PHILADELPHIA
The United States has had many
large expositions in the past 25 years,
great World's Fairs where the prod
ucts of the "world have been" displayed
but the first thoroughly American ex
position ever given will be the Na
tional Export Exposition to be held In
Philadelphia during the coming fall.
This will be a national display of
American manufactures for the ex
pansion of export trade. The' best of
everything will be on view and the
vast inroads already made In the com
merce of foreign countries by our
manufacturers will be increased. In
addition tcj this great display of goods
made In the United States there will be
samples of the goods made In England,
Germany and France which sell read
ily In foreign countries, arranged so
that our manufacturers can study them
and meet the competition of foreign
manufacturers. There will also be a
department of the exposition which
will illustrate the methods in which
goods should be labeled, packed and
shipped so as to readily sell in foreign
countries. In connection with the ex
position an International Commercial
Congress will be held during October.
To this will come delegates from every
one of the commercial centers of the
world, representatives of foreign gov
ernments, boards of trade, chambers
of commerce, and business men who
want to study American manufactured
goods with a view to exporting them.
It will be the greatest gathering of
foreign merchants ever held in the
United States and is expected to be
beneficial to the commercial interests
of our country.
The National Export Exposition has
been officially recognized by the
United States government, congress
having appropriated $350,000 toward it
The legislatures of many states have
aided it and given It their official sanc
tion. The governors of most of the
states have requested manufacturers
to make creditable displays. All the
money necessary for the erection of
the buildings and maintenance of the
exposition has been raised and its suc
cess Is assured. The exposition
grounds will cover 70 acres and will be
laid out In an artistic manner. The
buildings will be novel in construc
tion, massive and beautiful. The main
building will cover eight acres of
ground and will be constructed of steel
and brick. There will be over 200,000
square feet of exhibition space In this
buldlng In addition to a beautiful
auditorium with a seating capacity of
5.000.
The manufacturers of -agricultural
implements took hold of the exposi
tion with such vigor and applied for
so much space fcuat it became necessary
to erect a special building for this class
of exhibits. This will be 160x450 feet
in size and in it will be displayed
every description of farm Implements
and machinery. There will also be
a afield of 20 acres for the proper dis
play of windmills, field engines, etc
Every manufacturer of farm machin
ery or agricultural Implements should
be represented in this building as it
will afford unusual oDjportunlties for
the showing of the merits of goods, not
only to foreign buyers but also to the
thousands who will flock from all parts
of the country to see the first American
Exposition of American manufactures.
In addition to the many detached
structures for special exhibits, there
will be a transportation building In
which will be shown locomotives.
freight and passenger cars, electric
cars, automobiles, etc
The amusements to be provided will
be of an elevating and instructive char
acter. There will be dally concerts In
the auditorium by leading organlza-J
tions of the United States. On a broad
esplanade, 800 feet long, and nearly
as wide as the Chicago court of honor,
will be located villages in which will
be shown the habits, customs, modes
of life and amusemeats of the Inhabi
tants of the Philippines, Hawaiian Isl
ands, Porto .Rico, Cuba and China. The
villages will be peopled by aatives of
those countries, brought to this coun
try expressly for the expssiUea. la
the Chinese village there will be .over
49$ people. Other amusements a.-fll be
located ea thissplaaade aai It will
fee eae tf the most attractive- spats at
the expesitSea Jer the geaeral'pabuc
The Natteaal Export Exposltkm will
' -
be unique and dlstlatftlve in character
and scope. It will prove interesting to
every American who takes pride in the
extension of bis country's trade and of
especial value to farmers as the dis
play of farming Implements and ma
chinery will be one of the most com
prehensive ever made.
CRANE AS A CORRESPONDENT.
Elchard Harding- Davis Writes of ITU
Absolute Fearlessness.
Near the close of .the war a group
of correepondeats In -Porto Rico made
out a list of the events which, In their
opinion, were of the greatost news
value during the campaign, and a list
of the correspondents, with the events
each had witnessed credited to his
name, says Richard Harding Davis in
Harper's Magazine. Judged from this
basis, Mr. Crane easily led all the rest
Of his power to make the public see
what he sees. It would be Impertinent
to speak. His story of Nolan, the
regular, bleeding to death on the San
Juan hills. Is, so far as I have read.
