A few years ago beautiful diamond
was brought to him. The owner had
paid a great sum for 1t and believed 1t
to be unique. Mr.. Kennedy looked at
1t for a few minutes and promptly de-
livered an estimate. cutting the value
down by more than so per cent. The
man laughed at him, but TO reassure
himself took the stone to the biggest
jewelry house in the city.
The experts there declared absolute
Iy that the diamond was worth all that
had been paid for it. When Mr.. Ken
nedy was informed OF this, he sat down
and proved by test that the stone was
not one single diamond, as had been
supposed by the experts, but two dia-
monds so cunningiy cut and fastened
as to appear to be one. There was
only one man IN the world. so far as
known, who could do a job like that.

knew that It was possible. But the

three times as large they could not
contain all that has been offered.
Inner courts have been rooted over

have had to content themselves
with hundreds of feet.
Such being the case the exhibitors
and the exposition management

Now Practically Finished-No

st. Louis, Jan. q, 1904. - All
things appear to work TO the end of
making the 1904 Universal EXPOSE
ton stand in class by itself. In
magnitude and scope there has
never been anything like it. No
enterprise OF the kind was ever en-
dOwed with so great a working cap
ital. The world s stOrehOuses never
before contained such treasui es to
draw from.
The Columbian Exposition at
Chicago ten years ago, until the
present enterprise was launched
and its magnitude was apparent,
was supposed to have fixed stand
ard for all time TO come. That
theory has been thoroughly ex-
plOded by the marvellous accom-
plishments of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition. The Worlds Fair
at st. Louis covers 1910 acres of
ground. All of Chicago's exposi.
tion was contained in 633 acres.
Not in mere size does that present
enterprise surpass all others. The
great exhibit palaces differ from
any constructed for former exposi-
tons. They are all revelations in
the architects art. The big, rec
tangular buildings of the past have
been superseded bya group of von-
derfully beautiful and symmetrical
structures, assembled in the form

WHAT THE BROWNLOW BILL
WILL DO FOR THE
FARMER.

There is a hill introduced in Con-
gress by the Hon. Walter P. Brown
low, of Tennessee, and the Hon.
Jacob III. Gallinger, member of the
Senate from New Hampshire, ap-
propriating s24, 600, 900 on the part
of the National Government as Ma
tiOnal aid in building wagon roads.
This money is to be apportiOned
among the States according to their
population, except that no State
shall receive less than $3.50. 600.
Each State receiving National
aid from the Government must add
q like amount to the sum received.
This will, therefore, cause the
spending of $4s, 600, 900 for roads,
and will build from 5000 to 1000
miles of splendid road and will
place in each State from 100 to 600
miles of fine hard road, which will
not be affected by frost or spring
rains and on which the farmer can
haul the year round. 1t will be n
great advantage to those living near
it, but it will be a far greater ad-
vantage to the whole country be-
cause it will be wonderful object
lesson and will prove to every one
that a good, hard road, which can
be used the year round, no matter
what the rains are, is a good and
desirable thing; it will make every
one who sees this road and who
uses it want more roads just like it,
md it will cause more roads just
q it to be built.

only the best and most worthy
have been accepted, and each ex-
hibit will represent the best in its
class.
Life and demonstration have been
the keynote in the exhibits division
and wherever practicable processes
are shown, together with the fin
ished product.
] The exhibit of the Philippine
Islands, which covers forty acres,
and has been created at a cost of
about 81, 900, 900, is an exposition in
itself. The foreign nations have
never put forth such great exertions
to make interesting exhibits. The
keen rivalry that has been mani
tested between the most powerful
nations, is reflected in the exhibits
from the newer and smaller coun-
tries. China is making such prep
arations as it was never deemed
possible that exclusive nation
would consider. Fifty-one States
and Territories and more than that
number of foreign countries are
working in unison to make the Uni
versal Exposition complete in every
detail.
At this writing nearly four months
before the opening, no doubt exists
about the fair being finished in
every partic ular. The show palaces
are all ready and tba az N ihitore 90
installing their exhibits. The road
ways are practically all made. The
intramural railway, encircling the
grounds, is ready for the rolling
stock and the application of power.
The landscape is so advanced that
a few weeks in the early spring
may see it perfect, even though ali
work should cease until that time.
The weather at st. Louis has been
so mild all fall, and thus far in the
winter, that but few days have
been so cold that work out of doors
was impracticable.

lightweight wrestlers in Ohio who are
anyway In his class, Burt Chadwick, of
this city, will take to meeting bigger
game although his opponents must con-
cede him some kind of handicap

with the matches between different
class men. On March 25th, at Turner
hall, Charles Anderson, Of Detroit.
Mich, heralded as the champion 145lb.
wrestler OF his state, will attempt to
throw Chadwick three times In one
hour. II he can not do this he releases
his hold on the 500 side bet and be-
sides gets the small end of the purse.
On the other hand, providing Chad
wick gains fall the decision is given
him along with rs per cent of the gate

tried Instead of 10 o'clock the wrest-
