eERAaNY's BUILDING
1T The WORLDS FAIR.
a Reproduction of Old Castle
BuiIt by Frederick |, of Prussia.

The plans for the German National
Pavilion nc the Worlds Fair, st.
Louis, have been completed and sub
mitted to the Director of Works, Isaac
S. Taylor. for approval. 1t has been
the endeavor of the German Govern
ment to keep the architecture OF the
building in harmony with the Exposi-
ton buildings in the Immediate viclnl-
sy. The pavilion will be a fairly ac-
curate reproduction of the central por-
zion of the royal castle at Charlotten-
bnrg, near Berlin. This old castle
occupies conspicuous place in the
history Of German architecture. lt
was built about the end of the l7th
century for and under the direction OF
Frederick I, FIRST king Of Prussia.
The castle was designed by Andreas
Schluetsr, the greatest German
s architect OF that period.
The architecture OF the Charlotsen-
burg Castle is imposing. The main
facade Is in two stories, crowned by an
enormous ssilted dome. The facade OF
the irss floor is In rustic stone. The
second noor is ornameuted with
engaged CofinShian columns. In the
center of Ehesfacadeis is 8. projecting bay
crowned by beautiful classic pedi-
ment.
The drum of the dome, which is also
surrounded BY q Corinthian engaged
colonnade, is higher than one OF the
stories Of the building. The curve OF
the dome is broken BY six bulls eye
windows and is crowned by a towering
lantern surmounted by scuiptured
figure. =,
In the pavilion the ground floor will
be used for reading, writing Office
and reception purposes. The second
floor has been set aside for purposes of
representation. It, viii embrace an
actual reprpduc5ionNo OF the state rooms
of The Castle Of Charlottenburg. These
rooms will be fitted up with precious
old furniture, Goeli1s, and silver
ornaments, the products Of bygone
days. In q separate building but con-
nected with it viii be restaurant and
sKneipssude, a combination of
smoking room, drinking room, restau-
rant and. fraternal society lodge
room. This subsidiary building will
harmonize completely with the
architecture OF the main structure and
will be connected with it by an alley.

Birmingham, Ala, May IA
double-header, eastbound freight, and
westbound freight on the Southern
Railway, collided this morning at
Bryan, twenty-five miles west Of here,
with the result that both trains were
burned and eight men killed. I'm
mediately after the collision the wreck
took fire and burned rapily.
The officials Of the road have not yet
explained the cause of the accident,
but it is alleged that an operator went
to sleep on duty ad failed to deliver
an order. The burning wreckage

SUMTER AS SEEN BY A VISITOR.

Old Sumter is famous town,
And all it's streets with sand abound
Tis well adorned with shady trees,
Whose lofty boughs bend to the breeze.
Its lumber plant supplies all need,
With neatness and with rapid speed:
Long leaf pine logs in great number,
Are furnished for all the lumber.
A Telephone plant runs full time
It's furnishings are superfne;
The stock in ev'ry things complete,
No plant with this one can compete.
Of plants enough has not been said,
Another one works for the dead
Makes finest coffns decked with grace,
For mortal mans last resting place.
ALI these have ample stock on hand,
And can supply ev'ry demand;
This stock will favorably compare,
With any that is made elsewhere.
Churches loom up for age and youth,
In which is taught the way of truth;
Free Salvation to ev'ry one,
Through Christ the Fathers darling
Son.
The city schools are all first class,
To train the young, nowhere surpassed
The fire department. holds high rank,
Water abounds in ev'ry tank.
Now long may Sumter's banner wave,
O'er fair, women and heroes brave;
And when earth's tolls with them are
past,
May "Welldone," greet them all al
last. W. NJ. Foster.

CALLED KING Il DuFFER. I"
Lord salishury's Absentminded-
ness Has Queer Manifestation.

