the dainty little mlssives are distrib-

rHE sr. Louls EXPOSITION.

The managers OF the st. Louis fair
promise to open the exposition on time
This would be a novelty since none Of
the great shows has been ready at the
time formally set. But we are told that
many of the buildings will be turned
over to the managers within a month
or two. and that most of them, vast as
they are. are practically completed.
The general impression is that the
Chicago fair eclipsed anything in ex-
tent and magnifcence that has gone
before or that is likely to follow This
is a mistaken idea. The st. Louis ex-
position has been planned on a larger
scale than anything heretofore. some
idea of its vast proportions may be
gained by the following comparison;
The Chicago buildings and grounds
,Oyered am area of one square mile;
those of st. Louis viii cover two square
miles. The total exhibition space at
Chicago was S2.2 acres: at ST. Louis
12S acres viii be required. The total
outlay al Chicago was S27250000; at
st. Louis $1,000. 900 win be spent. AT
Chicago the entire horse power and
machinery In operation was 10000. and
at ST. Louis Il will be $4,000. The
Midway" at st. Louis viii be 600 feet
wide and a mile IN length, and win be
called the pike" and there will be
thirty five miles OF roadway inside the
enclosure.
The managers claim that the exposi-
tion viii be practically complete In all
OF it's details on the opening day. II

is TO be congratulated, but she has had
great backing. Congress gave $1,000

have planned their show on broad line

A young woman from Pennsylvania
town has just died IN this city without
any mealcai or surgical attention. 4
tunor on the head is the cause given
by the physician who made the autop-
sy; hc also says that had there been an
operation at the proper time a cure
might have been effected. The young
woman volartarily chose Christian Sci
ence treatment to cure her complaint,
and it failed. II is easy to say thar
any other treatment would have failed,
but science has pretty accurately de-
monstrated what cases are durable and
what are not We presume that when
mature persons believe that Christian
Science can cure such Ills they will
take that treatment and that no legal
enactment could prevent. But when
the young and irresponsible are suffer-
ing from such diseases the law should
shield them by requiring that they shall
be treated only by recognized practi-
TONERS and along the lines Of modern
science.
