' J THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION Vast Preparations for the Com ing Fair. If it had been the Bole purpose of Con gress, in eelecting the site for the World's Columbian Exposition, to cbooe loca tion hich in itself should illustrate the marvelous transforming power of Amer ican civilization, no more suggestive place coulU Lave len chosen than the city of Chicago. Seventy-nine years ago, within the memory of men living to day, a federal garrison of sixty-six men, on the lake front near the mouth of Chi rafo river, was surrounded by hostile in-dUni- The little community of scarcely a hundred settlers fled to the garrison for protection. August 15th, 1S12, heroic Captain Ileald marched forth with bis command, in the vain hope cf catting his way through the wilderness to Fort Wayne. As they proceeded along the lake front, within two or three miles of the site of the proposed exposition, they had a desperate battle with the Indians, and officers and men were massacred. It is related that little children were torn from their mothers' arms and tom ahan ked. The women fought like tigers in defense of their young, scorning the merry proCered them, and preferring rather to die with husband and family. Fort, garrison and settlement were prac tically wiped out, and this leas th&n eighty years ago, almost on the site of the World's Columbian Exposition of THE IMPERIAL CITY BY THE LAKE. The city of Chicago in itself will bean exhibition of American genius and p!m-k far superior to anything shown hhown upon the fair grounds. The year s;o fuund the city reduced almost en tirely to ashes, so that the magnificent Chicago of to-day is the outTow th of )- than a quarter of a century. With iu stately business blocks, so tail they almost exclude the light of day ita ho tels, many of them of world-wide fame, ar.d one of them so immense it can room and feed an entiie political convention, and furnish in its recesses a great hall apable of seating five thousand people ith its ornate and imposing public buildings, its broad and solidly paved streets traversed by lines of cable cars; its delightful drives along thirty-five miles of boulevards, from one hundred to three hundred feet in w idth, border ed w ith sliade trees and lined with band some and costly residences of every va riety of architecture with iU system of I arks extending almost entirely around the city, ornamented with heroic statues in marble and bronze and aoove all . with its charming outlook on Lake Michigan, the city of Chicago will be a revelation of beauty and enterprise to Americans and foreigners who visit it for the first time. As a city it is scarcely a half a century old. and yet it claims a population of over a nlion souls. State ptreet, mnning from north to south issev ectten miles long, while from the Lake to the western limit is a ten-mile walk, starting at the big Auditoriu n hotel, making the circuit of the Ike to Lin coln I'ark on the north, thence by Gage, Douglas, Humboldt and Washington parks is said to be a drive of twenty-four miles. CHARMING SITE FOR TCE FATE. Jackson Park is an ideal site for great international exposition. It con tains about 1000 acres, and is located on the lake shore, with the grounds gently sloping towards the water. Those weary of the wonders of the fair will find re lief in viewing the ever-varying beauties of the lake the blue of the sky reflect ing in its depths the changing tints, as sunshine and shadow chase each other across the waves the craft of every de scription moving hither and thither on its surface. To give increased beauty to the grounds the water of the lake has been introduced in lagoons, conducted around the various exposition buildings, lending a charming variety to the land- ticape and showing the various structures off to the best advantage, besides afford ing meaiM of recrration and enjoyment to thousands of visitors. The park will be accessible by street car lines, elevated aud steam railroads. The latter will have six parallel tracks running into the grounds in a huge circle at the extreme south-western section, and around this loop arriving and departing trains will sweep every few minutes. Lines of steamers will also land passengers on the pier at the grounds. 1 A ;H EXPEXDITt'EES OF MONEY. I'reparationg are being made with lav ish band by the people and municipali ty of Chicago for the comfort and enter tainment of their guests. The buildings now in course of erection w ill cost f 7, 000,000. The grading of the grounds, steam and electrical plants, and the ex penses of operating, organization and ad ministration will cost ? 