says of the Appalachian Exposition,
which is to be the notable event of the
present year in Knoxville, Tenn, from
Sept IL to Oct. II:
"The Appalachian Exposition is of
the triumphant class. Situo cd so ia

people of this whole country. This

assures success. Beyond all this the
Southern Railway and its associated
lines and connections, which means
practically all the railroads in this
country. are going to pat on excursion
tickets for this Exposition at such low
rates, and operate such attractive serv
| ice, as to make everybody ashamed

within a radius Of fifty miles o.
| Knoxville there are nearly 100000

nearly 100000 and within radius o
two hundred miles about 6,OOO,00t
people. Knoxville thus possesses al
ideal location as a center Of attraC

urally the greatest number of peopl
in attendance upon any exposition ar
drawn from the near territory. Ant

Mark Twain" IS a linesman cry to
the pilot In shallow stages.
In 1872 he had married Miss Olivia
L. Langdon, Of Elmira, N. Y, who
brought him an independent fortune.
AT that time his writings were in grow
ing demand, he had an assured income,
his own home and seemed fixture.
But in 1885 his popularity as an author
and his acquaintance with the me-
chanics of the publishing trade-be-
sides being practical printer, he had
been part owner Of the Buffalo Elk
press before his marriage-drew him
into the firm of G. L. Webster & Co.,
publishers. 4.e. 49,, s...s
The firm brought out the memoirs
of Gen. Grant and paid his widow $780,
900, but it's prosperity was short lived,
and it failed with liabilities of $4,000.
Failure Takes Twain's Cash.
The failure had already sucked in
$65,000 of Mark Twain's. cash, but he
determined also to shoulder the debts
and to pay them off, undertook in
1856 a lecture trip around the world.
-Four children were born to Mark
Twain, of whom two, a son and a
daughter, died early. One other daugh-
ter, Jean, who had been an invalid for
life, was found dead in her bathtub last
fall in her home at Redding, Conn.
Her tragic death greatly saddened her
father who declined in health from
that moment. A third daughter, Clara,

pianist, whom she married last year.
