THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1901.
THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSBTIffiN AT BUFFALO.
BY WILLIAM I.BUCHANAN, director-general
BY C0URTE5Y OF COLLIERS WEEKLY
IK TUB people of the republics
ntul countries of Centrut nnd
South America fully realized to
how treat an extent misinfor
mation with rcrrnril to their
pevcrnl countries exists In the
United States and Canada, the
l'an-Amerlcun Exposition would
ho taxed beyond Its limit to nrovldo
space for the exhibits that would
I'omo from those countries to enlighten
the people of tho United Stntes and
Canada concerning their neighbors to
tho southward. If, on the other hand,
the peoplo of the United States and
Canada knew to nny appreciable de
gree of the whole opportunities for the
profitable Investment of money and en
ergy which offer themselves In Central
and South America, they would not re
quire such exhibits to awaken their in
terest, nor would such opportunities
long remain unknown or unpossessed.
Tho ldenl had in view by those who
planned the l'an-Amerlcnn Exposition,
and toward tho accomplishment of
which nothing Is being left undone that
energy nnd effort can bring about or
suggest, Is that In all that appertains
to tho Industrial and Intellectual devel
opment of the countries of tho Western
Hemisphere the Pan-American Expo?l
tlon shall occupy tho position of a
great International "Information
Clearing House." While Interesting
millions as a beautiful spectacle, It
will afford an opportunity to the peo
ples of the three Americas to become
better acquainted with each other, and
It will prove a very prominent factor,
too, In developing a proper nnd Just
appreciation in each country of tho In
dustrial wants and trade possibilities
of their neighboring countries of tho
Western Hemisphere.
While their view of the duty nnd
task imposed upon them in this regard
has been broad, tho generosity and
public spirit of the promoters and
management of the Exposition in pro
viding for the setting of tho Exposi
tion a magnificent, falry-llko spectacle
In landscape nnd building effects, and
in arranging for the sumptuous, Intel
lectual entertainment of visitors with
in the grounds, has been broader. It Is
safe, I believe, to now risk the asser
tion that as a result of ull this the
verdict of those who visit Buffalo next
year will bo that in certain phases,
and In not a few, the Pan-American
Exposition will be Justly entitled to
rank in history as the most beautiful
and successful of American exposi
tions. ,
No one who has approached the sub
ject of Industrial Pan-American ser
iously believes that the artificial trade
conditions now existing between Can
ada, the dlffetent Central nnd South
American republics and the ' United
States ns they nftect and restrict
commerce and communication between
tho different countries enn long con
tinue. Nor cun It be controverted that
rent changes for the better In tin si
regards have taken place during the
past few years. Indeed, a gL enter
advance bus been made during the past
ten yearn In the count! los of the West
ern Hemisphere In all that counts for
the better thnn during the fiO years
preceding. This statement, ma lo
hroadlv, can be verified in detail. Tt
applies to everything that has tended
toward stability of government, to
ward the betterment nnd Improvement
of the people of the different coun
tries, toward the building up therein
of neimnnent national wealth and In
the direction of utilizing to a greater
degree than heretofore the products
and resources of these countries,
It Is true that exceptions to this
statement can be easily pointed out:
but, broadly speaking, It will bear In
vestigation and will be found to be
correct. Kor example, with few ex
ceptions, the seemingly unending
boundary disputes nil of which, by
the way, came down from the old
.Spanish regime ns nn Inheritance, nnd
which have been for 70 years the
source of untold expense and of con
stant Irritation nnd oft thrcntenel
war between practically all of the
epubllcs of Central and South Amer
icahave been amicably concluded.
The closing days of the century llnd
that chief source of trouble In Latin
America happily reduced to a com
paratively small point. It is but Just to
these republics to say In this connec
t'lon that due credit should be given
them for tho fact that In reaching this
result they have consistently recog
nized the theory of arbitration to hs
tho proper and true method by which
such Intcrnatlonnd disputes may be
soivea. Toany no boundary dilllcultv
of any kind affects the peace of the
east coast of South America, and but
two such questions are still to be ad
Justed upon the west const. Stable
government, well administered, hns
been reached In very many of the m
publics south of us. In some notably
In those toward the extreme south of
the continent the most striking nnd
rapid advances imaginable have been
made' during1 the ynst ten years In
their material development and in the
prosperity of their people.
