AVIiy St. Ijouls Sticacnilfl.
A roprosontattvo of the Cleveland
Loader who is making an investigation
ot the cost and value to a city of a
permanent exposition , writes as follows
to his paper from St. Louis.
Its history is a complete vindication
of the liberal-minded gentlemen who
conceived it , built it , and'havo carried
it forward to its phenomenal success
against the croakings of llio numberless
pessimists who exist in that ns in all
other communities.
The first to feel the necessity for such
nn institution for the city of St. Louis
was Mr. S" . M. Konnard , ono of the lead
ing citizens , whoso prophetic eye
seemed clearly to foresee its triumph
from the start , and with him were soon
joined others of llko progressive tend
encies , and in just three weeks after the
tchonio Was pioposcd the on tire amount
of capital stock was subscribed , the
original amount being $000.000 , in
shares of $25 each , hold by about 2,200
people. The subscription books were
opened in February ' 61 ! , it was in
corporated in May of the same.year , and
on August 1 of the following year it was
opened , This stock was popular from
the start , and to this fact mainly Mr.
Kennnrd , who has been president of the
company from the beginning , ascribes
its success.
Its hictory is not equalled by that of
any otner similar expositions in llio
country. The ground upon which it is
built was originally a park in the fash
ionable part of thn city where dwelt the
very haut ton of fifteen years ago. To
day it is in the midst of the busy , bust
ling business center of the city , within
a few blocks of the Union depot , easily
reached by some fourteen different
cable and horse oar lines , and as it oc
cupies the entire space formerly a park
it can ho pntercel from four different
sides. Another element of its success
is the low price of admission twonty-
five cents permitting the visitor
r to ROO all that the great build
ing contains , and to enjoy four concerts
daily , if ho and his "best girl" desire to
remain BO long , as there is a line restau
rant within the building , at which all
sorts of solid and liquid refreshments
may bo had though under the strictest
Burvoillnnco.
The total cost of the structure and its
appurtenances was something over
$5)00,000. ) The area from which it nt-
iracts visitors is estimated to bo over
600 miles , embracing all of Missouri ,
parts of Kansas , lowti. Illinois , Indiana ,
Arkansrs , Texas , Mississippi , Tennes
see , etc. , with an attendance which is
increasing each yoar. And the writer
is informed of another very desirable
result of this exposition , which it Would
ho a good thing for Cleveland to experience -
rionco , oven under like circumstances ,
( which is that since the inanguiation of
this enterprise the streets have been
koptfar cleaner than over before. It
has awakened the pride of the citizens
'in this respect , and there is hardly a
city in the union to-day which can
truthfully boast of bettor pavements
and cleaner streets than St. Louis.
Ono cannot fall to bo impressed with
another fact which speaks volumes for
the business foresight and broad-minded
and unselfish views of the gentlemen
who have brought this institution for
ward toils present high standing. They
did not permit its location to bo influ
enced by any man or coterie as a real
estate boom. They sensibly avoided
that ono main reason for the failure of
similar expositions in other cities ,
notably those in Denver and Kansas
City. They also claim , and with good
reason that it would bo a fatal mistake
to incorporate in such an institution a
permanent art museumas an exposition
of the character uf this at St. Louis is
entirely a business enterprise , and
should bo conducted upon fair and en
lightened business principles , and their
successful experience is the best guar
anty of the soundness of their views.
Ono objection raised at the time
the scheme was broached was that
it would moro'or loss seriously conflict
with the "St. Louis world's ' fair. "
which occurs each year at the same
time the exposition is opened , but experience -
porionco for six years has shown that
the condition which now confronts the
managers of both enterprises , very
deftly and decidedly "knocks out" the
pessimistic theory. No ruin has be
fallen either fair or exposition , but on
the other hand it is proved that they
are mutually beneficial to each other.
Somewhat at the expense of repetition ,
lot mo state what has boon done to
make the exposition what it it ) , that
the citizens of Cleveland who contem
plate the establishment of a like
institution may have a fair
conception of what is required :
Ground broken , August 22 , 1888.
Excavation , 60,000 yards of earth.
Building Length 488 foot , width 888
foot , holghth 108 foot.
Brick About nlno millions used in
its construction.

in the dry goods center , but received a higher offer during my.
absence in the eastern markets 'making purchases of stock ,
rented it to other parties. I , having purchased a stock for the

unprecedented in the

In the face of the stubborn fact that
nearly every other exposition has boon
a financial failure , this question is quite
natural and very vital , "Why should
the exposition of St. Louis bo such a
conspicuous exception to the fatal rule
which has governed the career of oth
ers ? "
That it has been such an exception
the following statement of annual re
ceipts will show : The first year the total
income was , in round numbers , 592,231 ;
in 1883 it had increased to 3100,780 ; in
1880 this flno showing was increased to
the grand sum of $121,311 , ; and in
1887 , the year of greatest prosperity ,
unless the present year shall show a
bettor figure , the receipts footed up
8120,013. In 1888 there was a falling pIT
in receipts , attributed by the financial
secretary to the excitement always at
tending a presidential election. This
year it is expected that there will bo a
grand increase in the number of ducats ,
as the management has made extra ex
ertions and has placed before the people
a greater variety and far moro interest
ing exhibits than over boforo.
