The preliminary work in connection
with the Midwinter Exposition is being
pushed with tireless and relentless energy.
TIE cordial cooperation of the masses of
the people is proving a great incentive TO
the projectors. Every hour swells the
subscription lists.
The retail dealers, their clerks and the
artisans, mechanics and the laboring
classes are giving with an open hand.
There is nothing mean about them. IN
some eases the money subscribed repre-
sents the last dollar in meager purse, and
is only parted with at the cost of con-
siderable personal sacrifice. The example
set by this class Of donors. it is believed.

tagion OF enthusiasm into the offices and
strong vaults Of those among the wealthy
people who have been holding back their
subscriptions. 1t remains now only for
the rich and prosperous merchants and
capitalists and landowners 20 put their
shoulders to the big wheel when the neces-
sary half million dollars will be forth

ance of complete success.

ally expressed. This is that the fame OF
the California Nidwinter Exposition. once
Irumpeted throughout the country, VIII

not only prove disastrous to those who
would come hither with the object OF OBJ
tanning work, but would also aggrayate
the condition OF the thousands of work
iugmen now looking for employment In
San Francisco. The managers Of the ex-
position will have all that they can do TO
provide work for those who have their
homes in this city, il they succeed, as they
hope to- IN raising the needed funds.
For The protection of the unemployed
among the inhabitants of San Francisco,
their names are being registered in the Of
der in which they make application for
work. This will effsctualy put up the
bars against those who are preparing to
come TO San Francisco with the expecta-
tiGn that gigantic enterprise like the pro-
posed Midwint-r Exposition will create a
demand for their labor. Only those me-
chauicS and laborers who now reside here

with the exposition. This declaration
cannot be TOO strongly emphasized nor too
widely circulated by the newspapers Of
other towns aud cities.
