The Washington member* of the national
board of promotion of the Three America* ex
position held a meeting at Willard hall laat
Bight to complete arrangement* for the con
tention of the national board on Wednesday
next. The only hu*ine*a for the meeting wa*
fc> appoint committee* to receive the visiting
Qiembers of the board and to care for their en
tWtainment while here. A large assemblage
of leading oitisens who are member* of the na
tional board took part in the meeting and there
was no lack of confidence and enthusiasm. The
*0llt of Chicago and New York for the exposi
tion is regarded by the nationalist*?those who
rt the exposition to be a national affair, held
the national capital?a* rather favorable
IDian otherwise to the succea* of the enterprise.
They have no donbt about the exposition being
held here and think that the activity of the
Tival cities, robbed of its selfish feature*, will
assist in spurring Congress to action. For this
reason the members of the national board of
Sromotion are paying very little attention to
le efforts of the rival cities. Their attention
la directed entirely to the routine business
preparation to present the proposition in the
proper form to Congress.
ZXCOUBAOIXO WOBDS FROM commissioner DOUG- |
LASS.
The meeting was called to order last night
l>y Commissioner Douglass, who said that
nothing had occurred since the last meeting of
?he board that whs not in everv way encour
aging. The project had steadily gone forward
and there was every reason for * them to con
gratulate themselves. He then called upon
Secretary Anderson to state the object of the
meeting and to make any report he thought
proper of the progress of the work.
SECEETABT AXbEHtiOX EEPOBTS PBOOBE98.
Mr. Anderson stated the only work to be
done was to appoint two committees to pre- !
pare for the meeting of the national board on
Wednesday next?a committee on reception
and a committee on banquet. The convention
he said, would meet at Willard hall at 12 I
o clock on W ednesday, and at 8 o'clock Wed
De evenln8 local members of the board
would give a banquet to the visiting members.
The convention, he said, would be largely at
tended, probably a hundred members being
present. L p to date the representatives
of 23 states had announced their intention to be
present and there would be
HOT LESS THAN TBIKTI STATES BEPBESEXTED.
Among the delegates would be members from
New York and Chicago, who were earnestly in
favor of making the celebration national, at the
national capital. He read letter* from promi
nent men east and west who were earnest ad
vocates for Washington, and said that commu
nications from the members of the national
board in nearly all the states and from govern
or, mayors and chairmen of boards of trade in
all parts of the country showed the active in
terest they were taking in the celebration at
the national capital. He had just returned
from New England, and he was satisfied that
that section of the country was almost unani- I
mously in favor of the national capital. Let- 1
Jar* from the south and west showed the same
favorable state of feeling there. In Boston, he
Mia, he found the people practically unani
mous for Washington. He thought the active
rivalry of Chicago and New York was doing no I
if 55?* . w,or,k 10 k? done by the convention
?the national board was. he said, to decide
ig>on the form of a bill to be presented to Con
gress and the presentation of the plan- to ap

COMMITTEES.
A motion wa* then made to the meeting to
appoint a committee of fifty or more, at the
discretion of the chairman, to receive the mem
bars of the national board. The resolution
?was adopted and the committee will be ap
pointed by the chairman of the meeting. Com
missioner Douglass. '
The following committee on banquet was
then appointed by the meeting: M. M. Parker,
? ^""Johnson. W. D. Anderson. O. O.
Staples. Thomas E. Waggaman, Hallet Kiibourn
and Commissioner Hine.
Mr. M. L W'eller asked if the convention was
to last more than one day, and suggested that,
if so, a subcommittee of the committee on re
ception should be appointed to attend to the
entertainment of the visiting members This
?uggestion was approved and a subcommittee
? j ? was dec,ded upon. It was then sug
gested that some of the rnonev for the expense

WHY THE celebbatiox SHOULD BE HELD HEBE.
Mr. Hallet Kiibourn and Prof. King made
brief speeches. Mr. Kiibourn particularly
pointed out some of the strong reasons for the
1WB be.ln? held at the national
capital. Chicago and New York were great
metropolises of America, to be sure, but so

The Boys Whooped 'Em Up.
The Pan-Colnmbiana were received at Ann
Arbor, Mich., with a rousing ovation from the
student population. Along each aide of the
roadway as they alighted from the cars waa a
line of heaity, lusty and splendid-faced
studenta. Away ahead atretched a lane thua
formed, through which the carriagea alowly
passed, eaeh class meantime ahouting its
various cries, with waving hata, hands and
canes. The carriagea halting, the students,
every one with bared bead, ranged in linea
each side as an escort, and thus proceeded to
march to the university. The southern dele
8*tes read with smiles and approving remarka
these superscriptions upon banners carried by
students:
National isolation is commercial isolation."
