    Buffalo Exposition Prospers
twetlptt More Than Pay Expeniei and Show
it Booming,
President John G. Milburn, of the
.Vi-American exposition, has issued
t statement, which in part says:
uThe exposition has been more
ban paying its expenses since the
beginning of June, and has already
iccumulated a considerable surplus.
That surplus is increasing daily. The ex
position is having the same experience
Jjat every other exposition has had,
jarticularly the World's lair. The
nasses outside the city where an ex
position is held do not attend during
May, June and July. The attendance
begins in August and increases during
September and October.
All indications show that is to be
the experience of this exposition. The
reports fiom railroad men, hotel men
and travelers are all to that effect.'"
"Attendance during August, Sept
ember and October equal to the at
tendance at Chicago in October alone
will pay all the obligations of the ex
position, including its bonded indebt
edness, and will leave a large surplus."
American Hay for British Horses.
A Towanda firm, the Susquehanna
Valley Hay Co., is now shipping hay
to South Africa to feed the troop
horses of the lirit'sh army. The ship
ment will consist of 1 06 cars, or about
1,275 tons of hay. The Towanda
Arm was one of the few firms in the
country that could furnish anywhere
near such a large quantity of old hay
as was demanded, last year's crop
having been practically disposed of.
Fifty cars of this amount are now be
ing loaded at the barns of the com
pany and the balance must be on the
dock in New York before Aug. 15.
This hay, put up in the usual sized
bales familiar to every one, is shipped
to the government agents in Brook
lyn, where it is put through a huge
compress and reduced in bulk so that
three bales occupy the space of one
in the hold of the ship that will take
it to South Africa. Towanda Rerun:
Sew Liquor License Law.
A law passed by the last legislature,
ind approved by Governor Stone is of
interest to those concerned in the
granting of liquor licenses. The new
law authorizes county courts to grant
licenses for a longer or shorter period
than a year, but in no case less than
six months or longer than iS months.
This amendment of the liquor laws is
made to permit the change in the
innual day fixed by each court for the
ranting of application for license, if
(he court shall deem such a change
idvisable. Betore making any change
.n the date from or the period for
rhich license shall run as provided in
his act, the court shall give at least
three months previous notice of their
mentions to make such change, by
rder filed with the proper clerk and
wblication thereof in one or more
lewspapers, as may be directed.
Eights of School Boards
Judge Ferris, of Luzerne county,
has rendered an interesting opinion in
yhich he decides that a court of equity
las no jurisdiction to supervise and
lirect the official discretion of a board
of school directors when such discre
ion has been exercised without fraud.
The case was not an unusual one. It
as an application for a peremptory
aandamus to compel the school board
d Nescopeck to admit a young man
lamed Strong as a pupil to the schools
if Nescopeck without charging tuition
ees. Strong was raised in Nebraska,
md upon the death of his father went
.0 Nescopeck to live with a brother-n-law
and alleged that he intended to
uake Nescopeck his permanent home,
fhe school board refused to admit him
is a free pupil to the public schools on
he ground that he was a non-resident
f the district, and the court refused
o interfere.

dend, three or four probably fatally in

hurt more or .less seriously is the latest
revised record of Monday night's ex

cust street above Tenth street in this
city. How many more victims, it nuy,
nre Mill in the ruins will not be known
until all the debris hns been cleared
uwny. which will require many more
hours of hard work. The latest find was
made at 8 o'clock last night, when the
badly burned remains of a colored man
WUS found in the wreckage on the side
walk. Undeterred by the incessnnt rnin, the
work of searching for the dead has beeu
kept up continuously since the explosion
occurred.
Temporary electric lights have been
erected at the scene of the explosion, nnd
last night It Ml men, under the direction
of the department of public safety, were
vigorously pursuiug the search. Many
of the residents of the neighborhood be

