EXHIBIT READY
FOR JAMESTOWN
Secretary Clum Gives Out
Details of City'S
Plans.
Display Section Arranged
for the Things That Are
- Represent Capital
Reception Room, Maintained
by Business Men, to Be
a Feature.

The details of the Washington ex-
hibit at the Jamestown Exposition have
now been practically completed. Secre-
tary Clum, of the joint committee of
fifteen appointed by the three business
organizations for the arrangement OF
the exhibit. says that the platform on
the space reserved for Washington in
the Manufactures and Liberal Arts
building has been built and that the
booth construction inclOsing the entire
exhibit is almost ready TO ship 70 the
exposition grounds. The work is being
done by Thomas W Smith and the deco
ratiOns for it are being prepared by w.
B. Moses & Sons, Inc.
Washington Exhibitors.
All indications are that on the opening
day. April %, Washington exhibitors viii
be ready 10 welcome visitors. Those

ton are: National Electric Supply Com

drews Paper Company, F. G. Smith
Piano Company, Thomas w. Smith,
Maurice Joyce Engraving Company,
American Lock Tile Company, and the
Scientific American.
A reception room OF generous dimen-
siOns has been reserved by the COM
mittee for the convenience of visitors
from Washington and elsewhere. This
is 70 be Handsomely furnished in mission
style, with comfortable chairs. divans,
writing desks, tables, and other articles
calculated 10 add comfort 10 those visit
ing the Washington exhibit Files Of
the four Washington newspapers also
have been provided. A colOred porter
in uniform Will be IN constant attend
ance and a young lady Is to have gen
eral supervision Of the room.
Business Men Pay Bills.
The expense Of this room and the cost
Of its maintenance is being betrayed by
business men who are not represented
in the exhibit. In order to give these
gentlemen credit for their assistance, the
committee has arranged TO place at their
disposal the space on the tables in the
reception room which may be used for
the display ana distribution Of their ad-
vertising literature.
All OF the space in the washington
section was disposed Of more than a
month ago, but since then there have
been a number of applications for ad-
mission. Secretary Clum says that had
these applications been received when
the committee first made its appeal to
local business men 10 see 10 II that
Washington was properly represented at

been twice as large as 1t now is, when

But when Secretary Cortelyou came in
ne changed this. He wanted to zee the
mail, and he decided TO sign it. Now
there IS no announcement Of an "acting
secretary for today" and the Secretary
frequently works tin midnight going
through the accumulation Of the days
signature documents. 1t is simply a
Continuance of his method at the Post
office Department. where a promotion to
the personal stan OF the Postmaster
General was dreaded because il meant
working days, nights, Sundays, and holt
days the year through.
Secretary Corteiyou is proceeding
quietly to make over traditions at the
Treasury. There is much gossip about
the probable changes Ia the staff Of as
sistant secretaries.
Edwards to Retire.
Messrs. Edwards. slater, and Rey-
nolds were left over from The Shaw adj
ministration. and II Is thought now 70
be pretty wei settled that Mr.. Edwards
will be the first 10 retire. There has
been a general acquiescence T. the idea

Cortelyou Changes 1t.

The Treasury Department produced
per diem a number OF documents requir-
ing signature. so great that statistics
on the subject would be as unmeaning
as calculations on the fortune OF the
Rockefeller family in the year $500 OF
computations Of the number Of microbes
IN the Missouri river.
Somebody must sign these documents.
and so the solemn function Of signing
names has been divided Up among

their names IS their most serious bust

Himself.

For so many years that the memory
Of the Oldest employe runneth not to
the contrary. the bells in all rooms in
the Treasury Department have rung
promptly at 8 O'Clock eacn morning.
and immediately thereafter the messen-
gers throughout the big establishment
would appear at the doors Of the rooms
and IN stentorian. Senegambian tones
announce;
Mr.. Jones-Brown is acting secretary
today"
or. under the present regime, they
would say that Mr.. Reynolds. Mr.. Stat
ter, or Mr.. Edwards lis assistant secre-
tary today" Only they don't say It
now.
Because there isn't any acting secre-
tary now as there was under the old
regime. Secretary Cortelyou signs the
mail himself. The assistant secretaries
pass on much OF it before it reaches him
and put their initials on It; but the sig
nature Is that Of the Secretary himself.
The announcement that Mr.. Jones'
Brown was to be acting secretary f0-
the day meant that the signature OF
Jones Brown would, for that day. have
the same weight and authority as that
Of the Secretary, and would be obeycd
ana respected accordingly.

DOUBT CANNOT EXIST

such evidence? Read here the en-
dorsement of a representative citizen
of Augusta.

Doan's Kidney Pills have been the means
of proonging my life and lifting me from
a physical wreck to good sound health.
In the fall of 1896 l gave statement of
my case for publication. At that time l
had been suffering from kidney complaint
in severe form for eight years. My
back was weak and 1 was subject to
twiuges of pain and could not get on my
feet frcm lying down without gradually
working myself up sideways. At night I
rolled and tossed about unable to sleep
and felt as though lying on a bed of
rocks. l was often compelled to quit
work for day or two and sometimes a
week or two. 1 used many remedies
without much benefit and finally got

ROYAL EXLES
Welded at English Home
Of Duke Of Orleans.
Prince Charles Of Bourbon and
Princess Louise Of Orleans.
King Alfonso Present and Scores
Of High Personages.

London, Nov. 17-Wood Norton, the
English home of the Duke of Orleans,
which originally was nothing but a
hunting bog. but in recent years was
transformed into castle, where the pre-
tender to the throne of France holds
court, Saturday welcomed diStln-
Suisned company at the wedding OF
Prince Charles of Bourbon and Princess
Louise of Orleans. True, there was but
one recognized King present, but more
than half the guests were related to the
royal houses Of Europe.
The religious ceremony to which this
company had been invited took place
in an improvised chapel built of CAL
vas, but 50 cleverly painted that it
could hardly be distinguished from the
gray stone house which it adjOined. The
interior OF the chapel likewise had every
appearance of a permanent structure
and might easily be mistaken for one
of the old Catholic churches which
abound in southern Europe. The CELL
ing was painted sky blue with stars set
therein, and the walls We're drnped with
rich velvet, while from imitation rafters
hung the banners and flags of France
and the house of Bourbon. The altar
was Of white marble and was decor
ated with white carnations and lilies,
the family emblem.
The chapel was connected with the
castle by an arched walk over which
the bridal procession passed. the Duke
Of Orleans leading with the bride and
meeting at the altar the bridegroom
who was attended by King Alfonso Of
Spain.
The score of other royal personages
who were in attendance included the
Queens of Spain and Portugal, Prin-
cess Henry of Battenburg and Grand
Duke Vladimir. They We're followed by
| members of the diplomatic corps, in
Guiding the American ambassador,
Whitclaw Reid and Mrs. Reid.
There was a wonderful display of
gorgeous costumes and jewels and the
uniforms of the various officials pres
ent were as diverse as they were bril-
liant Ambassador Reid and the Swiss
minister were the only guests present
who wore plain black evening dress
without decorations.
The service was that of the Roman
Catholic church, with choral accom-
paniment by an orchestra and soioists
| from the Paris opera.
During the afternoon the Duke of
| Orleans received the French journalists
| in kingly fashi On. speaking a few words
| to each of them, and then becoming a
plain country gentleman again, jump
ing into his motor car, which he him
self drove to the station with King
| Alfonso as a passenger.
