Are Part of The Celestial Empires
Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The Chinese exhibit at the Worlds
Fair is filled with pleasing surprises

rant and shop, Chinese weaving and
some of the beautiful silks and wear
ing apparel Of the Chinese and their
methods of manufacturing them.
One feature of the exhibit is two
magnificent Chinese beds, each of
which has the appearance of being a
small house of great beauty. One is a
suplmer bed, the other for winter. The
summer bed is hand carved and inlaid
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes exquisitely carved and so
skillfully joined as to appear part of
the wood. The bed and furniture are
of carved bamboo. The bed consists of
an anteroom, with tables, chairs and
tea stands, and in an inner room, which
is the sleeping apartment there is a
couch with coverings Of gauzy silks.
The winter bed is still more elabo-
rate. 1t consists of three compartments.
The first contains four chairs, q tea poy
and chest of drawers. This is the sit
No II
ing room, and the third is the sleep
ing apartment, or the couch itself. The
furniture is of rosewood inlaid with
ivory carving Of birds, flowers and
trees. The couch is covered with silks
of the finest texture and in gaudy col
Ors The sleeping compartments are
lighted with Chinese lanterns Of silk
hung at the outer entrance, while the
light enters through sauze panels, hand
painted and in forms of rosewood in
laid with ivory figures.
A table and dish made of highly pol
ished ash, with eXquiSitely carved
bamboo figures inlatd, are shown. The
work is so artistically done that each
article seems to have beer made of
one piece of wood.
There is also a large display of Chi
nese lanterns made of silk, gauze and
other light material and some made Of
beads artistically arranged with glass
centers. The silk and .gauze are beau
tifully hand painted.

an important part in the development
of the nations industries. The earliest
form of every device of human inven-

the year $50 B. c., is one of the most
ancient exhibits at the Exposition.
There is also a model of the first steam
engine, made in Egypt in the same
year.

The United States Government build
ing at the Worlds Fair occupies an
elevated site just south Of the main
picture of the Exposition. The great
central dome of the Government build
ing is visible from the very center of
the Fair looking across the picturesque
sGnken garden that lies between the
Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and
Liberal Arts.
The hill slope in front of the Gov
eminent building is terraced with
broad stairways almost completely
covering the slope. The building is 800
feet long by $50 feet wide and is the
largest structure ever provided at an
exposition by the federal government.
1t is distinguished from all the other
large buildings at the Exposition by
the steel truss construction, the entire
roof being supported by steel arches,
forming a splendid domed ceiling.
In this building are installed the ex-
hibits Of all the executive departments
of the government. The building is q
vast storehouse of an endless variety
of treasures dear to the heart of every
true American. Precious documents
are to be seen here, and the autographs
OF our great men Of the past are ON

and soldiers, carefully preserved
through generations, are exhibited.

cars, in which men attached to the
United States railway mail service are
actively engaged In throwing" the
mails. Here you will see the postal
clerks at work, just as they work while
speeding along railroad track.
A curious collection of old time rel
les from che poStottlce museum at
Washington illustrates as no verbal
description can do the crude begin
nings of the postal system. One of
these relics is an old fashioned stage
coach that once carried United States
mails through portion of the Louisi-
ana purchase territory. President
Roosevelt, who once inspected it, ex-
amined with rough riders interest
the bullet holes which stage robbers
and mountain brigands shot through
its stiff leathern curtains. Generals
Sherman and Sheridan and President
Garfield rode in this old coach during
the strenuous days of frontier life.
Among the collection of documents
showing the primitive postal methods
in vogue In the early days is to be
seen the old book Of accounts kept by
the first postmaster general, benjamin
Franklin. ali written by hand. There
is rare collection of stamps, includ-
ing ancient Filipino, Porto Rican and
Cuban stamps. The postol1ice depart

Church Instruction In Schools.

