GEORGIA
AJOMJHA.
How This State Will Be Rep
resented at the Great
Exoosition.
I
ALREADY AT WORK.
Are the Commissioners Appointed
By the Governor—An Interest
ing Exhibit is Promised.
The great west lying between the Mis
sissippi river and the Rocky Mountains is
building an exposition at Omaha which
■will be the second greatest ever seen in
America. Tho movement was started two
years ago, and like the Nashville exposi
tion, was largely inspired by the Cotton
States exposition.
Omaha is a thriving city. It has a great
deal ot wealth, as the buildings and pri
vate residences attest. All around it lies
a fertile country—lowa on the East and
Nebraska to the west. Chicago is fifteen
hours’ distance. Kansas City is only a
night’s ride to the south, and St. Louis
about ten hours’ ride beyond. St. Paul is
eeventen hours’ ride to the north and Den
ver twenty-four hours’ ride to the west.
Omaha was a trading station on an old
■western trail. I remember hearing a pas
senger say one night as a train rolled out
of Omaha that he had sold an acre of land
in what is now the heart of Omaha for
the first cooking stove that was seen on
{he west side of the Missouri river. So it
is not an old city as you can see.
The entire west is joining hands with
Omaha and Nebraska in this enterprise.
Every state west of the Missouri will have
a building of its own. Illinois is spend
ing $50,000 on its building and exhibit.
Congress appropriated $200,000 for a build
ing and display.
The grounds contain two hundred acres,
lying along the Missouri river in plain
view of the railroads. It is only ten min
utes ride from the heart of the city to the
grounds. Omaha has a number of hotels
and one of them is large and thoroughly
modern.
A large lagoon is the central picturesque
feature of the exposition. Around this
lake are the buildings, several of which
are now almost completed. The manufac
tures will be second in size to the liberal
arts building at the world’s fair. Neither
it nor the government building is com
pleted, but they will be finished before
June Ist, when the gates are to open. The
electrical effects will be striking. The fine
arts will be a notable feature and Omaha
•will collect the choicest paintings and
marbles in the public and private galler
ies of Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis. Eu
ropean painters have promised to contrib
ute, too.
Agriculture and mining will have such
displays as were never seen before in all
the world. The west prides itself on these
two great industries and all the western
states are spreading themselves along
these two lines. California will show what
it is doing in fruit raising as well as in
mining. Both the Dekotas, Montana, Wy
oming, Minnessota, lowa, Utah, Nevada
and Colorado are vying with each other
to make the best showing.
Twenty million people, or more than a
fourth of this country’s population live be
tween the Mississippi and the Pacific coast.
They estimate the wealth of that section
at $20,000,000,000 or SI,OOO per capita. The
corn crop is worth $200,000,000 a year, or
more than the whole world's annual gold
production. Last year the west raised
nearly 30,000,000 bushels of wheat, and its
hay crop was worth $150,000,000. The
west is not only the world’s granery, but
its meat market as well. Had it not
been for the west this past year, the world
would be short on rations today because
the grain crops were a failure in other
grain growing countries. Omaha is a
large meat packing city and as in Chicago,
, the cattle yards and slaughter houses are
pointed out as objects of interest to visi
tors.
Nebraska and other western states are
becoming great sugar producing states, the
sugar being obtained from the beet. Man
ufacturing is growing all through the
“ west, and like the South, it is getting to
be more and more independent and self
sustaining.
But there are some things which have
to be obtained from the South —cotton and
lumber, turpentine and rosin, rice, early
fruits, vegetables and marble, for exam
ple.
This will be a very largely attended ex
position. It will offer a splendid opportu
nity for advertising the South and South
ern products. Realizing this, a commission
of public-spirited men appointed by the
governor has undertaken the work of see
ing that Georgia is fitly represented.
Georgia has an exhibit which took prizes
at two expositions. It is proposed to sup
plement this display with private collec
-1 tions, donations and money subscriptions.
It will take about SIO,OOO in cash to put
up a neat building at the fair, install the
exhibit, care for it from June Ist to No
vember Ist and return it safely to Geor
gia.
No appropriation was made for the dis
play by the general assembly, as it could
not under the constitution of the state.
All the money will have to be raised by
public subscription or county or municipal
appropriations. The commissioners are
from every section of Georgia. They have
gone to work in a systematic way. They
met in Atlanta and organized. Their next
meeting will be held in Macon, and they
plan to meet in a half dozen cities, in
order to bring the matter directly to the
attention of the people in each part of
Georgia. The membership of the commis
sion is as follows:
W. J. Northen, chairman: E. F. Blod
gett. secretary; George C. Smith, treas
urer: C. E. Harman. W. A. Hemphill. F.
H. Richardson. J. S. B. Thompson. J. F.
Delacy, Governor W. Y. Atkinson, Edwin
Brobston. W. A. Knowles, Thomas K.
