There is more Catarrh in this sec
tlon of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced It incurable. Scietic
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional, treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by P. .1
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is tht
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally iu doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. Ii
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer

fails to cure. Send for circulars ami

TIIE next great world's fair, the
Alaska- Yukon -l'ucillc exposl
Jfcl tion, will be held nt Seattle,
Wash., opening June 1 ami i
closing Oct. 1.1, 11)09.
This exposition will lie held In a sec
tion of the country where world's fairs
are new. and for that and many other
reasons It Is expected that it will be
a success educationally, artistically i
and linnncially. The Alaska-Yukon
I'aclflc exposition will lie the second
world's fair ever held west of the ]
Uocky mountains, the Lewis and Clark
"xpositioii at ivrtland. Or*., being the
tirst. it will he different from former
world's fairs in many ways, but one
policy stands out so far above any <>f
i the rest that the entire press of the
country Is commenting favorably
?bout if. No tnoney will beasked-frotn
rn<-le Sant to carry on the work! That
j policy must be conceded as original.
All the management desires Is for
the 1'nlted Stales government to par
ticipate In the same manner as for
eign countries and the different states
by erecting buildings and installing
therein exhibits. Former exposition^
have been aided by the government in
many different ways. Outright gifts
of large sums of money have been
made by congress to some world's
fairs, while others have negotiated
loans from Uncle Sam. some of which
were paid back and some of which
were not. Some expositions have re
ceived both donations and loans. As
stated before, the Alaska-Yukon-l'acltlc
| exposition will ask for neither. A
clause pledging this policy was insert
ed in the congressional I. ill making pro
vision for participation only by Uncle
Sam.
Since the United States government
began to patronize cxp- mi ions down to
the Jamestown fair congress has ap
propriated a total of S2S.T52.25l for
world's fairs. Only $-!S.1.000 of this
money has been spent west of the
Kockv mountains, the Lewis and Clark

exposition. one of the mo^r successful 1
over held. reet iving the benefit of that ?
| amount.
I The A.-Y.-P., as It is sometimes
called In Seattle, will differ also from |
some former fairs in Mint some of its j
exhibit palaces will be permanent !
structures. The grounds are located
on the property of the Washington ;
university, a state institution, and after !
the exposition is over the permanent '
buildings and those substantially built j
will be taken over by the college to be j
! used for educational purposes.
The exposition site is the most beau
i tlfui ever used for such a purpose, it
i Is 250 acres In extent and borders for
more than a mile and a half on Lake
Union and Lake Washington, the latter
l being the largest body of fresh water
in the Pacific northwest. Within the
' city limits, it i- convenient to all parts j
of Seattle and is only twenty minutes !
ride by electric r:ir from the business
) center. The Olympic and Cascade
j mountains may be seen from the
I grounds, and an unobstructed view :
j may be obtained of the perpetual ;
snow peaks of Mounts Rainier and |
Raker. Tall, stately giants of the for- :
est form beautiful vistas, and gentle
j slopes, commanding terraces and un- I
surpassed stretches of water front add
to the beauty of the exposition's set- |
i ting. In the erection of the buildings
every precaution will be taken to pre
serve nature's own handiwork.
Twelve large exhibit palaces will
form the main part of the exposition.
Around these will cluster the state,
| foreign and concessions buildings and
smaller exhibit structures. The main
I exhibit buildings will be: United
j States government. Alaska, Yukou, j
Manufactures. Agriculture and Ilortl- j
culture. Machinery. Forestry, Fine :
Arts, Fisheries, Mines, HawaiL and !
Philippines.
To start the exposition off right tbe
people of Seattle got together in Octo 1
her. 1900. and raised $050,000 in one j
d-iy by the purchase of stock in the j
exposition corporation, something that
was never done before by any city at !
any time for any purpose. The capi
tal stock was placed at $500, 000, but
when the business day was over it
was discovered that the stock had been
oversubscribed to the tune of $150,000.
The capital stock was tiieu increased
to $$00,000, all of which will be sold
in Seattle before the exposition opens.
Not to be outdone, t he state of Wash
ington at the legislative meeting of
HiOO-7 appropriated $1,000,000 for its
representation at the exposition. Tbe
Evergreen State will erect several
[ buildings to hold the large displays it
will make. Although a young state,
Washington's appropriation as an ex
position state Is as much as that made j
by Missouri, which held the record be- j
fore with the $1,000,000 it uppropri- |
ated for the St. Louis world's fair.
The primary object of the exposition J
is to exploit the resources and poten
tialities of Alaska And Yukon and to
make known and foster the vast Int- ;

port mice of the trade of the 1'aclilc
ocean and of the countries bordering
upon It. Ill addition it will demon- j
si rale i lie marvelous progress of west
ern America.
The prevailing conception of Alaska
is that it is nothing hut a land of ice,
snow and gold. The same is true of
Yukon. Few person--, realize the great
possibilities and advantages of these
countries. Besides the fur, fl>!i and
gold resources there are others that
arc only beginning to lie developed
and whii h offer unusual inducement*
to capital and labor. It will be the j
aim of (lie exposition through exhibits
to bring the iiorthland into tlir lime
light and give (lie world a correct Idea
of its vast riches.
ROOSEVELT, PRIVATE CITIZEN
His Experiences as Strap Hanger and
Magazine Editor.
When Theodore Koosevelt started for
work as a plain citizen and a magazine
editor one day shortly after his arrival
at Oyster Bay he Jumped on to a sur
face car on leaving th?> ferry at Thirty
fourth street. New York, and, lindiug
It crowded, hung to a strap like the
humblest of patrons of the tractiou
line. Nobody offered him a seat, and
had any one done so it would probably
have been declined, for in crossing the
ferry from I.ong Island City he stood
up iu the crowd, only accepting a seat
for his companion, XI is* Cornelia Lang
don, a friend of his daughter Kthel. At
the residence of his brother-in-law, !
Douglas Koblnson. he met the Kev. Dr.
Lyman Abbott, editor in chief of the !
Outlook, with which the ex-president
now has an editorial connection. Colo
nel Koosevelt weut with Dr. Abbott to
the Outlook olllces on Fourth avenue
and was introduced to some members
of the staff he had not met before. He
held a conference iu a private oilicc
whose door bears a sign reading: "The
Outlook Publishing Company. Offices
of Theodore Koosevelt." After dictat
ing letters Mr. Koosevelt at 1 o'clock
