The EXPOSE. TON.

The sweek Just closed was the best
the Minneapolis Exposition has ever
witnessed. Thousands OF people
thronged the big building FROM early
morning until che lights were extin-
guished at midnight. The happy feat
IRE of these Sightseeing visitors was
that many Of them were TO be seen
there more than once. At times dur
ing the evenings the spacious edltce
was filled TO OVERLOOKING, aud nothing
but praises for the exposition manage.
n,ent were heard On all sides, Tbs
electric tower was the great centre OF
attraction inside the building while the
Last DAYS Of PonGpeii attracted thous.
auds outside. Every eight during tbs
week every chair in the vast amphi-
theatre was occupied, and even the
aisles were taken up. 1t was q splen~
did tribute of appreciation Of Manager
tsegan's work and he must feel proud
of it. The art gallery was we'll patron
lied with admirers of the beautiful.
Eastern visitors all said that it was one
of the finest they ever saw. Compli.
mentary illusions were heard on all
sides on the refined productions of the
Minneapolis School Of Fine Arts. Iha
electric exhibits were much admired
nv the lovers Of the new motive power,
while the displays Of the different local
firms were everything that iDe and cul-
tured hands could make them. The at
tendance so far has exceeded that Of
any previous wear, not excepting the
first wear which showed a remarkably
large attendance. The secret OF the
whole thing is that the exposition this
year is the best that has ever been held
here. and the people know that. plsl
tors from the Eastern states who saw
the Edison tower with its thousands OF
yariegated lights iEsNew York city, say
that the Edison exhibit is far superior
to ANYTHING attempted in New York;
that the electric light cover Is much
higher and carries. more lights than the
New 7 DIRK one. Crowds througed the
third floor where the band Of music was
in session ard manifested their appre-
citation of good music whenever an op
portunlty presented itself, Taken al
together the exposition management
must feel proud Of the result OF their
Iab0rs.

H;qher Esucation Of Women.

But the higher education OF women, as 1t
is called. is already here. The experiment,
If so we may term it, is now going on in
many places, and on a scale Of great mag
piturIe. 1t is settled for the time being, at
least. that their education is to be substan-
italy the sane as that Of young men.
They are receiving 40 quarter in the lists,
but are boldly competing with their
brothers for the prize OF scholarship and
intellectual supremacy. Alitold, there are
today thousands Of girls under collegiate
instruction and conten6ing Tor scholastic
degrees. and statistics show that they are
strong in the battle.
1t used to be prophesied that women
would lose the {ovehest qualities Of woman
hood in the strife and pursuit; but the
event has proved that such baleful predlc-
lions were without justification. OF course
ft is so. Whether women compete with
men in trade and industry, in public life,
In platform debate, or in the realm of
knowledge and learning, they retain and
never lose. or impair the charm and the
power of their womanhood. The more
they can do and know, the more attractive
they become to men and the more they
dominate their affections.
The only danger Is that they viii be
driven too hard because of their willing
ness, their spirit Of emulation, and their
eonscientiousness. They are 50 eager to
get ahead and to escape from old time con-
Fentional restraints that they need rather
10 be curbed than spurred. They viii win
the race more surely if they make an easy
start-New York san
