FAIR LESSONS FROM FRANCE. Bow Katto I Expositions Beffa What Thejr Mava Prodaoad. Special Correspondence. Paris. May 80.

If the American peopl would pause Ion? enough In their galloplnj pace to consider the vast Interests that axe to be stimulated by the Chicago exposition. there would be less adverse criticism of it methods and a pro founder sense of the great importance of the undertaking. TJ til 1851, when the Crystal palace was erect ed in Hyde park, London, few among even The most progressive or Anglian proaucen appreciated the enormous benefits that were destined to result from am aggregation of the world's products. They con ceived themselves too wealtby and too su perior to be in need of any such encouragement to the prevailing industries. Yet th advantages of these national exhibitions have since been fully realized, and the in dustrial display has become periodical.

Germany, Austria and Spain, Piedmont and Portugal, France, Russia, Italy, Hol land and Denmark each in turn among the nations of Europe has been "Ty by tbic spirit of rivalry. It is not generally known, however, that the world is indebted to France as the orig inal promoter of national industrial exhibi tions. Hence it will be interesting to sketch with a running pen the outline of their his tory. For two years prior to 1797 the manufac ture of gobelin tapestry, sevres china and the savonnerie carpets was in a state of great depression. The workshops were deserted, the artisans in a starving condition, though the warehouses were full of the re sults of their labors, and no commercial en terprise came to relieve the general embar rassment.

In this emergency the minister of the interior conceived the idea or collecting in one large exhibition these and other objects of national industry and possibly give a stimulus to trade. The chateau of St. Cloud was appropri ated to the purpose. The walls of every department were hung with the finest tapestry, the floors were covered with superb carpets that rivaled those of Turkey, the saloons were enriched by exquisite pic tures, and the chamber of Mars was con verted into a receptacle for the most beau tiful porcelains. Foreigners flocked to Paris before the day fixed for public admis sion, and many purchases were made, but on the very morning when the doors were to have been opened the walls of the city were placarded witn a decree of the direc tory for the expulsion of the nobility.

The chateau was given into the custody of company of dragoons, and so for the time being ended the scheme that had progressed so well. Early in the following year, however (1798), the proscription having been moved, another exposition was arranged. this time the collection consisting of rich furniture and marqueterie, clocks and watches, richly bound books, silks from Lyons, flowers and historical pictures, showing that in banishing the aristocracy from Pans the government bad banished the chief patrons of French manufacture. Nevertheless the exhibition was attractive. On the return of Napoleon from his Ital ian campaign he caused to be erected temple of industry," around which were arraigned CO porticoes filled with objects of use or of beauty, it excited the greatest enthusiasm throughout the country.

Foi the first time the merits of the exhibitors were intrusted to the decision of a jury dis tinguished in science and art. The name of some of the manufacturers on tbat occa sion are now of European reputation. So complete was the success that it wat determined to have annual expositions, and it is said of Napoleon tbat be was prouder of his title as member of the institute' than of that of the first consul. He visited the great workshops of Paris, Ronen, Lyons, Milan, Brussels, Liege and Aix i Chapelle, stimulating all to progress and distributing rewards. The second official exposition took place in the quadrangle or tne under ele gant porticoes erected for the occasion.

Two hundred and twenty competitors were pres ent, and 60 gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded. The third exposition took place in 1802. the number of competitors being again doubled. The fourth exposition In 1806 showed the marvelous improvement that bad been made in textile fabrics, silks, laces, shawls, etc The manufacture of iron by the aid of coke instead of charcoal and of steel by an improved process, thus giving tools to the workman and arms to the sol dier, and the transferring of ornaments from copper plates to the surface of porce lain were also among the Ingenious devel opments of this period. An interval of 13 years occurred between the fourth and fifth expositions, during which it was seen that much improvement had beeu made in iron work and the ornamental designs of metals.

