a SHORT TALK ABOUT BAGGAGE.

The committee on baggage respect;
fully submits the following rules TO gov
ern those intending Ia bring baggage:
Ascertain rs soon as possible where
You are going 10 stop in the city
You will bring ~ little baggage with
Won rs possible.
Put what wearing apparel You may
necessarily require ia a v9ise aud take
it with YOU into the coach; by SO doing
you will be relieved of all the annoy
ance and Inconvenience at destination.
All parties having baggage checked,
will have their names and permanent
address plainly painted or tagged ON
both ends (if trunk. giving name in
full, town and State, that in case strap
check is lost off the baggage it will OBJ
viate the necessity of opening q few
hundred pieces that look just alike to
identify the right one. This is one, if
not the most important point, so that in
case n strap check is lost off it will en-
able the owner TO get his baggage
while at the Encampment, otherwise he
may not. II piece is valise have il
stamped on the side or attach n strong
tag to the handle giving this piece OF
information.
Railway companies will refuse to
check small yaliSes, packages or bag
gage not securely strapped or roped.
Govern yourself accordingly.
The Davis Omnibus Transfer Com
pany will have check agents work all
| trains entering Milwaukee. These
agents will exchange checks with you
for any camp, barrack, hotel or private
residence in the city for anominal sum.
The check given you by check agent
must be left at the desired destination
to be surrendered to the driver who
delivers the baggage, or the baggage
pany warehouse.
Each person will keep the checks de-
livered to him at starting point in his
own possession until the same is sur
rendered to transfer agent, who will
give you another for il; thus to avoid
the crossing of baggage.
All Posts intending to be in camp to-
gether should appoint baggage agent,
who will check all baggage for the Post,
and who will hold all checks until they
are surrendered to transfer agent on
train. This will expedite matters and
will relieve other members Of the Post
of any further trouble.
We have secured large warehouses,
and, with the system of exchanging
checks on train in vogue, we expect 10
be able to deliver all baggage promptly
provided tho above rules are adhered
to by those attending EncampmenJ.
We will have in as central locality as
possible, an unclaimed baggage room
or clearing house," that when the
transfer company cannot deliver be-
cause of wrong address or owner chang
ing his quarters. or in any other emer-
gency, we may have place to deposit
it. 1t may there be delivered on pre-
sentation of proper check. We will
have special telephone connections be-
tween clearing house" and all bag
gage rooms WILLIAM IL. DODwoRTH.

PARIS LETTER.
Special for the HERALD.

Paris, June z, 1SS9.-Now that the
exposition IS fairly open and visitors
have had good opportunity 10 make
comparisons between the exhibits Of
the different countries, the word has
passed down the line that the Ameri-
can Industrial Exhibit is the poorest
1t does not compare in point of quality
and artistic effect with that of Great
Britain. 1t Is not representative, and
were it not for the displays Of jewelry,
silverware and few other articles. it
would rank far down in the list. The
reason for this failure is not far to seek.
Americans had the assistance of con-
gress while the English and many
other exhibits were the result of private
enterprise. Englismen dubbed together,
paid for their space, paid for their own
freight, paid for handsome show cases
in fact paid for everything. There is
hardly a presentable case in the whole
section allotted to the United States. A
stroll through the American display
would suggest the County Fair. So
much tor the industrial exhibit. Turn
ing to the machinery exhibit we find
that America leads. The machinery is
acknowledged by all to surpass that of
other nationsjn point of construction
and simplicity. In electricity the United
States is also far in advance of any
other nation. The Edison exhibit fairly

ing John Chinaman. The people from
distant climes are as delighted with it

"But will it produce sounds in other

by the simple minded peasant.
In the Industrial exhibit there are Il

THE ENcAmPMENT.
READ AND REMEMBER.

