LOUISVILLE, KY, May S.-Three ia
vorites and two ll-backed second choices
captured the events at Churchill Downs
this afternoon, and the bookies suffered in
consequence. The track was lightning
fast, as the time made by ST. Maxim and
Ben Elder will attest. In the Louisville
Hotel handicap at a mile they were sent
away to good start with Satsuma in the
lead, Henry Young second and st. Maxim
third.
The st. Blaise colt assumed command
at the quarter and led all the way, winning
easily. Henry Young was whipped out to
beat Satsuma for the place. Ben Elder had
little difficulty in disposing of his field in
the last race, but Graham, on May Pinker-
ton, went to sleep and Reward nipped him
at the wire for the place.

tistics, however, to back up much that
he said, and among them these: In
1880 Alabama produced but III, 1870
tons Of iron ore, and in 1890, 1870, 319
tons. In the former year she turned out
n, 900 tons of pig iron and 925, 600
tons in 1890. The subsequent increase
has been SO rapid that she now produces
more ore and iron than any other south
ern state and is only surpassed by two
in the Union. The average cost of min
ing ore in Alabama is So cents per ton,
while in Pennsylvania it is said to be
81. 10, in Michigan $2.o7 and for the
whole United States $1.71. In the main
mineral district of the state are this
month 40 coke furnaces, 16 charcoal
furnaces, 10 rolling mills, pipe works
and car works, and what the district
now badly needs is a variety of small
establishments to work up iron into the
numberless small utensils and conven-
fences.
The other states, SO far as they have
had their days at the exposition, have
done their prettiest, and Tennessee calls
especial attention to the fact that she is
to have her own exposition next year,
the centennial of the states admission
20 the Union.
Of course everybody who comes to the
fair takes in the Midway, and the popu-
lar verdict is that few of the shows
are SO bad that they are good. It is alsC
mine. They deserve mention and pa
tronage for their pure recklessness and
barefaced fraud The forty miner min
ing camp is not in the Midway proper,
and doubt if it possesses a single fea-
ture truly representative of early Cali
fornia. But it does contain some inter
esting relics, and the songs, dances and
plays are without parallels. A Juliet on
a stool for balcony, a Romeo in min
er's costume, a Desdemona smothered
with big dishrag, stage robbers who
talk all the time they are robbing and
desperadoes who pull pistols at every
pportunity-well, California may have
had such things in some out of the way
place, but no chronicler has mentioned
it. For artistic violation of every known
law of art, literature and the drama and
for perversion of the truth of history
this place deserves medal.
The other Midway shows are much
as at Chicago. but some of them are far
better. J. B. PARKE.

One does not have to go far in this
latitude to find man ready and able to
exitlt the horn OF his own state. As
successive state delegations have come
IL and made the big auditorium of the
exposition roar with speeches and ap-
pause it has seemed to me that each
one strove to Guido all its predecessors.
Having heard many of them, my YER
dict is that Alabama has taken the cake.
One of her spokesman perpetrated few
remarks, of which the following are
specimen sentences:
God made Alabama a fine state.
He put greater variety Of good things
in the ground there than almost any
where else. He gave her the most agree
able climate, the greatest abundance Of
cooling springs and wholesome waters.
Her northern zone, the fertile valley Of
the Tennessee, has been pronounced by
many the garden spot of the south Ala
bama has a richly endowed state uni
versity, handsomely equipped agricul-
tural and mechanical college, many
other institutions for the higher educa-
ton, five normal colleges and a first
class public school system. There are in
the state over 200 newspapers, of which
II are daiies. Taxes are the lowest in
the Union, and man can get any kind
of politics he wants, from high church
Republican goldbug to fat money and
farm produce currency. What can a
man do i'll Alabama to make a living?
Why, he can do nothing for that matter
and make living. There is no record
of any enc ever having starved in the
state. There is good money waiting for
an industrious man in anything. Nearly
half the area of the state is still in
timber. Come and go with US, and we
viii do thee good, for surely the Lord
hath spoken good concerning Israel If
you are tired of six months winters,
come, and when you first cast eyes on
the Tennessee valley you will feel as
the Indians did when they named the
state and shouted: 'Alabamai Ala
bama!' meaning Here is our rest. p"

for quantity. He presented official sta

Why Georgians Are Proud of Their
State.
ATLANTA CORRESPONDENT RECITES

Some ofthe Good Points of the Cracker
State-sOms of Abraham Also Are
Quite Well Satisfied With Their
Commonwealth.
Georgia was long ago named the Mas
Eachusetts Of the south, but did not take
kindly to the compliment. MaEsachu-
setts was not loved in the south in those
days. It is fact, however, that Georgia
has sent to the states west of her more
teachers, writers, engineers and success
full business men than any other three of
the far southern states and more than any
two of the older states, emitting Vir-
ginia. 1t may interest some people even
now to hear a fact of which their To-
caIity is proud-that John H. Gregory
and party, who made the first gold dis
coveries in Colorado, went from the
Dahlonega district of Georgia. And it
goes without saying that Georgians con-
slider their public men just little ahead
Of those of any other state, and are es-
peciaIly proud of their long list of tai
s.tcd governors, from Oglethorpe to
tkinson. Incidentally they mention

