ABSOLUTELY PURE

Judge in which he wrote to the effect that
no doubt the lecture was all right but he
questioned the drawing qualities of the
title. We have recently had several such
lectures as "Old Women and their Bonnets"
"Old Maids and their accusors," 'Superfuous
Women" and he did not think it would be
the best time to have another under the title
of "Old Virgins" In my mind there is no
doubt as to how the letter of last week was
made to say that Mr.. Todds was the only
exhibit from ''Shiawassee." The fault was
in the type-setter not in poor penmanship.
However it should have been Tennessee"
The fact is Shiawassee County is at the
Fair.
In the Government Building the Oakside
School, with its corps of teachers and the
bright faces of many of its pupils.
In the Womans Building the last copy of
the Owosso Press issued under the manage
ment of Mrs. j. A. Church when terminal
ing quarter of a century of work as editor
and manager of paper, an exhibit which
perhaps cannot be duplicated among the
marvels of the whole Fair.
The Ladies' Libraries OF Corunna and
Owosso are represented here. The Owosso
public schools, different Womans' Tenn
perance organizations of the county, the
book entitled "The place of the story in
the education of the child" by Miss Sarah
E. IViltse and several other indications that
Shiawassee County did not forget its duty.
But for Tennessee, there is only one
exhibit of which we have knowledge. That
S situated in the south west end of the
Forestry Building and consists of shocks,
kegs, casks etc. labeled Todd & Roper, Milan
Tenn. AS Tennessee contributed Prof.
Bates to Owosso for while to help instruct
its young men and women, Owosso may
congratulate itself that through one of its
citizens Tenn. has some part in this Worlds
Fair
Three exhibits worth making a note of
and looking up are, The Golden Miniature
Steam Engine, composed of more than one
hundred and fifty pieces. Its cylinder is
one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, with
three -sixteenths of an inch stroke. The
hy-whee is five-eights of an inch in dame
ter. The weight of engine, boiler, stack
and plate on which the whole rests is nine
penny weights, less than one half ounce.
1t was made by Cyrus Chambers when
sixteen years of age. 1t may be found in
Machinery Hall, sect. "a, column p. Q. S.
96-37.
Another is the popularity called. "Choco-
late Woman" in the German department of
the Agricultural Building. This is statue
of great beauty and ornamentation made
with the pedestal and base of sweet choco-
late. The genial gentleman in charge will
give you a picture of it with full descrip-
ton. Another is an embroidered handker-
chief made for the Empress Eugene by two
women who devoted the best years of their
active lives to the work and at the expense
of their eyes. 1t is doubtless one of the
finest things of its kind in all the world. 1t
is located in the IVoman's Building, on the
west side in glass case and is easily found
because 1t is only step north of a life-sze
painting of woman clothed in pink dress
called the woman in pink.
Tomorrow, the fourth, will be a great day
at the fair All is in state of fermenting
activity for the day. Everyone seems pre-
pairing for it. Another portion of Owosso's
delegation return Wednesday evening, sorry
of course, that they cannot make it conven-
lent to remain all through. Mrs. Lucius
Gould, Mrs. Albert Todd and Miss Mamie
Todd spent Sunday resting at Hinsdale. w.
