NO W0MEN's EXHIBIT AT PARIS
Work of Feminine Hands and Brains
Not to Be In n Glass by
Itself

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Ferdinand w.
Peck, United States commissioner to the
Paris exposition of 1900. met the New York
board of Paris exposition commissioners
in this city to-day. Commissioner Peck
said that the boards of commissioners ap-
pointed from the various states could as
sist the United States commission by en-
couraging an educational exhibit; by in
ducing owners of paintings and sculpture
and works of art to make loans for ex-
hibition purposes; by securing exhibits of
models Of machinery, etc. but specifically
in creating that broad catholic spirit
among individual exhibitors which would
place the good name. dignity and glory of
our country and nation above the ideal of
commercial advantages and profit.
he advised the boards so far as possible
to lose sight of the advertising idea and
encourage the making of a collective az
hibit. on industrial lines in particular. that
would stand for the best that the people
of the United States can do.
In response to an inquiry as to whether
there would be woman's department at
the Paris exposition, Mr.. Peck said tnat
while the participation of women in all
the groups was earnestly and cordially de-
sired. he must state officially, that there
would not be distinct women's exhibit in
