BUFFALO EXPOSITION.
AN UNDERTAKING OF GREAT MAGNITUDE
WHICH PROMISES SUCCESS.
Exhibits to be Confined to Products
of the Western Hemisphere, Includ
ing British America, the States of
North, South and Central America
and the West Indies The Promo
tion of Trade With These Countries
one of the Chief Objects In View.
(Baltimore Sun.)
The Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo, which will be opened on
May 1, is an undertaking of great
magnitude, All indications point to
the success of this commendable en
terprise. Marylanders will be grati
fied to know that their State will be
represented at the Exposition in a
manner befitting the occasion. Every
effort will be made to present a
worthy exhibit of the products of the
State. While the Maryland buildinp
will not be as pretentious as the edi
fices of other States, it will bo a con
venient and attractive rendezvous for
the thousands of visitors from this
State and from the South who will
attend the Exposition. As Maryland
is richly endowed with the choicest
food products, the'-Maryland kitchen"
at Buffalo ought to prove one of the
most attractive features of the Expo
sition. The exhibits at the Pan-American
Exposition will be confined entirely
to products of the Western Hemi
sphere including British America,
the states of North, South and Central
America and the West Indies. About
16,000,000 was subscribed for the en
terprise .xchifive of $3,000,000 for
"Midway" features. One of the chief
objects of the Exposition is the promo
tion of tradu between the countries,
states and islands of the Western
Hemisphere. Although the Exposi
tion managers were unable to obtain
an appropriation from the Federal
Government, there will be no ehange
in the plan and scope of the Exposi
tion. 1 he most notable days in the
calendar of the Exposition will be the
Opening Day, on May 1 ; "Dedica
tion Day. on May 20, and "Presi
dent's Day," on or about June 10.
On each occasion the exercises will
be of an exceptionally interesting
character.
As an illustration of American
progress the Buffalo Exposition will
have a distinct educative value. JNo
phase of national development will
be neglected. In addition to the ex
hibits of the industrial and mechani
cal arts there wil,l be a comprehensive
collection of the works of American
painters and sculptors. The works
of all the various schools of painting
will be shown. The Fine Arts Build-
in":, though affording much more
space than that allotted to the United
States at the Paris Exposition last
year, will be taxed to its utmost ca
pacity. The architectural plan of the
Exposition buildings has an ethical
signihcance and represents the re
suits of centuries of architectural en
deavor. The salient features of the
famous arrangement of palaces and
grounds at Versailles are embodied
in the Pan-American Exposition
There is also a definite design in the
grouping of the buildings, the visitor
passing from those which typiry
man's crudity, such as the mines and
the horticultural building, to the
Ethnology Building and Music Tem
ple, and thence to the structures de
voted to manufactures, liberal arts,
transportation, agriculture and elec
tricity, the whole group culminating
in the grand electric tower.
One of the unlaue features of the
Exposition will be the Indian Con
eress, which will also include an In
dian museum with a fine collection
of curios and relics, pre-historic and
modern, gathered from all parts of
North America. Nothing could be
so appropriate at a Pan-American
Exposition as an exhibit of Indians
Forty-two tribes of red men will be
reoresented. and the 500 or more
Indians at the Exposition will illus
trate every phase of Indian life.
The inventive genius of the Ameri
can people will be illustrated in many
wits at Buffalo. The World's Fair
at Chicaeo was an admirable portray
ai 01 tne aoiuues 01 Aiuuncaua iu iuc

