The United States Government build
Ing at the Worlds Fair occupies an
elevated site just south of the main
picture of the Exposition. The great
central dome of the Government build
ing is visible from the very center Of
the Fair looking across the picturesque
sunken garden that lies between the
Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and
Liberal Arts.
The hill slope in front Of the Gov
eminent building is terraced with
broad stairWays almost completely
covering the slope. The building is 800
feet long by $50 feet wide and is the
largest structure ever provided at an
exposition by the federal government.
It is distinguished from all the other
large buildings at the Exposition by
the steel truss construction, the entire
roof being supported by steel arches,
forming a splendid domed ceiling.
In this building are installed the ex-
hibits of all the executive departments
of the government. The building is
vast storehouse Of an endless variety
Of treasures dear to the heart of every
true American. Precious documents
are to be seen here, and the autographs
Of our great men of the past are on.

and soldiers, carefully preserved
through generations, are exhibited.
Each governmental department has in

mer Ellsworth Garnsey, furnish one
of the chief delights Of a visit to the
national capital. A large model of this
splendid building is feature of the
exhibit The decorative features of
the interior are reproduced in their
original colors.
The next exhibit on the right hand
side of the central aisle is that of the
Interior Department, occupying 1872
SQUARE feet. In this large space the
visitor finds so many things Of CON-
pelling interest that he is loath to
leave. The Patent Office exhibit be-
longs to this section. There are mod
els of many machines that have borne
an important part in the development
of the nations industries. The earliest
form of every device of human inven-
ton, so far as possible, is shown here.
For instance, you may see the actual
sewing machine that was the first con-
triyance of its kind every constructed;

but is one of the most improved mail
cars, in which men attached to the
United States railway mail service are
actively engaged in throwing" the
mails. Here you will see the postal
clerks at work, just as they work while
speeding along a railroad track.
A curious collection of old time rel
les from the postoffice museum at
Washington illustrates as no verbal
description can do the crude begin
nings Of the postal system. One Of
these relics is an old fashioned stage
coach that once carried United States
mails through portion of the Louisi-
ma purchase territory. President
Roosevelt, who once inspected 1t, ex-
amined with q rough riders interest
the bullet holes which stage robbers
and mountain brigands shot through
it's stiff leathern curtains. Generals
Sherman and Sheridan and President
Garfield rode in this old coach during
the strenuous days of frontier life.
Among the collection Of documents
showing the primitive postal methods
in vogue in the early days is to be
seen the old book of accounts kept by
the first postmaster general, Benjamin
Franklin, all written by hand. There
is rare collection of stamps, includ-
ing ancient Filipino, Porto Rican and
Cuban stamps. The postofice depart
ment's exhibit occupies 2,469 square
feet.
Across the aisle, at the right, is the
Exhibit of the new Department of
Commerce and Labor, occupying 1866
square feet. This exhibit shows what
the new executive department stands
for and what it is accomplishing. Mr..
Carroll D. Wright, United States Com.
missioner of Labor, had charge of the
preparation of the exhibit. Charts ar
ranged by him, showing the rapid
growth of the nation in agriculture,
arts, manufacture, population, etc., are
of special interest to Sociologists and
all students of the labor problem. The
Census Bureau exhibit is made in this
section. 1t shows the tabulating ma
chimes used in compiling the census re-
ports. The Lighthouse Board. also op-
Grating under this department, shows
the great revolving lenses in light
houses, with ether interesting appli-
ances.
The space in the projecting north
west corner Of the building is devoted
to the Library of Congress. The edi-

Not until 1880 was Uruguay formally proclaimed a free and independent state. And then her troubles began in earnest, for" every patriot in the new | republic wanted to be president, and | during more than half century revo- lution followed revolution in rapid suc- cession. These intestine quarrels were at their height when Juan Manuel Ro- sas--the Dictator of Buenos Ayres-not satisfied with the enormous Argentine territory that he ruled, like another
