THE & ungMQDB DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1891.
THE RESULT,
When it was recently announced
that Thornton Wheatley’s usual
pilgrimage had been made to the
Eastern markets, the public waited
to see in these columns, the report
of what had been done for their
benefit in the way of novelties in
goods and revelations in low prices.
Art! -ijigs being now Ready fob
the *’Ei8T,the people of Americas
and the surrounding country are
invited to come. They are not ex
pected to have on their Wedding
Garments, for Wheatley's is the
Place where the people must go
to be properly decked out, for an
appearance, either at a feast or at
business; and nobody can have
the trade mark that n Perfectly
Dressed Man always bears, untii
r after they have been to -
WORLD’S FAIR ROTES.
and have been supplied, with
Uiters Patent of P.iegaxce !
By that establishment.
The Times-Recordeb isn’t half
BIO enough to hold even a cat
alogue of the Elegant Goods, and
the Ecpeb-Elkgantly Low Prices
attached.
Only the general heads can here
be outlined ; the true inwardness
of the feast can’t be understood
until the guests go through the
whole Bill of Fare in person at
Wheatley’s.
No sncli complete and elegant
stock of
Gentlemen’s, Youths’ and
eoy*’

and the MOST ASTONISHING
THING about them is the LOW
PRICES!

Elastic Seam Drawers, and the
Cosmopolitan Shirt8 in snits or in

HANDKERCHIEFS was never
seen in Americas.

Every Long, Lean, Fat, Short,
Big, Little Man in a dozen coun
ties can get JUST THE FIT in
the odd sizes and lengths stock
that is carried at
Thornton Wheatley’s.
LIFE WILL BE A BURDEN
to all who spend their money else
where, and nnd when too late that
they missed getting the choicest
and best bargains in the neatest
and most stylish goods ever
brought to this market.
DON’T MAKE SUCH A MIS
TAKE, bnt go to Wheatleyla and
get yonrself made solid.
Remember the place:
’ Thorakw Wheatley’s Comer,
So-called became yon can get a
“corner” for the smallest cash con
sideration, upon the largest, cheapo
est and finest goods ever shown in
Americas.
Pensylvania’s exposition building will
cost 175,000.
The Florida Horticultural Society has
asked for three acres In which to show
an orange grovo and make a fruit dis
play.
South Dakota is now engaged in rais
ing $80,000 for its representation at the
Exposition. It proposes to erect a build
ing 144 feet square.
Indiana will have a $100,000 building
at the fair. It will not cost that much,
however, as a large share of the material,
ail of which will come from that state,
will be donated.
Thi State Department at Washington
has been notified that Russia has ap
pointed its Royal World's Fair Commis
sion, and that the president of its Privy,
Councillor lieh , Director of rho lie.
partment.of Finance.
The general passenger agents of twenty
of the railroads entering Chicago have
organistd a Hpeeinl association for M e
determination of excursion rates to the
exposition and f,,r arranging facilities
for caring for the enormous crowds of
visitors to the Fair.
The owners of one of the finest busi
ness corners in Chicago have decided to
erect a $1,000,000 lfl-story building, to
be called “The Columbus,” in honor of
America's discoverer. The plans con
template a structure strikingly ornste
and artistic, of the Spanish stylo of arch
itecture.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany Intends to frame handsomely the
first telegraph message ever sent, which
was in May, 1844, and exhibit it in the
Electrical Department at the exposition.
The message was received by Prof,
Morse at the capitol in Washington,
from an assistant in Annapolis.
The American Pomologlcal Society, at
its recent annual meeting in Washing
ton, decided to make an exhibit class!
fled by state and county associations,
and also by individuals; and it appoint
ed a World's Fair committee of six to
confer with the Horticultural Depart
ment, and to perfect arrangements.
It is not thought probable now that
there will be any tower at tho World’
Fair. The projectors of the most prom-
ising tower scheme abandoned it when
they found that they would have to take
it down when the exposition closed, be
cause the park commissioners refused
to grant them any subsequent use of the
park.
The savants and historians of Italy are
now deeply Interesting themselves in the
xuestion of Columbus’ real birthplace.
Five or six places beside Genoa claim
the honor, and among them is Bottola.
It is reported that proofs have lately
been discovered establishing Bettola’
claim, and that the town ^wlll crept a
monument to Columbus at once, and in-
tends sending an envoy to the • World’i
Fair with these proof* and other histori
cal documents.
October 80 will be “World’i Fair Day”
at the Texaa State Fair at Dallas. On
that day every one who owns stock In
the Texas World’s Fair Association will
be admitted free to the fair, and the As
sociation will try to have every visitor
bny some of tbe stock. Texas is trying
to raise a World’s Fair fund of 1300,000,
and has already made most encouraging
progress. One hundred and sixty-seven
counties in Texas have organized for
World’s Fair work by choosing commit
tees, etc,
Tbe Royal and Imperial Commission
ers from Orest Braitaln, Germany and
Denmark, who spent a week in Chicago
recently, looking into' exposition mat
ters, selecting building sites, making
known their wishes, and posting them,
■elves generally on World’s Fair mat
ter*, departed with most satisfactory im
pressions, and with tbe announced de
termination of making very favorable re
ports to their respective governments,
and of exerting themselves to have them
extensively represented at tbe fair.
France has asked 25,000 and Tho
Hague 11,000 square feet for their pic
ture exhibits alone. Until recently It
was thought that the weakest feature of
the exposition would be its fine arts ex
hibit. Now, however, it is believed that
this will be one of the best of all, owing
to tbe fact that European artists recog
nize in Americans tbe beat purchasers of
their work and they are anxious to take
advantage of the exceptional opportun
ity which the exposition will offer them
to show their paintiugs to the American
people.
Aside from the cost of the great build-
ings which will be not far from $7,000,-
000, the following are among the sums
which have been or will be spent ip prep
aration of the exposition grounds: Grad
ing and filling, $450,000; landscape gar
dening, $323,500; viaducts and bridges,
$125,000; piers, $70,000; waterway im
provements, (225,000; railways, $500-
000; steam plant, $800,500; electric light
ing $1,500,000; statuary, $100,000; vases,
lamps, etc., $50,000; lakefront adorn
ment, $200,000; water supply and sew
erage, $000,000; other expenses $1,000,-
000; total $5,043,500. The total expense
of organization, administration nnd
operation of the exposition is estimated
at nearly $5,000,000. This takes no ac
count of the Jumstobe spent by the
government, the state* or foreign
nmH/ma.
An Inevitable Conflict Fending.
Today, as yesterday, aa tomorrow, and
as for a long time to come, the situation
of Franco and Germany forms the great
subject of anxiety which is imposed
upon the meditation of all European
statesmen. At no other point is it fore
seen that war can break out Russia has
great ambitions nnd Italy has strong de
sires, but Russia is for years doomed
merely to cherish ambitions, for she can
not realize them single handed, and it
does not depend npon her to provoke a
general war, which would be oue resnlt
of her combined action with France;
while as for Italy, she will never venture
to give the signal of war, for if she did
she would tie left to herself and would
be speedily crushed. It could be solely
as tlie result of a general war that Italy
could obtain her share, and in the pres
ent state of her alliances!

