EXPOSITION FIGURES. SOME ASTONISHING FACTS ABOUT THE PAN-AMERICAN. Niagara Falls Will Sipply Power, and Over 300,000 Electric Lights Will Be Used in the Illumination of the Tower and Courts.

Forty million people live within a night's ride of Buffalo. It is expected that a large proportion of these will rlsit the Pan-American Exposition at some time during its progress. Many will visit it five, ten, or twenty or more times. Niagara Falls will prove a treat magnet In drawing visitors to the Exposition. Altogether It is fair to expect that the attendance at this first Exposition of all the Americas will be the largest in the history of Expositions in either the New World or the Old. Ten million dollars represents approximately the coat of the Exposition, exclusive of exhibits. The authorized capital stock of the Exposition Is $2,500.000. The authorized bond issue Is $2,500,000. The government appropriation is $."00,000. The cost of the Midway Is $3,000,000. The New York state appropriation is $300,000, and In connection with the New York building about $100,000 will be expended by the Cit7 of Uuffalo and the Buffalo Historical Society. The appropriation from states and foreign countries together with the cost of buildings to be erected on the Exposition grounds -by the City of Buffalo and by private citizens will Carman iVco bring the total cost o the Exposition up to fully $10,000,000. The area of the Exposition site is 350 acres. This includes 133 acres of park lands and lakes in Delaware Park, one of the most beautiful parks in the world. The plot Is a mile and a quarter from north to south and half a mile from cist to west. Three hundred thousand incandescent lamps will be used in achieving the grand Illumination about the Court of Fountains, Electric Tower, Esplanade and Plaza. Four hundred miles of wire will be used In the installation of the lamps for this Illumination. Two hundred and fifty tons will be about the weight of this quantity of wire. Ninety-four large-sized searchlights will be placed under the water of the basin of the Court of Fountains to cast colored lights on the fountains and cascades and heighten the beauty of the electric and hydraulic effects. Cne million, three hundred and ninety thousand square feet is the approximate area of the courts to be illuminated. This is two and one-half times the area of the courts at the "World's Fair, twice the area of those at the Paris Exposition, and three times those of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition at Omaha. LASSOING DOGS. The doc catcher of a town in tlie Indian Territory can give a city dog catcher cards and spades and then beat him as a capturer of canine animals. An expert cowboy hunts dogs as he does cattle. He ropes them the same way. Clad in a pair of buckskin trousers, and wearing a big sombrero, with rope in hand or on the saddle horn, and a six-shooter In hi3 belt, he starts down the street on his broncho looking for dogs. As he spies one which has no legal right to roam at large he sticks the spurs to his pony, grabs his rope and begins operations. He usually rops tho dog around the neck, draws him to the pony's side and shoots him. lie then stuffs the carcass into a sack attached to the saddle and gallops off after more "game." If a stranger Is watching the performance the dog catcher does some fancy roping. He will rope tho dog around the front foot or hind foot, or around the body between the feet. He hardly ever misses his mark. Dog catching in the Indian country The lemtory of Oklahoma seeks Statehood and makes a good claim to it It contains 400,000 people, 90 per cent of whom are native Americans and 100.000 of whom are school children; they have 2,000 schoolhouses. no penitentiary, not a poorhouse, and only six per cent of illiteracy less The generation race. A rare picture one well done. One way to make an army fly Is to break Its wings. A probability Is something that may possibly happen. Only the fool depends on what may possibly happen. A pretty sales woman Is a first-class counter attraction.