At the sixth expo sition in 1823 a model of the first French sus pension bridge was shown, and in the new methods of construction a fresh impulse was given to civil engineering as a profession. Four years afterward the seventh exposi tion demonstrated the influence thut steam as a motive power was beginning to exert on manufactures. Lower prices prevailed for many productions, and home consumption was increased, together with a very considerable export trade. Cotton printing was now adapted to cheap goods, silk manufacture was improved, machinery was applied to the making of paper in great engtbs, so hat the wall papers of England were rivaled in poiut of superior taste and economy. The staining and painting of glass was revived by modern chemistry.

ineeigutb exhibition, which toot place in 1834, and those that followed continued to illustrate the steady progress in almost every department of manufacture. Again the influence of these great exposi tions and it is a point that no American uhould lose sight of at the present time was manifest in the increase of large engi neering firms and the enlargement of mo tive power, in the progress of popular edu cation by means of municipal libraries, the establishment of museums, schools and free exhibitions of works of art, together with system of rewards for services done in the community In 1844 France exhibited such display in all the handicrafts which nst from the industrial to the plane of the fine arts, illustrated in silver and bronze works. ewelry, ornamental modeling and designs in every fabric, as no other country could possibly have brought together at that time. It Is unnecessary to dwell upon the great Prris expositions of 1867, 1878 and 1889. Tik expense of the latter was about $8,000, 000, but the Frenchmen by a peculiar system of finance made it pay.

Some of the tickets were sold as low as 5 cents, and he average price of the tickets during the entire exhibition season did not much exceed 13 cents. Over 28,000,000 of the 80,000,000 issued were taken at the gates. According to the official balance sheet, the entire re ceipts were and the expenditures $8,300,000. Will the authorities at Chicago proportionately make so excellent a presentation when the figures are all in? M. RE NOBLE.

THE READING DAILY TIMES ANT DISPATCH TIE A PRIWA. UPROAR AT THE INQUEST. Continued from first pas.) she recollected distinctly that I said two years ago that 1 was going into a death trap." The witness said that be bad been civil engineer. Every day be went be low stairs and watched the progress of the excavation. He saw no pillars or props nsed in nomine up tne nrst Hoc while the excavation was eoinir on.

It was a matter of common talk that this work was dangerous, and a fellow clerk bad warned turn not to go there, lie bad heard that Mr. Gave, one of the victims. bad applied for leave of absence during the progress of the work in the base ment, but that it had been refused. Mr. Gage, be understood, was apprehensive oi danger.

Concerning the one stairway in tb theatre bnilding, Mr. Thompson said was not sufficient for the rpid exit of one half the clerks with safety. In going down the stairway be had heard clerks call out to "take care; the stairs are unsafe." AFRAID OP A INS WORTH. Just at this stage in Mr. Thompson') testimony there was a strange scene, illustrating a bitter feeling against Col A ins worth.

A majority of the spectators present at tne inquest were clerks who wereem ployed in theoid theatre building. Mr. Warner, one oi the jurors, aske what was the feeling of the clerks in the theatre building towards their superior omcet toionei Ainswortb. "That of abject fear," answered Mr. Thompson impressively.

A slight buzz and shifting of chairs fol lowed, then a slight clapping ol bands A lieutenant ol r'once pieseut held bis hand to stop the attempt at applause. out he was too late. A burst ol hand clapping followed tbat lasted a quarte of a minute. It came from the portion of the room where most of the clerks were sitting. Dr.

Scbaetfer looked astonished. Col Ainswortb grew red. Dr. Bchaener then arose and delivered a lecture to the of enders, after which the hearing pro ceatd. Mr.

Warner said he had asked the questiou because there seemed to be a belief tbat the reeling existing between Col. Ainsworth and every clerk iu the office was such that bad they uiude a suggestion as to the catety of the buiid ing it would have jeopardized their post Lions. Air. Warner akeu it there was uch a feeling ol fear tbat the clerks were alraid to make suggestions as to the dangerous condition ot the building. It wus.

Mr. Warner, emphatically was," was tbe answer. Mr. Thompson was questioned fur the about the feeling, and he said it ex tended to Jacob Co'. Ainsworth right bower and the chronic peSHimint of and to Mr.

U. ii. Jirovvu chief clerk of 1 he building. Jeliersou W. carter, a clerk on tin second floor, took tbe staud, but be I ore he began hia testimony Dr.

Sbaetfer read a letter from Attorney tieneral Ulney temleriug the use oi an assistant to give professional advice in conducting the in ry. Ibis oiler was declined because the District Attorney had already made tue same offer. Auother letter to the coroner created a breeze. It was from Col. Laiuont, the secretary ot War, and read as follows: In the matter ot the investigation now in progress before tbe coroner's jury regard to tbe loss ot lite on une inb.

lHitf, at the Tenth street building which was occupied oy tbe Kecord and otlice of tbe War Department, the Depart ment is informed that apprehension exists among the Department employees that they may jeodardize their positions by testifying before tbe jury, it seems haidly necebsary for me to say that smb apprehension is entirely groundless, but to ullay any such fear, ns may exist beg to inform you that no employee of the Department will endanger his posi tiou in any way on account ol any such estimony given before tbe corouer's jury in this case." Air. Carter was asked by Mr. inter nbout tbe feeling between Col. Ains worth aud his clerks, but Dr. 8c hue lie i interrupted, sayius; that the investigation must be confined to the cause of the calamity.

