Vol. XII. No. 11 CONC01UV N. C, MONDAY MAY 24; 1897. Whole NO. 1,727 - EXPOSITION NEW 8. A Map(lrd Reporter Peeps In at the Grand Exposition and Gets a bird's Ffe View of What Is to Oe Seen A Snccessl'nl UndertafelnR and a Mag nificent Display ofFlne Arts, Curi os Colonial, Revolutionary, Con. federate and Historical Relics A feir pointers. f It is expected of men, and qnite naturally so, to evolve ideas and convert their thoughts into practical undertaking that produce the many marvelous and pretty things of oeauty and loveliness, but it takes the finishing .touches of woooan to display these productions in such vividness that man cannot help but admire, praise and dote over. So It is with the ''Woman's Exposition of the Carolinaa" that is now in prog ress in the fairest city in Old North Carolina, the historical city of Charlotte. ' " One among us recently visited Charlotte and subsequently the grand exposition building. It was his pleasure to meet Mrs. Minnie H Kellogg, business manager of the exposition and president of the Ladies Auxiliary Society of the Young Men's Christian Association, to whom is, largely due the credit for the great undertaking and suCn cessful results of the big show. It w8 through her kindness that we got a glimpse of the marvelous dis play there to be seen. On entering the building to the right the first th ng that attracts the attention of the visitor is the souvenir booth. Ladies and little children are there to show you through and let you select a momento at a very small cost, if you havethat uncontrolable desire to purchase. Then you pass into ihe grand art department. To the right the grandest paint lug that was ever beheld and which id insured for $60,000, is stationed- h k the famous "Breaking of Home Tie" by Thomas Hovenden. You eee in it the feeling of a fond mother with her hand upon the 'shoulder of her toy who is acout to leave his heme and loyed ones, the mother gszmg lovingly in hia face andv giv ing her final farewell, while he looks straight over the mother's head at nothing he simply stares. The little sister who has cried all she coald, stands agains, the door looking wistfully at the boy, and the father and .others standing fcroaxid with that anxious expression eeen on faces at one's parting, possi bly for life. This picture alone is worth a trip to the exposition. The next famous picture ia that of the fallen soldiers upon the battle field, where bergeant iVnubity ia rescuing the colors in the Franco German war. It thrills one's whole being with the patriotic fteling of a sol dier, and it is admired byv a great many equally with the first men--loned. It is aho a work and mas terpiece of the famous Thomas Hovenden. Portraits of General Stonewall JackBon and Gen, Robert E Lee are conspicuous and generally admired. The portrait of North Carolina's greatest son, Zsbulon B Vatce. by W G Randall, the artist of the Old North State, bangs with serenity over the alcove in the east end of the building. Thee are uiany other good productions, by Kandall that compare with many of the more prominent artists. There are several hundred fine worka oa exhibit and for lack of space we cannot touch upon ihe merits of them emglv, but will say '-'that col lectiyely the exhibit 10 the art! ce partment is more elaborate arjd far' superior to that of the CottoD States Exposition held in Atlanta. In the art rooms will be seen the magnifi cent display of bric-a-brac and as sorted finery from the home of Col, Julian S. Carr, at Sumerset Pal ace. The loan is beautiful and is calculated to make the home cf any man one of perfect grandeur. Next comes the Photographic ex hibit composed of several hundred specimens. It is lovely and greatly admired. The entire picture gUery is made up of oil painthus water color, tapestry, etc., from the T PERSONAL POINTERS.

One qould tpend eev eral hours looking over these beau tiful collections without tiring. - In the south corner of the. art loan department is one of the three death masks of Napoleon, from the University of North Carolina. It is said and believed to be true that there are only three such masks in the'world. The University came in pof session of the mask m this-peculiar way: Dr. Antomarcbi was Napoleon's physician and wa3 with him at his death on the Island cf St. Helena and took a plaster cast. He afterwards came to New Orleans and formed an intimate friendship with Dr. Smith, a phy-icien of that city, whose daughter married Capt. Francis T Bryan. The Bryan fam ily were greatly attached to our State University and Captain Bryan fell heir to this cast by marriage Xs MiS3 Smith and generously bestowed the priceless boon on that institution. Dr. E A Alderman has exhausted all his mean3 of informa tion and is led to believe that this is from the original cast. f Returning to the main building we find the first booth is filled with a handsome exhibit froiii GniN ford 'College museum, containing a carefully classified collection of minerals, rocks, fossils, volcanic specimens, corals, shells, marine animals, archaeological ; specimens, caata of prehistoric implsments, mounted birds and animals and the largest and prettiest collection . of bird's eggs we ever saw. vTbe next comes the display of W M Hartman, the taxadirmist, who has a fine collection of native bird'eV The Greensboro Female College1 has a very handsome exhibit of paintings by the students. x j r The.