Two thousand Incandescent lamps will be used In the illumination of one feature of the Midway alone the Thompson Aerio-Cycle. As many and perhaps more will be used in illuminating the Streets of Mexico. Other Midway structures will also be profusely illuminated and the lights thus used are all additional to the 300,000 required for the illumination about the courts of the Exposition. Thirty-five thousand gallons of water per minute will be required for the fountain display of the Exposition, which will be the most elaborate of any ever undertaken for a similar purpose. Fifty feet will be the height cf some of the jets In the Court of Fountains. The jets will be electrically illuminated at night. Seventy feet is the height of the cascade falling from the front of tLe Electric Tower into the basin below. Five hundred and sixty-five b7 two hundred and twenty-five are the dimensions of the basin of the Court of Fountains, which equals DS.S72 square thousand horse power of electricity will be delivered in Buffalo from

the plant of the Niagara Falls Power Company at Niagara Falls, for use in illuminating the buildings and grounds of the Pan-American Exposition and turning the wheels for operating machinery. 5,000 horse power will also be generated on the grounds. The service arranged for contemplates the utilization of the water power of Niagara, the use of gasoline for motive power, of gas both under boilers, producing steam, and in gas engines, producing energy; thus giving the Pan-Araeri-can the greatest variety of sources of power ever enjoyed by any Exposition. Twenty-six million, five hundred and seventy thousand feet oi lumber has thus far been used in the construction of the Exposition. Seventeen million, seven hundred and sixty-five thousand square feet is the amount of surface covered with staff. One hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards represents the approximate amount of excavation done. Six million, two hundred and fortytwo thousand is the weight of the steel and iron used. Including bolts and washers. One hundred and twenty-five original sculptured groups will be used in the adornment of the courts, fountains, buildings and grounds generally. This Is the work of the most famous sculpSystematic Raids Upon Canines Instituted in the Territory. is more ticklish business than It is In the cities in the states. The catcher not only has to dodge fiatirons, mop .-ticks, and brooms thrown by irate women (for a wild-looking cowboy with a six-shooter has no terror to an Indian Territory woman), but he has Indians to deal with. An Indian thinks almost as much of his dog as he does of his kids, and if the dog catcher by mistake kills it there is trouble. Dogs belonging to Indians are exempt from taxation. Hut the Indians must brand them. The dogs of non-citizens are the ones discriminated against. If their masters fail to pay tax on them then they must pay the penalty of death. In order to evade the tax occasionally a non-citizen forges a brand and marks his dog as If it belonged to an Indian. In order to prevent frauds of this character the dog catcher must be an expert on dog brands.

EDWARD HALE BRUSH. An Cneianipled Treat. The Niagara Frontier will be th most interesting place in the world next summer, and the whole world should journey there. The unexampled treat awaiting visitors Includes the most beautiful spectacle In the history of Expositions, at Buffalo; the grand est natural scenery and the greatest power development in the world, at Niagara. The Pan-American Exposi tion and the wonders of Niagara are less than twenty miles apart, and the fast trains cover the distance in about half an hour for keeping the foolish from apply ing their hearts to golf, yet the young ladies of long ago who held to sam piers and mourning pieces of an after noon with a fervor better imagined than experienced, sometimes had their belief in its utility rudely disturbed. An anecdote in some reminiscences of Mrs. Anne Jean Lyman, a prominent New England woman and a contemporary of Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, records what may be considered a standing epitaph for fancy work. When Mrs. Lyman was Miss Hohalns, and a very charming young lady, she went to visit some friends of his in Hingham. A young man, calling on the ladies one day, found them busy embroidering mourning pieces in which tall women fn short waists and long skirts stood weeping by a monument. They begged for a motto for their pieces, and instantly got this bit of wit: In useless labors all their hours art spent. They murder Time, then work his monument. "I have nothing but my heart to give you." said a spinster to a lawyer who had succeessfully concluded a case for her. "Well." sa-'d the lawyer, gruffly, "go to my clerk; he takes the fees." lation was about CO.000. Such progress has been made ' by no other area ol equal size in the United States. If Indian Territory should within a foi years be added to Oklahoma, the two would have a population of at least a million, who would cast 100,000 votes and pay taxe3 on $150.000,000 of property.

TALM AGE'S SERMON.

