Ztfl(1 ( 1nternatIona oxposluon talked to the
membera of the Current Topic cItb on the
expo1tlon project last night at the Young
: Men'e ChriMlan assocntIon building. A
number of other spenkera had been billed to
talk , but announcements were received that
they wore unnvoIdaby compefled to be nb
, e1t. Mr. WattIe gave. however , as chair.
f man Kilpatrick denominated It , a ' 1u11 , con-
clw arni withal modest account' of the
0 project.
In the beginning ct bli zu1ress he dwelt
a some ongtli upon the fltne3s of Omaha as
the reaL of the exposition. Ho said that
.
- - from the time that the west was opened up
- flrzt Omaha was looked upon as the iato
city. As was natural other states believed
that they liatl greater resources than Nebraska -
braska , but Mr. Wattles stated that the fact
must not be overlooked that farming consti-
tUtel the backbone indui.try of the country ,
, I a It not only furnihcd the food , btt the
virtue , valor and energy. rhereforo ho
; g judged that no the metropolis of the great
grain producing district of the west Omaha
was pre-eminentiy entitled to have the ox-
position. Further In his address he added
that while other states were jealous of their
, reaources they looked upon Omaha as their
natural gateway , as the PeOIle of this state
' and city looked upon Chicago as a further
gateway to the east.
Mr. Wattles nlL'o touched upon the work
that had already been accamplislied. Ito said
that Inst fall a company was incorporated
and a small amount of capital paid in. With
this the work was commancel and contin.
tied. o inicli had beeji accomplished that
t tlio pushers of the enterprise wore given the
greatest encouragement , not only In the Im-
nicdlato neighborhood , but in nil the trans.
missislppI statco. The project had reached
such a point that it all depended now upon ( lie
attitude that congress would take regarding
the appropriation of $250,000 for a government -
mont building and exhibit. There was every
prospect that the appropriation would be
xnade , and this was in large measure dUe to
the pressure that the officers of the company
had brought to boar upon congressmen.
ON A LAItG1 SCAL1.
The orlgInators of the expoiition first cal-
cilIated on an exhibit that would have been
but little larger than a state fair. As the
\vork progressed , however , the idea of the
project grew until it was certain now that
it would be a great enterprise. The greatest
burden would have to be borne by the state
, and city , but this outlay , Mr. Wattles said ,
WOfld be returned many fold In time. This
was shown , he continued , by the results of
expozitioni in other cties. As an oxamp1e ,
lie stated that the merchants and people of
t. Athanta reported - that they had already received -
coived $100 for .cvery $1 that they put Th the
. oxposjtion recently held In that city.
During the years last past Mr. ) Vattles sa'd
that the flnanciil depression , together with
- failures of crops , eaued people to emigrate
from the vestern country Competent finan-
: cliii experts statel that the country was
'p again on the eve of good times. Under e'uch
; circumstances Mr. Wattles believed that th
i western sUites would nttemit to draw back
, D , population , and that consequently each vould
hustle to put up an exhibit that would outstrip -
strip that of any other state. This was
' shown by the encoragenient given by Utah ,
Colorado , Vyomtng Iowa. and other states
11 already , and was baund to make the project
. ft winner.
To the self-imposed question of what the
' exposition would do for Omaha Mr.Vattles
Raid that the benefit would be two-fold. One
would be the direct benefit. He believed that
thousands and even millions of people would
be attracted to the exposition. From sta.
tistics of attendance at fairs of like nature
Ito said that it wa conservatively estimated
I that 5.000,000 people at least would visit the
city. If each spent the low amount of $10
(
In the city it would bring $50,000,000 here.
. ' WILL QUICKLY RLALIZE BENEFITS.
. Moreover , Mr. Wattles stated the city
would prosper from the time the project
was first realiy begun. It was calculated
that $2,000,000 would be spent on the
giounda and buildings alone , and this sum
L wculd be sufficient to put every idle man in
the city and neighborhood at work. Fur.
tliermoro , every vacant building within the
city limits would be occupied.
The secondary benefIt could not be cal-
culated. , 'o build up a great city it
necessary that it be supported by a great
population. Mr. Wattles said that every
state svest of the MississIppi river would
hold out inducements to the visitors to set-
tb on their lands and develop their re-
sources. Tue result would be a great immigration -
migration , which would mean nothing more
I than that Omaha would have just so many
more backers , as they would naturally look
to this city as the gateway of the west ,
as the vresent. western population does now ,
Tim primary object of the exposition , however -
; over , was to advertise the west , Mr.Vat -
tics announced. As such it was being encouraged -
couraged by the prominent business men
of the city , who knew that little knowledge -
edge the east had of the section of the
' . country and Omaha. Such an advertisement
was looked upon as certain to bring great
numbers hero who would build up the city ,
the state and the western country , . It would
brIng capital and enterprise from eastern
Investors , who know comparatively little of
tim west except from hearsay. From this
g capital Mr.Vattles expected a goodly
' , amount to be spent In the known and unknown -
. known resources of Nebraska.
- EDUCATOR FOR TIlE EAST.
Henry T , Charko was called upon and put
in a strong word for the project , devoting
. lila remarks especially to the benefits that
would accrue to the state. lb believed
that the exposition would be a great one
4 and a great educator. lie said that the
4 eastern folk had not gotten over the idea
that Nebraska was the great desert that
was depicted upon the old maps. This was
, (1110 tO the tact that sino ( lie railroads
soul their lands in the state they to longer
, advertised it. flut Mr , Clarke said that
the state was too great a grain producer
to be overlooked and would come to the
front doapite the years of drouth. The ox-
hiosition voultl help this along by bringing
people hero and by causing theiii to stay
when they saw what the state had to offer ,
which would naturally nouote ! the build.
i log of manutactories antI the tievolopinont
S j of the resources , Mr. Clarke was urgei
that the Ctiizens pull together hard to push
Omabsi aiitl ( ho btato forward , as had been
done in other sections of tIn , west.
Chairman Kilpatricic spoke strongly of the
state as a grain producer , Ito desired that
this fact ahioulit be kept prominently Iii the

