UNITED STATES INDIAN EXHIBIT
Congress of Red Men at the Worlds
 Fair will Include Representatives of Both Wild and Civilized Tribes.

Worlds Fair, St Louis, Aug 1S.- Much genuine sentiment is centered in the Indians Bureau preparations for an exhibit at the. coming Worlds Fair of the representatives of the tribes of American Indians That the congress of real red men at St Louis in 1904 will be the largest and most comprehensive Indian exhibit ever at tempted, and that it will be the last exhibit of the kind the United States government will attempt to make on understood at Washington. IL is. therefore, the intention of the Indian Bureau to make it as complete as possible. and it has therefore been planned on elaborate foundations.
 The exhibit will be representative of the various types of this country's original inhabitants. It will be inde- pendent of the other government ex- hibiIs and will be enclosed in stock
  exhibition are government prisoners, and will be constantly guarded. The noted Apache chief. Geronimo. now more than 70 years of age who will be at St Louis. is never permitted to leave his reservation except under guard. There will be Indian villages, presenting Indian customs and mode of living. as well as the various Indian dances, snake dances. dog feasts, and other incantations in which the In dians appear in their gaudily decora- ted and fantastic garbs will be pre- sented more actively and effectively than has been attempted of the reser- vation. There will also be sham battle and other exhibitions bearing a resemblance to the experiences of the early frontiersman, including the council of war, the massacre and the pipe of peace.

A BRIGHT PROSPECT.

In a recent article we commented on
the growth of the city of Savannah.
| drawing especial attention to present
and prospective improvements in the
| way of business buildings and blocks
and private residences. A correspond
ent writes to suggest that we might
have pointed out more clearly what has
already been accomplished and direct
ed attention to the fact that in twenty
five years the city has grown on the
south from CASTOR street to Estill ave-
nue.. and on the east and southeast to
the Waters road, TO say nothing of
the building UP of the western section.
All of this. however. has been referred
to time and again by us, and the OBJ
ject of the article to which the cor
respondent alludes was only to call
attention to what is going on at pres
ent and what is in prospect for the
immediate future.
Savannah is steadily growing. and
the growth will be continued. In the
early seventies the Morning News pre-
dicted that before the end of the CEN
fury the city would have over $4,000
population. Some of the croakers in
Quired where the people would come
from, where they would live, and
what they would do for a livelihood

have arrived; and they have better
homes to live in as rule than those
who were here thirty years
ago; they reside in a better
city, and have more of the
good things of life. Their houses are
on lots that cost them per lot as much
as the land thirty years ago was sold
for per acre. And people are still COM
ing. Thirty years hence, at the same
rate of growth, Savannah will extend
well towards Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope. and there will be 10000 and pos
sibly 100000 persons within its limits
and suburbs.
There are young men growing up
who belong to Savannah and know her
wants. They will do more for their
city than their forbears were able to
do, though the latter wrought well.
These young men are becoming firmly
grounded in the belief that there is no
better city in the world than their
own, and they are right. 1t differs in
some respects from other cities, to be
sure, but 1t has many and manifest
advantages over all of it's neighbors.
Believe in your city, young men of
Savannah. Stand up for it always. 1t
is good and great now; it will be bet
ter and greater. It's prospects are
brighter to-day than ever before. 1t
will reward the faith and works of its
people.

The editor of rural newspaper was
in Philadelphia during the week follow
ing the shooting of President McKin-
ley, and noted with surprise the
promptness of the newspapers there to
bulletin board the hourly reports of
the Presidents condition. He deter
mined to adopt the idea on all import
ant events when he should return
home. Soon afterward he was told one
morning by the local physician that
Deacon Jones was seriously i'll. The
deacon was a man of some distinction
in the community; so, the editor post
ed a series of bulletins as follows:
1000 a. m.-Deacon Jones no better.
HOO a. m.-Deacon Jones has relapse.
1890 p. m.-Deacon Jones weaker.
Pulse failing.
100 p. m.-Deacon Jones has slight

2:15 p. m.-Deacon Jones' family has
been summoned.
$40 p. m.-Deacon Jones has died
and gone to heaven.
Later in the afternoon, a travelling
salesman happened by, stopped to read
the bulletins, and. going to the bulletin
board, made another report concerning
the deceased. 1t was;

IRnN AND COAL.

Some idea of the industrial activity
that has engaged this country during
the last three years or so may be had
iron and coal production, practically
all OF which iron and coal have been
absorbed by consumption. The stocks
at present are very little If any great
err than they were four years ago. AS
a matter of fact, they are smaller than
the manufacturers would like to see
them, especially in the case of coal
So limited is the supply of coal that
uneasiness is beginning to be manifest
ed lest the strike should be prolonged
until industries are seriously crippled.
And yet the country produced 8 per
cent. more coal last year than it did in
1898.
The production of iron ores shows a
phenomenal leap in three years. The
data of the Geological Survey show
that in 1901 the iron ore production
was 9,453,76S long tons greater than
the production in 1898. a gain of 40 per
cent. The aggregate of production was
- Il
productions of Germany and Great
Britain by more than 10000. 900 tons
each, as shown by the latest available
official statistics from those countries.
The red hematite mines gave a little
better than SO per cent. of the produc-
ton, and 1t is gratifying to note that
the South is rapidly coming to the
front as a producer of red hematite.
Minnesota and Michigan gave the
greatest output, in the order named,
and were followed by Alabama in third
place. But red hematite is not the
| South's only iron ore. Brown hematite
plays an important part in the iron
| business, and of this ore the two Vir-
ginias combined gave out more than
any other section, followed by Alabama
and Tennessee. Considered by states
Minnesota contributed nearly 38 pei
cent. of the iron ore production of the
United States in 1901, Michigan about
q per cent and Alabama 10 per cent
Pennsylvania holds fourth place, the
Virginias combined fifth, Tennessee
sixth, Wisconsin seventh, New Yorl
eighth, etc. Georgia and the two Caro-
linas combined produced nearly 216,-
900 long tons of iron ore during the
year.
The country's coal output last year
was 292, 24O.75S tons. This is nearly q
per cent. greater than the total OF
Great Britain's production for the same
years and so per cent. greater thar
that of Germany. It is seven times
the production Of Austria Hungary
and eight times that Of France. Penn
sylvania, of course. led the list. fol
lowed by Illinois and Ohio. West Vlr-
ginia stood fourth, Alabama fifth, In
diana sixth. Colorado seventh, Iowa
eighth, Kentucky ninth and Maryland
tenth. Coal and iron mining in the
South are comparatively young indus.
tries The development Of the south'l
mines has been one OF the wonders
Of the industrial world. Their ~.
sources, however. have hardly mors
than been touched. These mines arr
