ings in different sections Of the coun-

factory. The establishment of the st,
Thomas Episcopal Church in Chicago
and the beautiful decorations in the
home of the late Senator M. A. Hanna
in Cleveland, are samples of what he
can do in this line. At jamestown
Mr.. Smith will have two artistic cell
ing designs, two types of mural de
coration, and five panels, showing five
different CRANES of wood used in MAX
ing up the decoration scheme in build
ings of various kinds.
Mrs. ID. A. c. Jones, of Washington
D. c., an energetic business woman
who entered the hotel business twenty
years ago with fifty cents and has now
amassed a fortune of over $4,000, is
collecting an unique exhibit, and will
give much of her time to the work of
making the Negro department a sue
cess.