And once moro : "Why is this expo
sition superior to all others in its suc-
cessV" Another very great factor lend
ing to its popularity and its financial
triumph , outside of the "cheap admis
sion" ia the business enterprise and lib
erality shown by the directors in get
ting "tho best and most instructive , ns
well as amusing entertainment for their
visitors "
And for this year , as an example ,
what are they : First , in the art gal
lery there is an evidence of this in the
collection of paintings by Vorestcha-
gen , the justly great and renowned
Russian artist , soldier and traveler ,
brought to this exposition at a cost of
over $12COO. Having a place where
those great works can bo seen , if not to
the best , at least to some advantage , St.
Louis was for that reason among others
able to secure this grand educational
display for its people a nloasuro which
cannot bo enjoyed by the citizens of
Cleveland until it can oltor some ade
quate place where they may bo safely
housed and shown.
Another attraction is the music. The
best military band in this country , if not
the world , is that of the Twenty-second
Now York rosrlmont , conducted by Gilmore -
more , and numbering sixty-live men ,
every ono of whom is an artist. The
directors have also had this hand hero
during the entire forty days , at what
everybody must know to have boon a
great expense. And last but most won
derful ot all are the electrical displays ,
including electrical music , the phonograph
graph , motors , etc.
It has been a success , it has boon de
servedly so , and it is to bo hoped that
Cleveland may ehow the same liberality
in the inception and management of its
exposition that it may bo classed among
the successes.

MYSTERIES.
There are moro things in heaven and earth ,
Horatio ,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Iffimlct.
Along the shore of the Oneida lake
there is an Indian's grave where at
times a weird and snoot-natural light
makes its appearance. It is described
as a ball of Tire about the size of a largo
orange , and sways to and fro in the air
about thirty foot from the ground , con
tinuing its irregular movements within
a space about ono hundred feet square.
People have attempted to go near
enough to solve the mystery , but it
would suddenly disappear before reach
ing it. A very peculiar story is told
by the neighbors near the spot. They
claim that many years ago the locality
was the part of an Indian reservation.
A man by the name of Bolknap fre
quently dreamed that there was a erode
in the Indian cemetery containing im
mense treasures , and if he went there
at the hour when the graveyards yawn
ho could secure it. Those dreams wore
repeated so often that they had a strong
effect , and ho wont there with pick and
shovel , according to instructions , but
ho failed to turn round three times
when ho found the crock , as the dream
directed. Ho wont to pick it up , but
was stunned by a flash of lightning , and
the crocic disappeared. Since that time
the spot has been haunted by this mysterious -
torious light.
Middlotown , N. Y.has , a faith euro
mission. Among the many regular at-
tondonts every Sunday is Mrs. Boyco ,
who , fourteen years ago , was attacked
by a disease of the eyes. She had con
sulted an eminent Now York oculist ,
whoso skill afforded her temporary re
lief. Of late years , however , she could
only distinguish light from darkness
with ono eye , and with the other read
the coarsest print with the aid of the
strongest glass. Mrs. Boyco was pres
ent at the services of the mission re
cently , when Elder Hancox , the pastor
of the faith cure church in Jersey City ,
ofliciated and told of the cures effected
by iaith and in answer to prayers. She
was deeply impressed , wont forward ,
told her trouble and asked prayers for
the restoration of her sight. After she
had boon anointed with oil , prayers
were offered by Elders Uancox and
Colliding. 'The next day she had occa
sion to rejoice , for her sight was sud
denly restored. Subsequently at the
services she was subjected to severe
tests , and. without a , glass , road agate
typo readily.
About flvo miles from the Hertford
shire residence of the marquis of Salis
bury , at a plane called Towin or Jowin ,
there grow from out of a grave live
largo trees , about which there hangs a
tale. It is said that Lady Grimestono
during her lifetime , denied the exis
tence of God , but added that if she
found a God when she wont hence five
trees would grow from out of her gravo.
In the natural order of events her un
believing ladyship died and was buried.
Singularly enough live trees did grow
from out of the grave , splitting the ma
sonry to pieces , so that it and the rail
ings which were around became a per
fect wreck. The slab bore the follow
ing inscription : "lloro lyoth intor'd
the boay of the Right Honorable Lady
Anne Grimestono , wife of Sir Samuel
Grimostono , Bart. , of Gorhambury , in
Hertfordshire , daughter of the late
Right Honorable the cart of Thanot ,
who departed this lifo November 22 ,
1713 , in the 00 year of her ago. " The
circumstance has frequently boon
quoted as affording indubitable proof of
the immortality of the soul.