Tl'ils has been especially true of the
Argentine Republic and of Chile. Fifty
years ago the latter supplied Hour to
the entire west coast of South, Central
and even to that of North America.
The development of California and
Ort'gbn, however, changed this, nnd
today tho latter not only supply their
own wants, but as well a largo section
Of Central nnd part of western South
America with breadstuffs. Chile, on
her part, has become the world's ni
trate producer and notably so in cod
per,.whlle her vineyards have IncreaseJ
with, each year.
In tho Argentine Republic the
changes that have occurred aie even
more striking because they relate to
things with which we of tho Unite 1
States and Canada are moro familiar
It Is, for example relatively speaking,
but a fpw yoaTs since tho United Stales
was shipping flour to the Argentina
Republic and to Uruguay. Today, as a
result of the immigration that has
poured. Into those republics, but princi
pally into tho first country, and as a
result of tho application of North
American farm machinery to the great
alluvial basin of tho River Plate, tho
Argentine Republlo ulono exports to
Europe 85,000,000 bushels of wheat and
half that amount of maWe each year.
Not content with having thus become
the competitor of the United States
and Canada In tho Old World In the
exportation of breadstuffs, the eame
republic has also become their competi
torand a strong and growing one,
too In tho exportation of meat pro
ducts. Kew have any Idea of the
growth of this Industry In the River
Plate Republics. Thirty years ago
(rent lirltuln Imported -less than 300,
000 pieces of frozen mutton. Indeed,
that was the beginning of that Indus
try. Today there- are killed, frozen
nnd exported to Europe each day from
the province of Iluenos Ayres alone,
In the Argentine Republic, 13,000 car
casses of ns good mutton ns the world
can produce, while Innumerable squiro
miles of nlfnlfa fields dot the republlo
nnd furnish rice chenp fattening
materlnl for the 30,000,000 or more of
cattlo possessed by the country.
Tho ndvnntnges tho people of the
United Stntes and Canada might ob
tnln by grasping tho ttue meaning of
tho above facts, would appear to be
many, and their value very great.
If they would, for Instance, but real
ize the significance of the one fact that
a well bred, fat steer can be nnd Is be
ing produced In tho Argentine Repub
lic and exported to England nt a total
exuenso at least $15 less than It Is
possible to do the same thing In either
tho United States or Canada while a
greater advantage lies with the oro-
ducer of River Plate mutton they
would realize the strong appearance of
probability to the often quoted stnte
ment made by some that the not dist
ant future would bring River Plate
mutton to our tables in tho United
States.
Many public men In South America
believe this will occur, reasoning as
thov do, that tho conditions In the
United States are such and their de
velopment in manufactures so pro
nounced that it can bo looked upon as
altogether probable that within tho
next ten years ment will be profitably
the great cattlo zones of South Amer
ica. They also believe that tho turn
of the tide thnt has carried the United
Stntes into the position of a lender of
money rather thnn a borrower will
then carry the well known aggressive
ness and zeal of American financiers
nnd Industrial operators Into South
America, where a highly profitable
field would be found for the employ
ment of capital In the development
of many of the smaller Industries now
in existence there nnd In tho consoli
dation nnd operation on a larger scale
of the meat producing plants there and
in the handling of breadstuffs and ull
their related Industries.
