I thank you for this information. It is of course, grat, ' ifying to the people of Mississippi to , know that they have done one thing that the present president of the Unif?. ted States approves. Doubtless the president's admiration of the Missis- j sippi building is due to his admira- j tion ef Jefferson Davis, of whose last Mfryy.. home it is a replica. I want to conppf'.' gratulate you on the mansgement of KgK the greatest exposition the world has ; . ever known. "JAMES K. VARDAMAN." Both the daily papers of Jackson, which are democratic, condemn the J I telegram of Governor Vardaman. The News says: "The people of Mississippi expect more of their governor than a display of small petty hatred. They expect him to be a broad-minded man, who in every relation of life will meet courtesy by courtsey." The Clarion Ledger says: "Governor Vardaman has made the mistake of mixing politics, sectional feeling and personal dislikes with state, national and business affairs, when he Wftkes a sarcastic reply that will be quoted from Maine to California, from New Orleans to Kalamazoo, to the in-: jury and discredit of the great state ! .of Mississippi." A large number of telegrams from j -pnoxninent citizens of Jackson have i 1 been sent to Preside. + Francis, of the ! -world's fair, cypres ing their hearty : -disapproval of the language and the i spirit of the Vardaman telegram, and ; j - thanking President Roosevelt for hist kind expressions. i j SPEER ATTACKS GEORGIA LAW, ] : Says Judjes Should be Allowed to Ex- . press Opinions From the Bench. ^ Judge Emery Speer, of the United 7 r - j-.Vior-<rinp- grand i ??.. ,a^?

WOMAN SUED FOR LARGE SUM. ?? : Quarter of a Million Loan is Demanded of Mrs. Cassie Chad wick. A sensation has been caused in New : York by the bringing of suit by Herj bert D. Newton, of Brookline, Mass., ! against Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, of ! Cleveland, Ohio, for $100,000, for money loaned. Mrs. Chadwick is the wife of a Cleveland physician. In addition to Mr. Newton's suit, several banks* have taken legal action to recover various amounts, which bring the toial,, sum to $267,000. Mr. Newton alleges that Mrs. Chadwick told him she had $5,000,000 in bonds and securities held in trust by Ire Reynolds, secretary j and treasurer of the Wade Park Bank- ' ing Company, of Cleveland, and that j she had a note for $500,000 which she j could negotiate at any time for the j purpose of paying Newtcn. He loaned her $190,000. P. W. Carver, of Boston, attorney J jf ?r_ \r i : _ : ior .air. ixewion, iu a suiLemeiii. iur j his client, said that when the amount i j became payable it was not met and then he (Mr. Carver) had a conference j with Mrs, Chadwick and her counsel. j "The statement was made to me," i said Mr. Carver, "that the securities ! held as a trust fund, would soon be j released and that in a short time the various obligations would be paid, j Later I went to Cleveland, where I j had a conference with Mr. Reynolds, , but he refused to disclose ar.y infor- , mation as to the securities in his care." Besides Mr. Newton, the plaintiffs I in the suits against Mrs. Chadwick j are the Euclid Avenue Savings and j Trust Company, of Cleveland, for I ?38,231, the Savings Deposit Bank and Trust Company, of Elyria, Ohio, for $10,000, and the American Exchange National bank for $28,803. 1 A# i Tie Uiuzens nsuuu<u \ Uftn n vi j Oberlin, Ohio, was closed Monday morning.

Few occupations are more hazardous j than working in airlocks perhaps a J hundred feet beneath the surface of ! the river or the level of Manhattan i Island. The dreaded "bends" and the I still more fatal paralysis seem to seize the workmen sooner or later, despite the best that modern hygiene and medical skill can do for them. It has been found that the best thing to do for a workman who collapses from the intense pressure of the com' .. . i Steam Engines. ?? - ii ; used in the great wheat fields of the ese engines, in the spring, are used "pressed nir in-the edisson-when* he is brought to the surface and the reaction takes plates to place him in another airlock 'Wftii the pressure almost as gr ?at as.it was in the chamber far be-' ncatb surface, and very gradually poduce the pressure. The njodus operandi will be about as ^follows: The candidates, preferably v?*terafcs of-other jobs of this character, will be critically examined by surgeons and their histories taken. If acceptable they will be placed in an air chamber diily and the pressure increased to., thirty and then to forty pounds to the square inch. They will be kept there for half an hour and then the pressure will be reduced very slowly. Tlie next day the process will be renewed with a longer period in the chamber and thp pressure increased' f-onsid^rablv and the time of "decom pression," as it is called, extended. This will be kept up until the men show that?they can probably withstand the pressure necessary to enable them to work at a depth of more than a hundred feet. When the work is really under way these men will descend in a tube by means of a ladder to an air chamber at the base of the caisson. Entering this, they will proceed to work the boring shield and to brace the opening made by the boring machinery that loosens the mud and sand by jets of water impelled by enormous pressure. The debris is whizzed np a standpipe to the surface by the same power of compressed air. The meu lay concrete as rapidly as the level desired is reached and the weight of the concrete sinks the eaisson into the mud as .the mud and sand from within the air chamber at the base is of the caissoa are removed. The further down the caisson sinks the more air pressure is needed to keep out the weight of water around the great hollow box. His tor I aii Fooled Kaiser. Woif Von Schierbraud was formerly a correspondent of the Associated Pre3S at Beriin. He had intimate access to high official orders. Once he published some information about a certain plan of the Kaiser, and the Emperor ordered his arrest. Von Schierbrand's house was surrounded by the police. They had seen him enter. Mr^Yon Schierbrand put a dummy with a moustache at his study window. The police, who believed him there, watched the front of the house, while he escaped through a rear door. Mr. Van Schierbrand pre- : sents in his book on Germany, a graphic picture of "The Welding of a ; World, Empire," a character study of a.great modern nation. , ;Mr. "Von Schierbrand had a distinguished career as a journalist in Berlin, He was the last man to write an interview with Prince Bismark, at Fri^drichgruh six weeks before the Iron Chancellor's death. h? also ?'m????__?____?m \ ENDOWS OF THE SAFETY TANK. wrote the dramatic interview with Bismark's successor.

