toric memory. the great racial tradition
of the Irish. may be something more than
a subject for aimless brooding: 1t may be
source Of life and hope
KEYNOTE OF EXHIBITION
Hope, indeed. is q keynote Of the cxhi-
bition. 1t shows US Ireland at work. 1t
is true that the ghost of mediaeyal Ireland
is summoned up in the reproduction of the
strange Twelfth Century building known
as Cormac's Chapel. in the cast of the
magnificent sculptured cross from Monas-
terboice and in the striking display of
decorative work in gold and bronze from
the Eighth to the Twelfth Century. We
are taken back even to far earlier. to pre-
historic. times in some OF the elaborate
gold ornaments and beautifully shaped
axes and sword blades of pagan Ireland.
But side by side with these We see the
products of the celebrated Wexford fac
tory for agricultural machinery, the out
put of which is finding its way into every
British colony: we see the imposing ex-
hibit of the Belfast rope works. the largest
in the world. We see woolen materials,
showing originality Of design and admira-
able technical finish, from number of
centers in the South: we see the superb
carpets already referred to. the famous

dences that the fine artistic taste and won
derful manual dexterity Of the ancient
CeIts have not deserted their modern
descendants. but only wanted a fair op-
portunity for their display.
In the history loan collection there are
two features which give peculiar distinc-
ton and attraction to this exhibition of
Irish art and industry. One of these is
the very remarkable collection of Irish
prints and engravings which has been put
together by Mr.. Walter Strickland of the
Dublin National Gallery. We have here
not only a large collection Of land
scapes from every part Of the Green Isle,
but also portraits Of almost every man
who played an important part in Irish his
tory and social life. from the Elizabethan
period to the present day. The series be-
gins with Domnal OSullivan. the heroic
chieftain. whose march across Ireland
while best with innumerable foes, forms
one of the great episodes In the brilliant
history of Irish soldiership, and II ends
with the rugged though furrowed counte-
nance of the late Doctor Salmon, provost
of Trinity College. one of the foremost
mathematicians OF the Nineteenth Century
SILVER PLATE COLLECTION.
The other feature of special interest Is
the collection of silver plate of the Seven
teenth and Eighteenth centuries, which
has been obtained on loan from ancient
families. collectors and corporations In
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-10-02


Ireland Irish craftsmen were famous for
their silver work. and specimens of near
ly every variety of the manufacture for
public or domestic use are to be seen
here. Among articles of exceptional inter
est may be mentioned the great silver
mace presented by King William Ill to
the Corporation of Drogheda. the punch
bowl Of the celebrated Hell Fire Club, ="
which could tell some strange tales II 1t
could only speak. and a large set of the
curious dish rings peculiar to Ireland,
which were used by the Irish gentry OF
the Eighteenth Century to prevent their
hot punch bowls or other dishes from
spelling the polish of their mahogany din
ing tables.
Amusement Is not forgotten in the Irish
Village. The national characteristics OF
the warm-hearted race would not permit
that In Biarney Castle there is a spa
cious theater. the stage OF which would
permit the presentation of the largest
spectacle and which has a seating capa-
city of 1.So9 persons. Here one may hear
Ireland's melodies sung in the most de-
lightful manner and witness charming
piaylets or neat, light-footed Irish dancers
tripping their native rinkas to the ilt of
the pipes.

SHOCKING SCENES ENACTED
IN PARK AT VERSAILLES.

Paris, Oct. L-(Copyright. 1so4.)-Wide-
spread unfavorable comment has been
aroused by the recent use Of the part at
Versailles for the reproduction Of highly
sensational episodes supposed to have been
witnessed in the time of Louis XIV.
Dressed In costumes of that period. more
than a hundred persons rode to Versailles.
and were rapidly driven to the park. The
gates were closed and the public barred.
The grea, fountains. that play rarely,

SMALLEST LOCOMOTIVE IN WORLD
EXHIBITED AT TEXAS PAVILION

1t has nineteen different parts. In tho
boiler LIPS holes were drilled and as many
bolts riveted. Forty-eight parts are in the
boiler. The cylinder of the locomotive has
l3s parts. requiring eighty-eight holes TO
be drilled and tapped and the same num-
ber of tiny steel nuts and bolts.
The first passengers TO be hauled by the
small locomotive were five children at
Fort Worth. who had a most delightful
ride upon the track Mr.. Costan had con-
structed at his home. The engine Is paint
ed purple and old gold. in honor OF the
Eiks. and the number OF the locomotive IS

which Mr.. Costan is member.

