STATE FAIR TO ENTERTAIN WOMEN Managers Expect 100,000 to Take Advantage of Rest Rooms and Restaurants Next Week. TO SHOW NATIVE HAND WORK Embroidery Cross-stitch, Lace Knit- ting and Weaving to Have Places In Exhibition Rooms. PLAN SUFFRAGETTE PARADE Minnesota Society, Under President Alice T. Hall, to Tour Grounds in Autos. Imagine entertaining 100,000 or more women. It will be quite a par- ty, for the management of the state fair has spent months planning for it, and the women in charge of the de- partments that are of special feminine interest have been busy all week car- rying out the plans, so that when the army of guests begin to arrive Mon- day from the north and south, east and west, everything will be ready. The woman's building will be under the management of Supt. E. J. Stilwell, of Minneapolis, and under the immediate direction of Dr. Clara Luther, who has been such a success- ful hostess for several years. One- half of the space will show what wom en can do with their hands and a needle or a crochet hook. Dr. Luth- er estimates that enough crocheted quilts have been entered to reach from the fair grounds to Hamline University, and there is also a mile or less of other quilts. Some of them are quite artistic, a revival of the dainty tulip and rose designs, belov- ed of cur grandmothers, and which a twin city church society makes and sells for $25.00 and $35.00 a quilt. A white coat made from linen actual- 1y woven in Minneapolis and rugs of native flax do more than hint at a new state industry. Will Show Handiwork. As for sofa pillows, center pieces, lace collars, tatting, embroidery, the array promises to be amazing. One is tempted to ask where it all came from, and to wonder if the women of the state have done anything since the last fair but work for premiums at the coming one. The odd things have not been forgotten, and one of the first cbjects brought to the Woman’s building was a drapery made of eucal- yptus shiicks and beads, by a woman over seventy years old. She must have had more patience than Job, even, for there are 10,000 shucks that had to be pierced and strung to make one curtain. Native hand craft of the foreign born wemen of Minnesota will be shown under the direction of the in- dustrial committee of the Minneap- olis Woman's club, which has done so much to foster them. The Scandinav- ians, Germans, Russians, and the women of southern Europe are very skillful with the hands, and the em- broidery, cross stitch, lace work, knit- ting and weaving always attracts at- tention from the less clever Ameri- cans. Mrs. Andreas Ueland, of Min- (Continued on last page.) OVER THE CABLES Geneva, August home from work along the bank of the Rhone, at Bellegrade, a young mechanic named Dubois heard cries of distress, 30.—Returning and seeing a woman struggling in the stream, plunged in, and started ‘to tow her to safety.

XXX August 30.—Emperor Franz Josef has given Lieutendnt von Blaschke, the military aviator, $5,- 000 that he may marry.

Recently, Blaschke earned $7,500 in flying competitions and in recognition of his aerial prowess, the emperor' decided to make up the bal- ance. Vienna, X X X Paris, August 30—Thousands have signed petitions for the release of Sister Valentinien, of the Order of the Holy Ghost, recently arrested at Lorient for what the newspapers term “the crime of charity.” The techni- cal charge is illegal practice of medi- cine, the illegality censisting in doc- toring the poor free of charge. A fine was assessed against her last March. She was unable to pay but evaded arrest, her whereabouts be- ing concealed by the peasantry, un- til a few days ago when she was seen on her way to mass, and locked up.
