Of organizing a department of woman's
work, to be placed with the other Minnesota
exhibits at the worlds exposition, was held
at Curtis hall, Minneapolis, yesterday at 1880
O'Clock a. m. In the absence of Gov. Hub
bard, president of the board, Col. Sam E.
Adams, treasurer, called the meeting to order
and Hon. Oliver Gibbs, Jr., secretary of the
board, stated the object of the meeting and
spoke at length upon the great importance
of our state being well represented at the
coming worlds exposition, after which he
announced the appointment of Mrs. Isabelle
c. Marston, of Minneapolis, superintendent
of the department of woman's work, which
was received with hearty applause. Mr.. D.
Z. Bailey, of Minneapolis, superintendent Of
manufacturing and mechanical exhibits for
this state, was chosen secretary for the de-
partment of womens work.
Mr.. Gibbs stated that the state board had
on hand about $4,000 Tor ex-
penses in procuring exhibits and caring
for them, and that they expected to
raise $4,000 more. He therefore urged es-
pecial care to be given every portion of the
state, not only for the sake of making
good exhibit from Minnesota, but to have
every portion of the state equally represented
and in order to do so he extends general
invitation to everybody to contribute any
thing which they think would tend towards
making up a creditaqle display, and also to
assist The various superintendent as much
as possible, so that when our exhibit is placed
along beside the other state exhibits in the
exposition building it will show to the world
what our state is capable of producing, and
that in comparison she stands equal to any
state in the Union.