A bunch of white crape hung on the
door at 18 Winter street , Detroit , the
other day. Inside the house a young
Polish woman , Susan Molafsky , was
wringing her hands and crying bittorlv.
Her four-months'-old baby had died.
To the neighbors Mrs. Molafsky said
that a short time before the birth of the
child she dreamed that she and some
friends were looking at the sky when
she saw a white thing in tho' air fly
around like a charmed bird that could
not got away from its charmer. It grad
ually came down until she made it out to
bo ai white dovo.f It cameT on down
gradually making its graceful rounds
shorter and shorter until it fluttered in
j her face and lit upon her shoulder. In
j a few days her child was born. About
a week before the child's death Mrs.
Molafsky had another dream , but this
time the snowy white dove took its de
parture from horrshoulder , and , flutter
ing round and roundit ascended higher
and higher into the azure blue until it
was lost to sight. She thought nothing
moro of the occurrence until the follow
ing Fridaywhou tlio death of the child
recalled the two dreams.
In the summer of 1872. on the 24th of
July , while sojourning in her homo in
Now Jersey a lady was awakened by the
tramp of a horse coming up the road ,
stopping at the gate , driving through
and uf ) to the front porch. She heard
her little nophow'fl merry laugh at
thought of her surprise and the distinct
voice of her brother trying to suppress
the child : "Hush ! do not let them ho.vr
us. " They drove down _ .to the barn.
She jumped from her bod1lier [ room was
on the parlor floor ) . Her husband wan
sleeping soundly. She did not disturb
him , hoping to give him such a pleas
ant surprise. She passed through the
dining room into the kitchen out on the
porch. She could see readily every
where. The night was very bright.
Bewildered , almost frightened , disap-
polntcdyot fooling sure of her brother's
near presence , she called his name with
no response , and returned to her hus
band telling to him her strange ex
perience. She made a no to of the dato.
Her brother clied that very day at sea ,
the 21th of July , 1872.
The deaths of ox-Judge W. B. Brown
and Frank Brown , his son , of Now
Philadelphia , O. , only three hours
apart , were most singular and sad. The
son had a deep affection for Ills father ,
who was on a bed of sickness and not
expected to livo. Frank had repeatedly
warned the family that whoa the hour
arrived for his father to die they would
not bo separated , but would cross the
river hand in hnnd. True ( o his pre
diction and wish , when the father was
passing quietly away , and the hour of
dissolution had arrived , the son , who
had boon in his usual health , throw up
his hand as an indication that ho too
was ready , and' fell vdead to the lloor.
The father never recovered conscious
ness , but died thrco hours later. Their
ages were eighty-four and thirty-six
respectively.
A mobt extraordinary coincidence has
been noted of late by an English paper ,
the facts of which , in brief , being as fol
lows : On the fith of December , 18G4 , a
boat containing oighty-ono passengers ,
while crossing the river Seine was cap
sized and only ono person was saved ,
whoso name was Hugh Williams. In
the year 1875 , on the very same day ,
another boat containing about sixty
persons , was upset and every soul per
ished save ono , and his name was Hugh
Williams. In 1820 , August 5 , a third
boat mot a like disaster. The number
of oassongors on board , however , was
only twenty-live , but singular to relate
the whole of them were lost with the
exception of ono , and the name of the
survivor was Hugh Williams.
Colonel John Walker , who died while
on a salmon fishing trip at Gasrio , Que
bec , the other day , had fulfilled in a remarkable -
markablo manner the wish ho uttered
when his friend , Sir John Ross , of Lon
don , England , dropped dead in the ace
of firing at a stag in Scotland a few
years ago. Colonel Walker then said
at the club hero : "When ray time
comes I hope I may bo catching a twon-
ty-eight-pound sa'lmon. " A letter re
ceived from Gaspowith details of his
illness , says lie was stricken with paral
ysis just after hooking a twenty-four
pound fish.
The Jefferson streotMethodist inurch
of Louisville , Ky. , which was dedicated
hero by Bishop Coonor a few Sundays
ago , would have boon in ashes the -day
before but for a singular dream of Miss
Belle Ferguson , the church organist.
The previous Thursday nignt she
dreamed several times that the organ
was in bad condition. The next day she
could not shako off the impression and
Friday evening she grow so uneasy that
she took a friend and wont to the
church. As soon as they opened the
door they found the altar beginning to
blare from a bunalo of rags that had
boon used in oiling and varnishing the
woodwork.
At Albany , Ga. , the house in which
Dick Winston died after being shot by
Jim Bland is deserted. It is a little
cabin at the side of a. trestle. The ne
groes all say that it is haunted by the
spirit of the murdorsd man. The clock
stopped and the organ became mute
when ho passed away. Doors and gates
slam to and fro during the night , and
no earthly hands can bo found tliat
touch them. Winston has been soon in
brohd daylight going through the cul
vert where ho fell when wounded , and
a negro claims to have seen him enter
ing the dark recesses of the tunnel
through the mountain where ho
worked.
