BORT George II. Thomas is to be the
REL Ilbzvous of the militia of The South.
which, under the new law enacted at the
l.st session of Congress, is to be mobil-
lzed annually in great camps of instruc-
ton and participate in maneuvers. The
coryesience of Chattanooga for this pur-
pose WIS one reason for the sele ction of
the pResent site for the new post. And
it is expected that 10000 members of the
National Guard from Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and
Arkansas. will gather here every fall for
drill and maneuvers under the command
of officers of the geenral staff of the reg
ui2r army. Several similar rendezvous
will be festa blished at other points CON
venient for railroad transportation. There
will be che near Chicago for the annual
maneuvens of the National Guard of the
surrounding States.
The fAnous Seventh cavalry. Gen.
Clusters regiment. now under command
of Col. Baldwin, is encamped in Chatta-
nooga Military Park. and is making itself
comfortable in tents and other temporary
structures until the new barracks are
completed. The famous Grimes Battery
Of artillery which had conspicuous
part in the battles around Santiago, is
also here under the command of Capt.
boyle. The officers and their families
are living IN shacks, part tent and part

VICTORY FOR WOOD WORKERS.
Board of Arbitration Decide that Car
penters Violate Terms.

peuters Ici@lte Iernss
Amalgamated Wood Workers lnterna,
tional Union won big victory in the
findings of the arbitrators appointed
through the recent convention Of the
American Federation of Labor. where
the carpenters preferred charges against
the Wood Workers International Union,
and asked that its charter be revoked
because of alleged violation of trade
rules on the part of the wood workers
aud their assuming jurisdiction over
work rightfully belonging to the car
penters. According to the findings of
the five arbitratorS the carpenters have
been infringing ON the wood workers.
and in defining just what part of the
wood working craft belongs TO each or
ganzation gave to the carpenters all OUT
side work on buildings and to the wood
workers al work in shops and factories.
r. j. Downey Of Buffalo. a metal work
err who was called in as umpire. decid-
ed that it was plainly apperent that the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners deliberately violated the terms
Of the contracts they have entered into
and that there was no evidence that the
wooa workers had ever g:ze beyond the
lines laid down by the agreements. He
decided that all wood workers in planning
mills. furniture and interior finish fac
tories, come rightfully under jurisdiction
over millwrights and stair builders or
workers on buildings or makers Of store
and office fixtures. He says the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiilers
shall have absolute jurisdiction over all
work on new and old buildings and the
putting up of store and Office fixtures.

EIGHT MEN BLOWN UP
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN Cries.
SON POWDER WORKS.
Women Escape, but WOrkmen Are
Hurled Into the Air-PeopIe Flee for
Safety Death of Du ChaiIIu, Famous
American Traveller and Author.

The plant of the Cresson powder
works, owned by Pittsburg capitalists
and located ON Piney creek, ten miles
south of Holidaysburg, Pa, was wreck
ed by an explosion. Eight workman were
killed. Superintendent Harry Iaggart
of Pittsburg was fatally injured. The
powder factory is located in remote
portion of the county. Near the factory
are limestone quarries of the American
Wire and Nail Company. where 500 men
are employed. These quarries have been
deserted by the workmen and all who
lived in the neighborhood hurried to
places Of safety. In the magazines and
stOrehouses of the factory are 1,400
blocks of explosives. Fourteen men and
sixteen women were employed in the fac
tory which was destroyed. The women
managed TO escape from the building be-
fore the explosion came that hurled their
fellow-workmen into eternity. All were
cut and badly burned. The force of the
explosion was so great that it wrecked
all buildings in the vicinity and broke
window panes in towns five miles away.

One hundred years ago the LOUISIANA
purchase was trackless wilderness save
for a few blazed trails and the highways
made BIS nature. The universal exposi-
ton which will bf given at st. Louis
next spring and summer will celebrate
the acquisition OF lh!s vast and produc-
tive territory by the United States, the
first of several acquisitions that have
been developed faster and to a higher
degree perhaps than any other territory
in the world.
The scope of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition will be worldwide. All the
knowledge and experience gained in all
previous world fairs are being put into
this enterprise. The fresh energy of a
Dew and happy country is bringing to a
naturalization plans the equal of which
were never before conceived. Here in
the newest country industry has been de-
veloped to its greatest extent. lngnuity
has been given the fullest play. and to
Illustrate a greater advancement in 100
years than in all prior time combined
and TO bring to the notice of the world
what is now about the center of this won
derful land is the purpose of this exhi-
bition.
The number of buildings will be great
er than ever made by any previous ex-
position, the ground covered will be
greater in extent the architectural effects
are planned in grander and more ex-
tensive way and the arts and crafts and
the products of Industrious man are more

Only ten years have elapsed since the
Columbian exposition surprised and de-
lighted the world, but in that time indus
trial art has made progress which seems
to require an exposition of the magnitude
of the st. Louis fair to properly display
1t and encourage the rising generations to
still more amazing conquests.
This event will be worlds fair in
the largest sense, rejecting the broaden
ing spirit of the world and revealing the
progress to be found within the boun-
daries of all participating nations. The
exposition will be quite unlike its prede-
cessors in America aud Europe. in that

Succumbs to Paralysis.
Paul du Chaillu, noted American au-
thor and explorer, who was stricken with
partial paralysis the other day, died in
St. Petersburg. The death of Pau, Bel
loni du Chaillu puts an end to a career
brin full of adventure, and robs the
world of a man whose fascinating PEI
sonalty had endeared him to thousands
of persons in almost every country ON
the map, whose books Of travel and adj
venture were the delight of a wide circle
of readers. During the course of his
travels he had $1,000 wives offered TO
him from among the dusky daughters of
the native tribes. He died a bachelor.
Du Chaillu's series of books concerning
his African adventures includes "Ashan-
go Land" Explorations in Equatorial
Africa" Stories Of the Gorilla Coun-
try" Wild Life Under the Equator
Lost in the Jungle" My Apingi King
