The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1901-09-04

lakes and streets of Venice, as they
seemed with the pretty gondolas
smoothly gliding along with great
strong gondoliers guiding them, we're
features of beauty in the grounds, and
trip around ON the water we enjoyed
very much. The different buildings
Liberal Arts, Merchants, Manufact-
urers', Government, Fisheries, State
and Foreign-were all magnificent in
architecture, the detail work in decor
ating, being so fine and artistic.
The New York State Building is of
white stone and marble, and is beau
tiful structure, situated on the lake,
and is to be permanent and an orna-
ment to the park which the Ex-
position grounds are to be converted
into when the Fair is only beautiful,
valued memory of all its present glory.
OF course we went down "the Mid
way, and heard the "barkers" and
''fakirs", calling out the attractions ~
in their queer foreign fashion, and it
was fine all the way through, and is
possibly the most frequented part of
the Fair. The men all love the free
dom, oddities and recklessness of the
Midway shows, and they go into the
"Land of the Midnight Sum-" which is
very realistic; into the "Johnstown
Flood, "a trip to the moon, the Flip
Flap, and all other side shows with
single view to fun and frolic, and
along with them IRE go too; "John" al
ways had his contingent of five" with
him. We wanted to see that he was
properly chaperoned.
To me, the most wonderful thing
saw in all the Fair was the Human
Incubator where we saw little mites
of humanity, whose premature little
lives were being scientifically nurtured
and they were thriving in their little
glass cases, and were so pretty and
pink in their helplessness. Three
little girls (triplets) were of special
interest, and we heard one little faint
voice cry, and the nurse in her grey
dress, white cap and apron, looking so
motherly and gentle, came, opened the
case, took out the little morsel and
carefully fed it and put it back salts
fled into it's little bed shutting it up
again. These glass cases all have
registers, and are kept at the desired
temperature. We fingered long in
here. We went into all the buildings
and only fingered when we found
something of particular interest.
The exhibits were not near what they
were at the Worlds Fair and we're
badly placed, seeming to be rather
mixed up. The Art Gallery was really
fine and there were pictures and statu-
airy of wonderful beauty and interest
there. | won't particularize. Tiff
fany's exhibit was dazzlingly beauti-
full in his rich display of jewels, silver,
stained glass windows and the Dewey
loving cup, also his swords and others
belonging to Wainwright, Funston,
Miles, Schley, etc.
By the way, sentiment, as far as | can
judge, is in Schley's favor all through
this part of the country.
The pottery exhibits were fine. l
thought the GAINESVILLE ware in the
light unglazed tints with its shadowy
flowers, very beautiful, as indeed was
all the other, the Wedgewood, New
combe, etc. The Sophie Newcombe
pottery was an exceedingly creditable
display, even alongside of the cele-
brated potteries.
Now, when ST. Louis has her Fair in
1903, "Whitworth Pottery" must be
conspicuous for it's beauty and extent
of display why not? For Whit
worths resources are and will be great,
and what can she not do, if all her
daughters and friends, and the town
people will rally to the support of her
very able and cultured present admin
istration? A well equipped college in
community can but elevate and i'm
prove it's members-a there should
be but one sentiment-to help and
further all college interests. Her in
terests are the towns.
Now | have wandered away from my
trip" But | am always interested in
Whitworth, and, incidentally, Brook
haven, and cannot refrain from saying
something in their behalf whenever
the opportunity offers.
| suppose there has never been a
finer electrical display than at this
Pan American Exposition. At night
it is veritable golden city, every build
ing, walk, every canal lake and foun-
tain, all perfectly and entirely outlined
as though indeed built of Light as a
substance and material. 1t is beyond
all description, and stands out against
the darkness of night as wonderful
revelation of the power, greatness and
beauty of electricity when controlled
by the ingenuity and artistic taste of
man!
