An Effort to Garry all the School Chill.
dren to the Atlanta Exposition.

ATLANTA. Ga, Aug 12. "A scheme
to bring all the school children above
the grade Of grammar schools to the
Cotton States and International Exposi
ton, was set on foot to day. There are
half million boys and girls in the Sem
inaries, high schools and academies Of
the Sout ern States, and it is estimated
that fifty per cent. can be brought here.
Dr. Chas. W. Dabney, Jr., chairman of
the Government Board, holds that this
is the greatest educational opportunity
of the generation, and that the
government exhibit alone, when properly
studied will be better than school term.
Principals of academies, seminarles and
colleges complain that their schools will
be demoralized by the exposition this fall
and to meet the case an organized effort
will be made to get all such institutions
to give one weeks vacation and bring
their pupils in body to the exposition.
A number of schools have already deci-
ded to do this.

JUSTICE JACKSoN's FUNERAL.
He is Laid TO Rest at Belle Meade, the
Famous Home of his Brother.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 12.-The
funeral of Justice Howell Edmund Jack
son occurred to-day at Belle Meade, the
famous home of his brother, Gen. W. H.
Jackson, six miles west of this city, in
the presence of many distinguished men
from distance and very large con-
course of personal friends.
The services were conducted by Rev.
J. Fl. McNielly, of the Presbyterian
Church, and Rev. r. Lin Cave, of the
Christian Church. A special train went
out to Belle Meade at 10 o'clock. The
handsome casket was placed in the wide
hall of the historic mansion, and about it
were grouped the Governor and all
State officials of Tennessee, the clerks
and employees of the local Federal courts,
while without on the lawn and moving
silently in and out of the front door
were hundreds of peple. The rooms ad.
jacent to the front hall were filed most
ly with ladies. In small room, some
what apart from the Others, stood Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer of the
.. s. Supreme Court. With them were
the pail bearers and ministers and Judge
Chas. NJ Blanchford, of Lynchburg, Va,
an old classmate of Jackson.
At 1890 o'clock the pail bearers,
Chancellor Malone, Judge Blachford,
Judge Charles E. Fenner, of New Or
leans; Judge McAllister, ex Solicitor
General Lawrence Maxwell, Judge Snod-
grass, Judge Dickinson and H. D..
Doake passed in the hall and took seats
beside the casket. Justices Fuller and
Brewer sat at the head and Gen. W. h.
Jackson with the widow of the deceased
and members of both families sitting at
the foot.
Magnificent designs in flowers were
placed on and near the casket around
the silver plate, which was engraved
simply 'Justice Howell Edmund Jack
son." with date of birth and death.
From a distant room a choir of the
choice singers of Tennessee sang "Asleep
in Jesus" Near the ministers sat Rev.
J. D. Barbee. of the Methodist Church,
and Rev. Father Gleason, Vicar General
Of the Catholic Church. Rev. Father
Cave read from Psalms the lesson be-
ginning "Thou hast been a dwelling
place in all generations before the noun
tains were brought forth, and ending
"Man is like the grass that grows in the
morning and in the evening is cut down
and withereth."
At the end of the lesson Mr.. Gave
offered fervent prayer.
Mr.. Cave then read second lesson
from the First Epistle to the Thessalo-
mans, beginning "If ye believe that
Jesus died, saying he had selected this
text as an especial comfort to the be-
reaved family. Mr.. McNeilly read two
brief selections, the first one beginning
"Lord who shall abide in this taber-
nacIe," and the second one an answer.
The choir sang softly and procession
was formed. Gently the casket was
borne from the house across the lawn, a
hundred yards and placed in the family
vault
