The Exposition Continued.

was one said to be duplicate of that
in which President Garfield was
buried. 1t was made of bronze, with
flint glass front and very elegantly |
and extensively adorned and trim
med. In the same exhibit was rep
resentation of President Garfield |
sleeping in the vault. The sleeping
form was CHASTITY pale, the eyes sunk
en- and the cheeks intensely emacia-
ted, all indicative Of lingering but
sure dissolution.
A New Orleans firm, dealing in
fancy dress goods, showed up as an
advertisement most beautiful life
size wax figure, very gorgeously
dressed. The dress worn cost 800,
the slippers, SIS; the necklace, $50,
and shawl $500. The material of
which the dress was made was cream
colored satin, and $50 worth of point
lace was used in trimming. Nor was
there a great deal of lace used. In
the same display was case of lace,
the price of which was from So cents
to $50 per yard.
The Pullman Car Company have
seen fit to exhibit model of the city
of Pullman. The car mandatory,
in fact every house in the city, the
shade trees, parks, avenues and lum-
Der yards, are properly represented
by miniature representations made of
wood. This city of 5000 inhabitants
belongs entirely to the stockholders
of the Pullman Car Company. There
is no form of municipal government
in the city other than the will and
wish of the Company.
The Waltham Watch Co., also have
model of the mandatory in which
the Waltham watch is made. The
main building presents a $50 foot
front, is four stories high and covers
five acres of ground. This establish
ment is said to be the Oldest, largest
l. and richest in the United States. The
number of workmen employed is
$500. The prices of the Waltham
watches on exhibition VARIED from
$40 to 1915, and the value of the ex-
= hibit was estimated at $4,000.
The fastest working thing seen was
a twelve-block single machine. Its
daily capacity was 100000.
One of the most splendid exhibits
seen was $4,000 worth of Bohemian
b glassware. Were to attempt to de-
scribe the beauty of any of this ware
/ would fail; but to give an idea of
its expensiveness l will mention but
two articles. A flower vase about q
feet high could have been bought at
1925, and a cut-glass card receiver
about 1S inches high was held at
$3.50.
WinOna Roberts, Louisiana girl,
10 had the misfortune to lose both arms
by being caught in a sugar cane mill.
She has written a very neat letter
stating her misfortune, and said let
ter is nicely framed and on exhibi-
ton. Some one suggests that writing
can be done easily enough with the
toes, and there is no need of exhibit
, ing letter written by using the toes
: as something wonderful. Be not SC
fast. This letter was not written by
: the toes, but by the mouth. The
\. writing was rather angular, but neat
and plain.
b. F. Avery q Co., also seyera
other companies, have some of thu
O. finest and most perfect plows eve1
er exhibited. Avery's exhibit was es
in pecially attractive for twofold rea
son. First, there were some as per
- fectly constructed and as beautifully
painted plows as ever were exhibited
And secondly, there was suspended
:, at different places in the exhibit
large cards on which was printed
challenge to a field test of the cottOl
cd and sugar pillow. The contest was t
o uSS be decided by disinterested judge
and the loser to forfeit one THOUSAND
- dollars. The time of the challeng
was limited to one month, and lacke,
. but one day Of being out when see
n by me. AS to whether it was &C
Y cepted during the last day knoN
q not.
The statuary. from France, Ital
5 and Russia reflects great credit upo

scenes pertaining to the history {
