Pennsylvania are preparing for tho
Jamestown Exposition an exhibit
which must prove highly intere.-lln;
for it will be a fully illustrated his
tory of Pennsylvania and will have a
permanent value. Upwards of 100,-
000 documents have already been ex
amined and maps discovered illustrat
ing the period of 1660 when the state
was under the Swedish and Dutch in
fluence before the Arilval of Penn. A
map of 1715 will show the extension
of settlement from Pennsylvania
through ths Blue Ridge valley Into
the valley of Virginia. There are a

pushed forward rapidly is receiving
great assistance from Governor Penny-

8KAH OF PERSIA OEAD.
London, Jah. 8.—The Dailey Mail’s
correspondent at Teheran, In a tele
gram sent last night at 11:60 o'clock
says:
•The Shah of Persia died this even
ing, though no public announcement
of the fact will be made until tomor
row (Wednesday). It was evident yes
terday (Monday,) that the end was ra
pidly approaching and at 5 o’clock this
evening the heir apparent and the min
isters were summoned. The women fo
the palace began preparations for
mourning.
“Soon after sunset the doors of, the
harem were closed. This was tba sign
that all was over.
The news of the Shah’s death reach-
in the senate and high
j in the councils of his party.

more manifest a determination to
wrest control of the parly from the
hands of the President and hi: sym
pathizers snd to vest it in the Repub
lican faction which has come to be
known os anti-Roosevelt. Without
any election, on his part, perhaps, Sen

Washington. D. C.. Jan. 10—Is
Cuban situation shaping up so as
beconiq a serious question in Congr
before adjournment?
Is the President likely to send to
Congress a special message on the
Cuban situation some time In Febru
ary reciting officially the status of
affairs and the agitation in the Island
<or the United Slates to permanently
assume control?
To both questions the answer is
that the question may become an ex
tremely important one before another
two months have gone by, and the
hint Is already out that the President
will make a special and Important
message to Congress dealing with the
whole question, especially furnishing
an idea of how long this couutry may
stay in control.
Indications and inside information
e that the conservative eieme
who fear that the political affairs of
the Island may pasa imo the hand-
of the negroes, have begun an agita
tion in favor of this country remaining
In permanent possession. They de
clare that President Roosevelt ii
wrong in assuming that he people of
the Island are competent to rule it.
and they do not believe the United
States would hnve to do much fighting
to put down any rebellion that might
ensue against its authority.
Despite the views of the President
as to the future of Cuba resting in Its
own hands and bis desire to give the
people of the island one more chance
to rule it satisfactorily, he is said to
be not near so convinced as he was of
the fitness of the Cubans for self-gov
ernment. His mind Is receiving some
Jolts front letters pouring in on him*
from prominent business men and oth
ers, all Cubans, In which they beseoch
him not to turn t)»e island over to
certain anarchy. They declare that a
tremendous loss of property and blood
will follow furtbe* attempts of the
Cubans at goverlng themselves.
It remains to be seen whetehr Infor
mation of this kind, not to speak of
the official facts reaching him through
Governor Magoon, will have the effect
of forcing the President to place the
whole subject before Congress and
let It determine the policy of this
country as to the future of Cuba.
Curiously enough, both democrats
and republicans are holding aloof
from the question, which they realise
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD,
NEAR HARRISBURG.
Enola Has Sprung Up As If In A
Night—Saloons, Blacksmith 8hops
And Noisy Factories Ahe Barred
From Enola.
Harrisburg, Pa., January 10.—To
make homes for the 1,200 men em
ployed in the Enola freight yards, the
Pennsylvania Railroad has built a
town to order. It has sprung up as
if In u night. Across the Husque-
hunua from this place, where nothing
but bare hills could be seen awhilo
ago, there are now a nr.udrod dwel
lings, designed by the lending archi
tects of the country, :i picturesque
Inn, trees, wide paved streets, a
school, electric lights, waterworks —
everything a modern city dweller
could t»sk for.
Other industrial iowna like Pull

built complete before it bad a slugln
resident.
When tho Pennsylvania Railroad es
tablished its Enola freight yard in
connection with the new low grudet
route from Pittsburg east, It was met
by the question: Where will the-
workmen live? The town of Enola
Is an answer to this question which
means that too much cannot be dono
in order to secure the physical well
being of the P. R. R employes.
Forty-four houses were begun at
the same time; then fifty-six more,
now another half hundred hnve been
started. Evcntunlly it is tho Idea
that every house with Its grounds will

and nobody but Pennsylvania Railroad
men can reside there . The houses
