The Chamber of Commerce has pe titioned the president of the republic to con- Rent to a government exhibit being made , and It Is the opinion of prom'aent United States representatives In Franco that the president will take favorable action In the matter and appoint a commission to oce that the French government Is properly repre sented at the exposition by an exhibit and also by otHcl.il representatives , Frederick Mayer , editor of The Nineteen Hundred , the olnclnl organ of the Paris ex- potltlon to be held In 1900 , was appointed several weeks ago as commissioner from Franco for the Transmlsslsslppl and Inter national Exposition , nnd ho has taken an active part In arousing Interest among the people of his country In the great exposi tion to be held In Omaha In 1898. Through lib Influence and efforts the Chamber of Commerce bis been Induced to take ofllclal action looking toward representation on the part of the government , and ho has also opened negotiations with several firms ot prominence who wcro exhibitors at the World's fair and has secured promUeo from them that they will make exhibits at Omaha. Mr. Mayer has been assisted In his efforts by the American representatives In Franco and Consul General Goudy nnd Hon. Allison O. Dowen have expressed the opinion that the French section will bo ono of the most at tractive portions of thn exposition. The iKimphlet of the exposition , Issued by the Department of Publicity , has been trans- ated Into French by Mr. Mayer and published in the same form AS the English edition now being circulated by the Publicity department. The tltlo page and cuts of the buildings are the same nst hose used by the department. This pamiihlot Is being circulated all OVIT Franco bv the energetic commissioner and ho reports that good results are confidently expected. ColoruiIo'N WtiHtPil Time. Tno people of Colorado nro beginning to realize that they have loat much valuable tlmo In making preparations for the exhibit which the state desires to make In the Horticultural building. Mrs. Martha A. Shuto , secretary of the State Horticultural society , In an Interview quoted In , a Denver paper , says : It begins to look now ns though our horticultural display will have 'to be ship ped to Omaha as the fruit ripens next summer What should have been done this fall regarding our proposed display was to have selected , as the fruit ripened , about 4(0 barrels of the choicest fruits , nnd place them In cold F ! or.ige , to be opened In the spring1 anil shipped to Nebraska. As It Is now , wo have not selected a single piece of fruit for our display. Governor Adnms ha done his duty In ap pointing the Colorado board , but the super intendents of the various departments have not as yet been seleo''ed. This Is a mistake , us It only delays matters. Of course , the lack of sufficient funds hn& been a great drawback , anil may eventually materially affect our display , but the preliminary steps to shipping our exhibits shoujd have been gene ahead with as soon as the sta'e board was appointed. Substitute for Clll.ss Hoof. The Mines building Is the first of the expo- Itlon buildings to bo equipped with the translucent fabric which Is to be .used for covering the skylights which arc used In all ot the big exhibit buildings. This fabric Is a flexible material , being a patent composi tion which Is spread over a brass wlro net ting of small mesh. The material Is a rich amber color and sheds a soft light which Is very agreeable to the eye and seems to pene trate every nook and corner. From the floor of the building It hns every appearance of stained glass , but It Is regarded by the archi tects as being better than glass for the rea son that It Is not BO fragile and s not affected by any settling or swaying of the building or by hall. When his material is In place on the Mines build ing the entire roof will be closed In. Carpenter HurlK His Keel. Frank Anderson , a carpenter employed on the Liberal Arts building , received slight In- urles to his feet Monday afternoon by umplng from a ladder , which slipped and hreatencd to fall. Ho was removed to his lomo near Albright and a physician found hat some of the small bones of the feet bad been broken nnd the tendons strained. The iliysleian said his patient would bo confined : o the houeo for two or three \\eoks. Anderson was working at the wrat end of the building on a ladder about twenty feet from the ground. The ladder slipped and to avoid falling with It Anderson jumped to the ground , alighting on his feet with a severe jar. l Serv-inur Maelilne Company. The Standard Sowing Machine company of Cleveland , O. , has applied for space for an exhibit of Us sewing machines and of its big machines for cutting out garmonto by the wholesale.

William Johnston & Co. of Doston , owners' agents for a number of English , Gorman and Orlcr.tal steamship lines , have advised the Department of Transportation that they will make special rates on goods Intended for ex hibits at the exposition , the rate named beIng - Ing about one-half of the usual rate and Is the same as that made for the World's fair. William Goldlo & Sons , contractors for the Mines and Agriculture buildings , have 'been awarded the contract for the carpenter work on the Illinois building on the bluff tract and the stakes for this building were sot to day. Work on the building will he com menced at once and .Mr. Goldle says no tlmo will bo lost In getting the building under cover. Smith & Eastman , the fcUiff contractors , are enlarging their SUIT shcti In the Mines building and the temporary structure now oc cupies the entlro center of the floor space of the big building from end to end. The con tractors prtpQso to make thelr'staff for all of thn main buildings In 'ttila sht ( } % They Imvo completed the models and moulds for casting the staff and there will bo little delay In turning out the necessary number pieces. The Pacific 'Mall Steamship company has made a rate on goods for the exposition from China and Japan. The rate Is full tariff scale on shipments to Omaha with return free u hero the goods have not changed hands. The company declines to make any conces sions to passengers , as It says that such nctlsii would result In being compelled to make similar rates to , all comers. A request was made for reduced rates for officers or agents of the exposition traveling over tbo lines of tlic steamship compahy and this brjughi the declination referred to.

The Afro-American Carnival club has been organized1 to fix up a. suitable ami entertain ing program for the special day which has been sot aside by the managers during rarnlval week , which .will be known as Afro- Amorlcan day , at which tlmo they will have their own Queen Polaris , with her maids of honor and courtiers. The palace will be bombarded by the toboggan and skating clubs. There will nlso bo special fireworks and a band cotMcrt. The Afro-Americans of this city are organizing-clubs and promise to line up at least 200 before the holidays. The officers of the club are : Mr. Roy Waples , president ; air. W. W. Llllard , treasurer , and Mr. G. Drown , secretary , backed up by a membership of bright young men , who ap preciate the fact that this Is a chance for their class to slum- what they can do In handling n mammoth entertainment. There Is one thing that they wish to Impress on the public , and that Is that it Is no "cake walk" or cheap affair. The colored people in 'the ' neighboring towns will bo Invited to snnd representative young ladles as maids of honor and to attend themselves on Afro- American day , January 22 , 1S9S.

Palmer has the exclusive ad vertising nnd program concession for the winter sports and carrMval at the exposi tion grounds. As Mr. Palmer is an old resi dent and a thoroughly good advertising man it goes without eaylng that he will get up something strikingly beautiful for a souvenir program. Miss Carrie Smith cf 1822 North Twentieth street walked Into the carn.lval headquarters jcsterday morning togged out In a neat light gray toboggan suit , and claimed a season complimentary for liersclf , papa and mamma.

The attendance last night at the lagoon was quite large , the ladles being In the majority , and as the ice was in good con dition , weather pleasant , fancy skating and "crack the mhli > " was Indulged In by many. The force of men who have been taking oaro of the Ice has iad considerable to con tend with In getting It In condition , but ale gradually putting on a smooth surface that Is satisfactory to all. A number ot skating parties have been organized for Thursday night , and It Is al- Jt a certainty that they will have a Jolly time.