have elapsed since then have been

be especially noticeable m the part
electricity will play in the Pan-Amer
ican Exposition. Transmitted Niagara
energy will be used on the Exposition
grounds for light, heat and power
purposes. The electric power will
be generated at Niagara Falls and
transmitted to Buffalo for distribu
tion. At night the falls of Niagara
will be illuminated bv an immense
searchlight operated from the Cana
dian side of the river. Niagara is
ever beautiful, but the searchlight
will doubtless introduce new and de
lightfnl effects.
Buffalo has arranged to accommo
date all the visitors to the Exposition
The city has a large number of per
manent hotels, besides hundreds of
boarding houses. In addition anum
ber of apartment houses have been
converted into hotels, and severa
caravansaries have been erected near
the Exposition grounds. Three thous
and private dwelling houses with an
average accommodation for sixteen
persons each will be avails be for th
entertainment of visitors. Alto
p-ether it is estimated that Buffalo
and its suburbs will be able to care
for, at least, 200,000 persons.
Caught a Dreadful Cold.
Marion Kooke, mananger for T. M.
Thompson, a large importer of fine millin
ery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago,
says: "During: the late severe weather I
caught a dreadful cold which kept me awake
at night and made me unfit to attend my
work durine the dav. One of my milliners
was taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

ROSE AND BUTTERFLY.

Ere we saw the Summer sun,

Dormant through the wintry term;
Dwelt from dav to dav as deeDlv hid
As I, iii ray ohrysalid.
Springtime resurrection brought.
Far transcending human thought-
Far surpassing mortal iitight
Out of shadow, into light.
Subtle forces in the gloom.
Wrought our rescue from the tomb:
Silent, vet potential, they
Killed lor us the stone away-
Broke the riwid ban Is of death:
Breathed reviv.fying breath:
Cave the Rose a frag' ant meet

And to me my golden wines,
in wnose praise tne poet sings,

DON'T WORRY.
It is the Crape on the Door Announo
ins a Funeral Which is Yet in the
Future "Sufficient Unto the Day is
the Evil Thereof," Saith Scripture.
Among the good resolutions we
should make and live up to is a
a
letermination not to worry. Some
one has said of the habit of vvorrv-
ng:
This would be a compart ively hap
py world if we did not suffer so much
from things that never happen.. How
our shoulders ache under the weight
f burdens we are never called upon
to bear ! How ojir hearts are wrunsr
by griefs that never take shape !"
If no more serious charges could
be brought against it, worrying would
head the list of follies. It costs us
an untold amount of unnecessary mis
ery. It takes away the strength we
need for work. In all its record of
accomplishment, it is impossible to
point to a single good result it has
brought about. Worry is the nail in
the coffin of the man not yet dead; it
is the crape on tne door, announcing
the funeral, that should not take place ,
for years to come.
Worry is the dyspepsia and indiges
tion, brought on, not from over-eat-
ng or eating too much rich food, but
from thinking too much before about
what we are going to have to eat, or
whether we are going to have any
thing at all to eat. It is the over
coat put on as a protection against
the expected cold wave that turns out
to be a warm one; it is the umbrella
raised to keep off the rain that turns
out to be sunshine; it is the celestial
telescope, which throws inverted
images.
Worry has never yet brought sun
shine to any one, but has times with
out number, caused the sun to pass
behind a cloud, when there was not
a cloud to be seen in the sky. It has
exhausted the strength in the yester
day, that is needed to push forward
the work or today. "Sufficient unto
the day is the evil tnereof.1' Let us
borrow no trouble, for each day and
hour will come laden with its proper
amount vof sunshine and cloud.
We have pointed to the absurdity
of worrying and it is now In order for
us to point the way out of it. lo get
rid of tbe darkness in the room we
should not think of dipping it out, as
we would so much water; we would
displace it with light. If we put
worrying under the head of nonsense,
it is easy to understand that it must
be driven out by influx of sense.
We cannot get rid of worry by an
effort of the will not to worry, we
must drive it out by seeing that it is
absolutely foolish and injurious as
well, to worry. Anything that would
naturally happen, will come just the
same, no matter how much we worry,
and if we do worry, the thing will
happen in our weakened state of
mind.
The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
QUICK BELIEF FROM PAIN.
All who use Chamberlain's Pain Balm
for rheumatism are delighted with llieauick
relief from pain which it afiords. When
speaking of this Mr. D. N. Sinks, of Troy,
Ohio, savs: "Some time ago I had a severe
attack of rheumatism in ray arm and
shoulder. I trisd numerous remedies but
irot no relief until I was recommended by
Messrs. Geo. , Parsons & Co., druggists of
this place, to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
They recommended it so highly that I
bought a bottle. I was soon relieved of all
pain. I have since recommended this lini
ment to many of my friends, who agree
with me that it is the best remedy for mus
cular rheumatism in the market." For

