he is
good for tips, while when the labels
are pasted on straight it means that
this guest considers that the hotels
pay us for our services, and we know
there is nothin' doin, and we do just
our duty, cause anything extra would
only be wasted on these people.
Tricks in all trades, boss he con-
cluded, and quickly repeated the name

to the m c. side and put his hand
