Lewis e. Clark Exposition.

1t is a noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west of the
Rocky mountains which has secured
the aid of the government.
And it is also surprising what an in
terest is manifested in the exposition
by the people of the east. They see
in the exposition an opportunity to visit
the Western country at a greatly re-
duced expenditure of money, and not
only the exposition itself, but view
the wonders OF the Western scenery,
and witness the great resources of the
Northwest and the opportunities af-
fordcd. The Great Northern railway
passenger department has been flooded
with inquiries as to the exposition,
and it augurs we'll for big travel
through the Northwest this year.

The legislature provided that ccr-

A method has recently been invent
ed Of depositing metal coating e,ec-
trically on laces and other fine fabrics
The process is still kept a secret, but
it turns out the most surprising re-
suits, in effect changing the tissues
exposed into the daintiest fabrics of
gold, silver or bronze. The utility of
the metalized laces covers various
fields ;they serve for table ornamental
ton and for center pieces; architects
use them in mural decorations: in ap
plications on upholstery and for the
hangings Of panels in salons, boudoirs
and rich dining halls.

Wilson is one of the conspicuous VIC
Tins Of the persistent social eossips
Mr.. Wilson lost his wife some 13 years
ago, and it is doubtful if he has ever
given single thought to remarriage.
This does not prevent the peS&s,dical
appearance of the. newspaper para
graph st sting that the secretary is
about to marry lady who is various
ly described as a school teacher IN his
own state of Iowa, a mi!1dle-agea clerk
in his department, or charming wild
ow in society.
Mr. Wilson has long since given up
the idea Of suppressing this sort Of
gossip, and has resigned himself to the
fate Of being talked about, no matter
how distasteful it is. The fact is, the
secretary is too busy with the affairs
of his department, and his mind is so
engrossed with plans for the advance
ment Of agriculture and the betterment
of the condition of farmers, that he
has little Or no time to give to the
lighter and more personal affairs of
life. He is more diligent in seeking an
effective enemy of the boil Weevil or in
the incubation of sails to make them
more productive than he is in the fair
sex or in the quest of a wife.
Attorney General Moody, the bache-
lor member Of the presidents cabinet,
is another target for Dame Rumor's
shafts. Mr.. Moody has been too busy
all his life building up reputation in
the law to give much thought to Seek
ing 4 partner for life The accommo-
dating social gossips of the city, how
ever, have settled his fate for him, if
they are to be believed, and have him
engaged to marry charming widow
in Boston, who is conducting very
prosperous millinery establishment.
They declare that the lady, highly edu-
Gated and charming as she is, cares
nothing for society, and is particularly
Indifferent to official society, and
therefore has declined to become Mrs.
Moody as long as Mr. Moody remains
in the government service. When he
retires, however, it is declared that
one of his first moves will be to take
the Boston widow into partnership for
life and then enter upon the practice
Of law at the Hub.

and propagating this important food
fish was seriously retarded this spring
The low temperature of the waters
produced by the continued cold
weather interfered with spawning and
then the fishing season opened with
tremendous onslaughts by fishermen.
Mr.. Lowers reports that instead Of
taking hundreds Of millions of shad
eggs, as the commission has been able
to do in past years, the government
will be lucky to obtain 100000 eggs
this year.
Only jewellers along the Atlantic
coast appreciate to the full this splen-.
did fish. The season begins early in
Florida and works up along the coast,
reaching it's height when the Susque-
banua and Delaware rivers are
reached. The first shad in the market
is a sure harbinger OF spring, and is
welcomed as joyfully as the spring
flowers in the hills. With the coming
Of warm days the shad leave their
winter haunts and seek the waters of
TIE bays and rivers. Their destination
Is the shallow depths of the fresh wa
ter rivers, where tboir eggs will quick
~ ripen. The taking of the fish by
millions in nets interferes with the run
and the roe shad that have gotten
through and reached the spawning
beds have not produced because the
temperature of the water has been so
low.
The government considers the prop
agation of the shad SO important that
an annual appropriation of $25O,0OO is
made for the collection of the shad
eggs. Fishermen are paid $40 per mill
lion for the eggs, but the outlay this
year will be very United. The end of
the season comes about May 20, and
the prospect is that the government
will have mighty few shad fry to plant
IN the coast rivers this year. The re-
suit Of the scarcity will be felt three
or fou: years from now.

