with the evident care and though,
displayed in making the best possible
effect with the means in hand. While
New York has a most extensive
exhibit, it is confined largely to one
or two agricultural products, in which
they exceed US in number as to the
specimens, but do not exceed US to
variety or quality. After careful
examination of many other exhibits in
the Agricultural Building, we were
greatly impressed with the wisdom OF
the management in bringing out to
the fullest extent the variety and
value of our agricultural products IS.
We find the exhibit in the direct
charge of Mr.. J. A. Gill.
We also find a great many of the
articles represented in the agricultural
exhibit have been collected and care
fully arranged by DR.. H. B. Battle.
In addition to the various agricultural
products referred to which have been
collected by him, he makes also an
attractive exhibit Of various fertilizers
and the different soils found in our
State. In addition to the articles
mention ed are two stands of photo
graphs carefully prepared and labeled
under the direction of Professor
Holmes, representing some CT the
farms of our most successful farmer S
and many other views giving a lear
idea of the beautiful and attracti We
scenery of our State.
FORESTRY.
The display in the forestry exhibit
is situated on main aisle, lake front
occupying the form of an "L," about
1900 square feet. We find it under
the direct charge of Mr.. Frank Green
The space is surrounded by yellow
pine railing and handsomely finished
newell posts donated by Fogle Bros.
of Salem. in this exhibit we are
particularly struck with the practica
illustrations represented in the variou:
cases, eight in number. We find il
each case cross-sections of trees, with
enlarged photographs (about x :

they were taken, including all usefu

Some Chicago Attractions.

In Chicago there are many places
of attraction combining instruction as
we'll as amusement, and few of them
the GOLD LEAF would advise visitors
to the Worlds Fair to see by all
means. Chief among these we mention
the panoramas "The Chicago Fire."
s' Jerusalem and the Crucifxion,' and
''The Battle of Gettysburg" and XII
ralfy's great spectacular production
" America" as presented at the Audi
torium Theatre. The Chicago San
makes the following mention of these
splendid attractions
The superlatives used so literally
in describing American have done
but poor justice to that great stage en-
tertainment. The English language is
both elastic and expressive, but its re-
sources seem inadequate to describe the
beauties of Kiralfy's ineffa BILE spectacle.
Its success is overwhelming. The con-
gested condition of business at the Audi
torium has compelled the management
to institute an extra matinee day each
week. This arrangement will not cause
a decrease in the audiences at the other
performances of "America,'' but it
will permit thousands to see the great
spectacle who would be otherwise
barred from the privilege on account of
the tremendous demand for seats.
The "Chlcago Fire. has been vis-
tied by thousands during the Worlds
Fair season, and visitors to the city
have been astonished OF its magnifi-
cence.
The Battle of Gettysburg'' has
had large share of the visiting patron
age. Its fame is wide and few miss
the opportunity to see it.
The new cyclorama, "Jerusalem, =
has had wonderful success. Thousands
have seen it during the summer.

ance. The New York exhibit, which
is near, is an extremely interesting
one, and the specimens from scien-
tifc point are no doubt valuable ; but
our own exhibit, in dealing CONNER
cially with the forests growth of North
Carolina, has made such an exhibition

saloon basement and beaten into in
sensibility and robbed Of her pocket
book, containing less than two dol
lars. The woman was left for dead,
but managed to revive short while
later and crawled up to the street where
she told her story. The fend had in
the meantime escaped but was de-
tected from the description given by
Mrs. Bishop, boarding an outgoing
train. A colored man jumped on the
car and grabbing the criminal the two
fell to the ground. A crowd I'M
mediately surrounded the prisoner and
threats of lynching were loud and
frequent. Detective Capt. w. W..
Baldwin seized the man and holding
the crowd at bay with his revolver
started on horseback with the fright
ened negro behind him. He was ta-
ken to the place, where the woman
was removed, and she positively identi
fed him. He was then taken to Jail.
A crowd gathered around the Jail
and kept increasing as night ap-
preached. At S O'Clock the Roanoke
Light Infantry marched to the Jail by
orders of Mayor Trout. Guards were
posted and the streets in the immedi-
ate vicinity cleared. About dark the
crowd increased by a hundred men
from the vicinity of the woman's home
headed by Mrs. Bishops son, fireman
on the Norfolk & Western Railroad.
At 8 O'Clock portions of the mob
battered at side door of the Jail where
the militia and Mayor Trout had
retired. The shooting was commenced
by the mob and the Mayor was Shot in
the foot. The militia were then
ordered to return the fire, and a volley
from about twenty rifles was poured
into the mob. 1t is thought that
about five men were killed by this fire
and as many more wounded, some Of
them fatally. During the excitemen,
caused by the volley, the negro was
taken from the Jail by an officer and
secreted. The dead and wounded
were removed to drug store and &c
the offices of near by physicians. The
militia were then dispersed and lel'
the scene as quietly as possible.

