8 THE GREAT EXWIBITION. One of Its Peculiar Fea- tures Explained. The Curiosities of the “Conces- sions for Privileges.” Fifty Thousand Dollars Offered for the Privilege of Sweeping the Floors of the Buildings— The Department of Public Comfort—The Restaurants—Popeorn and Peanuts, Putuaverrnia, Feb. 21, 1876. In the financial statements of the Centennial Board of Finance which have been published from time to time ft is probable that nearly every rei must hare no- ticed that next to the subscriptions to the stock, which bow amount to $2,353,750, and the appropriations by the governments of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, together aggregating $2,500,000, the largest and most important source of income 1s embraced under the brief and inexpressive caption of “CONCESSIONS FOR PRIVILKGRS."” nature of the ‘concessions’ and what the “privileges” were no one seemed to understand except ey conjecture. Communications havo ap, ed in the local newspapers from those perennially tn- | quisitive persons, “Anxious Infflirer,”” “Old Subscri- | ber’ and others of the family, asking in vain for fur. thor information. Inquiry at the offices of the Cen- tennial officials showed that thero was an air of mys- tery about the matter, not because there was anything “crooked? about it—to use @ word that 13 now in fashion—but because i was not | deemed “judicious” to make public the items under this heading at the present time, If, like Mr. Tweed, the inquirer p ed fora “bill of particulars,"’ he was | politely refused and referred to the Committee on Con- eessions, being given to understand in a general way | that the conce ns Were grants to sell articles within | | the Bxbibi grounds, awarded to restaurateurs, cigar dealers and newsmen mostly, at the highest | prices offered, the money to go, of course, toward re- imbursing the stockholders in the Centennial fund. When, therefore, the Henao correspondent endeay- cred to obtain a list of those concessions as a legiti- mato item of uews he found his path filled with ob- stacles. But by dint ot persistent work tho details were obtained, and a number of curious facts were the | result, interesting as showing the American love of speculation, fertility of invention in devising means of making money out of the Exhibition, and an apparent | Dut not real recklessness in paying large sums of | money for what to the unpractised often seoms like a | trifling privilege. A CASE IN POINT. For tstance, one man has offered $50,000 for the | “privilege”? of swoeping out the Exhibition buildings, | guaranteeing to pay all his help aud to keep the fifty odd acres of flooring in the buildings perfectly cleaned. One cannot dat admire the ingenuity and business | foresight of this man, asa little calculation will show | that by a very moderate chargo to cach exbibitor for | keeping his space clean, and by being permitted to re- tain money and valuables found in his sweopings this enterprising individual might make a very good thing out of the c sion, notwithstanding the high prico, This proposition has not yet been accepted by tie committee, who have some doubt as to the propriety of allowing it. ANOTHER, Neither can we help wondering at the ingenuity and apparent recklessness of the man who has paid $12,000 for the exclusive privilege of hiring out rolling, or Bath, chairs, to visitors to the Exhibition at fifty cents an hour. He has also agreed to pay $40 on cach chair over 300 which he employs, [tis estimated that 160 more than this will be needed, which, at $40 per chair, will be $6,000, making $18,000 for this privilege alone, “YOR COLD soDA.’* Another man, wih every contidence that we shall have a hot summer, has given $30,000 for the right to dispense soda water during the six months of the fair, He will elso pay twenty cents on every gallon sold, which royalty will reach, it is thought, $32,000, so that the soda water man will have to pay to the Gen- tennial fand about $62,000. * THE CATALOGUR The Centennial Catalogue Company have paid $100,000 tor the privilege of printing and selling the full ‘official catalogue of the Exhibition. The work ts to be in four volumes, is to be sold for twenty-five cents a volume, and they'aro restricted to only twenty« five pages of advertisements in cach volume. Nev thel are of the opinion that Nagle & Co, have a bonanza and that “there's millions in it.’