later he began his ffe's work: that OF

pleasure was derived by Mr. Costan In
the labor OF building the locomotive.
The St. Louis Republic., 1904-10-02

After six years OF patient labor. Rob-
ert L. Costan OF Forth Worth. Tex. has
constructed what is probably the smallest
locomotive in the world pulling passen-
gers The miniature engine has been on
exhibition at. the Texas building at the
Worlds Fair. and has attracted much at
tention.
This part Of the rolling stock Of the LII
liputian railway is foIr and one-haif feet
thirteen and one-half inches high, and
when loaded with co;% and water only
weighs 1876 pounds. The little track on
which the engine runs is but five and a
half inches wide. In the locomotive and
tender are $50 pieces.
One of the most difficult feats In connec-
tion with the construction Of this baby
locomotive by Mr.. Costan was the making
of the little steam gauge. upon which he
spent so much Of the six years time re-
quired to complete the prodact Of his me
chanical skill. The gauge is only three
fourths OF an inch in diameter. yet It reg
isters accurately from one to 200 pounds

There is one thing that can be said with
out hesitation about the Irish exhibition
at the Worlds Fair
Whatever else it may or may not be. It
Is characteristically and emphaticaliy
any means.
Many nations and lands which are rep
resented at the Fair are trying to show
how up-to-date. how successful. fngeni-
GUS and workmanlike they are in various
directions. Two races, the Irish and the
japanese, seem inspired by the Idea Of
showing sIpply themselves.
To compete for trade is no doubt part.
and an important part. of their pro-
gramme. But the main idea is to exhibit
their own social life. civilization and ma
tional character. so that visitors can see
not merely what they produce. but what
they are, and what are the guiding ideas
which govern their history.
In ireland the history of the past IN
iuences the present perhaps more than in
the case Of any other European people.
It is therefore natural that great part.
and by no means the least interesting
part. of the Irish exhibition should be de-
voted to the past of the country
Irishmen have been sometimes re-
preached. and perhaps with some Justice
with brooding to much and too exclusive
ly over the tragic history of their coun-
try. The Irishman OF to-day seems more
disposee to use history as a stimulus and
as a lesson in application to the needs of
the living present. When we see the hand
of the masters who wrought a thousand
years ago guiding the beautiful designs OF
the Donegal carpets of to-day, and the

poetry Of Celtic Ireland are e1shrined ap-

At one time In the worlds history
a daring Amer ca ! naval com a d.

sway over her heart so sweetly des

had been loving.
Catharine's regard for the Ameri'
can people was great, though In
common with all other European
rulers she had q small Idea of the
importance of the new republic
and In spite of the recreancy of her
departed commodore, she remained
friendly. And to this day-or per.
baps to the recent day when Uncle
Sam put his foot down and asserted
that no encroachment on China
should be permitted by the war
ring Powers In tine East-this
friendship has ostensibly continued.
School books have for many years
taught that Russia was practically
the sworn ally of the United States.
In the days of the Civil war Lin
coin could have had Russian d aet
to blockade Southern ports If he
had wanted 1t, and 1t was Russia
that stood In the way of European
recognition of tn. Southern States.
Eve ats of the past few years, how
ever, have shown that Russia was
wholly selfish In considering the
United States and In offering assist
ance. Belief In eternal enmity be.
tween ourselves and Great, Britain,
Russia's natural enemy, was the
underlying cause of 1t all
1t was for years and years the
hope that some day the United
States would fall upon Great
Britain and crush her. So, when
not long since the great mutual
admiration society, of which Ameri-
cana and English are the only
members, was organized, Russia
began to sit up and take notice.
Gradually. she came to the conclu,
sion that instead of the English.

to pieces for the benefit of the rest
of the world they had formed an

 Both new building will cost not less than $50,000. They have employed the Bruce Architectural Company, of Att
 lanta, Ga, and the buildings will be of the very best that can be built There
 is practically a united sentiment for the new buildings. The county does not owe a dollar, and there is no bet ter time than at present ta make these necessary Improvements. The old buildings have been condemned by ev- cry grand jury that has convened for the last three years and 8 committee
 of citizens met last Saturday and after careful examination have decided tht the old structures can not be repaired There arc three new store rooms building and another will be begun as soon as the material can be placed on
 the ground. There will be expended
 in the near future several thousand
 dollars in constructing new buildings
 in Prattville, and the sign of new
 era is at hand for this city.
 The Continental Gin Company is try
 ing to purchase the old Methodist
 Episcopal Church building for d ware
 house. The church Is willing tO sell.
 and will build a new structure as soon
 as the deal is completed. It is thus
 seen the New Year promises to be one
 of the most prosperous this town has
