The current number of the Elite
News, of Chicago, has great deal to say
OF the work Minnesota women are do
ing for the worlds fair. giving incident
ally an admirable portrait and sketch
of Mrs. f. B. Clarke. Of her report to
Mrs. Palmer the News says:
Mis-. Clarke reported to Mrs. Palmer
the thorough organization of the work
i'll ADMINISTRATIONS. by means Of the
careful use of system, not only the
best women i'll the cities, but those in
small villages. as we'll as the wives of
Isolated farmers, had been put in touch
with the purposes and broad principles
of the great exhibition. Because of this
general intelligence on the subject, Mrs.
Clarke reported that great interest was
being taken in the work, and she though
that. while the newer and Western state
which she represented cOuil not at
tempt t0 compete in many things with
Eastern and older states, it will make a
good stand and reflect creditably its ira
ditionS and past in interesting contrast
with Its growth and present.
The exhibit in 'philanthropic work"
would, she believed, be an eXtraOrdi-
nary one, and that pertaining to ''edu-
cation" exceedingly important nd con-
vincing. Miss Sybil Carter is in charge
of the Indian exhibit of the state. Miss
Carter's efforts in behalf of the anchor
alton of the condition of Indian women
are well and successfully known, espe-
cially the Introduction by her among
them OF lace making and industries
such as engage the Irish women. The
tepeeS which were once the dwellings
of these native Americans will be
shown, as we'll as their customs,
dress, etc, in suggestive contrast
with the homes many of them now
| occupy in that state, and the handicap
many there now produce. Similar treat
ment will be given the cOlOred women
in the state; the college graduate, the
| graduate Of a musical conservatory or
the working woman among them Will
have equal chance with any. to evidence
ability or skill.
The women of Southwestern Mime
sofa are very anxious to make an exhibit
from the stone quarrieS in their section.
The natural pipeStOne, sandstone and
red rock Will be sennt, as well as stone
| carved by Indians and white men. The
exhibit is a most interesting one.
After many requests from all quar-
tiers. the women in charge have decided
| to ask that room in the Minnesota
building be devoted to the Indian eX-
hibit. It is to be furnished with articles
of Indian manufacture, mating, bead
and bark work, ETC., and will prove pict-
| ureSQue.
Mrs. C. A. Severance is making a
most exhaustive study of the Indian
legends, of which Minnesota furnishes
so large a number. The richest field
| tor such work is in this state, and the
| movement has awakened so much in-
| terest that the Chicago Folk Lore sOcl-
| ETY. has already asked to be allowed to
| publish the Legendary Indian lore which
| is prepared for the worlds fair.
Mrs. Charles FurnesS and Mrs. Rus
sci Dorr are busily preparing circular
| which is to be sent out from the COM
mittee on music in few days. A great
deal of material for work in this commit
| tee has already been discovered.
Archbishop Ireland has. written to the
| Minnesota Woman's organization ex-
pressing his approval OF the work and
offering to lend all the assistance in his
power to aid in the success OF tue under
| taking.
The receipts at the hiring fair at
Fairoaks on Thursday amounted to
| $1,000.