A Stanley County Man Who Makes
Organs.
(Monroe Enquirer.)
Mr. I. F. Osborne, the organ build
er, of Stanley county, was in the city
last Monday". He has built thirty
two organs within the past four years.
Mr. Osborne says- that his organ
building was the outgrowth of a great
desire to own an organ, and not being
able to purchase one and having a
mechanical turn of mind he set to
work and built an organ. His first
organ was a very crude affair, but it
did what it was built for. It made
music. Since then Mr. Osborne has
had many orders for instruments. He
makes a" good double-reed, eleven
stop, solid oak-case organ and sells
them for thirty-five dollars
each.
. . . trtmt Wr nWn
organs
say they are equal to the
e . , ' ii
organs of Northern make which sell
for seventy-five dollars.

ROBERT EDWARD LEE.
BISHOP DUDLEY'S GLOWING TRIBUTE TO
THE GREAT SOLDIER.
Speaks of Lee at the Hamilton Club
Banquet in Chicago on Appomattox
Day Patriot, Soldier, Christian
Hero and Peerless Citizen in Defeat,
"We Point the Hen ol the World
to Him and Bid Them to Show us
His Fellow."
Chicago. April 9. Right Reverend
Thomas U. Dudley, Bishop of Ken
tucky, who is a native of Richmond,
Va.t and who was rector of Christ's
Church, Baltimore, in 1875, was one
of the speakers at the Hamilton Club
banquet here tonight, "Appomattox
Day." The Bishop said in part:
I count it a happy omen for our
country, Mr. President and gentlemen
of tiis Hamilton Club, that I am
standing here tonight. You have
bidden me, a Virginian, a Southerner,
a Confederate soldier, to have part in
your celebration of Appomattox Day,
that I may voice the feelings of South
ern men about the peerless leader
who on that day did sheathe his stain
less sword.
And so I come as your fellow-citizen
in this proud and mighty nation
to speak of him in whose memory I
am bidden to speak. I speak of
Robert Edward Lee, the patriot, the
soldier, who. by the testimony of
Scott, was his right arm in the con
quest of Mexico; of Robert Edward
Lee, equally the patriot, and soldier
ROBERT EDWARD LEE.
Patriot, Soldier, Peerless Citizen in Defeat,
greater than before, who maintained
for four long years the unequal strug
gle, wi'h overwhelming odds, for the
principle that he bad been taugnt,
that his supreme allegiance was due
to Virginia, his mother State.
I speak of Robert Edward Lee, the
fieerless citizen in defeat, from whose
tps no word of murmur ever came;
whose .pen never wrote one line ot
self-defense; who, when he had offer
ed his sword to the conqueror too
noble to accept it, went his way to
the poverty and obscurity of the com
ing years, content if he might be use
ful in the training 01 Virginian rjoys
into a noble manhood.
1 speak of Robert Edward Lee,
whose body rests among the hills of
the Virginia he loved so well; whose
splendid image looks down from
towering height upon the city he
labored so hard to defend; whose
grave is in the heart of his country
men and whose fame is sounded
louder and louder every year from the
trumpet of the wise and good through
out the wide world.
"Read his letters to his sons and
learn that his political opinions were
of the Federalist school; that his con
ception of the course suggested by
Southern leaders was that it was mad
ness. He recognized to the full the
necessary inequality of the contest
between the ISorth and South, and
also that such contest, long and
devastating, was as sure and as
necessary as its inequality. He loved
the flag he had borne with an ecstasy
of devotion, and yet, with such abso
lute recognition of the difficulties to
be met and of the probability of
defeat in the undertaking to be begun.
with grief that was speechless for the
evil days on which his country had
fallen, he wended his way across the
bridge to the land that gave him
birth, looked with sadness upon the
beautiful home on the banks of the
river that had sheltered his young
manhood s happiness and came to
Richmond to offer his sword to the
new-born Confederacy. Why? Ire
peat, why?
Can any man affirm, with possible
acceptance by his own intelligence or
another's, that selfishness, self-seeking,
the thought of possible self
advancement, had aught to do with
producing such a decision? le9, I
have been startled to hear but recent
ly the suggestion made by a man
whom I esteem to be good and true
that because Lee's property was in
Virginia he bad been led to go thither.
In reply, I asked if he knew that be-
fore he offered his resignation of his
commission in the United States
army Lee was offered the supreme
command of the armies of the United
States? 1 affirm that to be true open
testimony of the late John A. Camp-
beli, 01 Aiaoama, men a justice 01
the Supreme Court of the United
States. With my own ears I heard
him say it in a-gathering of citizens
in Baltimore the day after General
Lee's death.
"I am not capable, were this the
time or place, for critical considera
tion of his strategic powers, as proved
by his campaigns, but I dare say this
on the authority of the military
