Varied .Arrangement of Warm-
Tone * and lllch Tint * .
' Visitors ( o the exposition grounds during
the last few days whcso eyes have been daz-
sled byi the glare of the sunlight reflected
from the white buildings will to gratified
to learn that preparations are now making
( or painting the buildings and modifying
the garish tone 'by ' the use of a soft tint
which will be more agreeable to the eye
while adding greatly to the effectiveness ot
the architectural beauty of the scene.
The entire exterior of the buildings la the
mala court will be palntml a rich cream or
old Ivory tint , and the architectural adorn
ment will be accentuated by the use of
colors. Bids have been opened at the office
of the Department of Buildings and Grounds
tor coloring tbo buildings With this tint of
old Ivory , and the work of bringing out the
ornaments by the use of color has been
placed In the hands of Walker & Klraball ,
the archltccts-ln-chtef.
The use of color as an adjunct to the
architecture of the building will mark a de
parture from the methods which have ob
tained In previous expositions In this coun
try. By this means the exposition buildIngs -
Ings will bo given a festival appearance In
keeping with the uses to which they are de
voted , and the monotony which would other
wise prevail will be relieved by the moderate
use of subdued tones.
The Agriculture building will be the most
elaborately decorated of any In the main
court , for the reason that Its architecture
depends upon the use of , color. The main
window bays will be decorated with fruits
and flowers on a warm background and the
tympana , ( the flat , plain surface above the
windows ) will bo dccoraled with repeated
alternate groups of conventionalized barn-
yatd fowls. The entrances will bo decorated ,
warm , rich colors being freely used In the
lolty aroheH of the main entrance , and the
lialf Ughts In the toggles at cither end ot the
building being relieved by the use of colcr.
Gold bron/o will bo freely used to bring out
the Important points In the decoration.
The ornament * of the other buildings wll
tie mostly conventional. The dome of the
Mines building will show the panels In rich
colors and the ribs glided. The Att building
will be "done" In faded tones that will not
detract from the architectural adornment.
The domed celling of the lower arch In the
'Administration ' building , and the loggias
back of the column ! ) In the upper portion of
the building will bo decorated In colors and
cold. The background of the rcscttrs In the
main arches will bo glided and the colors
In the half lights will bo rloh and strong. On
the Machinery and Electricity building color
.will . be used as a background for the orna
ment and tbo latter will be "picked out" In
bright colors.
The colonnades will bo treated In tones
harmonizing with the buildings adjacent to
them and the domes of tbe pavilions of the
colonnades will bo glided.
IVcparatloms are being made by Walker &
Klmball to commence work on the color
decoration as soon as the buildings arc ready
for that portion of the work.
But ono bid was received at the office of
the Department of Buildings and Grounds
for the tinting of the cxtcclor of the buildIngs -
Ings In the matin court. This bid was sub
mitted by Smith , Eastman & Allen and
aggregated $9,019 $ for the buildings now
crectoJ. A bid was also submitted for
painting the fence which surrounds the ex
position grounds , John Woerheldo offering
to do the work for $1,700.

Public with Their Show.
County Commissioner Hector and J. P.
Flndley , who have the concession for the
Afro-American village at the exposition , have
their pirns complete and will begin work next
Monday morning with a large force ot men.
Tbo village will bo upon the East Midway
and will bo located dlfectly opposite the
Moorish village.
Mr. Hector sajs : "Wo will put on a show
that will surprise the amusement-seeking
people who cotno to the exposition and at
the fame time we will show the past and
present conditions of the colored people. Wo
have plans for twenty-on * buildings. There
will bo the old plantation cabins , built of
logs and chinked with mud. These will rep
resent the life of Uio negro In the couth
as It existed thlrty-flve years ago. The cab
ins will be equipped and furnished with
all the appliances 'as they were at that time.
