Ed. Nlugkt:
As 1 have been in the World’s
Fair City for several days 1 wish
to oiler my old friends, and others
who may he interested, a bit ot my
experience at this great exposition.
The first thing 1 did was to at
tend the National Educational As
sociation. At this congress 1 saw
and heard the great, educators of
this continent, and many others
from Europe. Among the promi
nent figures who spoke at the eon
vention was Dr. W. T. Harris,
United States Commissioner of
Education. 1 think it a grand
privilege for any aspiring young
teacher to lie permitted to sit in
such an august assembly of peda
gogues.
Then 1 went to the Palace of Ag
riculture. This colossal structure
covers twentystbree acres of
ground. It is the largest building
at the Exposition. Within its
walls is the greastest variety of .
products of the soil, collected from
the entire world.
I almost exhausted myself walk- j
ing and gazing in the great Hull of ,
Machinery. This immense build-
j ihg contains the wonderful engines ,
and generators composing the Ex- .
position power plant.
1 then made a tour of the Palace
of Manufactures. This giant
structure covers fourteen acres of
ground and presents a marvelous
illustration of what can be done by
the powers of nature combined
with the mind of man.
The art industries of many
states and nations are fittingly
represented in the Hall of Varied
Industries, In this building you
see the most striking contrast be
tween oriental products and those!
of the western world.
The Palace of Liberal Arts con
tains a store house of the most
wonderful things from all the
progressive and ambitious nations
of the earth.
I can not begin to describe what
is being done in the Palace of
Electricity. A wireless telegraphy
station in full operation is only
one of the many thousands of
things that are being done by this
mysterious force — electircity —
which has revolutionized the world.
At the Transportation Building
I saw every kind of vehicle that
the mind of man has been able to
conceive from the earliest times
down to the present. The- old
solid wheel wooden cart stands
way, Al least all light was exs
tingimhed except that weird glow
from the lake of (Ire. Skeletons
dropped down from tlm roof of
the cave and ghosts played about
us. T inally we reached the inner
chamber where Satan himself sat
upon a throne, armed with the
emblem of his domain. We then
'emerged from the infernal region
and looked into the region celes-
tial. The angels ascending and
descending Jacob’s ladder was a
! magnificent eight.
To shoot the chute is a little
thrilling, but it cannot ho coin par''
cd to a ride on the scenic railway. !
1 imagine it is more like falling I
from tta clouds.
I took two rides over the Ferris |
wheel, which is nearly 300 foot
high.

Visited the Lincoln cabin the;
same log cabin in which Abe Lin-
coin lived. About this cabin are
many relics associated with Liu- j
coin. Among them a clock, spin- j
I'ing wheel, reel, loom, bedstead >
and Lincoln’s official ear the same)
that carried him to the funeral j
after his assassination,
j My next visit was to Battle Ah
l bey, in which 1 saw a splendid cyc-
loiama of the battle of Cotyshurg
anti another of the second battle of
Bull Run. This building also con- j
! tained many interesting war relies, i
j Among them were the following:!
! A cannon that belonged to Wash- I
; ington’s army, hat which Gen. 1

! that the unhappy and disagreeable
I mood into which one is thrown by
a disappointment is a severer loss
than the thing about which he
complains. Many a man and wo
man lias brought into the home
circle a sour visage and a moroso
temper over some unfortunate oc-
curance and has clouded the home
atmosphere and sown seeds of al
ienation between those who should
love each other and stand togeth
er. The result of the ill nature
has been utterly disproportionate j
to its" occasion. Probably it is
asking too much to expect a swain
who has been refused by the lady !
of his heart, or a business man
who has lost a good bargain, or a !
woman who has been caught in
tlie rain wearing her best bonnet,
to be exubertantly cheerful; but
even in the ease of such dire mis
fortunes philosophy may come to
our aid and teach us not to make

