The Omaha Exposition.

When the Worlds Fair at Chicago
ceased to exist, it was supposed that
we should ne'er look upon its like
again. However, the Trans Mississippi
Exposition at Omaha has effectively
reproduced in similarity all OF the
buildings which made the White City
so attractive in 1879,
1t does not take weeks to wander
through grounds and structures and
then be compelled to go away with
tumble of ideas, for the Omaha EN-
position people have profted by past
experience, and have SO improved the
arrangement of exhibits that no more
than two or three days of time need be
consumed in admiration or inspection
of the marvellous resources ofthe West,
collected together in the chief city of
Nebraska,
Even the new Midway, is a repro
duction of the farfamed Street of All
Nations of 1899, with many improve
ments upon the original.
The electric lighting of buildings,
grounds and lagoon at nigh. makes u
scene of enchanting beauty, alone
worth travelling thousand miles to
see.
The means of communication be-
tween the city and the grounds are
ample. and the distance to be traversed
is short.
The ways of reaching Omaha are in
Vulnerable. but chief among them is
the direct Chicago and Omaha short
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee u st,
Paul Railway, with its clcctric-lighted,
vestibulcd trains. Dining car service

the possession of unusual physical and
intellectual powers. He is three months
younger than Gladstone, who waits in
pain and anguish the summons 10 cross

He is five years older than Bismarck,
whose knowledge of the guilty secrets of
empires makes monarchs tremble in their
capitals He is nine years older than
Queen Victoria, the splendors of whose

Ninevah and Tyre. He is a year younger
than Secretary Thompson, the veteran
statesman of Indiana, who has seen every
President but Washington.
Had Lincoln survived he would have
been year older than Senator Morrill,,
He is - years older than Secretary Sher-

spain's Tremendous Debt.

IL Has Cost s30O. OOU.OOU IN the Cuban
Campaigns---Interest Charges Are Now
20 Per Cent of Entire Revenues.
Few persons in this country realize the
vast am Junt of money that Spain has
spent in trying to subdue the Cubans and
the small amount of the Spanish govern
ment's total receipts compared to those of
some other nations. The struggle was be-
gun in February, 1895 Since that time
Spain has spent in the campaign more than
$500, 100000, and Captain General Blanco
has announced that he will require SlO,-
100000 per month. In 1894 % the total
of the ordinary receipts of the Spanish
treasury amounted to Sal 5000 But
in the aggregate for the latter year there
was included upwards of IS, 600, 900, which
was paid for exemption from military serv-
ice, and will, of course, drop out when the
war is on. For the same year the deficit
in the ordinary budget was 81 100000, but
it was in reality much larger, because in
cuded in the revenue was upwards of So.
100000 from previous borrowings. So that,
excluding this last item and also the re-
ceipts for exemption from military service,
the real deficit was over S2j, 00O,O This
was independent of the cost of the Cuban
campaign. The home debt of Spain, eX-
elusive of the Cuban debt, amounted at
The end of last year to Sl,GG0, 100000,
which entailed an annual charge of about
500, 100000. or rather more than 20 per
cent OF the entire ordinary revenue, eXclu-
slye OF credit operations. The eXpendi-
ture on the army and navy, exclusive of
the cost of the Cuban operations, figured
in the budget for 1896 % for S34 800, 900
Consequently the debt charge and the nor
mai military and naval services absorb 70,
gether over 1892 500, 900, which leaves less
than Sl0,000,O 600 for the general admins
tration expenditure OF the country.

TOM AND HIS TEACHERS. "
4 Thought- weakening Lecture by
Rishop John u. ViDccnt---Some Of the
Things which Toms Teachers should


4 Thought- weakening Lecture by
Ri.hop John u. ViDccut---Some Of the
Things which Toms Teachers should
Teach Tom.
= A more satisfied audience never left the
Methodist church than the one which lis
tened Tuesday evening to the lecture
entitled tom and His Teachers"
bv Bishop John II. Vincent of Topeka,
Kan. The church was well filled, and the
interest was keen throughout.
The speaker was introduced by Rev. l..
d. Temple and he proceeded at once to an
swer these three questions: Who is Tom?
Who are Toms teachers? What shall
Toms teachers teach Tom?
Tom is the average American boy. The
teachers discuss tonight are not profess
SIGNALS. The influences outside of the
school are the principal teaching factors.
"What shall Toms teachers teach Tom?'
The lecturer then discussed certain minor
and radical matters which must enter into
the teaching of every boy "He must be
taught to think independently, to form the
habit of observing the facts of nature and
of every day life from his earliest child
hood. A boy gets his most important
start in education before he is three years
of age. Tom must be taught to observe
| and to report accurately aud in good Eng
| lish what he observes
by a number of illustrations the lectur-
| or emphasized the necessity of teaching
| Tom to take other people into account; to
| help and not to be a burden or annoyance
! to other people He should be taught to
| revere Old age.
Among the radical matters which Tom
must be taught the lecturer discussed the
| following: "ue must be taught to account
/ himself a person not a thing, cause and
not a mere effect. He must be taught
/ that. being a person, he must be independ-
/ ent. earning his own way whether his par
euts be rich or poor He must be taught
| the law of iuterdepeudence.h Here the
! lecturer illustrated the power of the bust
ness man over Tom whom he employs.
''Never give Tom up The lecturer con
demned teachers and parents who discour-
rye Tom because he develops slowly.
Many a brilliant man was in his youth
pronounced dull. Never give Tom up
morally
Words fall far shor, of expressing til e
practical importance of Bishop Vincent 5
address. The possibilities of the Ameri-
can boy il encouraged along right lines
find adequate expression only in the tas-
cinatng eloquence of such a speaker. The
sentiment which permeated the entire lee
ture is absolutely beyond question and the
incidents in human life which the speaker
related, ranging from humorous to the pa
thetic, served to impress that fact upon
the minds Of his hearers. The serou:
thought which the lecture aroused in the
parents present cannot but result in the
betterment of many a Brattleboro tom.