The hotels of Milwaukee compare
favorably with those of other American
cities of 100000 population, and some
of them have the reputation of being nm
surpassed These hotels will furnish ac
commodations at regular rates, at from
81 80 to $500 per day, during the G.
A. Il. Encampment. They will com
fortably entertain multitude of peo-
pie at this rate at that time. The hotels
however, decline to engage rooms in adj
vance to those desiring TO attend the
&. A. X. Encampment in Milwaukee
next August. They deem it more just
and. in the end more satisfactory to all
concerned to assign rooms 10 guests on
their arrival and in the order in which
they come, thus giving all more equal
chance than if rooms were engaged in
advance and held by persons intending
to occupy them when the Encampment
opens.

EXCEPTIONS.

In view of the fact that the officials
of the &. A. Il. are obliged in the per-
Torrance of their duties TO attend the
National Encampment and that they
must be provided with suitable lodg-
ings, it seems proper that an exception
from the foregoing rule shall be made
in their favor by the hotels. The Com
mittee on Hotels, Accommodations and
Public Comfort have under their CON
troll limited amount of room in the
hotels which they will assign to the
proper persons as above suggested.
DEPARTMENT COMMANDERS
who desire hotel accommodations for
themselves, members of staff, delegates
and post commanders will please make
applicationsto r. q. Spencer, Chair
man or Col. f. j. Refs. Chief Clerk, 443
Milwaukee ST., Milwaukee, Wis. The
committee are now making assignments
of department commanders, members
of staff. delegates and post commanders
to lodgings in good private houses. Ex-
cellent accommodations in private resi-
dences and good boarding houses are
available Mt moderate rates.
BOARDING PLACES FOR 10000 PERSONS.
The Committee on Hotels Accommo-
dations and Public Comfort will COM
plete their final canvass of the city for
board and lodging about the end of
June when they expect to have on their
list accommodations for 70,0O0men and
woman during the G.. A. Il. Encamp-
ment. Accommodations for about 5000
people have already been secured in
boarding houses and private resi-
d6nces. C. A. X. Bulletin.

A ST.. PAUL inventor has discovered
that the Canada thistle produces fibre
that makes the best quality of Irvine.
We trust this is true, for while we do
not want to see these thistles grown as
a crop, the fact that they may be made
to some extent useful will cause bugs
to eat them, worms to chew their root,
heat to parch them, frost to freeze
them, rust to blight them and all the
disease and dangers that menace yege-
table life to fasten upon them. There
is now hope that the thistle VIII be de-
stroyed. The ST Paul man is bene-
factor Of the race. His name should
be given to the world that a grateful
public may talk about building monu-
mcnt when he dies.

HARPER S.

William Dean Howells will continue
in HARPER $ MAGAZINE for July the dis
eussion of the dramatic outlook in
America begun by Brander Matthews
in the number for June. He says: I'VE
believe that the American drama, like
the American novel, will be more and
more a series of sketches, of anecdotes,
Of suggestions, with less and less ale
glance TO any hard and fast intrigue. :"
He reiterates his view as follows:
Again we wish to put forward our
herosy that for play plot of close
texture is no more necessary than for a
novel; that for either, in dealing with
modern life. il would be an anachrOn-
ism Praising the work of Messrs.
TompSon, Harrigan, Burgess, and Hoyt,
he says. I'VE do not at all pretend
shat they have produced great drama.
But we do pretend that in such pro-
longations of sketches as they have
given they have made the right begin
ing of an American drama He adds
we believe, moreover, that national
drama can arise with us only as 1t has
arisen with other peoples: that is, out
IF some such wilding native growths as
these authors are cultivating." He
agrees with Mr.. A. M. Palmer upon the
absence of public taste in regard to
the drama. and reviving the managers
reminder that this taste exists only in
countries where dramatic art has for
centuries been fostered by the people,
and oftentimcs protected and patron
ized by intelligent governments, he
says Perhaps we may yet, when the
people really come to their own, have q
municipal theatre in every city and
town, sustained by q tax. where the
best dramas may be seen for tenth
of the price one now pays to see the
worst.
