Worlds Eair Notes.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-IllinoiS proposes to
be represented at the Worlds fair on so
elaborate Il scale as to render it unneces-
sary for visitors to consult their diagrams
in order to learn where the exhibit of the
Sucker state is located or how best it can
be reached. Ten acres of ground at Jack
son park is the size of the modest demand
of the state board of agriculture, under
the auspices of which body the appropria-
ton to be granted by the legislature will
be expended. Whether it will get that
amount of space is another question.
Considering, however, the elaborate char
acter of the collective exhibit that the
board has committed to paper, and pro-
poses to carry through unless insurmount-
able obstacles present themselves, it is fair
to assume that the committee on grounds
will not be disposed toward a niggardly
course. There are no less than eight dis
tinctive features of the proposed Illinois
display. One of these is q fireproof memo
rial hall, to be filed with historical relics
and trophies of public interest. Then
there is hall of natural science, to con-
tain an elaborate fish exhibit, together
with collections which will illustrate to the
eye the archaeology and natural history of
to the products of the soil, including
grasses, fibers and cereals, and superb
display of horticultural products. In the
educational department it is proposed to
have d model common school room of
high grade, fully equipped and furnished
and completely illustrating the methods
and results of educational work, together
with large exhibit of the educational and
industrial work of the inmates of the char
liable institutions supported wholly or in
part from the state treasury.
Another hall for the display of archi-
| tectural drawings of every public building
OF note in the state, with maps and charts
! showing the topography and geology, and
other physical features of each county; a
large pavilion, to be used as retreat and
resting place for guests and visitors, and
headquarters for the executive, judicial,
legislative, educational, agricultural, hor.
ticultural and military departments, and
for the Grand Army of the Republic, with
ample reception halls, offices and other
ccnveniences, go to complete the most
elaborate plan for an individual state ex-
hibit that has yet been mooted or devised
State pride is being aroused in many
parts of the country to degree that is
highly gratifying. Governor Jones, OF
Alabama, is penning stirring message to
the legislature of his state suggesting the
| propriety of an ample appropriation for
| the credit of that state. The recent Inter.
state immigration convention at Asheville
| the delegates to which were men OF
wealth, ability and prominence from six
teen southern states, unanimously adopted
resolutions declaring that it was of SUI
preme Importance that full and exhaust.
i've exhibit of southern resources and adj
vantages should be made. In far off Chey.
enne bill las gone to second reading ap
propriating $50, 900 for Wyoming's exhibit
Delegates from all parts of Texas, in con.
vention specially called to consider the sub
| ject, decided to demand of the legislature
an appropriation OF no less figure than
| S1,000,000. Colorado proposes to have q
granite building with asolidsilver arch, and
for the latter So, 900 will be voted Other
states also are doing much.
