Professor F. W. Putnam, of Harvard Un

and anthropology, history and natural hii

In a plot of laud one thousand feet loc

aware* tbat a high civilization preceded 0<

they resemble the architecture used at th
very date in the construction of trust con
pany buildings and banks in the more mot
era city of Philadelphia. There is a port!
from the rained group of L3br<t, a straiffl
arch from Uxmal and the "Facade of tl

called the "House of the Nuns." are repri

walls, returned to Yucatan for a collection <

To those who think that a dead Indian is a
~ much mora artistic product of civil ization
than a tame one there will be plenty of satis.
faction in this department. The Anthropo^
logical Building, the last of all the fair structures
that it was decided to build, is 415 feet

much is given up to reminisce aces of Indian

b- In the archajological division, to which
it; I reference has been made, are arranged geoat
I graphically the shell heaps, ancient villages,
a- mounds, earthworks and pueblos, making a
ill very picturesque sight. In the great earthie
works of Ohio there are combined squares,
:11 octagons and circles, which are shown by
ie maps. The great mound at Cahokia, 111., is
id nearly 100 feet high, and the Serpent mound,
t
I
of Ohio, is 1400 feet long. These, as well as
Fort Ancient, the largest ancient fortification
in the country, and the Turner and Hopewell
groups are represented pictoriallv. One subdivision
of the section contains such special
exhibits as stone implements, pottery, ornaments
and pipes.
Everv material exemplifying primitive
modes of life, customs and arts of the native
peoples of the world is in the ethnological
section, and it illustrates the peculiarities of
the different races. As a contrast to the wild
Indians in their primitive state the United
States Government makes a special exhibit
of its Indian school system.
The tribes of Indians have prepared collections
of articles relating to themselves
which are entered for competition. These
are not exclusively of an entomological character,
but will deal with their modes of life,

In the department of natural history New
York State again takes the lead. The Wurd's
Natural Scicnce Museum, of Rochester, has
an exhibit which Professor Putnam says is
perfect. It shows every form of animal life
from sponges to man." Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Colorado send the birds and mammals
found in those States.
In the line o! documentary exhibits are
found charts and maps of thy world anterior
to the voyage of Coiumbu3 and at different
periods since. There are physical anthropological
statistics and criminal statistics. All i

WORLD'S FAIK NOTES.
Goverxob Flower, of New York, has been
spending a week at the Fa r.
With the opening of the German section ,
in Machinery Hall the display made by the
German Empire has been declared on exhibition
in every department of the Fair. The
exhibit consists of mining, wood-working
and printing machinery and the apparatus
used in the manufacture of paper and paper
pressing.
The home for tne little folks at the Fair
nas been opened with simpl9 exercises. The
programme was carried out principally by
children. A number of ?horu3es were sung
under the direction of Professor Hartunc.

in the gymnasium on the first floor, after
which luncheon was served. Tho children's
building is a typical kindergarten, and every
contrivance imaginible to interest and instruct
young folks has been secured. The
larger children will have the benefit of a
gymnasium ou the first floor, and adjacent
rooms have been flttid with cradles and cribs
which it is expectod will be used extensively.
Visitors at the Fair who have children can
leave tham here. No child under two years
of age will be admitted. The Japanese Commissioners
have given a large number of dolls,
and juvenile literature has been furnished by
the German Commissioners, Illinois giving
the book-oases. The building was erected at
a co3t of $45,000. The playground is on the
roof, which is furnished with swings and 1
hammocks. A trained corps of nurses will '
be in constant attendance on the children.
The formal opening of tho Electricity
Building has at last taken place. The feature J
of the display was the unveiling and lighting
of the big Edison tower erected by the Gen- j
eral Electric Comp;iny. This shaft is sit- j
uated in the exact centre of the building,and
represents the highest achievement of the in- ]
candescent lamp. It extends into the groined <
arch formed by the intersection of the nave
and the transept, reaching a height of about j
100 feet. The methods used in construction (
have resulted in showing a perfect column, (
as inougu me emiro sami wore ucwu irum (
ons massive block or stone. It springs from (
the roof of a pavilion surrounding the base, j
and the entire interior is strewn with thou- ,
sands of.incandescent lamps, as many hued j
a3 the western sunset. The colors are ar- ,
ranged by mechanical methods, capable of i
being flashed in harmony with the strains of ,
music. The column is crowued with a well- ,
proportioned replica of an Edison incan- |
descent lamp formed from a multitude of
pieces of prismatic crystals. Upward of 30,000
of these beautiful jewels are strung on a
frame, and are all lighted from the interior '
by a large number of insane!oscent lamps, t
The effect produced is marvelous, and can be 1
appreciated only when seen. 1

the Supreme Bench, presides over the court.
District Attorney Moody leads the array of

