History of the Fair.
Now that the exposition has thrown
open its gates to visitors from all parts
Of the world the story of the conception of
the enterprise will be read with interest.
In recent conversation OH the subject
Editor Clark Howell, who has been one
of the hardest workers for the success of
the undertaking in Atlanta, said:
''On the morning of the 18th of Decem-
Der. 1893, only two months after the
closing of the Worlds Fair, Colonel Will
lam A. Hemphill suggested to me in
casual conversation that Atlanta ought
to inaugurate some movement which
would act as an antidote for the hard
times from which the whole country was
suffering. i promptly acquiesced in the
suggestion that something must be done.
L do not know said he, and then, sud
denly stopping: Il have it; let's have an
exposition! whereupon he developed the
idea that the best way to meet the general
depression was by launching an undertak-
ing which would bring our people together
and give them something to do while
others were talking about disaster and de-
preston"
Mr.. Howell then told how the people
We're inspired with the exposition idea, of
the business mems meeting when the first
active steps were taken, the appointment
of general subcommittee and the deter
mination to raise a preliminary fund of
ut least 100000. Continuing, he said
But il was necessary that there should
be some distinctive central idea, around
which the exposition should be built. 1t
would not do to go before the world that
Atlanta was getting up an exposition with
the sole idea of stemming the tide of de-
preston. Out of the discussion was
evolved the keynote on which the music
of the whole movement was based. 1t
was that the exposition should have as
its leading purpose the establishment of
closer trade relations between the United
States and the Central and South Ameri-
can republics. The suggestion met the
immediate approval of the industrial and
commercial centers.
THE S2OO,0OO needed as preliminary
fund had been pledged in cash subscrip-
tions i'm less than week, even the news
boys and the children contributing their
mites, the city appropriating $4,000, the
additional $125.0OO being raised in per-
sonal subscriptions. TO this the county
added $4,000 in work, and when the Leg

France, Germany, Russia, England. and
Italy have sent their best products in
liberal arts and in the sciences. The
fertile South has emptied the choicest
fruits of its fields and hills and factories
into the exposition.
The highest types of agricultural prod
ucts possible to the rich lands of the
Southern States are here in attractive ar
rangement The products of the South's
factories are heapcd in abundance in the
buildings. The great resources of mine
and forest show the vast possibilities of
this section.
The countries of South America will be
most creditably represented. There is no
doubt that one of the cardinal purposes of
the exposition, the opening up of better
trade relations between the South and the
South and Central American countries.
will be realized as a result of the enter
prise.
Our own government is not behind. 1t
presents it's riches in a manner that will
arouse the patriotic pride of very loyal
American.
EcIipses New Orleans.
The exhibition at Atlanta will complete
ly eclipse that giveH> at New Orleans with
its dearth of facilities of all kinds. Not
withstanding the government helped it
more than a million and half of dollars,
the latter was an unsuccessful local fair.
That at Atlanta will represent all parts of
the country, though naturally and appro-
priately it will be largely devoted To an ex-
position of the progress which the South
has made since the war and of its re-
sources not yet fully developed. A pecu-
liarly interesting feature of il will be the
section devoted to the negro. For the
first time the colored people will have
their own building and will show the
world what they can do in the arts and
industries and how much they have ac-
complished in the upbuilding of the South.
Indeed, Atlanta has everything in its
favor united people working har-
moniously together. ambition. public
spirit. business enterprise, and local pa
triotism.

The Atlanta Exposition will be a
Worlds Fair only on a reduced scale.
Those who visited and admired the White
City in Jackson Park cannot fail to find
pleasure in look from the entrance gate