Scott, George Ketchum, W. J. Kinciad and
D. H. Dyer.
With all their large crops and fat cat
tle, the western people are not entirely
satisfied with their surroundings. Their
winters are long and bitter, and there is
a growing tendency among the farmers in
particular to move South. They want to
live in a milder climate. Georgia’s com
missioners aim to show to the people of
the west that this state can raise a greater
variety of crops than any trans-Missis
sippi state; can raise from two to four
crops in a year, and when they are raised
will be nearer to market, insuring a large
profit.
Our commissioners also aim to aid the
home manufacturers in reaching the west
ern market. There is no method of mak
ing a sale like that of showing the sam
ples to the buyer. It is impossible to bring
millions of the western people down here
to see what Georgia can do, but it is quite
possible to send our samples up there for
the people to see.
Any city or county which contributes
to the fund will be entitled to distribute
whatever advertising matter from the
Georgia building that it pleases. Boards
of trades and similar commercial organi
zations are requested to co-operate with
the state commission in raising the fund
necessary. At least two of the railroad
will take part, the Southern railway and
the Georgia, both of which will send dis
plays of their own. It ought not to be a
difficult matter to raise the sum required.
HONOR MISS CRANE.
Army Officers to Tender Her a Grand
Ball at Hot Springs.
Hot Springs, Ark., Jan. 22—Major Lee
and Lieut. DeFries, army officers, sta
tioned here, will tender to Miss Crane, of
Hoyt’s “Stranger in New York” Company
a grand ball and dinner.
A large number of invitations have been
sent out to society people, and it is the
design of those giving the affair to make
it one of the ■ most important society
events of the season.
The army officers in this city have ex
pressed themselves as indignant at the
treatment received by Miss Crane in
Charleston, S. C., and are determined to
show their disapproval of it in this way.
BETTINA GERARD’S CHILD.
She Will Receive a Share of Her Father’s
Property.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22—Judge Hanna
yesterday in the Orphans’ court settled
the estate of Arthur Padeford, whose first
wife was Bettina Gerard, the daughter of
General Ordway, of Washington. He de
cided that the estate should be distributed
as if Mr. Padeford had made no will and
codicil. Under this ruling, the heirs will
be the descendant’s widow, who was his
second wife, and Valerie, his daughter by
Bettina Gerard.
“EX”-RAYS IN COURT.
Used for the First Time in a Federal
Case.
Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 22—The Roent
gen ray photograph was yesterday declar
ed by Judge Seaman, in the United States
court, competent as evidence.
In the suit of Patrick Shea against the
owners of the steamer Osceola for dam
ages in a personal injury suit, the X-ray
photograph was introduced as evidence
for the first time in any Federal court in
this country.
MRS. PEARY’S ARCTIC TOUR.
Those better qualified to known than
some who have made public utterance on
the subject, say that Mrs. Peary was
never a hindrance to her husband in his
work in Greenland when she went there
with him. The carpers were those who
would have been malcontents anywhere.
Now 'that Mr. Peary has been presented
with a ship for his coming expedition to
Greenland, one can hardly escape a sur
mise as to how his wife must regard his
coming departure. Equipped, as her
friends say she is, by courage, skill and
resolution of character, with personal
tastes inclining her to all undertakings of
the kind, it must be very hard to resign
every prospect of going, simply because of
some universal prejudices on the subject
of female explorers.
Mr. Peary’s generous benefactor is Mr.
Alfred Charles Harmsworth, the proprie
tor of the London Daily Mail. In 1894 he
equipped the Jackson-Harmsworth expedi
tion, which returned to England in Sep
tember after a three years’ investigation
of Franz-Josef Land. It was in the settle
ment made by this expedition that Mr.
Nansen was first welcomed after his long
arctic winter.
JUST GOSSIP.
Prince Hoheulohe is said to be almost
incapacitated from work by the grief
caused by his wife’s death. His physi
cians are urging him to retire from oublic
life, at least temporarily, but the emperor
is insistent upon his retaining the chan
cellorship during the troublous times that
Germany is now experiencing, and he will
obey the wishes of his royal master.
Bishop William Taylor,' Methodist, who
has just returned from Africa, called re
cently on President Kruger. “I found the
ruler of the Boer republic,” he says, “an
exceedingly unassuming man. He heard
with interest of the work I was doing and
spoke very encouragingly to me. He is an
intensely religious man. He rises at 6
o’clock in the morning to hold family
prayers, and preaches nearlv every Sun
day.”
One who knows Cecil Rhodes well tells
the Sketch that he is overtaxing his
strength. “I have seen him,” he says,
“when hard at work, dictate for ten or
eleven hours at a stretch, absolutely wear
ing down the endurance of three type
writers, one after the other. Os course,
his brain requires constant artificial stim
ulant, and the alcohol that is necessary
merely to sustain him in times of pressure
would send any weak man under.”
BIRDS ARE NOT MUSICAL.
Professor Elisha Grey says: While the
notes of some birds are very sweet and
pure in themselves, they never utter what
could be called a musical composition,
even of the simplest kind. The music of
birds consists largely in their own beauty
and the beauty and grandeur of their sur
roundings. Take away their bright plum
age, the green trees, the many-tinted
flowers, which in themselves are a poem
of color; the sounds, stripped of their sur
roundings. although in many cases agree
able, cannot be said to be musical.