'United in continent, united in commerce."
Alighting from their carriages the guests en
tered the university auditorium and were es
corted to seats on the stage. Dr. AngeU sat in
the center of the front row. The right side of
the hall was filled with pretty girl students. As
the last student was seated an impulsive dele
B'age waved a small American flag,
and this was the signal for a deafening volley of
? if??!! . ch wa8 repeated again and again,
w*)''e hats were placed on canes and waved
wildly m the air. The college chorus finally
prevailed over the tumult by singing a few
songs, and President Angell, stepping forward,
welcomed the delegates to the congress.
He hoped that their visit would conduce
to strengthen the commercial relations
between their countries and the United
States, and also to strengthen those
ties of intellectual brotherhood which stood
above commercial relations and which, thank
Ood, were divided by no national barriers. At
the conclusion of his speech Senor Zegarra, the
minister and delegate from Peru, and a gradu
ate of a United States university, addressed the
audience. Song closed the exercises and the
delegates and attaches were entertained at din
ner at the residence of President Angell. A
touf the uuiTersity buildings and a reception
ended the day's proceedings, and at 10 o'clock
the excursion party waa apeeding on ita way to
Grand Rapids.
How Elder Down Is Obtained.
L. B. Fletcher in Home Journal.
The wonderfully soft and warm substance
which we call eider down is produoed by the
eider duck, an inhabitant of the Arctic ocean.
It is proper to call these birds inhabitants of
the ocean, for they paas the greater part of
their lives far oat at sea, only coming to land
| for a little while in spring for the purpose of
I laving and hatching their eggs.
They are very awkward on land, but are won
derful swimmers and divers, descending 13
fathoms below the surface of the water and re
maining submerged as long as five minutes at
a time. Their food consists principally of
moiluaks, which they pick up from the bed of
the sea.
Their favorite laying places are certain small
low islands off the coast of Norwav, which are
callcd "eider-holms." The birds visit these
islands in pairs, which present a striking contrast
in appearance, the drakes being brilliantly col
ored in black, white and green, while the
females are of a dull reddish brown, matching
the color of the scanty vegetation so perfectly
that even a practiced hunter can hardly dis
cover them when they crouch down among the
reeds. ?
On coming ashore the duck proceeds very
deliberately to chooso a place for a nest, while
the drake follows and occasionally gives warn
ing of real or fancid danger. The duck is very
hard to suit, and it is not an nnusal thing for
her, after examining all likely spots out of
doors, to march bodiy into a house and cooly
select what she considers a suitable place for
her nest, such as the oven if it happens to be
unused at the time. The human inmates of
the house welcome her gladly, supply with her
food, and cheerfully submit to any small in
conveniences like the temporary loss of their
oven, for they know that their guest will pay
a good price for her board and lodging. When
the duck has selected a place she gathers grass
and sticks and builds her nest. Then she
plucks the soft downfromher breaatandmakea
a wonderful mat, which not only covera the
bottom of the nest but rises so far above the
edge that it can be folded over the egga when
the duck leaves the nest in search of food
When the six or eight eggs are laid they are
seized, together with the valuable eider down
mat, by the people of the house, and the duck
goes off in aorrow to her mate, who awaits her
on the shore, as his courage never rises to such
a pitch as to lead him into the house.
The duck, somewhat wiser than before, pro
ceeds to build another nest out of doors, and,
as her own down feathera are exhausted, she
calmly plucks the drake's breast as bare as
her own. After this outrageous treatment he
goes off in disgust and rejoins hia companions
at aea. This time the duck is allowed to hatch
her brood without human interference. But
whenever ahe leavea the nest two or three eggs
are liable to be stolen by some other duck who
has a nest near by. The marauder carefully
folds the down coverlid over the robbed neat
again and carriea the stolen eggs to her own
nest. In this way the eggs are changed about
so that a duck may finally hatch out a brood
containing not a single one of her own off
apring. As soon as the ducxlinga are all
hatched out the mother, or foster mother, if
undisturbed, endeavors to lead her flock to the
shore.
This march to the sea is to the ducklings
what teething is to human infants, the moat
"trying" time of their livea, for they are ex
posed to the attacks of birds of prey and other
enemies. Usually the islanders interfere again
at thia point, but now their interference bone
fita the ducks as well as themselves. They
gather the down and carry the ducklings in
bask eta to the shore, the old ducks following
them very contentedly.
