AS A POPULAR EDUCATOR
the great Exposition stands out pre-emi-
nent. The completion of the great build
ing, located on the brink of the Falls of ST.
Anthony, at cost of nearly half a million
dollars, and it's rapid filling with examples
of the arts. manufactures and sciences from
every country in the world brings fOrcibly
to view the value of such exhibits as edu-
Gators. The fact that many important in
dustries are represented by large and COM
plete workshops filled with skilled mechan-
les, and that hundreds of exhibitors are
ready and willing to explain the processes
by which their goods are evolved from the
raw material, may be noted, and the advan-
tages of such tuition over that ordinarily
given in schools and colleges are obvious.
In one case everything is theoretical,
in the other all is practical. In ad-
ditlon to these practical features, the
esthetlc side of life is as completely repre-
sented. In the spacious art galleries, COM
prislng fifteen rooms and courts, will be
found $50 examples of ancient and modern
sculpture and over LOCO of the best oil
paintings by leading American and foreign
artists, besides hundreds of drawings,
photographs. water-colors. etchings, etc.
The examination of these great sources of
instruction and culture wi II be enliyened
by proper amount Of amusement. The
great Mexican band can be heard several
times daily, and no other opportunity for
hearing it will occur again for years, per-
hapS never, as it is now here by special
permission of the Mexican government.
The cathedral organ, manipulated by
celebrated professor, will enliven the great
building with its grand strains.
sTEREoPTICoN EXHIBITIONS,
will occur almost every evening, where the
grandest and most beautiful features of the
earth and of mans handiwork Will be ex-
hibited on a scale never before attempted.
The great fountain in the central court will
be Illuminated with brilliant, many colored
fires every night, and a hundred pleasant
and amusing features will astonish and
instruct the visitor. All this and much
more, which we have not space to enum-
crate. will be provided SO cheaply that no
resident of the Northwest need fail to see
it. General admission is 25 cents and the
art gallery 10 cents, so that for 35 cents the
visitor can spend day in the midst Of the
wonders of the greatest Exposition ever at
tempted in this country, and see and hear
everything. The railroads make special
rates. all Minneapolis hotels and boarding
houses offer special inducements and the
management of the Exposition provide
free directory of boarding houses and pri-
yate families who will take care of all who
come at rates specified in advance so there
will be no chance for eXtortion. Taken all
in all. this may be pronounced without
hesitation the chance of a lifetime, and
those who fail to take advantage of it
should have some good excuse for doing so.
Those who would know more about this
wonderful achievement OF Northwestern
enterprise should drop postal card to the
secretary of the Exposition at Minneapolis,
and he will send all who do so full particu-
lars and beautiful photo-lithographic view
of the building. The opening day will be
Monday, Aug. %, and for six full weeks
thereafter not a day will pass that will not
be marked by special features, so that come
when he will. the visitor will find some
thing novel to amuse and instruct, in addi-
ton to all the regular features of the Ex-
position.
GREAT DOUBLE ATTRACTION.
ANY and all alleged rivalry between the
wonderful Twin Cities has been sunk in the
great dual event of the fall season-the Ex-
position and the state fair. 1t is uniyer-
sally conceded these two star events will
assist each other, the Exposition sending
visitors to the fair and the fair sending vis-
itors to the Exposition. The latter runs
