have now reached the principal brick
buildings, with the Main Exhibition
Hall directly in front. Here an avenue

splendid brick 70x160 feet; the horse
stables, to accommodate 300 animals,

oak nearly opposite, in which is the
magnificent band pavilion facing to
the east. On north and to the left are
nine long white barns. each 30x24 feet,
five being devoted to cattle, two to
sheep, and two to swine. The last two
have concrete floors. At the end of this
street are four more stables for speed
horses, back Of which is a fine stretch
OF forest. Passing back south over the
same course is the Poultry Building.

The all-night bank is by no means
the ultimate extension of the all-night
idea in a city like Chicago. AS popu.
lation increases the number of night
workers (already far greater than
most people realize) will continue to
increase until finally most lines of hu.
man activity will have all-night rep
resentatives. New York city, indeed,
has almost reached that stage. 1t
would be hard to name any article of
ordinary use that cannot be purchased
on Manhattan island during any hour
of the "a. We shall have the same
condition in Chicago, before very long,
declares the Chicago Chronicle. The
all-night bank is a milestone on the
road of progress-if it be progress.

The Black Man.

In an address before the Negro
Young Peoples Christian and Edito-
rial congress in Washington, Secre-
tary of the Navy Bonaparte pursued
a suggestive line of thought. He
pointed to the fact, established by
comprehensive experience, that the
black race is the only one which has
been able to live with white people.
Indians, Australians and Polynesians
have died off and disappeared before
the advance of the white race, but the
negroes have not only remained, but
have increased and multiplied. From
this condition the secretary drew the
conclusion that the black men have a
destiny to work out, and must COM
pete with the white men in the effort
OF gain a livelihood. There is no
room in America for people who
can't take care of themselves" said
the secretary; and again: You can't
in this country rest and be thankful,
for if you try to do this you will soon
have nothing to be thankful for. The
idle and sensual and benighted are
never really free, and America now
is a country only for freemen." That
is sound practical sense and true
patriotism, says the Troy Times. And
come to think of it, the advice is as
applicable to white as to colored men.

A woman believed to be the oldest
in the United States, If not in the
world, has just died at Laporte, Ind.
She was Mrs. Ferdinand Reese, wife
of an American but native of Po-
land, where she was born, according
to authentic records, 112 years ago.
She was a girl of IS when Napoleon
invaded Russia, and had vivid rec.

life included period of development

known.

A visit to the grounds on which will
be held the Michigan State Fair Of
1906 and an inspection of the many
new buildings recently erected for ex-
hibition purposes impresses one with
the marvellous progress of the Michi-
gan State Agricultural Society, which
had its origin in the pioneer days of
the commonwealth. The more than a
half century that has elapsed since the
formation of the society at Lansing in
1S49, has marked great transition in
agriculture and allied pursuits during
which period Michigan has grown from
a comparatively wild and unsettled
domain to a state of 100000 people.
The State Agricultural Society has
kept pace with the progress of the
state, each succeeding exhibition show
ing a marked advancement, each bet
ter than the one previous.
Earlier Days.
In the earlier years it was the GUS
tom of the society to locate the yearly
fair in a city, somewhat remote from
where the fair was held the year prev
ious, believing that in this way alone

Care Of the Piano.

A piano when new should be tuned
once month; the longer an instru-

pitch becomes; It is a commonH error
to think piano should remain In tune
at least a year.

Root as that Yankee intruder" in the

Not an intruder, says the Boston

James Monroe, and in that capacity

.GUESSES ABOUT COTTON
CROP WIDELY DIFFER
Southerners Estimate I2,2oo,ooO Bales;
Cotton Exchange Members H.
457,OOO Bales.

NEW YORK. Dec. There was
never cotton crop in the history Of
cotton growing in the United States
about the size Of which there is more
difference of opinion at the end of No
vember than there is about the pres
tnt crop.
There are many reasons why this
should be the case. To begin with the
Government got out a report on the
acreage that has ever since been a
bone Of contention in the market; most
cotton men claimed that the Govern
ment has much underestimated -he
acreage and this belief Is even stronger
at the close of the season than at the
beginning The Government acreage
has. nevertheless. naturally furnished
basis Of argument for those who
wished TO make a point by proving a
small crop.
There are few OF the best t-pnsted
cotton men in the world today who have
very much confidence in their own opin-
ions as u the size of the crop, but
the general opinion expressed by a
number Of the leading cotton men of
the South would indicate an estimate
aEEregaJiuE u 200 O10 bales These eSti-
mates have been taken by States ana
"a compilation brings the total as stated

opinion of the members Of the New York
Cotton Exchange is that the crop viii
be 12i5G0J bales. This is the average
Of the estimates OF 16l members of the
exchange. For number of years he
crop estimates of the members have
been compiled by Sicdenburg & Co.
and the season round II Is posted upOn
the floor of the exchange, in order that
the men who the movement proves to
have had the right idea can call their
friends attention 10 the correctness of
their ideas during the latter part of the
season.
