Beauty Size and SentiDent
Of the Worlds Fair
1t Is Larger and More Beautiful Than Anv Other
Exposition Ever Given.

When President Roosevelt touched
the electric key at the white house in
Washington, which set in motion the
machinery OF the worlds fair at St.
Louis. he not only opened to the
world the greatest display of the arts
of peace the world has ever known, but
he gave to the nation a fit climax of =
century Of growth of that vast territory
west Of the Mississippi-the Louisiana
territory.
When, at the swing of a lever, 10000
gallons of water per minute was re-
leased to flow over the beautiful cas-
cades in front of Festival hall, there
was completed the most beautiful ,ex-
position picture the world has ever
seen. picture that will live In the
mind of every visitor to the great fair.
Chicago had its Court of Honor, its
stately palaces set against q back
ground of the blue waters Of Lake
Michigan; Buffalo had its wonderful
illumination, its dusk Of evening
Frightening into day again as the
countless thousands of twinkling
lights brought back the effect of the
rising sun, but these pictures, beautiful
as they were. have been surpassed by
the glory of the cascades, the foaming
waterway, rushing downward from the
colonnades surrounding Festival hall,
to the great lagoons, with their myriad
colors, intersecting the wonderfully
beautiful grounds in all directions.

THOSE TAcTFUL SPEECHES.
ALWAYS Intended to Be Just the Right
Thing, But Invariably
Get Twisted.

The young woman who prides herself
on saying the happy word at the happy
moment was tested the other day. She
wore pearl-gray gown to a club recep-
ton, and CHANGED to be talking art on
in a corner with viyacious lady who
was slipping chocolate, relates Youths
Companion. Suddenly another wom-
an broke into the conversation.
my DEAR" she said to the vivacious
lady, "it seems that Mrs. Hemingway
is an old sweetheart of your husband.
She has been telling us what charming
letters he used to write her. and she
wants SO much to meet you. oh, here
she is now! Do let me present"
The vivacious lady sprang to her
feet. She would not have shown touch
of embarrassment for worlds, and In
her effort to appear delighted she
poured her chocolate, with its whipped
cream, all down the front of the maiden
In gray.
Don't mention it," exclaimed the tact
full girl, as she mopped the brown
ocean with lace handkerchief. I'm
sure it's no wonder you were awkward.

it weren't for that, perhaps l couldn't
have behaved so we'll about this"
About t.at time look on the viva
cious lady's face brought the sweet pratt
tier to herself with shock, and sre
started for home. devoutly wishing that
she had been born mute.
There was another cheerful little spill
at a recent church dinner. The presi-
dent of the missionary society, atttred

one will ever know Just how It hap

silk who was sitting at the table sud-
denly felt soft shower Of something
on her shoulders, and then realized
that the platter itself had followed tho
butter-balls and landed between her
and the back of her chair. The ANA
teur waitress, with an. exclamation OF
dismay. extracted the platter and be-
gan to ladle out the misshapen globes
of butter, while the buttered lady tried
to think of something kind and COM

anxiety about the dress, only exclaimed:

Fifty Eighth Gathering Of the Ma.

Tribute to Speaker.

Washington, April 26.-Several sem
ators counseled delay in the senate on
Monday in the construction Of the bat
tleship provided for in the naval APP
preparation bill until the war in the
far east demonstrates the comparative
utility Of the big sea fighters. The
military academy bill. the last of the
general appropriation measures. was
considered. The house passed q large
number of bills, including the Alaska
delegate bill.
Washington, April 27.-The senate
yesterday passed the Military academy
appropriation bill, the last of the supply
measures. In the house Mr.. Dalzell re-
newed the charge made on Saturday to
the effect that Mr.. Cochran accepted pay
for making republican speeches during
the campaign of 1896. Mr. Cochran in
dignantly repeated his denial of the &C.
cusation. and presented resolution CALL
ing for the appointment of commission
to investigate the charges. The speaker.
q point of order having been raised
against the resolution, asked for time to
consider the point. and the resolution
went over.
Washington, April 2s.-1n the senate
yesterday final conference reports on
the sundry civil. general deficiency,
post Office and the military academy
appropriation bills were agreed to,
practically without opposition. The
nomination Of William d. Crum to be
collector of the port of Charleston. s.
c., was considered in executive session.
A failure to confirm the appointment
resulted. In the house Messrs. Little
field (Me.) anu Williams (Tenn.) made
political speeches intended for the
coming presidential campaign. Speaker
Cannon ruled that the Cochran reso.
luton for an investigation of the Dali
zell charges that Cochran had cam
paigned for Mckinley for "hire" in
1896, was not privileged matter.
Washington. April 29.-The second
session of the Fifty-eighth congress was
declared adjourned at two O'Clock by
President Pro Tenn. Fry in the senate and
at 2:10 by Speaker Cannon in the
house. The president remained at the
capitol until the end, and many bills
were signed by him, including the post
Office, sundry civil. general deficiency
and military academy appropriation
bills, and the Panama canal measure.
The closing session of the house was
made notable by the demonstration
which was evoked by the adoption of q
resolution offered by Mr.. Williams, the
minority leader, testifying to the cour.
tesy and impartial manner in which
Speaker Cannon had presided over the
house.

