STILL WORKS FOR JUSTICE

After three months OF steady work,
the carpenters employed in the install
lation of the Virginia exhibit at the
Jamestown Exposition in the new hall
of exhibits in the State Library build-
ing, completed their work yesterday
painters will be through in a day or
two.
This does not mean that the ex-
hbition is in place ready for the pub
lie In fact. 1t will not be open for
more than two months. u. A. Schubert,
travelling land and industrial agent
for the Norfolk and Western Railway,
the State for this work. will be busy
with other duties during the next few
weeks. and cannot give the final
touches his attention until autumn.
Tomorrow and Tuesday will be
taken up in placing the lumber ex-
hibits in the section assigned to them.
Then the hall will be closed.
It is planned to have at least one
log from every county in the State.
These are to be as far as possible OF
uniform size, the bark showing in
front at the bottom, piece to be
cut out in the centre to show the
grain. and the top piece at the back
mitred. Many pieces of lumber
treated in this manner are already
in the hail.
Railroads Helped.
The principal railroads of the State
have been liberal In donating exhibits
showing the products of the territory
through which they run. They will
be given credit for their exhibits so
far as it COMFORTS with the general
scheme.
The collection of birds and animals,
though FAR from complete, Is one Of
the most interesting of the exhibits
Some OF these specimens were shown
at Jamestown, while others come from
Mr. Koiner's collection in the museum
of the Department OF Agriculture.
Some valuable mineral specimens and
seashells also came from the latter
source.
OF course, the gem of the exhibit
is the Mccormick gift. The fac simile
of the first reaper. made on the family
estate In Rockbridge county, with the
wonderful little working models OF
the successive reapers. harvesters and
binders, will perhaps be the centre OF
attraction to visitors.
Some additional material which has
been presented to the State through
Mr.. Schubert's efforts will be installed
In the autumn, after which the hall
will be given general cleaning and
! renovation, to be made ready for the
I public
Ample electric lights have been
| placed In the hall, whose beauties per-
haps appear best with the artihclai
! illumination. But as the State
/ buildings have never been used at
| night 10 any extent, excepting the
reading room of the state Library, it
Is doubtful If the lights VIII shine
excepting on special occasions.

Monday, Feb Ia.
The patrons of st. Johnsbury are
promised a rare treat in musical come
dy at the Colonial on Monday eve
ming, when the highly successful extrav-
aganza, The Wizard of Wiseland"
will be presented. The book of this
much-talked OF attraction has well
outlined plot, according to press criti-
cisns. and the music and lyrics are OF
strictly meritorious type. A strong
company of singers and comedians. as
sisted by an excellent chorus and ballet
from all accounts, have. been appearing
to crowded houses in every city visit
ed. The proof of the pleasure afforded
by the performance in these places lies in
the fact that return dates have been
asked for by many managers, so that
music and amusement lovers here may
expect a high-class and enjoyable
event. The scenery and costumes used
in this merry trip into the weird and
beautiful mythland are said to be of
the most lavish type, the transforma-
tions alone being marvels Of scenic art
and ingenuity.
