Ta.voey of ' Minnesota, chairman of the house com mittee on exposition, was introduced and made the first address. He said In parti 5Lr. Taivaer'* Word*. A more propitious time for profoundly im pressing upon the world the importance and glory 'of hCr achievements, a more favorable opportunity for displaying the splendor of our Institutions, exhibiting the tangible evidences of the prosperity •of our people, of our su premacy a« a nation, and the vast extent of our commercial and territorial expansion, has never before been presented • to the American people. Here the nations of the world -will exhibit for actual pleasure and profit the things they produce, those which will best typify and Illustrate the results of their civilization, their progress an& material development in everything that can con tribute or Is essential to the betterment of mankind. Thus with the world will profit im- Jbeasurably by this commemoration of one of the greatest historical events In the life of one of its youngest republics. The importance of this exposition as a means of educating ourselves and other na tions in the knowledge of those things' that make us the foremost nation in the globe, cannot be overestimated. It will be impor tant and beneficial, too, In that It will give to our social and industrial fabric a moral and an Intellectual significance that is the pride of America and the envy of the world. One of its chief values, however, will be in the opportunity for strengthening and culti vating more intimate social and industrial relations between the states' and between the United States and foreign countries. Another great object to be accomplished, one that transcends all others, is in the fact that this exposition it intended and will commemorate the first centennial of the great est International event in our history; the one that marks the beginning of that na tional policy that has 1 made us a world pow«i, without which our present Industrial and political supremacy could never have been accomplished. Congressman Tawney was followed by "World's Fair Commissioner John Allen of Mississippi, who delivered an elo quent address. A band of sixty pieces rendered a special program of patriotic j music SCOPE OF THE FAIR How the Building* Are Arranged and What Will Be Done In Them. St. Louis, (Dec 20.— Louisiana Pur chase exposition, for which ground was formally broken to-day, Is the first great N world's fair of the twentieth century. This exposition will be held in celebra- j tion of the centennial of what is known la history as the Louisiana Purchase. By this transaction the United States govern ment in 1803 secured from France ell the land lying between the Mississippi river • and the Rocky Mountains, an area of more than a million square miles, and ex ceeding the territory of the United States at that time. Fourteen, states and terri tories have been created out of the Louis iana, territory, having a total present pop ulation of about 15,000,000, and an esti mated wealth of $30,000,000,000. The money available for the exposition far exceeds the amount ever before in hand for such an enterprise, comprising* some $16,000,000. The 'citizens and cor porations of St. Louis raised by private subscription the sum of $5,000,000; the municipality of St. Louis added $5,000,000 more; the state of Missouri appropriated $1,000,000, and the United States govern ment gives Its endorsement and help to the extent of $5,000,000, besides appro priating $250,000 for the government building. It is expected that this last named Bum will be considerably increased for the purpose of. making the most com plete government exhibit ever brought together. Appropriations have been made by several states ranging all the way from $15,000 to $250,000 each. The site of the world's fair is in the western part of the city, the authorities having set aside more than 600 acres of Forest Park to the uses of the exposition, and an adjacent area I having been secured makes a total of nearly 1,200 acres devoted to the fair. ! Included in the fair grounds are the I buildings and grounds of Washington uni versity valued at $3,000,000. , The principal buildings for the exposi tion are arranged according to a sym metrical plan somewhat in the form of a fan, in the northeastern part of the Forest Park section of the grounds. The prin cipal vista will be that from the main en trance looking southwest some three quarters of a mile to the art palace, which I will crown an eminence sixty feet above I the general level of the main buildings. I This avenue- will be 600 feet wide, and! there will be a transverse avenue 800 feet i in width. Fronting upon these beautiful j avenues will be the manufactures and lib- | eral arts buildings, the educational and social economy