WORK OF MAINE WOMEN FOR TINE WORLDS
FAIR.
What They Can Do.

Miss Eva A. Pareher, the capable see
rotary Of the Maine Board of Worlds
Fair Managers. has taken deep interest
in the progress and development of the
Woman's department No woman in the
State should fail to read the following
communication regarding the department
IL tie Hosa,n Of Maine:
What will the Women of Maine
40 for the Columbia Exposition:
80 many inquiries are constantly being
made in regard TO women's work at the
exposition, and what the women of our
State are doing or going TO do. The
notable feature wherein the Worlds
Columbian Exposition differs from any
previous worlds fair, is the prominence
given to women in its management. The
act of Congress authorizing the holding Of
the Exposition, also created board of lady
managers, consisting of two members with
alternates from every state and territory
eight members and alternates at large and
nine from the city of Chicago.
We are par,ionably conscious of feel
ing of pride in this first recognition of Con-
gress To give women equal rights and inter
tNAs III tfif -iftt mere wa bt
separate exhibit of wUmen's work there
could not practically be any distinction
where mems and women's work rank side
by side in all the interests and all the pro-
fessions.
In the womans building there will be Il
showing of such things as women are par
ticularly interested in, and which do not
probably belong to the general competitive
classification. Every department of the
entire exposition will be as open to women
as To men.
We are anxious for the women of out
State 10 make a crelitablc exhibit, and
am sure we shall succeed with combined
efforts and hearty corporation, without
which We can make but little progress.
Many will say, I'VE can do nothing, this
applies to ladies who have both time aud
ability" But stop Il moment and consider
the list of industries and professions unmis
taxable capabilities, and talents of which
you are hardly aware will result in both aid
aud support.
THIS is grand opportunity for women
to show to the world what an immense
factor she is becoming, not only in the in
lustrial world but essentially i'll the arts
of peace and progress. To her belong the
deeds of charity and philanthropy, supple
mented by the standard which eleyates and
purifies mankind
The following list of industries and pro-
LESSONS may help you to decide what to do
Drawing, etching. painting pottery, needle
work home decorations. wood-caryng, in
ventions, journalism, the management of
associations, and institutions benevolent
and industrial.
We solicit your interest and any plans or
suggestions will BE- most gratefully re-
ceived. Let u see to ii that the women of
the Pine Tree State make an exhibit that
shall be both credit and an honor, that in
the future we may not have cause 10 blush

COMING TO OUR WORLDS FAIR.
Europe Preparing Lots Of Things Worth See.
ing for the Big Show.

LoNDoN, June 9.-The Cunar,! steam
ship company and Laird's Shipbuilling
Works have decided 10 send exhibits to the
Chicago fair. The Fairtelds have not
made up their minds, but will very likely
make similar display. The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company have sent Il
representative over here to examine and
prepare model, of everything in the Kcns-
ington museum relating to railways. They
propose to make an exhibit at the fair show
ing the history of railways from the begin
ming TO the present time. kensington is
rich in such material. and an interesting show
is likely to be made.
The Northwestern and the Midland two
of the most important English railways
have promised to send exhibits to the fair
The Great Eastern and the Great Northern
are still considering the matter.
Mr.. Mccormick, resident commissioner
for the fair. is negotiating with Engineer
Baker for the original model of the great
Forth bridge
From information supplied by the British
Museum it is now considered doubtful that
the Vaticans Diego Ribero map of what
was supposed to be early America is the
original. 1t is believed that the original is
in the possession of the Duke of Sake
Welmar Mr.. Mccormick asked the Duke
to lend the map for the fair hut he declined
to allow the precious relic to pass out Of
his hands. \ copy of the map was made
in 1850 and it is probably this one which is
in the Vatican collection.
Germany is preparing to lend many
objects of interest for exhibition at the
fair, but insists npon dealing only with the
Government of the United States. evidently
not thinking it proper to trust the articles
conce rncd to private parties.
In consequence of numerous complaints
of various heartless swin,lles perpetratcd
by sharpers who use the name of the fair
for the purpose of imposing upon gulliblc
persons, Sir Henry Wood, chairman of the
British commission, has written the news
papers cautioning the public against spur
ious fair agents. He especially utters a
warning against one firm which have car
ried on very bold game of this kind, and
one of whose members is now under arrest
on q charge of obtaining money under false
pretences. The firm advertised its ability
to secure situations in connection with the
exposition, and received advance deposits
from many applicants. There is reason to
believe that there are many such fraudulent
concerns operating not only in England but
all over the continent. and making a good
deal of money thereby.

The officials of the mon Mutual Life
ara inclined to account for this large in
crease of their business in the idea that
the Hay for the smaller and more conserv-
alive companies has arrived. cur view
is: That in the past ''the dread of for
fixture" has been the worst drawb back
against life insuring. and therefore the
splendid and most satisfactory record made
by the Union Mutual Life the last l., years
in protecting its policy holders for uuprece-
denied long terms against forfeiture from
inability to continue 10 pay premiums, is,
year after year. becoming more gen.
orally known among life agents. sole
itors aud the ipsuriny public, and
in their appreciation of this record
dispeliag this dread of forfeiture" in
life insurance. not only has there resulted
this large increase in the business of the
company these few years past, but that as
the non-forfeiture features of the Union
Mutual policies become still more uniyer-
sally known. there will follow still greater
ratios of increase in the transactions of this
organization in future Philadelphia Intel
