IL has been found difficult to harmon.
lze the many conflicting portraits of
Columbus. There was more trouble
over these than in hanging the big
canvases in the chapel below. From,
every quarter of Spain and italy Mr..
Curtis has collected multitude of in.
teresting pictures. A quaint print of
a fanciful creation of one of Columbus
sailors is hung in cell. The sailor
told his friends of the monster fish to
be seen in the new seas. They were
so large, he recited, that mass could be
said on their backs. The picture
shows fearful fish resting quietly ON
the top OF the waves, with an altar on
its back at which mass is being cele-
brated for the benefit of the sailors
who have landed from the ship that
rests in notch on the tail of the liy-
ing monster.
Pope Leo NH has also sent two
busts. one of Pope Alexander VI and
one of Gregory XIV. Near these is a
statuette of Columbus, while standing
close by in an homogeneous fashion is
a rude Indian wood carving. found on
the site of the first battle fought by
Columbus. In another cell is a native
drum, fashioned out of followed
tree.
Altogether about $50 paintings,
prints, photographs and sepia draw
ings have arrived at the convent of la
Rabida, and Mr.. Curtis hopes to hang
them all in a few days. He has ran
sacked Europe and the West Indies
thoroughly for his treasures. The
valuable manuscripts and literary
treasures concerning Columbus are un-
packed, ready for those visitors who
may care to know in what manner the
great discoverer's name and achieve
ments were handed down to posterity

ranged and well situated on the east
ern shores of the lagoon, Immediately
opposite the Esquimau village. The
appropriation made by the State for
the Columbian Exposition was cut
down to the minimum by the Legisla-
ture, and consequently the efforts of
the State Board of Managers have been
concentrated toward comprehensive
exhibit within this building rather
than to an elaborate display in each of
the departments in which the State is
entitled to enter its many and varied
products. Even with this North Da-
kota is represented by thirteen sepa-
rate and distinct exhibits.

crossing at this building, you will OBJ
serve, quite as well as might be ex-
pected, when the intricacies, details
and finish of our decorations are con-

the animal industry of our State, built
upon the walls of this room entirely Of
grains and grasses grown in North
Dakota, other attractive features are
displayed in addition to the
decorations completed and in course of
construction will later on appear the
principal piece of farm machinery en-
ployed in our State, harvester and
binder, drawn by the usual number of
horses. This also will be made from
grains and grasses, just as the others,
while in another position will be pre-
sented the coat-of-arms of North Da-
kota. This will be very intricate
piece of work, requiring close atten-
ton and considerable care, but we
hope to bring it out satisfactorily at
least.

the scenes over the arches in the bow
windows represent some of the
feathered game of North Dakota.
These latter scenes are all worked out
in the products of the soil and are some
what lifelike in appearance, both in
themselves and their surroundings.
The attractive feature of the State
building is the famous Paris EXPOSE

canvas 81 by IL feet and represents q
scene on one of the bonanza wheat
farms in the famous Red River valley
of North Dakota. The sketches and

the Paris Exposition. There it nttrac,e ed

Department at Washington.

There is no charlatanism about
some actresses fencing, no stage debut
sions and tin sabrss. There is proba,
bly, no more skillful woman in tho
use OF swords, either on or off the
boards, than Miss Rose Coghlan.
Aureian Scholl might feel honored
to cross swords with her, for he GER
tainly never did so with anyone who
could do it with any more grace than
she.
Pretty little Marie Tempest deserves
the title of Fencing Mistress, being
also quite deft in the use of rapiers-
Lillian Russell is an excellent and
graceful fencer, excelling in this as
she does in all arts.
Little Sadie Martinez can hold her
own with anyone, and Carrie Turner,
who does all things well, includes fenc-
ing among her accomplishments.
But, argue wise ones with justice,
limited to amusement and healthful
exercise, fencing is all very we'll, but
once skilled in it, will women con-
fine themselves to these two points?
Will not some enterprising female
revise the code of honor, making it
possible for her sisters to call one
another out and soothe their wounded
feelings with more satisfactory valor
than the scratching of eyes?

State presents display 23xs0 feet In
size. Here the decorations are some
what after the style of those used In
this building, but on very much differ
emit lines so far as the objects are con-
cerned. Wheat is the first to receive
attention. The central figure In this
exhibit Is twenty three feet In height,
and represents a goddess feeding the
world with the principal production.
This figure is mounted upon pedestal
surrounded by glass cylinders seven
feet in length containing specimens of
actual soil strata, taken from the far
famed Red River Valley, where the
rich loan is really, in some sections,
even much more than seven feet thick.
The other features of this par ticular
display give some idea of the general
agricultural interests and re sourc es.
The State makes another exhibit IN
the regular agricultural display, and
this is wool. This is an industry
which has had but few years atten-
ton, but the progress in its develop
ment has been SO rapid and the results
so generally satisfactory that we be-
lieve our efforts In this direction will
attract the attention of the wooden
manufacturers to the high grades

In the Manufactures and Liberal
Arts Building North Dakota occupies

lands from he general governments.

The Pink Shirt.

The fact that the ushers at the Cra-
ven wedding, with one exception, wore
pink shirts has created thrill of ex-
element among New York club men.
Time was when the only club men ad-
dicted to shirts of this particular tint
were the song and dance artists who
dubbed themselves around the min
strel stage. Now the pink shirt has
been, so to speak, taken to the bosom
of the swell young man about town,
and an interviewer has been assured
on good authority that it is perfectly
good form" provided the collar be
attached-an essential proviso, and
one evidently meant to avert the p,ssi-
bility of such q vulgarism as q pink

grasses will bring forth. while in Hor-
ticultural Hall are shown fruits and
vegetables in season, and some of the
latter will cause comment. Vegetables
grow to mammoth proportions in North
Dakota, the soil being SO rich and easy
to cultivate. In forestry North Dakota,
although desie mated rs a prairie State,
exhibits considerable number of the
thirty-five distinct species of native
woods. The display in this class is
sufficiently comprehensive to give
good idea of the resources in this par
ticular, even though the collection may
not show some individual specimens so
normous as other States. In front Of
the State building is placed petrified
stump of such dimensions as at least to
draw attention, and in petrifed wood

rare and peculiar specimens.

In the procession the Queen of
Queens rode in a vehicle which repre-
sented an arbor! Roses, camellias, and
greenery, and golden wheels made the
lower part of her chariot and the top
was a throne-like arrangement
trimmed lavishly with blossoms.
Mile. Petit's attire and appearance
were in keeping with the magnificence
OF her equipage. She wore a white
satin frock with trimmings of gold
embroidery and court train of blue
upon it. On her fluffy locks a crown
of gold and pearls was placed and in
her hand she carried scepter-report
says somewhat as though it were an
umbrella. AS she passed the crowd
cheered and cried: "Vive la refine"
and she bowed graciously.
There were two Queens this year,
the Queen of Queens and simple
Queen of the blanchisseuses. The lat
ter was charmingly dressed in pale
blue and sat under charming Grim
son canopy, with lady of honor on
either side of her. A broad blue rib
bon crossed her bust and a crown Of
silver wheat-ears was girt about her
brow.
Bands played increasingly. The ir-
repressible .'Ta-ra-ra, Boom decay"
rose on the sunlit atmosphere in one
part of the procession, while further
along the "Marseillaise," and farther
still nursery rhyme tunes were being
theoretically played to the delight Of
the crowd, while the donkey mounts
also came in for large slice of ap.
