 Many Big Orders Come Here.
 As a shoe market of exceptional ad- vantages. Lynchburg is known and rec- ognfzed throughout the South. Indeed. the best merchants of the Southern States claim 1t is one of the best shoe markets in the entire country. It Is daily occurrence that orders are placed here by the largest class of merchants as far South as Louisiana and TexaAl far large lines of shoes.
 Lynchburg enjoys the reputation of having two of the largest and best equipped shoe factories in the entire South.- The business has grown in the city from about $300.00O annually Is years ago to more than $s.o00,0so year now. Still. 1t Is believed that the in. dustry Is but In its infancy here. and that another decade will see a volumo of business practically double what tt Is today. and it is believed that Lynch- burg shoes will be a household article in almost every family in every South- ern State. 4

While Lynchburg has been a whole sale shoe market for a quarter of century, it has only been during the last decade that the advantages of the city in thisNine have been generally recog- nized by the Southern merchants and even now a large majority of persons who are interested in the welfare of the city do not know that while there are 15o cities in the United States. with population greater than Lynchburg. there are not more than 2 half dozen cities selling more shoes than Lynch
 burg. These markets are in the great commercial centers, such as New York.
 Baltimore, St. Louis and Boston.
 The shipment of shoes by the we'll known Craddock Terry Company, dur
 ing the month of August just passed.
 was larger in amount than the total
 wholesale business of Lynchburg prior to the opening of that firm here in
 1888. At the same time. the sales Of that firm for August exceeded by more than s15o, 900 the total business done by
 that firm during the first year 1t did
 business here.
 Business Shows Big Gains.
 The aggregate value of the shipments made during August by the Craddock
 Terry Company was $35s,s17.15. This Is larger shipments than were made in an entire year by any wholesale shoe house existing in the South 15 years ago. and 1t Is a gain of s1o7.25e.5o over the same month last year. To express the mag nitude of this business in & different way, it means the actual shipment of more than $1,e00 worth of shoes out of Lynchburg, by this single firm. every working hour during the month.

All of yesterday and last night the
people worked with desperate energy
to accomplish the thousand and one
things that always remain to be done
at the last moment. At the eXposi-
tion grounds 10000 men worked all
day putting the final touches upon the
grounds, buildings, sidewalks, clean
ing buildings, removing scaffolds and
arranging exhibits. This work con
tinued without cessation until dawn.
In the down town streets and in the
residence districts the decorations
are profuse and beautiful. The eXer-
cises to-day were more serious than
reSplendent. There was compare
lively little of the glittering pageant
year ago, but the ceremonies pre-
ceding the formal opening were none
the less interesting. At o'clock in
the morning all the high dignitaries
of the exposition met at the admins
tration building and, headed by a
band, marched to the Plaza of St.
Louis, in the center of the exposition
grounds.
Representatives of foreign govern
ments met at the hall Of congresses at
the same hour and timed their parade
to the plaza so as to arrive at the
same moment the exposition officials
marched in from the opposite direc-
tion. AT the same time representa-
tiyes of state and territorial govern
ments entered the plaza from a third
avenue, having previously formed at
the United States building.
After the gathering was called to
order by President Francis, Rev.
Frank w. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, de

REPORT OF EXPERTS.
Defects in Guns on the Iowa Were
Known Before They Bursted.

oeIsCtS IN 1unS on the iowa were
Known Before They Bursted.
Washington, April 30.-The naval
board consisting of Capt. Dayton,
Commander Fletcher and Lieut.. DEF
circumstances attending the bursting
of two eight-inch guns on the Iowa,
February 5, has reported to the secre-
tary that the board find that in the
hring of the guns all precautions
were taken. The report says that
when the forgings of the guns were
being machined at the gun factory de-
fects developed, the defects being de-
scribed as numerous small breaks in
the continuity of the metal and also
minute sand and Stag spots The
forgings were thereupon rejected"
On a protest by the manufacturing
company, the report recites, a board
was ordered in accordance with
clause in the contract This board
recommended the rejection of certain
OF the forgingS, but on further protest
of the manufacturers another board
was ordered and it found that the
defects that are referred to as exist
ing are common to all in larger or
smaller degree, but neither the sand
nor the Stag spots or breaks are seri-
Gus enough in the present stage to
cause us to recommend their rejec-
ton"
In conclusion the board finds that
the eight-inch guns of the Iowa, so
far as material is concerned, We're as
strong as designed to be; that the
fracture of these guns did not result
from weakening from previous firing,
from the premature bursting of shells
in the bore, or from excessive pres
sures resulting from abnormal action
of the powder charge. But, the board
says, the increase of muZzle velocity
from 2,100 to 2,300 while at the same
time the breech pressure was de-
creased, reduced the margin of safety
too much. 1t is recommended by the
board that more extensive expert
ments be made to determine the ad-
vantages of the present grain powder
in comparison with other shapes.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Conservatism Is the Rule in All
Branches of Business.

New York, April 30.-R. G. Dun G.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business continues to move in
most conservative channels, pur-
chases being restricted to immediate
requirements and weather conditions
dominating the situation to an un-
usual extent. AT many points there
has been little spring trade, and the
transition from winter to summer will
be accomplished with scarcely any in
termediate season. Considering this
adverse factor, the current volume of
business is remarkably satisfactory.
Building operations are also deferred
to late date. Much structural work
is projected, however,
AS rule, manufacturing plants are
not working at full capacity, idle ma
chinery being most extensive in tex
tile industries. Floods and storms
have interrupted traffic, yet railway
earnings thus far reported for April
are only 5.5 per cent. smaller than
last year Iron and steel conditions
are still devoid of any definite change.

Sound vibrations may be translated
into electric impulses by a so-called
"vibrochord," recently devised. The
electric charge from an induction coil
is caused to pulsate in exact unison
with the notes from a musical instru-
ment and the notes can thus be felt
by a person through whose body the
discharge is allowed to pass. The SEN
sation is said to be agreeable, and the
inventor also claims tnat it has thera-
peutic value.
