same as are taught in the common
schools. We were pleased to hear them
read, see them write, and witness boy
OF about sixteen solve a problem in
algebra with as much ease and dispatch
as any child who had been called upon
to solve a problem who had not been
previously informed what was expected
OF him. The music by the orchestra was
excellent. Two young ladies executed q
very difficult duet with the keys of the in
strument completely covered with thick
cloth. This was done to exemplity the
mechanical accuracy of the two operators.
Their writing is done by simply per-
forating the paper with the "blind pen,"
l shall call it, using a metal ruler pro-
vided for that purpose. The writer asked
the question, SLOW many OF the children
had a friend at home that could read
their writingY The teacher suggested
that all who had should rise. To our
surprise all but one in that particular
room did so. We saw the little fellows
come into the dining room and take their
seats at the table. We were in the chapel
when they took their places for morning
service, and to their credit we can truth
fully say there could be no more orderly,
polite children found in Kansas. In fact,
in many cases these children are from
the best families in the state. They
have an eleven years course of study,
besides the industrial pursuits. The
girls learn to do very excellent plain sew
ing, and also fancy lace, embroidery and
knitting that would puzzle the most
gifted. The boys learn broom-making
very readily. Some make excellent mu-
sicians. They also learn net and ham
mock making very readily. The greatest
need Of this institution at the present is
more room for the industrial trades,
They are crsmped up in small building
unsuited for their work. They are also
in need Of an apartment to be used as
play room, as they cannot run and romp
on the outside as other children. They
have no convenience Of this kind except
a very small room for the girls. If every
parent in the state could visit this in
Stitution and see the grand work done,
and possibilities of the future, l am sure
all it's necessities would be supplied.
son Friday, March II, we visited the
STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
The buildings are plain but substan-
tisl. The experiments made here no
doubt are Of very great value to the ag.
class. If the legislature and
farmers of the state could visit this in
Stitution more generally they could de-
eide as to the benefits to be derived and
Improvements necessary. When an sp-
Of 100000 is asked for pub
lie building, there should be ample
evidence that room is actually needed,
and all available room occupied, other
wise the taxpayer has right to call q
halt. While the board Of public works
have their we'll defined duty to perform,
yet we feel it an obligation we owe to
the state to call attention to any peculiar
feature that might come under our OBJ

THE WORLDS FAIR

The opening of the Columbian expo
sition, which is to take place in Chicago
tomorrow, will mark a notable epoch
in the history of this great nation.
Though young in comparison with
some of the other nations of the world,
the Worlds fair will prove to demon
stration the fact that in the arts and
sciences, and all the multiplied ele
ments of civilization, the people of the
United States are fully abreast OF the
worlds progress and need not blush t
be put in comparison with the highes
developments of any other nation
With nothing but dangers and dim
culties to face them, the people wh'
sought the land discovered by Column
bus carried within their loins pos
terity which, within the brief span o
four centuries, has solved the problems
incident to an entirely new environ
ment, and with boundless courage an6
consummate skill and energy, ha
succeeded in constructing govern
ment and developing nation which !
at once the ideal of humanity ant
glory of the whole race-a government
of the people. for the people, and b.
the people. While patriotism is
virtue not lacking in the hearts Q
Americans, nevertheless, the great ex
position will at once command tn
admiration of all foreigners and in
tensify the loyalty of all true Amerl
cans for their native land.

1t was the intention of the HERALD
to publish an eight-page edition of the
paper today with special Worlds fair
matter, but owing to failure in secur-
ing the required material from "syndi-
cate" headquarters the additional two
pages have been delayed until a later
issue. AS it is, the two pages Of extra
reading matter will be found to contain
a larger amount of news and original
articles than we have been able to pre-
sent to our readers heretofore in the
Sundays issue. Approaching the
effort of the HERALD to give better
paper than usual, in view of the great
event to happen in Chicago tomorrow,
and which is of interest to the entire
country, the merchants of the Bay
cities have been liberal in their adver'
Using patronage, a fact which should
be noted to the credit of the advertiser:
by their numerous patrons.

