MRS. JAMES BROWN POTTER.

Potter agreed to do so and readily
consented to do all in her power to
make the recitations as effective as
possible.
The following Sunday evening, just
as the rector finished his sermon, she
stepped in front of the audience and
with great feeling recited one of the
most touching hymns in the Epis-
copal hymnal. Many of the audience
were moved to tears. The church,
which had been packed in anticipa-
ton of the innovation, was as still as
the proverbial pinfall during the tai
ented woman's part of the pro-
gramme. Mrs. Potter was dressed all
in white and recited in low but per-
fectly distinct tone.
Mrs. James Brown Potter will be
remembered as the society woman
who foresook the social world for
the stage. Sixteen years ago she was
a belle at Newport and New York,
and her pretty home in Washington
square was the center of New York
. life. But discomfort entered and Mrs.
Potter took to the stage. For many
years her husband expected her to re-
turn, but gradually hope died out and
it became known that the brilliant so
ciety bud had become no less bril-
liant flower of the stage.
In the Potter home there was a
small child, Anne Urquehart Potter,
called Eff" who was left to her ia
theirs care. Miss Potter recently
married Mr.. Stillman,- son of the New
York banker. Between mother and
daughter during the many years that
have interviewed there has been little
communication. Once they met, some
years ago. but no tenderness passed
between them.
AFrs-Potter is one of the most
striking woman of the stage. Not
young in years, she has preserved her
girlish looks and Is positively youth
full on the stage. At her country
seat near London sb spends her days
out OF doors, and when a reporter
visited her recently she was picking
roses in the garden, the very picture
of sweet 16 in figure and in artless
grace.
Truthful.

Special to the Leader.
Columbus, O., May 2.-Representa-
tive Gear, of Wyandot, is authority for
the statement that the Democrats
probably will hold their State conven-
tion the first week in July. just week
after the Republicans hold theirs.
The anti-Kilbourne men are deter
mined to take the convention away
from Columbus, where the delegates
would be subjected to local influences.
Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo are
talked of as convention cities this year
and those back of the movement care
less which of these cities gets the con-
vention than they do that it shall not
be at Columbus.
The project is regarded as the first
step toward elbowing KilbOurne out OF
the nomination. Though this is the
real object sought in fixing the place
for the convention, the arguments ad-
vanced are that Democratic hopes OF
carrying CuyahOga or Hamilton Coun-
ty will be bettered by having the con-
vention either in Cleveland or Cincin-
natl Frank Gintzsch. one of the
Cleveland members of the State Cen.
rral Committee, is now travelling over
the State urging that Cleveland be Sc
lected.
At present Cincinnati is second
cnoice and Toledo third choice. 1t is
reported that Chairman Brucker, who
lives at Mansfield. will call the State
Committee to meet here on or abou,

NEW TRADE SCHEME.
Floating Exposition Planned for
Trip Around the World.
American Manufacturers and Export-
ers to Exhibit Their Goods mt
Very Doors of People to Whom
They Desire to Sell Them.

The suggestion for floating ex-
position to enable American manufac-
turers and exporters to exhibit their
goods at the doors of the people to
whom they desire to sell them, re-
Gently made by the chief of the
bureau of stats tics of the treasury
department, is resulting in much dis
cussion of the subject not only
throughout the United States, but in
other parts of the world. Letters are
being received from various countries
in Europe and elsewhere making in
quiries regarding the proposed enter
prise, and many inquiries from manu-
facturers and merchants in the Unit
ed States desiring to participate in
an undertaking of this character.
The proposition as originally pre-.
scented in the National Geographical
Magazine and before the national
board of trade by the chief of the
bureau of statistics suggested that
it would be mucn easier to induce
those whom we would make our GUS
toners to examine our goods if car
ried to their doors than if the goods
were set up in an exposition in the
middle of the United States and the
world invited to cross the oceans to
examine them, and that greater pro-
portionate results in the enlarge
ment of our foreign commerce would
accrue from investments in eXhibi.
tions carried to the doors of the
would-be customers rather than large
expenditure in creating sufficiently
great attractions to bring the would
be customers to our own doors. To
this end it was sugge sted that an eX-
position association might be formed
by manufacturers and exporters
which could create guarantee fund
which would entitle the subscribers
to proportionate amount of space
in the vessel or vessels carrying the
exhibit, this exhibit when completed
to pass from port to port along the
coast of South America, thence to
the principal cities of Asia, Oceania,
Africa and Europe, and thence re-
turning to the United States, occupy
ing perhaps two years in the trip
and visiting the principal cities and
countries of the world.
This suggestion by the chief of the
bureau of statistics has been fol-
lowed by the announcement that
floating exhibition to visit the cities
bordering upon the gulf of Mexico
and Caribbean sea has been organ
lied at Buffalo and will be made
ready during the summer and leave
in the autumn of the present year
for that field, and number of other
enterprise of this character have
been suggested.

Not the least pleasing feature of the
evening were the dainty refreshments
served. To say that the evening was
enjoyed by all would be putting it too
mildly.
