MUNICIPAL EXHIBITS.
Preparations Making for Exposition
at Dresden.

Six years ago, while preparations
were going on for the Paris fair, body
of German burgomasters met at Carls-
ruhe to consider the proposal for a joint
municipal exposition at their fair by Ger
man cities. The project was discarded,
each city being left to its own course
respecting Paris but instead, the sug~
gestion that municipal exposition III
and for Germany be held in 1903 Was
heartily approved. Active preparations
to that end were soon under way. Dres-
den, whose burgoTnaster had made the
original suggestion, was chosen as ths
place, and the exposition is to occur III
that city from May 20 to September 80
of the present year.
It promises to be an event of genuine
interest and Importance. 1t Will, in the
first place. be unique in conception.
Municipal exhibits constituted some~
thing of feature at Paris in 1900, as
they had to a less extent in previous
worlds fairs. The forthcoming exposi-
ton however, will be the first to be de-
voted exclusively to the subject of mus
place, it will be widely representative of
municipal enterprise in the German en-
pire. Out of the 156 cities in that ems
pire having population of 5000 or
more in 1895, 12S are to participate. and
their preDara tiOnS have been progress
ing with de1iberation and Wholesome :
emulation. In the third place, recent
municipal history in Germany is pecJ-
liarly worthy of being thus displayed
The rapid growth of the cities of that
country has been not less remarka BILE
than that of American towns, and the
efforts made. not only for superior adj
ministration in general. but especially
toward comprehensive direction of that
growth, form one of the notable facts
of recent social history Indeed, the
great widening of municipal action in
/ the cities of the fatherland respecting
education. recreation, charity, hygiene
and municipal trading is less signif-
/ icant than the attempt to give proper
shape. both for economic and esthetic
ends. to the entire physical organization
fof those cities. The authorities have set
up the ideal of a city which. in arrange
nent and structure, should be ration
al unity; and while the results achieved
have naturally been limited they are
in many respects surprising. There have
actually developed in Germany-and in
Austria. too-especially during the last
dozen years, the rudiments of rea
science Of city building. with limited
but distinctive literature of It's own.

yesterday to relatives and friends at
different places and secured a place for
his wife and younger children here un-
til he can make other arrangements.
When court convened today Judge B.
F. French the noted leader of the
French faction of the French -Eversole
feud who is the leading lawyer for the
defense of Jett and White, began the
opening argument before Judge Red

Judge Blanton sprang to his feet and
approached Judge French. but Elizor
Jones threw himself between the men

BLUE BLOOD IS
BETTER THAN RED
MICHIGAN PROFESSORS NOVEL
PERIORITY OVER LABORERS.

ANN ARBOR (Mich.), May 15.-Blue
blood still exists. Harrison S. Smalley
of the political economy department Of
the University of Michigan declares
that the capitalist is superior physically
to the laborer-his blood is superior.
The laborer" said Smalley, is at
a disadvantage because, among other
reasons, of his physical inferiority. l
mean a particular kind of physical in
feriorfty, and not that the capitalist
has stronger sinews, muscles or lungs
than the laborer. In this respect, Of
course, the laborer has the advantage.
President Jordan of Stanford spoke
truth when he laid emphasis on the i'm
portance' of blood in animals. The la
borer has not the warm, rich, blue
blood which means physical superiority
This same blue blood when thinned out,
stands Of course for inferiority both
mentally and morally. Some men are
cart horses, worth So and other men
belong naturally to a higher order"

Among those paid today were three
Chinese women. One of these had a.
claim for about 5000; the other two
had claims for smaller amounts. The
women had to wait their turn in line
for while but presently some of the
Chinese men chivalrously proposed that
they be allowed to go to the head of the
line and receive their money first. This
was agreed to, and was done.
