hay and corn crop. 1t will be about an even

A NEW ENGLAND CATHEDRAL
ORGAN.
The Only One at the Fair in tn
Display of Munger & FarwelI.

The Only One at the Fair in the
Display of Munger & FarwelI.
On a pedestal, directly under the
dome of the main hall, is the musical
display of Munger & Farwell, of 1O7
East Third street, st, Paul. Among the
most attractive instruments in the eX-
hibit is a New England Cathedral organ,
which is an exceptionally fine make of
instrument, even of its kind. 1t has
dOuble-back reeds, pedal bass
and massive pipe top. AS would
be easily supposed, the strains
from this instrument attract
universal attention and draw about a
crowd of attentive listeners. Among
the pianos the Decker Bros inStru-
ments lead, as do they in all cases, hav
ing no superior in the world. Eaines,
Briggs and Everett's are the other
makes OF pianos exhibited, and the New
England and Sterling organs. glass case
filled with band and string instruments
placed Oh the south side of the pedestal
attracts perhaps as much attention as
anything else in the display. The whole
is artiScally arranged, and most
charming effect is produced by the dar-
peries, which consist of beautiful hand
painted and embroidered piano covers
and scarfs. Some exceptionally attract
i've pictures add to the general effect of
the whole, and make such display as
one wants to linger around. As samples
of the goods contained in Munger d
FarwelPs wareroOmS on East Third
street, the display at the fair answers
the object it was placed there for, as
it is there that they show their goods to
such advantage as would be impossible
to expect any other place. While they
have always been foremost among the
st. Paul music dealers in displaying
their wares in a creditable manner,
their exhibit of the fair this year is just
a little better than anything they have
yet made.

The Product of the PilIsbury Mills
Displayed in the Usual Artistic
Manner.
Occupying a central position at the
east end of the main hall is the -four dis
play of Charles a. PilIsbury, the miller
king of the world. While the North
west has many branches of business
that are extensively known and many
men of celebrity, there are none better
or more universally known than
the above firm. whose mill product
feeds millions scattered over almost
all parts of the civilized world. AS
good and fully as instructive as taking
in the sights OF the fair would be trip
through the Pillsbury mills OF Mime
apOlis, where the output of flour alone
numbers over $500 barrels daily. To
people of the old world who know of the
Pillsbury "a" mill only by the reputa-
ton of the flour manufactured in it,
'tWOuld be rare treat to even gaze
upon it, let alone viewing the interior.
Their display at the Far consists OF
tower, erected inside a canOpy-rOofed
structure, built of the different brands
of Pillsbury's flour, among which
Pillsbnry's Best occupies the
most conspicuous position. A show
case. nicely arranged in apartments,
contains samples of the different
grains and mill products of the North
west. the whole making an exhibit well
worthy of the firm who makes it, and
whose reputation as millers has done
more to make the wheat fields of the
Northwest known throughout the world
than any other known agency.

A Display That EXcels in Excel
lence All Previous Efforts.
A State Fair without an artistic dis
play by the old and reliable dry goods
firm of Mannheimer Bros. would be an
exception indeed, and one which the
people of st. Paul and the patrons of
the Fair generally would not take to
very kindly. Since the erection of the
main hall-One of the finest buildings
grounds, by the way-they have
always occupied the same space
the southwest angle under the
dOme-and their friends know where to
find them and are always sure of find
ing something rare and interesting, as
well as rich and elegant, in their dis
play. The general opinion seems to be
that in the arrangement of their dis
play-fOr which Fred ROggenbau is re-
spOnsible-this year,a well as the quail
ity of the goods that go TO make it up,
they have surpassed all previous efforts.
Though the space occupied is not so
large, the goods there displayed repre-
sent many thousand dollars in value.
Among the pieces that will no doubt
prove specially attractive, to the ladies
at least, is point lace veil valued at
$1,000 a piece of point and duchesSe
fiOunce valued at $50 per yard, two
costumes valued at $3.50 each, six camel
hair shawls ranging in price from 800
to $500, besides gOOdly number of seal
and silk Overgarments. All in all, it
is credit to st. Paul's leading dry
goods firm and source of pleasure to
the visitors to the State Fair

