It is understood that the proposed bill providing a separate institution for the care of ep.leptics will be opposed by insane hospital authorities. A member of the state board of charities who it is understood intends to recommend the passage of the bill, says: 'The cost of the maintenance of an institution can be reduced irreatly by the use ot inmates who are able to work.

Th development of the Paii-Amerl-j ran exposition -t I'ufTalo is obsrrvrtl ' with profound iuien-oi throughout the j w.-strrn world. Aboo-t evi-ry d.iy j show s vonc new f:itur f the nintftiin(eni ntcrpiis.' completed. Some new town- rears aloft iis orna menial (inlia le. soi,ie new dome ireeuis it rounded top to the sUy, or some new deroraiion of form or eolor s added to tie wonderful bou-juoT of a reinfect 1 rJtl be. lilless. j Never was there an Krpositioii so novel, so unlike what the world has , learned to expect, as this With the : tionous examples of the Kxoositiouj bunder s nr and ceniu to look hvk upon with fond remembra' ee and tdmi ration the world has wondered if all ! that has been promised for the I'an- ' meriean would Ik realised. If one j may jndze by the present s'ap of the j vast work, tte millions ot visiters to IlufTalo during the exposition season, vshieh heirins on tie 1st of May next, will suffer no d'sapnointment. The Pm-Ameriean Kxposition will outshine its distinguished predecessors in many particulars. Of these the eourt settings are of first importance. In order that there may be abundant room for the elaborate decorative eflecl S( i aeres are alone devoted to courts. This area is two and a half limes th area of the courts at the Chicago Columbian Kxposition. About these lrord cou-ts ."re grouped a score of gJeat buildings, in which the multitude of exhibits from all parts of the weMern world are to le displayed. As a second important feature may be mentioned the ornate architecture, the use of plastic ornamentation of very intricate and beautiful design an. I the. employment of original sculptured groups in the exerior decorations of luiil'liinjs. entrances auil architectural features. No less than V2Ö original sculpmred groups, modeled by some o0 or more distinguished American sculptors, will be used iu this feature of the decorative work. The ue of an elaborate color scheme has never before been attempted at an exposition. The appropriate title of the "Kainbow City" has already been applied to this great group of brilliantly colored buildings, und lovers of color will lind the exquisite harmor.y of tints that has here been produced n most delightful subject for contemplation and study. As a fourth point of superiority may he named the hydraulic and fountain features. In all the courts are broad pools containing numberless cascades and fountains. These will add to the beauty of the grea work iu no small degree. Many of the tine sculpture will form h part of these charming fountains. A broad and stately canal. a mile and a half in length, banked with grass and lined with a double row of young trees, comp'etely encircles the main group of buildings. The horticultural embellishment of the grounds constitutes a lifth point of excellence. Ornamental trees, shrubs, lawns ami flowers of brilliant hue will TKMPLE OF MUSIC, delight the eye everywhere. Sunkt-u gardens and formal beds of tlowers will surround fountains and pools and border upon the walks throughout the courts. Crowning the great work of producing unparalleled vistas and an exposition pictuie of uurivaled beauty will be the electrical illumination. Ouly when a great volume of power Is available, such as Buffalo possesses iu the newly harnessed Niagara, could electric illumination be undertaken on so grand a scale. With unlimited power to draw upon, the electrician has had no restraining conditions in his work. The electric tower, 373 feet high, of rich and elaborate design, will form the centerpiece of the electrical brilliancy, while every building, fountain and architectural feature and even the broad surfaces of the artificial lakes and pools, with floating lights, will glow with electrical radiance and luster. The scene will be one of unsurpassed loveliness, hitherto Impossible aud unlikely Boon to be repeated again on account of the vast expenditure of electrical energy necessary to produce it. Makk Bennitt. Manitoba and the Exposition. The Pan-American Kxposition at Buffalo next year is assured of a representative exhibit from the Important province of Manitoba. Special Commissioner Henderson, who has made u tour of northwestern Canada for the Kxposition. met with gratifying success in arousing interest in the enterprise. Orrieon Kdltora Will Go to Buffalo. The Oregon Press association at Its annual convention recently voted to hold its annual excursion meeting In lDOl at the Pan-American Exposition.

We have only admiration for the courage, enterprise, liberality and miergy displayed by the city at the foot of the lake in preparing for the great Kxposition which is to be held next jear. If ever success was earned, P.ufialo has earned it- The city deserves to be tilled with visitors during the life of the Pan American Kxposition and to rcyp a rich harvest of honor, glory and substantial gains.-Cleveland Leader. "We have never advertised the resources of our stiite half enough." says The Titnes-I eniocral of New M leans in an article ii!on the Pan-American Kxposition. in which it urges a:i adequate representation of the resources of Louisiana. The same may be said of other states, and the opportunity now offered by P.ufialo is of exceptional value. Tlw enthusiasm and interest displayed by the people of southern California in the preparation of their great display of product for the Pan-American Kxposition present a lesson and an example for all citizens to contemplate. American enterprise seems to have a very high development in "the glorious climate of California." The Califoruians purpose to make a very large and effective display. One of the most conspicuous features of the Niagara Falls landscape now is a mammoth sign handsomely lettered thus: "Pan-American Exposition, liuffalo. N. Y., 1P01." There are several similar signboards placed w here thousands of people passing and repassing upon the great railroads may In this way have their attention called to the great event of next year which so vitally Interests all the states and countries of the western hemisphere.