10,000,000, mak ing a total expenditure of 517,000,000. To meet this expense the people of Chi cago have raised $5,G0S,1 10 by stock sub scrihtion, and the city of Chicago has is sued bonds to the amount of (5,000,000 more. The United aviates government Las made an appropriation of $1,710,000, and the Columbian Commission propose to atk Congress for fo ,000,000 more. Twenty-eight States have made appropri ations aggregating $2,f!l3,000, for the erection of State buildings and furtherinj the general interests of the exposition mi; Kin their limits. Among others, I'ennsylvania will erect and furnish a State building at a cost of (75,000. This structure w ill stan' on one of the most delightful spots within the grounds, con veniently near the Fifty-reventh street entrance and the Illinois Central depot, and commanding a view of the lake and Art Palace. In this immediate vicinity a hundred acres are being laid out f jr State buildings, each to be surrounded by a lawn, and all varying in size and style of architecture. a city or pal ires. People who have not recently visited Chicago have no idea of the magnitude or the preparations for the fair. The g tjunds have been laid out and the b lildings projected upon a larger scale th vn the public has dreamed of. They will occupy three times tLe space cover- el by the Paris Fx position and twice the " space coveted by the Centennial Exposi Lion in Philadelphia, and will suipass those of any previous W-.rld's Fair in the splendor of their adornment. They will . have a total frontage of more than two miles. They will be in themselves one of the main attractions of the fair, and their gilded demef, colossal pillars and splendid proportions w ill be recalled long t after the displays in them have been for gotten. These immense structures have been grouped in such a way aa to pro dace the most impressive spectacle. They will be covered with "staff," a piatttic material composed of Piaster of Varis. cement end hemp, poured into molds of various sixes and forms, and rant to represent friers and statues, bas re!ie& and Corinthian columns. This "staar," colored to represtnt marble or granite, and fashioned into shapes sug gested by the best architectural talent of the country, will give the Exposition buildings the appearance of a city of huge aad graceful stone palaces. THE LA HOIST Bt ILDl Sli IN THE WORLD. The Minnfictures and Liberal Arts t nt'.d'pg will be the largest structure ever erected. It will be 1,700 feet long, 800 ftet wide, covering 01 acres, and being X) feet longer and twice as wide as the largest buildicg at the Paris Exposition. It will be surrounded by a porch two sto ries high, affording a delightful prom e nade and a view of the other . buildings on the lagoon. The four main entrances will represent triumphal arches 40 feet w ide and b0 feet high. The Cirl and Her Lover. She was a fashion writer. She also bad a column in the Magazine w hich was devoted to answering all the letters that damsels, whose complexions were not just what they desired, whose sweet hearts did not behave as they wished, who had doubts as to their religious be lief, and wanted cores, not only for freck les, but for souls, sought knowledge. She was rxsad to being asked the exact length of Cleopatra's nose, the color of Eve's hair and the family name of Queen Victoria. She gave her opinion as to the propriety of kissing games, gave ad vice as to dressing a bride or a graduate, but she did get desperately tired when a girl would write sixteen pages about the " gentleman who was keeping company with her." To Ler most intimate friend the miserable fashion writer told this story: Said she : " A letter came for me, writ ten in the usual fashion, and in which a girl said that she had been keeping company with a young man for two years; that he didn't have much mon ey, and did I advise her to marry him and go to boarding or to wait a few months and collect enough furniture to make a little home for themselves? I got immensely interested. I wrote to that girl and advised her to wait the three aionths and have a home to start with, aud I gave her a lot of advice and a few suggestions that I thought might help her along. I never heard any more of her, but last week, w hen I w as shopping a young woman tapped me on the shoul der and asked very modestly : Are you Mrs. Dash 7" She wore a hat trimmed with roses and very, very w ide pale blue streamers down her back. Her coat was a light one, with enormous pearl buttons upon it, and her gloves were white. Upon her face was the most delighted expression possible. She looked so hap py that it absolutely rested the shop girls. Then she explained herself. I s'pose I ought to be ashamed of myself one lady speaking to another in this way but I'm Mrs. Frilkins. Of course, you don't know me by my name now, but I always read your magazine, and last year I wrote you a letter askin you whether I bad better wait until we had enough to set up housekeeping. You wrote me a beautiful letter you told me how to be noble and honorable with my husband and to be affectionate and always glad to see him, and then you told me to wait for a home. It was a mighty lucky thing you said that, 'cause I had made up my mind to do exactly what you told me. I've got the fiat and you see how I am dressed, and I am buying some sewing silk to use to make a little wrapper with. You've done more for me than any woman in the world." " I can't tell yon just how this affected me: I felt the tears come into my eyes and I thought, 'well after all, the letters do some good.'