The police nnd fire ollicials are also
making a search for the cause of the

to its cause. They hold to the theory
that gasoline did the damage and that

THE COLUMBIAN,
IT'S TOMATO CHOWDER NOW.
The HlMppenrnne of a Good Old
Dlh In 'Which C'lama Onee
, Flnnred.
That pood ol,d American dish which
Ued to deserve its name of clam chew
der'eems to have deg-enerated these
days into 0 thick, nonr-tasting tomato
soup, ways the New York Sun. There
is Kcareely a place in town where one
can pet clam chowder now as it was
made when the dish enrned the preat
measure of popularity upon which
its disreputable successor ia still trad
ing. Instead of elania tomatoes have be
come the chief ingredient, ntul the re
sult is nn indigestible mess thnt re
calls only in name the savory chowder
of better days, and nine times out of
ten the deluded (Hner who partakes
of it will be afllicted with hcurtburn
for hours afterward.
At the seashore where clnma nre
abundant one would naturally erpect
to pet n chowder made after the old.
orthodox fashion, but in the neiph
bnrhood of New York at renst there
rein-uiui only disappointment for any
one who bnnks on this hope. Kven
Ihcre the enterprising nnd inexpensive
tomato has won the fight, nnd it is
thnt product nnd not the clam that
dominates the chowder.
Another instance of the oppressive
ness of the tomato is to be found in
most restaurants that serve spaghetti.
This, too, instead of bcinir an appetizing-
mixture of macaroni nnd meat
prnvy, topped with rarmesnn, hns
come to be nothlnp more thnn a
snuce of toninto poured over the
spaghetti. So that it. is little won
der that these two dishes clam chow
der and spaghetti which formerly
wr.re so highly esteemed by those who
knew pood eat inp, have fallen in favor
here, and it seems probable. that the
time is at hand when they will be
found on the lists of only the poorest
grade of eating places.
SECURING A LOWER BERTH.
The TrleU Snmrllmri Plnjed by
Traveler to iet the C oveted
sleeping I'lHcr.
Those who travel a pood deal nnd
nre compelled to make use of nipht
appreciate the value of n lower berth
in a sleeper. All kinds of tricks are
resorted to to secure one nud the
spent must keep his eyes wide open
if he would escape several kinds of
trouble. One of Chicago's veteran
passenger men the other day told of
a practice that was common before
it was decided not to show the dia
grams of the cars to passengers.
"A customer would come into the
office," said he, "nnd ask to be shown
the diagrams of the various sleepers.
In looking them over he would no
tice that John Smith had a lower re
served until four o'clock in the after
noon, as he was not certain that he
would be nble to take the train that
day. After petting the name well
fixed in his mind the tricky cus
tomer would purchase a ticket and
go bnck to his office. About two
o'clock he would send a messenger
boy to the agency with a notice that
John Smith had decided to take the
berth he had conditionally reserved,
whereupon it would be turned over
to the messenger. When John
Smith called at four o'clock the dia
gram showed thnt his lower berth
wns pone. It would not be proper
to quote nil that John Smith would
say at such times. To save ourselves
from these embarrassments and to
protect our customers, we recently
decided to treat our diagrams as
confidential."
PROVISIONS FOR AN ARMY.
Large Ocean Menmlili Are Obliged

