were Withdrawing Executive Commits
sioner Wyman said to a News reporter
to-day that he thought the matter was
greatly exaggerated. to say the least.
When asked whether the diminution of

said that the wooden and cotton and
machinery exhibitors had their space as
signed in nearly all cases, aud were per-
fectly sai aiisfied with IL.
In regard to the hardware exhibits
there had been some delay. but the com
missioner is in communication with the
chief of the department and is assured
that the space will he issued very soon,
and be does not think that there is any
danger that the applicants wi not get
their space or tnat it will not be equally
and satisfactorily distributed.
Col, Wyman said that he had re-
ceived letter from n man in New York,
who knew him well enough to know that
he would not do anything which WAS not
exactly what he believed was right, and
in the letter the man complained very
much about the distribution or spdc. Tor

that New England has IS per cent OF
the textile manufacturing and Massa-
chusetts has perhaps more than any
other state. The executive commits
sioners OF Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and New Hampshire were
assigned the task of arranging the
space, and it was done on the
basis of the importance of the
industries with which the commissioners
were familiar. The large industries in

that the best interests of ali have been

more judgment in the matter of wearing
apparel than do the moderns," said
Thomas B. Lindsay at the Southern.
"Compare the dress of a Roman Sena-
tor with the haberdashery of a member
OF the American house OF millionaires.
The former was graceful, comfortable,
picturesque; the latter 10 the reverse OF
all these.
"We do not realize how incongruous
and inartistic the modern male costume
is because We have become accustomed
to it. A high silk hat, spike-tailed coat
and baggy trousers constitute our idea
of faultless attire, yet it is sufficient to
give an artist an acute attack OF the mul-
igrubs.
s'Sculptors avoid 1t as they would the
plague; artists frequently resort to gross
anachronisms to get round a combination
which makes man resemble nothing
created by the Almighty and destitute OF
a single line of beauty. We are continu-
ally lecturing the ladies on the subject
of dress, yet they have preserved some
of the beauties and comforts of ancient
costumes, while we have sacrificed them
all and are as proud of it as an Indian
squaw who has traded a buffalo robe for
a second hand pair OF soldier pants.
"Even the extravaganza of male cos
TUNES during the middle ages were in

Of the present. We will probably never
return to the toga of the Romans or the