the most valuable contribution to lit
erature that the war has produced. It
is only necessary to imagine how other
writers would have handled It to ap
preciate that it could not have been
better done. His story of the marine
at Guantanamo, who stood on the crest
of the hill to "wigwag" to the war
ships, and so exposed himself to the
fire of the entire Spanish force, is also
particularly Interesting, as It illus
trates that In his devotion to duty, and
also In his readiness at the exciting
moments of life. Crane Is quite as
much of a soldier as the man whose
courage he described. He tells how
the marine stood erect, staring through
the dusk with half-closed eyes, and
with lips moving as he counted the
answers from the warships, while in
numerable bullets splashed the sand
about him. But It never occurs to
Crane that to sit at the man's feet
as he did, close enough to watch his
lips move and to be able to make men
tal notes for a later tribute to the
marine's scorn of fear, was equally de
serving of praise. Crane was the cool
est man, whether army officer or civ
ilian, that I saw under fire at any time
during the war. He was most annoy
lngly cool,, with the assurance of a
fatalist When the San Juan hills were
taken, he came up them with James
Hare of Collier's. He was walking
leisurely and, though the bullets passed
continuously, he never once ducked his
head. He wore a long rain-coat and,
as he stood peering over the edge of
the hill, with his hands in his pockets
and smoking his pipe, he was as un
conscious as though he were gazing at
a cinematograph. The fire from the
enemy was so heavy that only one
troop along the entire line of the bills
was returning It and all the rest of our
men were lying down. Gen. Wood,
who was then colonel of the rough
riders, and I, were lying on our elbows
at Crane's feet &nd Wood ordered him
also to He down. Crane pretended not
to hear and moved farther away, still
peering over the hill with the same In
terested expression. Wood told him
for the second time that if he did not
lie down he would be killed, but Crane
paid no attention. So, in order to make
him take shelter, I told him he was
trying to impress us with his courage
and that if he thought he was making
'me feel badly by walking about he
might as well sit down. As soon as I
told him he was trying to impress us
with his courage he dropped on his
knees, as I had hoped he would, and
jwe breathed asain.
VATICAN AND QUIRlNAL.
A generation ago schoolboys used to
find in the center of, the map of Italy a
section entitled "States of the"'Church."
Since 1S70. when the' Italian troops
marched into Rome and took posses
sion of it as the national capital, this
title of the pope's temporal dominion
has disappeared from the atlas; bat
the pope has not reaouaced his claim
to be the rightful sovereign' of the
mediaeval States ef the Caarca.
When the Italian klagdoas aad
ftiaela&lKiea were salted ay-Cavour'a j
EXPOSITION.
diplomacy. King Victor Emanuel's
campaigns and Garibaldi's valor, Rome
was the only possible national capital.
Cavour decreed that there should be
a free church in a free state, and the
Italian parliament has resolutely re
fused to recognize the rights of tem
poral sovereignty once exercised by the
popes. Rome In the course of thirty
years has doubled Its population and
become one of the great capitals of
Europe.
The Vatican has been helpless in this
conflict with the state. Its Swiss
guard could not offer resistance to the
national army, but could only perform
police duty at the Vatican and the
Lateran where the old-time papal
privileges are reserved by law. The
Vatican, however, has clung tenacious
ly to the traditions of its ancient
rights, and refused to make any com
promise with the state. Pius IX. and
Leo XIII. have taken the same position
on this question, and charged the state
with usurping what once belonged to
the Latin Church exclusively.
This Is a brief statement of what is
known in Italy as the conflict between
church and state. It is a bitter quar
rel between the Vatican and the Qulri
nal, and there is no immediate pros
pect of any settlement of the-questlons
at issue.
If the Vatican were willing to be
reconciled with the Quirihal, its pos
sessions would be altered in Europe
and its resources of power would be
greatly diminished. If peace were
made, the pope would be regarded at
the Austrian, German and other courts
as uhe chaplain of the king of Italy.
My Jjitly's SeTTlnjr Screen.
A delightful decorative and useful
note in my lady's morning room is the
sewing screen, a gracious little affair
combining all the comforts of thread
basket pincushion, needle case, work
bag, catch-all and table. One such
screen, which graces the bedroom cor
ner in the home of a busy little house
wife. Is fashioned of yellow denim and
a delicately flowered yellow silk, and
can be very easily carried out in any
color by a pair of clever hands. The
framework, which consists of two
leaves eighteen Inches wide. Is about
three feet high and Is covered from the
outside and fastened on the inside cor
ners with fancy gilt nails. Each leaf
Is divided into three parts, the upper
and lower given over to pockets made
of the silk. A needle case covered with
silk and a pincushion of yellow plush
'hang from the top of each leaf, re
spectively. Two flat pieces of paste
board covered with the silk fall against
the middle division of each leaf, one
being held by ribbons to form a wide
pocket the other standing for a small
shelf or table when caught by ribbons
to two fancy-headed nails on eiuer
side of the screen above.