Larder.
I'eople who cross the Atlantic in one
of the preat liners are in no danger
of famishing. A pentleman with a
penchant for statistics has piven the
public the average supply aboard the
Dentsehland at the beginning of every
voyage between New York and Ham
burp, and, of course, nil the other big
ships nre provisioned in about the
sume way.
In the first place, there nre 40 tons
of ice to keep things eatable and
drinkable, and these are the things
that were on the ice on a recent trip
across: Fourteen beeves, ten calves,
211 sheep, 26 lambs, 9 hogs, 1,500 chick
ens, peese and game birds, 1,700
pounds of fish, 400 pounds of
tongues and sweetbreads, 1,700 doz
ens of eggs, 14 barrels of oysters and
clams, 173 barrels of potatoes, 75 bar
rels of other vegetables, 20 crates of
tomatoes and celery, 00 dozen heads
of lettuce, 1)0 barrels of flour, 600
pounds of oatmeal and hominy, 1,300
pounds of butter, 2,200 quarts of milk,
;i00 quarts of cream, 1,000 big molds
of ice cream, 4 tons of fruit, 12,000
quarts of wine and lquor, 15,000 quarts
of beer and 400 tons of drinking wa
ter. Of course all of this is not used on
each trip, but enough Is carried to
provide a liberal mnrpin.
The Level of I.nUe Erie.
Lake l'.rie Is now three and one-half
feet below the city base of level, the
standard from which the city tukea
measurement of altitude. What is
known to engineers as the "city da

of the lake in 183s. It cannot be said
that the level of the lake is steadily
lowering, as some believe, for the
level bus risen above and pone below
the city datum several times since 1838.
It is interesting to note that the great

HIGHLY IMPOLITE.
Etlqnette Saya a Slan Khnnld Ttot
W alk with Ilia Wife at At
Inntlo City.
ITnsbnnds who nre versed in the
ennons of Atlantic City etiquette are
careful not to pny too much atten
tion to their wives at this charmingly
unconventional resort by the sea, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
If there's a crowd of women sitting
on the porch and your wife is nmong
them, steer clear of your better half
and lean over some other woman's
chair nnd chat with her. The chances
nre, anyhow, thnt some other mar
ried man has already monopolized
your wife.
If a crowd is poing out t-o a cafe or
pier, or what not, don't, for pity's sake,
walk with your wife. If you do the
other persons in the party will nudpe
each other, say something uncompli
mentary, shrug their shoulders, raise
their eyebrows ard pity you for your
lack of manners.
The logic underlying this is thus ex
plained by a man:
"It's downright selfish in a fellow,
don't you know." he said, "for him to
monopolize his wfe's attention down
here. She and he may see each other
whenever they wish, but in the social
swim the opportunity for other per
sons to see her is limited. Those op
portunities should not be lost. They
keep the man nnd woman from stag
nating keep them in touch with
other persons' ideas. But, first of all
reasons, it's selfish for a man to stick
to hiR wife in public and I'm glad to
see that persons are sensible down
here, and man and wife are seldom
seen together."
HOW GERMS MAY BE KILLED.
Information About Disinfectants o
Varlona Kinds and How
They Are laed.
Scientific men say that the disin
fectants most useful as perm killers
are moist heat, such as ia used in
steam disinfectors, and certain chem
ical substances found by experiments
to be germicides, says the Scotsman.
Steam at 212 degrees Fahrenheit
will kill germa of high resistance in
live minutes. Dry, hot air at 2b4 de
grees, on the other hand, took four
houivi to effect the same end. It may
be snid thnt if articles of infected
clothing are exposed to steam ut 270
degrees for 15 minutes all germs are
destroyed. These means, of course,
apply to public disinfectors which
municipalities possess for the disin
fection of clothing, bedding nnd the
like.
The chemical disinfectants which
are the most powerful nre bichloride
of mercury (u poison), which in the
proportion of one part to 1,000 of
water kills all germs. Half nn ounce
to three gallons of water with n lit
tle aniline blue added (to color the
Solution and prevent mistakes) and
one ounce of hydrochloric acid to as
sist the action of the mercury makes
the best disinfectant known. Only
the public cannot be trusted to use n
solution which is poisonous. Carbol
ic acid is not a powerful disinfect
ant. I'sed in the proportion of five
to 100 of water it will not kill all
perms, nnd water will not tuke up
more of the acid. Izal is not poison
ous nnd is a pood disinfectant. It is
used in the proportion of one to 200
of water. Chloride of zinc (a corro
sive poison) is n disinfectant often
used for disinfecting typhoid excre
tions. Ilnd to Stnrt the Gam.
