Some of the Witticisms 1t Has Called
Forth.
What sail we have for the distinguishing
idea of the fairl
In response to circular sent out by Mum
sey's Weekly soliciting suggestions on this
subject, we have received the following let
tiers, among others:
NEW York, Oct 80 1889
DEAR SIR-How would a mammoth statue of
Columbus discovering America through the large
end Of a telescope, SO as to take it all in at
glance do for distinguishing feature of the
Worlds fairs Build it of brass, as indicative of
American enterprise; have it the largest thing of
its kind in the world, and to pay for it, solicit
subscriptions from Spain and Italy.
Yours truly. FIAT JUsTTTIA
S1R-Iwould suggest that mammoth Uncle Sam
chasing gold dollar around globe representing
the earth, would be a realistic attraction The
mechanical working of the affair would be SINH
lar to that employed in the ulerry-g o-rounds at
Atlantic City Sincerely.
Boston GIRL
JERSEY CRY, Oct. 90
Mr.. EDITOR, DEAR SIR-What's the matter
with taking Bartholdi's Liberty and turning her
upside down in honor of Columbliss 1t would be
a unique way TO honor Christopher, but no more
unique than the style of liberty we enjoy in this
great and glorious world J. 3. W.
These are but a small proportion of the
best answers received up to the hour of going
TO press, and we feel that we can say, with
out any suspicion of violating truth, that
they indicate that we are as inventive as a
race as we are great and glorious as people.

GOOD UNDERSTANDING.
New York holds ont both hands to grasp
The great Columbus fair;
But if ChicaSos feet upon it gets
They surely hold it there

sas? Um-is it much Of a townl
Western Man-Wall, it amt much for size

Phenomenal, ehp
'Yessirree. DugoutviIle is the only town

this winter AS for Washington, she won't
have hers until lS92.-Washington Post.
CHICAGO WILL BE SAFE.
New Yorker-Just think of Chicago's Grim
inal record How could people attend
Worlds fair in Chicago without running the
risk of being robbed and murderedi
Chicago Man confidently - Oh, there
won't be any danger at al then; not par
ticle. Just as quick as the fair opens all the
robbers will stop burglarizing and go to keep
ing hotels.-New York Weekly.
ACCIDENTS AVOIDED.
Railroad Examiner-Your eyes are all
right; no color blindness at all. Now will
test your sense OF smell.
Applicant-Smell, sirl What has that to
do with a locomotive engineer2
Examiner-A great deal, my young man.
We have found that engineers who have a
too acute sense of smell are apt to run their
trains at dangerous speed when passing
through Chicago.-New York Weekly.
SARCASM FROM PITTsBURG.
1t is proposed IN New York to setup nickel
in-the-slot machines to receive Worlds fair
contributions -Pittsburg Dispatch.
A DISCOURAGING LACK OF PUBLIC SPIRIT.
The New Workers who are waiting for
other people to subscribe to the Worlds fair
guarantee fund are getting very much dis
couraged over the lack of public spirit shown
elsewhere Philadelphia Times.
FORGET THEMSELVES OCCASIONALLY.
1t is only in unguarded moments that the
average New Yorker remarks: 81 am going
to visit Chicago in 1892" But they all for
get themselves once in awhile.-Bloomingto
