THE GUARANTEE FUND
That Insures the Success of Cinoin-
nari's Big Show.

One OF the most encouraging circum-
stances In connection with the first
stages of this great project was the IN
terest and enthusiasm manifested UNI
versally in the immediate establishments
of the guarantee fund.
The Queen City arose in It's majesty
and mupifiosnce, and considering nos
the order of going, but mainly to get
there, its publio-s pirited citizens, repre-
senting every industry, cane forward
and contributed of their means, large or
limited, to the required amount OF one
million and Atty thousand dollars. VINO
can imagine what possibilities thsre may
be realized from so great sHnn, sA In
cash. In coin of the realm and suostan-
t,al bank notesf II this sum were laid
ant In a long line of one-6ollar notes, it
would reach from Cineinnatt 70 Colum-
hus and onoe around the Psnitanttary.
It would pay the admission ice TO the
axnosition of every man, woman and
child in the cities of New York, Chicago
, and st, Louis. 1t would make 25,eo0 II D.

dogma or a party principle. The good
natured Boniface, from mine host OF the
sumptuous and elegant hostelries deals
equally and Justly with the proud of
purse and the pilgrim of scanty means.
In a like manner will the visitor be wsa-
coined through every plane OF the enter
tainer, to the genial hostess with beam
ing face, and apron spotless white, whe
gladly shares home with her guests for
pittance.
Another matter to be considered Is the
location of these hotels and other avail.
able boarding places. The hotels are all
located upon the lines of horse-cars
passing the Exposition grounds, or In
very close proximity. The stranger
who desires less pretentious quarters
during his stay can make as pleasant
arrangemements through the facilities
which the Board of Directors have pro-
vided, as is elsewh here mentioned. The
resources of entertainment are unl1m-
myrIads; the city, with its pleasant SUE
burbs encirchng, has unbounded re-
sources for entertainment of all grades
and prices.
To feed the immense concourse of peo-
pie, the fertile slopes of the Ohio Valley
are making ready to yield up its yellow
harvest, the bluegrass regions of the
Corn-cracker, and the fat lands of the
Hoosier States will flow with milk and
honey, ana the cattle and hocks OF tha
Buckeye State will leave their pastures
and folds on g hundred thousand lofty
hills to contribute their part to the sue
cess of this great occasion.

ENQUIRE WITHIN"
A Department for the Dissemination
Of Information
Where Questions May be Answered
by Visitors to the Great
Exposition.

The establishment Of this bureau u
signal evidence of the enterprise and
foresight of the Board Of Directors, an
ticipating as it does, the utmost OF the
requirements of those who will 1ock to
the city the coming summer. Where
shau we find accommodations and
wherewithal shall we be fed, are prob
lens to the visitors of more Importance
than how shall we get there or when
shall we go. To solve this problem ar
angements have been perfected in the
the fu Hest manner. A complete list OF
all the hotels, boarding houses, private
families who will entertain, eating
houses, restaurants, cafes, and all the de-
sirable apartments and rooms to oe IoR
rent will be oulletined at the headqusr-
ters of this board. This will enable par
ties at any distance to obtain at once
| answer by letter to any questions, or ar
rangemenLs may be made Tor accouAno-
| dation, during any contemplated so
| journ, limited or protracted, IN TINS citys
| with no danger OF exorpltant cnarges.
There is still another important feas-
| ure of this Board, which is Dy no means
| to be disregarded. There Is always In
| such vast assemblages large proper

visit of day to the Exposition and are

RAPID TRANSIT
Furnished to the Hand OF the Fjsi-
tor to Cincinnati.
Cable Roads Traversing the Queen
City in Several Directions
Towards Points of
Attraction.

In the matter of rapid transit there
are now in successful operation In Gin
cinnati three well-equipped cable rail-
yavs-the vine-street Cable Railway,
with the Fountain Square and Clifton
for its termini; the Walnut Hills Cable
Railway, with Fountain Square and
East Walnut Hills as the termini, and
the Mt. Auburn Cable Railway, extend
ing from Fourth street out Sycamore to
Ayondale. The main features OF this
system OF public conveyance are power
station, with capacity sufficient to ac-
commodate any amount of travel; an
endless cable, going and coming, To-
Gated midway between the rslis
OF each track, and in ditch
sunk below, through which Is
constructed an iron conduit with
pulleys, wheels and other such friction
diminishing devices. Upon the front
end of the car Is a lever connecting with
a clutch or "grlp," which drops from the
car to the cable travelling below. By
tightening and loosening this clutch the
car Is carried along with the cable or
motion stopped. The expenses OF this
system over horsepower are consider
ably less, and it is evident that they Will
continue to decrease in proportion as Its
! management and economy become more
| and more understood and the defects
which may exist are rernedled.

The programmes are better suited to
the diverse tastes OF Festival audlence
than at any previous time. The leading
work will be Mendelssohn's Biblical or
atorio, "St. Paul." composition which
he deemed his pest, and which inspires
the listener to high thoughts and holy
aspirations. Ranking next, perhaps,
will be found RubiHstein's "Paradlse
Lost" a dramatic work in the oratorlo
| vein, and replete with beauty. The
music illustrates in masterly way the
| grandeur and sublimity of Millions i'm
mortal verse, of the existence of which
| the libretto gives no hint. The words
utilized are bare OF descriptive force
when read for the sake OF comparison
but taken In conjunction with the ac-
| companying music, which Is symphonic
! in breadth, they combine to form q pro-
| duction that approaches closely the IL
| limitable dimensions traversed by the
| blind poets muse. Looking further,
and we find the third composition in
| Dvorak's "Specter's Bride" @ dramatic
cautata written for and produced at the
great Birmingham Festival in England
| last year. In it is displayed to the fun
the erratic and wildly disporting genius
of the peculiar man-its author. There
is the midnight bell, the gruesome
hour, the phantoms, the beat OF
horses hoofs tireless and measuring the
distance to the tomb with ever increas-
ing speed, the ghostly bridegroom,
hoarse voiced, mysteriously cloaked
and the lovely bride thinking of life
and passionate, enduring love, rather than
of the awful end legend tells us awaited
the termination of the wild night ride
The program me will also contain Cen
