Men Who Are Identified with the IMan nlnir nd llulllhic of the Beautiful Structure A Magnificent Affair. In the most Wautiful park in all France I 'a re tie la Tete il'Or the Ly ons world's fair was formally opened April -'). For over a year preparations had Wen in progress ami -the ex position presented all its liuildins fully furnished on the opening'. The plan, says a writer in the Philadelphia Telegraph, represents a polygonal cu pola, covering :iumio wjnare meters, for a peneral exhibit of all proluets. and special pavilions for exhibits of the French colonies, the liberal arts, agri culture, the tine arts anil various socie ties. The exhibition buildings cover T'.KUMMI square meters of the 1 .(." ).mo siuare meters that form the area of the l'arc de la Tete d r. M. J. Claret, a citizen of Lyons and a memluT of the lepion of honor, is the originator of the fair. M. t'laret le came famous throug-h his work on the locks of the River Suresnes. He guar anteed alone the -expense of the fair to the sum of 7.hhi.ikh francs. As the work was progressing the city of Ly ons expressed its interest by ortern its own guarantee to foruirn exhibit ors, by offering" to superintend the con trol of the fair, by making; several ap propriations aggregating; 1.(kh,mh francs for exhibits in the departments of health, fine arts, public instruction ami assistance, and. finally, by enroll ing' in its Itoard of patrons of the fair the leading- citizens of Lynns. M. J. Claret was made director of the enter prise and responsible to the municipal ity, and the municipality made itself responsible to all the exhibitors. Ap plications for space in the exhibition buildings were referred to M. J. Claret, concessionaire general de reposition. I'alais Saint-I'ierre. The last date at which exhibits might le received was made April 1. H'.U; the minutest details were settled in July last year. The U-autiful Tare de la Tete d"Or, where the fair grounds are situated, is reached by four lines of street cars from the center of the city in fifteen minutes. All" the railway stations there are six of them have Wen placed in direct communication with the park. The main entrance is by the finely sculptured monument erected to the reg-iments of the Rhone which fought in th Fruneo-I Yussian war by the peo ple of Lyons, l'agny was its sculptor. The building1 and lawns of the general exhibition are at the right, the colonial exhibition at the left, as one enters. The I'alais de TAlgeria. made on the plan and in the style of the Mustapha palace: the I'alais de la Tunisie. in spired by the Mosque of Souk-el-I!ey, which is at Tunis: the I'alais de la Tunisie, inspired by the skillful An namites: the I'alais des Iteaux-Arts and the Hall Central de l'Agriculture are on Wth sides of the g-eneral exhibition building'. The polygonal form of the latter facilitates a methinlical classifi cation of the exhibits. The visitor fol lows scientifically, in his way from the center to the perpiheryof the building', the gradual transformation of raw ma terials into manufactured goods. The central dome is the reflector of an in tensive electric lamp placed at a height of one hundred and fifty feet. Klectri eians intend that the latest applica tions of electricity shall W exhibited in every variety. The exhibition is to Ih? closed NovemWr 1. I ABSENT-MINDED SENATORS. John Sherman often I'nahle to Call the Names of II I r rtemlH. There is many a man who has felt himself aggrieved that Senator John Sherman was unable to rememWr him or to call him by name. It is a faculty, says the Washington Times, the lack of which seriously handicaps a man in public life. Perhaps the great Ohioan might have W-en president but for the lack of it. Hut the fact of his for pettinp a man s name is no evidence in John Sherman's case of his wanting in esteem for the forgotten one. In a recent speech he paused con fusedly when he wanted to refer to something that hail leen said by "Mr. Mr. my ncighWr on my left the senator from Massachusetts." Senator Aldrich, sitting just Whind him, sug gested Hoar. Sherman and Hoar have W'en associated in public life for an in definite numln-r of j-ears. They are friends and what may W termed inti mate acquaintances. The Sherman and the Hoar families are related. Yet the senator from Ohio was made to come out of the absorption in his sul ject in which he was invested to call the name of Senator Hoar. It is related as a fact of a wealthy old resident of a western town that he wandered all over the town in a fit of profound abstraction one morning-. Nune one stopped him to say: '"(ioimI morning-. Mr. Hayden." The old fellow looked up excitedly and exclaimed: '-That s it: That's it: I've Wen trying- to think of that name all morning-, and I couldn't sig-n a check at the bank." Korgetfulness of names is not an un usual peculiarity among-men. but it is a fatal lack in a man who seeks popu larity with the masses of the people. flit off from the World. There is a little group of islands in the Pacific ocean, half-way between II : l . nun an ami .-amoa. udc ol tnem is called Fanning- island, and it is the property of an American family named "I'l-. niiirnnre ii ior gmano. It is a coral islet, with a fine lag-oon, which has In-en entered by American and l.ntisli warships. The proposed cable across the Pacific ocean, from Austral asia to liritish North America, w ill. it is expected, cross the island. The lireig-s lead an ideal life, apart from all others of their kind, save a hun dred natives, who do their work. Once only in six months do they hear from the world, and then a little sailing- ves sel comes to them. laden with mail, ?.ooks, newspapers and provisions. It is always bummer on the island al ways so warm that one can swing- in a hammock all night with little cover ing- save the clear sky. No Prohibition About It. During- a -certain court-martial trial held recently in New Mexico, a colored Serg-eant was called to t-vtif- a lieutenant, formerly his troopcom- manuer, now cnarg-eil before the court with intoxication and neglect of duty. 'You say that the lieutenant told you to march the troop down to So-and So's ranch and there go into camp?" asked the judge-advocate. "Yes, sah." re plied the Afrieau sergeant. "Well, from previous testimony, it .seems that your troop went that night without water." '"Xo, sah; we didn't git no watah." -Well, how was that? There was plenty of water at the ranch. They didn't prohibit you from getting ivater, did they?" asked the judge-a.f-vocate. '-Oh. no sah! dey warn't no pro bition almut it. Dey was watali dere, but dey just wouldn't let u hab it."

