THE NARROWING DETAILS

Again Emphasize the Importance and
Necessity of Providing Against
Misfortune and Death.

No man or woman with a heart can read
the "o'erture tales OF disaster, distress
and death which have filled the newspapers
for more than three weeks. Tornadoes in
various sections Of the central west have
swept the Eavings OF years into dust and
scattered the dust in a desolated path be-
hind them. Tornadoes have also destroyed
scores Of lives. We are scarcely through
mourning over these destructive visitations
when

TO accept public and private charity. The
awful details fascinate US while we persue
them painful and pathetis though they be.
The good people who are fortunate are
rallying to protect and assist those who
have suffered. Meanwhile It Is we'll to

and tho possible reverses and Affections

age.
1t is the intention of the men managing
the Irish Fair to make 1t a very comprehen-
sive affair. The center piece Of the whole
structural exhibit. will be the map of Ire
land, each county being laid out in soil
brought from the original county in Ireland
This gives those who love the sacred soil
en- which they were born, or on which their
forbears first saw light. a chance to stand
upon its clay sanctified by the blood Of
twenty generations Of valiant Irish men and
women. This map. with the soil, Is the SEN
timental feature Of the entire exhibit.
Probably the next feature in point of at
traction, will be the exhibition Of turf, the
fuel of the Irish peasant, in fact the sole
fuel found In Ireland, timber being scarce
and coal almost nonexistent save in very
inferior kind. Turf Is coal In its ircipent
stage. The boys from which it Is cut are
supposed to be submerged forests. A large
rick or stack Of peat win be exhibited.

Cork last winter. will be among the ex-
hibits. 1t will be driven by a '.jarvey''

AS the dedication approaches nearer each
day the rush of construction becomes the
more fascinating to those who catch the
inspiration of great enterprise.

workmen are scattered over the two square
miles of rolling site. 1000 teams are chang

gardeners are beginning to dress the big
Exposition for it's first parade.
When the President of the United States
rides through the unfinished Worlds Fair
his carriage must pass through the great
swinging boulevard. The finished fscades
of five main exhibit palaces of the EXPOSE
ton will glide past him.
The stan will be in place on all of them;
they will show their dress Of cream. Every
nag staff will be glowing with bunting in
the cofors of all nations. In all respects
these buildings will look as they must APP
pear during the Exposition period. The
completed structures are Machinery. Varied
Industries. Electricity. Education and Lib
eral Arts.
Troops and carriages conveying distin-
guished men of the nation will roll over
brilliant red macadam drives. which Will

The pageant will wind through tri-

Park entrance to, the Exposition site. and
leading the way through the Fair Grounds
to the doors Of the Liberal Arts building. in
which will be conducted the ceremonies OF
dedication. The causeway is being fianked
on either side by high pyramids, alternating
with standards.
Each pyramid and every standard will be
done in the prevailing color tone. ivory

BUYING LOCOMOTIVE OPTIONS.
Railroads Engaging Space at the
Works for Future Buildings.

Locomotive futures" are being pur-
chased these days by railroads. just
about as puts and calls on stocks or
grain are bought. This means that the
railroads are expecting 20 require many
more locomotives in 1904 and 1905 than
they wish 10 order outright az this time.
They are therefore buying sufficient floor
space in the various works for certain
future periods where such engines as
they may require NAV be built n coadi-
lions OF traffic demand 81. Otherwise
they will forfeit the price they have paid
Tor the space engaged.
At present the locomotive capacity Of
all OF the American companies is being
taxed to the utmost. Orders on their
books will keep them busy for months to
come. Deliveries are far behind now
and IL is expected that more orders will
continue TO pour in as the months OF the
present year go on. Based upon past
md present difficulties in securing en-
gines on contract time the railways are
providing against repetition OF such
smbarrsssments. The plan is In the ma
ture OF motive power insurance-neces-
Iary only in good times-when every