? For cigars and tobacco to be sold at Gve stands in the grounds only, not in any of the buildings and not exclusive of other rights to sell, a shrewd tobacconist has paid $15,000 PURLIC COMPORT DEPARTMENT, The sum of $20,000 hus been paid for the privilege of forming and controlling the Department of Public Comtort. The company ie required to pat up a build ing 100 feet by 100 fect, to cost not less than $10,000. This is to be used for waiting rooms for visitors and as reading and writing rooms for ladies aud gentlemen, and no charge will be allowed, The company | will also have offices and messengers in many portions | of tho puildings and grounds, and will be allowed to | charge moderately tor the care of packages, parcels, travellers umbrellas, canes, &c., for which they wil! gi ecks, and to sell Lewspapers and_ pe. riodicala, but no! sive of the rights of other newsmen. There will be messengers and a system of tetograph (0 be used by the Public Cor Depart. | mont, which will bu of great service to visitors, For Instance, a party of travellers entering the Exhibition | pe may give orders to have their luggage ready for them at another gate at a certain or they may telegraph to have their luggage se & acertain point to meot ll these require. | Public Comfort Depar will attend to, | othor little services, such as giving infor: mation ay to localities and objects of interest. It will be @ most asefui adjuuct to the great fair if properly @onducted. A HOTRL CONCESSION. The Globe Hotel 18 a large structuro erected just oute | Side the principal entrance to the grounds, for Centen- nial accommodation. It contains 1,800 rooms, can Jodge and teed 8,000 people, anc is said to be the largest hotel in the world, About one-half the ground on Which it stands belongs to the city, aud is now con- trolled by the Ceutential Commission. The concession to build thereon wags obtained for $10,500—-a compara- tively smail sum, RESTAUBANTS. ‘There will be six restaurants within #e Exhibition grounda, all in special buildings to be er by the | owners of the concessions, wh.ch cost $6,000 for each establishment, These structures will be of the nand- somest design and construction, none of them to cost loss than $10,000, and one as high as $50,000, Tho mames of the restaurateurs are as follows:—!’, Sudreau, | ef New York, French restaurant; E. Mercer, of At- Janta, Ga, “he Suuth,”’ a palatial club house, and the headquarters of Southern visitors; L. Goyard, Trois Frores Provencaax,” the famotis Parisian restau- | rant; K. J. Lauber, of Philaflolphia, a German restau- | rant ona large and complete scale; Tobiason & Hetl- bran, the American Restaurant, the building to cost $50,000. Detailed descriptions of the plans sor* these Testaurants would be of interest were there space in | this ietter. A Jewish restaurant will also be conducted | vb aries Cailman according tothe Hebrew dietary | It will be a aovel and interesting feature, OTHER CONCESSIONS. The Centennial Photograph Association has paid @ fixed sum, $3,000, for the privilege of making pic- tures in the grounds and buildings, and will also pay ten per cont On their gros# receipts over $90,000, The Ceatennial Guide-Book Company ‘have paid $5,000 tor the exclusive right of sale within the en- closure, but are under the wise restriction to put no advertisements in their book, Tho Mik Dairy Association have, for $3,000, secured aright to put up a building for the sale of milk and Milk products, of which, of course, ice cream will ve in the greatost demand. A Virginia tobacco factory, in Lynchburg, hove Deen given a concession to erect @ tobacco manu. | factory, on asmali scale, to exbibit the mode of pre- ing the weed and sel! the game, They have paid 000 for the privitege. The Vienna bakery will be another one of tho in dustrial occupations exhibited on asmall scale. A complete Austrian bakery will be working so as to show the entire process, and as the product is to be | fold the Board of Finance has charged $3,000 for the vgbt. laws, OT stsen ticking concern bag obtained an exclasive | o@cession to supply ginss tor the exhibitors and the commission for showeases &a, by the payment of $3,000. Itis sttpuiated in the contract that they are to do the work at the very lowest market prices. A well known confectionery manviacturer will make and sell chocolate and fine candies on the grounds, ex- hiditing ail the processes of manuincture, His grant cost $5,000, The Centennial National Bank, a West Phiiadelphia institution, lately incorporated, with Mr. E. A. Roiling Qs president, will put up a bank building on the Exhibi- tion grounds also, for the use of the commission, ox- bibitors and visitors.

