NOW W. ARE no EXNIBIr.

At meeting of our executive COM
mitteein April plan OF State work was
adopted, which we will try to carry out
as near as possible. 1t was sugguestcd
that one woman from each county be
appointed under the supervision of the
iady managers OF the State, to further
the interest in her part OF the State.
She could also appoint others in each
town, village or community in her coun-
ty for the same purpose. Then we high.
" recommend the organization OF
Worlds Fair clubs in all branches.
Clubs in History, for instance, which
would take up the history OF our county
from its discovery by Columbus, making
special study OF our own State.
Then art clubs should be organ
lied in which the members could make
thorough study OF art from the earliest
ages, become familiar with the lives and
particular style of the different great
artists in order TO contemplate their
works with interest and intelligence.
This club l would particularly recon-
mend to the young ladies. Then the
most important OF all is our auxiliary
club, which looks after the interest OF
our women in general, and by whose
aid our workers will all be represented.
The members should be called upon for
nm initiation iceland q monthly due, so
that with but little from each one n
great good may be done, such as furnish
ing materials for talented women and
girls who could not afford the expense
Themselves. | sincerely hope some Of
our charitable women OF Wheeling will
undertake to organize one OF these clubs.
Then / would urge the teachers to
take great interest in the Worlds Fair.
We will endeavor to have set apart
special DAYS to be called Worlds Fair
days, when the scholars will be in
structed upon that subject. For i'll
stance, the progress OF light from the
pine knot to electricity, machinery and
its progress, history, the life OF Column
bus, art, and dozen other topics which
would greatly interest and instruct the
children, The twelfth day OF October,
1892, should especially be celebrated, as
it will be the quarter centennial Of the
landing of Columbus.
Articles OF any description, | under
stand, may be sold at the Worlds Fair,
but cannot be removed from the build
ing until the close of the fair. In regard
to the clubs | forgot to mention the
Worlds Fair clubs which are now being
organized throughout the different
States which are little savings institu-
tons; so much is paid i'll every week or
month, and by May, 1893, the members
will have saved enough to take trip to
the fair. For instance, il only ten cents
a week is paid in, one would have more
than enough to pay her fare to Chicago
and return, for the railroad fare at that
time WILDE small item on the expense
list. We should all commence to-day
our preparations to visit the Worlds
Fair. A part OF the report OF our COM
mittee on State work reads us follows:
'Wc take great pleasure in bearing to
our several States the welcome news
that in the brain of many good woman
is revolving plan for the erection Of
boarding and lodging houses which,
though cheap, will be respectable; these
plans, il carried out, will enable very
many TO reap the benefits which would
otherwise BIO beyond their reach"
WHERE WE ARE TO EXHIBIT.
did not doubt that you all know the
Worlds Fair is to be held in Chicago
mud will open May ], 1898, but by
"where we are to exhibit" l mean in
which building the women OF our State
can place their work. No one who has
not visited Chicago has any idea Of tho
interest, ambition and push OF that
| great western city. The site Of the lair