critics of the world, of this country,
and of other countries. Let me read
you the words of a man, an American
statesman and soldier, a man for
i 1 .: u 1
the Government of the nation some of
I H ns" Fl.uuu 1" "
Vice-President Theodore Roose
velt, in his 'Life of Thomas H. Ben
ton,' says (American Statesman Series,
page 38):
" 'The world has never" known bet
ter soldiers than those who followed
Lee: and their leader will undoubtedly
rank as. without anv exception, the
very greatest of all the great captains
that the English-speaking peoples
have brought forth and this although
the last and chief of his antagonists
may himself claim to stand as the full
equal of Marlborough and Welling
ton.'
"Colonel Henderson, of the British
army, the head of the great military
college, declares that the five greatest
generals of the English-speaking race
are Wellington, Marlborough, Wash
ington, Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
I do not know that I give-tbe names
in the order in which he has placed
them, but I do remember that he ex
pressed astonishment that three of
these men were born in old Virginia.
"But our captain is not worthy.
savs a great newspaper 01 Mew Xork
City, to have a place in the American
Westminster Abbey, the American
Temple of Honor. Washington and
Jefferson, the Virginia rebels, would
be, it is claimed, offended by tbe
coming to their side or Lee, their
countryman. Beyond all doubt, they
were rebels against the best Govern
ment the world had ever seen up to
that time. Shall he be excluded be
cause, forsooth, the same charge may
be made against him, with surely by
no means universal consent as to
its being his accurate designation?
The sound iudgment of the electors
has been proof even against the dia
tribes of this thunderer of the press.
and our chieftain's name will stand
by those of his great fore-runners.
"But I turn away for a few mo
ments that we may think of Lee the
citizen, the college president, the
humble-minded Christian gentleman.
I love to think of him, the great Cap
tain, as he refused the offer which
came from New York in the days im
mediately after he surrendered and
the establishment of peace, that he
should go there with enormous salary
to be tbe head of an insurance com
pany. " 'Nj,' is his response. I will
tarry here in poverty, that I may, if
possible, help to build up tbe State
and the people in which and "among
whom 1 was born.
"In the month of June, 1875, I re
turned to Baltimore after mv first
visit to my new home in Kentucky.
My family were still in tbe old home
in Baltimore, and thither came one
afternoon, soon after my return, an
English clergyman, bringing to me a
letter of introduction. He tarried
and had his tea with us, and there
after, by my invitation, accompanied
me to the Academy of Music, where
the ladies of the city were to give a
great entertainment in aid of the Lee
monument fund. On our arrival at
the Academy we found it crowded to
the dodrs, and with difficulty secured
standing-room in the uppermost gal
lery. I remarked to my guest that
he must not be surprised by the exhi
tion of the most noisy enthusiasm,
because in the audience were many
men who had followed Lee's flag, and
because all there had been in hearty
sympathy with the Confederate cause;
but I did not expect that the Bishop
was to have personal part in such
clamorous demonstration of admira
tion and affection for the dead chief
tain. The exercises were begun by
an oration from Mr. S. Teackle Wallis,
the great Maryland orator, and in
concluding his splendid utterance he
spoke these words:
Our neighbors across the border
have been accustomed to taunt us
with the peculiarities of our civiliza
tion; we point them to Robert Lee as
the fruit of that civilization and bid
them show us his follow!'
"And a moment thereafter the
Bishop found himself with his hat
gone into the air, veiling like a ragged
rebel,' and the Englishman looking
in amazement upon this most un
episcopal behavior. The words have
lodged in my memory and tonight I
proudly make them my own. Yes,
we point the English-speaking world
to Robert Lee as the fruit of the civil
ization of our home-land, a civiliza
tion now dead and gone and for its
departuie we can now give thanks
we point the men of the world to
Robert Lee as the fruit of that civili
zation and bid them show us his fel
low:"
THE UNIVERSITY.
The University of North Carolina
is not only the oldest State University
in the South, but the oldest in the
Union with the exception of the Uni
versitv of Pennsylvania. It was
chartered in 1779 and formally open
ed in 1795. Throughout the various
changes and vicissitudes of the period
which has elapsed, since then its de
velopment has been constant. Lur
ing the past ten years its enrollment
nas increased irom to oiz, us
faculty membership from 20 to 35,
several departments have been added
and others extended; while new
buildings modernly equipped offer to
students everv comfort, convenience
and opportunity desirable. The
hjjrh standard of educational