buildings, the mines, ma- , chinery, electricity and transportation buildings. These structures vary in size : from seven to fifteen acres in area, A , .broad lagoon encircles two of the most ; central buildings. The palace of art, upon the hill at the southwest, will be a per manent building, and with its by-build ings will cost about $1,000,000. The gen eral style of the buildings is that of the ' renaissance with a liberal use of colon-! nade effects upon all exteriors. The slope from the palace of art to the lagoons will afford an opportunity for cascade effects of a most beautiful character. The gov ernment building and pavilions devoted to special purposes will occupy a position upon the elevation southeast, but con- • - veniently situated with reference to the ' main group of exposition buildings. South- ! ward from the main, group and beyond the < palace of art is a considerable space which ■ will be devoted to state and foreign build- ' ings. Among these will be the Missouri ! building, which is. to be a permanent cdi- ■ nee costing about $300,000. The largest ' building of the exposition wtll be that ' devoted to agriculture and its allied In- i dustrtes, which will stand west of the f ' main group, aad will cover an area of I 1 more than thirty-two acres. The new ', buildings of Washington university, which i stand west of the" main group of build- ( Ings, are nearly ready for occupancy, and i' will be 'the administrative headquarters as N well as serve other purposes. ) i The world's fair will embrace in Its ■ scope every department of human activ- ! lty. The exhibits are divided into the fol- |i lowing main departments: Education and'l social economy, art, liberal arts, manu- ' factures, machinery, electricity, transpor- | ] tation, agriculture and foodvproducts, hor- I ticulture, viticulture and arboriculture,! 1 fish and game, mining and metallurgy^ I' forestry, . anthropology, athletics! j i Throughout all departments, so far as it < - may be done/ the exhibits will show ! processes of manufacture and the de- ( * velopment of the articles displayed. There ' will be numerous complete installations ! : of manufacturing plants, and life and ac- ! < tivity will characterize the exposition, and I( give it an individuality not hitherto pos- I! sessed by world's fairs. < The management of the exposition is in I < the hands of a 'board of ninety-three di- I! rectors representing the financial, profes- ' < sionel, maunfacturlng. mercantile and " railway Interests of St. Louis. The ( president of the company is David R. ' ] Francis, formerly mayor of the city, gov- j < ernor of Missouri, and secretary of the! < Interior, as a member of the cabinet of I 1 President Cleveland. >■ BEAUMONT NEW OIL NEWS. - . mmmmmmmMmmmmmmHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmHmmmmmmmimmMmmm \ ■ NEW HIQH ISLAND NEWS. .-...',-V .

What National Oil Reporter Says About the United States Fuel 01! Co. * ANOTHER PRODUCING OIL COMPANY. Before July Ist, 1901, the United States Fuel Oil Company, »of St. Paul, Minn., •will have a daily capacity in the Beaumont oil field of 225,000 barrels. W. I. Sturm, one of the most reliable drillers in the Beaumont field, has secured the contract for bringing in three guaranteed six-inch gushers for this new com \ pany on their Spindle Top property, in block 32, on Spindle Top avenue. ! This property Is surrounded by the largest producing wells in the Beaumont field; including the Heywood wells, Higgins, Guffey & Galey, Lucas, Beatty, Star and Crescent, National Oil and Pipe Line, Gladys City, Yellow Pine and Hogg- Swain. There is no doubt but the United States Fuel Oil Company, of St. Paul, will have three of the best producing wells in the entire field. This com pany has done more than many other companies, as it has completed arrange ments with the Higgins Oil Company for rights over all its pipe lines, and ar rangements for transportation for all its output. The company's holdings are all held in fee simple, being two lots in Block 82, Spindle Top; 12% acres in the Bullock & Brown survey, adjoining the city limits of Beaumont, 20 acres at Alvln near the Thomas well, 60. acres at High Island, adjoining the depot and near the Big Four well; 10 acres at Sour Lake, near Guffey property; 100 acres in Liberty county; also Lot 1 in Block 3, crown of High Island. Considering Its three guaranteed wells, its valuable Spindle Top property, and its diversified holdings in' outside territory, together with its small capital ization. Its perfect facilities for -handling its oil (made with one of the largest companies in the South) makes this company a much-talked-about business proposition. The officers and directors are among the best known business men in the Northwest and of Beaumont.

