In the Woman's Building there will be ex-
hibits OF books written by women, musical
compositions, patents and inventions and
artistic work. Special attempts will be
made TO secure large collection OF oil
paintings, etchings and water colors, archi-
lectual designs, sculptures, and models in
clay, wood carving, embroideries, plain sew
ing, ceramics and china painting. There
will also be a cooking school and kinder
garten.
The Fine Arts Building Is OF the Italian
Renaissance, with tendency to the Floren-
tine school. 1t is proposed to make the edu-
cational exhibit better in every way, II pos
Jble, than the one at the Worlds Fair It
has not yet been decided to have a separate
building for this exhibit, but as the space
accorded to 1t at Chicago was inadequate it
Is probable that a building will have to be
provided. 1t is proposed to have sample
Of the work of every pupil of every school
IN the South.
The most unique thing about the exposi-
ton is the fact that the.wcrk OF the negro in
the South will be acknowledged and have
place. A special building has been pro-
vided for the negro exhibit. 1t Is 100 by 800
feet, and 1t is Intended that the best work of
the negro in every department of labor,
in industrial pursuits since his emancipa-
ton, shall find a place there. Representa-
tive colored men have become greatly in
terested in this proposed exhibit. Several
Of them aren now travelling through the South
arranging for exhibits. The Virginia and
Mississippi committees are particularly ac-
tive. It is expected that this showing OF the
negro's progress will be of mutual benefit to
the blacks and the whites OF the South.
special effort has also been made to
secure better display OF tobacco than was
ever had before. The cultivation, curing
marketing and manufacturing Of tobacco
and OF tobacco products will be shown in all
forms and stages. Provision has Plso been
made for music and lecture halls, and for
the exhibition OF live stock and dairy prod
acts.
Mr. Fielder Chief Assistant to Director
General Collier, called particular attention
to the amusement features. He said that
while the Midway Plaisance Of the exposi-
ton had been called the Terraces, it was ex-
pected that the more popular term would DO
used by the visitors.
&"We shall refuse to accept the applications
OF any but first-class attractions. There will
be a Mexican village, including a street
scene in Mexico, with its cathedral, theatre
and booths, and the grounds will be orna-
mented with Mexican plants. A fine or
chestra will provide music for this village.
Ample private capital is back of this enter
prise, and its projectors have been at work
several months collecting material. There
will also be a picturesque exhibit from
| Guatemala, showing the bamboo huts in
which will live Carlb Indians, nut carvers and
other natives Of that country. Exquisite
carvings on Guatemalan nuts, musical
and ~ bnr thingr will hn IN cola 4
"There will be Hawaiian village, with
an exhibit from the Royal Museum, deep sea
divers, hula-hula dancers, and the plctur-
esque huts of that country. A German village
will also be one of the features of this part
OF the Exposition. There will be a beer
garden and band to furnish music for the
people who assemble there. Instead Of sew
eral Oriental villages, we expect 10 combine
q thorough representation of Oriental life In
one village. There will be a model gold
i;.ine, an electric scenic theatre, and beauty
SNOW. A company has also been organized
to secure n concession for lift on the can
tilever principle, something on the style Of
the old fashioned teeter.
efforts are being made to secure for At
lanta during the Exposition meetings OF
commercial and professional societies, SO
that their members may combine pleasure
with profit.
although Atlanta was the scene Of one oil
the most destructive aud terrible battles oil
the war, the people there have lost sight OF
the causes which led to the war, and there
is no sectional feeling. We do not try to
revive war memories. curious example
of this oblivion the past is shown by the
appointment as one of the Secretaries of the
exposition of General j. r. Lewis q Unior
veteran. General Lewis was with Sherman
on his march to the sea, when Atlanta was
destroyed. Fifteen years ago he moved t
the city and he has been one Of its promi
nent citizens ever since. He was Postmaster
under President Harrison and is thoroughly
identified with all the interests OF the city.
