wORLD,S FAIR NOTES.

Youth OF All Nations.
Connecticut is to make good showing
/ the worlds fair, as indicated by the en-
,rprise already evinced by SO many of our
oted manufacturing establishments, and
, other ways.
Senator D. NJ. Read of Bridgeport was
cen by reporter yesterday afternoon and
aid that the Connecticut buildings at the
'orld's fair grounds were being rapidly
ompleted. Senator Read as chair
aan Of the building committee visited the
rounds with the architect last Friday and
ails. The psnelling of tho lower hall In
Id colonial style, according to the wishes
It the ladies' commission, was also attended |
10.
The water supply, sewerage and electric
lights received proper attention, and 1t Is
believed that the Connecticut buildings
will be among the finest there. Yesterday
Senator Read received from the chairman
of the supervisory committee formal ap-
proval of all the arrangements made by the
Connecticut directors.
The objects of historical value and inter-
est which will be shown at the worlds fair
will be legion. 1t Is safe to say that the col
lection will be ten times as numerous a.
has ever been witnessed in one place be-
fore. The Columbus relics alone will be
majority of tho important portable remind
ers of the famous explorer. They will be
brought from Spain, Italy, Rome, the West
midas, and other widely separated parts
of the earth. Every department, almost,
of the great exposition will have its relics
on view-old records, portraits, Machines
models, inventions, etc., each having his
torical interest, or marking stage of
progress In its own line. Particularly
numerous will be these historical exhibits
from the United States. Almost every
state will contribute to the number some
thing which will be viewed with interest
because of it's history or associations.
One of the best contributions will be
shown by Pennsylvania, the collection be-
ing furnished mainly from Philadelphia
under the auspices of a committee of its
city council. Among the objects in this
collection are the following: The chair

| Provision has been made for the holding
in Chicago at the time of the worlds fai
of congress composed of youths of al
nations of the world. Delegates will b
sent, it is expected, from England, Japan
France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Spain
Austria, Italy, Russia and countries of tn
orient. These young men are to be select
school grades. Their ages are to range be
tween thirteen and twenty years. N
| worlds fair congress has been thus far al
ranged for, it is thought, which will exoit
| more interest than this project.
The idea is to get from each country nc
more than from fifteen to forty or fit
t students. All told, 1t is intended to hav
: 5000 at the congress, and q special con
, , mittee has been appointed to SEQ thu
proper encouragement is lent to induce a
tendance. The preliminary address of
, special committee has been issued by A. F
!; Nightingale, chairman, and F. F. Bills
| secretary.
p President Bonney of the Worlds Co,
| gress auxiliary says that the topics di
{ cussed will touch neither upon religio
nor politics. His idea is to gather
Chicago next year representative assen
| bly, of the educated youths of all coup trie

y educators of the age who may be

such a congress is embraced In tho follo1