The Greatest Spoken Thought of the Nine teenth Century is published for the first time in the ten handsome library volumes of • Modern Eloquence Hon. THOS. B. REED, Editor-in-Chief. After Dinner Speeches About the banquet board, no less than in the forum, great thoughts have been given expression, and policies and parties have been made and unmade. The scintillant repartee of a Choate has quitcd the troubled waters of international comity. Henry W. Grady's "The Race Problem" rent in twain the curtain of sec tionel prejudice. From Gladstone's sonorous periods it is but a few pages to the genial philosophy of Wu Ting Fang; and from the unctious humor of Dr. Holmes to the stren uous Americanism of President Roosevelt. So we get closer to our great men and their thoughts than any written words of theirs permit, and we have spread before us a pan orama of modern life, intimate, full of color, palpitating. Classic and Popular Lectures From the lecture platform masterful men have moulded and fashioned the thoughts and actions of our century. In these lectures we travel dark continents with Stanley, and delve into "The Beginning of Things" with Agassiz. We sit with Carlyle's "Mahomet" and listen to the side-splitting farce of Arte mus Ward while "With the Mormons." We wander through "Westminster Abbey" with Charles Kingsley, and delight in the piquan cies of Andrew Lang's "How to Fail in Literature." We hear Ruskin idealize "Work," and we gain a larger view through Beecher's "The Reign of the Common People," and Robert Collyer's "Clear Grit." As we read Ingcrsoll's great lecture on and rise to the sublimity of Serviss' appreciation of "Napoleon," we marvel not alone at Shakespeare and Napo leon, but a feeling of profound respect is felt for the men who have so lucidly and charm ingly presented to our mental vision the greatest soldier and the greatest playwright of ail times. Or perchance we join Josh Bill ings in his spirit of rollicking humor and find it impossible to decide whether his lecture on "Milk" or Bob Burdette's "The Rise and Fall of the Moustache" is the better. Be we grave or gay, these volumes contain much to the liking—a veritable argosy of riches. Great Addresses Under this head "Modern Eloquence" con tains an unique collection of great addresses by men whose position and achievements have given their utterances the weight of, au thority—men of superb ability and trenchant power. There are considerably over one hundred, each totally different from the other, but with the connecting link of masterful treatment and warm human interest. For instance, we have Philipps Brooks' on "The Character of Abraham Lincoln," and Rufus Choate's im mortal epic "On The Death of Daniel Web ster." We have Henry Van Dyke's "Books, Literature and People," and Newell Dwight Hillis' The Pulpit in Modern Life," Hamilton Wright Mabic tells of " Poe's Place in American Literature," and with fine, broad view Cardinal Manning tells of the "Persecution of the Jews," President Eliot, of Harvard, the " Uses of Education for Business," and Gladstone, that great pillar of the British Empire, tells of " Modern Training for Life," and so on, through volumes filled with the names of those who have spoken the greatest thoughts in the English tongue. The Final Volume (the tenth) is devoted to bright sayings, an ecdotes, reminiscences, and repartee Every means which ingenuity could devise, and splendid resources make possible, has been employed to make this a collection that should be unprecedented. Wise, witty and pithy paragraphs make it one of the most in teresting volumes of the Library. These are the stories of the Congressman and the Mer chant, the Clergyman and the Physician, the Banker and the Diplomat—in y fact, men of all callings, and they have run the gauntlet of a critical editorial inspection. The whole work is supplied with an exten sive and complete analytical, subject, and concordance index. A large portfolio, containing 11 sample full page photogravures and chromatic plates, and 80 specimen pages of brilliant After-Dinner Speeches, Lectures, Ad' dresses, Anecdotes, etc., also price and terms, will be sent on request.