Concorning this matter of f the telegraph facilities there is some dispute, which is not yot settled, * WOMEN’S CENTENNIAL UNION. The women of New York who take an Interest in the Centennial Exhibivon at Philadelphia have issued the following addres: To Tae Puntic:—The deputation from the New York Women’s Centennial Union visited Philadelphia on Sat urday and was most cordially entertained by the Presi- dent and representative members of the Executive Committee. As early as 1873 a band of thirteen women tn Phila- delphia inaugurated the woman's movement, whTeh has epread throughout the Union, and their efforts, with the co-operation of other women 1m othor Statos, realized the sum of $95,140, In June, 1875, ap- plications from otber countries for exhibition space had alrcady become numerous, and among the appti- cauts women held 8) prominent @ place that it was decided to inslitato a department in which exclusively the inventions and industries of women should ve exhibited. The Women’s — Com- mission set to work anew to rajso funds for this purpose, and within four months their appeal bad resulted inasum of $20,000 for the erection of the Women’s Pavilion. Twelve States contributed to (bis sum, tho women of Pennsylvania giving $16,000, of Oblo $10,000, of Masgachusetts $5,000. About $15,000 eded {0 complete the building and for I orations, including showcases, gas fixture: &e., togethor with current expenses during the Exhibi- tiot, to which may, perbaps, be added the expense for a model hospital, with trained nurses and a kinder- Barton, It is desired that a representative be sent from New York to the Executive Board in Philadelphia that sho may represent ler city in the approaching colebra- tion, und have a vote in their meetings. It possible local committees will be formed here to col- | lect subscriptions in the different wards. As one of the | | great cities of tho Union, New York naturally wishos to | furnish ber proportion in the celebration, and to this end the following resolution was adopted yesterday at a meeting of the Executive Committee, held at the house of Mrs, General Cullum, Resolved, tnasinuch as Peunsylvania has contrivated *), It is resolved that New York city 00 for the women’s departiuent, including 2,000 ed for the banner. All raised above and. be, shall be devoted to a memorial in this city ‘s and children’s united efforts in the Centenn! nd “Lo ful yeur,” The time is short, but if with patriotic fecling the women of our city Unite and work with a will they may yet accomplish this double aim and celebrate our anuiversary by joining in the universal expression of enthusiasm at P’liladelpbia and also by erecting in our city a permanent memorial of this great blessing of the one bundredth ycar of our national prosperity and growth. A call is, therefore, made to the woinen of New York to connect themselves in some way with the Central Board of the Women’s Centennial Union, Chickering Hall, Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, where all written communications as to articles to bo exhibited, &c., will be received aud duly answered. Subscriptions may be sent to the same place, to the Treasurer, Mrs. N. P, Hosack. BADEAU TO BE RETRIED. vigorous | About a year ago ex-Collector of Taxes, Isaac Badeau, | was tried before the City Court for the alloged embez zlemont of the sum of $50,000 of public moneys while he tilled the office of Collector. ‘The jury disagreed and were discharged, The case has now been noticed for another trial on the second Monday in March. Mr. Badeau has been in very delicate health fora tong time past, and it is considered doubttul whether he will bo able'to attend court at the time fixed upon, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Frederick Maher, a young Englishman, attempted to commit suicide yesterday morning by cutting bis throat with a penknife, He boarded at No. 217 Court street, Brooklyn, and was employed as a clerk in a wholesale house In New York, He is supposed to have been laboring under mental aberration at the time, His wound was dressed by Dr. Irish, and his condition is not dangerous. THE YOUNG LORD IN LIMBO, THE FAVORITE OF BUFFALO TO GRIEF—PARTICULARS OF THR CASE, [From the Buffalo Courier, Feb, 21.) For something over a month a young Englishman, named Hugh Courtney, aged twenty-three years, sup- posed to bo one of the descendants of a titled family ‘across the water," be having represented himseif as the son of tho Earl of Devonshire, has been cutting quite a swell im fashionable circles bereabouts. To all appearances he was well supplied with filthy lucre; his attire wa and decidedly English. He CHANGED IIS CLOTHES several times a day, was potted and courted in society circlés, for ‘‘a lord, you know,” is a novelty hére and his acquaintance not to be slighted. He was beheved to be the soul of honor, of course. His intense aristo- cratic feelings, upon his first appearance, led him to decline being introduced to some of our first families, “because they sold leather,’’ but subsequent delibera- tiong caused him to chango his mind. He BOARDED AT THE TIFFT WOUSR, called for the best the house afforded, drank enstly wines, smoked expensive cigars—in fact indalged his qptravagant tastes and habits to the fullest extent. But alas for the uncertainties of human enjoyment! | Saturday nigit found bin THE INMATR OF & PRISON CKLL proprietor of the Tift House of $325, the amount of his botel bill contracted during his stay here. ticulars of the caso, as learned by our reporter, are, in substance, that Courtney lef England three months ago for San Francisco, where, as in Buifalo, he mado | himself conspicuous and popular among the ton ton A little more than a month ago ho came here and took up his quarters at the Tift House, He represented to Dr. Tuthill that his funds bad sun short, but he would soon receive a remittance trom his father, the Earl, and would make good all liabilities incurred. This was SOCIETY BROUGHT | | 283, 1865, 823, 715, 865, 1924, 19, ‘loud,”’ of the very latest fashionable cut | THE COURTS. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Before Judge Duffy. THE CRISPINS AGAIN.