Robinson that of the defense. At
11 o'clock Miss A. Borden, the prisoner,
came slowly into the room, preceded by

the head, sat down, without raising her eyes
to his and passed on slowly to the dock.
Every seat in the room was occupied by talesmen
and newspaper men, no outsiders being

cvho had been accorded seats by courtesy.
Court came in at 11:27. Rev. M. C. Julien,
af New Bedford, made a brief prayer, Miss
Borden standing. The clerk was then directed
to proceed with the impaneling of the
jury. Miss Borden was asked to stand up
rod told of her right to challenge. Challenges
on both sidos were numerous. The
jury when it was chosen was formed of the
following men : George Potter, of Westport;
William F. Dean, of Taunton ; John Wilbur,
Df Somerset; Frod. C. Wilbur, of Raynham ;
Lemuel K. Wilbur, of Easton ; William Wesoott,
of Seeconk ; A. B. Hodge, of Taunton :
Augustus Swift, of New Beaford; Frank 0.
Cole, of Attleboro, John C. Finn, of Taunton;
Charles L Richards, of Taunton, and Allen

master mechanics and such like. To get a
dozen of them 101 were called. Fifty-two

iifference that had for years existed
between Miss Borden and her stepmother.

of the blade of the broken-handled
latchet was 31* inches: the Instrument

Ho testified as to the location ot
the bodies when they were lound. James A.
Walsh, a photographer, showed views of the
Borden house. Surveyors' and photographers'
evidence beinj; concluded, John V.
Horse, unclc of the prisoner, took the stand.
On cross-examination he swore that
sn reaching the Borden house after the murlcr
ho saw no officers in the yard ; that the
jarn door was closed and he heard no ono
nsido. This wntradicted tho Government's
jluima that officers. by immediate examination
of the barn, ascertained that the prisoner
could not have been there at the time
of the murder. A. G. Hart, Joseph Sliortlieve
and James Mather, witnesses, called
after five minutes' recess llxed the time when
Mr. Borden was lust seen. Cross-examination
developod nothing but slight confusion
And uncertainty as to tne exact time. Miss
Borden yawned and looked on listlessly.
Mr. Moody then called Bridget Sullivan
to the stand. Bridget Sullivan
was tho strongest witness ol
the day, but while her testimony placed Lizzie
Borden, the accused, in the home at
the hour of the murders, the effect of
.it was weakened by the statement, reiterated
with emphasis, that between the
accused ;inu her stepmother, there had
never been, to witness s knowledge, an unkind
word. When tho cross-examination oI
Bridget had been concluded the court adjourned.

Details of the Crime.
The eldest victim of the crime was Andrew
J. Borden, a capitalist of Fall River. Mass..
who was seventy years old. The other victim
was his second wife, stepmother to the
prisoner. She was considerably younger
than her husband, who married her wheD
Miss Lizzie was about four years old.
She was a large, fleshy woman. There
wore two naugaters. jjiotio auu rumua.
Emma was out of town on the day of tht>
murder, which took place on August 4, 1892.
Emma called her stepmother "Abbie," but
Lizzie did not call her anything to her face
or speak to her at all. She quarrelled with
her live years ago because her stepmother
induced her father to clear a piece of property
of debt and give it to his wife's sister.
Miss Lizzie was born in 1860. She and her
sister had -35000 in cash or in mill shares or
in each form. This their father had given to
them.
At the time of the murder all the members
of tho family were 111. and this led to the
theory that they had all been poisoned. A
drug clerk was said to have sold prusaic acid
to Miss Lizzie, but it was a case of mistaken
identity. No poison was found in the bodies
of the victims.
On the morning of the day of the murder
Mr. Borden had been on his business rounds
and had come back. Mrs. Borden was I
dressing to go out. Bridget Sullivan was upstaira
washing windows. The old man went
to sleep on a lounge in the sitting room.
Tho wife continued dressing, if she was
not already dead, and Lizzie Borden, according
to her own story, went out to the
barn in the yard and stayed there thirty
minutes. She passed her father in going
out. and stopped to stroke his head. All this
was between half past ten o'clock and ten
minutes past eleven o'clock in the morning,
in a disagreeable side street, a semi-tenement
neighborhood with small shops in it.
It was in the heart of the city, in its business
part.
The wife had sent the servant to wash the
down stairs dining-room windows. At four
or five minutes before 11 the servant went up
to her room to lie down. She had been lying
there ten or fifteen minutes when Miss Lizzie
ha* fi*Am Hnmn afnira in a

suggesting alarm or terror. She is reported
to have seen Lizzie in tho kitchen, who said
either '-Father's dead; go for doctor" or
"Father's hurt; go for the doctor." The
servant wiil clear up this confusion as to
what was said.
The scrviint.Bridget Sullivan, went and came
back and was sent out to get a Mrs. Russell.
When she returned again Dr. Bo wen was
there and had been preceded by Mrs. Churchill.
a neighbor, whose windows looked close
upon the Borden house. These visitors sayr
the father's body. Mrs. Churchill said some
one should notify Mrs. Borden, and Lizzi9 remarked
that shethoughtshe heard her moiber
come in. The neighbor and servant went up
and discovered the dead woman. Both victims
had been brutally chopped about tho
head and face. Lizzie Borden was suspected
and placed under surveillance from the moment
the crime was discovered. Finally, the
District Attorney went before the Grand Jury
and declared that he had sufficient evidence
to convict her. -So she was indicted, arrested,
an J has been confined in jail ever since.
THE SIXTH WEEK.
Progress of the Opening of Exhib!t3

The sixth week s festivities at the World's

Danish societies of tho city came out together,
and at 12 o'clock 10,000 Danes paraded
