ean village which is to form one ot the
principal attractions on the Midway of the
exposition iias beeu received by George B.
Hayucs , one of the members of the com
pany which has the concession for this at- ,

The Afro-American village will be located
on the bluff tract near the north end. It

main front will fuce the west along the
broad avenue running from the Grand Plaza
to the viaduct leading to the north tract.
The ground occupied by this village will be
divided into two parts by a line running east
and west about In the center. The north sec
tion will Illustrate- the condition of the negro
in unte-hulluni doyu , and the southern section
will illustrate the progress made by the race
eliicu the extinction of slavery.
The north section will comprise a typical
nouthern plantation. There will be a cotton
field with the plants in lull growth and the
pickers pulling the lltvucy balls from the
pods and placing it in the bags hung from
th hhouldcrs , afterward emptying It into the
storehouse , where it is put through the gin
and baled lor market. The little log cabins
constituting "the quarters" will be shown In
the most realistic -manner , true to life in
every detail. The old-tachloned chimneys
"built of ntlcks uud clay will add to the
plcturrsnueuetifi ol the cabins , which will
bu grouped about the sides of the enclosure.
In the center1 will be the house where "ihe
viiodfrD doctor" will dispense his mysterious
charms , guaranteed to bring good luck and
kwji off all evil spirits. A central pavilion
will afford an opportunity for the "bucks
and wenches" to show their accomplishments
in the way of dancing ; the buck and wing
dance the boo down , cake walk and various
other torpslchorcun novelties to these people
will be In full blast at all tlmec.
The' southern. ection of the Tillage will

speakers accompanying the party. Continu
ing south , ehort stops will be made at the
smaller towns ana advertising matter thor

ticable to organize such a trip Itefore some
time early In January. The arrangement of
the drtallewill -be tergely In the hands of
Mr. Green.

Mrs. "Fanny Dalley Markland or Oakland ,
Md. Is the comnrUzloncr representing the
exposition in Maryland , and she is doing a
great drol of active work In promoting the
exposition among the people of her slate.
She has the matter well in hand , and has
hopes of securing an appropriation Irom the
legislature to enable ttie state to make an
exhibit of Its resource * , . Among other things ,
Mrs Markland IB sending private letters to
all puns of the state , abklng the recipients
if they are willing that tbu legislature khould
make an actiroprlatlao lor a Elate exhibit.
In this way a strong sentiment Is being
worked up which may result In a creditable
exhibit by Maryland.
Mrs. Markland is a sister of the wife of the
late General Crook , and has taken a great
interest In the exposition sluice Its inceptlou.

Tlie exposition management uregd the - passage

The dealers and -Arms in this city who
handle electrical appliances and work con
nected therewith ar rising in arms against
the exposition directory on the grounds that
the latter .has effectually debarred them
tfrom securing any of the work of wiring or
fitting up -exposition grounds or buildings
with electric nights.
There is a goodly -lot ofwork to ibe done on
the grounds in an electric light waysince It is
estimated .that some , 700 arc lights and 14,000
Incandescent lights will be put In. As a con
sequence the electricians figured on making
some money in supplying -the necessary ma
terial and appliances aud -putting them in
place.
The first Wow came -wlicn Ihe exposition
directory commenced to figure on the wiring
that was used at the Kashrtlle and other ex
positions , on tbe grounds of economy. Tbe
electricians , however , -did aiot protest against
this , if 'by this iplau the exposition people
could secure the necessary material cheaper
than If Ihey bought It new. They still fig
ured1 "that to * " ? would secure "benefit diy put
ting the wiring in.
It has ibeen discovered , however , that by
one of the rules of the directory this will be
Impossible. This rule provides that all tbe
wiring and work of installing the electric
light system shall be done by the exposition
company at a fixed girlcu. This xule is bulug
fccsailed with vigor. In the first place it-is
contended that it is unjust to the local
dealers and to the exhibitors i > oth. The
former are knocked out of business they ci-
peeted and the latter -compelled to pay a
higher price lor the work than if local com
panies were allowed -to compete for the busi
ness.
