the up-to-date mail car, and the
Smithsonian exhibit. It would take
at least two days to go through and
see this last exhibit right, and 1t Is
a wonder that will never be forgotten
by any one who takes an interest in
prehistoric man.
| have been on the grounds hve
days, but it would take as many
months to see everything. 1t will take
at least two months yet to get all the
buildings completed, and everything
in good running order. About half OF
the exhibits are open to the public.
There are plenty of restaurants and
refreshment stands on the grounds,
and you can get very good meal at
from so cents to $1O0, but the hard
est thing is to find a good clean bed
in room by yourself. am paying
$4 per night for private room, and
extra at that. You can get
a cot in a room with FIVE or six 9TH
ers at from 81 to $3.50 per night, but
do not fancy that kind of deal.
The villages of the tribes of the va
rious nations of the world, their
modes of living, habits and costumes,
are something never to be forgotten.
The best way to know of this fairy
land is to come to st. Louis. Bring

and is a perfect fairy land, as much
so as the combined efforts of the
worlds governments can make it. II
covers nearly 1900 acres of ground
and the total cost will be over $780,
600, 900.
understand that the finances of
the fair are in very bad condition, as
it takes every cent of the gate money
to pay running expenses, AMI the di-
rectors have no show to get out Of
debt. The largest crowd was on the
opening day and it was claimed that
over 100000 people we're on the
grounds that day.

MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
Unbonded Government Clerk Carries Money from Washington to New
 York in Suit Case.

Col Edwards, chief of the division of insular affairs, recently, told the l story of bureau clerks remarkable trip a few days ago with $3,0O0,000 of government cash. The clerk is Marion B. Beall, whose home is in Fort Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York.
 Under the direction of the insular department the hints and the bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in the Philip pines To- MT. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions The bureau of printing and engraving 1 turned out s3,000,000 in $1,000 bills. The insular department wanted to get the money to New York. Beall went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting tho treasure. Eight hundred dollars" said each of the companies.
 That's too much, said Col Ed wards when Beall reported Whats the matter with you putting the money in suit case and taking it up yourself?"
 Why, sure, can take it if you are willing to trust me with it." said Beall.
 The money was put in suit case and Beall, although not even under bond, carried it from this city to New York, whence it was shipped.

STRANGE MARINE MONSTER
ous Fish Weighing 125 Pounds with Rod and Reel.

Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of he Catalina Island band, is a most en- thusiastic and picturesque angler.
 Recently he made the record Jewish catch, one weighing 425 pounds; the oth- .r morning he though he would inscribe the tuna record also on his diadem, and taking the Catalina hiked out after the biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to be taken He had uncorked but a small DOT tion of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz.
 And then it whizzed. By consummate skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from getting away in the first grand rushes, and then he began on the aggressive. For an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight lasted. It was aformidable-looking crea- ture that was at length brought alongside the boat, and there was debate, after it was gaffed, as to whether it would be welcome addition to the crew.
 Hung up on the rack here, the creature began to excite comment To the casual observer it was but moon-fish, a rather unusual catch, but occasionally caught and brought in by being entangled in the fshermen's nets. This, however. was caught with hook and rod and reel, something unknown to fishermen hith- ertc A r1orra ct t,,o fish also showed a radical difference between this and the sworG-fisa.
 1 Its sword is rot so long as that of the l genuine sword-fish of this length: the lower jaw Is unduly elongated; it has on its back collapsible fin, which when extended, stands up IS inches above the fish, but folds down into grove, until i 1t is unnoticeable; the tail is like the screw of propeller, and very similar in appearance to that of the tuna
 The fish sharps are all guessing. The like of this has not been seen here before, nor can any enlightenment be had from any books on the subject to be had here.
 The strange creature is nine feet long and weighs 125 pounds. The sword is 24 inches long and the tail is 39 across.

NEARLY WEEDS BRIDESMAID.
Minister Had Reached Hateful Part When Bride, Realizing Situ-
 atfon, Calls q Halt.

But for sudden protest by the bride the bridegroom at a wedding in St. Mary's church, New Britain, Conn, would have been married to the brides maid the other day. Peter Wood and Miss Rosa Strader, the principals, en- tered the church with Stephen Ferry and Miss Edwina Softleigh, the best man and bridesmaid. When the party reached the altar the bridesmaid. in- stead of retiring in favor of the bride. remained at the bridegroom's side.
 Rev. J. T. Winters began the cere- mony, but just as he had reached the fateful part Miss Strader jumped up and asked Father Winters to stop.
 An explanation followed, the young women exchanged places, and the ceremony went on. The bridesmaid had never attended a wedding before.
