Trying to Settle the Color Question.
A strong move is or foot in Arkansas
just o looking toward the passage Of Il
state law requiring. railroads to provide
separate coaches for colored passengers.
The matter is being earnestly discussed,
both by the people and press of the state,
and is said to be meeting with universal
favor. 1t is even claimed that the better
class of blacks indorse this plan. The
movement is constantly gaining force and
the indications are strong That a bill will
be introduced in the legislature drawing
the color line in Arkansas with an iron
hand.

The Street illumination.

The appearance of the city after dark was
a striking feature of the carnival. The
street arches of colored lights and the long
rows of curb line arches gave the city a
brilliant appearance in the darkness, and
the rays of light from the electric globes
that we hug in the high tower of the palace
throw their rejecting rays over several
blocks and etfectually light up the lower
portion of the city in the vicinity of the
palace.

Hot Southern Blood Stirred.

The Georgia Legislature was quite bel
ligerent the other day, and three couples
of representatives were, at one time,
negotiating through friends. These nego-
tiations may end in explanations on the
floor Of visits to surrounding states for he
purpose of lighting. The first and second
misunderstanding arose during the debate
on the proposed industrial school for girls,
and the third on the proposition of the
legislature to visit the bait. efeld of Chick
amauga. The three sets of candidates for
admission to the dueling grounds were:
Representatives Tignor and Atkinson,
FELTON, and Brooks, Foute and Thurman.

The Interior.


Within, the palace is scarcely less q
solid mass of corn and agricultural pro-
ducts than without. All the columns,
arches, supports, ceilings and stationery
furnishings are covered with corn or other
form of farm product. The exhibitions
occupy booths about the sides of the
building, while q large band stand in the
center faces the space allotted to the audi
ence. The splendid list regimental band,
from New York, gives afternoon ard even
ing concerts daily. The various counties
and interests represented in the booths
are clearly defined by corn signs, while
everywhere there is that bewildering COM
bination of natural colors into forms of
beauty which are the wonder of beholders.
The artistic results attained in this years
palace are such as could only be reached
by the experience gained III former years.
Columns would not describe the thou
sands of traceries wrought in harmonious
beauty from natural colors only. AS a
trlte old saying has 1t, the palace must
be seen to be appreciated"

In bidding you welcome once again to

Far back in the almost limitless past.
while yet the races that now people the civ

We're those that nature provides-their food

Tho Wild Man of Adrian,

A wild man is parading himself in the
woods sixteen miles north OF Adrian,
Mich, in q perfectly nude condition,
soaring the natives half out of
their wits. Pursuit seems useless.
He can run like a deer. 1t is thought he
stops in the trunks of hollow trees and
feeds on what nuts he can gather and on
the young lambs and chickens stolen
from farmers. He is considered harmless
by the men, but the women and children
are kept in mortal terror. Cold weather
will probably drive him to shelter.

Exterior Decorations Of tho pa1ace

Exterior Decorations of tho Palace.
The corn palace OF 1889 in the glory of
completion is distinct from the palaces Of
of 1887 and 1888. The general purpose of
the whole is, of course, the same as in the
previous years, viz: TO display by decor
alive use the agricultural and natural pro-
ducts of the magnificent agricultural realm
Of the upper Missouri valley, Of which
Sioux City is the market and the trade
capital. This is the corn palace idea. 1t
is original with Sioux City. The first
palace for such purpose in the world was
built in Sioux City in the autumn of 1887.
The possibility Of producing splendid
artistic effects on such a scale in such q
way was then first discovered. The work
was all done, as we'll as the idea conceived,
by Sioux City men and women.
Every exterior surface of the structure
is covered and decorated with. some form
OF natural products, corn being the pre-
vailing material. The whole is q vast dec
grated pavilion. Ears of corn are sawed
lengthwise into halves or into transverse
sections an inch thick. These sections
ore nailed firmly on the sheeting of lum-
Der which forms the walls, making a great
variety of patterns AMI figures, but nil
combined and subordlnated to a general
artistic plan. Sections of all colors of
corn ears are used-yellow. white, red, va
riegated, the pearly Ssquaw corn" and all
intermediate colors. The vast surface is
broken by the projections and openings
into convenient fields for decorative in.
genuity.
Take INT of the simplest forms, three
ears of white corn nailed on vertically alter
mating with three yellow ears horizontally,
and then consider the possible combina-
tons as to color and position, to say moth
ing of the forms of the figures and the
combinations of the same. By laying on
the corn according to perspective many
il usions are produced. Thus the portal
is q massive arch. Above it in an ample
space is a shield and folded flags, the folds
and stars and stripes being perfectly rep
resented by red, white and blue squaw
corn.
These colors of corn are further re-
lieyed and varied by trimmings of other
parts of the corn plant. such as the stalk,
blade, tassel, husk, etc.. as we'll Us of
grains, grasses, sorghum seed and other
growths. The boundary lines of fields of
decoration and of the parts thereof, as we'll
as their backgrounds, are formed by o
great variety of these reliefs Of dressing.
Every variety of fringe and border is thus
made. The effects Of millet, flax and sor-
ghum seed in this m ,nner arc especially
rich and beautiful.
