VIRGINIA At ST. LOUIS.
The Great Mineral ExhlbIt-UniversIty Of
virQinia's Exhibit.

>
virainia's Exhibit.
Virginia will have splendid mineral
display at the Worlds Fair gotten up
and paid for in great part by the min
ing industries of the Southwest. Vir.
ginia will erect a building for the espe-
cial purpose. Messrs. George Murrell
and o. w. Stone are now in st. Louis
arranging details. 1t will cover an
area $50 feet square. The foundations
are to be of pig iron, the superstruc-
ture of coke and the roof of slate, all
from the Old Dominion. The coke is
to be fastened to timber studding and
is merely ornamental. After the
Worlds Fair closes the building it is
hoped will be removed to the grounds
of the counting jamestown Exposition
which will be held in 1907 to celebrate
the tri- centennial of the landing at
that historic city. At their recent
meeting the Board of Visitors of the
University of Virginia we're in session
until ~ o'clock midnight discussing
matters pertaining to the exhibit the
University intends to make at the st.
Louis Exposition. Messrs. Daniel
Harmon, R. Walton Moore, and Will
liam H. White, the Committee appoint
ed by the Board to determine the char
acter and scope of the University's ex-
hibit at the great Worlds Fair are
considering two propositions, one made
by J. H. Skinkef, a st. Louis attorney,
who appeared before the Board on be-
half of the University of Virginia
alumni resident in St. Louis and the
other presented by Capt. T. G. Morton
of the Virginia Commission. Mr..
Skinker's proposition provides for an
exhibit in plaster of the buildings,
rotunda, lawns, grounds. sc. In one
corner of the lawn is to be placed Calls
celebrated statue of Jefferson, and in
the other Zolnay's bust of Edgar Allan
Poe. Capt. Mortons suggestion was
that the University take q room in the
st. Louis Monticello Building, guar
anteeing all the space needed for the
exhibit, with place for the marble
statue of Jefferson in the entrance ball.
It is probable that the Committee may
act upon the suggestion of the faculty
and adopt the proposition made by
Mr.. Skinker for the principal exhibit,
and also make a minor exhibit in the
building, the latter to cost but few
hundred dollars. The space offered in
the educational building of the EXPOSE
ton for the exhibit in plaster is 2Sx22
feet and the cost of such exhibit is es-
timated at about $1,000.

Henry G.. Davis and his law,
Senator Steven B. Elklns. They are
to their State what Henry M. Flagler
is to Florida. The enterprises of their
promotion are everywhere in evidence.
When admired the CITY park at Elkins
they told me it was Mr.. Davis gift,
when passed the beautiful Presby-
terian church of cut stone I was told
that it was donated by the same gen.
erous hand, when admired the new
and elegant hospital they said it was
the ''Davis Memorial" an endowed in
stitution and a gift to the public, when
1 remarked on the large educational
institution now building they told me
it was the EikIns College, when I came
to the town it was on Davis & Elkins
railroad and when went away by an.
other route, it was still over their line.
80 wherever I went was up
against some Davis or Elkins interest
or whoever 1 spoke to talked about
those interests. The town of Davis
and the town Of Elkins were founded
by these men and in part recognition
thereof, are named after them.
To meet these gentlemen therefore
and to know from them more fully
their program for present and future
vast enterprises, was the natural wish
for newspaper man and one easily
gratife6. With letter of introduction
the hospitality of their private estates
was assured.

excellent sermon from the text But of
Him are Ye in Christ Jesus. Who of God
Is Made Unto Is Wisdom. and Righteous

Men are being led by the devil and are
blind to their own failures and needs
Wisdom begins the minute a man real
iZes his sinful habits and loathes them
Then he looks for some one to deliver
him. and his eye rests upon Christ the
Savior of Men. 1t means but TO look
and live. and then the righteousness of
