TuE EpuCATt lNAL EXHlBIT.
Our educational department, though
not neglected, is not nj all what II might
DO. Early In tho fall / requested the
Hon. Il. NJ. Baker, state superintendent
of education, to secure photographs
of our many public school-houses,
which tho communities seemed Will
ing To furnish free OF cost, and also re.

icSlly framed. Ho has accordingly sent
TO me nearly 2DO of these. The superior
architecture of these structures as
shown has ELECTED many expressions of
surprise aud compliment. Tho blind
institute likewise furnishes some valua-
bile and interesting contributions. Be-
sides these things | have caused TO be
published some 10000 copies of the re-
sumo OF our public schools, laws, sys-
tenn, ETC., prepared by Mr.. Bakor, and
which are now being generally dis
tributcd 10 parties interested. Al their
assembling hero the Texas Teachers
association considered and determined
on certain matters in connection with
this exposition in the state educational
interests which will be brought in due
time before your EScellency and the
legislature.
THE NATURAL HISTORY ENHInIT.
In tho geological, archaeological and
chronological departments, Texas Is
moro than well represented by those
skilled and laborious taxidermists,
Messrs. GustaYe Toudouze and II. Z.
Atwater. Here We have the most ar
tistically stuffed and mounted spec-
mems of animals and birds, such as in
habit the woods and prairies; ms also an
unequaled collection of insects, such as
live among tho shrubs and trees, due 20
Mr.. HeildgOdt, Of Bastrop. Not only
does this display interest and attract,
but il gives to the European and Amer
lean scientist correct idea OF our soil
an6 climate, and so Voriiics without
mcnts about our industrial capabilities.
For the proper care of these
q large number of showcases
had TO BIO purchased. 70
secure them at cheapest figures, | took
sealed bids from st. Louis, Chicago and
New Orleans. The st. Louis bid being
the lowest and best, as in all such in
now have nearly 100 running feet OF
these cases.
woMAN's WORK.
With our Woman's Work, ! first en-
perienced some embarrassment, rs in
o @ space allowed in the building to
"Woman's Work for the United States"
thore was an utter insulficiency of room,
as Texas had many times more in
this branch than any of the other
states. To have cared for it
ourselves would have entai!ed
an expense for showcases, shelving
and miscellaneous carpenter work, ma
terial, labor, ETC., amounting to several
hundred dollars. To have receded
would have been to deprive ourselves
of our share of the $4,000 allowed. We
devised the proposition TO make an tan
mex" of Il portion of the Texas space.
This met with favor and satisfactorily
solved the problem, and thus not only
saved to our fund n large amount of
better advantage the splendid offerings
of our ladies and the entire state eX-
hibit.
THE MANUFACTURES EXHIBIT.
OF manufactured products we have
but little TO boast thus far.
Some saddlery, harness, flour, medical
preparations, agricultural implements,
brooms, elc., chiefly from Dallas; wool
en- and cotton goods from New Braun
Il fs.,l,
and few other articles, comprise the
list. Arrangements are on foot to in
crease the supply.
LIVE STOCK AND POULTRY.
/ have appointed Mr.. A. S. Stoneba-
ker, of Waco, to secure the poultry eX-
hibit for our state at a cost not to ex-
ceed $3.50, which he estimates will be
quite sufficient for the purpose. In the
matter Of live stock, nothing has thus
and / fear the appropriation will not
permit display in this line, although
recognize the fact that a
is is''' ours in 't tRis interest ought
to be thoroughly represented.
TEXAS GARDEN.
The United States commissioner, Col.
and had duly assigned to us two acres
OF ground, situated on the great
between the main build
ing and the Horticultural hall. This
spring, this triangular space which q
gardener has plotted for us,
and which will be gravelled in the
walks, with q beautiful fountain at the
apex, all without cost to us through the
courtesy of the management, will be in
full blossom with every variety of
Texas shrubs, fruit trees, flowers, cacti,
grasses and other Texas growth.
OUR CRIMINAL DATA.
To Mr.. Morgan q. Kittrell, of Jewett,
am indebted for vivid presentation
of our criminal data, showing in sue
cinct, clear outline, in accurate detail,
the system of criminal jurisprudence

inquirer the very enviable position that
Texas occupies in this matter as COM
pared with the other states of this union.

We have also large amount of furni-

hairs, tables, wardr0bes; also wagons

Until November that the precise locality