tiiese two nations desire war—war. first
for its own sake, and next for tile rest,
and if. in order to have done with this
everlasting Fraucn-Geniian nightmare
Europe could now promise to fold her
arms, and afterward to intervene merely
as arbiter, war wonltl break out to-mor
row between Frauce anti Germany, for
the fatality of war Imnnts atnl overrides
both nations.—De Blowitz in Harper's
Pre-eviilutloiittry Srntm.
Most of the shortcomings of the old
method of historical writing resulted
from the fact that the world was looked
at from a statical pointof view, or as if a
picture of the world were a series of de
tached pictures of things at rest. The
Unman race anil its terrestrial habitat
were tacitly assumed to have been al
ways very much the same as at present
One age was treated much like another,
and when comparisons were made it was
after a manner ns different from the
modem comparative method as alchemy
was ilifiereut from chemistry.
As men's stndies had not yet been
turned in such a direction as to enaiiie
them to appreciate the immensity of
the results that are wronjht by the
cumulative action of minute causes,
they were disposed to attach too much
importance to tho catastrophic and mar
velous: and the agency of powerful in
dividuals—which upon any sonnil theory
must be regarded ns of great importance
—they not only magnified nndnly but
rendered it unintelligible when they
sought to transform human heroes into,
derai-gods.
It thus appears that the way in which
our forefathers treated history was part
and parcel of the way in which they re
garded the world, Whether in history
or in the physical sciences, they found
themselves confronted by a seemingly
chaotic mass of facts with which they
could deal only iu a vague and groping
manner and in small detached groups.—
Professor John Flake in Popular Science
Monthly.
"Onions Dolled In Mo1a.se*.
George Washington, while attending
a swell reception at Newport, noticed
that the daughter of his host. Miss
Ellery, was suffering from a severe sore
throat and conld not speak ubove
whisper. General Washington, observ
ing this embarrassment of. his youthful
hostess, said to her:
.“Miss Ellery, yon seem to be suffering
very much; what is the matter?”
Miss Elteky told him the canse of her
trouble, upon which the general said to
her:
“I suffer very frequently from a sore
throat and take a remedy which I find
very useful, and which I would recom
mend to yon were I not sure you would
not take it"
“But I am sure," replied Mine Ellery,
“that 1 would take any remedy that
General Washington would propose."
"Well, then," said the general, "it is
this—onions boiled in molasses. It has
cured me often."
Miss Ellery took the remedy and, of
course, was cured.—Exchange.
Some Ben* Old Chine Pitchers.
The naval battles and heroes of the
war of 1812 furnished many subjects for
use in decorating pitchers, and some
bear inscriptions far from flattering to
English vanity. With the portraits of
Perry are the words of his famous dis
patch. "We have met the eueiuy and
they are ours." With Lawrence, his
dying words. "Don’t give np the ship."

The Marqttls of Ailesbury, who is ap
plying to the courts for permission to
tell his estates to Lord Iveagh for £750,-
000, was better known to the pnblio aa
Lord Saresnake. The lands in question!
came into possession of the family
through an ancestor who married the
heiress of one of the wealthy Seymours,
the Dukes of Somerset. One of the Sey
mours had previously married a daugh
ter of Sir William Stormy, of Chadham
in Wiltshire, the male members of whose
family had been bailiffs of the Royal
Forest of Savemake since the days of
Henry H. Tottenham Park, so long the
chief seat of the Ailesburye, is situated
in Savemake forest. »
As things go in these degenerate days
£753,000 seems a very fair price for 40,.

asked whether he had made any provi-
