PUBLIC SCHOOL ExHIsIr.
A Revelation In Penmanship end Free
Hand Drawing.

1NoNNANAa
The public school exhibit at the 10.
f. Robson building is a revelation in
penmanship and free hand drawing.
The work in its profusion and per
fection is marvellous. It's always the
case that one or two children in every
grade do good york in this line but
when whole army OF pupils come for
ward with such perfect work II re-
veals an immense amount OF patient
work and skilled instructions. The
exhibit speaks volumes for both teach
ers and pupils.
Beginning with grade No. the
penmanship and drawings improve
with each grade until in the 9th
and 7th grades and high school ex'
hibits there are Gibson heads that
are as perfect as Charles Dana Gibson
ever had drop from his pen.
The work perfection is sufficient to
bring renown If the pictures were only
original and bore the stamp OF indi.
viduality.
The Statue of Liberty, an old
stone bridge, a mounted colonist
pieces of colored work and Gibson
heads sre among the finest work on
exhibit. The exhibit in its entirety
would do credit to any city
Barring the elaborate work OF
maps there was never finer work on
exhibit in the public school depart
ment at the Texas State Fair.
The exhibit of each grade was giver
separate booth. A placard at eact
booth gave the names of the teachers
of each grade, but the drawing gave
the names of no pupils. The lattel
was arranged so that pupils who die
not take to the art suffered no EN-
barrassment.

Gray Makes Report.

State Mine Inspector J. M. Gray has filed with the governor an official report on the recent explosions in the mines at Flat Top, which caused the death of two men and wounded three others.
 Mir. Gray finds that the accident was in all probability caused by Stealing, victim of the accident, carrying lighted lantern into the powder house, in direct violation of one of the regulations of the mines. Inspector Gray found that the ventilation of the mine was good and that the accident occurred in the powder house.
 The direct cause of the accident, he ex- plained. might have been caused in sev- eral ways, and he set forth in his report how each way might have produced the accident.
 After thorough investigation, however, he said he was satisfied that the explo- sion in the powder house was produced by an open lighted lamp carried there by Stealing. This belief is based upon the fact that the remains of an open lamp were found outside the powder house.
 Oscar Lynn, white convict, told the mine inspector that he saw Stealing in the powder house with an open light a few minutes before the accident. The report stated that Superintendent Rogers was seriously wounded and was not resting well.
 In addition to this report MT Gray sent the governor a specific account of the character of the wounds which each of the injured sustained.
