WORDS OF PRAISE FOR WORLD'S FAIR
IM
TEe Opinion is Unanimous
r, at. St. Louis, and
St. Louis. During the past few
weeks a great many men prominent in
the Tarious walks of life, but particu
larly in political fields, Lave visited St.
Louis and the Exposition. The com
ments of some of them, showing a
unanimous opinion of the surpassing
greatness and beauty of the Fair, are
given below:
Governor Benjamin B. Odell says St.
Itouis is no warmer than New York
City. In answer to a query as to what
he thought of the Fair, the Governor
Bald:
"Two things strike me particularly
concerning the St. Louis Exposition.
In the first place the magnitude and
the beauty of the whole enterprise im
press themselves upon the visitor from
the beginning of his stay. In the sec
ond place, I find that St. Louis has
6 V -- ..4.
been badly misrepresented by accounts
which say that her weather is unbear-
able. On the contrary, I find that St.
T Louis is a comparatively cool place as
Jjompared with New York City. I dare
JL f e -7 from what I hear that St. Louis
f)ody : will be no warmer during July and
August than New lrork or Chicago.
The Fair is wonderful. I believe the
people are not going to miss such a
wonderful exhibition as is to be found
In St. Louis. I think the attendance
will be particularly large in the fall.
I find that St. Louis is again misrep
resented when it is said that the city
is not prepared to receive visitors to
the Exposition. The city seems to be
amply supplied with hotels which will
satisfy people of every degree of
wealth. Then there are the numerous
beautiful homes for which St. Louis is
noted, all of which seem to be thrown
oren to the visitor. I shall not go into
detail In regard to my views of the
different exhibits; suffice It to say that
they are all wonderful in their com
pleteness and in theii" beauty. The
whole Fair is worthy of being seen by
every New Yorker. A glorious time
awaits those who see tlve Exposition."

sissippi, Democratic leader in the

MatlTe-Bora Fighters of India Their
Habits.
A native officer of India writes of
the native soldiers: "The Sikhs, or
reformed Hindus, have all the quali
ties of the best fighters, and the In
dians as well as their fellow subjects
In Europe have indeed reason to be
proud of them. There are two other
castes In Punjab also noted for their
fighting qualities, the Jats and the
Dagras.
"Another great fighting race in Pun
jab inhabiting the northwestern part
are commonly known as the Pathans.
They are now Mohammedans by faith.
The Gurkhas of Nepal, the only inde
pendent State in India, though gener
ally below average height, have proved'
themselves the most indomitable,
brave and hardy hill fighters. Euro
pean officers attached to Gurkhas reg
iments love their men and are proud
of them. Their free and easy man
ners, absteminous habits, cheerful dis
position, bravery in the field of war
or of sport help to raise them in the
estimation of all who come in contact
with them. They are of Hindu ori-a:In-"
General von Trotha.
General Yon. Trotha, commander of
the Sixteenth Infantry Division of the
German Army, who recently sailed
for German South Africa to take
change of the campaign against the
Kaiser's rebellious subjects, the Here
ros, is fifty-six years old. From 1894
to 1897 he commanded the Kaiser's
colonial forces in East Africa, and iu
1900 he accompanied Count Von Wal
dersee to China, with the rank of major-general.
Cuban Canteloupes.
American fruit growers and market
gardeners have been experimenting
with many varieties of fruits and veg
etables in Cuba, to learn what may be
' most profitably produced there for the
American markets. One result of this
has been fine Cuban canteloupes in
the New York market the last week
in April of the present year, and more
all through May. They are of good
quality, and the business is likely to
be developed, thus adding another
month to the "canteloupe season.

House of Representatives, and tempor
ary Chairman of the Democratic Na
tional convention: "The Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is, by far, the
most wonderful thins of its kind and
as an educator it cannot be excelled.
No one should fail to see the Exposi
tion, as it can not be appreciated by
merely reading about it."
Governor Hit-hard Yatts, of Illinois:
"The more I see of the Exposition the
more I enjoy it. It is by all means
the greatest World's Fair I have ever
seen. As an opportunity for becoming
acquainted with the resources of the
country, for acquiring a general knowl
edge of every subject that I can think
of, a visit to the Fair should not be
missed. It is also an excellent means
for having a good time. The amuse
ment features are fine. St. Louis seems

weil prepared to take care of her
guests. The city and the management
of the Exposition in particular are to
be congratulated for what they have
accomplished. The Fair is beautiful
and should be seen by all."
Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, Ga., Secre
tary of the Interior under President
Cleveland: "I am highly pleased with
the Exposition, and believe it to be
one of the triumphs of modern civiliza
tion. The Fair is certainly better than
all others I have seen, and it is indeed
quite an education to see the Exposi
tion. The kind of weather that St.
Louis seems to have in store for her
guests is quite an agreeable surprise.
St. Louis is a beautiful city "and
seems to be caring for her guests
in a most admirable manner. The Fair
is" wonderful and should not be missed
by any one who has the slightest op
portunity of seeing it."
Judge D. T. Marvel, of Wilmington,
Del.: "One of the best things, in my
opinion, that can be said of the Fair is
the fact that it is so arranged that al
though hundreds of thousands may be
in the grounds there is no crowding
and no discomfort. The magnitude of
the Fair is wonderful. The exhibits
are beautiful; they represent all the

An Amusing Conversation Overheard in
a Public Park.
An amusing example of the blending
of the sentimental and the practical
was overheard at Olentangy Park the
other day. Two people greatly inter
ested in each other occupied the boat.
The man was leaning forward, with
his heart in his eyes, and was over
heard by two people on the bank to
say to the girl, who rowed:
"Darling, you are the very sweetest
person in the world, and I can never
tell you pull on the left oar t there,
you're going to run into the ' bank.
There isn't any one in the whole world
to compare with you, and never will
be the right oar, dear, pull hard,
quick. You know as well as I do that
we are made for one another, and
quick, the right oar, or'you'll run into
that tree. You are positively the
sweetest both oars, and harden the
left, darling. Just the dearest girl to
sit there and row me so that I can
look at you look out there, dear "
All this to the delight of the listen

playing eavesdroppers. Columbus (O.)