position at Chicago. The estimate has
been made that Americans are accus-
toned to spend about $lOO,OOO,OOO an
nually travelling in the various coun-
tries of Europe. We are the most x
travagant sight-seers in the world. The
people of the .old world expend COM
paratively little ia that way in Amerl-
ca. This year, on account of the ex-
position, we have the matter to great
extent reversed. Our own people VIII
stay at home, and ever civilized coun-
try will send us of their citizens, and 1t
would seem reasonable to suppose that
during this extraordinary year we
should receive from them as much as
we are accustomed to expend under
only ordinary circumstances. This mas
no reference to the enormous amounts
being expended upon foreign exhibits
| and exhibition buildings of various
kinds, including in the way of archi-
lecture and expense everything from
the great Turkish mosque to the rude
howell of the Esquimaux. Take all IN
all we will this year draw heavily upon
the cash of other countries, and 1t Will
require the happening of some unfor'
seen event of great proportions to pre-
vent this being a good year for the PEG
pie of the United States.
As to how we will be affected in thu
, state is quite as clear, although 1t
I not quite SO sure that our greatest bene
. fits will follow 50 Immediately as in tn
: East. The wise measures taken D.
D those having the matter in charg
: have made certain the fact that w
: will have more than a good exhibit
l we will have great one. A direct re
5 suit will be that thousands will wan
: to see the state which can show sucl
l unexcelled resources, and the gratifica
5 ton of that wish will bring both pee
: pie and money to the state. This, G
$ course, will to some extent be immt
diately offset by the expenditure
t which will be made by the thousand
y of our own people who will visit tn
exposition. The more remote, but ia
u greater and more substantial benefit
: which we will receive will arise out
e increased markets for our production
L and the gradual incoming of Poop
+ which will go on from year to year 4
the result of our great advertisement
We may well congratulate ourselv'
upon the fact that we have most SUI
stantial and valuable interest in tn
greatest show in the world"

BY THE LAKESIDE

So calm, serene, the sapphire water waste
That stretched away to meet the sloping
hills
All draped in misty azure folds. Glad trills
swelled on the spring-tide air. Most quaint
ly laced
We're tlmid vines, that chung and gently
traced
Their happy paths across the huge old breast
or moss-clad logs, long since laid down to
rest,
Beside the laughing rlvulets that raced.
Spring beauties lifted modest little eyes
And family blushed meath ardor Of bright
skies;
The tender leaves, wooed forth by April
rains,
Breathed out rare fragrance on the balmy
wind;
All nature sang In glad, triumphant strains
That winters gloom no more depressed her
mind.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

For the past few months this country
has been apparently on the verge of
financial panic, arising out of the daily
announcements of the unusual ship
ments of gold to Europe. tits probable
that the appearances have been more
sensational than real, but It is true,
nevertheless. that appearances which
shake the faith of people or destroy
their confidence in the stability of the
finances, or financial policy of a gov
eminent, have strong tendency to.
ward preventing investments and EN-.
couraging limited circulation. The
existence Of these facts, added to mil
lions being shipped to Europe, has
aroused the financiers to a consideration
of adequate means Of checking the
heavy drain upon the public treasury
1t now seems probable that the course
taken by the bankers will have the de
sired result and restore the shaken con
fidence. The banks all over the coun
try are coming to the assistance Of thu
United States treasurer and are ex
changing one-half Of their gold reserve
for treasury notes, for the purpose o
preserving the gold reserve Of the treas
ury. 1t is thought that this exchang
will relieve the administration unit
adequate and effective legislation cal
be had on the silver question, tn
theory being that that complicate'
subject il at the bottom Of the who'll
difficulty, and when such action cal
be had as will establish and maintain
lust relation between gold and silver
the trouble will cease. At all events
there is great cheer in the fact tina
effective measures, are being taken :
stop the expectation Of gold.
There is another feature Of our pres
emit situation which will most favorabi.
affect the financial condition. 1t Is .

The decision of Mr.. Lamereaux,
commissioner Of the general land office,
which was filed in the local office at
Seattle yesterday, will create some
CONSERVATION among certain class OF
people holding entries Of public lands.
BY the decision seven pre-emption cash
entries are held for cancellation on the
grounds that the entries were fraudu-
lent and made for purposes Of specula-
ton only. The seven entries which are
to be cancelled after proofs and pay
ment have been made are all in What
com county, near the south end OF
Lake whatcom, in township 81 north,
range east. This is result Of the
ruling made by Commissioner Sparks

On Friday, while the school children
of Fairhaven were engaged in the de-
lightful occupation of planting rose
bushes and flowers, a very beautiful
and interesting scene was being en-
acted in the city of Indianapolis. The
historic liberty bell arrived in that city
on its journey to the Chicago exposi-
ton, and was there met by process
sion of $4,000 school children, each of
whom carried an American flag. The
old bell was escorted to a hall secured
for that purpose, where exercises APP
propriate to the occasion were held.
The great audience of children was adj
dressed by ex-President Harrison, after
which the old bell was escorted back to
its car. 1t will be one Of the great sights
at the fair, on account of its histori,
associations, but probably there will b'
no more beautiful sight during the en-
tire exposition than the army of chill
dren which met the Independence bel
last Friday oil its journey to Chicago.

time much indignation, because his
charge of fraudulent entries was
thought to be unfounded. The inves-
legations, however, have resulted in his
exonoration in at least the seven en-
tries mentioned.