ex
th
cellence which it maintains and
value of its training axe evidenced by
the long list of distinguished alumni
which includes one president, two
vice-presidents and ten cabinet offi-
cers together with a large number oc-
cupying prominent positions m every
sphere of life. What the University

has done, is doing and will do for
education is a just cause for pride to

A good cook will be able to put on
the table a piece of beef prepared in a
hundred different styles; just so
should a wife multiply herself and ap
pear before her husband under a hun
dred different aspects.
Partaker of his pleasures and of his
sorrows, she should be in turn a good,
careful housekeeper on tbe sly, an !
elegant and well dressed hostess in
the drawing room, an intellectual
companion, a business partner, a sus
picion of a coquette, and a devoted
nurse.
Yes, she should be all that, always
interesting, and always cheerful.
To retain happiness in matrimonial
life it is not for a woman a question
of remaining beautiful; it is a sine
qua non question of remaining inter
esting. And to obtain that end her efforts
should tend. None should be beneath
her notice, even in the most slight
and frivilous details, in order to keep
alive in her the interest of her hus
band. I know married womeu who never
do their hair up in the same way
longer than three or four weeks at a
time. Never mind tbe fashion. They
prefer fascinating and attracting the
interest 01 their husoands to win-
ig the praises of the indifferent
crowd.
All this is fair and good politics.
Do not smile, it is true. If a man
oves his wife, the slightest thing will
attract his notice, a rose in ber cor
sage, her hair parted the other way;
why, a newly trimmed bonnet (that is
cheap enough) may revive in him the
nterest, the emotion he felt the hrst
time that he met her. And all this is
all the more true if a man is of an
artistic, that is to say, susceptible
temperament.
A woman knows that the very best
dishes may become insipid if served
with the eternally same sauce. She
should "accommodate" herself, there
fore, with a new sauce almost every
day.
It is not so very troublesome and it
pays in happiness. 1 know women
who, at night, prepare their hair so
as to look Deauurui the next day.
Just think of it! The next day! They
should look beautiful there and then.
These women would not dare for a
moment think of appearing in that
state before men who are indifferent
to them. If men and women would
not do before each other what they
would never dream of doing before
any other women and men, matri
monial life would be a bliss for a life
time.
Now call this frivolity, if you like.
but happiness in married life feeds on
thousands of little frivolities of this
kind.
Balzac said that, in matrimony,
beautiful nights make beautiful days.
I should feel inclined to believe that
it is the reverse which is true.
The meeting, at the latter part of
the day, should be a consequence, the
meeting of two beings, who, after
being interested in each other all day,
see their true friendship and love get
itensified as the close of the day ap
proaches, a beautiful cemedv with the
curtain for climax.
Another thing.
Familiarity, they say, breeds .con
tempt. True; but worse and more
fatal to happiness in matrimony than
familiarity is constant company.
Everything is good or bad, pleasant
or disagreeable by comparison. Con
stant company means sameness, and
sameness is the arch enemy of pleas
ure and happiness. Besides, tbe best
tempered people, the most loving
couples, have their moments of tem
porary coldness caused by annoyance,
indisposition and all sorts of things.
Now, in every bouse, a man has bis
library, or smoke room, a growlery of
some kind, where, if out of sorts, be
can go and hide and spare his wife a
sight which he would spare any other
friend be may have.
Why should not a woman also al
ways have a room 01 ner own, a
sacred sanctum interdicted to every
body, including her husband? The
French call that room a boudoir (a
word which comes from bouder. to
sulk), a growlery, as you see. That
boudoir should be to a woman all
that a library is to a man, an impreg
nable fortress where to withdraw
when not in a pleasant mood to ap
pear before a husband.
And, also, what a privilege for a
woman to be invited to spend me
evening in the library when the wind
blows hard down the chimney and tbe
rain strikes tbe window panes! What
a bliss for man to be invited to spend
an evening in intimacy with madame
in her boudoir, have supper there
with her!