FUNERALS AT OIL CITY. Distressing Scenes Seven of One Family Interred. Oil Citt, June 7. To-day the funeral rites over twenty-two bodies of the vic tims of the fire and flood were held, and never were sadder or more impressive scene w itnessed. Those buried to-day Myrtie Hawks, aged fourteen ; Frank Watson, fourteen ; the Mills family Edwin, thirty-eight; Mary, thirty-five; Emily, thirteen ; Edith, three ; Florence, eleven ; Amy, eight ; Mud, five ; J. L. Dors worth, forty-six; J. B. Kenold, forty-five; Emma Eriggs, eighteen ; Simon P. Steck, seventy-three ; W. D. Eaken. These were buried in Grove Hill ceme tery. William Haasenfritr, Mrs. OTeary and son John, Edward Keating, Bartholomew Lyons, w ife and child, and Daniel Sulli van were buried in St Joseph's Ceme tery. To the accompaniment of chant, lam entations and weeping, the bodies were lowered to their final resting places. Many of those present lost all control of themselves, and thrir lamentations were loud and boisterous and several fainted And went into hysterics. All seemed re lieved when the ceremonies were over. Sad indeed were the ceremonies. Those of John Reinbold were especially heart rending. It was almost impossible to prevent some of the family from cast ing themselves into the open grave. But of all the scenes, those attending the funeral oi Edwin Mills, wife and five childreb were the saddest to be imag ined. Every member of this family was lost in the terrible flood, Not a relative or kin was left in all this broad land of ours to mourn their death even to place a flower on the graves ; none to weep for them; none to mourn. But they lacked not kind-hearted mourning and heart broken friends anil former neighbors. The seven pieces of clay were laid side by side and under the auspices of the I. O. 0. F the family united in life and death, were lowered to their last earthly home. No one was there to drop a tear into the graves, and, though unaccom panied by relatives, their last resting place was none the less honored. The funerals took the best part of the day. In conformity with a proclamation is sued by Mayor Hunt, all business places were closed and most of the business houses and dwellings draped in mourn ing. The searchers for the dead, those cleaning and clearing away the ruins, and the Relief Committee and aids had no rest, and results already accomplished are most wonderful and highly satisfac tory. The unclaimed telegrams awaiting persons in the offices of the Western Union and Postal Companies is another evidence of the indisputable fact that many are dead who have not yet been heard of. At least forty telegrams are here addressed to persons who are un known, and whose personality is hard to identify. Most of these are persons pre sumed to be foreigners. This carries out the claim that many foreigners who were working in the tube works and bar rel factory were killed One peculiar feature of this disaster is that there are no young children left or phans. The children were the ones which most quickly succumbed to the flood and fire, and not a case of a desti tute orphan child has yet been reported- St. Vincent Beer tax. Washinctox, June 2. Attorney Charles F. McKenna, of Pittsburg, and Arch-Abbott Hinieuacb. of St Vinoe nt's College, Latrobe, called on Internal Revenue Commiasionr Mason to-day in reference to the Govern ment tax on the beer brewel at this in stitution. Mr. McKenna stated that before the Brooks law went into effect the Benedictine monks at latrobe conducted a prosperous brewery, the product of which had a large sale throughout the United btates, as well as abroad. But when the Brooks law was enforced the late Arcb- ALbott Wi miner refused to apply for brewers license, claiming that possibly scandal might arise if the news went abroad that a collegiate institution was engaged in the business of making beer. The monks continued, however, to brew beer for their own use and that of their stuJents and bands engaged on the farm, though they ceased its sale. Mr. McKenna protested against the action of the local In ternal Revenue Collector at Latrobe in ex acting the tax for the beer now manufac tured at St. Yiucent's for private consump tion and not for sale. He a;ked that the department give a ruling in the matter. Mr. Mason said the case would have to bs referred to the Attorney General for deci sion. The Attorney General was then call ed upon by Mr. McKenna and Father Hint- enach. Mr. Miller said that he would fix a day for the hearing of the case and then would render his opinion This, he says, is the most remarkable case that has come un der the notice of the Internal Revenue De partment. St incent'i is said to be the only religious institution in the country where beer u brewed.