The first steam engine- ever used I
in America is here by the side of
those modern giant monsters that
draw the trains oyer our great !
trunk lines.
If time and space would only j 1
permit, I would tell you much
I about what I saw in the Palace of ! U'*P 11C!V,!! 'lhelo
| Education, the II. S. Goverment
: Building, Palace of Fine Arts and
many others, but I must turn
: away from these general exhibits
and tell you of some of the special
features which I have “taken in.” j
In a diving boat I made a joins
noy along the bottom of the sea i
and watched the dolphins sport
among their sub-marine compan- ;
ions. This was an illusion, of j
course, but it seemed to be a trip
under tho Atlantic Ocean. The
return voyage was made in an air
ship.
Next I took a peep iuto the 1
“Hereafter.” This show was con - !
structod in accordance with
Dante’s idea and as the guide accom
panied us fftrough Hades he. rjuot-
ed appropriate passages from the
“Inferno” as the successive circles
were reached. 1 saw departed be
ings punished in every conceivable
ii
1 Hancock wore in the battle of
j Gettysburg, sash that Gen. Pick-
I Gt 'wore when he made his famous
| charge, official chair of Jefferson
Davis, letters written by Stone-
wal 1 Jackson and the stump of the
old apple tree under which Loo
surrendered.
Went to Jcrusalin. Of course
' this is a reproduction, but it is as
i nearly like the original as possible,
i I saw mfiny inhabitants from the
; real Jerusalem, Solomon’s temple,
j Mount of Olives, calvary, the
; golden candlestick, altar of in
cense, and many other interesting
things and* places. 1 went into
tho sepulcher where Christ was
laid.
The minnie battle of Manila was |
not without interest. Torpedo j
boats were used, mines set and j
ships blown up just as they were
in the real battle.
My visit to the ostrich farm was
very instructive. The largest
ostrich I saw weighs 375 pounds^
I was surprised to learn that an
ostrich produces $1.00 worth of
plumes every year and that tho
average ostrich is worth $1200,
while (hose noted for their racing
qualities are worth as much as
$5000. A good racer can run
fol ly miles an hour. Those birds
have small wings but can’t fiy.
I took a trip from New York to
the North Pole. This was purely
an illusion but it was a ehurmino

and capable of adopting American
manners and customs very readily.
Most all the houses are built of
bamboo, which is a plant similar
heroes—John B. Gordon — and
because everything there grow in
Georgia of was made in Georgia,
except two pianos. I saw many
Georgians but they wore all
to the reed, only about four inches I strangers. I could not find The
I went into the haunts of the
I dill Dwellers and saw their
I strange modes of life. While
j there I was permitted to see their
i snake dance, eagle dance and some
! of their slight of hand perform-
! anccs.
In the Eskimo village I saw
many of the little brown inhab
itants of the fur north. They al
j lowed mo to take a ride on their
dog sled. “Riding on a sleigh”
I from the Arctic regions doesn’t
happen eycry day.
I saw a cabin built on Put rich
Henry’s farm during Revolution—
I arytimes. In this cabin wusGover-
! nor Berkley’s old gun, in use more
than two hundred years ago; also
' a chair brought over on the May-
I flower.
The Philippine exhibit is very
j extensive and very interesting.
The average native is intelligent
in diameter and tall in proportion.
The Igorrotes are a tribe brought
from the Philippine Islands but
are not true Philippines. These
people are tho lowest typo on the
Exposition grounds. They wear
red sashes around their waists with
au additional appendage tied to the
sash in front and behind. Their
oilier clothing is the same that
Adam and Eve wore before they
pinned the lig leaves together.
Three battles of the Boer War
are reproduced. These make an
excellent series of sham battles.
They are conducted just as all
other military exercises of the
kind with the additional feature
that men and horses are. “killed”
and lie on the field until the cur
tain falls.
With trained drivers, life boats, J
ropes, etc., a vivid illustration is
given of the U. S. life saving ser
vice along the coast.
There is n flora! clock bore —
floral because the figures on the
dial plate are flower beds. It is
built on a bill side. Tho bands
weigh 2500 pounds each. Tho
minute hand is 71 feet long and at
thp end it moves five feet per
minute.
I have been to many of tho
state buildings. Mike the Geor
gia build'ng because it is a vepro -
dilution of the home of one of her
Nuugkt on ibe files. I suppose it
is due I . tho fact that St. Louis is
infested by pick-pockets who take
every nickel, dime and dollar in
sight, and then it is not leusonablo
that they would allowsJKuosETfiito
lie alound loose.
It has been my happy privilege
to see and touch tho old Liborly
Bell—the same (del boll that pro
claimed the biith of a new nation
one hundred and twenty-eight
years ago. On the fourth of July
the Declaration of Indepcndcne
was recited over the old bell, tho
“Star - Spangled Banner” was
rung while Hags waved and pa
triotic cheers went up from a
thousand throats.
I have only given you a hint of
what 1 11av.* • a n here, hut my let
ter is already too lengthy. I mubt
quit. Allow me to say in conclu-
sion that the spark'ing cascades,
playing fountains, magic pools,
splendid models of architecture
and statuary, tho waving of flags,
and the grand electrical display
render these grounds a city of in
comparable magnificence—a city
in whose streets tho peoples of tlm
earth walk by your side and sam
ples ot all that the world contains
are displayed before you.
Yours very truly,
