Alabama Gives No Money to Worlds
Fair,

The bill which has passed the Alabama
senate, making an appropriation of $25, :
600 for a proper representation of that
State at the Worlds Fair, was smothered
in the House during the last hours of the
session. A remembrance of the late force
bill seemed to influence the Legislators in
their adverse action. The Montgomery
Advertiser dcplores the failure of the
Legislature to make an appropriation,
and expresses qualification that there are
yet Alabamians possessing sufficient en-
terprisc and rsightcdness to move in
the matter. A movement has already bceu
put on foot, with active men in the lead,
to have a State convention to devise ways
fnd means for promoting an exhibit for
the State of Alabama at the Worlds Fair.
1t is believed that the movement will sue
cecd and that Alabama will make cred

Making note of the vast sums spent
for upholstery and decorations which
add nothing to the comfort Of railroad
cars, the Railroad Gasette expresses sur
prise that so little progress has been
recorded in the lighting of trains by
electricity. However, beginning has
been made in this direction and the kero-
sene lamp will by and by go to the same
limbo with the coal stove. Then . de-
railment will not necessarily imply q
roasting of the passengers who escape
being crushed to death.

A Colored Millionaire Dead.

The Arkansaw Traveler's Land.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Especial. ]-Prof
John c. Branncr, the State geologist of
Arkansas and the head of the recent &c
ologic survey in the State, tells the Kan
sas City Star of some of the undevelop-
cd and neglected resources between the
Ozarks and Texas: "The recent survey
disclosed the fact that coal, marble and
zinc exists in enormous quantities in the
northwestern part of the State, while
marble, sandstone, manganese, glass, sand
and limestone abound in the northeast
quarter. Some Brown coal and pottcr's
clay are found near the low portion of
the State, in the southeast quarter In
the southwest kaolin, antimopy, whct-
stone, some brown coal and chalk, said
to be the first to be discovered in the
United States, are tho mineral produc-
tions. None of these vast provisions of
. nature have been advertised, ana un-
til recently very little has been done to-
ward developing them. The general i'm
preston about Arkansas has been that
the State contained Hot Springs, Little
Rock and II vast area of swamp lands,
while it is really one of the richest States
in the Union. There are but five of the
33 million acres of land in cultivation
| 10 million acres Of fine timber remain un.
| touched, as well as the vast mineral de
| posts, and, in fact, Arkansas offers |;
better and more diversified field than
any State in the Union" Prof Branncr
believes that his State is on the eve of an
era of rapid progress and development,
and soon take her place among the great
| er States, W hose inducements have been
hcradcd to the world, and attracted the
attention OF multitudcs of people and
millions of money to settle upon the un-
claimed lands, build great cities and
utilize the things that are under the earth.
| The forces are already at work, and Prof
| Branncr believes that the future of Ar.
kansas is assured.