The Human System.
British women are said to average
two inches more in height than
Americans. Averages for the height
of women show that those born in
summer and autumn are taller than
those born in spring or winter. The
tallest girls are born in August.
As far as boys are concerned, tbose
who first see the light during tbe
autumn and winter are not so tall as
those born in spring or summer.
Those born in November are tbe
shortest; in July the tallest.

A person who has lived seventy
years has had pass through his heart
about 676,920 tons of blood, tbe whole
of the blood of the body passing
through the heart in about thirty-two
beats. The heart beats on an average
of seventy times a minute, or 86,792,-
000 time in tbe course of a year, so
that the heart of an ordinary man
eighty years of age has beaten 3,000,

a minute less when one is lying down
than when one is in an upright posi
tion. Wigg "Are you a Buffalo?"

ATE 48 BANANAS.
Charlotte Man satisfies a Cravlnc for
Fruit.
Mr. and Mrs. Gus Keller, mill opera
tives, visited the store of Severs &
Lawing, on North Trvon street last
night, and while discussing tbe
mayoralty election and divers other
topics, Mr. Keller's eye rested fondly
on several line bunches of bananas.
He observed that be was something
of a banana fancier and bad never in
his life satisfied a craving for that
fruit. How many did he think he
could eat, he was asked.
"Oh, 'bout four dozen," be replied.
Mr. H. F. Severs of the firm then
told Keller that be would give him
four dozen bananas if be would eat
them then and there, but if be failed
to eat that number he would have to
pay for what he ate. Keller accepted
the proposition. Mrs. Keller remark
ed that she, too, had never soothed
the inner yearning for bananas, and
asked that the offer made to her hus
band be extended to ber. Severs was
not averse to this, but stipulated that
Mr. Keller should first enter the con
test. ,
Keller went at those bananas like a
man who had fasted for days. He
ate one dozen while a peaceful smile
illuminated his face; he ate two
dozen and said his appetite was still
on the improve; he ate three dozen.
unloosened his waistcoat and began
to look serious. Commencing with
the 39th banana it was uphill work
with Keller. He no longer smiled
and perspiration gathered on his
brow. But he shook himself, sat
down and laboriously stuffed one
banana after another down his throat.
His heart was no longer in his task,
and he commenced to "swell visibly
before the naked eye."
When he had, within 20 minutes
from tbe start, consumed his 48th
banana, Keller's wife who bad been
watching him closely, said she be
lieved she did not want to repeat
his experiment. She called upon her
worthy spouse to go home with her,
but he could not rise from his chair.
He grew quite sick and had to be
carried home. Heroic remedies were
resorted to, but when last heard from
Keller was still too full for comfort
able utterance and a most unhappy
man. Charlotte Observer.
