an event of far-reaching interest te
Ireland, as 1t is designed to revive
the dropping interests of the country
and at the same time present q pic

has been raised and an exposition
e~clipsing anything previously attempt.
ed in Ireland is assured.
The opposition manifested by the us.
tionalists has somewhat abated and
the show promises to be successful.
Comparatively few foreign nations
have become interested in the ent 4r.

fine exhibits.
The site is convenient to the fine
grounds of the Royal Dublin society at

embraces contain numerous buildings
of great beauty and extent. The, most
imposing of these is the large central
hall, with its vast dome $50 feet in

be discerned from a steamer many

fully wooded grounds, which but a
short time ago were a great open
space, have been completely trans
formed and today they are for rhe
greater part covered by substantial
looking structures, some of which
have an area of 100000 square feet.

Kansas City, Mo.-Fire in the
wholesale district, that for a time

at 5000, 000.
A panic was started at the Orpheum
theater, a vaudeville house a block and
a half distant, and several hundred Of
the 1900 persons in the audience
made a wild rush for exits. Fifteen
were hurt before quiet was secured.
The scene of the fire was in the
heart of the wholesale district and
within two blocks of the Coates house,
one of the leading hostelries.
The fire started shortly after 10
o'clock and practically all of the
fire-ighting apparatus in the city was
sent to the scene.
Some of the theaters were Just let
ting out, and thousands of persons
were O on gathered about the burning
building. They served to hinder the
work of the firemen and added to the
excitement.
A cry of fire made by people rush
ing by the Orpheum, where the per-
Torrance was still going ON, caused
a panic among the audience there.
The manager of the theater made a
fruitless effort to quiet the people,
who soon yer rushing pell nell for
the exits. Many on the main floor
quickly reached the street without
causing injury to anyone.
In the balcony and the gallery, how
ever, 800 persons were soon blocked
by a congestion on the narrow stair
ways and women trampled upon one
another in their mad haste to get out.
Several women tainted.
In the midst of the turmoil, Cliff
Gordon, the monologist, appeared at
the front of the stage. First he called
loudly to the excited people to keep
their seats, assuring them there was
no danger, and then went through his
act, adding a piece of impromptu wit
here and there. Soon he had the au-
dience Gained and the performance
continued.
About fifteen persons received slight
cuts and bruises. None are believed
to have been seriously hurt.

New York city is making an expert
ment in the disposition of refuse. Most
of this is always paper, which is un-
slightly, and when loaded on the street
collecting carts, easily blows away to
litter other streets. The garbage
gathering cans are moved about ON a
pair OF wheels to which is attached
an iron rack or frame for holding
the can. The experiment consists in
putting two sheet-iron cans together,
one inverted above the other. The
lower one contains a CRATE and per
forations for draft; the upper one a
door for the receipt of the refuse.
A constant fire is maintained in this
furnace, as it is wheeled about, and
the refuse is consumed as it is thrown