He has only been on the force one month, and his brave defence was much commended | by Captain McDonnoll and also by Judge Morgan, A SNEAK THIEF. Mrs, Catherine Salmon, of No. 857 West Filty-second street, on Monday afternoon sat down in the waiting room of the Hudson River Railroad depot, Thirtieth treet and Ninth avenue, to await the starting of a raip.

The accused, it may be remembered, was a witness for the defence on the trial of Pesach N. Rubonstein for the murder of Sara Alexander, and he then testified, under oath, that the young shoemaker, Nathan Levi, who was said to have been on intimate terms wiih the deceased, had shaved off his beard since the discovery of the murder, It was proved to the satisfaction of the jury, by the District Attorney, that Levi had never pul a razor to his face in his life, and there was not the sign of a. beard tnere.

Buckley, both being in full uniform, Whon near Madison street Keeley sudaenly turned upon the roundsman and demanded to know why dis footsteps were boing dogged, Buckley denied the charge, saying he was simply on his way to the tation house, An angry altercation ensued, with abuse and vile cpithets, Suddenly Keeley struck Buckley in the face, after repeating which he was knocked down by Buckley. He arose and the two clinched and both fell struggling to the ground, where they rolled and tumbled, greatly amusing a crowd of interested and tin- partial spectators. Kesley then seized the roundsman, and calling him his prisoner, the latter expressed his willingness to be takon to the station house. When at the door he grasped the patrolman by the collar, and dragged him before Sergeant ‘Tims, making a charge of assault and battery, and Keeley was locked up. The parties appeared at Essex Market Court, before Judge Otte:bourg, terday, and after listening to their stories the magis- ischarged both, remarking that the Police Com- mi were the proper judges in such cases and the mattor should go 10 them for consideration, The partics to this disgraceful affair have been on the police force many years, and heretofore have borno good reputations. ‘Kocley, firsta patrolman, was pro- moted roundsman of the mounted squad, and subse- quently transferred to the Kighth precinct for special detective duty. About a year ago he was detailed as a Central Office detective, and about a week ago was transierred to the Seventh precinct. Roundsman Buekley has served inthe Fourth and Seventh pre- cincts, and satisiactorily to his superiors, He stated yesterday that he could not account for Keoley’s con- duct on Monday night, as he had never, to his knowl- edgo, offended him, He said, further, that in nis opinion Keeley was not intoxicated, and Sergeant Tims exproased the same opinion, | THE TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR RoOB- BERY.

