New York, Dec. 1.-THE Household
Economist booth occupies more space
than any other one in the bazaar. Any
man who takes the trouble to gaze upon
the model kitchen, various cooking
utensils and carefully chosen edibles
of this booth will have no fears that the
home is to be forgotten by the advanced
woman.
New York Is represented by two booths
displaying some very elegant wares
which are being disposed of speedily.
The three contributions of most value
In the bazar are probably the locomo-
bile claimed by the New York booth,
and presented by the Barber company,
of Tarrytown; Spring in the Napa
valley, rare painting by California $
great artist, William Keith, none of
whose creations sells for less than
eight hundred dollars; and the treasure
OF the Ohio booth. the Mckinley doll,
which after spirited bidding between
Utah and Ohio this evening, is still in
possession Of Ohio at fifty-three dollars.
This beautiful doll as 1t was held on the
platform during the auction by a fair
woman of Ohio, attracted much atten-
tion.
Canton has been much in evidence at
the bazar today, not only on account Of
the interest in the doll dressed by Mrs.
Mckinley but also because of Duebt r
watch sold at auction after it was duly
explained that all parts of this watch
were made in one city. The portieres of
buckeyes which have adorned the front
Of the Ohio booth were today sold for
five dollars. The receipts of several
booths have amounted to one hundred
dollars or more today.
The program this evening has been
the most delightful yet presented this
week. The central figure has been Julia
Ward Howe, who, at the age of eighty
four, with steady voice has recited her
own matchless Battle hymn of the Re-
public" No one who saw and heard this
great woman tonight will ever forget
the impression of her strong, saintli-
ness as she stood calmly among the
younger woman, whose way she has
made easier by her pioneer work, ana
delivered this great poem with feeling
that thrilled ever heart. As the final
words were uttered "As He died to
make men holy. let us die to make men
free. as God Is marching on the en-
thusiasm Of the audience knew no
bounds, and some one suggested the
singing of the Hymn" In a moment,
Mr.. Hutchison, as sprightly as a boy
in spite of his eighty years, was at the
piano, and with Mrs. Howe beating the
time. with glowing eyes looking upon
the proofs Of womens freedom, one and
all sang with a will.
The tension of the audience was then
relieved by series Of Greek statue i'm
presentations with piano accompaniment
One Of the aims o: the bazar has been
to bring before the pu',.ic tie ,oients
of the vario1s artists and the business
women of the city. Miss Charlotte
Sulley has commended herself by her
wonderful po'se and grace in her line
Of physical culture. Without Il Single
jar she passed imperceptihiv from che
character to another in the following
representations: Venus with apple,
Flute Player. Melpomene, Sleeping
Apollo, Diana of the chase, Yelled Ceres.
Nympth crossing thebrook, Weeping
Ariadur, Atalanta, Hebe. Gladitaor
catching horses. Daphne, Amazon with
bow, Cupid with bow, Apollo Belvidere,
Quoit Player, Augustus Diana discover
ing Endymion. Atalanta picking up the
apple, Dying Gladiator, Venus at the
bath and Praying Boy.
Mrs. Edward Howard Griggs, Of
Brooklyn, with a voice Of singular puI-
ity, has also been one of the winning
features Of the day.
