Idaho's Worlds Fair Commission suf-
fered another loss, this time by theft. A
solid gold-lined silver cup, presented by
the ladies of Wardner, was stolen. The
silver chain and staple by which it was
fastened was also taken. The cup cost
the ladies $50. There is no clew to the
thief.
1t has been unofiicially decided by the
local directory not TO return to the ma
tional government the 81, ,929, l20 derived
from the sale Of souvenir coins. The
majority Of the directors consider their
action in voting to rescind the rule for
Sunday opening and the return of the
appropriation all that is necessary in
the matter.
Owing to the fact that it was discov-
cred that several thousand single-admis-
sion newspaper passes to the Worlds
Fair were stolen, the management can
celed all these passes, and will get out a
new lot to be exchanged for the old ones,
to be properly issued as fast as possible.
1t is not believed many persons secured
admission on them till the fraud was dis
covered. A number OF those presenting
the stolen passes have been arrested, and
an effort will be made to make them tell
the names of the persons from whom
they secured them.
Oregon is one Of the States which has
made extensive displays Of her fruit
products, and her section in horticulture
hall has attracted wide attention. The
fruit is renewed every two or three days,
and is brought daily from the distant
seacoast at great expense. q. B. Irvine,
who has charge OF shipments, has re-
ceived large consignment OF strawber-
ries. These were five days on the route,
making the journey OF $500 miles
through all kinds Of weather. Straw
berries are considered by fruitmen to be
the most liable to injury of any fruit,
and the condition in which the consign-
ment reached jackson Park is thought
to be remarkable. The berries were well
preserved and seemingly as fresh as the
day they were picked, a thing which is
the more remarkable in view
Of the fact that cold storage en- route
was dispensed with.
One of the most interesting and COM
plete educational exhibits to be seen at
Jackson Park is that Of the province OF
Quebec, which is in charge OF Brother
Andrews OF the Christian Brothers. Two
sections in the gallery Of the manufact-
ures building are devoted to showing the
work Of the parochial schools in this part
Df Canada, and one division represents
the different stages Of scholastic training
in the Protestant institutions OF the
province. The display begins with the
lowest grade and specimens OF work done
by the pupils from the time they enter
school until they are turned out thor
oughly schooled, fitted to take their po-
,ition in society, and are to be seen in
their regular order. The studies include
,ll branches known to the educational
world but, If the pupils excel in any
,ne thing, Judging from the exhibit, it is
N penmanship and drawing. The course
u instruction makes special point OF
these two necessary requirements OF the
student, and the result ia most crafty
ng to the instructors. The various
'chools that are best represented in the
Exhibit are those Of the Christian Broth
ITS, Brothers Of the Sacred Heart, Broth
'rs of Christ, Sisters Of the Good Shep-
lerd, Sisters Of the Assumption, Jesus
Marie Sisters, Sisters Of Charity, Con-
,regation Of the Holy Cross and many
'thers Of the well-known parochial in
titutions.
