PALACES OF VARIED INDUSTRIES AND ELECTRICITY AT THE WORLD’S FAIR
' t ,V"• ; v |; . - ~ .
VAHII.n IM)lSlHli:s lAL.\(R, SHOWING THR SWIXiIMi COI-OWADR.
The palace of electricity is one of the central structures of the exposition, standing opposite the palace of
education on the west side of the grand basin.
The lagoon system extends entirely around the building and the approach is by means of several ornamental
bridges. The entire setting is most beautiful.
The palace of varied industries stands on the north, and the palace of machinery on the west, and the cas
cade gardens rise on the south. The building rovers eight acres and is one of the most costly, on account of its
lofty columns and entablatures, the high towers at corners and entrances and the liberal use of sculpture.
H~ ; i
ELECTRICITY AND MACHINERY BUILDING.
The architecture Is such as to make a picture of unusual beauty when the electric current is turned on
and the thousands of bulbs glow. In the brilliant night picture the statuary on the lofty corner towers and
elsewhere stands our prominently against the dark sky.
The sculpture on the corners Is by Bela L. Pratt. The standing figure represents Light, holding aloft the
Sun, while at her feet, In the shadow of their mantles, crouch figures representing Darkness.
NEW YORK TOO BIG FOR
EX-SPEAKER AND EX-GOVERNOR.
Col. Henderson and Gov. Campbell of Ohio Shake
the City’s Dust from Their Feet.
New York, May 7.—lt was an odd
coincident that made public on
the une day the news that
J. B. Henderson, formerly of lowa
and ex-Bpeaker of thtf House of Rep
resentatives, and J. E. Campbell, for
merly Governor Ohio, had deter
mined to abandon New York and re
turn to their former homes in the
Interior of the country.
Ex-Gov. Campbell has been a resi
dent of the metropolis for a good many
years. He has been credited with mak
ing a good deal of money here, and
his decision to go back to the West
was received with some surprise. Ex-
Speaker Henderson has not been in
gwrarai '.*,* 'i
II mm -ij^S
■ ' .; '•£ ■'
EX-SPEAKER DAVID B. HENDERSON.
New York so long and his decision
was not so unexpected.
New York Too Overcrowded.
Within a week after the ex-Rpeaker
had settled down to the practice of
law in the big city, he began to tell
his friends how tremendously over
crowded the town appeared to him;
how difficult it was for him to g-t
about Its streets; how much Its great
notae annoyed him; how homesick he
was for Dubuque.
There were many things, he said,
In this city which he liked very much.
He had many friends of long s'anding
here, in whose company he took great
delight. He had mode friends here
since his advent as a metropolitan
citizen, and some of these were be-
coming very dear to him. Yet, after
all, for him there was only one little
old Dubuque.
“Col.” \nf ”Gcn." llemlerson.
Col. Henderson —he has often been
called General, but that is a title which
he never bore and which he doesn’t
like—was one of three former speakers
to choose New York as a residence aft
er leaving public life.
Ex-Speaker John G. Carlisle still
dwells here, and if he is tired of the
town no one knows it. Ex-Speaker
Thomas B. Reed died while still a res
ident of New York, but there was a
rumor that he had intended to shift
his headquarters from the metropolis to
the Capital and continue his law prac
tice there.
There were many things about New
York that Mr. Reed did not like. To
him, as to Col. Henderson, the noises
of the city seemed too vast, too eai
splitting, too overpowering. The crowd
ed tralllc of the streets bored him im
mensely. He found it impossible to
walk up Broadway in its busy hours
with an.v comfort. In Washington he
could stroll the length of Pennsylvania
avenue without jostling against all
f >rts and conditions of men. It was
his custom much of the time to walk
from his hotel to the Capitol ami enjoy
the air—recognized and saluted by
many whom he met. In New York
when he attempted to walk part or
all of the way from his office to his
residence his passage was constantly
obstructed by the busy throngs of hur
rying metropolitans, who did not rec
ognize him, and who, In the majority

of cases, would not have cared to stop
and gaze at him if they had.
Shocked by the Change.
The transition from the atmosphere
of Washington, where the public man
is all dominant,’ to the commercial at
mosphere of New York, -where the
public man is looked upon through a
different perspective, and where not
one in a hundred would either recog
nize or stop to gaze upon him, must
be something of a shock even to the
sanest and most thoroughly balanced
of publicists. So, too, must the change
from the atmosphere of deliberation, of
easy going, to the atmosphere of what
may be termed impetuous concentra
tion which characterises this town.
Yet New York has been the final
place of residence for scores of public
men. Some of them, like the late ex-
Gov. Hoadley of Ohio have made a
good deal of money here in the practice
of law. Some of them have settled
down here to live out the remainder of
their days. To these men New York
has proved not all noise, not all bustle
and rush. They have found its pic
ture galleries, its superior musical en
tertainments, its cosmopolitanism, such
potent attractions as to overshadow
completely the conditions which annoy
Col. Henderson so much- Duane.