. :
London cablegran1 to The New
York Sun says: Many stories have
been told shout Lord Salisbury's
absenG-mindedness and strange mis-
takes in Identifying well known per-
sons combined with a supreme indifer-
ence for all with whom he finds
himself In company. The latest Of
these stories which has gone the
rounds this week tells of an incident
which occurred at the Kings levee on
Monday.
Lord Salisbury was present and was
standing, apparently wrapped IN
shought, among crowd of distinguish
ed men. when the bishop of London
approached and greeted him. To the
surprise and chagrin Of the latter Lord
Salisbury failed utterly to recognize
him and the bishop was forced to ex-
plain who he was and to recall to the
former Prime Minister the fact that
he had appointed him bishop of Lon
don in 1901.
Later. on, when the bishop was con-
versing with the King, he expressed
regret that Lord Salisbury was ap-
parently unable to recognize his
friends, and told what had happened.
The King laughed heartily and said:
-. He las treated me worse than that.
Not long ago, while having an audience
with me. he gave beautiful example
of thinking aloud. On q table close
TO his lordship stood photograph Of
myself Lord Salisbury, taking it up,
gazed at it for a few moments and then
remarked, Poor old dufer; I wonder
If he is as stupid as he looks. -

Mr.. G. Duncan Bellinger, who has
been at John Hopkins hospital, in
Baltimore, is rapidly improving and
is expected home next week. His
friends will be glad to know that he
mas recovered, but some interest was
taken in his physical condition owing
to his connection with the Tillman
case. It has been thought that he
would be unable to be present at the
next term OF court, thus necessitating
another continuance, but unless some
thing unforeseen happens he will be
on hand. 1t is asserted that Tillman's
attorneys will be ready for trial

and staked of, and as soon as the
lumber arrives carpenters will be put
to work, and it Is expected that the
building will be ready for the ma
chinery within the next two weeks.
In response to the query of how
soon he expected to have the mill In
operation, Mr.. Matt replied: The
mill will undoubtedly be ready to re-
ceive ore for treatment by July 1st. as
there is nothing to delay the con-
struction. and when it is once ready
for operation 1t will accept ore from
any one who wishes to deliver the
same to the mill. whether 1t be q
1000 ton lot or only q small wagon
load, and the owner will receive his
money for the same on the spot"
When Mr.. Matt first requested the
city to present him with . site on
which to build q mill, using the pro-
cess invented and perfected by VIM.
s. Standish Of this city for the leach
ing Of copper ores, there were many
who we're inclined to place him In the
same category with numerous other
alleged promoters who have visited
this city during the past year, claim.
ing that they desired to erect . mill
for the proper handling Of the i'm
mense bodies Of low.grade copper ore
which Is known to exist in this imme.
date vicinity. but after making vast
promises. which they Eve lived up
to. quietly departed, leaving q solemn
silence behind to remind the anxious
mine owner that their much vaunted
bubble had bursted.
Actions speak louder than words
however. and Mr.. Matt has been with
out doubt louder in action than words,
as he has practically completed all
arrangements for the proposed mill
and lived up to all his promises, SO
he must be Withdrawn from the cate
CORY Of former mill promoters who
have visited here. and placed in

ing what he promised as speedily as

gans will within the next sixty days

first copper mill to be erected in this

Canada's New Railroad,

The Canadian Pacific railroad, which
seemed a quarter of a century ago an
e~xtravagant folly, has been outgrown.
Now Canada is figuring on two or three
transcontinental lines. the most
promising Of which, the T"ranscanada,
is described by Mr.. E. T. D. Chambers
in the Review Of Reviews.
The new road will III from Quebec,
Chicoutimi and Montreal through the
northern wheat and timber belts to
Port Simpson, B. G. 1t will be the
shortest route across the continent,
only $3.50 miles from Atlantic to Pa
cifc tide water, and will save over 1000
miles between Liverpool and Yoke
hama as compared with the route via
New York and San Francisco. It will
tap the James bay and Hudson bay.