Hardness Of Spring Acts as Consid-
cradle Check to Progress
Of Trade

New York, April 3O.-Bradstreet's
says: "Distributive trade continues
quiet at most markets, and April trade
the country over has not equaled q
year ago. The absence heretofore OF
the usual volume of spring demand is
depressing to dealers, who fear they
will be obliged to carry over surplus
stocks. Signs of improvements are,
however, to be noted in the northwest.
where better weather has helped retail
and wholesale trade. Pacific coast
trade and crop adv;ces are better than
of late, and while weather and crop
conditions are backward, at the south
the exceptionally strong position of the
leading interests renders the outlook
for the future very hopeful. A favor
able development Of the week has been
the breaking of the drought in the
southwest. Backward weather has re-
tarded cotton planting and spring
wheat seeding. while crop termination
and growth is generally reported slow
the country over. During the first four
months of they ear upward Of $4,000
men have struck for various causes.
but while there is considerable unrest,
rather less than the usual May day
disturbances are looked for"
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: Business continues to
move in most conservative channels,
purchases being restricted to imned:-
ate requirements and weather condt-
tons dominating the situation to an
unusual 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 adj
verse factor, the current volume of
business is remarkably satisfactory.
Building operations are also deferred
to a late date.

Besides a moaern coming press,
from which drops a bright medal at
every click, is screw press built in
1895 and used at that time to stamp
small coins. There is also hammer
120 years old and small pair of bal
ances formerly used in the Philadel-
phia mint. Comparing these with the
improvements made in the last 100
years reveals how much easier it is
now for Uncle Sam to replenish his
treasury than 1t was when he was
young in the business.
All of the machines used in the
plant are driven by Independent direct
current motors. the power for which
is transformed from $50 volts to 220.
The gas for all heating operations.
such. as annealing, melting, ETC., is
manufactured by an Independent plant
situated outside the building, and so
arranged that 1t can be controlled in
the exhibit. These machines were de-
signed and built especially for this
purpose.
First of the series Of devices com.
posing the plant Is q furnace which
supplies heat Of 1000 degrees F. for
the melting Of metal alloys. Here the
metal is east into ipgots and washed
in a dilute solution of sulphuric acid
to free the surface from copper oxide.
The ingots are then run through the
rolling mill and reduced in thickness
from one-half an inch to eighty five
thousandths Of IN inch. This mill is
operated by q 50 horse power motor.
After rolling the strips are heated
in the annealing furnace to soften
them for the cutter.
Processes used in the making OF
paper money are altogether different.
for 1t is here that the printer and not
the machinist and founder serves a
usefulness. In another section Of the
big Government building at the
worlds fair there is fully-equipped
hank note printing plant.
In the Palace Of Transportation may
be seen a full size section Of the great
tunnel which runs, from Jersey City
under the Hudson river, under New
York city at Thirty-fourth street, and
under the East river to Long Island, .
distance of eight miles. It illustrates
the tremendous work and millions OF
dollars expended upon one Of the
greatest engineering works Of modern
times. A great laboratory for testing
the power, efficiency and economy of
locomotives is also in this building.
Locomotives will be under full steam
and full speed in this laboratory, the
greatest show of locomotive testing
ever conceived and costing quarter

LIBERAL ARTS. WITH GOVERNMENT
FAIR ST louis

surpasses all others in beauty, SO, also,
does it in size. One thousand two hun
dred and forty acres, literally covered
with the treasures. the productions, the
curiosities of .-4c world, tell the story
Of the fair in sentence. No one Wis
itor will ever see it all, though he
spent the full time the exposition is
open at the task. An exposition which
cost $5O,OO0,OO0 before its gates were
opened to the public; an exposition
to which 50 nations from all cor
ners of the world have sent their
best for the people of the world
to look upon; an exposition two miles
long and one mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public were invited; an ex-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American expositions
combined. Such is the exposition
with which st. Louis celebrates the
centennial Of the Louisiana purchase.
:. But the men responsible for the ex-
position do not wish that It should at
tract by its size alone. They have
builded for beauty. as we'll as for big
ness, and who can stand in the center
of the great panorama without being
aroused to pitch of enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? It is
the beauty, rather than the size of the
fair, that first appeals to him.
Another thing that appeals to the
American, the man who loves his coun-
try, is the sentiment the exposition
stands for. It. is sentiment that Is
fully exemplified in the imposing he
roic statues Of the states that stand on
either side Of Festival hall. These
statues typify, not the states of the
east. but these Of the west, the states
carved out OF the Louisiana territory,
the states that stretch from the gulf
to the Canadian border. from the Mis-
sissippi to Puget sound; states that
have within q century Of time been
builded out Of the wilderness. It is
for these the exposition has been build
ed; 1t is these again that have made
the exposition possible. The lesson
they teach is written deep in the his
tory of the nation.

cf the wonders this exposition has
brought to the doors Of the people of
the central west is impossible in the
space Of newspaper article. Twelve
thousand car loads Of exhibits found
space within the great palaces. It Is
almost Impossible to realize what such
statement means until one has gone
from building to building, from ex-
hibit to exhibit. Nor is tie space In
the building wasted. Every niche is
flied with sv,-,ething Of interest, and
the demand was for almost double the
amount at the disposal Of the author
tiles. Some idea Of this may be had
from the statement that the breakfast
food manufacturers alone asked for
more space than would have filled all
the Agricultural building, covering 10
acres of ground, and with four miles
Of aisles.
To pick even the more interesting ex-
hibtts is almost an imDossibility,
though among them might be mem