When 'Jiieeti Victoria one day recent ly with a stroke of sword and formal .-. i':rtesy exclaimed: "Ari c. Sir I ,;.:.c I'i .man." she not oiily.eonfi-rri.il the kniyht hood on the ayed inventor of phonetic shorthand, lint illustrated the fact that in Kno-land honors are a re ward sometimes loiio- delayed. Sir laae Pitman, says the New York World, is now ci;rhty-one years of aye, and kniyhthood. although it carries the lowest title in the realm, and one that lacks the hereditary principle, comes to him as a yraceful recognition of a life's work well done. I-'or sixty seven years he has worked ten to fourteen hours a day. almost without a vacation. I lis phonetic short hand was not a pure invention, but he undoubtedly did more to extend and popularise the art and to briny it into use than any other man. Shorthand comes down to us from the ancients. The tirst crude hicroyh phics in Kyvpt were a kind of shorthand, while l'epvs" diary was written in a system used in his day. In 1-17 the system of Isaac Pitman was published. He popularized the art by cheap publications, which brouyht m-IumiIs of shorthand into existence and ma le his system the standard. Dick ens, who had Wen a reporter in the house of commons, lias drawn in ""David C'oppertield" an amusiny pic ture of the struyyle of the early short hand writers lie fore Pitman's dav. when the art lacked the clearness and brevity which lie yave it. but it is a curious fact that the ofik-ial stcno yraphers of the house of commons iw the system of Curney to the present day. Pitman, however, justly deserves the title of "The Father of Shorthand." which far eclipses in ylory that which the ipicen has conferred upon him, for. as Lalionchere says: Kvery coal heaver in these davs is a kniyht." ' PAYING THE PIPER." Tin- Origin and SiiriiinVaiK- of the In vertiiitl llxpreiiHion. How many times we have heard the expression "pay the piper," and won dered where it oriyinated. Perhap: some of you have heard the leyeiul. but for the many who have not I will tell it. In all likelihood it came from tin-old and celebrated (rcrinan leycn.'. of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin." Rob ert P.rowniny has yiven us a pretty de scription of the leyend in a poem of the same name. The story tells us that a youny musician, dressed in disyuise. came to llamel. a flourishing town in IJrnnswick. and offered to rid the town of the nits which had infected it for so lony a time. He wore a fancy coat of many different colors, hence tie was called the pied piper. The commission ers of the town yive him orders to de stroy the rats, and promised him a re ward when he should have done so. P.ut after the work was completed the promised reward was withheld, and the pijHT in revenye blew his inayieal pipe ayain and by its wonderful tones drew all the children of the town to a cavern in a hillside. The opening ,,f the cavern was closed as soon as the children had entered, and their par ents never saw them ayain. And so our proverbial expression, "pay the piper," sprany from this leyend. and it conveys a w arniny to all men to pay ever3one his just dues, or lie on the lookout for a revenye as cruel as that of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. now fit j- Wan fttftrtrd. The little city of Mt. Vernon. New York, owes its oriyin to communistic discussions in a tailor's shop far down Hudson street. The tailor and some of his acquaintances finallv ayreed to put in one dollar a week until the accumulations should reach a sufficient &um to purchase a tract of land in the suburbs of New York. The little oryanization prew to contain more than one thousand momU-rs. ami they put in one dollar a week for seventy-six weeks. Then. aKiut ls5l, thev made their purchase. Horace Greeley, who was one of the subscribers to the fund, wished to ranye the private lots about a central common, but to this his fellows would not hear, and to this day Mt. Vernon has no considerable public Mpiare. All traces of the oriy inal communistic .scheme have disap peared, thouyh some of the original fcub.-.cribera uiay survive.
