CRAwFoRDsvILLE IND, Sept. 2l.-ln
compliance with II request from Cover
| ror Hendricks, Professor'J Ohm l.. Camp
I bell, secretary of the United States CEN
| tennial commission, delivered an address
| here tonight, to large audience, pre-
sided over by Colonel Henry 5. Lane.
The first part of the address WIS devoted
to the development of the idea that this
/ exhibition derives its Importance from
its international character that it is pc
| culiarly an exhibition of the progress
made within the century, by the English
/ speaking race, in art, science, invention
and manufacture. This, anlike any pre-
vious worlds exposition, showing sPeciti-
cally the improvements of the century.
1t will bca comparative exhibit between
conditions of life in l716 and 1875. The
worlds OF these two days are totally un-
! like. Then there were no labor-savlng
/ inventions; thought moved sluggishly;
| transportation and communication were
tedious and slow. Steam and electricity
! had not been harnessed and brought un-
/ der subiection to man. Who then could
have contemplated the conditions Of to-
! day, when communications are sped
around the world in few minutes time,
and people and newspapers and mails
are transported thousand miles IN II
| hours. He then gave description ofthe
| buildings and illustrating by diagrams
! showing the geographic and systematic
arrangement of the display and horticul-
tural hal in which the rarcst plants OF
the world are being placed, and it is be-
| lieved that botanlSts will be able to study
there next year the flora of the world.
He dwrlt upon the importance of agr;-
! cultural display, and the extent of NC
c1mmodationS for il. In reference 10 the
construction of buildings, he especially
cnmplimentcd Philadelphia for its mag
/ niicrnt librraity. Tie total number Of
! buildings constructed, will reach one hum
drcd, covering fully one hundred OF the
| five hundred acres OF ground.
The buildings are to be constructed
to meet the demands upon them. The
Foreign Governments have applied for
more than all the space, but England,
instead Of being jealous and he.itating,
is most cordially cooperating and de-
manding double the space allotted 10 her.
The United States is the only laggard,
and there are evidences Of rapidly grow
my interest here.
\ Local Committee was appointed TO
secure II proper representation OF the
county.