Millions of ncrcs of tillable land In
nn excellent climate, with every facil
ity except Immediate transportation,
await those who will seriously look for
It In South nnd Central America, aird
It was the earnest wish nnd purposs
of those who formulated and planned
the Pan-Amerlcnn Exposition that In
nil tho above fields they might through
the Exposition do something tnnglbl'
toward bringing to nil a better know
ledge than now exists concerning the
countries of the Western Hemisphere
and that there might result from the
Exposition something of value In tin
direction of a wider dissemination of
that practical knowledge of our sur
roundings nnd of our future industrial
outlook so much desired by all of us
and m essential to n proper realiza
tion on our own part of the problems
of trade and of ininieicp that are In
store for us and for our children to
solve; that through It the peoplo of
the Western Hemisphere might moro
clearly appreciate than they now do
the enormous resources of the West
ern Hemisphere and tho possibilities It
contains for the building up of an
enormous Industrial empire, containing
ns It does, the most fertile agricultur
al lairds of the world toward both ex
tremities of the hemisphere, with min
erals arrd forests adjacent in either
section, with great, navigable water
ways In both North and South Ameri
ca, nrrd with a central zone capable of
producing to an unlimited degree nil
the tropical nnd mrb-troplcnl products
known to or used by man.
Tho I'an-Americnn Exposition was
not, therefore, either entirely or large
ly born of a seltlsh desire on the part
of the people of tho stnte of New York,
and of Ruffalo primarily, to draw at
tention to anything they possess nor to
acquit e, wholly, local prestige and
benefit frorrr tho undertaking. The lo
cation of tiro Exposition was fixed at
Huffalo by reason of the fact that the
courage of the peoplo of thnt city and
inetr purine spirit nnd faith in their
ability to finance nnd produce nn In
ternational Expositlorr which should bo
confined to the Western Heml'pl'e .
was strong enough to convince co--gress
that the work would be v. 11
done, nnd hence tho locntlon was de
cided upon.
This step having been taken nnd tho
dlo thus cast, Huffalo has risen equal
to tho occasion, and has subscribed
millions of money, and ns'n city there
has been sunk In one common purpose
to succeed all personal and sectional
Jealousies nnd ambitions,
A splendid location was selected for
the Exposition, In which there Is In
cluded a largo part of tho city's great
and famously beautiful park, from
the time that was done up to the pres
ent moment tho Interest nrrd energy
mnnlfested nnd the stiong Intent to
succeed In every way shown by tlia
peoplo of the city In their great un
dertaking have been focused upon nnd
centered In the work now Hearing com
pletion. The extent to which this In
terest hns been shown can be gauged
from the fact thnt on several recent
Sundays 20,000 people have passed
through tho wagon gates to tho
grounds In order that they might see
how tho work of constructing tho Ex
position buildings wns progressing.
In Its architectural qualities and out
lines the Exposition pays tho republics
of South and Central America tho
highest compliment posslblo since In
tho character and design of tho build
ings there will be placed beforo the
visitor the most perfect, tho most
beautiful and tire most enchanting pic
ture of Spanish architectural memories
that lias ever been presented In any
country or place, while In its natural
attractions and In tho loveliness of its
lake and forest and flower setting the
Exposition ns a picture will be a
fcourco of gladness and delight, nnd a
pride as fell to every one who visits it.
Those who havo Its direction and man
I agement are dolntr everything within
their power to bring together about
these central, salient points those fin
ishing, connecting links of fountains,
of brilliant lighting effects, of music,
of gardens, of entertainments nnd of
novelty, which go so far townrd mak
ing up tho real llfo of n great Ex
position. As this Is being written six months
previous to the opening of the Exposi
tion It Is distinctly gratifying to the
peoplo of Huffalo and of the State of
New York to be able to realize, as they
do, that their efforts in the work of
building up nnd arranging tho ground
work of the Exposition havo been
warmly seconded on every hand, nrrd
thnt the dlscouagcmcnts they have
had to ovecome, have but more close
ly accentuated and made apparent the
merit of their undertaking and In ought
to them tho unsought praise nnd
hearty applause of their fellow citiz
ens of the United States, while the
prominent and praiseworthy activity
being shown In Mexico, Ouateninla,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras,
Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, tho Ar
gentine Republic nnd In Cuba, In nil
that rclntes to tho participation of
those countries In tho Expositlorr, Is
most encouraging nnd presages a lirll
llent outcome. To this theie Is to
be ndded the widespread Interest now
manifested In the Expositlorr In Cnn
ndn, In Jnrnnlcn, in Guadeloupe, In
Porto Rico, in Hawaii and In the Phil
ippines. With these factors to work
from there would seem to be a bright
outlook ahead for a successful outcome
and a realization to some degree of the
sentiments underlying tho Exposition.
