The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-01-10

but q very bright one, and the men con-
nected with the exposition are much inter-
ested In her work. Another very bright
girl who is doing work on the building IS
Miss Yarneil of Kentucky. She is soulp-
tor Of the caryatides that adorn each en-
trance, and she is rapidly finishing her work
upon them. The woman's building OF the
worlds fair is gong along faster than any
of the others. All work connected with it is
competitive, and the women show them
selves to be good managers as well as good
workers"
''IF hat Is the District of Columbia doing
for the fair, Mrs. Logan?' | asked.
1.-The ladies of the District Of Columbia
and of Washington cannot do much for the
| reason that we have no local manufactures
| or business industries here, but the govern
ment will make fine display and there will
be something in the way Of art and charity.
don't believe you will find anywhere so
many charitable institutions as there
are in this ten miles square. Mrs.
President Harrison has given bright
example to the fashionable world here
! in devoting her time to the study of paint
ing, and the ART circle Of Washington is
yearly broadening. We have many artists
| here who will have pictures at the worlds
fair, and we will show what our schools and
universities are doing in intellectual and
physical culture among the girls and the
boys"
CoLORED PEOPLE AND THE EXPOSITION.
''By the way, Mrs Logan" said 1, "the
c,lored people seem to think that the
lady managers have not treated them
right"
'This is not So" replied Mrs. Logan.
THE colored women have been placed on
the same footing as others in connection
with the fair, and they have been treated
WITH equal Difference. The whole trouble
arose from the action of delegation OF
colored women who called upon the
national committee and demanded that a
sum of money be placed at their disposal
This was refused upon the ground that he
committee mad no individual funds for
special classes, and tbey were referred to
the state board, in accordance with the
regulations. Our committee accepted them
upon a common footing with white women,
and it was to this equality that
they took exception They claim
that they should have represent
alive officers upon tine board, and my re-
quest that the commissioners should give
them q special requisition was voted down.
| think, on the whole, however" concluded
Mrs Logan, ''that the ladies are doing
very we'll In connection with the worlds
fair. Ii is true we have had annOyances
which have kept back the work, but the
different states have helped it, and Illinois
alone gave $4,000 toward the woman's
building There is one thing, however, that
l would like to say. and that is as to the
character of the women who are pushing
the worlds fair work, They are free from
the extreme views Of that class usually
ranked as strong minded. The combined
sentiment of them seems to be the eDcour-
ageinent of talents, and of the fuTtherinR Of
woman's interests aside from any assocla-
ton Of woman's rights.
MRS. LoCKwooD's LECTURES.
A curious feature of the preparation for
the worlds fair is a set of lectures to be de-
livered by Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, one OF
the national com mittee, to illustrate the
work of women in all parts OF the world
The profits Of these lectures are to be used
to defray the expenses of young women
from each state to attend the worlds fair
who would otherwise be unable 10 go to
Chicago. These women are to be women
workers and women who have exhibits, and
the Young woman to be sent from w flashing
ton from the funds is Miss Jenny Stephen,
chose artistic merit is well known here and
whose tapestry work is especially beautiful.
Mrs. Lockwood's lectures are accompanied
nv microscopic views. and are to be given
in the largest cities of the union. l talked
With Mrs lockwood last night about the
the fair. She said:
"Our idea is not to set up the work Of
woman in opposition to that OF man as
many people think. We want our exhibits
TO be- united with that of the men. Harriet
Hosmer, for instance, does not go to the
