The great development of m: .-floss vehiclej, certain wonderful ad y.t:n cs in the rield of electricity, the wire-f-- telegrah, the submarine boat and the l-i.i.-ti. alile living machine all of which are pecial features at St. Louis are, for iixhi'ioe, matters of the period since the Cl'-.vMiro event. To my mind, however, the f'Me distinctive feature which places it alu-ad i all other world's fairs is the com jui in-n.-ive Philippine exhibit. Ahead also t any previous showing are the individual buildings of eight of the foreign nations uin. taking everything into consideration, architectural and landscape gardening K-hicvcments are greater as they ought to ho with the world older. One of the greatest, and certainly one of the most agreeable, of my many surprises was ! he supreme beauty of the main group oi Windings. For the simple reason that the camera does not exist which could take in the vast picture as the eye sees it, the early views of the group a bit here and a bit there gave a scant idea of the scheme as a whole. Nor did the earlv views of the ten individual buildings which make up its component parts do justice to their nobility of architecture and general grandeur. Then again in the ground plans and bird's-eye sketches the only possible manner of sliowing it the fan-sL;aj-?d ar rangement of this group looked 6uff and unsatisfying. Far from that it is quite as iem uk able in its way as the famous Court of Honor of the Columbian Exposition. In one respect it is even more notable, for in stead of two grand vistas it offers a dozen. 1 he main vista is, of course, the one look i'u u; the Plaza of St. Louis whose GOLDEN CHANS. M. Max Rests AVore Golden Handcuffs For Years. It will bo remembered, says the Westminster Gazette, that some years ago M. Max Regis was presented by a group of lady admirers with a pair of Jjolden handcuffs, in commemoration of his arrest and imprisonment in the great cause of Nationalism. The Anti-Semite swore that he would wear the manacles as souvenir bracelets for the remainder of his life. For some time Le kept his promise, and then it was observed that he had abandoned his decorative fetters. Why? Was it infidelity to the cause, or what? Peo ple wondered, and could get no satis factory answer, until a few days ago there was a public sale of unredeemed pledges from the Mont de Piete. The golden handcuffs (weighing forty-five grammes) were included in the cata logue. M. Regis having deposited them with "ma tante" to relieve a tempo rary indigence, and having neglected to recover them. To complete the irony of the situation, they were pur chased by a Hebrew, who now wears them in the streets of Algiers and ex hibits them to all his friends. Dr. Hale an LX.L. Dr. Edward Everette Hale is now an LL. D. of Williams College, from which his father graduated just 100 years ago. The doctor read an extract from Lis parent's graduating address, vhk-h dwelt with the question "Hr.s There Been a Progressive. Improve ment in Society in the Last Fifty Years?" Dr. Hale jocosely remarked thit a century ago the boys appeared to be wrestling with the same prob lems as are now discussed. 1 . i - : ' -'. ; --; : ':i '., V4zV ' ' .'.-V'" ' ' ... ;:: ' ? . : : ":: A . :vs - :',? -' ;??.''.

For its handle the fan has the Cascade Hardens rising in a grand terrace to a height of sixty-five feet above the floor level of the buildings mentioned and crowned by the great Festival IlalL the Jerrace of States and the EaHt and West Pavilions and the Fine Arts building di rectly behind. In the architecture of the group there is no uniformity of style. The very liberal use of great columns gives the four build ings fronting on the Plaza and Basin a certain architectural kinship, but the Mines buildinjt. with its two huge obelisks and somewhat Egyptian aspect; the much turreted and be! fried Machinery building; ine nign.y ornate transportation building, with its gigantic arches and pylons, and PALACE OF MINES AND METALLURGY. the Romanesque Liberal Arts buildiug have pronounced individuality. Yet in the general picture all these buildings blend hnely. Nor is there any clashing in the case of the French Ionic style of the build ings of Cascade Gardens. Twelve hand some bridges across the waterways, which form a figure eight by running from the Grand Basin around the Electricity and Education buildings, further contribute to the architectural splendor of the scene. Rows of fine, large maples set off the buildings in the main vista, adding im measureably to the beauty of the picture and furnishing one of the many demonstra tions of the superiority of this exposition in the matter of landscape gardening. There are also many trees to set off the other buildings of the group, shrubbery and small trees have been used in profu sion around the entrances and the bridges and there are handsome sunken gardens in two places. .The landscape treatment of Cascade Hill is similarly fine. The Philippine section covers no less than forty-seven acres, has 100 buildings and some 7.3,000 catalogued exhibits, and represents an outlay of over a million dol lars. A week could easily be spent there to advantage. Entrance to the section is free, but twenty-five cents is charged to go into each of the four native villages, which are intensely interesting. The villages run along Arrowhead Lake, and the inhabi tants all have some way of entertaining their visitors. The Igorottes. who wear as little clothing as the law of even savage lands allow; Bontocs, Tinganues and Suy ocs are in one village; the lake-dwelling Moros and Bogoboj in another; the