Eugene hk White in The Atlantic describes Buffalo summer staging of the Pan American Exposition. The 350 acre site and over 10 million dollars of settings created a towering night vision where Niagara, domes, pylons and fountains glowed with refined daylight.

The Beloved Evangelist Kimball Dies in Chicago
Edward Kimball, once a Boston Sunday school teacher and D L Moody pupil, gained fame for raising church debts totaling over 10 million dollars. His efforts aided Lincoln Park and Union Park Congregational churches and Emmanuel Baptist in Chicago, with a notable 110000 dollar debt raised for Dr Robinson's Presbyterian in New York. Though not a powerful speaker, his forceful presence and sincerity drove success, and he remained vigorous until near his death.

A Swift Flying Star Groombridge 1S30 in the Bear