north, the climate all along the line is
said to be comparatively mild-for

A Clever

A daring jewel robbery has been per-
petrated in st. Petersburg. A carriage
bearing the arms of a member of the
imperial family drew up before the
shop of a leading jeweler, and a foot
man wearing a court livery entered the
shop and said that the Grand Duchess
Xenia desired to see a collection Of
jewels from which she could choose
what pleased her best. The jeweler
packed up jewels to the value of about
f25,00O and handed them over to the
domestic to be taken to the grand duch-
ess. Hours passed without any reply
coming from the palace. and when the
anxious jeweler ventured to send to
ask what had become of his jewels he
learned that the grand duchess knew
nothing of the whole transaction. No
traces Of the thieves have been found.

A writer in the Garden has discov.
cred that many OF the worst foes of

natural grouping of good or evil things
under particular letters. Take 3d." for
example, and consider how many
boons and blessings to man begin with
1t. The baker and butcher bring him
bread and beef. For additional foods
he has bacon. beans, bovril, b~loaters,
broccoli, broth. bivalveS, bananas. Der

a banquet Of BONES bouches he may
bring out his brier and blow his baccy
while he bestrides his bicycle. These
are but a few of the %beneficent things
included under that blessed letter 3D.

OF THE YAK,
n Clumsy Beast OF Burden, but Sure
FOOted and Faithful.

Footed and Faithful.
"The yak goes much his own way,

10 march deggedly on with his muEzle
close to the ground, breathing so hard
that you a almost imagine your ears
are buzzing with the sharp drone Of q
steam saw some distance away tearing
It's way through timber"
So writes the great, Swedish explorer,
DR.. Sven Hedin, who has travelled over
a great part Of the Asiatic continent
on yak back, and therefore knows
whereof he speaks.
One day while DR.. Hedin was ex-
Dloring a glacier the good and bad
points Of his yak steed were brought
plainly out. The heavy creature picked
his way through the rugged moraine,
avoiding all holes and balancing him
self in a marvellous banner on the
sharp edges Of rocks. When a steep
slope was to be descended, he would
draw his four feet rigidly under him
and coast to the bottom. He stopped
short when he chose, and neither blows
nj coaxing had the slightest effect,
but after a time he would grunt cheer
fully and proceed on the interrupted
Journey. A snowstorm overlook the
party later In the day, and, though the
explorer feared that his steed might
balk again, he showed excellent sense
by making as rapidly for the camp as
his legs could carry him.
HE flung himself down declivities
and Owed like an otter through the
snow says DR.. Hedin; but, alas, sit
ting in the saddle was like riding a
high sea in a rocking. pitching skiff.
Often l was obliged to fling myself
backward till my back touched the
back Of the yak. and l had to adjust
my balance to all his unexpected
movements"

True ~POliteness,

Be careful not to confound p%oliteness
with the automatic following Of social
rules, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
Do not seek to do only as others do,
eve if it is the very makers Of the SO
cial laws. Preserve your originality.
No n may move wholly according to
rules and be natural. Remember that
a bit of the milk Of human kindness, 8
few grains Of good common sense,
mixed well with a desire to "do unto
Others" Is a splendid recipe for success

The Hackney on Parade.

How a high bred hackney looks
when he is put on exhibition at a big
horse show is told by Sewell Ford in
Horses Nine" 1t was a very pretty
sight presented to the horse experts
lining the rail and to persons in boxes
and tier seats. They saw a blockily
built strawberry roam, his chiseled
neck arched in a perfect crest, his rigid
thigh muscles ripping under a shiny
coat as he swung his hooks, his slim
fore legs sweeping up and out, and ev-
cry curve Of his rounded body from
the tip Of his absurd whisk broom tail
to the white snip on the end of his
tossing nose expressing that exuberance
Of spirits, that jaunty abandon of mo-
ton, which is the very apex Of hack
ney style. Behind him a short legged
groom bounced through the air at the
end Of the reins, keeping his feet only
by means Of most amazing strides.
