Mcs Moore and Mr , Chow visited the ex
position grounda yesterday In company
with Manager Itoaewater , who pointed ou
the various buildings and points of Interest
Mr. Moore was greatly pleased with thi
beauty and extent of the preparations In

learning all that pertained to the partlclpa
tlon of the Chinese.
After Inspecting the grounds the party
returned to tbe Mlllaxd hotel , and at noon
Mr. Moore took lunch with the executive
committee.
After reaching his room at the hotel Mr
Moore consented to an Interview by a repro
etcitatlve of The Dec. Mr. Moore cpeaks
English fluently , and explained that he liac
been In this country about eight years , a
different times , as an attache of the Chines
legation. He expressed In an unrcservec
manner his gratification at the evldeneo o
substantial progress In exposition prepara
tlons wblch .ho bad just Wltnesacd , and ealt
he had been pleased to eec the real beauty o
the grounda and buildings.
"I was prepared to see something vcr
beautiful , " said he , "for I have seen man
pictures of your buildings and grounds I
the east , so that I was not as greatly sur
prised as I might have been had I no
known what you were doing. It Is evldcn
that you are going to have a very larg
exposition and I stall tike pleasure 1
pending the summer hero as the repre
sentatlvc of my government. I am her
by the direction of the Chinese minister
and shall report to him what I have set ;
and also all information regarding the In
forests of our people who arc connccte
with the exposition. I expect to leav
Omaha In a day or two and will go direct t
San Francisco , but will return in time fo
the opening of the exposltlan. At that tlm
I shall take a house and establish myse
comfortably until the exposition closes.
"I cannot say as to just what our minister
tor Intends with regard to our partlclpatlo
In too exposition , " continued Mr. Moore
"My report to him Is for the purpose of In
forming him as to the exact status of af
fairs here , and ho will then Instruct mi
what Is to bo done. ' " s
The conversation drifted to the war wit !
Spain and Mr. Moore remarked that ho hat
only recently returned from Havana. "
went to Cuba a llttlo over two years ago , '
said be , "and left thcro but a few day :
before your consul general , Mr. Lee , cam *
away. I waa In Havana when the Malm
was blown up and saw the whole of tha
terrible affair. It was my pleasure to tak ;
part la < ho dinner given by the Havani ,
Yacht club to the officers of the Maine sooi ,
after they arrived In the harbor , but I
was a sad duty to u'ttend ' the burial of tbos
poor sailors , " and Mr. Moore shrugged hi
shoulders as ho spoke of tbo gruesom
sight.
"I came to the conclusion that there wa
going to bo trouble there , " said he , quick !
changing the subject wltb a smile , "and
returned to Washington. From there
came hero on a tour of Investigation. "
Mr. Moore had heard tome terrible etorle
about the hot weather In Omaha In the sum
mer time and Inquired rather anxiously abou
the temperature us compared with Washing
ton. When ataured that Omaha was a mud :
cooler spot than the national capital In th
summer neason , 'he ' seemed relieved and mad !

Mnjnr Mctvellyn Itegln * thp Selection
of Illii Exposition Force.
Tbe wholesale establishment of Manager
Klrkendall on lower Harney street presented
bucy sight yesterday , the street In
rent of the door and the frcnt of the utor.v
octn being crowded with men , A policeman
was required to keep Hie sidewalk cleared
and to keep the men In the crowd from
lushing their way Into the store through
bo windows. It had been noised about
hat Major Llewellyn , commandant of the
guard for tbe exposition , and Manager Klrk
endall were about to open a recruiting offlco
and the crowd waa there to offer Its service
as membcrn of the organization which will
preserve order on the exposition grounds.
Major Llewellyn wan found on the Inside
of ttio store , barricaded behind a railing ,
but Manager Klrkendall had deserted his
pest and "gone up town. " The major held
Jic fort , however , and called In the ap
plicants singly. He * put Idem through a
course of questioning regarding them
selves and made copious notes , of
ho personal appearance ot each man
and the account he gave of himself. Each
w > 2s told that he would be notified by mall
f his services should ba required.
Dy this method about 200 wcro put through
.heir paces during the morning aud an equal
number during the afternoon.
A good portion of those applying for posi
tions on the guard wcro country boys of
athletic appearance arvi bright faces. They
came from all points of the compass , many
being from neighboring towns In Nebraska
and Iowa. A number ot the applicants said
they had served as guards at the World's
fair and at tbe Nashville and Atlanta ex
positions. >
No appointments have been made'for tbe
guard , and none wlll bo announced fot.sev-
eral days.
The uniform to bo worn by members of the
guard has been practically determined upon ,
although not officially adopted. As at pres
ent contemplated , the uniform will bo dark
blue in color. The coat will bo a double-
breasted sack , with brass buttons , trousers
of the same color as the coat , with a. white
strlpo at the outside seam. The hat will be
ho United States regulation "campaign hat. "
The character of accoutrements to be worn
: iy the guards has not been determined , there
being a difference of opinion as between a
policeman's club and a short sword.