RICH AND ELEGANT

Is the Furniture Display of j. @.
Simonet, of 252 West Third
Street.
j. c. Simonet makes a display of
parlor furniture of Turkish design in
the east wing of the main hall, which is
in charge of Miss Tillie Simonet; and
aside from the fact that the goods are
rare and beautiful in the extreme is
the fact that there are just enough
pieces in the display to make it
appear elegant without reaching the
extreme of being "Over-furnished," as is
only too often the case with many of
our most fashionable drawing rooms. A
divan of Turkish valOre, Turkish
lounge, and several silk-plush chairs
are among the most attractive pieces.
Mr.. SimOnet is the only manufactures
of furniture who has display in the
main hall.

everything was in readiness on the
other streets, and the programme was
carried out as previously announced.
At7:S0 o'clock Third street was closed

The arrangement of the display be-
speaks the care with which all this
firms goods are kept, and the quality
fully demonstrates the knowledge of the
business that comes only after long
years OF experience. Any one who will

st. Paul, will find that what constitutes
the elegant display at the fair are but
samples taken from the stock offered
every day to their patrons.

THE GOODYEAR RUBBER co.
Make Their Usual Large Display
of Staple and Fancy Rubber
Goods


Goods.
The Goodyear Rubber company are
so well known in st. Paul and the
Northwest, and for that matter in every
part of the United States, that to make
an extensive notice of their elaborate
and elegantly arranged display at the
east end of the main hall would
almost seem superfiuous. Every
one who knows anything about
rubber goods knows the Goodyear to
be far in the lead, and any one who
wants the best will take nothing else.
In fact, their reputation is so well built
that it would take any other company a
generation to attain the place in the
commercial world the Goodyear has
long held. The Northwestern repre-
sentative is Mr.. James Suydam, who
personally manages the store at Isl
East Third street, in st. Paul, and an
other at the corner of NicOllet avenue
and Second street in Minneapolis. The
display at the Fair, while large, only
partially contains samples Of the stocks

CONCERNING RUEiES.
Claim That the Gems Can BE Produced
by ArtifiC ial Means.

Golconda and similar places have
been famous for their precious gems,
but if the experiments of two Paris
chcmis' s-MM Frenzy and Vcrneuil
be universally initiated there is a
probability that those distant spots
will be outdone com plctely by jewel.
producing centers much nearer home.
NM Frenzy and Vcrneuil have inst
informed the Academy of Sciences
that they have succeeded thoroughly
in producing real rubies by artificial
means. They began their expert
menls about year ago, but the re-
suits obtained in March last were not
quite conclusive. Their crystals were
formed of pure aluminium. colored
with chromium or bi-chromate of
potash. and subjected them to q rigid
analysis. which showed that their crys-
taline form was regular, their trans
parency perfect and that, in fact.
the hardness and the brlliancy of real
rubes were combined in them. M.
Des Cloizeau. n well-known cho mist,
who examined the artificial rubies
with n microscope. declared that they
recalled vividly to him the natural
formation of the real minerals. The
artificial productions were also sub
jected 10 the test used fer proving din
monds. The chief value Of the latest
experiments made by NM. Frenzy end
Verneuil as distinguished from foriaer
ones. lies in the fact that tho veins in
which the rubics are imbeddcd are
porous, and the artificial gems are
easily detached from them, whereas
before the veins were hard and CLASSY,
retained the crystals, and made it al
most impossible TO purify them. The
cxperimentalists, having worked with
small apparatus in the laboratory of
the museum, were restricted, nat
urally, in their operations. but with
proper means of heating their ingre-
diens at their disposal, they expect to
effect still more important results.
! he largest Of the rubies shown by the
experimcntalists was about the size OF
