New Series—Y 01. Ill—No *4B THE WORLD’S GREATEST FI. Opened in St- Louis Last Saturday, April 30th- GREAT ACHIEVEMtNTS MADE- The Fair Is Ready for Its Visitors and People are Amazed at Its Immensity. BY CLAUDE H. WETMORE. The s;ory of man’s achievement in every part of the world is now told daily to the thousands who visit the great world’s fair at St. Louis, the gates to which were opened on April 30. It is told in moving machinery, in processes that are going forward to completion, and in finished pro ducts; it is told again in flow ers and in fruits; it is told in the peace products of education and in the war products that frown upon one from government hill and those that are gatheied under canvas. From the golden victory, aloft on the hall of festivals, to the sil very surface of the lagoons, the story is told under the sunray; it is repeated at night when the palaces seem aflame and the Cascades are resplendent with phosphorescent fire. Those to whom the story is told stand spell-bound before some of the chapters. The giant prime movers in the palace of machinery cause a silence that is akin to fear; the beauties of the throbbing water, tumbling fastastically down the inclines from the colonnade of states, exercise a hypnotic spell, the wonders of the Orient, spread before you by the workers from China, japan aud India, result in mystification. It is not until one leaves the fair grounds and bis mind is free from the ever occurring attractions that he has time to marvel at the glory and the greatness of it all. Open to everyone now is this achievement of a century and a year —the culmination of all that has been done in the wide expanse of territory purchased from France in 1803 and the achievements of all nations in the world since that day. The gates are open, the crowds are pouring in, it is a gala scene everywhere, and the air pulses with sound waves from martial bauds that are pealing forth the refrain of this great peace conquest. In comfortable, rapidly moving cars visitors are carried over the Intramural railway and many thus obtain their first idea of the mag nitude of this St. Louis display. Starting near the Lindell boule vard entrance, they are carried on a straightway track a distance of a mile, between a row of giant exhi bition palaces on the left and the curious building on the pike on the the right. Then the train skirts a lawn, crosses a trestle and curves around the handsome buildings of the administration group, struct ures of pink granite that have been universally admired for their architecture. Beyond these a field is reached and the stadium is pointed out, its wide expanse already in condition for the inter esting Olympian games and other athletic contests. Totom poles standing in front of the Alaskan village seem to nod at you as the cars pass, and in the distance are the thatched roofs of Philipino habitation and the white walls of Manilla buildings in replica- On the left again is the giant palace of Agriculture, the largest building in the world, beyond which is horticulture, and after climbing a grade, the traiu pulls into a wooded area, to emerge behind the art palace on the plateau of states. Down grade again you go in the vicinity of the government group, aud passing miues and metallurgy and the gulch adjacent you reach the main entrance once more. The magni tude of this world’s fair cannot be better sent home to one than by the statement that forty-five min~ utes were consumed in making that round trip on the Intramural. Follow that throng of people and you come to the banks of the lagoons that are dotted with gon dolas aud electric launches Hark to the medley of sound as the swish of the cascades joins the music of the band that is playing on the plaza, and above all rise the notes of a song from the gondolier THE NEWS AND COURANT. who is swinging his craft under the bridge on which you stand. Alive is the water, alive are the broad thoroughfares, alive are the great buildings, and you are told that in a few weeks alive also will be the air, for then the balloon contests will be in full sway. Now you fully comprehend what was meant when word was sent forth by the exposition manage ment that this should be a world's fair in which the revealment of processes should be paramount. It is one continuous panorama from the time you eater the gates until you leave again. Visit the palace of machinery and you see in motion giant engines, some of them occupying as much space as does a three story house. Their ponderous beams rise and fall, great fly wheels revolve and glittering pistons glance in and out. They are liv ing exhibits from all the manufac turing centers of the world and are supplying power to evervthing on the site —a power represented by forty thousand horses all pull ing together.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. FOUND DEAD IN IRE WOODS. The Body of a Miner and Wooc- Chopper Found Near Emerson. DIED FROM HEART FAILURE. HIB Name Wee Samuel Forbes— He Wee from Indiana, and Reported to Be Well Connected. Last Thursday afternoon Mr. J. H. Dunahoo, the manager of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.’s mining interests around Bartow, discovered the body of a man in the woods on the company’s pos sessions near the wheeler place, east of Emerson. The condition of the body was one bordering on decomposition, death having evidently occurred several days previous. The body was recognized as that of Samuel Forbes, who had been in the serv ice ©f the company for a short while, and, having finished a task of chopping a lot of wood, had gone out to take it up. Forbes had been complaining some, and it is supposed took very sick while at work, and died from heart fail ure alone in the woods. Coroner J. H. Harrison was sum moned. and held an inquest over the body. The coroner’s verdict was to the effect that the man came to his death probably from heart failure. Forbes was about 55 years of age. It is said he was for a long time a gold miner in the west. He was originally from Indiana, and well connected. The necessity for urgent burial precluded the body being turned over to relatives, even if conven iently located, and the authorities here provided for its interment.