When the shore is reached the baskets are
emptied into the water. The old ducks plunge
in and, after a good deal of commotion, swim
out to aea. each followed by a flock of duck
ings, some of which she has never seen be
fore.
The duck does not always make her first nest
in a house, of course, and if the first nest is not
disturbed she will simply hatch her brood and
put to sea with them, and the drake will not be
robbed of hia feathera. But the ialandera are
very watchful, and the first neat rarely escapes,
no matter where it ia built.
Sometimes the duck'a down ia aufflcient to
supply the aecond neat, and in thia caae the
drake remains with his family. This nest is
then robbed also, and the poor duck ia forced
to begin a third, with the help of the drake'a
down feathers. The rule among the eider
down hunters is to rob every nest until the
drake a feathers, which differ in color from
wl!"* ?1. hU m*te> *Ppe*r ?moug the down.
When this occurs it is known that the pair will
baud no more that year, and so the eggs are
allowed to hatch in ord^r to preserve the
1*?! wlU furnish at least an ounce of
down, which is worth on the spot about 26 cents
of our money. As the birds visit the in

PHONOGRAPH REPORTING.
Some Little Improvements Will Have to
Bo Mode to Reader Things Comfortable.
Prom Pack.
Some poor Uw-reporter anxiously inquire!
whether the phonograph is aot likely soon to
?npersede the stenograph. It might strike one
that the phonograph wonld make the best of
reporters; bat the stenographers need not eon
suit their (ears until some of its bad habits
have been overcome. The experiment *ras
tried at the oCce of the Hon. Oordon Blakely,
in a hearing, on the 3d of August last, in Boiler
vs. Jones. This is the way page 337 of the tes
timony would have read if his stenographer
could have had the handling of it:
Cross-examination by Mr. Brown:
Q.?"What is your business?"
A.?"Lumber, commission. I solicit orders
for door-casings, Ac."
Q.?"Do you know the defendant, Mr.
Jones?"
"Yes sir."
Q.?"And Mr. Kavanagh? Answer 'yes* or
?no.' H
"Tss."
Q.?"You heard his testimony, given yester
day?"
A.?"Yes; most of il"
Q.?"He was asked how many casings had
this turned molding on them, ana he said he
could not telL Do you know?"
A.?"I couldn't tell. A great manv."
Q.?"Did you furnish the material to make
that molding?"
A.?"It was ash." ?
Q.?"I say, did you furnish it?"
A.?"Yes, sir, some of it."
? e ?
But the stenogrspher had been given a vaca
tion in the expectation that the phonograph
would more than fill his place, and the instru
ment covered itself with glory, thus:
" 'Mr. Peck, what's your business? E?
What is your business? " I say, what is your
business?'
(The phonograph gave this very loud. That
witness was deaf.)
"Oh, my business? Lumber commission. I
answered that before. I solicit door casings,
Ac.
(Here the phonograph gave a distinct laugh,
and one politely suppressed).
" 'What do you do?do you get them?' 'I
mean I solicit orders for door casings, Ac.' 'Do
you know the defendant, Mr. Jones?' 'Yes, sir.'
'And Mr. Kavanagh?' 'Well, I dunno; pretty
welL I am acquainted with him. You can't
always say you know a person?' 'Never mind
moralizing; answer yes or no. Are you ac
quainted with him, if you like that better?'
'Yes.' 'You heard his testimony, given yester
day?' 'Yes, most of it; all I was listening to. I
am a little hard of hearing?been so since?let
me see?' 'Never mind. He was asked?Where
isit??
(Here the phone broke off suddenly and be
gan to relate an aneodote of Oen. Sheridan dur
ing the late war. Mr. Blakely ransacked his
memory as to what that had to do with Buller
vs. Jones, until he remembered that the anec
dote had been related by Mr. Whitney, on Mr.
Dill remarking that it was very warm, while
Mr. Brown was hunting for a passage in the
stenographer's minutes. But, it was no use to
remind the phonograph that it was irrelevant,
incompetent and immaterial, for it would go
on, and even related Mr. Blakely's own laugh
at the end, although Mr. Blakely made a
point of never laughing at the same anecdote
twice. Then it resumed the examination.)
" 'Oh, here it is. He was asked how many
casings had this turned moulding on them, and
he said he could not tell; do you know?' 'Eh?'
