THE FIRST WORLDS FAIR
EVER HELD IN THE
OLD WORLD

Seattle. Wash, July i.-While the
exposition days when one sees, hears
and thinks little else save exposition.
this short story of All old world eN-
position and the remarkable man
who made it will not be uninterest-
ing.
Returning to his native land after
an absence of years, Many Salih, Or
iental commissioner for the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition and mana
ger of the Streets of Cairo and also
the Spanish theater on the Pay
Streak, gained the distinction of fos-
tering and producing the first world 5
fair held in the eventful history of
Asiatic Turkey.
Saith was the head man in the or
iental exhibits section of the Column
bian exposition at Chicago. and when
he returned to his native land he Sc
lected the city of his birth-Shwier,
in Syria-as the site of the Turkish
fair which attracted the attention of
the whole world.
1t was called the Babylonian expo
sition, and so successful was it that
every year since then IL has been re-
peated, each time on larger and
more picturesque scale, until now 1t
has come to be governmental insti-
tuition. and. at the close of the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Mr.. Sa-
lin will go there to take permanent
charge of it.
1t was such an exposition as the
occident never has seen and never can
see. Persia sent her rugs; India her
worries and precious stones; Egypt a
collection of antiques never before

TERRIBLE PLIGHT
OF A BALL PLAYER

Hartford. Conn. July after
playing a strenuous game of baseball
lasting nearly three hours yesterday
afternoon. Joseph Cormier. of Som
erville. ate several large dishes of ice
cream in store. took a couple of
cold drinks and then helped the ice
cream man repack ice, TO cool his
hands and forearms.
On his way home Cormier was
stricken deaf. dumb and blind. and
the physicians attending him find
that he is paralyzed He lay in state
of coma all day. and in despair the
doctors took him to the siXteen-ton
ice refrigerator, where he was pack
ed in ice in the hope of curing him
by means of the apparent cause OF
his misfortune. He shows slight i'm
provement, has partially regained his
sight and is able to gesticulate for
things he wishes done. The ply
sicians believe that If he RECEIVERS he
will always be paralyzed.

WILL LET PREACHER
RUN TOWN ONE NIGHT

Mason City. la, July A. Mason
City is to be policed for one night by
the pastor OF the Methodist Episco-
pal church. pr w. W Carlton He
will have the assistance of the pres
ent police force, and for this one
night will obey his instructions TO the
letter.
Mayor kirschman has promised
that he would prosecute any and all
cases brought before him by the
preacher policeman.
Some time ago when Mayor Kirsch-
man was elected to the position it is
reported that he rendered the posi-
lion of chief of police to Or. Carlton.
The doctor considered the PROPOSE
ton for some time and then refused.
A good many are not now just pleas
ed with the general tone of the city
at night time. and the preacher has
been asked TO step into the breach
and see what he can unearth.
DR.. Carlton has made a study of
municipal government and has some
ideas that he has been suggesting
from time TO time i'm the pulpit, and
the mayor wants to give him an op-
portunity TO work them out.

HE HELD HIS BREATH
ISnecial to The Sentinel1

Especial to The Sentinel.
Greeley. Colo, July 4.-Holding
his breath until cold water could
be dashed into his face and his I'M
usual courage probably saved W. II.
Edwards. manager of the Greeley ice
plant, yesterday from death by aspliy-
Nation. He was fixing a valve ON an
ammonia pipe when the valve slip
ped, throwing the liquid into his face.
Workmen attempted to go to his
assistance, but were driven away by
the ammonia fumes. Blinded and
choking. Edwards jumped into his
automobile and hurried to a ply
stefan. His tongue, throat and eyes

HE MAKES A STATEMENT.


Grand junction, Colo. June 20.
Mr.. Hall Harrison, general agent
for Colorado, who is assisting MIR. +.
\. Hornbeck, land commissioner of
the Kansas City Mexico 4 Orient
railroad, in the sale of Pecos valley
land, has recently made a statement
in our office in regard to everyone
who has ever considered the lower
Pecos valley either from standpoint
OF an investor, or with the idea of
going there to live.
Mr. Harrison said i'm part that up
to short time ago, he had always
been able to say that of the many
men from Colorado whom he had
taken down to the Pecos valley. only
one man had returned without in
yesting in the land. Recently he
sold Mr.. II. II. Dresser, of Montrose.
Colorado, forty acres. and this sale
now enables him to say that up to the
present time every Colorado man
that has gone down into Texas with
him has purchased land in the Pecos
valley, Mr.. Dresser being the one
man who had previously returned
without buying.
1t is only fair to say that when Mr..
Dresser went to Texas, he intended
SOlHS south as 1af as the CITY of
| Mexico. and went through the Pecos
valley simply because he found il
convenient to do so. After returning,
he expressed himself as being much
| impressed with some of the land he
saw in Southern Mexico. lie did not
purchase any down there. and when
MIR. Harrison was in Montrose recent
ly, MIR. Dresser bought forty acres
of land adjoining that which the men
from Colorado had bought.
| We think this statement from Mr.
| Harrison of having sold every mar
| whom he has taken down from this
state into the lower Pecos valley will
be read with "A great deal of interest
by many people in this locality, mad
certainly it is wonderful record.
