tlng and effective. The average nr s.,.h CT lacks vim and independence. Ger. 'alnly m the presence of leading poli. ueians and statesmen many preachers have shaky knees. There is no doubt of 1t. Right here in Washington some so-called preachers never open their mouths concerning wickedness which should be rebuked. These congressman were dumfounded when they were thus depicted by the fearless blind young preacher. The services were concluded and the preacher went to his stateroom. He realized that his ser- mon had been terrific philIipic, and apprehended some manifestation of the displeasure of the statesmen. While pondering the matter, he reached the conclusion that he had but done his duty, and he would stand by his dec larations, no matter what might be said or done.
 In the meantime the passengers were discussing the sermon and raising collection. The contributions were lib eral, and one of the passengers carried to the preachers stateroom a sum of money such as he had never handled before. That afternoon the congress- men waited upon him and asked him If he would permit the use of his name as a candidate for the position of chap- lain of the national house of repre- sentatives. After giving the subject prayerfui consideration that afternoon

fellowship upon an occasion of this character. l, therefore, recommend that the subject be duly considered, suggesting that such appropriation bo made as will enable he state to be creditably represented there, and that the appointment of a commission be au- thorized as its official representatives.
 Rhode Island vas the first eastern state to make an appropriation and to erect building, and the governor of the far-away territory of Alaska, with the aid of enterprising citizens, is pre- pairing to make an elaborate exhibit which will show the resources and de- velopment of that country ill splendid style. New Mexico will send 15 tons of material and other specimen prod ucts. The California state board of trade asks for large space for great display of fruit. Ohio has made lib- eral appropriation for state display, and the city of Cincinnati will erect a building at a cost of $10,000, a single exhibit in which will cost S30,00O. Yer mont has made an appropriation, and the legislatures of other states now in session are asked to provide for exhib- its, and where this cannot be done the public-spirited citizens and leading business men will provide the means for creditable representation. Gov. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, visited the exposition grounds few weeks ago in company with nearly all the leading state officers, and they were greatly astonished at the magnitude of the plant and the magnificence of the build ings. The governor gave the manage ment the most positive assurance that the state of Pennsylvania should appro- priate at least $40.000 for the purpose of making an exhibit worthy of the Keystone state.
 The rivalry between the cities of Gin cinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and Chica- the best impression upon the southern people, in the hope of winning the trade of that section, is the best evidence of the great favor with which the centen- nial is looked upon in the business world.
 A. Macchi, foreign representative of the exposition, with headquarters in London, has special commissioners in every country in Europe, all of whom will be represented, 5o0,oo0 square feet of space having already been engaged for European exhibits, necessitating the construction of large annex to the Commerce building. The Russian and Scandinavian exhibits promise to be the most wonderful, representing home life. industry, commerce, art and edu- cation. A Japanese village has also been built, showing street in one ot the principal cities of Japan. These are only few of the many indications of the interest outside of Tennessee and her neighrsring states, al of wae<a are

 presented.
 The United States government has given the exposition splerdid recngnl- ton, having made an appropriation cS Sl30.OO0 for a building of magnificent architecture and an exhibit which win demonstrate the practical workings of the several departments at Washing ton. The plans of this building are bcyv being made and the contract for the erection of the building vii! be awarded without the usual requi cment of ad- 'ertising 30 days for bids.
 All of the main buildings have been completed except the great History structure. which will itself be one of the best specimens of art. and for which ground has been broken. The Negro building will soon be completed. and nothing will remain 10 be done in that line of work after the 1st of Aprll un- less 1t be some of the smaller affairs for concessions, etc.
 In the woman's department the past month has marked the steady advance ment of the work m all its branches, and the additional assurance of new fea- lures of interest and beauty. and the greater perfection of otbers already mapped out.
 On the second floor Of the Woman's building one of the large front rooms, whose windows look ont toward the Auditorium, will be known as the Georgia room, and will be furnished and decorated entirely by she women of Georgia. under the direction of Mrs. Joseph Thompson. of Atlanta. the chief commissioner in charge. During the first week of the new year the entire board of Georgia commissioners held a meeting, at which the sum of S1,0oO was voted to be expended in the beauti- flying and fitting up of this room. As this sum is already in hand, the appfo- priation means the immediate begin ming of the work, under tue direction of the appointed committee, who are al- ready receiving bids and estimates. As finished the room will be handsome reception room. and around its walls will be placed a few cases filled with choice specimens of the best attain- ments and handiwork of the Georgia women in various lines.
 At the head of the wide stairway on the second floor another room will be furnished by band of women as a handsome setting for the exhibits of their work and achievements, and dur ing the past month in Chattanooga. the home of the workers, constant meetings have been held to decide upon plan of decoration and the exhibits to be ac- cepted for this room. )ne interesting feature which it will present will be a

 In Marion county recently the wom- en have secured court appropriation of such good proportions as toinsure at least one added feature to the building ir addition to the county and woman $ handiwork exhibit, which they will send as the result of their own efforts.
 In Shelby county, with over $3,000 in hand, the women are progressing rapid- ly with the selection of plans and bids for their part of the work. and con- tractors will shortly be sent to Nash vile to begin on wall decoration and the placing of the tiling on the floor of the grand entrance hall of the build- ing.
 In Nashville for the past 50 days the leading feature of the work has been the organization of local Women's Gen. tennial clubs in each of the wards of the city and many of the districts of the surrounding country. The first of these clubs was organized early in December, and through this agency al- ready 500 women are enlisted in the cause whose cooperation had not been secured before. Each club has four of- ficers, whose chairman directs the plan O work, and meets with the state board of the woman's department at their reg ular meetings.
 The money made by the Davidson county members of the board will be used in providing the necessary funds for the committees work. furnishing and advancing such parts of the build ing as have not been appropriated by different bands of workers. and in pay ing the entire running expenses of the building during the six months of the exposition.

 1snity. He also learned that the passen- gers were playing cards and drinking great deal of whisky. He further as- certalned that the most hilarious of them all were some western congress men, who were on their way to Wash ihgton to attend the coming session of congress. There were nearly 300 pas sengers on the boat, and at 10: 30 o'clock 'hey assembled in the cabin and services were held. Familiar hymns were sung, ond the chaplain prayed, and then de hNered a sermon the like of which few men have ever heard.
 The young preacher said that he had aiways been taught to respect people hlen ID authority, and had been led to believe that gentlemen who were cent tS congress were leaders of their Peopt Tn all things good. He had sup Pusen that they were represe utatives VI the people intellectually and morally as well as politically. But while on the poa' ne had heard enough to convince H'hi that II the representatives in con siess were really representatives of the peopie' then this republic must be na- non oi drunkards, gamblers and ungod- men Tn every particular. With viz oious and direct English, such as few ..en can use, the young preacher said mat as an American citizen he felt outraged and disgraced, and that as a preacher of the Gospel he felt it to be ms duty to tell them that unless they nlehued their ways they would all be damned.
