National Commission meets on the
10th, and the lady managers on the
18th. There appears to be n tenn.
porary hitch in connection with the
lady managers. In determining
their number and appointments,
the gallantry of the commissioners
exceeded their judgment and flnan-
oial supply. In other words, there
are moro ladies than is necessary, or
dollars to pay them. Secretary
Windon has called a halt after their
meeting in November, Con-
gress will be asked to provide for
their future expenses. The Com
mittce on fine arts met in New York
October 23d, to arrange for an cx-
hibit of fine arts from Europe and
the Orient. 1t was decided to
await the National Commissioners
meeting November 10th. 1t is ex-
pected Miss Sarah Hollowoll will be
appointed manager of this depart
ment. 1t is proposed by Prof.
Putnam and fayorably consld-
cred by the Commission, to
establish in Chicago " permanent
exhibition of Archaeology and Eth
nology. The Committee on foreign
affairs has adopted Il plan for Span
ish-Amercan Bureau at the Exposi-
ton. W. e. Curtis was appointed

l:sh Il Central Bureau at Washing
ton. 100000 are appropriated for
thIs plrposo by the Directors.
President Harrison will be request
ed to detail officers Of the Army
and Navy TO act as Commissioners
in Central and South America.
This is believed to have been Sccre-
tary Blainc's idea.
u. +. Browns proposition to es-
tablisha Colorado mine on the lake
front has been referred TO the proper
committees with power to act, p.
$. Gilmore, organizer Of the world
renowned "Gilmorcs's Brass Band"
will probably be chosen TO lead the
martial array Of militia aud music
at the grand opening Of the cxposi-
ton. TruIy, the nations OF the
earth will march to the sound OF
America S trumpets The Commits
sioners Of Washington, ID. c., are
giving their attention TO what the
exhibit from that District will be.
1t is proposed TO have a series Of
representations, in picture and
plaster casts, showing the city when
the capitol was located there and
changes to the present time. Also
tie burning of it by the British,
in 1912, and it's subsequent forti6-
cation during the late civil war.
"The Worlds Fair Ministers
Association" is endeavoring to for
mulate plans to secure the closing
Of the Exposition on Sundays.
They will report definitely in De,
cember. Miss Ora i. Miller, OF
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been ap-
pointed one Of the lady managers.
She is one Of the most talented
ladies IN that State, and her selec.
ton is happy one. The head
quarters Of the Worlds Fair bodies
will be in the great Rand & McNal-
/ ly building.
1t ig an acknowledged fact that
all get weary walking to all the de.
partmcnts Of n large exposition.
To avoid this Mr.. +. h. Lewis has q
plan Tor sidewalks, moving SLOWLY
enough so that a person could ster
on and of without trouble. One
could walk along and reach the point
desired in half the time.
The scheme was proposed at Paris
I II is said that from rs to 50 miles
had to be travelled there to see ex
hioits. What next will be pro.
dueed? =? Imagine a city in the next
century With sidewalks moyinl
around the blocks. It will be
/ great age for dudes.
