An Exposition of Modern Wonders The World's Fair of 1904 Is the Greatest Educational Factor as Well as the Most Stupendous Entertainment that Was Ever Organized-No Words Can Describe Its Magnificence or Magnitude Mr. E.E. Stevens, editor of the Min neapolis Union, visited tho World's Fair at St. Ixmls a few days ago, nnd the following lettor in tho Union des cribes In pnrt whnt his Impressions were: To Rcadora of "Tho Union": I have been through tho World's Fair grounds again today for tho third tlmo since coming to St. Louis Inst wcok, and every clay tho wonder within mo grows. 1 had Imagined from tho descriptions that tho manngement Intended to ecllpso anything ever before attempted, but I hnd no Idea of the tremendous size, tho mngnlflccnt designs, the splendid settings, nnd tho artistic beauty of the buildings. I was somewhat pre pared to fieo something of tho ordi nary, hut my mind hnd by no means grasped tho splondors which will bo open to tho visitors to tho World's Fnlr liis summer. Of course the grounds nnd tho buildings nt this tlmo nro In a chaotic stntc, nnd tho weather was unpropltlous for pleas ant visiting, but even with theso drawbacks, and with nothing but tho bnra and In many cases but partially finished buildings to bo seen, tho Copyright, 1901, by Louisiana Purchase grounds nro well worth traveling hun dreds of miles to see, even as they are. This being tho case, what will It bo when everything Is completed and when r.aturo has combined with art to mako this tho fairest vision ever seen by mortal eyes. It would bo presumptuous on my pnrt to attempt to glvo n description of tho grounds or of tho buildings, and when I attempt a description I nm nt a loss for words, nnd enn only repeat, "Wonderful, wonderful, won derful." Tho grounds nro a natural beauty spot, and with tho addition of tho buildings, tho statues, the fountains, tho lagoon, tho cascades, and all tho cunning contrivances of art, tho visit will be ono which will never ho forgotten, even If ono should not go inside tho buildings at all. And then tho insldo of tho buildings buildings covering acres nnd acres of ground, and stretching out for what seems to bo interminable distances when those are filled with tho works of nature, of art, of scienco nnd of skill from every portion of the known world, who would bo so foolish as to miss it? I would mako It compulsory upon every parent who can afford to do so, AMUSED MEN OF MONEY. Conductor Forgot His Audience In His Earnestness. Whnt Is known as "tho millionaire's train," running from Morrlstown, N. J., to Hohoken, carries a number of men known to tho world of finance. The conductor Is David Sanderson, to whom his passengers, grateful for his uniform good nature and efficiency, have Just presented n hnndsomo watch and a purso of gold. They Insisted on his making a speech and Sanderson did so, winding up in this way: "Somo peoplo wonder why It Is I have had such grent success In llfo; why I havo had no trouble with nobody. Even tho other conductors don't understand it nnd they often ask mo how I get along with tho drunks on my train, an I Just tell 'em " Such a shout of laugh ter went up from tho millionaires that Sanderson's speech ended then and there.

The Poet Stedman Has Written the World's Fair Hymn and It Has Been Set to Music. Western folk will be charmed by tho beautiful hymn written by Ed mund Clarence Stedman upon tho In vltntlon of the World's Fair manage ment. He calls It tho "Hymn of tho West," a title befitting so splendid a production. It has flvo stanzas, and Prof. John K. Palno of Harvard Uni versity, has written tho music, which Is no less grand. The first public ren dering of this hymn will bo on the opening day of the great exposition, Saturday, April 30, when a drilled chorus of COO voices will sing It. Other musical compositions specially written upon Invitation of tho World's Fair management aro a march by Frank Vnnderstuken, di rector of tho Cincinnati orchestra, and a waltz by Henry K. Hndley of ASWSSSt-W near neighbors, I managed to read a few paragraphs in my newspaper Ono of them told of a remarkable find by a Nippur expedition of tho University of Pennsylvania. It was nothing less than as well-preserved and thoroughly authenticated tailor's bill nearly 5,000 years old. Since Blmmelsteln himself is en gaged in tho clothing business, I thought ho would bo interested In this ancient relic, so I told him about it, but tho story seemed to make no Im pression on him. "Hang it, man," said I, "don't you understand? It's a tailor's bill almost 5,000 years old." "Veil," ho answered, "vot lss good for? Dey can't gollect It.'

Dozens of Unique Materials Used In the Creation of World's Fair Statu ary. Enduring marble and temporary staff, which havo marked tho statu ary of past expositions, are not the only kinds nt tho Louisiana Purchase Exposition, although more works of art carved from these materials are there exhibited than wore eer col lected at ono place In tho history of the world. Many odd materials have been mndo up into artistic figures that elo quently proclaim tho idea of tho de signer. Some of theso unique statues are colossal In size and large sums of money were expended In their mak ing. Birmingham, Ala., has built n statue of Vulcan. It Is 50 feet high, the base constructed of coal and coko and tho statue cast in iron. It por trays Birmingham's importance as a manufacturing center. King Cotton is Mississippi's offering. Cotton Is the material used, and tho giant is as tall as Alabama's Vulcan. Tho Spirit of Utah Is manifested In an artistic llgure modeled from beeswax. Idaho presents tho figure of a Coeur d'Alenc miner cast from copper. Golden butter was used by a Minne sota artist as the appropriate ma terial for a statuo of John Stewart, the builder of tho first creamery. louislana presents two curiosities In .. sculpture a figure of Mcphis topheles In sulphur and Lot's wife carved from a block of rock salt.