Then there will be the cotton gin of the old
times and the slave market , where dally
Kales will bo held , colored men , women and
children being placed upon the block and
offered at auction to the hip best bidders.
In addition to this wo will have a number
of neat cottages , enabling us to show the
borne life ot the colored man of the present
date.
"Wo do not propose to have northern col
ored people , but Instead wo will have the
Kcnutne articles from the plantations of the
south. Wo have arranged to have 150 col
ored people In the village , where they will
render the southern scngs and all of the
plantation dancce. There will be cotton and
tobacco fields , all ot which will be worked
by colored people. "
The Afro-American village will cover a
tract of ground 170x170 feet. Aside from the
cabins the buildings will be neat and at
tractive structures , covered with staff.

IIUIG.U.V SAM2 OT TICKETS.
Executive Cnmtnlttn * Devlum nPlnn
to Help Ilndi Shir * .
Tbo executive committee of the exposition
has authorized the Irsuance of commutation
admission tickets to the exposition and people
ple who desire to profit by the opportunity
may now secure tickets to the great fair at
a rate much below the price at which tickets
will be sold when the exposition opens. As
a preliminary to this movement It Has been
decided by the committee that the exposition
grounds shall bo kept open from 8 o'clock
o. m. to 11 o'clock p. m. , tickets to be on
rale from the hour of opening until 10 p. m.
The price of admission to the grounds , cither
nlcht cr day. has been fixed at 60 cents.
The commutation tickets which have been
placed on the market are In the shape of a
took containing 100 single admlsalon coupons.
These tickets are nontransferrable , each
buyer of a book being required to have his
photograph pasted on the Inside of the cover ,
and the coupon tickets will not bo accepted
if detached from their book.
Thcso commutation tickets are now on
sale and can bo purchased at $20 each , mak
ing the price of admission to a holder ot one
of thcso books 20 cents. The tickets may be
obtained of Secretary Wakefleld at exposition
headquarters until May 1.
Ono object of the exposition management
In placing these tickets on sale at thlfi time
Is to turn Into the exposition treasury the
money which Is expected to be , realized In
this way. It Is the expectation of the man
agement that there will bo a very active de
mand for these tickets on the part of people
in the section of territory adjacent to Omaha ,
as It offers them an excellent opportunity
for securing cheap admission to the exposi
tion and enables them to lend a helping hand
to the enterprise at a time when ready cash
la most acceptable. Secretary Wakefleld Is
prepared to receive oil comers with $20 ,
either In currency or In the form of a check
and ho anticipates a rush to take advantage
of the creat bargain sale.
In addition to ordering these tickets placed
on sale , the executive committee authorized
Manager Reed to enter Into several contracts
with applicants for concessions. These were
U. G. Graham , who will operate the gondolas
and a naphtha launch on the lagoon ; Margaret
D. Cook of Omaha , who will erect a log cabin
en the Midway and operate therein a New
England bean house ; nnd the Nebraska Telephone -
phone company , which will establish a num
ber of pay telephone stations on the grounds.
The committee also authorized Manager
Klrkondall to contract for another power en
gine from the manufacturer In Hamilton , 0.

PUTS HITCHCOCK IN A HOLE
Effort of the Disgruntled Editor at Eeren e
Recoils on Him.
STILL AT HIS SANDBAGGING TACTICS
Mallolonn Attack t'pi ' > ni ( he Execatlve
Committee of the Exponltloa
[ Proven a Iloomeranir Pinna
for Kxiioxltlon Hotel.
The Aboard of directors ot the exposition
association held an adjourned session 'yes
terday afternoon which Was attended by a
bare quorum of the members. A marked
feature of the meeting was an attack upon
the executive committee by G. 'M. Hitch
cock In line with the charges 'which have
appeared In the editorial columns of his
paper and the refutation of these charges
by Mr. illosewater , who compelled Mr. Hitch
cock to acknowledge that he had deliberately
misrepresented the matter and was , further
more , not In a position to cry "fraud" at
anyone.