Japanese Patriotism.

interests of all countries. A thorough
examination of them will impart more
knowledge than could be obtained in
many months at a university or a col
lege. The grounds, the buildings, the
style of architecture, the landscape
work, all combine to make the Expo
sition the prettiest thing I have ever
seen. The illumination at night is a
wonderful sight. I hope that every one
who has the opportunity will see- the
Fair."
Mr. Chas. M. Keezel, of Harrison
burg, Va., a delegate to the National
Republican convention: "The Exposi
tion surpasses the expectations of ev
ery one. One can have a glorious
time in St. Louis at most reasonable ex
pense. The Fair is beyQnd description.
It is particularly beautiful at night,
when it is illuminated with millions of

a time is a sight not soon to be for
gotten. No Virginian should miss this
opportunity of seeing the Exposition
the grandest ever produced."
Mr. William Barnes, Jr., of Albany,
K. Yn. Republican State Committeeman
for the State of New York: "You can
saj' for me that this Fair has sur
passed my fondest expectations. It is
wondertul. For magnitude, beauty,
completeness and arrangement it could
not be excelled. The architecture,
massive and picturesque, of the differ
ent buildings, is a treat for the ey6
The Pike attractions have not been
commented upon enough. Many of the
attractions on the Pike are far more
educational and instructive than many
of the exhibits to be found in the
Varied Industries building, for in
stance. Others could not be equalled
from a point of view of entertainment.
St. Louis seems to be well prepared to
handle crowds. The people of New
York will miss an opportunity if they
do not see this wonderful Fair. How
ever, they are not going to miss it.
They are already here in large num
bers and will come in even greater
numbers as the season advances. No
American should miss this Exposition."
"AN OLD SMOKER'S DREAM.
How He "Swore Off," Yet Enjoyed His
Weed.
"It has been eighteen years since I
was told to break loose from tobacco,
as over-indulgence in smoking was
about to knock me out," said S. J. Man
son, of Chicago. "From that day,
though so dear a lover of the weed,
I haven't put a cigar or pipe between
my lips, and yet, strange as it may
sound, on numerous occasions I find
myself puffing out huge clouds of
smoke drawn from the most fragrant
iiavanas tnat ever were given to so
lace mankind.
"These smokes, let it be underRrnnri

iney conter is as solid and substantial

of friends. I can see them puffing
away vigorously. I catch the aroma
they blow forth; I hear their conversa
tion as in the old days, and the whole
atmosphere is of tobacco. Yet, despite
these vivid pictures, awakening brings
no desire to resume the ancient ha hit.
and so I expect to continue dreaming

Japan's Prisoners.
An important Russian provincial
journal, the Southern Review, severe
ly criticises the Spanish Prince Don
Jaime's sweeping allegations of inhu
manity on the part of the Japanese
troops, and maintains that all Russian
and foreign correspondents are unani
mous in praising the humane treat
ment of the Russian prisoners by the
Japanese. The journal adds that Gen

firmed ihese eulogies.

Surrounded by His Old Associates the
Democratic Candidate For the Presi
dency Bids Farewell to the Bench
Returns to Esopu?, N. Y., After For
malities at State Capital.
Albany, N. Y. Shortly after 3 o'clock
In the afternoon Alton B. Parker
ceased to be Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals. He arrived in this city at
1 o'clock to keep an engagement made
with th? Appeals Judges, and from 2
until 3 o'clock was with them in the
consultation room, where they passed
upon sixty-six opinions, practically
clearing the calendar of the court. The
Judges present were Parker, O'Brien,
Martin, Vann, Cullen and Werner. The
absentees were Judges Gray, Bartlett
and Haight, who are in Europe.
At 3.05 the session was at ah end,
and Judge Parker invited the corre
spondents into the main chamber, in
troducing them to the several Judges.
Then, before a question could be asked
as to his resignation, he turned, and
with a wave of his hand said: "Gen
tlemen, this room was mine." In the
next moment he called Buell C. An
drews, one of the clerks, and handing
him an envelope asked him to file it
with the Secretary of State. To the
correspondent a copy, which is as fol
lows, was handed:
"Hon. John F. O'Brien, Secretary of
State:
"Sir I hereby respectfully resign my
office as Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals of the State of New York,
such resignation to take effect imme
diately. ALTON B. PARKER.
"Rosemont, Esopus, N. Y., August 5,
1904."
The Democratic candidate declined
to discuss his resignation, but several
of his associates were auxious to be
quoted in expressing their high regard
for Mr. Parker. Judge Martin, who is
to go off the bench this year because of
age, summed up Judge Parker as a
good fellow, a faithful friend and a
fearless Judge. Judges O'Brien, Vann,
Werner and Cullen expressed the opin
ion that the court would suffer a per
sonal loss by the absence of Judge
Parker. It became known after the
session that Judge Parker had written
his associates three weeks ago asking
them to hold thi -afternoon's meeting
and wind up the business of the court,
so that he might go more actively into
politics. He departed for Esopus at
5.30 p. m.
