Her Building One of the Most Unique at
the Fair.
The Chicago Tribune gives an interest
ing account of the New jersey Building
at the Chicago Fair
New jersey will have one of the most
unique Worlds Fair State DEPARTMENTS
at jackson Park. The State Board will
reproduce in part Washingtou's head
quarters in Morristow n during the win
Ter of 1779-S0. The New Jersey Building
will not be a fac smile of this historical
structure, but its main features have
been chiefly modelled after it by Archi-
tect Charles A. Clifford, of Newark. In
adopting a historical building for It's de-
sign New Jersey has followed in the wake
of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Of
which the one Will have the old John
Hancock residence and the other a repro
duction of Independence Hall at Phila-
delphia.
New Jersey people think they have done
a patriotic thing in selecting Washing
toms headquarters. They say that it wa
there Alexander Hamilton lived during
the long Winter OF 1779, and that there he
met the lady whom he afterwards
married. In addition, celebrated men,
Steuben, Kosciusko, Schuyler. Light
Horse" Harry Lee, Israel Putnam, Mae
Anthony" Wayne and Benedict Arnold
nave all been beneath its roof.
The building will be used as h%eadquar-
tiers for the New Jersey Commissioners
and will be a place were every one from
that State will meet his friends, register
his address and receive his letters. 1t is.
in fact, to be Jersey headquarters. Ste
phen j.. Meeker, President of the New
Jersey State Board, and Walter S..
Lenox, Secretary, have been in Chicago
for the last ten days to look after the
New Jersey exhibits in the State Build
ing. 1t will be used for club house pur-
poses and the convenience of all New
Jersey people.
Ther will be large and inviting piazzas
on the front and rear. The main entrance
will open into a large assembly hall two
stories high, with a circular balcony look
ing down from the secoud story. This
hall will contain a postofice, a hat and
coat counter, a large open fireplace nearly
ten feet wide, and a main stair way lead
ing to The second story. On the right
side OF the building will be located the
rooms set apart especially for women
These apartments consist of a general
meeting room and two parlors. On the
left are the roorns set apart for men. the
Secretary's office, the Presidents room,
etc.
The building will cost approximately
$35, 900. Messrs. Meeker and Lenox will
appear before the New Jersey State Leg
~islature next week to ask for 100000 in
addition TO the $4,000 already appropri-
ated. Mr.. Lenox said that a bronzs
statue of Washington would be erected
in front of the New Jersey Building. 1t
is to be a model of one to be placed on the
site of the battle of Trenton.

DIR BROWNS DISCOURSE.
DR.. Brown delivered the annual SER
mon. The doctor first congratulated the
managers andthe city upon the excel
lence of the report of the hospital. He
selected for his text a portion of ST. Paul's
Epistle 10 the Ephesiaus, iii, II: "That
Christ may dwell in your heart" The
sermon Was u polished aud finished ar
gument to prove that people to have faith
must have the Divine spirit in their
hearts. The heart, the preacher contend
ed, was the seat OF all impulses whether
good or bad. He said that faith was dlf-
fcult to understand except when 1t had
been experienced. Thai nan was willing
enough to believe in anything tangible,
or OIL winch ne naQ b knowledge OIL
by experience, but 1t was difficult to
convince him that something not tangible
exists. DR.. Brown said that in u hui
mar faith we lave tue moral and physi-
al tests. the human side is the oper-
alton of reason, which is brought about
by mental and physical efforts, n on
the other side was the divine side, from
which, through prayer, comes fait b.
Hidden truths could not be understood
by the human side. for they were beyond
reason, they were infinite, aud human
power is limited to reason aud things
Unite. To be able to appreciate or under
stand those truths which are hidden to
reason, one must have faith, and that
could only enter the heart tnrouXh prayer
and the grace of Christ.
BISHOP sTARKEY's APPROVAL.
Bishop Starkey made a few remarks
after DR.. Brown had f1ni shed. The
Bishop said:-''It is proper for the Bishop
of this diocese to be present at an occa-
sion such as this. and by his presence ex-
press his approval. MY heart is much in
this work, and these are the reasons
that caused me 10 be will Won to",oh'.

LOAN EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS.

The Loan Exhibition of Paintings and other
works of art to be opened Monday evening next,
in the new building Of the American Fine Arts
Society. promises to be an important event. The
idea of making a display that would give the
lover of art and general public an opportunity of
viewing some of the treasures possessed by
American collectors was mooted in the fall OF
1891. when 1t was proposed TO hold such
an exhibition in the Madison Square
Garden. 1t was found, however. that the cost
of reconstructing the Garden in such a fashion
as to make it available for such purpose would
be excessive. AT this j%uncture. Mr.. George W.
Vanderbilt generously came forward, ana al
vanced the sum necessary to build the mag
nIficent gallery which is to be known as The
George W. Vanderbilt Gallery" Upon its
completion. Mr.. Vanderbilt made his loan an
absolute gift to the American Fine Arts Society.
The gallery is an exact reproduction OF the
famed Galerie Georges Petit. in the rue de Sea-.

THERE are too many fads and fam

rage for practical" training has run
to ridiculous extremes. So much
time and money are spent on such
atrocious humbug as wood carving

come out of school without knowing
how to spell or read or fgure-still
more, of course, without being able
to carve wood or model in clay.

CHICAGO, August Il, 1893.

CHICAGO, August Ii, 1873.
Editor CITIZEN:
The CITIZEN is to bs congratulated on
the good work it is doing in exposing
the complete failure of the Arizona ex-
hiblt at the exposition to either attract
or interest attention. Of al the ex-
hibits made by other territories and
states it is the most thorough izzle.
There is not single feature in it of
sufficient prominence to have thus far
attract d a favorable notice f'om the
general pres or pubic. 1t is behi8d all
other exhibits in it's inarity. After one
has gotten over his first feelings of
disgust and disappointment on viewing
it bis next tendency Is to wonder
where and how the $4,000 of the peo-
pies money have been expeEd ed
whether it was simply wasted.
In the entire display there is nothing
to show that Arizona has eve- produced
anything except e rattleSnBke and
ceutus with which it is usually ac-
credited, while the so-callsd territorial

impression OF poverty and failure that
pervades the entire showing. For
territory striving fer statehood and
try ing to interest capital t would have
been far better If 10 effort had been
made toward making an exhibit.
Even the mucn-yauntaG relief map
showing, according t. he Star, how
Arizona was TO be made f. blossom like
the rose by water storage, etc, for
which eastern parties offered sons $4,000
toward in the interest of archolaogy,
and which a: one time promised ID De
one of the greatest attractions Of The
entire exposition, is nos t be found,
fact that leads one to wonder whether
the $1,000 have gone in the same
direction IS the t9rritory's $4,000
went.
10 the interest of the taxpayers OF
ArlzoDa there should be some means of
showing the why ana wherefore of this
condition OF affairs.
