ThejGovernment Inspector Will Arrive ere To-Day to Inspect Rural Free Delivery Routes. ^Applications Have Been Favorably Recommended by Mr. Morris, Hence the Inspection. Postmaster Cordiner was notified last^Tuesday that Inspector Gutterson, of I^ake Crystal, would \isit Princeton to-day for the purpose of driving over the proposed routes laid out in the applications for rural free delivery sent to the department some time ago. Both the Greenbu^h and the Wyanett routes have been recommended by Congressman Morris and now all de pends on the report of Mr. Gutterson as tp the advisability of extending this privilege to the territory described in the ^applications. Several new routes have been added to the system in the southern part of the*State this season, and as this is the first village in the northern por tion to apply for routes it is quite provable that one and perhaps both wil| be established. Ejpstmaster Cordiner has been re quested to accompany the inspector and* as he is thoroughly in favor of the proposed improvement in mail service occasion to fear neg Here's hoping we getjem both. there need be no lec& on his part. 4 MANY Attorney at Law.

The authorities who had charge of the Baldwin small pox case last May are indignant at the charges made by the State board, of health that they were negligent and that the recent cases in Livonia came from that case. A quarantine was established and en forced during the time young Jennison was ill and at the close the house wa9 disinfected as provided by law. One of the Jennison girls came home from Hastings afterwards and three days after her arrival was taken sick No physician was called and no one knew of the case until the present scare. The Baldwin authorities have had a physician examine the youna- &8!&SS&886BSS^^ lady re- cently and there is nothing to show positively that she was afflicted with small pox. Those who are conversant with the facts say that the recent case came from the down-river infection. Miss Pearl Bassett, of Blue Hill, was pleasantly surprised last week by twenty-two of her young friends. She left Thursday for Cambridge to visit Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Sutherland for a few days before returning to school in Minneapolis. p^i:^^^:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^:^g:^:^^^^^ i^^:^^^^^^^^Kg:^^^^^^^ EUROPEAN SIGHTS. A Letter from the Old World BY THEs=-^ UNION'S SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. PARIS, France, Aug. 1 1900 Paris, aside from the exposition, is a city of great and peculiar interest and beauty, and with this adjunct is little more, to one at least who saw our own World's Fair of seven years ago It is indeed surprising to note the indifference of the French people to the exhibition and with tickets selling everywhere upon the streets for 30 centimes (6 cents) or less, one would at least ex pect to find the grounds thronged. It is predicted that the crowds are et to come and this is probably true,in deed there has been a perceptible in crease in the numbers of visitors, even during our short sojourn Of course it '"doesn't compare" with the fair at Chicago but I fear that we Americans are prone to assert this with more of an air of superiority than the facts of the case will warrant. For myself, I felt, to present it very lightly, a twinge of regret to find the United States so overshadowed by such coun tries as Spain and Italy in the size and beauty of its representative building. This is supposed to be a miniature re production of the capitol at Washing ton but, with the possible exception of the dome, bears little resemblance to that structure. But three states, viz. Massachusetts, New York and Califor nia have furnished rooms in the build ing and the books for registration in these rooms are filled with names of visitors from every State in the Union. There is this to be said, however, for tbe building" It is a quiet little rest ing place, and the restaurant con nected with it we found the only ice cream soda, worthy of the name, we have had since leaving home. The Italian building, representing a Veuetian palace, is really very beau tiful and contains "much of the art of modern Italy. It is closed this week on account of the tragic death of King Humbert and the Italian exhibit in the Liberal Arts is covered and draped in black This sad event is deeply de plored by all classes and the attack Upon the Shah of Persia now visiting here has added greatly to the popular indignation We passed this distinguished in dividual upon the street the other day He was driving with two companions in a very unpretentious style and would have passed unnoticed only that one of the party who had seen him previously pointed him out. We were on our way to the exposition grounds at the time to hear Guilmand in an or gan recital at the Salle des Fetes of the Trocadero. This hall contains one of the finest organs in tne world and to hear it manipulated by Guilmand was a never-to-be-forgotten treat We braved the ram on Sundaj to hear him in the church which claims him as its organist, church of the Holy Trinity. The Trocadero is one of the perma nent buildings of the exposition hav ing been constructed for the fair of 1S78. It is a fine structure with towers two hundred and