Worlds Fair
Letter.

rfrom Our Special Correspondent. ]
CHICAGO, IL July Is, 1898.
The Louisiana State Building is
ut the north end Of Jackson Park,
second In that picturesque row
which faces the Fine Arts Palace.
Side by side with the imposing
Pennsylvania mansion, It holds it,
own, extending broad verandas in
comfortable Southern welcome to
the sight-ssers seeking hospitality.
The trees shading It are grey with
Louisians hanging moss. It is
built Of native woods, Of which the
r,oh tones contrast delightfully."- with
the filling Of cool grey stucco. A
broad, deep entrance hall is sup.
piled with easy chairs and lounges.
The walls are hung with portraits,
one side being devoted to the Gov
ernors Of the State. To the right
is tastefully furnished reception
room, where Mrs. Bond and Miss
Christie, Of New Orleans, extend .
cordial welcome to visitors.
A staircase Of beautifully polish.
ed cypress leads from the hall be-
low to . similar one above. There
one finds many more characteristic
articles Of furniture from Louisiana
homes, rich in such quaint relics.
There are treasures Of old China
ware and pottery, and showcases
filed with curious manuscripts,
Confederate money and antiquities.
The picture gallery adjoining makes
. creditable showing Of the artistic
productions Of the State. Sir.
Woodward's fine portraits, Miss
Wilde's conscientious oils. and Mrs.
William SaxOn's charming water
color sketches are the pictures that
are best worth noting.
To Northerners an attractive fea-
ture Of the building is the weaving
exhibit. presided over by Madame
Theriot. The quaint loom where
she sits weaving cotton blankets is
over 100 years old. A spinning
wheel which whirls merrily under
the guidance Of . young woman in
blue gown and white kerchief boasts
seventy five years Of age. Samples
Of their making gay-colored blan-
kets, striped ''Evangeline' cush-
ions. and articles Of wearing appa.
rel are piled around the room.
A voluminous register near the
entrance door records the visits Of
many Louisiana friends. From
Covington We notice the names OF
Judge Jas. n. Thompson, Mrs.
Delauo and Mrs. Connolly.
