New Jersey has reason to feel very proud
of its exhibits at St. Louis. They are pro.
nounced by competent critics the best Of
their kind in the Exposition. They are
superior in their intrinsic excellence and il
the artistic methods of their arrangement
and exhibition. Besides the regular work
from nearly all the public schools in the
State, the following are some of the unique
features of the New Jersey schools exhibited
in the Palace Of Education.
The exhibit is in pavilion made by the
New Jersey School Church Furniture Com
pany in Trenton and is one of the neatest
in the palace 1t is divided into four al
coves furnished with seventy New Jersey
display cabinets on as many bases, having
six drawers under each for books and other
work. These drawers are used only by the
New Jersey educational exhibit and are a
new feature. The drawers keep the work
clean and make it easy to be examined.
The whole exhibit is divided into sections,
and each cabinet and drawer is numbered.
One Of the original features adopted by
Mr.. S. r. Morse, the director of the ex-
hibit, and only used in the New Jersey
exhibit, is the index key to the whole ex-
hibit. 1t consists of eight units. Each
unit consists of one cabinet and set of six
drawers filled with all grades of work from
each county and city in the State. By con-
sulting this key one will be informed where
the work from any school having it can be
found by its reference to the section, cabin
cts and books in which the work can be
found. Every one. who has seen the index
key pronounces it one of the best features
in any Of the exhibits. It also has one
unit and four books of work in music and
drawing combined that no other State has,
1t is admired by all who see it. 1t also has
a unit of historical pictures, sketches and
descriptions Of important events and places
Of New Jersey.
This is the first time the New Jersey
State Museum has ever had a fish and game
exhibit. Some of its features are the man
ner Of presenting birds in groups consisting
Of male and female, the nests and eggs,
and in some cases the young with the
environments of the birds. No other
exhibit at the Worlds Fair has done this
This method is pronounced the best that
has ever been shown at worlds fair. The
fish specimen are so well mounted that
they seem real. The quadrupeds are also
in groups, showing in some cases the male,
female and young with their native sur
roundings. These attract much attention
and are admired by all. Some of them are
the opossums, the skunks, the muskrats,
young and nests, etc.
The oyster exhibit, consisting Of tank
representing a real oyster bed, with other
specimens, shows the manner OF raising,
taking and marketing them. The big pool,
forty feet across, filled. with salt water, con
tains fish from the Jersey coast waters.
This is one of the features of the Worlds
Fair.

tCultivating, Planting and Selling As
paragus, topic assigned to Edmund T.
Ridgway and John G. Whitall, was in
danger Of being passed, as neither Of these
gentlemen were present President Carter
finally prevailed on Henry ". Ridgway to
give fragment of his experience in these
lines. "The Keystone of success in grow
ing asparagus" he said, "was in selecting
the variety" That accomplished and the
rest was plain sailing. Without the right
variety, no amount of cultivating would
bring frst-class grass He believed the
cultivation of asparagus was yet in its in
fancy, because he did not believe even the
most experienced and most successful grow
ers knew all about bringing forth perfect
product, or developing the product to its
highest perfection. He charged the pros
pectiye grower.
1st. Not to put out seeds or roots that
be did not know all about.
2nd. Exercise great care in selecting
roots; if you want to put out 5000 roots,
procure 10000, and from them select five
thousand; select those with large eyes-the
small eyes do not produce large stalks;
don't put out large roots because they are
large-they must have other reeommenda-
tions.
Pntting out an asparagus bed is an in
vestment for from ten to twenty years;
hence mistake in this first step is big
with success or failure, because not earlier
than five years after planting will the result
be known
While the Palmetto is now considered the
best variety, he thought it had had its day.
The coming varieties, he thought, would
be the Purple Argentile, a French variety,
or the Yellow Burgundy, product Of
Holland.
Mr.. Ridgway then told Of his experience
failure and success-in selecting seed.
We won't undertake to report this feature
of his talk, because in some respects it was
technical, and our Interpretation might
mislead some reader We advise the pros
pective asparagus grower, however, to
interview Mr., Ridgway on this point] AS
to selling asparagus, Mr.. Ridgway said,
that would solve itself, If you had the
best.

soil had much to do in raising asparagus

KILLED IN JEROME.
Motorman Peters Meets with a Fatal
 Accident.

Motorman Peters Meets with a Fatal Accident.
 William F. Peters. a motorman in the employ of the United Verde Cop per company, was killed by a motor falling on him Sunday morning last
 about Il o'clock. says the Jerome News. Peters ran a motor which
 drew slag from the furnaces to the
 dump east of the shelter.
 In order to carry the slag from the
 furnaces located on the south side of
 the shelter along the edge of the
 dump, the train is run on to Y east of the general offices, where it is switched on to the track which runs
 along the dump. The south end of
 this Y ends at the county road. where
 the track is about ten feet above the
 road. With one pot of slag Peters
 ran on to the Y faster than usual-so
 fast, in fact, that the brakeman
 jumped from the train and called to
 him several times, in alarm, to stop. According to the evidence given be- fore the coroner's jury, the train was seen to stop and then give a jump toward the end of the Y, where it hit a large timber, chained there to keep
 the cars from going of the end. When tie motor hit the timber, the train
 shot up in the center, broke the chains which held the timber, and crashed
 over the end of the track to the road below.
 timber, Peters, who had evidently lost his head. was seen to attempt to
 reach safety by crawling over the mo | tor toward the slag pot, and when the | train hit he was evidently thrown to
 the road. the motor falling on him and
 crushing his life out immediately, the
 hot slag pouring over him after life
 had left his body. He was terribly
 crushed and burned
 An examination of the motor after the accident showed that the motor
 had not been reversed, but was full
 open to carry the train toward the end of the Y. The verdict of the cor | oDer's jury was that the accident was i caused by the motorman losing con- l trol of his machine. but the cause thereof was unknown.
 Deceased was a man of about B years of age, steady and industrious.
 He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his death. He was an Odd Fellow in good standing, and carried a life insurance of $2,000.
 His funeral took place Tuesday,
 and was attended by delegation from the Prescott Odd Fellows lodge