Daniel Kelly, of Plymouth, aud his wife have been arrest ed charged with destroying the headstone and otherwise desecrating lue grave of the woman s first husband. The Kellys lived near the cemetery in sight of the grave and Kelly became jealoua of the corpse. He thought Mrs. Kelly grieved after her first husband, and he conceived the idea that if the grave-stone was removed . the woman would forget bis dead rival for her affec tions. The brad stone has disappeared em irely nJ the grave has been leveled, leaving no earthly trace of Mrs. Kelly's former partner. Both Mr. and Mrs. Keily were suspected and have been held for trial.

Downfall of a Proud Fork. A knife, a fork, and a spoon were th rown together upon the kitchen table bv a careless servant The fork eved his companion with disdain, and began talking in a very patronizing manner. " How dreadfully dull you lutist find life, now that you are so out of the swim '." he said to the spoon. " Why, in what way do you mean that I am out of the swim V queried the BjMxn, in a quiet voice. "O, you are comparatively little used nowadays," answered the fork loftily. "Time was when the knife, fork and spoon were quite important in their way but now the fork is the only really nec- eary table implement" " How perfectly absurd such a state ment is !" cried the knife, indignantly. " But it is quite like your egotism. Who ever heard you mentioned save as second tome? 'A knife and a fork, people say, never 'a fork and a knife.' That shows where your place is in the estima tion of the public" " O, that is merely a habit of speech into which people have fallen," returned the fork. It does rot alter facts. You very well know that you often lie unno ticed and unused through an entire din ner, or until the chee come in. In deed, yesterday you were left in the drawer, wmie l nil the honors ot a luncheon that our mistress gave to one of her friends." " You forget," gently interposed the spoon : " I was there, and I saw the lady lock about as if seeking something. I am quite sure she missed you" address ing the knife with a sympathetic air which showed her good breeding. " I once heard a lady remark that one felt very uncomfortable at the table without a knife, whether one needed it or not" " I would rather my absence than my presence were regretted," cried the knife, tuny glistening witn rage, and casting a cutting glance at the fork. u, wen, wnen you are wanted it is only to prepare things for me. You are a sort of underservant to make things easy for me," said the fork, aggravating- ly, and adding: "I am the only one who can be called a real table aristocrat" " I am sure your family is much newer than mine," retorted the knife ; "lean trace my pedigree back as far as history goes, that is more than you can do." " Yes, but if you go back very far you find that your ancestors were nie.-e butch ers. I should not want such a pedigree myself. I should much prefer to be re cent and refined, like the fork family." "And I do not know why you should try to hold your head above the spoon, " continued the knife, now in turn defend ing his sympathetic companion. " Who ever heard of a souvenir fork ? and the whole world is mad about souvenir spoons." This threw the fork into terrible wrath and he began t j make a great noise and fuss, when the mistress entered the kitch en. " What is all this rattling of the silver that I hear, Bridget?" she asked, and immediately she cried out : " O here vou have thrown a fork down with a knife and spoon. I have told you over and over again not to do that Just see how the knife and spoon are scratched by th e fork 1 This pearl-handled knife was one of a set given me as a wedding present. and this spoon is an heirloom. I value luem Doin highly, uy the way, 1 see that the plate is wearing off this fork, Bridget You may put it aside among the cooking utensils. So the proud fork was thereafter kept in a kitchen-drawer and put to menial uses. It never ngnin appeared among the silver and cut-glass. Ilarjr's Young The Boy Critic.