Going to Bed.
No matter how busy one may be. It
is quite possible to always find time to
attend to one's toilet at night One
should not simply drop one's clothes,
and tumble into bed, else neither one's
self nor the clothes will look attractive
in the morning. Have plenty of hot
water, and give your faco a thorough
laving. The result will be as refresh
ing as an hour's sleep. Brush the hair,
it will be glossier and thicker for the
trouble, and your nerves will be sooth
ed by the process. Then drink a glass
of hot milk, weak cocoa, or even hot
water, eating a biscuit or a bit of
toast If you like. When the small sup
per Is finished, you will be ready to
go to sleep without any insomnia cure,
and In the morning you will waken re
freshed and thoroughly in good humor
with yourself and the world.
Bat Beware of the Xesalt.
You begin by declaring that If any
one will write something oa a piece. of
paper, yoa -rill undertake to Bay what
there is upon it Should anyone desire
to test you, tell him, when he has writ
ten sosiethmg on a piece of paper, to
roll it up small and hold the paper
straight op la his hand, aad, after
TffflTflng- him hold It up a number of
diSereat ways, say: "Now place the
paper on the ground In the middle oi
the room, and in order that I may not
have the chance of lifting it up in
the least please place both your feet
upon it I will then proceed o in
form you at once what Is on the paper."
After going through all sorts of ma
neuvers to mislead the spectators, and
keep alive their curiosity, you finally
turn to the gentleman who Is standing
with both feet on the paper, and say:
"I have undertaken to state what was
upon that piece of paper. You ore up
on it"
"OLD PARIS" AT THE FAIR.
Reconstruction of City In 17th Century
an Interesting' Feature.
One of the most Interesting of the
private enterprises at the exposition
In Paris In 1900 will be the reconstruc
tion of "Old Paris." Already the tur
rets, gables and scaffolding reveal the
general ensemble of the several his
torical "quartlers" and building of tho
Paris of the seventeenth and eight
eenth centuries, says the New York
Mall and Express. The idea is to re
produce streets of the time of Louis
XIII. and XIV. and to people them
with the costumes and dresses cf the
period. The "Old Paris" will be built
on piles and will extend on the Seine
from the Alma bridge to the Jena
bridge on a surface, part of concrete
and part wood, of 20,000 square feet
with a frontage on the river of 850 feet
The part of the "Old Paris" Immediate
ly over the Seine will be supported by
900 piles at a height of sixteen feet
about high-water mark. The princi
pal entrance will be off the Alma
bridge. It will be a reproduction or
the old St Michael gate. Past the St
Michael gate the traveler will come to
a square, the famous Pre-aux-CIercs,
the meeting place of the duelists of the
time of Louis VII. Off the pre-aux-Clercs
to the left will be the monas
tery of Chartreuse du Luxembourg,
founded by St Louis and destroyed
during the revolution. Immediately
opposite will be the three-steepled edi
fice of the ParloIr-aux-BourgeoIs, the
city hall of the middle age, and a little
farther on Is a tower of the old Louvre.
From each side of the Pre-aux-CIercs
a Btreet will lead to a second square,
where the Cluny cloister will be feund,
together with the Pllon of St. Germain
de3 Pres and various other picturesque,
old-time edifices. In one of these,'
called the "Poets' Garret," a theater
will be built, where old-time plays will
be acted. The two streets will be
known as the Rue des Ramparts and
the Rue des ViellesEcoles. The last
named will contain a number of fa
mous houses, among others the paper
hanging shop of Poquelln, where
iiouere was born; the house of Nicolas
Flamel, that of Theophraste Renandot
and that of the Etienne. A third
square, the Place St Pullen. will have
on one side the little church of St
Julien de3 Menetlers and on the other
the old and beautiful chamber of ac
counts, built in the sixteenth century
and burned In the eighteenth. Behind
the chamber of accounts will be th
Grand Cour de Paris, on which ,wlll
face some famous private residences of
old Paris, such as the Hotel des Ursius
the Hotel Collgny and the Hotel Sar
dlnL A little further will he the fa
mous Pont au Change, destroyed by
fire In 1621. and the .prison of the
Grand Chatelet, where they will serve
beer and sandwiches. Instead of water
and black bread.