When the meeting opened 'Mr. Koscwater
brought up the subject of hotel accommoda
tions , calling the attention of the directors
to the necessity for Increased accommoda
tions in view of the large numbers of people
ple who will visit the city and who will de
mand first-class accommodations. 'He ' said
It will be necessary to provide such accom
modations for fully 15,000 or 20,000 people
and he advocated the erection of a temporary
building ot that capacity in a central loca
tion. He itald he had conferred with the
owners of the vacant block bounded by
Dodge , Douglas , Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets , and they had agreed to allow the
property to be used -for a temporary hotel
ulldlng at a small rental. Following this ,
r. Rosewatcr said be had sent for a Chl-
ago architect who Is an expert ca hotel
obstruction and this man has Inspected the
round and had drawn complete plans and
peclflcatlons for a temporary building , to tie
overed with staff or corrugated Iron aud
lastered on the Inside , with capacity to ac-
ommodate about 2,000 guests. A large
umber of the rooms planned for bath rooms ,
nd at a flat rate of $2 per day would easily
ay all the expenses ot the establishment
nJ leave a profit , 'without ' counting the In-
ome from the barber shops , restaurants and
arlous other establishments which would
io accommodated in the building.
In the discussion which followed on this
matter Mr. Rcsewater said such a building
ould bo erected for about $75,000 and the
urnlshlng would cost about $20,000
more , making a total Investment of about
100,000.
The matter was very favorably regarded
y the directors present and a committee
f five was appointed to take up the matter
nd report at the next meeting of tbe board ,
o TJC held Friday afternoon of this -week ,
ho best manner of proceeding to carry out
he suggestion The chair appointed as this
lommlttce Directors Rosewater , Dudley
inlth , Kllpatrlck , Wllcox and Rector.
HITOHCOCKS .RESOLUTION. .
When this matter was disposed of Mr.
lltchcock took the floor to offer the follow-
ng rcsclutlon :
Resolved , That It Is the sense of this
-joard of directors that the- executive com
mittee shall not enter Into any contract or
ct any concession In which liny member of
he committee Is directly or Indirectly In-
erested.
When the resolution Tvas stated by the
president Mr. Rosewater said that when the
matter which the author of the resolution
. .as firing at was before the house at the
lost meeting he had made a fi'll explanation
f the whole matter , but he said there might
o some present who had not heard that
jxplanatlon and who would like to know
whether the executive committee had made
a gift to one of Its members or whether tbo
lommlttee had violated the rules which ch
ain In all largo corpontlons.
Mr. Rosewater sai-J the transaction re-
Jerred to was just as legitimate as the trans
action when Mr. Hitchcock had voted to
lurcbase from Mr. Kountze , a member of
ho board of directors , a tract of land for
.he exposition , or the trans-action where the
ixecutlve committee had paid Mr. Hitchcock
hreo times as much per copy for a lot of
his ropers as was proposed to be paid for
he copies of The Weekly Bee.
Mr. Rosewater then again went over the
Ircumstacices leading up to the action which
has resulted In such extended comment at
: he hands of Mr. Hitchcock. He stated that
he experience of other expositions had dem
onstrated that a very largo percentage of
ho expected attendance would come from
he territory within a radius of 250 miles
rom Omaha. To reach this population sev-
ral methods had been pursued ; the people
Ic the cities and towns along the railroads
- > ad been reached by these ro-ids end well
lupplled with the pamphlets Issued by the
Department of Publicity and Promotion.
But the farmers living in this territory could
only bo reached by mall , and this brought
.he whole question down to a simple problem
of cost.
cost.COST
COST OF THE PUBLICATION.
