Washington, Nov. IA The next

at Seattle. but its scope will be
limited to the Pacific coast, Alaska,
Central and South America, the
Philippine the Hawaiian and other
Islands of the Pacific. Australia. Chi

vitation will be sent to all the ma

lefforts will be made to have them
Thoroughly represented. our Latin
American neighbors as well as our
original friends. Ii Is considered
wise to limit the representation be-
cause 1t is easier to do we'll with too
little than too much. Missionaries
will be sent to represent the cause
among the nations named. and next
winter a bill will be introduced into
congress making an appropriation
for proper government exhibit. II
is expected that the United States
will do as we'll at Seattle as ii did
at Portland and will require about
the same amount OF monsy. No subs
sidy or general appropriation for
the promotion of the enterprise will
be asked. Seattle feels competent to
stand on her own bottom and fur
nish capital enough to carry out the
scheme.
The title of the exposition will
have four sections. II will be called

A jocular bequest of David Hume
to his friend, John Home, was curl
Gus. Home liked claret and disliked
port, calling it poison. and the two
friends had many discussions on the
subject. They also used to have dis
putes as to which of them took the
proper way of spelling their common
family name. The philosopher, about
a fortnight before his death, wrote
with his own hand the following cod
icil to his Will: 81 leave to my friend,

MARK TWAIN STORY.

New York, Dec. THE North
American Review of today contains
the funniest story that Mark Twain
has yet put into his autobiography. -
1t happened when Cleveland was pres
ident and Mr.. Clemens was invited to
an authors reception at the White
House. Now Mr.. Clemens, according
to his own story, is always and ire
claimably needless, and so, as a re-
minder, his wife put in his pocket
when he left Hartford little warning
which he was to read at the time of
dressing. To continue in Mr.. Clem-
ems own words:

House and | was shaking hands with

thing, but interrupted him and said:

INTEREST OF PEOPLE.
A Bureau to BE Established to As
sist Good Laws.

The Peoples Lobby, which has
been organized to operate at Wash
ington to further the passage of
good laws in the interest of the
whole people, has been definitely de-
termined upon with regard to per-
sonnet and plans, and is ready to be-
gin operations with the conyening Of
congress. Writing of the movement
in Success Magazine, which has been
furthering the project, Samuel Mer-
win says:
There can be no excuse for any
sort of secrecy in the work of the
bureau. II Is based on the belief that
there is no reason why any detail OF
the legislative work of this repub-
lie should be kept hidden. 1t as
sumes that evasion of the light is an
unhealthy symptom. And, animated
by this spirit. it can do no less than
keep all its own records open. al,

paper, any citizen, or body of citi-
zens.

facts, not of opinions. In so far as
they will go to fix the full personal
responsibility of senators and, repre-
sentatives for the work of congress
and its committees, the reports will
be based wholly on their public acts.