There are two rival blind men asking alms in front of one of the New Orleans churches every Sunday morning, and it is a sight to see them eye each other joaioosly. An old bachelor says he's been so cflen deceived by the chicken of the restau rants and boarding houses that he calls it "mocking-bird." The Way Women do. If men were as economical in their so cial relations as women are we would not be such a nation of spendthrifts," said T. B. Rose, of Minneapolis. I was impressed with the force of this idea to day by an observation begun in a cab'e car and pursued througa a dry goods es tablishment and a restaurant I saw two ladies chatting together intimately on a car, and when the conductor approached them to collect the fares one of them had no change. The other offered to pay for her companion's ride, but the latter wouldn't submit to the proposition. In stead she borrowed a nickel from her friend, remarking as she did so that she would break a bill as soon as she got down town and repay her. My curiosity was excited to see if women dealt that way with one another, so I followed the two after they got offthe car. They firBt entered a dry goods store, where the bor rower made a small purchase, and as soon as she got her change she handed her friend five cents, which was received without the slightest protest " Then tley went into a restaurant to get lunch. Kach gave separate orders and the bill of each amounted to thirty cents. They marched up to the cashier and each paid her own bill. Xow, these are small transactions, but they are indi cative of the difference in the characters of men and women. Had the objects of my observation been men i nstead of women, the man who offered to borrow a nickel for car fare would have insulted the other, and one of them would have ordered that dinner for both and paid the bill, which, I may as well say, would have amounted to dollars instead of cents." St. LoxiU Glubt-Ih. mocrat. Beaver Would Honor Dixie. Gettbi'Ku, Fa., June 1. A great throng of prople gathered on the battle-field of Get tysburg to-day to witness the dedication of the " High-Water Mark'' monument. This monument is so called because it is set on the exact spot where the most advanced line of the Confederate army was halted at the great conflict, July 3, 1303. Governor Pattison and a distinguished party of State officials were present Colonel Bachelder received a telegram this morning from Private Secretary Hal ford saying that President Harrison found it im possible to attend the dedication. The Ma rine Band, however, arrived and its music served to allay the disappointment The exercises at the monument began at 1 o'clock. Eev. K. W. McKnight of Pennsyl vania College, opened with prayer. Edward McPherson extended a welcome to the bat tlefield. CoL John B. Beachelder told why the copse of trees was called the high-water mark. Samuel M. Swope, of Gettysburg, unveiled and presented the monument to the Memorial Asseciation, and John M. Yanderslice, of Philadelphia, received it Ex-Governor Jarues A. Beaver delivered the oration, and speeches were made by Gener als Schotield, Slocum and others. A BEX AKKABLC 6PEKCH. General Beaver's speech was a remarka ble one, owing to the strong position he took in regard to erecting Confederate monu ments on the battlefield to mark the tui tions and movements of the Army of Vir ginia.

GrTHia,O.T,June2 The southbound Sinte Fe passenger train was held np la?t night by masked robbers, at Red Rock, iu the Cherokee Strip. The engineer and Cri men were taken prisoners. The robbers then entered the express car, broke open the safe and secured its contents. The roobbers secured only about $100 from the express box and t-' and a gold watch belonging to one of the messengers. They were unlucky in the selection of the nigh', as only two nights prior to last night the same train carried $o0.000. A large poe left Guthrie at daylight for the scene. Bound to Use a "K." There was once in Eastern Tenncsee judge well versed in the law, but entire ly self-educated, w ho had this same ob stacle of orthography to contend with all his days. In early life he had lived in Knoxville, and for a long time insiat- ed upon spelling the name Xoxville. His friends at last educated him np to the point of adding the K; so thorough ly, in fact, did he learn this lesson that when a few years afterward he removed to Nashville, nothing could prevent him from spelling the name " Knashville." After a few years' residence there the judge moved again, this time to Mur- freesboro. One day he sat down to write his first letter from this place.