AN OLD WOMAN KILLED BY A YOUNG MAN SUFFERING FROM DELIRIUM TREMENS. A horrible murder was perpetrated in Milwaukee, Wis., on tho 19th inst, the victim being an old woman named Maria Parker, aged about sixty-five years, and the murderer a young man of twenty- one named Dave Spellan, The details fur- nish another to the many examples of the evil of intemperance, the perpetrator of the savage dood having been in a continual state of intoxication since January 1, and laburing under an attack of da- rium tromens at the time. The only person present was the mother of the murderer, who was found in her bed in an pavvlning room, hersoif too much under the influence of liquor to realize the horrible situation around her, An examination of the premises and the body of the unfortunate woman showed that she had been beaten over the head by a billet of wood in the hands of her crazy murderer and left by him for dead, The reporter of tho Commercial Times, visiting the place soon after, met a sister of Spellan, who made the following statement :— THK SISTRR’S STATEMENT. “This morning about quarter past nine o'clock, Willio, my sister's little boy, came to where I reside on Jackson street, and asked me to harry down to mother, that Dave was drunk and was goiig to Kill mother. i took my hatand hurried down to the house, As I opened the door I saw Maria on the floor ina pdol of blood. She was lying with her head to the stove and her face covered with blood, As T entered the room Dave caught up a chair and made a blow for my head. 1 warded it off with my armand fan intoa corner. The chair came down on my arm and I said:—‘Why, Dave, don’t you know me! don’t you know me! I am your sister Lib, I won't nurt you, no one will touch you; 1 came down to see mother. You wouldn't hit me, would you? Come, Davy, now, be quiet, everything is ali right.’ As I said this ho put the chair down and walked to the other side of the ‘room, Mother was sitting by the table. I was afraid that Dave would bit fe and asked her to go and get help, Sho went for Mrs. Leopold, who came running up to the house. I triod to lift Mrs. Parker off the floor, but foand she was too heavy for me, I feared that Dave would strike me if I was alone and attempted to pick her up, and waited until Mrs. Leopold came. Togothor we litted the helpless woman on the lounge, and I com- menced bathing her head with a wet towel. The blood ‘was streaming over her face and ran down on the floor, She asked me to her f hor to the bed oo her handsion the side of her head. Her last wot were, ‘I would rest casier there.’ I tried to lif her with Mrs. Leopold, but could not, so we tet her remain on the couch. I sent word to have a doctor called.

THE PRICE OF GAS. The Manhattan Gaslight Company and the New York Gaslight Company officially announce that after the Ist day of March thé price of gas will be $2 50 por 1,000 cubic feet, instead of $2 75 as heretofore. The reduction is made in consequence of the recent action of many families and storekeepers, who have used kerosene oil instead of gas. EXPLOSION OF GAS, At seven o’clock last night pedestrians in Proadway, near the Grand Central Hotel, were startied by a loud reportas of a cannon, and simultancously the large lamp post in front of the hotel fell to the ground with acrash. The occasion of the fall was an explosion of gas, which, through a leak in the pipe, had filled the interior of the post and lamp. Whon the lampligh placed his torch in the lamp to light the gas the explo- sion occurred. Fortunately no person was seriously injured, Major 3, A. Heath, who was standing of the hotel at the time of the explosion, ma uch a hurried attempt to by that he fell to the sidewalk and slightly injured his leg. The report was heard for biocks around, and within a few minutes hundreds of people were on the spot, believing that some terrible accident bad happened. BURNED TO DEATH. Shortly after six o’clock last night Elizabeth Ogden, an old lady of eighty-six years, hving in the tenement house in the rear of No. 108 East Thirteenth street, was sitting near the stove dozing when hor dress took firo and in a moment it was in a blaze, Her agonized screams as she ran from the room attracted the atton- tion of a young man named Coyne, living on the same floor, wno burried to her rescue, Betore the flames could be extinguished the unfortunate woman was burned on the body and arms in a frightful manner, Medical aid was promptly summoned, but within a few minutes the sufferer expired.