black Negritos in the third and the civilized Vis cavans, who have a Catholic Church and a theatre, in the fourth. As a matter of ed ucation this. great encampment of the "lit tle brown men" is one thing that no Amer ican can afford to miss. Eight of the numerojxs buildings of for- ONE HUNDRED FOR AN EGG. An Indian Game Fowl That Is Very Val uable. Not often does the price of a single egg climb to $100, but this is what was offered for each of the eggs -of a cer tain Indian game . hen, which was brought to England some time ago. For centuries the Indian game, or Azeel fowls, have been the very apex of the game breed, for the puneness of blood and pedigree have been most carefully preserved for so long that the date of the origin of the race has been lost in the past. It is almost impossible to procure specimens of the purest blood, for they are treasured by the Indian sportsman at the highest value. As game fowl they are great fight ers. Those who have seeji them in In diafor the finest birds never reach our coldei climates tell of their prow ess and ungovernable tenacity in bat tle. With them it is always victory or death. In America, however, the" game fowls are seldom raised for fighting pur poses, tut for show, and as pets and hobbies of poultry fanciers. Country Life in America. A Modest Englishman. Like the traditional Englishman, Ar thur Stanley, Dean of Westminster, wore home from his first visit to Amerio an expression of amazement whieb only time could efface He was at once beset by interviewers, w'ho asked the usual questions. "What was the thing which most impressed you in America?" was one of these. Without a moment's hesitation Dean Stanley replied: "My own ignorance."

Das Deutsche Hans, is a reproduction of Cbax lottenburg fckhlons, 450 feet long and finely located on an eminence overlooking Cas cade Gardens. The interior as well as the exterior is a faithful reproduction of the paiaoei Uoltelin tapestries, the old Char lottenburg furniture and the Kaiser's wed ding silver having been brought over for the superb apartments. Nearly a mile to the westward France has reproduced, at a cost of half a million dollars, the Grand Trianon, the building and great garden covering fifteen acres. Great Britain has a copy of the banqueting hall of Kensington raiace; .Japan, trie bins i t -'i hinden Palace, one of several buildings in a characteristic park, and China, the country seat of Prince Pa Lun. Italy has a superb Graeeo-ltoman temple, Austria an architectural glorifica tion of Moderne Kun.t, and Belgium a magnificent structure from an original de sign. Lesser reproduction of note are the tomb of Etmad-I)owlah. by East India, and the new Bangkok temple, by Siara. The Pike has in the Tyrolean Alps the finest concession that I have ever seen. There is a great square with many quaint buildings, a little village street, and above the snow-clad mountains which look very real as the evening falls. The best sceDic railroad yet devised affords several fine glimpses of the Alps, and there is a very graphic exposition ot the Oberammergau passion play in the liti'e church. . The Cliff Dwellers' concession also looks very realistic at nightfall. It is elaborate in ar rangement, and the courting, snake and other dances by the Southwestern Indians make it another of the Pike shows which should be taken in by all. In Seville there is an amusing marionette theatre and some genuine Spanish dancing. For the rest the Pike offers infinite variety, and as a rule the full money's worth is given. The enor mous Jerusalem and Boer Yar concessions are not on the Pike. It is a case of dine at the German Pa vilion and die at the Exposition. In a beautiful Moderne Kunst building adjoin ing Das Deutsche Ilaus the best food and the highest prices on the grounds are to be found, the table d'hote lunch and dinner costing $2 and $3, respectively. There is also a la carte service. Everything consid ered the prices are not excessive, and at least one meal should be taken there for the experience. Another should be taken at the Tyrolean Alps, either outdoors or in the gorgeous dining room in the mountain side. The best irench restaurant is at Paris, on the Pike. Lower in prices and in every way admirable are the two restau rants conducted by Mrs. Rorer in the pa vilions of Cascade Gardens. The east one has waitresses and no beer and the west one waiters and beer. For a bit of lunch Germany, France and England all offer de licious pastry in the. Agricultural building. These are not free ads., but tim-saving tips for the traveler. There are no end of restaurants to fit all purses on the grounds. THE SILENCE OF BUTTERFLIES. This Insect Represents a Truly Silent World. After all, the chief charm of this race of winged flowers does not lie in their varied and brilliant beauty, not yet in their wonderful series of transforma tions, in their long and sordid caterpil lar life, their long slumber In the chrysalis, or the very brief period which comprises their beauty, their love making, their parentage and their death. Nor does it lie in the fact that we do not yet certainly know whether they have in the caterpillar shape the faculty of sight or not, and do not even know the precise use of their most conspicuous organ in maturity, the an tennae. Nor does it consist in this that they of all created things have furnished man with the symbol of his own immortality. It rather lies In the fact that, with all their varied life and activity, they represent an absolutely silent world. All the vast ar ray of modern knowledge has found no butterfly which murmurs with