play of beautiful articles. From Milan
are hundreds of kinds of ornaments and
decorations, from Venice a complete
exhibit Of the Venetian glassware, and
from elsewhere ceramics, Florentine
mosaics, tortoise shell and ivory goods,
embroideries and laces, and long array
of statuettes of every size, design and
material. IN the educational section are
many interesting specimens Of school
work from every part of the country.
In the Electricity building Indiana
appears to lead. The Fcrt Wayne Elec-
trio company, the Jenny Electric Motor
company of Indianapolis and the Amer
lean Electric Telephone company of
Kokomo have taken up large spaces with
fine exhibits. And next, SO far as l car
see, III display are Ohio, Massachusetts
and Minnesota.
The Negro building was at first sup
posed to be too small for the many who
wanted space, but exhibitors delayed SC
long that the design babe fair to degen-
crate into q burlesque, and even now
the hall sometimes appears rather as 4
place Of fashionable resort for the col
ored dudes and dudines Of Atlanta than
a place for scientific and industrial dis
plays. Despite the rapid progress of so
years there is still a good deal Of what
southerners call ''the Jim Crow bust
ness about the untaught negroes. They
seem irresistibly prone to be the clowns
and funmakers of humanity, and even
the dainty quadroon dude as he trips
along the walk, the admiration of the
! black gamin, seems as if he had "made
/ mn as burlesoue on the white ex-
| quisite rather than as dude sui generis.
| Perhaps, however, it only seems SO to
US by long association Of ideas. The
larger part of the space is taken by the
! educational institutions, and nearly all
the rest is occupied by food prepare
tions, artistic designs Of various sorts

took the regulation course in the law de-
partment of the University Of Virginia,
from which institution he was graduated
with honors. IN 1877 he was admitted
to practice at the bar of Texas, and be-
gan his legal career in Jefferson.
In 1850 he entered the whirl of poll
tics, and was elected to his first Office,
that Of county attorney Of Madison coun-
ty. Ee was even then looked upon as
enc of the coming men Of the younger
school of Texas Democrats, and was soon
nominated and elected attorney general
Of the state. His frmness Of character
and unQuestioned legal ability led to his
reelection, and in 1894 be was consid-
cred strong enough to successfully aspire
to the gubernatoriaI nomination. He
was opposed by the venerable ex-United
States Senator John H. Reagan and 9TH
er powerful Texas Democrats, but was
nominated and elected.
His friends affectionately refer to him
as ''Little Charley" but considerable
| imagination is necessary if the sobriquet
is to be accepted as descriptive. The

| and is broad shou1dered and deep chest

J is an athlete himself, in fact-and
weighs about 40 pounds. In the pictur-
/ esque language of Texan admirer, the
governor ''has plenty Of courage, could
/ give bulldog cards and spades for clean
grit and is about as swift politician
as Texas has afforded since the days Of
Sam Houston. -