seventy feet in height, and open corridors extend ing along its entire crescent-shaped facade. Rows upon rows of gas jets adorn the building from ground floor to tower-summits and the effects of these seen through the spray of num berless cascades and fountains upon one of the nights of illumination, is simply entrancing. Indeed, the beauty of the entire avenue from the Trocadero to the electrical palace at such a time beg gars description. The Eiffel tower, a blaze of jets to the very tip of its alti tude of nearly one thousand feet, forms the central figure while away at the opposite end the electrical palace showing an immense altar at the front surrounded by a mammoth star in the center of which is the figure of an angel, gleams in constantly changing colors through the crystal showers of the Chateau d' Eau. The illumination takes place twice each week and is one of the most pleasing features of the exposition. Others of the permanent buildings are the two palaces of art and these are well said to far surpass anything of the kind at our World's Fair. The Grande Palais is of a creamy granite with an entire roof of glass and the light upon the sculpture and paintings is superb. St. Gaudens' statue of Sher man, considered one of the finest pieces there, occupies a prominent place and aS around it all Americans linger long est St Gaudens, by the way, is tbe only American enjoying the distinc tion of a representation in the Luxem burg The original of his Amor-Car ltas is there and there is a copy at the Palace of Arts, also many of his famous medallion portraits. The fin est works of modern art are collected here and the work of the Impression ists' school is well represented but this with its seemingly impossible tints and shades must be studied to be ap preciated There are thirty-six entrances to the grounds and the principal one, La Porte Monumentale, opens from the Place de la Concord This is certainly unique and exceedingly showy but can hardlv, laj claim to artistic meat. The architect boasts that he has copied from nothing ever befote con structed and no one doubts his word for it bears no likeness to anything in the heavens above or the earth below and therefore, as one of our party laughingly remarked, "there could be no possible harm in worshiping it if one were so disposed." It is an arch or, lather, a series of arches extending in different direc tions, decorated with paintings and mossaics in pinks, blues etc the whole surmounted by a colossal figure of an "up-to-date' Parisian ladv, in a colored, worth gown. Multitudes of electwc jets are found here as else where and the eftect at night is bril liant, to say the least Once inside this portal, the grounds are very pleasing, groups of statjary, fountains and shade-trees everywhere, and the ingenuity displaced bv the French people in so disposing their buildings in the small space afforded so that it really does-not seem crowded, is trulj wonderful. The grounds he along both banks of the Seine, connected bv several bridges of which the Pont Alexander III is of course the most imposing The cor ner-stone of this bridge, commemor ating the name of his illustrious father was laid by the present czar of Russia ana it is a magnificent structure of which Parisians are justly proud On one side of the river, Old PAris is represented in a series of quaint dwellings, an ancient church, etc and the attendants are clad in the dress of the 14th century Nearby are the horticultural buildings, social econ omics and others and on the opposite side of the river are situated the for eign buildings Of these we partic ular^ enjoved the Swedish and Nor wegian. In this former the interior of a dwelling is shown with women in attendance dressed in the national costume, and there are also two pano ramas representing in a very realistic manner a summer night in Stockholm and a winter night in the north Norway's building contains the Nan sen relics: his kayak and sledge, snow shoes, two of his dogs, stuffed, and the food, canned fruits, meats, etc., left from the expedition. There is also a bust of the explorer and a model of the Fram A harem is shown in the Turkish building with figures standing, sitting or reclining in life-like postures, the room furnished in all the rich trap pings of an Oriental home. We were detained here by a heavy shower and, although somewhat annoying it was yet fun to evade the venders of the in numerable articles for sale. The mo ment our eyes alighted upon the col lection, some article would be taken up and thrust upon us with an an nouncement of the price. A negative shake of the head upon our part would be instantly met by the swarthy sales man with the question: "How much, how much you give?" And as we walked away the shout would follow us increasing in vehemetice: "Lady, lady, how much, how much you give?" until we mingled with the crowd and were lost to view. A walk through the cafes beneath these buildings was interesting as showing the customs of the different countries in their eating and drinking and to us it served somewhat as a re view of our summer's experiences in this line. In the Palais de l'Espagne we caught a peep at a Spanish maiden dancing the fandango. The Swiss village is one of the finest features of the exposition.