THUG PATH10T1SJI AT AM. TIMES.
Inbbl Franklin Expound * the Doc
trine of ( Moderation.
Moderation was the theme of Rabbi Frank-
In's sermon last night at Tern pi o Israel.
'Tho bard knew not how well he sang when
10 sang ot the golden mean , " eald the
peaker. The brute knows no medium man
alone knows moderation , and the step from
moderation to Indulgence , from enthusiasm
6 mailneerj , la so short that possibility for
; oed Is frequently debilitated Into evil.
Overzealousness may work to the detriment
of a cause which reasonable cnthuslaau
would foster.
Patriotism Is the greatest of social virtues ,
aald Dr. Franklin , and In the present crlnl
wo have on opportunity to eee It manifested
on all sides. In America there arc few
nen who would not lay down their lives for
: helr country If It became necessary , yet
wo have an opportunity of seeing much so
called patriotism' . The earnest prayers
which went forth from millions of hearts
that this war might be averted were far
more patriotic ttan the beasts of our power
to conquer Spain nnU- the clamor for a
contest. When tbe Omaha militia left to
prepare for "war ithc silent tears of the
mothers who sent -eons Into the struggle
represented far more patriotism than the
noisy shouts of men Who made no sacrlflre.
In these troublotM times It Is Imperative
: hat every man should restrain his en-
Ihuslasm andf let' reason hold eway over
passion. Dov6tloU 'to the .stars and stripes

In thq present struggle reison fells every

his victories will not be Judged by the
amount of blood ho spills. Patriotism wins

"May the result ot the contest be that
the .stars and stripes chall wave proudly

carry the news that right and liberty have
scored another victory , " said the speaker.
"As for poor , benighted Spain , wo should
remember that It le our duty to destroy tbe
sin and not the sinner. U Is 'our duty to
establish liberty and JusticeIn the place
of cruelty And oppression , and -fate will care

.oday to paes on the bids.
After completing the routine business the
ward took up the question of fixing up
.he Dodge school 'building for A city Jail , nnd
ilcalth Commissioner Spaldlng , Chief Gal
as her and Captains Haze and Mostyn were
: allcd In for consultation. It was prac
tically decided that the double row of cells
will occupy the cast part of the first floor.
This will hold twelve cells , or double the
number now In use , and leave eighteen
inches of space In the center for a sewer
and four feet on each side. The drill roam ,
emergency hospital and officers' quarters will
occupy the remainder of the flrat floor , and
the police court , matron's room , bath rocms ,
etc. , will occupy the second flocr. City En-

Uutlcr will draw up plans In accordance
with this arrangement , and If they are com
pleted In tlmo a special meeting of the

I you want a Jittlo boys' suit and if you want to see
your dollars enlarge before your eyes , just come in
here Saturday and we will give you two dollars worth
of suit for one dollars worth of UiiehT Sam's small
change. That's a fact. We opened up yesterday ,
two cases of knee pant suits for lads under 14'and
never have wo put such low prices on children's
suits before. These are Fancy suits. They are
made up from fancy cassimere , fancy Scotch goods and
fancy worsteds , and they were made by a linn whenever
never made a poor or cheap suit in their lives. Our
buyer saw a chance to get a lot of them at his own
price and of course he took them , and of course that
means that you will got a bargain with a great big
B. There are not a great many suits altogether and
we cannot duplicate them and the prices will bo
§ 2.25 § 2,50 § 3.00 a suit. The § 3.00 suits were
made up to sell for at least live dollars , the § 2.50
suits should bring four dollars , the § 2.25 suits would
be great value at three-fifty a suit. These suits will bo
on sale commencing Saturday morning and you should
hurry because the quantity is not great and it is'nt
often you have a chance to get suits like thcse"at the
prices we offer them Saturday. Children's Dept.
