Charleston, $. C., April 23-This was New York State day at the Charleston exposition, and it was notable for the large number of New Workers who came here to participate in the exer- cises The New York State building was turned over to the exposition and Governor Odell delivered an address. The governor said;
 New York is called the Empire state because, in the language of one of her most eloquent sons. within it's vast do- main of mountain and forest, city and town, field and humming valley and waste seashore, its romances, it's re- sources and it's power are blended New York is proud of the fact that there sits at the head of our national government to-day one of her citizens, who, though suddenly called to those great duties, is discharging them with dignity and courage, and whose early training in affairs of state within our borders fits him for his great respon- abilities. We know him to be honest, courageous and upright, and we ask
  tion, the same support that is accorded by those who know him and respect him for his worth.
 we are glad to recognize that, through the energy the perseverance and the determination of your citizens, this exposition has been made possible, because there is no form of teaching or learning which impresses itself so for cbly upon the mind as the study of the works which have resulted through the ingenuity of man, the application of sci ence to machinery or the knowledge of a agriculture, which makes two blades of grass grow where but one has grown before.- It is an education that cannot be obtained from books, but rather of the knowledge that sees sermons in stones, books in running brooks and good in everything.

 New York, April 23-The reports of hot weather in the west had a de- pressing effect on the stock market and resulted in considerable liquidation, but the best people tell us that the bull movement is not yet over, though small declines may occur. Tennessee Coal and Iron offered good opportunity to take profits to-day around 73, as advis- ed in our letter yesterday. We think it safe to buy the better class stocks now for sharp upturn. There Is go- ing to be a big bull movement in tre transactions, but whether it will start tomorrow or next day is impossible to tell