Air. Warner replied with 4oine feeling that a great many ex traneous subjects bad been introduced. and some had shown a bitter feeling against Col. Ainswortb. He thought he bad a right to ask this question in order to satisfy his miud whether there was or was not any prejudice on the part ot witnesses that would cause them to dc injustice to oflieers of the Government.

This flurry passed over, and Mr. carter said in answer to a question tbat there had beeu a com mon rumor among tbe clerks tbat the uuildiujc was insecure, lie had heard casual comments about tbe insecurity of the build i tig while the excavatiou was being made, and ouly the other day June or 4, he supposed m. fecbreiber. who was killed in tbe disaster, said to him. pointing to the excavation, "Carter.

I see they're digging your grave." Hotu Scbreiber and Mu Hotly, who were killed. bad frequently spoken to him about tbe dangerous condition of the building. At 1 lo p. in. a recess was taken unti 2 o'clock.

The hixt witness at tbe afternoon session was David II. P. Brown, a third floor clerk, who said that since January (i, 1H3, be had heard the building was un safe. He had been instructed to go care fully up aud dowu the stairway in tbe theatre building nearly every afternoon by a messenger called Sergeant." Mr. ISrown was asked if there was any fear on the part of the clerks that they would be disturbed it they protes'ed against remaining in the building.

1 es. sir;" ne answered, and then quietly added, "I decline to answer that question." Uo what grounus ao you decline to answer?" asked Dr. Schaefter. 'On the ground of my position." 'Did yon hear tbe letter of the Secre tary of War read, promising protection to clerks who seined "Yes. sir;" was tbe answer: "I do not fear Col.

Ainswortb, for he has done me wo favors, but I do fear Air. Freeh," whom Air. Thompson called Col. Aims worth's right Mr. lirown finally decided to rnswer tbe original question.

He said there was much fteling about the insecurity of the building, aud a great many cleiks, mselt among them, who would have protested if thev bad had courage to do so against being kept in tbe old theatre. hat had tbe clerks to apprehend was asked. said Mr. Brown. James A.

Lone, another clerk, said be bad felt insecure during the work of ex cavation, and had spoken to several lerks about it, who bad asnred htm hat there was no It was ex plained to him tbat tbe reason this space on tbe first floor was roped oft' was because tbe floor boards hud no supports beneath them. Hut Mr. Long con Id not own his fear, and be Secured leave of absence while the excavation was going on and applied for insurance on hia lite. Kxamined by a juror, Mr. Jong is belief in the insecurity of tbe build up had first caused him to think of in uring his life.

He bad been warned against running up tbe stairs. AN EXCITING SCKNK. Albert IT. Crosby, a third floor clerk. was not allowed to finish his testimony.

While he was being examsned a man walked slowly to a place behind Col. insworth's chair and said something in such a loud voice that it brought a warning rih sh from some of those present. But the man was not hushed. He stooped forward and standing behind i and directly over Col. Ainsworth.

cried in voice trembling with passion, "You I murdered my brother, and I'd like to 1 D. P. S.

It is a significant fact, that the degree of concentration attained by this extract is unapproached by any of its imitators. Whereas, the twenty five cent bottle of Knapp's Rootbeer Extract will produce six to ten gallons of peerless Rootbeer, a larger bottle of any other extract produces less Rootbeer and of an inferior quality. NONE SO GOOD. NONE GOES SO FAR.

All Grocers and Druggists, 25 cents One bottle makes 6 gallons. know what right you have to sit here and iuttmidate There was a moment's silence after this passionate outburst, and then a wild shout of approval. Col. Ainsworth at calmly iu his chair, without even turn ing his head to see who denounced mm. Lieutenant Amiss, of the police force, walkea over to the disturber and pushed him towards a doorway.

"Who is he?" asked some one. 'His name is Charles Bunes, whose hrother was killed," was the answer rom a dozen clerks. Banea is a real es tate agent. Hie shouts of the Government clerks present continued. 1 hut's "i'uthim ont!" were the endorsements of tbe accusation of Banes.

Home men were on their leet, and it looked for a minute that Col. Aiusworth was in danger. But sharp words from the police lieutenant dually brought quiet. AINSWORTH ASKED TO RKTIRK. lie tore tbe witness was allowed to pro ceed Mr.

