up the happiness or misery Of human life.
AS these almost invisible trifles play such
an important part in the final whole, SO the

the structure and he set to work. He was
delayed at the beginning by heavy rains
and soft ground but when the skies had
cleared and the ground was In better con-
ditlon he began operations, with the result
that on the Sth instant he turned over to
MT. Post and Mr.. Brown the large exhibit
ton hall with it's huge proportions entire
~ complete, one week ahead of the time
he had promised, and the other buildings
are being finished with equal rapidity.
Some of the exhibitors are erecting their
own structures, but not more than half of
them.
There will be in all fifty buildings on the
lot when the exhibit is in place. The
grouping of the structures is the work of
Mr.. Brown and the engineers employed on
the works. The space is laid out in nine
teen plots or squares, with streets running
north and south and east and west Some
. of these plots have but one building, but
most of them two or three and some of
them four. All of the baiIdir rs will be of
uniform height and all but one or two will
be white, in general tone. with touches of
color where it will do the most good
Flags and bunting will fly from all the
structures and the whole will resemble a
picture of a section of the Pan-American
exposition or the worlds fair at Chicago
In addition to the buildings on the Mon
ument lot space had to be provided else
where for the exhibitions of cars and loco
motives. There will be many of these, and
more than LOGO feet of track have been
laid on 14th and B streets south. where
this section of the exhibition is to be
shown. Many appliances for stopping or
lighting cars will be given practical dem
onstration at this space.
Imperishable Mail Car.

The fact that he did not accomplish his
purpose Of getting the exhibition nearer
the place of meeting of the congress wor-
ried Mr.. Post for a little while. The ex-
position Is within sight of the New will

or street car. But Mr.. Post did not pro-
pose that the guests Of the railroad men
should be required to walk He therefore

cupy. Messrs. Post and Brown lost no time
| in coming to this city to look over the
ground. When the congress was held in
London five years ago the exhibit of rail-
way appliances was a long distance from
the place of meeting of the delegates. and
that taught the promoters of the present
exhibition that this should be different. 1t
was determined it should be near enough
to the place of meeting of the congress to
enable the most aneamic member to cast
stone from his seat into the main building.
Ihat, at least, was Mr.. Posts idea when ne
started out. He found that the New Will
lard Hotel was the place selected for the
meeting, and he Immediately set about find
ing the site for his exhibition.
Monument Lot Obtained.
There was absolutely nothing nearer than
the Monument lot that was big enough to
hold the show, and he was informed he
could not get the Monument lot 1t was
impossible he was told; Congress had
passed law prohibiting it; the officials In
charge were very sorry, but, etc, etc. Mr.
POST wanted the Monument lot-he wanted
IL the worst way: and so he figured 1t out
That If Congress could make a law prohib-
ting any one from using the grounds Com
gress might also make law permitting him
to use 1t. And he therefore asked Congress-
10 let him have the ground.
Congress was a little taken back by the
request. and MIR. Post explained He said
this ground was to be used for the purpose
or exhibiting American materials to foreign
consumers; that 1t was the first time in the
history OF the United States the interna-
tlonal railway congress had been called TO
meet within its borders. and that many OF
the men who are coming to attend II are
omclals or foreign governments, and that
sne purchases that might be made by them
from the exhibitors would be made for the
government, and not for any private Arm
or corporation. Congress hesitated-and
was lost The necessary law was passed
and permission was given. H"''eo
Ihen MI. Post and Mr.. Brown sts,rted to
work The best they could do was to GET
possession OF the ground March 20, or
ready May 3. That was a proposition
OF no mean proportions. There were thou
sands OF square feet Of exhibition space
to plot out with the necessary paths and
aisies; there were 300 firms to provide
with place to show goods. OF this whole
number about $40 wanted small space in a
large general exhibition building, and the
remainder wanted buildings of their own

Exhibit of Railway Appliances.
Washington is to have an exhibit of rail-
way appliances in buildings especially built
and decorated for the occasion, arranged in
an architectural group of more than usual
excellence on plot of ground that three
short weeks ago was a greensward and
known as part of the monument lot The
work on this exhibit is now being done, and
its progress suggests the completeness with
which the hopes of it's promoters will be
realized
appliance exhibit in any section of the
country, and the difficulties are doubled and
tripled when Washington is selected as the
point where the show Is to be held Had
New York, Chicago or st. Louis been chosen
as the site there would have been little
trouble in getting together enough appli-
ances for creditable show without going
outside of radius of two hundred miles of
the city. But the constitution and bylaws,
whatever the government rules are
called. provide that the international rail-
way congress snail De nel0 nowhere Dut

meeting place, and the people who go in
for such things as American railway APP
pliance exhibitions do not set as their am
bition desire to make pretty showing
when they bring their goods to exhibit be-
fore people who operate railroads.
The object of the exhibit is to bring to the
attention of the men who do the things that
make for the transportation of people and
freight by rail throughout the world the
most complete and up-to-date equipment to
do these things with; to show the foreign
delegates and interest them in the ma
chinery- and various bits of mechanism and
equipment that have made American rail-
roads the leaders in equipment and rolling
stock, so that these men of foreign parts
can see and buy. if they so desire. for the
use of their railroads the things they will
find best adapted to their uses.