With but few exception, the stntes are
cordially and enthusiastically Interest
ed In the Exposition, nnd will partici
pate, and they are Joining heartily In
the efforts to make It in Its success
consistent with the Ideas held by thos3
wlro formulated Its plans and such ns
will amply and fully Justify the pride,
faith and confidence of the people who
first took up nnd encouraged by every
means within their power tho holding
of a Pan-American Exposition nt a
seemingly most appropriate place
within earshot, as It is, of the world's
greatest caratact and amid the truly
rnarvelously wonderful applications of
tho unlimited power rrow being trans
mitted from that great leap of waters.
I have given several lc.rsons why It
f.eenred that air opportune moment hod
been reached to hold a Pan-American
exposition, and also why the people of
the western hemisphere should be In
terested In nnd learn much of grent
advantage to them from such a bring
ing together of the resources of tho
Ameilcas. as It Ih contemplated ani
desired to do. Many other reasons
could be given why a broader, moro
rational, better understood nnd more
common-sense Pnn-Amerlcn;i sentiment
hould exist between the peoplo of the
three Americas than Is now apparent
nnd ns to why the suspicion concern
ing the uttltude of the United States
toward them that has lain not wholly
or always dormant In the Latin Ameri
can republics should be wiped out for
all time. Among these would 1p the
building of nn Isthmian canal, the pos
sibility of a continental railway some
day connecting the two ends of the
hemisphere, the benefits nnd advant
ages In our relations with Latin Amer
ica that are certain to follow the as
similation among us of the Spanish
language since the Spanish war which
Is now going on In every direction and
the striking changes our relations and
business duallngs nnd contact with
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines
will bring about. These are nil factors
and things of Interest and value to nil
the people of the west em hemisphere,
and each and nil will be aided and
benefited to some degree In every way
by the holding of the Pan-American
exposition.
If this Intei national enterprise shall
therefore do aught In any of the direc
tions I have Indicated, and if It shall
In addition, or as a result, to any de
gree add something to the "better ac
quaintance" stock of the people of the
western hemisphere and thus tend to
bring to them nil a more accurate
knowledge than they now possess of
each other's needH and opportunities
and n truer appreciation of their In
dustrial Interdependence upon each
other, It will not have been created in
vain.

Is tho bright particular star. This tenor, ron
ceded by the critics to bo tho greatest now

would turn the head of a younger man. Although
now about 60 years of age, lie has lot nothing
In beauty of voice or virility of manner, while
his phrasing and method have not been equalled
In New York since the days of Campanlnl.
Only one novelty has been produced Puccini'
"La lloherne," and two revivals have been

The following clipping from a Musical Jour
nal is a true statement of the deplorable con
dition existing among many vocalists and In
strumentalists: "Nine-tenths of thwo who have
any success whatever have the customary "dwell
head.' Why is It so, don't they know that no
matter how well they slug that there are others
who sing Just as well If not better. Modesty
makes friends, keeps friends, helps to success.
Conceit Interrupts the natural flow In the mak
ing of friends, disgusts old frlemb, Interfere
vvtlh success. The biggest artists t ever knew,
ami I know' a lot, who are all natural, unaffected,
simply, studying, cvirdeamlng from their fellow
artists. Many a tale could I unfold of io-ralled
artists' doings of this supremelv disgusting Dig
head."

1 HEK POINT OF VIEW !
VKnv few of us caro to have much
celebration of our birthdays after
childhood p.if-ses. A favorite
quotation is that "Wo do not count a
man'H years until ho has nothing else
to count," und thus It "is that until
they draw near the century mark
wonren, especially, are not particularly
desirous of announcing the fact that
they have a birthday anniversary. AH
but one woman; I hoard of her tho
other day. She Is tho exception to the
rule. All the others rather naturally
avoid tho subject, because they never
can toll whnt It will produce in the
vvoy of unexpected Information. Thoy
have a good precedent, ns but one
woman's age Is mentioned In the Ivlble
and that only for a particular reason
not relative to theso remnrks. So It
Is probable that from time Immemorial
there wns no special attempt made by
femininity to call nttenldon of the
public to the flight of years In their
cases.