an audible voice and only a few species which can even audibly click or rus tle with their wings. T. W. Higgin son, in Atlantic. The Playwright's Complaint. A popular author, who has lately turned to play writing, has not suc ceeded in impressing managers with the availability of his productions. Not long ago, thinking to get some useful pointers from the current dra ma, he made an observatipn tour of the theatres. "Well," he remarked to a friend at the end of the evening, "I seem to be the only man alive who can't get a jKo- olay put on." Harpeifs Weekly. entirely Tea Much Rain In Many ftet tlen. United Bute Department of Agri culture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Buret a. North Carolina Section, for the week ending Monday, August 8th: Continued cloudy and showery weather has prevailed dur ing the week, which kept tba tempera ture below the normal, and proved not very satisfactory for the principal crops. The soil ha been kept too wet for the completion of laying by cot ton, which should he in full progress, and a number of field in the central part of the State are becoming very weedy. All crops have made an ex cellent growth, and are looking heal thy and fresh; corn in particular has made satisfactory advancement, and the stands are everywhere considered the best for a number of years. Cot ton is growing rapidly, but in most sections it is feared that the growth is too rapid and that too much of the strength is taken up by the weed. The squares and the fruit, however, art well grown, and are well distributed over the plant. The crop has suffered considerably from the continued wet spell, by being caused to shed; and this complaint is becoming general in the eastern and central counties, and in a few scattered places in the west ern. A number of fields are showing indications of rust. No serious dam age, however, has been reported from either of these causes. Threshing wheat and oats are nearlng comple tion in the western part of the State, and the harvesting and housing of oats is in progress in the extreme west; but the work has been inter rupted seriously by the wet weather. The hay in the extreme western coun ties is excellent, and some has been saved in good condition, but this work also has been t checked by the rains, and much hay has been spoiled. The pastures in that section are excellent. Tobacco curing is general now in the eastern and central counties; the leaves are curing well, and the crop may be considered a fair one. There is some complaint of rust and of leaves turning yellow. Irish and sweet potatoes are turning out well. The reports in regard to the peanut crop are more encouraging this week than heretofore; the majority of the reports seem to indicate a fair crop. There are, however, a number of com plaints of poor and slightly backward stands. Gardens and cabbages are ex cellent, especially. in the western part of the State. Some blackberries have been picked in the western counties. Pears, peaches and grapes are a fair crop.

At a spec ial meeting of the board of aldermen, held Saturday night at 8 o'clock, it was ordered that tho chief of police call on each of the registrars of the city and take possession of the regis tration books, and that the election booked for Monday should be called off, on the grounds that it was ille gal. This was a great surprise to many. The question of the legality of the dispensary election has been the gos&ip ever sjnee its inception, but it was not thought the election. would be stopped at this time, There is no doubt that the temperance side would have polled a large majority "of votes.

Late Icpcrls Indicate Tremeadosf SIiBfhter STOESSEL SAYS U WAS 10.00C Official Report of the Fighting at Port Arthur From July 26th to Jul) 28th Received at St. Petersburg. St Petersburg. By Cable. An offi tial report from Lieutenant General Btoessel. commanding the military forces at Port Arthur, saya that the Japanese were repulsed with tremen dous loss In a three days' fight from July 26th to July 2Sth. General Kuro patkin reports from Liao Yang some small Russian successes In outpost fighting up to August 8, without the ex pected great battle having been open ed. The simultaneous receipt of favor able news from these commanders In the far East raised the spirits of those In the Russian capital immensely. The dispatches were printed in special newspaper bulletins and were eagerly bought up on the streets. The newsboys around the depots met the returning crowds of Sunday pleasureseekers and shouted their wares without being re proved by the police, and thousands of St. Petersburgers went to their homes apparently satisfied that a favorable turn of affaire bad commenced at the front. General Stoessel's report, though ten days old, is taken as a satisfactory ref utation of the recently repeated ru mors of the fall of Port Arthur. He states that the determined Japanese assaults were repulsed with tremendous loss, and figures 10,000 as. the number of Japanese killed or wounded. This is admittedly on Chinese information, which heretofore has proved to be of exceedingly doubtful value. But with Russian losses of 1,00 as a basis, the authorities here consider that 10,000 Is a fairly conservative esti mate, since the Japanese were beaten off in what must have been a desperate assalt on tremendously strong fortifi cations. The fact that the Japanese were not able to remove their dead and wounded is taken to prove that their defeat must have been one of great severity. The part played by the fleet bears out the prediction of the Associated Press that Rear