SPEAKS OF THE CONSOLA TIONS OF RELIGION. Eoiie Comforting Thoughts for Those Whole Live Have Many' Anxieties The Insufficiency of Worldly Success Trust Thoroughly in Hod. (Copyright, 1001, by Louis Klopsen, X. T.) Washington, Feb. 3. There is a great solace in this discourse of Dr. Talmage for those whose lives have many anxieties; text, Isaiah iii, 10, Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him." Here is a promise for people who are all right, but who will come and get it? How many, or rather, how few. people do you know who are all right? If it were asked of any assembly that those who were sinless should rise up, none would rise except imbeciles and religious cranks. An accident happen ed near sixty centurhs ago that start ed the human race in the wrong way, and we have not got over it. We know a great many splendid men and splendid women, but they will tell you that thev have not always done the right thing or thought the right thought. If , it were any of your business, they I could give you an inventory of frailties 1 and mistakes and infelicities that would be astonishing. Here, then, you say, is a Bible promise that goes a-b gging, "Say ye to the righteous that it j shall be well with him." Moral ltankruptry. By sin we have all been mora.ly bankrupted. Christ the Lord from his Infinite riches pays our debts and em- j paradises us in his mercy. From his i richest wardrobe he puts on us the clean robe of his righteousness and I gives us a place in the heavens when j we are ready to go up and take it. j Now, as to our spiritual estate we are j all right. We were morally diseased, j but Christ, the Physician, by a bath j in the fountain of his grace, cures us Now, as to our spiritual health we are ; all right. That is the way we come to the righteousness spoken of in the text. It is a contributed righteousness, a made over righteousness, an imputed righteousness. The moment you get into right relations with Christ the Lord that moment you can appreciate the magnificent comfort of the text. and I defy you in all this great book ! from the first verse of the first chapter of Genesis to the last verse of the last chapter of Revelation, to find me a passage with higher and deeper and broader and longer comfort than that of the text, which is as deep as the Atlantic ocean half way between the continents and high as the sun when the clock is striking 12 at noon. But I shall be swamped with the oceanic tides of this subject unless the Lord help me to keep a foothold. "Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him." KW'he and ioul Work. How many men do you know worth $250,000 who are devout and consecrated and humble and generous and employing their means for the world's redemption? You could count them up on the fingers of your two hand3 eTen if by accident or war you had lost one or two of the fingers. As to the realm of personal attractiveness, how many women radiant of countenance and graceful of form do you know who are unaffected and natural of manner and deeply pious before (lod, using their beauty for the betterment of the world and not for selfish purposes? 1 only take the risk of asking the question and leave to you the risk of answering It. these things I say to show you that in order to have the promise of the text fulfilled in your case it is not necessary you have phenomenal worldly success. MUery of Loving Too AIui-li. Financial loss, which i just now said is sure to come, never breaks up a man who has strong faith in God. In most cases it is a loss of surplus or it is the banishment of luxuries. Most of the wants of the prosperous classes are artificial wants. The late Mr. Armour of the $60,000,000 estate pointed to one 1 of his clerks on ordinary salary and said, "That man has better appetite j than I, sleeps better nights and njoys life more than I do." Oh. the gigantic miseries of those who have too much! A man in Solomon's time expressed as philosophic and reasonable a wish as any man of those times or of our times. His name was Agur, and he offered a prayer that he might never have a superabundance or a deficit, crying out. "Give me neither poverty nor riches." On the one side he had seen the awful Btruggle of the poor to get foo.l and . .. .. .. . . . clothes and snener and to educate their children, and on the other side he had seen the gouty foot, and the indigestion, and the insomnia, and the anxiety about large investments, and the threatening paresis often characteristic of those who are loaded up and down with too many successes. Those people who are generally called the masses that is. the most of folks have the things absolutely necessary for their well being. They have no Murillos on their wall, nor a "Belshazzar's Feast" in their dining room, nor a pair of $3 000 sorrels at their doorway. But they have something which ' those superabundantly supplied seldom have. They have better health because, being compelled to walk, they get the necessary exercise, and, their diet being limited to plain food, thy do not suffer from midnight salads and are not victimized by rare caterers. They retire for wholesome sleep at the very hour In which others are leaving their homes for the dance or the card party. They will sleep the last sleep just as well in the plain graveyard as those who have over them an arch of sculptured granite in the costliest necropolis or most historical abbey. jmt Well Knough Alone. The reason so many people are miserable is because they do not let well enough alone. They are in one occupation and see its annoyances and so change to another occupation and find as many annoyances, if not more. They live in one place and know its uncomfortable environments and move into another place which has just as many limitations. Their Investments yield

them 4 per cent and they sell out to enough to see any response intrrstelmake Investments that will yield 10 lar. We do not positively know that per cent and lose all.