Hut, to return lo the subject. The
average woman pcldoin considers It
safe to bring up tho matter of age nird
birthdays for discussion. She never
can tell but some old tnbby of a friend
In the vicinity vvll! have a mental
chronological tablet which will show
thnt ".My John nnd Sarah Jane's El
len wero born tho same summer," or,
pei haps, tho same week, and the sub
sequent arithmetical calculations men
tally taken ttp by nil who hear are not
especially Interesting to the victim.
At nny rnte, tho topic of nge nnd
birthdays Is apt to caitbe one's ft lends
to look nt one a trllle critically and
take silent rrote ot nn added wrinkle,
or a gray hair hitherto undiscovered.
Hut the one woman who Is said to
defy tradition really d.erves a para
graph all to herself. They say of her
that she not only nnnounccs the fact
of one birthday, but often several.
She Is a widow, reasonably young,
ptetty nnd fascinating. She lives a
gay sort of life, spending her summers
nt fashlonnble resorts and visiting nt
hnndynme country places, while her
winters nro passed at house parties In
vnr loirs cities. Shci Is a great favorite
with women, ns well as men, nnd hns
a vnst circle of friends. Hut the world
Is small, nnd although my lady's wit
Is very nimble and her places of Hit
ting nro often far removed from each
other, yet by some mlschnnce of fnto
it happened the other day that two
men from widely different parts of the
globo met and compared notes of mu
tual acquaintances.
In the course of conversation, my
lady's nnmo was mentioned as being a
friend of both. After a time, one of
the men casually remnrked, "Did Mrs.
X. have n birthday when she was In
San Antonio?" "Why yes," replied
tho other In a dazed sort of fashion,
"Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I just thought I'd like to com
pare dnte," said the other, with a
smile. "When was It?"

That sayltifj seems to have ben lsvn
of the superstition deep rooted in ovr
inanity. It Is akin to tlint other sr.ys-.g
"He lnughs best who l.iughs last." Per
Imps in these nnd similar sayings there
is a survival of the old pagan belief that
a display of happiness was likely to in
cur the envy of the gods and to dtavv
down the visitation ot the malice which
is twin to envy.
It would be a ridiculous propositi?:! to
affirm that bad !s the necessity oulcorre
of I'ood. But just as ninny a ly which
begins with a cloudless sky "tadn in
stonu, ro many an event in life which
promibcs only happiness ends in disap
pointment and misery.
Tins is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul Into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way It begins. Af
ter a while she finds thnt it takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
hoiucnold cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into a chair many a
time and gives way to tears because of
her vveaUntfci and misery. The sky so
cloudlwn on the morning of marriage
baa soon become overcait.
Titr, cuiticai. timh
in many a "wnan's life cotircs just at
tills period f discouragement and de
spair. She finds indications of disease
of the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensatiou, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults phvsicinus,
takes prescribed treatments, aft to no
avail. And yet this woman's case Is
curable on the cvideuce of women who
have bun cured.
"Four ycais ago my health began to
fail," writes Mrs. Nellie M. Rcycraft,
of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon.
" I had a heavy dragging and weight in
the region of the uterus, pain in back
and loins, could not lift anything heavy,
rest at night very poor; stomach de
ranged. One physician said I was over
work 1, another sitd I had conges
tion and falling of uterus. He treated
me nine months arrd said I would not be
well until I .had passed the change of
life. I was only twenty-seven years old
then. I became discouraged, nnd began
using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Took a tenspoonful three times a day;
began feeling better right away. Am
using my third bottle now, nnd feel I nm
in good hoilth. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has restored me to health.
K suffering women would give It a fair
trial they would give it praise."
