to which it belongs. A large and ac-
curate map of the whole State will be
on exhibition, showing the geographic
al location Of every foot of railroad,
every mine, quarry, water power, col

Tennessee headquarters will be pro.
vided, where will be found register,

for public convenience, and all possible
arrangements to make comfortable and
agreeable visit to this great EXPOSE
ton. Nothing will be left undone to
present the State to the best possible
advantage.
The results flowing from this, the
greatest of Worlds Exposition, cannot
fail to be most salutary and to exert
widely benefcent influence over the
whole country and especially Tennes-
see. The diffusion of knowledge, the
interchange of valued experience, the
exhibition of the highest skill, the con-
centration of the best results of ages,
the commingling of the people from all
chimes, will leave impressions the infu>
ence of which will be felt for genera
tons. Now is the time for Tennessee
to advertise its grand capabilities and
wonderful resources.

progress, applicable to individuals as
well as States and Nations. They
quicken the spirit of industry, art and
invention, by bringing the producer,
manufacturer and capitalist in direct
contact. Generous rivalry to Guido
each other in the arts of peace, and to
cultivate more intimate acquaintance
and social relations, are always produc-
tive of great good.
To secure a full and creditable ex.
hibit at New Orleans, we need the per-
sonal effort, energy and enterprise of
every Tennessean. Lay aside formali
ties and come to our assistance. Let
this appeal be considered special invi,
tation to all who may read or hear, to
contribute all and whatever they can.
in any way, shape or manner that will
benefit the individual, locality, county
or State. We cannot call personally
on each individual or locality. We
have appointed assistant commissioners
in each county in the State the gen
tlemen to look after the mineral, forest,
field, orchard and garden products,
and the ladies to look after "Woman's
work" paintings, drawings, needle
work, embrolderies, etc., etc. To this
end we invite volunteer names of those
who will take a lively interest in max.
ing up creditable and valuable ex>
hibit for Tennessee.
We recognize and acknowledge the
Importance of newspaper aid in this en-
terprise, and we cannot succeed with
out it. We aim to make the press Of
Tennessee a factor in our exhibit.
Provision will be made and we hope
to have on file, regularly, in this de-
partInent, during the Exposition, every
publication in the State. We hope il
this work to merit continuance Of
kind words and deeds.
We will not attempt to name what il

No State can boast more of her liv,
stock interests than Tennessee. Ampl
provision will be made at New Orlean
for this exhibit. Our breeder of thol

OUR UNKNOWN NORTH.
A1aska's Secrets Being Revealed by Coz
slant Research.

Alaska's Secrets Being Revealed by Con-
slant Research.
There are indications that our
Northern possessions, which have here
tofore been practically a sealed book to
the people of this country, are to be-
come better known to us. The appoint
ment of territorial officers for Alaska
seems to have already stimulated re-
search and adventure in that hitherto
unknown country, and there are very
likely to be some very interesting, if
not startling developments. A telegram
received here from the commander of
one of the revenue vessels in those
waters states that his vessel has just re-
turned from some explorations in what
have been hitherto almost unknown
regions of Alaska, and that the discov-
cries are Of very valuable and interest
ing nature. A letter just received from
San Francisco gives some particulars
of the arrival of Captain Healey there
from tour with o revenue vessel in
that section.
He rescued a party of starving miners
and the crew of a wrecked whaler far
at the north, saving ninety-eight per-
sons from horrible death. He sent a
boat a distance of three hundred and
fifty miles up the Kowgat River, a
stream hitherto little explored, obtain
ing some very valuable information
about the country and the people, gath
ering valuable specimens of minerals,
plants and birds. He explored and
photographed a large and valuable
island near Bogastoff, captured and
destroyed lot of liquor which whalers
and Illicit traders were preparing to sell
to the natives, and finally made trip
fAr north to rescue the crew mentioned,
encountering ice worse than any that
Schley found in his trip north, and in
spite of the fact that he was twenty
three days in an almost constant fog,
he dropped anchor within few rods of
the spot he had started to make on
hearing of the suffering crew. 1t is ex-
pected that between the stimulated
spirit of exploration that the appoint
ment of these territorial officers has
awakened, and the reports of these
officers themselves, the people of this
country will get within the next few
months more information about this
distant country than they ever had be-
fore. Cincinnati Times Star.

Sparks with the pudding, which was to-
60 into the Captains oven until its turn
came. Depositing the edibles IN their
proper places the two maidens walked
tout.
As the Captain himself declared, the
wind was taken completely out of his
sails, he was thrown upon his beam
ends, and, in short, was as good as
scuttled. After the facts in the case
were made known to the Captain by
Mrs. Gaff, he walked boldly into Miss
Budd's kitchen, and there, with the help
of many nautical phrases, delivered
unless Miss Budd and her friend Miss
Sparks consented to dine with him, the
turkey and pudding should come back.
They consented, and around the Cap
tain's table two old boys and two rather
elderly girls, presided over by a uni
versal suffrager, enjoyed Thanks
giving dinner as they had not for many
years.
Miss Budd's first act after dinner was
to erase the chalk-line in the hall On
the following Saturday Miss Budd came
to pay her rent-money, and very smiling
was she. The receipt had changed its
tune and read thus: Cynthia Budd to

maligned and treated with great disre-
spect, for which the perpetrators are

When the Captain read this he roared
with laughter and springing to his feet
thus addressed the blushing maid:

Ought to Attract Attention.

A curious paradox is just now pre-
sented in the display of a picture adj
vertising play called 1.-The Wages of
Sin is DEATH" in the windows of beer
saloons and other similar resorts. The
picture represents mother as turning
to the Gquor-seller and pointing to the
dead body of her baby crying out my
child is dead. You biIleda 1t is a
strange adOrnment for place whose
steps take hold on hell. The story is
vouched for as one of the most terrible in
the liquor annals of California. After
years of debauchery, the husband and
father, in q drunken frenzy, killed his child
The distracted mother caught up the
baby and ran with it to the saloon that
had been the ruin of her husband, and
laying the little one down on the counter,
called on the dealer of death to behold
his work. As she uttered the words,
her heart that had born so much gave
way, and she fell at his feet, dead.
When the husband "came to himself
and realized his dreadful deed, he
seized pistol that lay near, and blew
out his brains. The clergyman who
offered the last prayer over the three
inanimate forms of runs victims,
added, in telling this story to one of
our w. C. I. U. workers, ''and the
saloon keeper did not even close his
doors during that funeral. " - Union
