ing circulars to intending exhibitors,

In the circular at hand the statements
made that the object of the exposition
is to make the people of the United
States better acquainted with the state
of Tennessee; it is not being pushed as
a money-making scheme for its pro-
motors. Space is free to exhibitors and
power is furnished without extra charge
to those requiring it. Nearly all availa-
bic spaces are taken, but there are a few
remaining which are being reserved for
especially attractive exhibits. The ex-
position will be held at Nashville, Tenn,
opening May and closing October 81,
1897. That it will surpass the Phila-
delphia centennial is an assured fact,
and it will be very far ahead of Atlanta.
When compared with the great worlds

it only in certain lines, and will be
fully equal to it in all essential par
ticulars"

Especial Nashville (Tenn) Letter =
The Tennessee Centennial Exposition,
the White City that has sprung up in
Nashville during the past few weeks,
has now assumed an aspect that is beau
tiful beyond comparison. AS winter
relaxes it's grasp and vernal beauties are
apparent, the picture presented is like
a glimpse of fairy land, a page from the
orient, as though called into being by
the magic wand of the genii. The
stately buildings, incomparably grand
and majestic, of purest white, seem to
stand like silver caskets on base of
emerald, and the reflection of the spires
and tapering minarets in the pretty
lakes is most enhancing vision.

so in this climate" he tells his friends.
The high efficiency of our public
school system is largely due to the
energy and perseverance of Mr.. Bar
nard. He began working to improve it
when he was member of the state leg
islature from 1887 to 1910, when he sug-
gested the passage of an act providing
for the recording of school statistics
and their publication by the comp
troller. This was followed by other
acts, among them one for the better
supervision of common schools and one
for the building of better schoolhouses.
In 1843 he visited the schools of every
state in the union and spoke on educa-
ton before II legislatures. He made the
acquaintance of the leading teachers in
60 American cities and correspondent
with them for years after.

the Connecticut state schools, and from
1857 to 1859 president of the University
of Wisconsin. Then until 1867 he was
busy writing on educational subjects,
particularly in his Journal of Educa-
ton, which he had esta blished in 1855.
He also issued in 1866 the American Lii
brary of Schools and Education and be-
gan to agitate for national bureau of
education.

40 feet in height, and is magnificently
proportioned.
During the past week work has been
commenced on the Government build
ing and also upon the Educational
building. A track has been laid and
ballasted to the site of the Government
building and train loads of material,
etc., have already been unloaded. When
completed it will be most beautiful
structure, of novel and ornate style of
architecture and of especially graceful
outline. The Negro building is now ap-
preaching completion. It is considered
by many to be the most beautiful build
ing on the grounds, and it is a revela-
ton. That is to say, its contents will
be, for the people who have been &C
customed to read of ''Another Southern

pers, will scarcely believe such work
possible by negroes in 'the Sunny

The grand organ is another thing
that will attract great attention, and
it will be most superb instrument. In
size it will be one of the largest in the
south, being 40 feet wide and 80 feet
high, and having So stops and 1,S47
pipes. The makers, Hook & Hastings,
of Boston, built the enormous organs in
the music halls in Cincinnati and Bos-

1roduced a bill in congress, effected its
passage and Mr.. Barnard talked Presi-
dent johnson into signing it. The presi-
dent did more than that-he appointed
Mr.. Barnard commissioner of education.
Through the general interest which
from the beginning of his career he ex-
cited in his work Mr.. Barnard was
brought into intimate relations with
many public men. He knew personally

ccpt the first three. With most of them
he was on terms of hearty friendship.

good cheer that night. 1t was the day
of some saint or other. Nearly every
day is saints day in Central America.
But this was the day of the patron saint
of the governors wife, wherefore the
guards celebrated in wine and song.
At nine o'clock that night the gov
ernor sat down to play poker with
Parks, who passed for an American
merchant. The gambler dealt clumsy
hands; he was bluffed with infinite ease;
the governor thought he had never met
an easier opponent. Piles of notes
crossed over the table from Parks to
the governor, then pieces of gold, and
at last, whole stacks of gold pieces. The
governor was drunk with the lust of
the Americans yellow money.
And while they played Davis, with a
doggedly, at the stone wall of his cell.
The drunken guards snored.
The governor was in high good humor.
The keen ears of the American gambler
opposite him could hear the ring of
the metal bar on the stones. The gov
errors wife heard it also, but not the
gold-besotted governor.
It was almost daylight. The gov
errors wife signaled to Parks. Parks
bet his last pile of gold absurdly. The
governor pulled it sleepily toward him.
1T is my last, senor," said Parks.
"Better luck next time," said the gov
ernor. ''Come again tonight. I sleep"
Parks, the sleepless, the iron-willed,
arose from the table and looked sig
nificantly at the governors wife.
"He is already on the outside. Adieu."
They shook hands. The governors
wife: found roll of gold in her hand.
Parks was gone.
Outside the prison walls he found
Davis in rags, barefooted and emaciated,
but dauntless and even jaunty.
1--WE must make for San Salvador" he
said.
All that day and the next, and for days
following: they made their way over
mountains and through jungles, until
they came to San Lorenzo, and shipped
from there to New Orleans: The res
cuing of Davis cost Parks something
! like $4,000 ur.s ~. :.-.
"rll pay you back some day." said
Davis. ....<, r, g., = :.ss.>

The wires were put in operation and

try. But the sports were all ''broke.''
Cummings sent $4,000; the Kansas City
man had $1,000 to spare. That was ell.

Parks, in Paris, was no doubt aston
ished to receive two kilograms, one
from Kansas City, the other from Qua
temala, demanding his immediate pres
ence in the Central American republic
with all the money he could bring.
Parks was game. He could not go back
on friend in distress. He closed his
game, changed his money into gold and
took passage on slow, rolling steamer
to Guatemala.
Meanwhile, Davis was planning in
trigues to keep from being shot. If he
could hold out for few weeks, until
Parks arrived, he knew that golden
key would procure his release. Every
delay cost diamond or two. He paid
a doctor several diamonds to report ia
the governor of the prison that he was
too ill to be removed from his cell. His
diamonds paid for kilograms, luxuriel
and delay.
Parks, on board the tumbling little
steamer, fumed at the delay. At last
however, he reached the port of Cham