It can truthfully be said that there is
hardly a form of womanly disease med
ically curable which will not yield to the
faithful use of "Favorite Prescription."
More than this, it is a matter of record
that many forms of womanly disease pro
nounced " incurable by local physicians
have been perfectly and permanently
"The twenty-Hirst of June," answer
ed tho first speaker slowly. "Well,
she had another on the eleventh of
August," continued the smiling gen
tleman. "What did you offer at Jier
f-htlno?" "A turquolso buckle, which
she ndmlred that morning as wo wers
looking In nt a shop window."
"Yes, she likes turquoises," said tho
other, tel'ectlvely. "On her August
birthday I ransacked Ottawa to find
a matrix lint pin like one my sister
wore nnd which was often mentioned."
"Well, how on earth did you find
her out?" queried tho new acquaint
ance. "Pimply by nccldent," was the
icply. "I've visited at a number of
houses where she hns been, nnd
have known several men who
have been mote or leF,s smit
ten, lly comparing notes, we
found out that she generally had a
birthday whenever she found an en
tirely new party of people. Up to dat

cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
It is worth . noting that these cure
are lasting. Many medicines offered fo.
women's use are mere palliatives. Tlicv
numb the nerves nnd so dull thr. pnln,
Hut they do not le-cstabllsh the lost
vyomanly health. "Favorite Prcscrlp
tlon is a purely vegetable preparation
It contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic. It cannot
disagree with the weakest constitution
1 ?snu"s"M regularity, dries the dralni
which weaken women, heals iullamma
Hon nnd ulceration and curc3 female
weakness.
IT IS WOMAN'S WAY
to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
or child may have som i coveted pleasure.
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which arc undermining her
health, It Is a false economy. The
health of the wife and mother is the
most Important factor in the home life,
and every suffering woman who has been
cured by "Favorite Prescription'' Is a
witness to the real economy of thl
means of cure.
"My health is the best now that it has
been for four years," writes Mrs. Plicbc
Morris, of Ira, Cayugn Co., N.Y., Box 52.
"I have taken hut two bottles of your
medicine, 'Favorite Prescription' and
'Golden Medical Discovery.' These med
icines have done me more good than all
th.it I have ever taken before. I couldn't
do my 7tork only about half the time,
and now I can work all the time Jov a
family of four. Before I took your
medicines 1 was sick in bed nearly hall
the time. My advice to all who are
troubled with female weakness is to take
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
'Golden Medical Discovery the most
wonderful medicines In the world."
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, free. All letters arc held
in sacred confidence and womanly confi.
dences are guarded by strict professional
privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce
Buffalo, N. Y.
In a little more than thirty years Dr
Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute
Buffalo, N. Y., assisted by his staff of
nearly a score of physicians, lias treated
and curedhundrecls of thousands of sick
and suffering women.
If the dealer offers you a "just ai
good" medicine in place of "Favorite
Prescription" it is because less meriton
ous medicines pay him a little more
profit. His profit is your loss. Insist
upon having "Favorite Prescription " the
medicine which makes weak women
strong and sick women well.
TUB UHASON WHY.
Some medical works content them
selves by classifying advice under tire
head of "Do" or "Don't." Dr. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser gives
the reason why, for nil it enjoins. It is
a plain guide to health written in plain
j.uguMi uuu ucuuug wiui me great iiroo-
lems of physiology and hygiene from
tlie view point of common sense. This
great work containing 1008 large pages
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay
expense of mailing only. Send 31 one
cent stamps for the work in cloth bind
ing or only 21 stamps for the book in
paper-covers. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,

houses yet accounted for? Did she
ever show you her collection of
buckles?"
"Yes." was the sud reply. "She
brought them down the inornlnr; ot
lmr June birthday and wo looked them
over together out on the terrnce; that
was how I happened to think of the
turquoise one down town,"
"As I figure It up, sire's had forty
one birthdays In the Inst eight years,"
said the Man Who Had Found Her
Out. "I Judge by the number of
buckles and the pro rata estimate
based nn last season. By tho way,"
ho called after tho other iman. who