place of Methodism and on Tybee point
with pride to the rock where John Wes-
ley first ses foot in the new world.
Georgia is probably the best state in
the Union for the study of climate and
its effects on mankind. Beginning at
tidewater the rise is at first gradual,
then more and more rapid to an eleva-
ton averaging near 1900 feet, and as
800 feet in altitude are equal to de-
gree of latitude, it is much the same as
if the state reached to central Ohio. The
geology Of the northwestern third of the
state, as 1 find it depicted in great maps

by specimens, is, if L may SO express it,

TIE terrible tragedy SO recently en-
acted in this county in which young
and harmless boy lost his life at the hands
of a dastardly ruffian, whose only reason
for the act was the possession of a few
dollars worth of property suggests the
thought that something should be done
to prevent such occurrences. All means
of treating such cases now III vogue have
been tried for hundreds of years and
with no better success in the past than
in the present. When murders for the
purpose of robbery are committed the
perpetrator is caught if possible. Some
times he is seized at once and put to
death by al outraged community; some
timee he is tried in the courts, convicte ed
and hanged; some times he is imprisoned
for life and some times, oftener than
otherwise perhaps. he escapes punish
ment entirely. Whatever the result it
does not bring back to life the victim; it
does not fill the vacant place in the fam
lily circle and it is doubtful if it deters
others from committing similar crimes
Hence it seems that something new
should be devised; something in the way
of prevention, something in the way of
removing some of the Incentives to muir
der and robbery. With all our wisdom
and experience of the past is it possible
that we can do no better than has been
done in the centuries gone by? Many
good suggestions have been made in
connection with this matter, but no or
ganized effort is made to put them in
practice, There is too much of treating
evils from the surface instead of going
to the roots. Why don't we bring up
men so that they do not want TO commit
murder?

THE BIVALVE SEASON.
If Properly Cultivated, Oysters Would Be
Within the Roach of the Poorest.

If Properly Cultivated, Oysters Would Be
Within the Reach of the Poorest.
RosToN, Oct. &c The oyster is not
IN its prime until October, and epienres
wait until they have picked up after
the spawning season, before indu1ging
in their daily meal of this favorite
Dhellfsh. But, widespread as is the use
Of oysters as food, it is remarkable how
few persons know anything about their
culture or cultivation, except that they
are found on the oyster beds of the At
1antic and Pacific seaboard.
It will be much more interesting to
tell my readers of some of the curious
devices that are used for raising oysters,
and it will be news to them that some
of the best oysters in the world are real
" grown upon trees. I do not mean that
those trees grow on the land, in woods
and forests. They consist of small trees
or branches placed in the water, upon
which the oyster spat affixes itself after
it has been fertilized on the surface of
the water. In many of the estuaries of
the Connecticut rivers where the bot
toms are muddy and unfit for oyster
culture--this plan is adopted for col
Letting spst, and a good many of the
young oysters thus collected find their
way, as yearlings, to the Pacific coast,
where they are sown in the beds of San
Francisco bay. And it is not inapropos
to explain here that it is very easy to
discover whether an oyster has been
transplanted or grew where it is found,
Tor oysters have not the power of at
taching or fixing themselves a second
time.
But to return to the subject of grow
ing oysters upon trees I shall best ex-
plain this economic plan by telling of
the great oyster farms of Fusaro and
laramie, in Italy, where, because of the
muddy and unwholesome conditions of
the bottoms of the lakes, it was neces-
sary to adopt some other method than
that Of making a bed, as is the case in
all the oyster grounds, natural or arti-
fetal, in our waters. This Italian plan
consists roughly of four corner posts, a
web of ropes, branches of trees and va
rious suspended devices for collecting
oysters and growing, fattening and stor-
ing them. The corner posts are about 20
feet long, and the ropes forming a net
work between them must be strong
enough to support the weight Of the col
lecting devices, etc. The collectors con-
sist of loose bundles of hazel and gorse
branches. These are called facines, and
when covered with young oysters are
broken into twigs and tied together in
long string, which, when again sus-
pended in the water, utilize the water
volume and give the young oyster full
liberty to obtain the best nourishment.
In addition to the facines, or branches,
several wire baskets are also suspended
from the ropes, and any oysters that be-
