NEW YORK, July 17.-Attractions
of the P. w. L. exhibition in Madison
Square garden, in next October, as set
forth in the prospectus just issued,
ought to sell all the space and more
tickets Of admission than the capacity
of the Garden would warrant.
In the Street of All Nations, which
borders the arena, is reproduction OF
harem in Constantinople, with
charming women in Oriental costume.
In Spanish balcony under a jeweled
lamp, with a poetic view of groves and
minarets, sit other handsome women.
with coquettish faces. There are ItaI-
ians in the shadow Of the Palace Of the
Doges, Japanese girls, bearing cups of
tea, and a Zulu village
But more attractive far than all
these foreign folk are number of the
P. w. L. in costume for the perform
ance of their various duties.
The design which is to be used on
all l1thogranhs, books and other printed
matter connected with the exhibition
is the work of Emma B. Shields, a
member Of the league, who received a
prize of $500 for it. 1t is in nine COL
ors. Four Grecian columns support a
tablet, on which is the necessary let
tering. Between these is draped the
figure of woman placing on her head
laurel crown. At her feet are en-
blems of the fine and applied arts, of
commerce, of science and of domestic
life. In the background appears the
tower Of Madison Square garden. Ten
thousand Of these will be published at
once, and the bills will be hung in
every large city.
1t is announced in the prospectus
that $250,O00 will be invested, and more
than 5000 persons employed in the ex-
hlblt1on. The statement is made that
"all attendants will be of the feminine
gender" and that every. effort will be
made to obtain the prettiest and most
attractive Of their sex, so that no comic
lightful to the eye than the corps to be
seen in Madison Square, veritable
city OF sirens under one roof"
Bishop May Ask Coadjutor.
1t is not improbable that one of the
first acts of Bishop Potter on his return
to this country-which, it is under
stood, will not be for several months
will be to ask the diocese for the ap-
pointment of a bishop coadjuter.
While 1t is not generally known, 1t
is fact that Bishop Potter has in re-
cent months discussed such a step with
a number of his more intimate friends
pointing out that with his advancing
years and his failing health the duties
some for him. 1t will be recalled that
on one of the bishops last appearances
in church work in this city--in the
crypt Of the Cathedral Of st. John the
Divine-he tainted and was for some
days following confined to his room.
Later he left on his present European
trip, and in the interim the diocese is
without an administrative head.
In the event Of sucn action being
taken as that indicated it is said that
the choice would lie among Dr. Hunt
ington of Grace church, DR.. David H.
Greer Of st. Bartholomew, and DR..
Morgan Dix Of Trinity.
No Tax on Call Loans.
Discovery Of the fact was made that
section of the measure known as the
Religious Request" bill, which was
passed by congress in the closing days
of the session and approved on June 81,
contains a provision for the remission
of taxes on call loans.
