OUR EXPOSITION LETTER.


Ifany one thing has pleased the
visitor more than another, it is old
liking Kotton" and his wife. 1t is q
good representation of II centenarian
couple. They are constructed as hui
man figures almost life-like sitting
close together, he seemingly rejecting
over the past, while a little
dog looks wistfully at its master; she
quietly knitting, kitten is toying on
the floor with the ball of yarn which
has rolled from the venerable DANES
lap.-Eyerything is cotton except the
spectaeles which the two old people
wear. They are in glass case located
in the Louisiana section, government
building, and are the artistic work of
w. +. RQhert, OF this city.
Arkansas challenges the whole ex-
hibit to excel her in the display of
fruit: California will doubtless take
up the gauntlet for $4,000.
With the completion of the stables
live examination of fat cattle was held
this week and premiums awarded.
chihuahua, Mexico, sends to the
Exposition pyramid of silver bull
lion weighing 5640 pounds and valued
at $4,000.
The financial condition of the EX-
position has been q little qp,mlped by
the eAsenslHe bpf necessary OUTLAWS of
money, even since the opening. 1t

~. But it was otherwise. Conse-
quently, Il mass-meeting was called
Thursday night to devise ways and
means to secure about $500, 900, which
would square all accounts now due,
and help pay runnin. expenses with
out drawing on the gate receipts.
Major Burke on behalf Of the Finance
Committee explained the condition
of affairs, and added that the citizens
of New Orleans could not and would
not let the matter 60 by default, in
city worth it's hundreds Of millions.
A committee was appointed whose
first official act was to head the sub
scription list with $25, 200, their indi-
vidual contribution. They will report
the results of their efforts tonight.
Even If the money should not all be
raised, the Exposition, which of itself
is success beyond all cavil, will con-
tinue to attract, and the people will
come and attest by their presence it is
all and more too than has been said.
Last Sunday was the first Sabbath
religious services have been dispensed
with in Music Hall since the Expo
sition opened.
Premiums were awarded some of
the fatcattle on exhibition here Thurs
day. They were weighed and ex-
amined infinitely.
New Orleans is one of the greatest
ports of the United States through
which the flood tide of immigration
is likely to flow in future. An imigra-
ton from Europe has centered here
since the first French settlement. At
tracted by consanguinity and by lang
uage, many of the sons of France who
seek foreign shore, find themselves
irresistably attracted by that city
locking out on the tropics that bears
for name that Which draws TO mind la
puceUe d. Orleans the renowned Joan
of Are. The original French settle
ment Is thus being continually added
to, and despite its American nation
ality those of France look upon it as
an outpost of their country beyond
the sea. Hence, France. and Spain also
which too has contributed of its blood
to build it up, Italy and Continental
Europe asa whole will be attracted
hitler, as they could by no other
American city.

preparations will be made to receive
him in state.
The necessity for an accurate and
reliable Guide to tire City and Expo
sition grounds has been supplied by
Theo Pohlmann, who issues II very
hansome Guide Book containing also
a map of the city and street railways,
costing but IA cents by mail. 1t is |
worth three times the price asked and
is perfectly reliable.