Admiral Withoft is able to render efficient support to the J garrison. It is considered significant that no mention is made of Vice Ad miral Togo, indicating that the Japa nese is impotent to aid friend or injure foe. The authorities do not divulge the source of General Stossel's report, though it is understood that it came by way of Chefoo. The fact that the Japanese are in possession of the coun try as far north as Haicheng renders it unlikely that it came by the land route. General Kuropatkin's, report states that the Japanese are stationary on his eastern front, the greatest activity be ing on the south and southeast posi tions, where the Russians are able to take the offensive. Wrhile the move ments in themselves are apparently of no gre it importance, they are interest ing afe showing that the Japanese are still halting before undertaking the serious task of attacking Liao Yang, with its strong circle of defenses. Gen. Stoessel Claims Victory. St. Petersburg, By Cable. Lieuten ant General Stoessell, commanding the Russian military forces at Port Arthur, in an undated dispatch to the Emperor, says: T am happy to re port that the troops repulsed all the Japanese attacks of July 26, 27 and 28 with enormous losses. "The garrison's enthusiasm was ex traordinary. "The fleet assisted in the defence by bombarding the Japanese flank. "Our losses during the three days were about 1,500 men and 40 officers, killed or wounded. "According to statements of Chi nese and prisoners, the Japanese lost at. many as 10,000. "Their losses were so great that the anemy has not had time to remove the dead and wounded." Defending All Positions. Liao Yang, By Cable. The "past week has been a most dramatic and eventful one. The Japanese intend to follow up the Russians and to gain ground east and south by an attack on Anshanshan (midway between Hai cheng and Ylao Yang). It Is reported that the Japanese are advancing on the west, and exciting rumors are current. Though apparently beaten at every point, and though the Japanese have advanced well on the Russian flank, the Russians, in council of war, have determined to defend all their posi tions as heretofore. Train Strikes Trclley Car. Kansas City, Special. An Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe passenger train from Chicago crashed into a well filled trolley car Sunday at Fifteenth street, in the eastern end of the city. J. L. Morris, cf Pleasant Hill, Mo., was killed and ten persons were in jured, Mrs. Minnie Stanbury, of Kan sas City, seriously. The accident was caused by the crossing gates be ing up. Harry Black, the flagman, who was slightly hurt, says that he was sick and unable to bring the gates into position. The engine struck the car in the middle and over turned it. Vessel in Distress. New York, Special. The Neva Sco tia 6hip King's County arrived Sunday in distress. The ship sailed July 21 from Pensacola for Rio De Jeniero with a full cargo of lumber. Cn July 2S, the ship was struck by a terrific squall and hove down on her beam ends, obliging her crew to cut away spars and sails tD right her. The ship lost the fore and maintopgallant masts, the mizzen royal and jibboora with sails attached. Captain Salter put into this port for repairs.

He left them about 11 o'clock and presumably started to walk alone back to Mr. Nathan's, but instead ot going south, ho went north, and did i.ot discover his mistake until he ri ached the trestle. There he stop ped and is supposed to have ben about to retrace his Pteps rhen the car from Wilmington came along. He was standing inside the curve and is supposed to hare misjudged the spwd iif the car or have mistaken its coursa by reason of a eharp turn. At any rate the motorman, who had seen him standing by a pile of wood near the tracb, was dumbfounded when close upon him to tee the stranger etep or fall immediately in front of the car before it was scarcely possible to ap ply the brakes. Both McCormaek's legs were practically cut off, his neck tas broken, hla thouldcr and hip wer crushed and he was otherwise severe ly injured about the hrad and body.

The plant is a good ono and If thero Is plenty of labor three times as much coal as ever has been mined there can be produced. Some Italians have worked thero and it is understood that there will be quite a colony of these at that point. Russian Communications May be Cut. St Petersburg, By Cable. The fact that General Kuropatkin's recent dis patches have not mentioned General Stackclberg or General Zaroubrleff, leads to the supposition here that their forces to the southward may have had their communications cut by General Nodsu's army. A Ten Million Bond Issue. Montgomery, Ala., Special. Robert lemison, president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company, i gs notified the Secretary of State that that corporation's stockholders had au thorized a bond Issue of $10,000,000 apon the propeity of the company. The bonds will be taken by the Commer r:al Trust and Savings Bank, of New Orleans. Fears of Disorder. Port Au Prinze, By Cable. The most serious disorders are anticipated here. The population is very much excited by the ccniinued rise In prices of all merchandise and a band of soldiers made an attempt to pillage the Central Market and the shops in ihat vicinity. Other troops and po lice immediately intervened and re established order. All the stores In Port Au Prince, however, are now closed. Yesterday a number cf Sy rians were stoned in the streets, two cf them were wounded and their stalls surrounding the Central' Market were de stroyed by soldiers. Items of News.
