PROGRESS OF THE
PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Great Progress Being
Made on the Various
Buildings and Their
Decoration.
San Diego Calif., The arriv
al of exbitits for San Diego's
Panama California Exposition
has started on a coniderahie
scale with the receipt of impor
tant permanent feature of the
California State? building. Eight
of the great monuments of the
Mayas, recovered from the ruins
of the ancient city of Quiragua,
are already on the grounds,
hearalding the later exhibits
which will constitute some of
the most valuable contributions
to contemporary ethnological re
search. The eight large pieces the
largest standing thirty feet and
weighing approximately 1,000,
OOOpounds in the original sand
stone, were discovered some
what more than a year ago after
painful and dangerous explora
tion of the jungle country of the
Motagua valley in Guatamala,
sixty miles from the coast. With
the village located, the scien
tists' materials were brought
over the International Railways
then over a temporary tram,
and then by pack, gang of na
tives with machetes forcing the
way through the tropical jungle.
The city, dating back hun
dreds, possibly thousands of
years before the Christian era,
is believed to have fallen at a
bout the time of the Roman Em
pire, but the relics discovered
are so well preserved as to make
the hieroglyphics easily trans
latable if later research uncov
ers the key The only points
proved at present are that the
Mayas pjople while possibiy less
veiile than the Aztecs orlncas,
were further advanced in jiart,
in fact probably the peers of
their contemporaries in Europe,
Asia or northern Africa. The
great monuments appear to be
rulers in their theocracy, rather
than deities. The dates 3975 and
3980 are found, but there is no
key as to what event they chose
as an era from which they dated
their time.
It is worthy oi note that in
making the casts from the or
iginals the Exposition's ex
plorersmainly from the Smith
sonian Institute and the School
of Archaeology for the first
time made use of the modern
glue moulds instead of the old
time plaster cast. By this means
the finest hair lines of the
Merogyphics were preserved in
tact, and transferred to the
Plaster are really more legible
than on the original sandstone.
The eight great figures will
stand in the rotunda of the
State building, all artificially
colored so as to represent ac
curately the originals in the
Central American buried city.
There is a vast amount of smal
ler exhibits brought from Quiri
gua with this shipment, and a
httle later more of the impor
tant display from Central and
outh America will arrive. It
ls Possible the continued study
f the relics which the Exposi
tnn has brought back to civili
zation may produce some vague
understanding of the hierogly
phs before the display js for
mally presented to the puolic.
o
A dozen large panels, replicas
. 01 the famous group by Sallie
: ames Farham in the Pan-Amer-!can
Union buiding at Wash
n2ton, have arrived and are
being set in the entrance to the
rotunda of the California build
ing at the San Diego Exposi
tion. They are the cnlv r eplicas
the government has allowed to
be made, and are already at
tracting wide attention among
artists.
The panels show striking
everts in the earlv history of
the western world, among them
the discovery by Columbus, Bal
boa's arrival at the Pacific, the
meeting of Champlain with the
Iroquois the triumphant march
es of Cortezand Pizarro. scenes
from the earlv days of Chile,
and symbolic figures with orna
ornamentai work taken from
the detail of the ancient nations'
temples.

Another detachment of Indians
from tne Srn lldefonso reserva
tion will arrive next veek at
the San Diego Exposition to join
the earlier arrival at the Paint
ed Desert, which the red men
are helping to construct. All the
thatching of ths Indian villiages
done by the Indians, and the
enlarged delegation will have
charge of placing the adobe on
the frame work which has been
rising for the last month and is
now entirely ready for the outer
coat. Several women and girls
will be included in the coming
detachment, all of them to re
main, with Indians from the
other tribes of plain and puebol.

The Record,
Gentlemen:
While in Warren
last year I caught the disease,
so prevalent there among the
good people, of living greatly in
the nast ; were 1 not so bus j 1
expect that I would be in this
wise just like the people of my
old home. I had a spell that I
had contractel there, when I
wrote the letter within. to which
I hand you the reply. If I could,
for my o-vn amusement. I
would write up'ths njd Bronlow
Hotel as I knew it. I lived near
it and I know much of it that is
of interest, for the most promi
ne nt men of N. C. used to come
to it. It was a great place for
the politicians of the State. J.
thought I would send you these
letters and let you enjoy the
uniqueness presented. Your
paper comes regularly to me and
I like it very much. I trust old
Warren will have a good big
crop this year.
Very sincerely.

Mr. E. C. Yellowlev,
San Antonio,
Texas.
Dear Sir:
I see by today's Daily
Express that your father has
died, and that you have returned
from Miss. 1 think I knew, a
long time ago. your father, ana
not having hard from him
since I have been in Texas, -1 am
asking you did not your father
go to school in Warrenton N.C.
about the y.ar 1868 and was he
not a kinsman of Dr. Brownlow
and the Edwards family living
in Warrenton? Was not your
father named Jim and did noi
the B. in his name stand for
Brownlow of this I am not
sure? If I am right? I knew
vour father well, and he used to
visit our home often and when
he lived in Warrenton with Dr.
Brownlow was a pupil at the
Warrenton Academy. I went to
school at the same tme, but was
much younger than your father.
If I am right, I knew him well
not only in the days referred to,
but before, while t le war was
waging. He went to school
then. When I was making out
my income report sometime
since, I saw your name, and de
termined to huntjyou up, when in
San Antonic, but when in San
Antonino since, was in such a
hurrvj had no time. I seejjyou
are still in the government ser
vice. T trust I will see you,
when in San Antonio sometime.
I am sorry to learn of the
death of your father. t your
convenience let me have a line
from you. ,
With due respect.
I am very sincerly,
DAN T. PRICfc.

On my return to this office
after an absence of several days
found your highly, appreciated
letter of Jane 18th.
The gentleman you referred to
in your letter was my father,
who died m Jackson, Miss., on
June 6th.
Since receiving vour letter I

your name many times in con
nection with his early school
days, all of which, were spent
in North Carolina. Am satisfied
you: remember my father's
Aunt Miss Ellen D. Brownlow,
at whose home my faiher lived
when he was quite a boy. Aunt
Ellen is still living and resides
in Raleigh. She will be 88 years
old September 18th. She is a
very remarkable woman for her
age. I hear from her regularly
and I will certainly take a
great deal of pleasure in men
tioning the fact that you had
made inquiries of my father.
Sometimes I may visit Yoak
um and if I do I shall certainly
Iook you up and when you visit
