NEW YORK CITY MAKES INQUIRY
Wnttles Wants Foreign Voice Sing
erp to Come to the Front and
Get Ready for the Big
Festival.

DR.. Jacob Gould Schurme:, president Of
Cornell university. will deliver an address
at the National Corn exposition at l0:3O
o'clock December 10 81 the Auditorium. A
telegram from him gives definite word that
Mr.. Schurman will be. here.
DR.. Schurman will arrive with his daugh-
ter Tuesday, December 10, from Iowa City.
DR.. Schurman is one OF the best known
educators and orators OF the country and
was chosen by President Mckinley to act
as chairman OF the first Philippines com
mission. With the retirement of President
Eliot OF Harvard he comes very close to
being the best known college president In
the United States. He was requested to
choose a subject which will appeal to the
popular mind. and he advised c. c. Rose
water yesterday by wire that he had chosen
Our National Outlook" as his subject.
Even when Discussing a weighty theme,
however, he mas a remarkable faculty for
clear exposition and no living man is heard
generally with more interest when he, occu-
ries the platform, for his appearances thus
are not frequent, the Chautauqua platform
having never enticed him.
His appearance during the Corn exposi-
ton is a matter on which the exposition
officials are being congratulated. 1t is I'M
derstood that member OF the Cornell
Alumni association will entertain him dur
ing his visit here.
New York II Awake.
Even New York City has awakened TO a
knowledge of the Corn exposition. The APP
pended letter shows that the soi-distant
residents Of the metropolis are aware that
the National Corn exposition is to be
held. and this may be termed a triumph.
for when men in little old New York
will take cognizance of anything west of
the Appslachians It means that the rest
of the country is talking of nothing else.
The letter mentioned asks about railroad
fares, 1t may be answered that the West
ern Passenger association has granted a
cent-and-one-half rate through its terri
tory. which reaches as far east as Ohio.
The Eastern Passenger association still has
the question under Amusement. The letter
follows:

ested IN the Corn show, more on account
OF the educational features than because
