THE UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION

The Achievements of Individuals end Nations Faithfully Recorded by This Encyclopedia of Society. By PREDEKICK J. V. SKIFF, Director of Exhibit., World’s Fair. “The wisdom of all ages Is none too great for the world’s work.* In this single salient sentence, uttered In his famous address at Buffalo In September, 1901, President McKinley described the object and the result of expositions. A modern universal exposition is a collecUon of the wisdom and achievements of the world, for the inspection of the world, for the study of its experts, by which they may make comparisons and deduction and develop plans for future Improvements and progress. Such a universal exposition might well be called an encyclopedia of society. It constitutes a classified, compact, indexed compendium of the achievejnents and ideas of society in all phases of Its activity, extending to the most material as well as the most refined. It offers Illustrations covering the full field of social performance, from the production of the shoes on our feet and the pavement beneath them to a presentation of the rarest and most delicate creations of the brains and hands of men in what are called the fine -arts of civilization. The Universal Exposition in St Louis in 1904 will be such a social encyclopedia in the most comprehensive and accurate sense. It will give to the world in revised and complete details “a living picture of the artistic and industrial development at which mankind has arrived” and will actually provide “a mew starting point from which all men may direct future exertions.” It will present for the Inspection of specialists in all lines of Industrial and social endeavor and for the public an assembly of the best which the world has done and has to show in industry, art and science, and, what is very Important, it will offer these achievements of soeieti’, these trophies of civilization. In a highly selected, accurately classified array. The creators of the St. Louis Exposition have had the experience of all previous great expositions by which to plan and effect its high organization. The continuous and repeated burden of the message of experience handed down by all expositions has been more perfect, more effective classification and arrangement of exhibits. The classification of the St Louis Exposition has been prepared to present a sequential synopsis of the developments that have marked man’s progress. On its bases will be assembled the most highly organized exposition the world has yet seen. The St Louis classification is divided into 16 departments, 144 groups and 807 classes. These grand departments in their order will record what man has accomplished at this time with his faculties, industry and skill and the natural resources at his command in the environment in which he has been placed. At the head of the Exposition siflcatlon has been placed Education, through which man enters social life. Second comes Art. showing the condition of his culture and development Liberal Arts and Applied Sciences are placed third, to indicate the result of his education and culture, illustrate his tastes and demonstrate his Inventive genius, scientific attainment and artistic expression. These three departments equip him for the battle and prepare him for the enjoyments of life The raw material departments. Agriculture, Horticulture, Mining and Forestry, show how man conserves the forces of nature to his uses. The Department of Manufactures will show what he has done with them; the Department of Machinery the tools he has used. The Department of Transportation will show how he overcomes distances and secures access to ail parts of the world. The Department of Electricity will indicate the great forces he has discovered and utilized to convey power and intelligence. And so through the several departments to Anthropology, in which man studies man; and to Social Economy, which will Illustrate the development of the human race, how It has overcome the difficulties of civilization and solved problems In which society is involved. Last is placed physical culture, in which man, his intelligence having reached the supreme point is able to treat himself as an animal, realizing that his intellectual and moral constitutions require a sound physical body to prompt them to the proper performance of their function. Education Is thd keynote of the Universal Exposition of 1904. Each department of the world’s labor and development will be represented at St Louis, classified and Installed in such manner that all engaged or Interested in such branch of activity may come and see, examine, study and go away advised. Each of the separate sections of the Exposition will be an equivalent of—or, rather, will be in actuality a comprehensive and most effective object lesson in—the line of industrial and social achievement and progress which its presents.

Cost of Seeing the World’s Fair.

From any point within 300 miles of St Louis a person may travel to the World’s Fair this year, view the wonders of the Exposition for three days and expend the same money he would pay in any other year for train fare alone. This Is an absolute fact. The Western Passenger Association HflS agreed on a ten day excursion rate, 250 miles or more from St Louis, for one and one-fifth fare for the round trip.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

, NoteS Railroad Haarnate. 1 Edward EL Harrtman, who is one oh tbe most prominent figures in tbe litigation over the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways, began his career in Wall street less than thirty years ago with none of the vast wealth he has since acquired. Within the past few years he has become the rival, If not the peer, of the greatest financiers of his time—a power

EDWARD H. HARRIMAN.

In stupendous enterprises and a controlling factor in some of the greatest railway properties in the world. Up to five years ago, when he organized a syndicate to purchase the Chicago and Alton, he was but little known in railroad or financial circles, except as a member of the New York brokerage firm of llarriman Bros, and a director of the Illinois Central railroad, with which he has been prominently connected for the last fifteen years. Since acquiring control of the Alton he has become largely interested in the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Pacific Mail Steamship line, Oregon Railway and Navigation company and Kansas Southern railroad, and practically holds sway over the destinies of all these roads. Through affiliation with the Goulds and Rockefellers lie is also interested in the roads controlled by the latter. Next to the control of vast railroad systems Mr. Harrimun takes especial delight In his magnificent country estate at Tuxedo, N. Y., which embraces a tract of more than 10,000 acres. Gutor Didn’t Sanlle. Shortly after George A. Castor was sworn in as a representative from the Third Pennsylvania district to fill a vacancy one of his Philadelphia colleagues presented him to a number of members on the Republican side, and among these was a western man, who Inquired when the name Castor was mentioned; “Are you in the oil business, Mr. Castor T’ The new member declared he was not in that business in a tone that showed he did not relish what was Intended as a pleasantry. Sntolll Coming to America. Cardinal Satolli, with the pope’s permission, is coming to the United States privately and without a mission, arriving probably in June. As prefect of the congregation of studies he will visit the Catholic university at Washington and will also make a trip to the St Louis exposition. Cardinal SatollPs visit to the United States is considered most important, there being no record in recent times of a cardinal immediately attached to the papal court going abroad without being accredited an ablegate. A Rum inn Sea Fighter. Captain Reltzenstein; who recently hoisted ills flag on the cruiser Askold at Port Arthur, was stationed at Vladivostok when the Russo-Japanese war broke out. He was second In command to Rear Admiral Stackelberg, and when that officer was compelled by 111 health

CAPTAIN REITZENSTEIN.

to return to Russia, Captain Reltze Ebstein - was placed in charge of the splendid squadron of cruisers that was stationed at the Siberian port These ships were the armored cruisers Rossi a, Rurlk and Stromovoi and the protected cruiser Bogatyr, all of great Bpeed and power. In fact no finer ships of their type are afloat today. With this squadron Captain Reitrenstein made several sorties into the sea of Japan and captured several Japanese merchantmen and is said to have sunk several more. Of late the Vladivostok squadron has remained under the guns of the fortifications.

Attention Farmers. Why remain in the North and stay indoors six months in the year consuming wljat you -aise during the other six months? Go South where you can work out dcors every month in the year, and where you are producing something the year round. If you are a stock raiser you know your stock are now “eating their heads off" and, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter by expensive shelter, Economical stock feeding reS:s the combination of both -forming and fat-forming food in certain proportions. Alabama and Florida produce in abundance the velvet bean and cassava, the first a flesh producer, and the latter a fat producer, and they are the cheapest and best fattening materials known to the world. More money can be made and with less labor, in general farming, fruit and berry growing and truck gardening along oui road in the South than |n any other section of the Union.