considerable has been said lately,
by certain newspapers in Idaho,
concerning the teaching of the doc
trlnes of the mormon church IN the
public schools, in certain counties.
lhe facts are as follows: For
several years, in this county at least,
a GENTLE school teacher could not
get school in a mormon district,
IT member of that faith could DOS
slbly be had. Happily this idea is
diving out, and now GentIles, in part
of the districts at least, stand nearly
on equal footing with the Mormon
teachers, though the latter, outside
of Montpelier, are still given the
preference. The reason for the old
rule was, that the teacher was ex-
pected, after the school hours, to
have an hours instruction or so on
the Mormon faith. Students, not
members of the faith, were not ex-
pected to remain toUhear these dis
courses. We think this idea has
gradually gone out of practice in all
districts during the last year or two.
Andfurther the Examiner believes
that the school houses in Bear Lake
county are used less for religious
meetings than in any other county
in the state. Almost all school dis
tricts have also meeting house 50
that there is no occasion to use the
school buildings.

Ten Nights in a Barroom.

The late Henry Ward Beecher
witnessed performance of ''Ten
Nights in Barroom," and was
heard to say after the entertain
ment, 'sLike the sun, it is none the
less beautiful because of it's age,"
and that is the opinion of thousands
of others. 1t is the grandest drama
ever written and Will live forever.
John E. Stone has this season or
gained the strongest company to
produce this play ever put together.
Mr.. Allan Wychoff has been spec
tally engaged to play the part of Joe
Morgan. one of the strongest char
acter parts ever written. His I'M
personation Of this part is so real
istic that one almost thinks he is
seeing the real article. The comedy
element is ably taken care of and
there are many laughable scenes to
offset the more somber parts.
.sTen Nights III Barroom' is in
dorscd by the clergy and the press.
1t is pure, moral and instructive;
every mother, father, young man,
sweetheart and child should see this
production played just as it was
written. At the opera house Satur

city ticket, had better take fur
Their step to insure no complications
later on, should the ticket they
name be elected. 1t is doubtful if
the primaries and convention have
been legally called, and with doubt
in the air, the convention had better,
after the ticket is nominated, file
the same by petition with the clerk.
This can be done the night the con-
vention meets, by having the dele
gates sign the petition then and
there before adjourning.
The Examiner believes this is a
very important matter. If the city
is bonded this year for waterworks
system, no doubt can be raised as to
the validity of the officers to issue
the bonds, if their nominations are
filed by petition. If not some ques-
ton might arise that would defeat
the city in getting system put in.
Better be on the safe side.

The Coming Convention.

The city convention, WHICH meets
tomorrow night IN the opera house,
has an important piece of work be-
fore it. Montpelier is on the eve of
a big boom IN the way of new build
ings, new improvements and a vast
ly increased population. To provide
for all of this, it is necessary to
nominate ticket that stands for
progress and up to-date methods.
One that will favor water system,
improved streets, good sanitation
and economical government. Men,
and women too if any are named
for office, that are able and willing
to devote the necessary time to the
clty's work, only should be selected.
The holdovers in the council are
Messrs. Ed Rich, DR.. Poynter and
Chas. E. Harris
For mayor the following have
been mentloned: J. n. Downing,
Jas. Redman, J. A. Rostan, Geo.
Gardner, DR.. Poynter and several
others.
For clerk, the following have been
spoken of: Ed O'Connor, Richard
Groo, Joe Robson. G.. n. Sweet
and others.
No names have been mentioned
for treasurer or city engineer.
For councilman in the Ist ward
Fred Crulkshank will probably be
named to succeed himself, as it is
likely also with J. F. O'Connor, In
the second. Unless he is chosen for
mayor, Mr.. Downing may also sue
coed himself in the third. Of course
this is only guesswork as to the
councilmen. New men NAV be
chosen all the way round for city
"dads.'
Whether there will be two tickets
in the field cannot now be deter
mined. 1t depends on the action OF
tomorrow nights convention.
