for st. Louis. The site for the fair, be said,
was TO be chosen upon sound reasons. If
missionary education was the object. Chi
cago was the place. In q historical COM
memorstion like this, he wanted no political
manager to locate the site according to what
he thought were proper considerations.
Chicago Wed with New York in political
animus, supplemented by sordid mercenary
aims.
st. Louis offered the advantages of loca-
ton and was accessible to the greatest num-
Der of citizens of the United States and the
Southern Republics. Foreign goods could
be unloaded on the levees of New Orleans
with less confusion than at New York. st.
Louis, in a spirit of lofty ambition, asked
Congress to award her the fair. Her hospi-
tslity was known the world over; her eli
mate was excellent; she would bid the world
welcome to a nursery of virtue, not morass
of vice.
Mr.. Niedringhaus, of Missouri, extolled
the talents OF the business men Of st. Louis.
He said that he had there been able to start
and carry on business that had not an
equal in the world. Mr.. Breckinridge, OF
Arkansas, followed in the same line, touch
ing upon the transportation facilities afforded
BY the Mississippi river, with its tributaries,
and the great railway systems.
THE CLAIMS OF WASHINGTON.
Mr.. McComas, of Maryland, was for an
exposition wherever it was to be held. But
it was historically fitting that the Exposi
tion should be held here IN Washington, in
the District bearing the name Of the discov-
erer of the continent. He invoked the mem
bers TO seek some higher motive and broader
ground than locality. He appealed to the
friends of Chicago, New York and st. Louis
to come together in peace here, on national
ground.
Messrs. Lee, of Virginia; Coleman, OF
Louisiana; Compton and Stockbridge, Of
Maryland, also spoke in favor of Washing
ton, and then the House adjourned until to-
morrow. The proposed night session was
abandoned.

NEW YORK, February 2O.-At the Edu-
cational Conference here to-day q resolution
was introduced by ex-President William F.
Sheldon declaring that the association re-
garded the public school system as the chief
source OF civilization and the bulwalk Of
civil and religious liberty. That they ap-
proved of placing the American flag over
schoolhouses and recommended the study of
the Declaration of Independence and other
historical American papers. That they
could meet hostile criticism and make the
public schools the allies of home, and be-
come sources of the highest moral instruc-
ton without any sectarian bias. The men,
bers pledged themselves to do all in their
power TO establish the system in all sections
of the Republic and make intelligence and
loyalty blessing.
The resolution was passed unanimously.

COAL MEN In CONFERENCE.

The AdvIsabITlty Of Forming an Agreement
With Ore Dealers Discussed.
CHICAGO, February 2O.-A number of
we'll known coal men met at the Grand
Pacific to-day to confer concerning Lake
Superior transportation sales. A. G. Gates,
of Rochester, n. Y, presided. They dis
cussed the advisability of forming some sort
of an agreement with the iron and copper
ore dealers so that boats might come from
Lake Superior to Chicago laden with ore
and return with coal.
Most of the coal dealers were of the opin-
ion that money could be saved by unloading
in Chicago and shipping on the lake to ali
Lake Superior points. A proposition will
undoubtedlY be made to the ore men.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.

did not approve of my mothers idea
of taking city boarders; still, as she said,
as there were only two of them, it would
not make much difference in our home
life.
They were an aunt Mrs. Morton, and
her niece, Miss Emily Ives, and strange
contrast they made in both appearance
and demeanor Miss Ives was shrouded
in the deepest Of mourning costumes,
and heavy black Grape veil completely
concealed her features. She was not
widow That | knew, because in writ
ing to engage the rooms Mrs. Morton
had called her niece Miss and had
furthermore added that she had sustained
the loss of a friend which had thrown
her into state of almost hopeless mel
ancholia: that Mrs. Morton's object in
seeking a country place so far from New
York as the Genesee valley was in the
hope of effecting aD entire change of
scene and thought for her afflicted niece.
Mrs. Morton joined us at our little rus
tic board, but Miss Ives took her meals
in her room, refusing to cross the sill of
her door.
My curiosity was piqued.
SIS she ill., inquired of mother one
day.
''Oh, no, said mother, ''she is in per-
feet health: but when Mrs. Morton urges
her to come out with her and see the
beautiful scenery, she says that the sight
OF nature, no matter how lovely, is hate
full to her.
Mrs. Morton says that, unless some
thing is done to arouse Miss Ives from
her lethargy, she is afraid that she will
go melancholy mad-and, Godfrey, I've
been thinking that you may be able to
do something to arouse her
81 mother!" | exclaimed. starting.
what could possibly do to arouse
her, as you cali it?'
My mother replied to my question:
What could you do? why, you could
play and sing"
This was startling proposition, even
thought was conceded to be the best mu-
stefan and to have the finest tenor voice
in all the Genesee valley
But, mother | said, chow can |,
VIM AOC1IAlI9 ONtC oil dUOO
country pumpkin, sing before an accom-
plished musician, as am sure Miss Ives
must be-"
Before she sank into this dull and
dreadful state of dependency. Miss Ives
was passionately fond of music-espe-
cially sacred music, but she will never
listen to a note now if she can help it.
Mrs. Morton and have talked it all over;
| told her that you have the kind of a
sympathetic voice that would melt the
heart of a stone, and she is very anxious
that you should try the experiment.
81 don't ask you to sing before her;
but this afternoon Mrs. Morton and are
going out. When we are gone, you sit
down to the piano and sing some Of those
touching things you know SO well how to
sing"
When the ladies were well out of the
way | sat down to the piano, and very
softly began singing some quaint, old
fashioned and plaintive hymns Between
each one paused awhile, fully expecting
a peremptory message from Miss Ives
for me to STOP None came. and after a
