FRUITS AND FLOWERS.
One of the most beautiful and instructive cor
ners in the whole Palace is that occupied by
Mrs. E. P. Lingenfelters exhibition of fruits and
flowers made of Dish scales Words are not ex-
pressive enough to describe this beautiful col
lection of fruits and flowers; it is beautiful be-
yond description, and what is more 1t is purely
Texan.
SILK AND COFFEE.
In cabinet in the upper story will be seen
new and money making industry Of Texas. This
is the okra seed. Here it is displayed. parched
and ground, ready 20 be used to make coffee.
Here will also be noticed silk and silk cocoonS.
There are g num5er of beautiful and realistic
scenes PORTRAYED around the second story OF the
building at which the visitor viii stop and ad-
mire, but space will not allow q full description
of them. perhaps the most beautiful of these is
the ''Parior scene" s'the Temple OF Jupiter"
Corpus Christi Church. and churchyard made
OF sea shells and smoking room.
MAP OF TEXAS.
In the second story opposite the band stand is
a magnificent mosaic map of Texas made OF
minerals and products of the earth. This is one
of the most beautiful and grandest productions
OF the whole Palace, and reflects great credit on
the originator. The different counties are
marked out, made OF different colors and are
composed OF fruit, grain, mineral, wood, or
whatever the county is especially
noted for. The towns aad railroad lines are all
marked out perfectly. and while there are
no names on the map one can locate every
county and town on it by the products seen
there. Taking it all in all this exhibition will
do Isore for the state of Texas than dozen
state fairs, SIS its brings people to Fort Worth
from the North and East who would not think of
visiting state fair. The novelty OF the thing
is what draws them. 1t will make
= lasting impression on the inveSti-
gntor Ter is there not to be
seen here more undeveIoped wealth in
the shape OF timber, mineral and cheap lands
close to Fort Worth which when developed will
make this city city of 500, 900 people in ten
years. This exhibition shows and proves to the
world what . great stata Texas is and how
varied are her resources, and to the thinking
man it will make him firm believer in the
future greatness OF Fort Worth. For he will
say to himself, will not this city be the great city
OF this great state; is she not the railroad center
and does she not hold the key to Texas that
Kansas City does to Kansas, and is not Texas
the greater state? As q natural result Fort
Worth viii be city of 1850, 0oo people in less than
ten years.
Too much credit cannot be given the good
ladies' Of Fort Worth for the assistance they rem
deted in the decoration of this Palace.