The Kalamazoo Council has nndpf consideration the dredging of Kalama-zoo River from the city of Cooper, a distance of several miles, for the deepening of the bed in some places and the removal of sandbars in others. The estimated cost of a thorough job is ?30.000. and for half the money, it is believed, the situation can be materially improved and the damage by | nooas greany lessened. If the dredging is^undertaken, particular attention should be paid to that portion of the river -within th?" corporation which 'has nerer recovered, even with time's help, from the choking the channei received during the hoopskirt era of forty years ago. when every cast-off crinoline found its way to as near the middle of the stream as a wounded an^d outraged male member of the household could throw it.

IA New Type of Microscope. A new type of high-power microscope invented by Mr. J. W. Gordon was recently exhibited in London. Says The Scientific American Supplement: "It is well-known fact that when high magnification is-attempted by a series of lenses arranged In conventional manner, the emergent beam of light which enters the eye of the observer is so small that vision is de- 1 ficient, owing to the fact that the pupit. of the eye is. not entirely filled with light. It is consequently apparent that in order to obtain satisfactory results in excessive magnification the emergent ray should be expanded: In such a way as to fill the pupil of the eye. This result is' achieved in this microscope of Mr. J. W. Gordon. It comprises an ordinary microscope with an eccentrically rotating glass screen with a finely grained surface placed in xt- ?* fl-,J mv.fr. thrnnrrh me view-fieiu. iuu & ucn^u a second microscope which has an object-glass of half an inch, by means of which a further magnification of 100 diameters is rendered possible. Ihe transmitted emergent beam is expanded by the ground-glass screen so that it fills the second microscope, and there are no imperfections whatever in the magnifications. The inventor demonstrated this by magnifying a diatom to 10,000 diameters, and its structure was perfectly clear and defined right to the edges. A comprehensive idea of the extent of this excessive magnification may be gathered from the fact that if the eye of an ordinary house-fly were magnified on the same scale it would cover "an area of 312 feet The idea of the groundgrained screen being made to revolve is to prevent the grain thereon becoming visible and thereby interfering with the magnifying of the subject under observation, while as it is not in contact with either of the microscopes there is a complete absence of vibration." The Cape to Cairo Railroad. The Cape to Cairo railroad, the inception of the late Cecil Rhodes, has reached the southern bank of the Zambesi River at the Victoria Falls. The first section of the project is now realized, over 1600 miles of track having been laid down, stretching from Cape Town xo mis yumi. iuc instruction. of the single-spaa bridge, which is to carry the track across the Zambesi gorge at a height of 420 feet, is now being proceeded with, and the second section of the railroad will then be commenced. This section will run from the north bank of the Broken Hill, in the direction of Lake Tanganyika, a distance of 350 miles. Beyond that point no definite course has been decided, though there are several projected routes under consideration. According to Cecil Rhodes, this transcontinental railroad was to be 5700 miles in length. While the track has been steadily constructed northward from Cape Town, the Egyptian end has been simultaneously proceeded with, and it is now 1400 miles south of Khartoum. About another 2000 miles of track has therefore yet to be laid before through railroad communication is established between Cape Town and Cairo. He Didn't Want Much. "I've seen a good many different sorts of tramps," recently {remarked a woman who lives in the suburbs, "but the prize article stopped at my house the other day. I happened to be in the kitchen when he knocked at the door. " 'Lady,' he said to the cook, 'would you be so kind as to give a poor man a drink of water?'