At the noon prayer meeting yesterday the larg@ hall was very nearly full. The meeting was opened by’ the singing of the eighty-fourth hymn, The congregation, then bowed their heads in silent praye, while Mr.\ Hepworth read the requests for prayer, among whiclt waa a request for the condemned man, Rubenstein; that Jesus may reveal Himself to him. Rev, Mr. Sabine then offered an earnest prayer for those per- Sons supplicating prayer, Mr. Moody afterward read afew verses from I, Timothy, ii, after which Rey. Stephen H. Tyng, Sr., lod in prayer. The 101s$ hymn was then sung. Mr. Moody said;—Our subject to-day is disobedi- ance, and I think we would find, by tracing oub our troubles, that they all come through our own disobedience, It is the cause of alk the troubleand~sorrow that has come into the worlds It was the rock that Adam stumbled over; right thera he fell. God told Adam he should not do thing and he disobeyed, aud our troubles come from the same cause, Look in I, Samuel, xv., 22 The Lord hath great dolight in burnt offerings and sacriflves; but behold obedience is better than sac- Tifice, If there bad never been any disobedience there would never have been any sacrifice needed. The first thing wo want in our homes is obedience. In God's kingdom there certainly canno} be disorder, ‘e must come under the rules and obey, See what Saul lost by disobedience, ie lost his crown; he lost his kingdom; his family; his friend Jonathan; the friendship of Samuel and the friendship of David, his son-in-law. He turned hig back upon them allon account of disobedience, and at last he lost his life. Now, ia the New Testament, take! the other Saul, Ono lost everything and the other hag no kingdom nor throne nor crown to lose, and he was: obedient unto death and he won acrown; he won « kingdom by his obedience. Thero comes a time in some of our lives when we must either disoboy tt or God. The Word of God is explicit on that point, We are to oboy our parents in the Lord; we are to obey God rather than man; and if the law ot nature comes into conflict with the law of God, break the natural law rather than God’s law. What we want isto learn the lesson of obedience, Mr. Sankey sung the soventh hymn as a solo, and Dr, Stephen H. Tyng, Sr., made a short addi Before the meeting closed Mr. Moody re not ter the Saturday meeting would bo hel Hall, tor the purpose of giving sulticient time for cleans~ ing the Hippodrome. A women’s meeting was held in the Fourth avenue hall, which was largely attended, Mra Bottome pre- sided. Mr. Moody and Mr. Xankoy went into the ine quiry rooms and there conversed with a great many persons who were secking tho straight and narrow way. ; EVENING SERVICES, Mr. Moody came in Jast night at eight precisoly, and openod the meeting by giving out the 116th hymn, “ComB THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING." After a prayor Mr. Sankey sang the fifteenth hymn—~ “The gate ajar for me’’—by request of the husband of the lady who wrote the hymn. The lady has now passed through the gate, and her husband was present at the meeting last night. Before singing it Mr. Sankey told how greatly it had been blessed in the north of Scotland, Mr. Moody read part of the fifth chapter of John, Mr. Sankey then sang the forty-first hymn. i Mr. Mooay began his address by saying:—‘‘You re- member I was speaking last night from the text, ‘For the son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.’ I did mot get through last nignt, and I don’t know that I ever will. I want to speak from the samo text to-night. I want to have every one of you ask yourselves the question, ‘Am I saved, or am I lost?” You certainly mast be one or the otner, Tam not ask- ing you whether you belong toa church, or whether you read your Bible, or whether you pray; but are you saved? is a question that ought to interest every one. Present salvation is the only galyation worth having. Some say it is presumption for men to say they are saved, It strikes me that it is prosumption not to say we aro saved if wo know it. There ts not one of the teachers in the Bible but taught assurance. It 18 the rivilege of every child of Godto know he is saved. on’t try to make out you are saved when you have no hope at all, Ask yourself the question. It is to the lost men I want to speak to-night. Christ came to seck and to that which was lost, Just admit that jgner aud you willbe saved.’ The best title that we can have to be saved, is that we are lost. It was Adam's fall that brought out God's love. I don't know whether wo would ever have found out about God’s love if it had not been for Adam's ruin, When the news came to heaven that ‘Adam had fallen, God came right down after him, Some say they cannot come to God till God first secks aiter them. we you never had any one put a tract imto your hand? Would the devil havo put that into any one's head? That was the son of God secking after you. You never heard a ser- mon but God was sceking you through it, There are A THOUSAND WAYS, ‘The fact of this building being thrown open night after night for people to come in without money and without price shows that God ts seek! you - wish I could make this word “lost”? clear to you. don't think there would be a dry eye here if you would ~ ‘understand what a soul is worth—what it cost Christ to redeem it.
