was recognized by all newspaper men that he was the prince of and his work was more widely quoted than that of any other American jour The skill with which he turned an epigram amounted to genius and the fount from which he drew these sparkling quips of wit seemed to be perennial He was the ideal paragrapher for while he was pungent at times he was never bitter He made gen tle fun of persons who were rather flattered the mention of them selves than they were disposed to be indignant Washington is of course the choicest of places for such a writer All the famous pol and public men from all over the country are local person ages at the national capital Mr Merrick delighted Jn having fnn with these magnates frora all over the United States and his genial wit has contributed more to the pleasure of the country than that of any other journalist Nearly every newspaper has some editorial writer who flatters him self that he can write telling para graphs but by common consent the palm for this special sort of writing has been given to the Washington Post man His paragraphs con in nearly every case some delicate subtle gentle satirical al lusion to current events were flat tering to the reader for they pre in him a wide knowledge of affairs and keen sensi to the lightest touch of hu mor Washington is the only cen ter in this country where such a could flourish to advantage and

sixteen women were employed in the factory which was destroyed Most of them were brought from Pittsburg They are regarded as experts in the manufacture of powder The Women Managed to Escape From the building before the ex plosion came that hurled their fel into eternity All were cut and badly burned The force of the explosion was so great that it wrecked all buildings in the vicinity and broke window panes in towns five miles away A res cuing party has gone from way for many doctors bills and surely made it most uncomfortable for such a host of humanity as never before had gathered in the Mound City But though Mr Weather Manip sent the dust into the eyes of the troops and nearly blinded I the President at times though it j was necessary to throw blankets about tne shoulders of ladies in summer dresses on the reviewing stand and though the very wind was resonant with complaints of discomfort there was not a hitch in the program of dedicating the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition Made Speakers Hoarse Both President Roosevelt and former President Cleveland re mained in the reviewing stand ex posed to the icy wind until end of the parade although their faces were blue and their limbs were stiffened by the cold Conditions in the Liberal Arts Building where the dedication ceremonies were held were little better There was no wind but there were manifold drafts The effect of the cold was evi dent in all the speeches as the speakers commencing their speech es in clear tones were without ex ception given over to catarrhal in flections as they finished The parade in the morning was somewhat longer inpassing before the President had been ex but that he was only 15 minutes behind the scheduled time when he was escorted by the committee into the Liberal Arts building In order to arrive even as early as that he was compelled to take his noonday meal under somewhat uncomfortable circumstances Dur ing the luncheon which he ate at the conclusion of the parade he was shoved helterskelter by half the people who had been in the grand stand The food was placed on a rectangular counter and the President like everybody else helped himself The crowd in side the tent was dense when the President with Secret Service men bin With some difficulty the officers forced the crowd to allow the distinguished guest elbow room but they would allow him nothing more Had to Forage This maneuver forced the Adju tant General out of range of the sandwiches but the President de voted one hand to passing food to Ms escort while the other was de voted to his own advantage Ow ing to his advantageous position the President soon felt called on to help out other friends and he was kept busy passing plates a ser vice which he performed with alacrity and cheerfulness The manner of the Presidents lunching was sufficiently tional to excite curiosity and prob ably 25 per cent people who congested the tent were present merely to witness the Chief Execu tive of the nation eating at the democratic level of a clerk in a restaurant Some of the diplomatists and a number of other distinguished vis mounted the reviewing stand to find that there were no chairs for them It developed that the chairs had been cheerfully by unofficial guests who had arrived early on the scene With some difficulty other chairs were secured but they were little used as the visitors found they could keep off the chill more effect by standing The important Liberal Arts building were handled with all possible dispatch Early in the exercises word was brought to Senator Carter of the day that some portions of the hall were becoming dangerously con gested and he was asked to avoid delays as far as possible He did so and from first to last the events on the program succeeded each oth er rapidly Of all the speakers President Roosevelt alone was able to make his voice carry further than 50 feet from the stage By far the largest part of the assembly could hear nothing and it was nearly freezing