lishment of Presbyterian cathedral
in Washington has inspired this latest
rumor: 1t is suggested that if the
matter is taken up by the Presbyteri-
an general assembly Judge Harlan will
be requested to take charge of the
movement, and in order to do SO he
will relinquish his place on the bench
and devote all his energies to the
building of the cathedral.
Recently the judge was asked con-
corning the report that he would leave
the bench for the purpose of further
ing the Presbyterian cathedral move
ment. He declared that he was not in
a position to discuss the matter, and
whatever was done would depend upon
the action of the general assembly. He
announced his great interest in this
movement and his willingness to as
sumo large share of the burden of
raising the funds, but he was not pre-
pared to say whether he would leave
the supreme bench for the purpose of
devotiDg all his time to the matter.
Judge Harlan is entitled to retire.
menc, having passed the requisite age,
but few OF his colleagues are more
wrapped up in their work than is he.
He has been a member of the supreme
bench for % years, and still does his
full share Of it's work. He is physical
ly in the finest condition and demonz
strared only a few weeks ago that he
was e. formidable opponent for any
one to meet on the golf links. He took
part in a golf competition and played
IS holes over rough, billy course,
and won the match for his club, the
Chevy Chase Golf club, by defeating
his opponent on the eighteenth green.
He has made some Of the most diff
cult strokes ever played on the Chevy
Chase links, and it is no unusual thing
for him to walk from his home to the
links, distance of four or five miles.
The Judge attributes his fine physical
condition to his indulgence in this
sort Of out-of-door sport.

appropriations committee learned that
one item of extravaganza in govern
ment affairs is the printing of docu-
ments and reports that are of COM
oaratively limited interest. He has
been convinced that some of the most
ornate specimens of the printers and

the government printing Office really
should never have been authorized,
and their costly production is a waste
of public money.
The Daughters of the American Rev.
Olu5ion secured national charter in
1896 which provides that it shall make
report to the secretary Of the Smith
sonian institution, and that tie Sec
rotary shall communicate to congress
such portions of the report as nay be
of national interest. So far the secre-
tary has assumed that the voluminous
annual reports of this society are all
of national interest, and they have
been sent bodily to congress and print
ed at public expense. A review of the
report makes it difficult to understand
what national interest there can be in
the major part of such a document.
Speaker Cannon, with this expensive
report in view, has of late years per-
sistently opposed the granting of ma
tional charters to any society unless
the act contained a provision specific
ally declaring, that the organization
shall il no manner whatever become a
charge upon the United States treas
ury. His insistence on this-restriction
has proven a damper to number of
societies seeking charter at the hands
Of congress which would permit the
publication Of their reports by tho gov

Bonds.

St. Paul State Treasurer julius FL.
Block has under consideration rec
ommendation to the board of invest
ment of the sale of all or part of the
states holdings of the Virginia bonds.
Mr.. Block is Investigating the proba-
BILE price that these bonds would bring
in case they were offered for sale.
The state holds $2,l45, 900 of these
bonds, and all except $4,000 of them
mature in 1891, with an option on the
part of the state of Virginia to redeem
them at par after 1906. Mr.. Block is
now corresponding with the authori-
ties of Virginia to ascertain what pro.
portion of them, if any, they expect to
redeem. These bonds bear interest at
the rate of per cent, payable semi
annually.
There is a great demand for loans
from the state-from our own school
districts, municipalities and counties
for the purpose of building school
houses, court houses, constructing
drainage bitches, etc, and it is at pres!
ent impossible to supply all these calls.
This is particularly true of the north
ern part Of the state, which is rapidly
developing. These loans pay the state
per cent interest, or 33% per cent
moro than the Virginia bonds bring.
Mr.. Blocks object in this disposition
of the bonds is thus not only to aid the
municipalities and school districts in
our own state, but it would also result
in much greater revenue to the state
school, university and other trust
funds, now holding these bonds.