tude. Some attractions are to be seen
not on exhibit in Chicago and many of

five Union batteries and thirty-nine Con-
federate batteries engaged in the battles
by 400 mounted cannon of the types and
appearance then used giving to the fields
an impressive element of realism. Two
guns mark each battery location, and, in
asmuch as some of the batteries occupied
several different positions and did notable
fighting at different points in the fields at
separate stages of the battles. many posi-
tions have had TO be duplicated thus
utilizing in all 400 cannon to locate the
spots occupied by the seventy-four bat
teries.
The only private monument yet con-
tracted for is to be erected TO commem-
morate the valor of George w. Landrum,
lieutenant of the Second Ohio Regi-
ment, who was shot on the afternoon of
Sept. 20, 1863, by some men of the Third
Tennessee Regiment, while carrying a
verbal message from General Thomas to
General Rosecrans. His dying words
were: Il am glad to have shed my blood
in so noble cause"
But while the national government has
marked these positions it has been left to
the States having troops in the battles to
erect monuments TO State regiments and
organizations and to the military societies
their membership.
Twenty-eight States had organizations
in these battles. a more general represen-
tation than appeared upon any other bat
tlefield of the war. Five States had troops
on both sides-Kentucky. Tennessee, Mis-
souri,. West Virginia and Maryland. At
Chickamauga Rose rams had 129 regiments
Of infantry and enough cavalry and artil-
l..v.x 70. al .f
tions. Bragg had 1873 regiments of in.
fantry 33 of cavalry. and Al batteries.
Still, despite the general representation,
four Northern States furnished the bulk
of the Union troops. These were Ohio
with 50 organizations. Indiana with 81,
Illinois with 33. and Kentucky with II.
On the Confederate side Tennessee had
SO organizations at Chickamauga, Ala.
bama had SO, Georgia "a, Mississippi 81,
and Arkansas 16. In the Chattanooga
movement Grant had 220 regiments of in
fantry and, with his cavalry and artillery,
261 organizations. Bragg had 163 regi-
ments of infantry, 33 regiments Of cav
airy and 46 batteries. altogether 242 or.
ganizations. The distribution by States
was little wider. but the bulk of the
troops were furnished by Ohio. Illinois
| and Indiana. Ohio having go organi.a-
| tions there, IlliRois 30, Indiana "a, Mic
souri, II, New York 16, Pennsylvania II,
Iowa IL. and Wisconsin 10. On the Con.
federate side Tennessee furnished "a or.
! ganizations. Georgia 80, Alabama A,
| Mississippi 13 and Carolina 10. The
| States have as rule provided one me-
mortal for each organization. making a
| spectacle which has no counterpart on
| any other battlefield in the world.

City of Chattanooga, and Rosecrans. who
had sent his army South in pursuit of
Bragg, having discovered Bragg's design,
was making an equally desperate effort
to concentrate his scattered divisions be-
tween Bragg and the city. AT that time
the forest was primeval in denseness. and
the underbrush so thick that it was i'm
possible to see more than 100 yards ahead.
Ignorant of each others exact location,
the two armies came nearer to each other
At daybreak on Saturday morning, Sept.
10, they came face to face i'm this forest
of pines and Indian-like jungle of under
brush. and by 7:30 o'clock that morning
the most remarkable battle of the civil
war was raging in all its fury.
The losses were appalling. In the next
forty-eight hours 10000 men were killed,
and neither side had won. At the end of
two days both armies withdrew from the
field. General Rosecrans retaining pos
session of Chattanooga. the objective
point OF the campaign. General Rose
Grams had in action thirty brigades Of in
fantry, five of cavalry, one of mounted in
fantry and thirty three batteries, aggre-
eating SO, 100 officers and men. General
Bragg had thirty-fve brigades of infan-
try, ten of cavalry and about thirty bat
teries, aggregating probably 5000 men.
The percentage of mortality for the time
of fighting il claimed to be greater than
known in any battle in ancient or modern
history.

Chattanooga, the pretty little Southern

the five days devoted to the dedicatory
exercises on the famous field of Chicka-
mauga she was gay with flowers and
bunting.
The South and it's people turned every
thing loose and went in for a period of
festivities and freedom, with the dual
desire to celebrate the dedication and 10
honor the stars and stripes. In short,
it was a holiday for all the people and

A Waterbury Youth Wanted to Scare His
 Parents-They Wanted Him to Pray Every | Evening.
 Waterbury, March 4-Thomas Nor gan, the eighteen-year-old son of Law renee Morgan, a foreman for Tracy brothers. the contractors of this city, made an unsuccessful attempt to take his life this afternoon by swallowing a dose of Iaudanum. The young man has been employed in Plume & Atwood's factory. About 8 o'clock Morgan went to the office of Dr. Munger on North Main street and stated that he had taken some poison. The physician was about to make a tour of his patients in the city when the youth called and wanted to be treated. Dr. Munger sent Morgan to the office of Dr. A. A. Crane, who is acting as medical examiner in this city. The physician summoned the father of Morgan and meanwhile the young man was being walked up and down the hall by the physician to keep him awake. At o'clock, when Morgan had been at the office of the physician for two hours he partially recovered and made a statement. Young Nor gan's parents are Roman Catholics. Thomas said that he did not agree with his parents in their religious be- lief, and as result there was constant trouble between himself and them. When he came home from work young Morgan declared that his parents want ed him to pray, and he grew weary of this sort of thing and decided to do something to frighten his parents so that they would cease talking about re- ligion. He had no idea of taking a dose large enough to kill him, he said. ItI was thought that Morgan would not live but at 8 o'clock tonight he was sent to his home. pr. Crane had tried sev- eral emetics upon the patient, but the poison had worked itself into the blood. Dr. Crane, however, said that the boy would recover.