V Wonderful Saving.
The largest Methodist Church In
Georgia calculated to use over one
hundred gallons of the usual kind of
mixed paint in painting their church.
They used only 32 gallons of the
Longman & Martinez Paint mixed
with 24 gallons of linseed oil. Actual
cost of paint made was less than $1.20
per gallon.
Saved over eighty <$SO.OO) dollars
1n paipt, and got a big donation be
sides.
EVERY CHURCH will be given a
liberal quantity whenever they paint.
Many houses are well painted with
four gallons of 1.. & M. and three gal
lons of linseed oil mixed therewith.
Wears and covers like gold..
These Celebrated Paints are sold by
Edward Lovell's Sons. i

WILL BE NO RECEIVERSHIP.
The application for a permanent re
ceiver for A. B. Baxter & Cos. was dis
missed in Atlanta by Judge Lumpkin.
It was shown by Attorney L. Z. Ros
ser, who represented the defendants,
Baxter & Cos., that the claimants in the
application had been settled with in
full. Attorney Burton Smith, repre
senting the original applicants, stated
that he was ready to substitute other
claimants than the clients in the orig
inal application, but Judge Lumpkin
overruled him and decided to dismiss
the application. Mr. Smith gave no
tice that he would carry the case to
the Supreme Court, and asked for a
supersedeas, which was granted in the
order of the court. The application for
a receiver was filed when Baxter &
Cos. suspended business some two or
three months ago. Attorney B. H. Hill
was made temporary receiver. About
two weeks ago the company settled
with its creditors and customers and
an order was asked dismissing the
application for a permanent receiver
and dissolving the temporary receiver
ship.
STOPPING BLIND TIGERS.
The new Mayor of Vidalia is making
it hot for the dealers in blind tiger
whisky. Four cases have been brought

GOINGS SEES FOR *.10,000.
Timothy Goings, an ex-convict, has
filed a suit against the Chattahoochee
Brick Company of Atlanta for $30,000
damages. The suit is a most unique
one and probably the first one of its
kind in the state. The suit grows out
of the claim made by Goings that he
was unlawfully held as a prjsoner by
the brick company for a period of
eleven and a half months. A short
while ago the plaintiff came into con
siderable public notice because of a
writ of habeas corpus taken out in
his behalf. The writ was sustained by
Judge Lumpkin and Goings was given
his liberty. . sdtAMfiß
CHANCE FOR BROCGHTON.
Quitman Free Press: The City of
Atlanta, which was launched at Ches
ter, Pa„ last week, was "baptizedw in
wine.” Surely Rev. Len Broughton will
not overlook this opportunity to get his
most effective word batteries into play.
TOO HANDY WITH PENSIONS.
For being too handy getting up
pension applications. Rev. D. D. Kaig
ler, a colored preacher of Butler, was
sentenced at Columbus to thirteen
months in the federal prison in At
lanta, and to pay a fine of SIOO by
Judge Newman, in the federal court.
JONES STILL AT LARGE.
Ashley Jones, who on Monday last
shot and killed William Franklin
Pierce, constable of Harvard district,
Laurens county, has not yet been cap
tured. City Court Sheriff John D.
Prince has offered a reward of $.25 for
the arrest of Jones. This reward will
probably be supplemented by Gov. Ter
rell.

UNCLE DAN’S SNAKE STORY.
New York Sun: To tho Editor of
the Sun: Sir—That truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction is shown in the
peculiar characteristics of a snake that
inhabits the Black Jack Swamp of
Florida, near Carrabelle. He is about
three feet long, of a greenish color
with white belly, and Is not venomous.
When touched with a stick he dismem
bers his body, the head with a few
inches going In one direction and the
tall in another. If not crushed the
snake will come back and take up the
disjointed parts and go on about his
business. He Is known as the "joint
snake,” and any Inhabitant of St.
James Island is willing to make affi
davit to the strange habits of this nat
ural phenomenon. Dan Taylor and
John Alligood, both old hunters, verify
this story and have watched the snake
In his strange maneuvers. No one has
been able to catch one alive, and the
natives look upon this freak with su
perstitious awe. It is a study for nat
uralists, and the record snake history
of this Interesting section. Uncle Dan.

at Fuller’s dock, three casks of gas
oline on the deck of the launch, ex
ploded, from some unexplained cause.
The noise of the explosion was heard
for blocks around, and an ascending
column of fire shot upward to the hight
of fifty feet, forming a beautiful but
disastrous pyrotechnic display.

Dr. Joseph Holt, who ranks among the foremost sanitarists of the

where visitors from warm latitudes, and especially from crowded centers,
may surely enjoy the benefits of waste-restoring stimulants, which insures
a rapid,recuperation and the very best preparation for renewed health and
a long sustained activity in the occupation of a busy and often overworked
life.”
