"The large amount of money that
will be spent in the construction of the
exposition will be of great benefit to
our city," ho said. "At St. Louis more
than $50,000,000 was spent to build
that world's fair and possibly that
much more on the outside of that
world's fair. And If that amount was
spent for an exposition in a city of
600,000 Inhabitants how much more
will be spent In New York, with a
population of 5,000,000?"

SENATORIAL CANDIDATE.
To tho Democratic Voters of the
Fourteenth Senatorial District of
Pennsylvania:
I hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the office of Senator'
from the Fourteenth Senatorial Dls-
trlct, composed of the counties of
Carbon, Monroe, Wayne and Pike, at
the election to nominate a candidate,
for tho said office to be held on Sat
urday, June 4th. A. D. 1910.
Wayne and Pike counties having
no candidates to present to the vot
ers of this district, all questions as
to the right of Monroe county to
this nomination would seem to have
been e,im,nated
,The late Senator Hon. David S.
Lee, of Monroe county, whose term
extended from 1889 to 1902, inclu
sive, was succeeded by Hon. J. G.
Kern, of Carbon county, wnose term
extended from 1903 to 1906, Inclu-'
slve; and the latter was succeeded j
by Hon. G. Frank Rowland, of PIke
county, whose unexpired term was
filled by his brother, .ion. Miles C.
Rowland, the full term extending
from 1907 to 1910, inclusive.
It would seem, therefore, that
with no candidates and no claims
upon the part of Wayne and Pike
counties, and Carbon county having
been represented since Monroe, In
accordance not only with the old
rule of rotation, but also from the
standpoint of right, of justice and
of fair play, there is now no room
for any o.uestlon or any discussion
as to the right and claim of Monroe
county to the nomination referred
to.
As a member of the Democratic
party of Monroe county, therefore,
believing under the law and the pre
cedents of the party, It is my right
to submit my candidacy to the fair
and Impartial consideration of the
voters of tills district, I announce
myself as a candidate for tho office
above mentioned; hereby pledging
myself. In tho event of my nomina
tion and election, to devote my time
and attention and the very best ser
vice of which I am capable, to tho
promotion of the interests and tho
welfare of all tho people of the
counties composing this Senatorial
District.
Very sincerely yours,

AMERICAN MATADOR GORED.
Young Texas Bullfighter Fatally In
jured In Ring.
City of Mexico, .May lO.-Harper B.
Lee, Hurvurd graduate and young
American bullfighter, whoso prowess
In the ring has aroused the Jealousy of
native and Spanish matadors, Is dying
at u hospital as the result of having
been fatally gored during n fight at
Guadalajara.
In his last light Lee showed even
more nerve thiwi he has before exhib
ited. Though critically gored, he killed
the bull and walked to the stand,
where he fell. The Mexican spectators
were astounded by the courage he dis
played. They could see he had been
wounded In a ghastly manner, and
they expected that he would fall be
fore the second charge of tho bull and
be trampled to death. But after he
had been knocked down as the horn of
the Infuriated animal sank deep into
his body ho arose before tho animal
could turn. As the bull made for him
ho doftly thrust his sword luto a vital
spot, and tho animal fell dead.
Tho nerve ho displayed was so star
tling that the spectators wero thrown
Into a furor. They would have cheered
him, but wero too frightened. Then
when ho fell at the staud they realized
that cheers were out of place.
Since Leo's appearance hero last year
ho has been In demand In every part
of tho country where bullfighting ls
practiced. Ho had come from a ranch
In Texas where he had been a cow
man for several years.
