Indiana exhibit made the following state
ment:
in the Womsn's Department, IL ia 10 be
regretted there Is not thing IN place. For
awhile there WIS mao, few pictures hung
bias, and no ons 70 tell the passing stranger
thar Indiana had any Won en-"
In view of the facts that the Indiana ex-
hibit was the first IN place in the Woman's
Department.; That il compares favorably In
quality with EXHIBITS from other States; that

OF hne aod decorative arr work from Miss

Leet OF this city, Miss Cora Campbell, OF
Danvfle Miss Matthews, of Arlington, Miss
Chandler. OF Richmond, Miss Clara DeWolf,
of Nincennes, and others; that no portrait
in the Womar's Department has received
warmer praise from visitors than that OF
Bishop Talbot by Mrs. Ingraham, aud that

During the recent visit OF the Indiana come
missioIers to the Exposition, som
decorations and supplies were purchased

show cases and paintings, and Mrs. Judah
added a collection OF charcoal sketches.
There are times when words fail, when
hating expression is more eloquent than
polished rhetoric or flushed verse. In the
hrst desolation following an irrepsrable loss
no adequate tribute can be paid to genius
ard worth, though at no time are they more
tenderly appreciated To those who knew
her, nothing need b5 added TO the simple en-
noupcemert that on Wednesday last Mrs
Kettle Alton Morrison 'ioined the choi
invisible"
For years Mrs. Morrison was a contribute
TO q number of leading newspapers and mag
ezires. She published one book
My Summer in the Kitchen a ii
tie which unfortunately gave litti
indication of the subtle insight, delicate
humor and quaint philosophy within. AL
though her literary attachments were recog-
nized all over the West. her work has not
won the prominence that it merits. She
underestimsted its value, and never sought
20 give it prominence. As writer of yigor-
Gus prose and exquisite verse she had no
superior among the women authors in this
State, yet inferior minds have claimed ap.
pause where she but submitted her Offering
IN modest silence. Her greatest fame is yet
to come. If. as is 20 DE hoped. her poems
and prose are GO be rescued from the drift of
transient literature. and with tee unp1o-
lisbed writings she has left behind, pus in
permanent book form, there will be given to
her genius a much more generous mesd OF
praise than he's yet been offered
At an early date we hope to give In these
columns a sse tch OF Mrs. Morrison's life.