H. 11. Warner, one of the jnrois aud a wealthy citizen of Washington, suggested to the coroner that the episode that had just occurred showed the exist ence of a feeling tbat could best be silenced by the withdrawal of the party or parties against bom it was directed. 'L meutiou no names, said air. Wer ner, but simply make this suggestion, that the party most coucemed should withdraw as a party.

There is a belief among many of those here that bis pres ence serves as an intimidation to wit nesses. There is a feeling here which does not break out, but which is nevertheless present, that iatimidatiou is being carried on, and I therefore object to the presence of any person who is likely to be blamed tor participation in this affair." Loud applause followed Mr. Warner's remarks, and Ir. Schaeffer asked Col. Ainsworth to withdraw.

lie refused to do so, however, and the coroner, turning to the iury, said he had no right to ex elude from tbe hearing any person who was likely to be a party to tbe verdict. AXOTflKB KXCITIXQ OLTBEEA Juror Harvey said he had beeu told by half a dozen clerks that they had been alraid to testify and would have refused do so but tor the letter ot the Secretary of War. Mr. It. Koss Ferry, as the rep resentative of Col.

Aiusworth, arose to make some renaarks on the subject, and his tirst word was a signal for the most exciting incident of tbe day. Butler itch, an old whitu haired clerk ot the Kecord aud Pension division, started the trouble. Kit down!" he shouted. "You are an outsider and have no right here! protest against an outsider speak lug ere! Kitdowu sit down!" echoed bis fel ow clerks in voices tbat were not re trained. Fitch cried out something abou iu rder, and is word were uboed from every part of the hall Kecord and Pension Division clerks were on their feet trying to make speeches, as bough a public meeting was being held.

All this time Mr. Perry stood immov able, and when the uproar had quieted somewhat he appealed to the crowd to let him speak. "I appeal to you as a citizen for fair play!" he cried. ou did not tive us lair playl" yelled an excited individual. jia fiuuer rucu Kepi uryiog, mi inundation!" Morgan Spencer, of Bridge port, another Croveinment clerk, ailed out at joi.

"iou should be arrested for murder aud not released on bond!" A CRITICAL JUNCTt'RB. Here the tempest broke iu its full fury. 'Hang him!" was shouted from a dozen throats. Kvery man in the spec tators' seats rose at the cry. "Hang Hang him! Hang him!" the shout grew louder.

Jol. Ainswortn sat cool aud collected. Somebody said, after the proar was over, tbat hi. hand moved to inside coat pocket and remained ere. His features seemed absolutely iu movable.

There was tbe faintest suKestiou of a mle on his lips. Mr. erry remained standing, nut made no ttempt to quell the mob, for it had grown to be sucn. lieutenant Amiss was utterly powerless to still the tumult. A mad rush had just beguu in the direction ot Col.

Aiusworth, when Mr. Warner arose, and standing on his hair begged for order. Tbe sight of him standing there stopped the rush. OIL ON TICK WATERS. Dr.

Shaeller directed Mr. Warner to take his seat, but the latter refused, and raising his voice managed to make hi in D. P. S. Tuesday, June 13.

I appeal to you iu the name of the Master who reiuns above." The crowd tell into Mr. Warner's way of thinking, and cried, yes!" He saw bis advantage and made an appeal to let the lies (ion of allowing Col. Aius worth to re mum to be settled by coo heads.

Wneu he took his seat, however, there were more threatening mutterins, and at 11.20 lr. Schaefter quickly ad journed the i mi nest until 11 o'clock to morrow at the First precinct police sta tion. The department clerks stood abou the hull talking excitedly over the incident, Col. Aiusworth sat in his chair lor minnte, and theu walked qnietly out of the bn.lding through a side door con nested with Willard's hotel. When the hall was emptied the excited language of tbe clerks continued on tbe sidewalk, and finally Old Butler Fitch mounted the entrance of the building and proposed an indiguation meeting immediately.

The proposition was adopted, and the clerks took possession ot the ball. Smith Thompson, 72 years, who made many bitter remarks against Col Ainsworth and Jacob Freeh iu his testi uiony this morning was elected cbai man of the meeting, aud bitterdeuan ciations of Col. Ainsworth and of those who justified his course were indulged in A committee consisting of Smith Thompson, W. N. Say re, B.

Fitch, Percy nlonroe and M. Al. Jar vis, was appointed to wait upon tbe President and protest against the proposed secret session, and to urge tbe suspensiou ol Col.