Mr. Rosewater then stated briefly the
terns of cost In the Issuance of an edition of
100,000 copies of the thirty-two page pam
phlet which has been Issued by the depart
ment , including the cost of the pamphlets
at $750 for each 100,000 , postage at 1 cent
each , $2,000 ; addressing , $200 ; envelopes and
addressing , $300 or $400 more , making the
otal cost of this method $4,200. The com
mittee had decided to adopt the method of
sending out the exposition matter In the
'orm of the regular edition of a newspaper
n order to take advantage of the pound rate'
ot postage and. to get more printed matter
concerning the exposition. H had decided
o purchase 200,000 copies of The Weekly
Bee , Including a four-page supplement on
line paper , for $3,200 mailed , or $1,000 less
than the cost of the pamphlets. Mr. Rose
watcr repeated tbe Items of cost of the sup
plement In question , showing that a small
margin of $ GO or $70 would be left the pub-
Usher at the price of $3.200. He refuted tbe
charges made by Mr. Hitchcock In his paper
that the purchase of these f opera was' an
act ot highway robtery and challenged Mr.
Hitchcock to explain how it happened that
he exposition had been Induce. ! to buy cop
ies of his paper , prlntPd on poor paper" , at
over 6 cents a copy , when The Bee proposed
to furnish a paper printed on superior papar
for 13-5 cents. He declared Ibat It might
as well be said that no banker ulo h * a
member of the board of directors eotild !
lora the exposition money , o/ that no mer
chant who is a director should sell any ma
terial to a third party to bo used 'n ' connec
tion with the exposition.
MR. HITCHCOCK'S ARGUMENT.
Mr. Hitchcock followed Mr. Rcsewater.
lie exclaimed with great force that the
matter had not been fairly presented , charg
ing that the situation and the- conditions
which had called forth the resolution were
radically opposite to tbo conditions when
the expedition purchased from Mr. Kountzo
the tract of land for a park and for the
exposition. He charged ttiat Mr. Rosewater
had used his position as a member of the
executive committee to buttonhole the other
members of tbe committee and to threaten
and cajole them Into doing his bidding. Ho
said the members of the executive commit
tee had been wheedled and cajoled Into ac
cepting Mr. Rosewater's suggestion , after
which Mr. Roaewater had left town. No
sooner was bis back turned , according to
Mr. Hitchcock , tban the committee com
pletely receded from thla posltica snd re
scinded its action. The day following Mr.
Rosewater's return to the city he again
wheedled and cajoled and buttonholed bis
colleagues on tbe committee , according to
Mr. Hitchcock , and they obediently got Into
line again ca the proposition.
At thla recital Mr. Roaewater demanded
that Mr. Hitchcock produce one man whom
be had "buttonholed"
regarding tbe matter
or one member ot the committee who had
been "cajoled" or influenced in any man
ner.
ner.Mr. . Hitchcock "took water" ca this propo-
sltlca and turned the dlscunlon Into another
channel , charging that this was not the flrat
attempt on the part of Mr. Rosewater to
"raid the treasury , " and be charged tha
If It was allowed to go on no paper couU
be expected to give tbe expedition free id-
vertlilog.
Mr. Roaewater endeavored .to cot Mr
Hltcbcock to admit or deny tbe rewonnWe
nesa of tbe price asked for tbe 200,000 coplu
of The Weekly BeoAaod supplement , but
Mr. Hitchcock declare * * jhat the nutation ot
cost did not enter lico-.tho question. s It
was a principle he m v con tending tor.
CORNERS H KICKER.
Mr. Roaewater thto demanded why Mr.
Hitchcock had Insisted , on the exposition
taking a lot of copies ( the World-Herald
at an exorbitant price When bo Is a mem
ber of the Board fcf { Director ! * . He said
that Mr. Hitchcock wae afflicted with an
Incurable attack ot Iteeepraterphobla and dad
endeavored to mako'.sapltal out ot the In
cident simply because Rosewater was con
cerned , and If any harm came to the expo
sition from the circumstance Hitchcock
would bo responsible/ It. ID conclusion
Mr. Rosewater eald tbat.not a cent had ever
been expended by htm In connection with
the exposition for which a voucher was not
on file with the name of the person to whom
It- was paid , but he challenged Mr. Hitch
cock to eay tbe came for the affairs of the
department which had been under his
charge , asking what had been done with a
certain $200 which Mr. Hitchcock had drawn
and1 refused to tell any ot the committee
to whom it went.