SERVED AS MESSENGER BOY. Congressman Hardwlck Mistaken for One of the House Pages. Congressman Hardwlck, tho boyish looking man from Georgia, lias had tho experience that has befallen other youthful statesmen. Ho was stand ing close to the speaker's desk one day whon ono of the reading clerks, mis taking him for a page, said: "Run and bring me that paper that Is lying on Gen. Grosvenor's desk." Smiling nt tho clerk's error, tho Georgian did as requested. Half an hour later tho chnlr recognized "tho gentleman from Georgia," and to tho surprise and mortification of the reading clerk, Mr Hardwlck, tho beardless boy, who had performed messenger duty a short tlmo previous, arose and delivered a long speech on the race problem In the SOUtJl.

The day ot his return, seeing htm at his post, Mr. Wright asked him with a smilo how ho liked his beef ten. "Shure, not a bit," said the old man, bluntly. "Why," said Mr. Wright, "beef tea is delicious if you heat it and add a little salt and pepper." "Well, sor, it may bo good thot J way,' said John. "But I put milk and sugar to It." Los Angeles Times. TO BUY TEMPLE FARM FAMOUS SPOT MAY BECOME NATIONAL ESTATE. Here Cornwatlls Surrendered His Army to General Washington, and Here In 1635 Was the First Revolt AgainEt British Rule. An estate owned by n Detroit man, which Is creating national Interest and discussion, and which may soon become the property of the nation, is the famous old Temple farm in Vir ginia. As one of the most Interesting relics, of United States history nnd tho scene of Washington's triumph over Cornwallls, this beautiful spot la a center of interest to thousands of patriotic Americans. So closely is it connected with the Important events In tho formation of the country that it is often called "tho central spot In history," nnd from all sides petitions ire pouring In to tho government to buy the farm and house and preserve 'hem as n monument to the memory it tho first president of the United States. Temple Farm was the home succes ilvely of Ivord Spottlswood, Washing- .on, Lafayette and Rochambeau. It Is iltuated In one of the most plcturesquo spots In America, and of Its 500 acres nearly 400 aro now in a state of beauty. To the east is an uninterrupt ed view of Chesapeake Bay. To the north can be seen the marine traffic jf tho York river navy, to tho west "ises tho monument erected by the federal government commemorating tho surrender ot Cornwallls, and that Dther spot snered to tho memory of ieroes tho National cemetery. Barely a mile away Is quaint York town. Not only are the surroundings jf Temple farm historic, but the farm itself with the famous old "Mooro houso" upon It. has hardly a spot which has not borne tho footprints of armies. The famous "McClellan road" is here; the remains of the first placo of worship in Virginia are another Inter esting relic, us well as the oldest marked grave in the United States. But of the many historic associa tions of the place the most interest ing is that of the event which won for Washington the title of "Father of His Countrj.' Here, in the corner room of the Mooro house, facing tho war-spoiled fields, the articles of capitulation between Cornwallls and Washington were drawn up by tho commissioners, and nearly 9,000 Eng lish soldiers marched through the old farm toward Yorktown, prisoners of war. On this samo spot in lf.35 came the iic first revolt against British rule, so that Temple farm has the distinction of being the spot where tho first and last act of revolt which led to the birth of the republic took place. Jzmes J. Hill's Hobbies. Solid business man that ho Is, James J. Hill yet has a passion for doing odd things. In a remote part of the grounds sur ninding his St. Paul homo ho keeps two bi'ffalo, "because they remind mo of my eld frontier life." Mr. JIn takes delight in stalking tho buffalo and watching them by the hour mak ing the best of their captivity. He is also very fond of bkins, and he has a strong box filled with sables and other valuable furs that ho has been years In getting together. If the occasion ever arose, Mr. Hill could turn furrier and open up a store that would rival any of those most fash onablo In the metropolis. Mr. Hill also has a valuable collec lion of gems, nnd he has a penchaut tor carrying around a pocketful cf them. Once, at a large dinner in New York, he took from his pocket a handful of big emeralds and passed them around the table for inspection. Lock Up the Nutmegs. "Every careful mother," said a doc .or in the outdor department of St. Vincent's hospital, who had Just treat d a child made violently 111 from mewing a nutmeg, "should keep nut nogs as far out of reach of her child en as she does tho ammonia bottle or he carbolic acid. Nutmegs aro a leadly poison. I remember a case on ho East Side, about six years ago, vhero a boy eight years old died in treat agony after chewing and swal owing two nutmegs. As a general hlng, small children do not like to nterfero with pepper, ginger and stmt ar aromatic spices left around In iltchon cupboards. One taste Is mough usually.