'He was asked how many casings had this
turned moulding on them, and he said he could
not tell; do you know?' 'I couldn't tell; a great
many.' 'Did you?' 'Here's a gentleman to
see you, Bfr. Blakely.' 'I can't see him now, I
am engaged; tell him to call again. Tom!
Come back and shut the door!'"
(The phonograph now imitated the shutting
of a door.)
"Now, Mr. Brown?"
(For eighteen seconds the phonograph
seemed divided between a desire to report the
question and to imitate the rumbling of a cart
which went through the street, with a few
notes of what sounded like "Lanagan's Ball" on
a hand organ.)
"Perhaps we had better have that window
shut We will have the next hearing in the
back room, as usual, gentlemen; I thought it
would be cooler here. Did you furnish the
material to make that moulding?" 'It was ash.'
'I say, did you furnish it?' 'Eh?' 'Did vou fur
nish it?' 'Earn it?' 'Furnish it!' 'Oh! Yes; some
of if "
? ?????
"Tom," said Mr. Blakely, half an hour later,
"go out and post this letter to the stenographer,
to tell him he must be back before the next
hearing. If civilization had stopped short the
other side of the phonograph it would have
been advanced enough for me.
"There. I forgot to tell him to hurry! The
inventors would do well to turn their attention
to making an instrument that would keep track
of a boy when be goes on an errand."
Secretary Tracy Wins a $5,000 Suit.
Secretary Tracy and C. P. Huntington were
successful in having the suit brought against
then by Lawyer Sanders for $5,000 for pro
fessional services dismissed by Chief Justice
Sedgwick of the superior court in New York yes
terday. Banders claimed that he was engaged
by Tracy to prosecute for Huntington a claim
to surplus moneys in an action in the Brooklyn
courts affecting real estate of the Rockaway
Beach improvement company. Secretary
Tracy while on the stand said be never engaged
Mr. Sanders, for he never had nuthority to do
so. On motion of the general's counsel the
complaint was dismissed.
Mr. Wanamaker's Washington Bible
Class.
From tbs Philadelphia 8tar.
It is reported that during the coming winter
Postmaster Oeneral Wanamaker will relinquish
his trips from Washington to Philadelphia on
Saturdays, but will remain at the capital and
teach a Bible class there. This will be a great
loss to Bethany Sunday school Mr. Wana
maker has taken a pew in the Church of the
Covenant, in Washington, and last Sunday the
pastor. Rev. Dr. Hamlin, announced that a
member of the cabinet had determined to start
a Bible class, and that those who desired to join
should register. It was at first thought that
President Harrison intended to teach, but it
has since been learned tnat Mr. Wanamaker
will be the teacher.
Co-education In Pennsylvania.
Prom the Philadelphia Press.
Co-education has just received the almost
unanimous approval of the college faculty of
the university of Pennsylvania. This impor
I tant action?the most advanced that has yet
been taken in the liberalising of the institu
tion?was the result of a faculty meeting, when
this resolution was adopted with but two dis
senting votes: "That students be admitted
without distinction of sex to all the courses of
the college faculty." The resolution will go
before the trustees and.if they shall approve it,
all the classes from freshman to senior will be
open to students of both sexes. Already there
are a number of young women anxious to enter
the university who are only waiting until the
resolution is passed finally by the trustees.
The universities of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michi
gan, Minnesota,Kansas and California all admit
women on an equal standing with men, and so
does the University of Mississippi. In the east
coeducation is in force at Wesleyau, the Col
lege of Vermont, Cornell university, Buckuell
(at Lewiston) and Dickinson, in fact, at the
latter college quite a scene was created a few
years ago when one of the earliest women
graduates was hissed while on the stage. At
Swarthmore the practice has been In vogue for
a number of years, and it is claimed by those
who are most familiar with it to have beon
altogether successful.
Succession to Victoria's Throne.
Prom th? Loudon Troth.
I hear that the duke has worried the queen
considerably about the question of the suc
cession to the throne in the event of Prince Al
bert Victor and Prince Oeorge dying without
issue, and the dnke of Saxe-Coburg-Ootha and
the Empress Frederick are understood to be
strongly of opinion that, in order to prevent
any possibility of disputes and troubles in the
future there ought to be a formal understand
ing on the subject. It is undoubtedly desirable
that such questions should be properly and
publicly settled in good time, and, human life
being uncertain, the anticipated situation
might arrive any day. Lord Salisbury has
been much to blame for letting the matter
slide in order to avoid threatened disputes, as
a formal announcement ought certainly to
have been made to parliament before the mar
riage took place.
