I *>?~ ?u? 1. l.._: ?1,Q tnaf , xiuui iuc limit? tiuiiufc; ii?" lew weeks, all danger Is past that the Cotton States and International Exposition at Atlanta, Ga., wiJl not oper. its gates on the date originally fixed, the 18th of September. A dispatch to the New York Post says: The Agricultural, Electricity. Fine Arts, Fire and jPolice, Negro, Woman's, Transportation. Minerals and Forestry, and United States (Government Buildings ?re complete; the (Manufactures anl Liberal Arts Building i9 tnearly done; the Machinery Building would have been entirely finished but for a delay caused by the discovery of a quicksand tinder the site of the reservoir which is to contain the water to bo used for running the machinery; the Administration Building, which serves the purpose also of a grand entrance, has its frame pretty well up: and the Auditorium Building is under roof and having its sides closed in. As the buildings still incomplete?except the Machinery Building?are not essential to the opening, and as thenecessarv work ontht reservoir In the Machinery Building is well under way, the status of the fair as a whole is highly satisfactory. Besides the main exhibition buildings already named there are several others which are tributary to the general effect, but not necessary parts of the system, and whose tardy preparation does no serious harm. These include the buildings of several of the States whi^h are to make separate exhibits, and those of the South American Ui: Una t,n. iu[juuui'3. x uo oioio \jl iatio hw building finished, except for a few touches of adornment on the inside. Alabama la making progress with hers. California has her lumber drawn to the ground. New York, Illinois. Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have their sites assigned them. Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, and North and South Carolina have given up all idea of separate buildings, and will divide their exhibits among the several departments of the lair. In compensation for the absence of , ?ome small buildings which have been abandoned, preparations are making for Borne which were not at first expected. Notable among these is a very dainty octagonal building with a spherical dome, now well advanced towards completion, which is to contain the exhibit of the Southern Railway Company, including a collection of . Elaborate pen-and-ink drawings illustrative of the world's progress in permanent railway Architecture. Ot prime importance, from the point of view of the exhibitor, is the good fortune of the Exposition management in securing the Services of Dr. D. C. Oilman, President of Johns Hopkins University, to act as Chief of the Department of Awards. In this case, as in many others, the management has followed the wise couise of choosing a chief whose name will be a guarantee to the Whole country of the character of his work, and then investing him with absolute authority to do what he pleases. Certain things should be remembered by everybody who is turning over in his mind the question of visiting Atlanta during the coming fair. Often there will be a dlsr\r\oifir?r? frv mob-o Hlanorarrin(f PrtmnnHoAnC {~=""uu ?n 1 between tbe Cotton States Exposition and that held at Chicago two years ago. Six months of steady work failed to exhaust the treasures at the World's Fair: six days or even six weeks, left only the impression of a thirst unslacked. The Atlanta Exposition is a ten-day show. It will be complete in all its details, but the details Will be within the grasp of any one who has the common American holiday at his disposal. And as for scenic effect, if it lacks the arrandeur of the Columbian pageant, it at least makes no ignoble attempt at an imitation. It has an individuality and a character of its own. 1 THE ELEVENTH CENSUS. Commissioner Wright Thinks It Can Be ! Completed by the End of the Year. United States Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright, who succeeded the Hon. Bobert ?. Porter as Superintendent of the Eleventh Census, submitted to the Secretary pf the Interior the report of the operations of the census for the fiscal year 1894-5. It Bhows that the total expense of the census up to date has been $10,531,142.

All the work can be finished with the appropriation now available, except the final printing and binding. The uncompleted work comprises the population schedule, vital statistics, a part of the compendium and the second addition to the abstract and the statistical atlas. Mr. Wright is of the opinion that the work can be completed and placed before the public by the end of this calendar year. A portion of the work was turned over to the Pension Office, which will beof valueto soldiers in their claims for pensions. Several volumes containing the names of veterans of the late war, their services, and present addresses, will be on file at the Pension Bureau, where old soldiers can obtain Information that may aid them in proving their claims. The Seal# Practically Gone. Reports received at the State Department, "Washington, from the United States Consul, <vt Victoria, British Columbia, nre to the ef. 4 ifect that the seals in Bering Sea are practi Jcaily exterminated.

The university charges a tuition fee of $30 a quarter for a regular course of three majors. For each additional major subject an additional fee of ;on- $10 is assessed. No student is allowed to register for more than four and usually not more than three. has It has been discovered, however, that many in- ambitious students have been acquiring u. h knowledge on an extravagant range of sub? jects by registering In only one or two wret courses and taking in a great many more as visitors. The result was that professors, ) six who had few regularly registered students, one have been surprised by the spasmodic popu? the larlty of their courses. In several classes ater President Harper says the registration has ater been small but the attendance has been imall mense.