Mr. Hitchcock turned white with Ill-con
cealed rage and excitedly exclaimed that the
president had approved the voucher , but ho
failed to state what had been done with
the mcraey.
Mr. Rector asked If the resolution would
be retroactive It adopted. The president
ruled that the resolution would not be re
troactive.
A motion to refer the resolution to the ex
ecutive committee was followed by a re
quest from Chairman Llndscy that the board
act on the matter , instead of referring It
to tbe committee.
The matter was finally put to a vote , after
It bad been amended to provide that the
words "without advertising for bids" should
be added , and the resolution was adopted.
The board adjourned until 4 p. m. Friday
of this week.

PUIILISH DEBUS , XOT CREEDS.
Local I.caderi * nnd Laymen Take
llolil of the- Scheme Vlfroratmly.
It begins to look aa though one marked
feature of the gatherings to be held in this
city during the exposition would bo a Con
gress of Religious Activities. A meeting
was held Monday afternoon at the Commer
cial club rooms , when the general Idea of
the gathering was presented to the laymen
who assembled. They Instantly recognized
and heartily approved the scope and breadth
of the plan.
As stated , the project Includes a setting
forth , by prominent men of all shades of
belief , the various wajs In which the re
ligious spirit of tbo age Is making Itself felt.
The plan , while exceedingly flexible and ca
pable of contraction or expansion an might
seem best , suggested the consideration of
thwe seven departments of religious activity :
1) ) Missionary , (2) ( ) Philanthropic , (3) ( ) Social ,
4) ) Interdenomlnatlcnl. (5) ( ) Temperance , (6) ( )
Mucatlonal , (7) ( ) General Reforms.
The World's Congress of Religions brought
nto prominence the beliefs of different rc-
Iglous bodies , but the idea now in mind Is
o call attention to the activities which arc
ho product of the religious spirit. This is
ocilllarly a western notion , for here we
smphcfflze deeds more than creeds. It was
oneeded by those who conferred that such
a congress would Interest a very large num
> er In this tranmlesleslppl region and might
> e made the leading feature of the congress
work. It was the opinion of those who met
hat with such a plan carefully arranged the
cadlng speakers of the country could be
irought hero and permanent good would re
ult.
Another meeting will be held on Friday
evening at 8 o'clock In { he room of the di
rectors of the expoeltlon , sixth floor of Pax-
on block , when It Is hpped that those In-
ercstcd will be present tp consider the whole
scheme.

//fackintoshes.
We sell a good , honest , family waterproof mack
intosh for two dollars. That's as cheap as a good
mackintosh can be sold. You can iind mackintoshes
for less than that some as low as a dollar and you
can also find horses as low as ten dollars and watch
es as low as 75 cents. In buying a mackintosh the
question isn't how low but how good. Even two dollar
lar mackintoshes won't keep you dry if you are out
in a wagon all day in the rain. You couldn't expect
them to not at that price. We have as large and
complete aline of mackintoshes as can bo found in
any one house in the country and the prices run
9.50f 9.00 , 8.00 , 7.00 , 6.50 , 5.00 , 4.00 , 3.50 and 2.00
and for every difference in price there's a difference
in grade. Mackintoshes are treacherous things any
how and act differently under different conditions ,
and the safest way is to buy where you can depend
on the word of tbo salesman and where the reputa
tion of the house is a safeguard in case the one you
buy doesn't turn out all right. We don't warrant any
cheap mackintosh because we are careful with our
warrateus , but we never allow our customers to suf
fer for the faith they place in our goods.