time since the matter was laid before th
legislature for the appropriaton for the representation -
resentation of Iowa at the Transmisslsippl
expdsition : Only -$25,000 was neked for the
lurporo , and In the absence of Reprezenta-
tive Weaver , who had the matter in charge ,
It % vae Indeiluitely postpcned in the houaa.
Today a delegation of Council Bluffs gentle.
men conrlstlng of ex-Senator George F.
Wright , It J. Ciancey , editor of the Globe ,
and I. M. Tre'nor , member or the republican
state committee from the Ninth distrIct , arrived -
rived to take the matter up again in the a
eambly. They saw a large number of mem-
bero of the legIslature tobight and wer r-
ceivect encouragngly. ! It develoa that the
risly rearon for the postponement of the bill
before was that there was nobody to make
a fight for It in the abecstce of Mr. Weaver ,
and the committee killed it with an omnibus
resolution that killed a large number of
other measures at the same time. It is
urged by the Council Bluffn gentlemen that
Iowa cannot afford to fail of representation
at so great en exposition of western resources -
sources as vill be the Omaha affair. It will
do the state more good than it did to e
represented at the Chicago fair , end it will
also bring the east and the % vcst together , as
the Atlantic exposition did the north and
touth. The matter will be brought up in the
house committee tomorrow and it Is hoped
a chance svihl ho given to get It before the
house.

A series of "evenings , with English so-
thors" was begun ats the First Congregational -
tional church last nlgkttfor the benefit of the
Chapel of the Carpeattu- the bottoms , and
the women under whose auspices the series
is given expressed themselves as much grati-
( let ! with the interest itt the work , as shown
by the size of the audience.
The paper was rad by Mrs. Jennie E.
ICeysor and was on "Thackeray. " Mrs. Key-
ser was not long in making known to her
readers that the " men"
"sweetest of was one
of her favorite authors and as an admirer
she discussed him as a writer , a lecturer and
as a nian , She regards "Henry Ilemond"
his masterpiece and "Vanity 1ir , " his immortal -
mortal novel , for she believes it will continue
to be read while the race lasts , or until all
men become angels and no longer Suave the
foibles , idiosyncrasie and weaknesses that
enable them to appreciate the keen but good-
natured satire of Thackeray. As a specimen
of character drawing and literary finIsh Mrs.
Keysor believes "Henry Esmond" to be per-
feet , and as an hilltorical novel without to
superior and almost without a peer , She
protests against the injustice of calling
Thiackeray a cynic. Such was Swift , a man
Who vas angry with mankind , anti who himself -
self went mad , but Thackeray , she declares ,
never wrote a word that did not show that
the good was more ijowertul thaut the bad ,
and that did not ( letnonstrato the omnipotent
force of nuniami kindness ,
Other papers , in the series will be "Charles
Kingsley , " by 11ev , A , hiolden flyles , and "Au
livening with Tennyson , " by Mrs. Peattie

AMUSEMENTS.
cccccoccccococcccocceG
Thomas ICceno began a halt-week's engagement -
gagement last night at lloyd's ' , presenting
his own adaption of Delavigmia's historical
drama , "Louio XI. " Mr. Keene has not
visited Omaha for the last season or two ,
and was enthusIastically welcomed by a
moderately filled hiouis3 on his reappearance.
The faults and excellences of his method
are so well known that It is unnecesaary to
enumerate thicnt at this time. Beth were in
evidence in hiti Louis XI , but , as usual ,
the meritorIous featuces were in excesu of
those deserving of blame , and on the whole
hii pIcture of miqualid , crafty , srdperstitlous ,
timorous , cruel amid physically feeble monarch ,
Was a convincing one. The performance was
all the inoro creditable as a character study
for being the offering of an actor who haul
comae to be the leading opponent of the
robust and declamatory school of tragedy.
The audience applauded generously throughout -
out , and gave Mr. Keene a double call after
the powerful fourth act. Aside front the
excellent impressiomi made by Mr. Lowell as
the Dauphin , the work of the company ,
which is numerically strong , calls for no
special comment.
"Richelietu" will ho the bill tonight , and
the engagement closes tomorrow night with
"Richard III. " Tliero is no matinee.
Thio loudly lieralrlod fame of Lob Fuller
attracted to the Craighton last night one of
the largest audiences of the season , at advanced -
vanced prhco. The performance was a disappointing -
appointing one , whether considered as to
its individual numbers or in its entirety , the
vaudeville fcatures being neithdr very now
nor very good , nn1 Mica Fuller's famous
dances being In 'no ' wise such as to account
for her prodigious vogue. How such a dlo , .
play as ho gave lavt night could have set
the whole continent of 'Europe ' aflame is one
of the things which passes understanding ,
for Madame Herrmnannuand others , base im-
itatoro though theymay be , have done prac-
ticahly the came thingain America , and done
them better , and' ' bc n none too warml'
praised. There Is no. disputIng the fact ,
however , that 3Iiss.uFuhlar'osutCsses a peer-
lesz , treaureimlmcradvanooiogmit.