"Xo doubt of it," was the reply. "And do you not think he will govern it quite as well when you are gone out of it?" 'Certainly." "Then pray, sir, excuse me but do you nor think you may trust him to govern it as long as you live in it?" The remark

was so sensible that sleeplessness departed and tranquility came. A particular Providence is as certain as a general Providence. It did not just happen so that Brunei noticed a ship-worm boring into the wood, so suggesting to the engineer the tunnel- j ing of the Thames. It did not just j happen so that a spider's web strung from tree to tree sueeested the sus- I pension bridge to its first originator. I Nothing just happened so in your life or mine.

Water . j by the riverful. Water by the lakeful. , I Water by the oceanful. Some for ablu- . I tion. some for slaking the thirst, some i for baptistry, some for fountains and aquariums.

I had been fami- ! ! liar with this wonderful element of j nature from childhood, having been ! born on the banks of the beautiful I Raritan, and as a barefooted boy dab- ; biet, in the brook near my father's ' house.

You forget you ever saw the less glorious waters at Chatsworth, England, or Versailles, France, as you stand in the balconv or the na ace overlooking tne i Finland gulf, bewildered and transported as you look at the one display called the Golden Stairway fountain. The water rolls down over 21 steps one foot high and 20 feet long. All of these 24 steps are covered with sheets of burnished gold. Silver step of the water on stairs of gold! What a glee of liquids! Holling, dashing, foaming, enrapturing splendors! Chorus of floods! Poetry of waters! Doxology of torrents! But that which most impressed me there and elsewhere is the abundance of water, the fact that there are so many waters that the continents can afford to throw them away into the sea, Hudsons and Ohios, Oregons and Amazons, Rhines and Danubes and Volgas, and so abundant that the earth can afford to have its oceans evaporate into the heavens. Mediterraneans and Atlantics and Pacifies. How rich the earth is with waters! Best beverage of all the nations. : for after tlie ri(.i,est banquet with the . rithct beverasres. everv one wants at least a sip of it water, cool water, God descended water! With still more abundance is the air ! distributed. An earth full of it. A sky full of it. Swiftest and strongest eagle cannot fly so high as not to have it in the nostril or under wing. And what affluence of sunlight! No one but the infinite God could dispense so much of it. The golden candlestick set on the blue mantel of the heavens! ! So great that tho Almighty is com pared to it, the psalmist crying out, "The Tx)rd God is a sun." lt is high time that we recognize in our liturgies and in our formulas of prayer the most abundant blessings of the universe which come to all.

He rings it a good while, so that every farmhouse within live miles hoars it. He may halt a moment to take breath and give the swet sounds time to stir up all the echoes of the hills. And when he is old and not strong enough to pull the rope any more, then he sits ! and listens while his son rings the j church bell. So my text seems a ben ot invitation and vic tory.

For good rollicking fun nothing can exceed the game known as the orehes tra players, which includes any num ber of guests, both men and women. When the company are assembled they form themselves into a large circle The players then choose from among their number one person whom they deem fit to be an able conductor, who, when chosen, assigns to each one some imaginary instrument which it is his duty to imitate as closely as possible, the sound with the voice, the. move ment with his hand's. When all are equipped they are ordered to tune up, and tlie fun commences. At the outset the kade-r begins to hum a lively air. the whole 'band joining in, each with his instrument. At regular intervals the conductor assumes tlie work of ona j of the players, while the player to j whom the instrument belongs takes j up the imaginary baton and conducts j until the leader again abandons tho I position.
