BIG CYCL0RAMA
OF TWIN. CITIES
It Will Take Place of Relief Map at
the st. Louis Exposition
Next Year.
It Will Show a Birdseye View of the
Twins from Point Near Fort
Smelling.
Plans for the Twin City Exhibit Are
Now Ready for Actual
Work.

Most elaborate and beautiful are
the plans for the twin city display at
the st. Louis worlds fair, on which
Il score earnest and talented persons
are now putting the best efforts. The
plans for the building now being pre-
pared by Harry w. Jones Will be COM
pleted within few weeks. Work ON
the actual construction will begin the
latter part of January, and the con-
tractor will give bonds to complete
it within sixty days. The various eN-
hibits can be installed in, about a
months.
The plans on which Mr.. Jones IS
now working call for building ABOUT
S0X1O0 feet in area, with q semlclf-
cular addition at one end II. In tfd this
part will be installed the chief tea-
ture of the exhibit, a splendid cyclo-
rama of the twin cities, prepared IN
about the same manner as the Battle
of Gettysburg and other famous war
paintings which were so much IN
vogue twenty years ago.
. The cyclorama will show Fort
Smelling, Minnehaha and Minneapolis
and ST. Paul with their prominent
buildings, parks and institutions. Inc
plan of making a relief map OF the
twin cities has been abandoned on ac-
count OF the expense and the large
space required.
be divided into q large hall with sew
eral smaller rooms along the sides.
OF these, each of the twins will have
ttvo rooms for special exhibits In
these four rooms there will be repro
auctions in miniature of the prlncl-
pal institutions of Minneapolis and st.
Paul. The latter will show the ssate
capitol and the public baths aud the
former will show the milling district
and the state university campus with
all the buildings. These groups Will
be exact reproductions and will prove
interesting. The estimated cost OF
each group is $500 or $4,000 for the
four. The commissioners would have
liked to have at least two more groups
for each city, but the expense was
prohibitive.
In this building. which will be
known in the model city as the n"-
niCipal industrial museum, Will be as
played. the immense map OF the TWIN
cities, and the interurban district no"
being prepared at great expense by the
Twin City Rapid Transit company
The map will be immense as 10. SIZE
and will not only show the street rail-
way system. but he-park and boule-
yard systems of the twin citles.Sz.fs 90 ts,s

~ GOVERNMENT IGNORANT
Washington Hasn't Heard of Canada's s
- Cruiser Building Project.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The state de-
partment has not been Informed up to
this moment that the Canadian gov
ernment .contemplates placing an
to the few: small and Insignificant ma
tional vessels now maintained there.
Recently the Canadian government
laid down a couple Of revenue cutters
for lake service and altho these were,
being of modern type. better vessels
than those heretofore employed for
this work, their construction was not
regarded here as violating the treaty.
Attention was called to the matter,
however, by some of. the congressman
from the great lake section and the
state department made a quiet but ef-
fective inquiry into. the character Of
the Canadian cutters. It appears that
a United States naval officer visited
the place where the vessels were be-
ing built and examined their construc-
tion, a fact that gave rise to some
feeling on the part of the Canadians
when they learned Of the visit.
To Repeal Provision.
AS soon as congress reconvenes after
the recess there will without doubt be
a arenewal of the attempt which has
been made annually for the last ten
wears to secure a repeal or modifica-
ton of that section Of the Rush treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain that limits the use of naval
vessels on the lakes. Representative
William Alden Smith of Michigan has
taken a, particularly advanced posi-.
ton in this matter and his activity has
it is said, excited corresponding
movement in Canada.
He: has heard from some quarter
that he believes to be reliable, {
statement that the Canadian govern.
ment Is about to enter formal pro.
test again the location Of the proposed
United States naval training station or
the great lakes, according to the plan!
of the Taylor board, to which congress
is expected. to give effect during the
present session.
!. Anticipating such protest. Mr.. Smith
already has prepared himself to re
fnew with force the attack upon th'
Rush treaty, holding as he does tina
|. it=hass had a paralyzing and disastrou
effect upon the important shtpbuild

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.-An offer has
been made by the provincial govern
nent of Ontario, Can, to pay the $l,-
500, 900 required for the reorganization
of the Consolidated Lake Superior
company. The government has prom
ssed to take the money from It's ex-
chequer if Attorney P. f. Rothermel,
who is now in Canada, can satisfy the
officials that that sum will place the
company's affairs on a good financial
basis.
The action of the provincial govern
ment was taken at a meeting held on
last Thursday. Many Canadians are
stockholders of the Consolidated; COM
pany, and the collapse of the corpora
ton meant the loss of many millions
of Canadian dollars. " -.

THE MAN WHO ELECTROCUTES.
Silent ExecutlOner Who Regards His Call
ing In Purely Business Way Holds
Patents OH Apparatus.
New York Sun.

boys III the State prison at Dame
mora last week State Electrician
Edward +. Davis finished his 74th
execution by electricity. Of these
II occurred in this State, two in
Massachusetts and one in Ohio.
This man who invented the cleo
trio chair, owns the patents on it
and is the only man " ho can abso-
lutely be depended upon to conduct
an execution without a hitch, is re-
markable in other respects. Thus,
wherever he goes he flocks by him
self. He rarely speaks to anybody
unless he is spoken to first, and
then he IS found to be most affa-
bic person, more than anxious to
talk about himself and his work.
He will cheerfully answer any
question put to him, no matter how
personal it may be. About his
work he is absolutely cold blooded.
He looks upon an execution as a
matter of business, nothing else.
In this he reminds one very much
of flittle Joe Atkinson, the cid Tombs
hangman, who was as cheerful an
executioner as one would care to
meet.
my dear sir, I do not kill these
men, said Mr.. Davis just after the
Van Wormer execution to an in
quirer. The people Of the State
of New York, acting through a
judge and jury, kill them.
Il am simply the instrument Of
the law. l work the machinery by
which the State Of New York takes
the lives of murderers."
Davis is little gray haired man
OF 90. Ask New York politician
who is the hardest man to find in
the city and he will tell you Tim
Sullivan. Ask a State official at
Albany, especially Superintendent
OF Prisons Collins, who is the hard
est man III the State to find and he
will tell you it is Davis.
Davis is living mystery. He
slips from place to place, never
maintaining residence in a given
locality for any length of time and
rarely letting any one know where
he is.
Every once in while he appears
suddenly in Albany, maps out his
work for the next few months, and
then goes away again, whittier no.
body knows. He can be absolutely
depended upon, however, to put in
All appearance at a State prison
where there is to be an execution
several days before it is to take
place.
He goes right to the death cham-
Der and gets everything in readi-
ness, and after the execution he
goes away az silently and as mys-
teriously as he came.
The State pays Davis $50 for
each man he kills. 1t has tried re-
peatedly to buy his patients, but he
will not sell. If he should die
there are probably plenty Of men
who would be able to work his ap-
paratus, but it would be more or
less of an experiment, even if all
electrician willing to do the work
could be found.
Davis mysterious movements are
attributed by some to fear Of as
SassinatiOn. Davis was asked about
this recently and laughed heartily.
He receives many threatening let

to them.