T. K. Bruner, who deserves special
mention for his labors in behalf Of this
exhibit, as does also Professor Holmes
and H. B. c. Mite. The effect, as
seen by reference to the cut, is ex-
tremely pleasing, and the variety Of
minerals displayed is more numerous
than those found in any other State.
1t consists of about fifteen hundred
specimens of ore, minerals and gems,
the arrangement showing the geologi-
cal and geographical distribution of
the material throughout the State.
Beginning with gold ores, the free
milling ores, then the various sui
phurets and other refractory ones fol-
lowed, merging into silver, copper,
lead and zinc. Then the iron ores
were treated in the same way, leading
to economic minerals, such as mica,
corundum, garnet, kaolin, etc.
The gems comprise smoky and
citrine topaz and other quartz gems,
rarely tinted garnets, oligoclase, am
ethyst, the hiddenite and a number
of corundum gems, such as ruby, sap
phire, oriental emerald, topaz, etc
fifty specimens of granite, marble and
sandstone, suitable for building and
monumental purposes; also large
number of photographs 15x2I inches,
prepared by Professor Holmes. Near
our own exhibit is that of Pennsyl'

exhibit, confined almost exclusively to
coal and the various products OF the
coal-mines.

exhibited is second to none. We
believe, furthermore, that the examina-
tion of this exhibit when it is trans

that the younger people of our State
will be more deeply impressed than
heretofore with its wonderful and

NORTH CAROLINA AT CHICAGO
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

This State at the Worlds Columbian EXPOSITION

By resolution and instruction of the
Executive Committee of the Board of
Worlds Fair Managers, the following
members visited Chicago for the pur
pose OF examining the North Carolina
exhibits: DR.. W. R. Capehart, Avoca,

products, as cotton, corn, tobacco,
rice, peanuts, wheat, oats, peas, beans,
etc. The grains are arranged and
exhibited under glass, carefully labeled,
representing the grower, condition of
climate and soil, yield per acre, value
Of product, ETC. We have also in this
exhibit a quantity of fine tobacco,
representing such as is grown in the
Golden Belt of North Carolina. The
cotton seems to attract great deal of
attention the canned fruits are we'll

Of our timber lands that any one going
through the Forestry Building can not
but be deeply impressed with the un-
told timber wealth remaining in our
State. We find in addition to the va
rious samples indicated large num-
Der of beautifully finished specimens
of various woods loaned by the Rich
mond & Danville Railroad Company
from Western North Carolina (; and
while California's exhibit has number
of similar finished specimens, our own,
we believe, surpasses them, because
they apparently represent more nearly
the existing conditions as are found
from a commercial standpoint. A
table containing over 500 varieties Of
medical herbs and plants was secured
through the kindness of Messrs. Wal
lace Bros, Statesville, and a collective
exhibit Of the uses of pine oil as made
by the Spirittine Chemical Company,
Wilmington. In this connection the
management was greatly aided by the
following gentlemen Mr.. Clifford
Pinchot, Biltmore, N. c., and Mr..
w. w. Ashe, of Raleigh, N. c. Our
exhibit is of such a character that it
will, for years to come, represent in
our State Museum, as it does here, a
most useful commercial exhibit of
forest growth. We believe that our
State will receive the prize tor the
exhibit in the Forestry Division.
We can not leave the Forestry
Building without reference to the
display which was made by Mr..
Vanderbilt for his forestry estate at
Biltmore. We find in this exhibit
maps representing his entire property,
numerous photographs representing
the forest as he finds it, and many
other illustrations indicating the prob
able future usefulness and value of his
estate. This exhibit in itself tar sur.
passes many others, and should
interest lumbermen from the North
and Northwest in our forests.
FISH AND FISHERIES.
This exhibit is in charge of Mr.. H
H. Brimley, an accomplished natural
ist. The space of 1900 square fee,
floor space is located on main aisle
entrance to the colonnade leading tc
the United States Government Aqua
rum, adjoining exhibits of Minnesota
Rhode Island, Washington, Holland
and Japan. The space is surrounded
by brass anchors connected by plush
ropes, while overhead and on the
tables are arranged numerous nets
and fishing traps procured through
the kindness of DR.. Capehart.
We find in this exhibit large unm

which is used by the fishermen on the
coast. Near this hut are palmetto
trees, and at their base hanging moss
and numerous oyster, clam, and other
shells. Another attractive feature is
the diamond back terrapin, represent
ing the fact that they can be success
fully and pro6tably grown on our
Eastern coast. Several other exhibits
are much more elaborately and expen-
sively arranged, as Norway, Canada,
and Japan, and in some of them we
were greatly impressed with the num-
ber of canned goods, a feature which
was omitted in our own because Of the
inability Of the management to secure
the exhibit from the manufacturers Of
canned goods in our State. We hope
yet to see the deficiency remedied.
Our conclusion is, we surpass all
State exhibits, and among all the
exhibits in the building we surpass all
in the variety and arrangement of our
display, except, possibly Japan, Canada
and Norway.
HORTICULTURE.
The smallest of all the exhibits is
found in the Horticultural Building,
and consists of a case of native wines,

ment from the following parties !.
