cede to the Committees Demands
The executive committee of the State
Board of Agriculture yesterday decided
mon an answer to the Labor day COM
mittee concerning the work at the State
fair grounds. The board promises that in
case il is compelled to cancel any of the
present contracts it will then employ none
but union men. The work as already let,
however, must continue. as it is hey ond the
boards power to interfere without I'M
periling the completing of the buildings
in time for the State fair 1t was
decided that If the board shonld order
work suspended On Labor day at the fair
grounds it could not hold the contrac tors TO
their agreement under forfeiture. TO finish
the work al a certain time. 1t is suspected
that some OF the contractors would be glad
of such loop hole to AVOID the chances or
. forfeiture. The committee released the
labor-day committee on grounds from the
contract for the rent of the grounds on
Labor day.
The Labor-day committee accepted the
release from the contract, and at once
secured Garfield Park. Armstrong; Park

those Ia conference was Supreme Justice
Somerey, who arrived yesterday In the

According to recent writer who has
been there, the native women of India
seem to array themselves mostly in
jewelry and modesty. He says: .'Ths
Indian lady is loaded down with silver
and gold jewelry and precious stones.
Her ears have many rings in them,
some so large that they reach her
shoulders. Next comes the nose, with
rings large enough for . bracelet Oc-
casionnlly the lips arc also ornamcnted.
Then she has several necklaces Of cost
" pearls, armlets, wristlets, and
anklets and innumerable rings on most
of the fingers and toes. including tho
THUMBS and great toes. An Indian
lady's jewelry was weighed on one oc-
casion and it was found to turn the
scales at thirty-five pounds. The con-
ventionsl dress for ladies consists OF .
piece of silk or gorgeously colored cot
ton about five yards long and half
yard wide. This is wrapped about tho
body in tho following way: One end il
circ.ed round tho waist once or twice,
then the remainder is thrown over the
left shoulder, leaving the right breast.
both arms. and legs bare. The cloth
reaches nearly to her knees. 1t may
thus be seen that she is well dressed
for the purpose of displaying her orna-
ments and comfortabl dressed for ths
climate"
