city. Although it is against m.
religion (?) to ride on Sunday a
ternoon, yet | yielded to the temp
tation and joined the multitude
that went out twenty miles to viSi
; the beautiful parks and lakes, o
which Chicago people are, justly
very proud. We also visited
Jackson Park, the seat of the grea'
Columbian Exposition, into which
is soon to be collected al
the fruits of mans greatest tri,
umphs in mechanics, arts, agricul'
ture, invention and commerce.
1t being in such an unfinished con-
dition we cannot have the faintest
conception Of the grandeur those
great constructions will present
when completed. Chicago is a
city of mammoth hotels, and is
making preparations for even
larger ones, and there will be no
doubt about the sufficiency of no
tel room to take care of all the
people who will gather there from
all quarters of The globe to attend
the Worlds Far in 1893.
Monday morning at $50 we
babe farewell to that great city of
immense palaces of commerce. It's
teeming millions, its smoke and
din. and gathered ut the Chicago
and North Western Railway Sta
ton, where we found a train of
palace sleepers ready to move out
through The crowded manufacture
ing district, and soon we were
gliding by suburban villages that
seemed strung along the steel
bands of commerce like pearls Of
richest beauty. So pleasantly dill
the time pass before we were hard
ly aware of it we were stopped at
Milwaukee, that city celebrated
for having the largest brewelies IN
the world and the most famous
beers. We remained there just
long enough to have several hun
dred bottles of that world-renown-
ed beverage put on board, and
most of the passengers car testify
as TO the truth of what has been
said about the Milwaukee beer.
After leavingth city some of the
most enchanting landscapes and
rural retreats, with hill and dale.
laughing brooks, shimmering lakes
and shady groves pass like an
ever-changing panorama before
the view. Soon we reached Wau-
ke>ha, The far-famed, the waters
of whose springs + for the heal
ing of the afflicted throughout the
nation. There we were met at the
station by a committee of the citi-
zens. who had carriages prepared
TO take us riding through their
beautiful village, which, no doubt,
would have been exceedingly
pleasant, but Tor a drizzling rain
which was falling at the time. An
elegant lunch was spread in the
spacious dining room of the Foun
tain House, to which the three
hundred hungry editors did full
justice.
We will write more of this de.
lightlul watering place when we
go there to spend a few days.
We left there at $3.50 p. m, and
in two hours we glided into the
capital city of Wisconsin, renown-
ed Madison, which is beautifully
situated on four lakes. There we
were again captured by the citi-
zens and taken to the beautiful
lake of Menona, where boats were
in readiness to take us out upon
the ripping water, which was de-
lightful to those who could divest
their minds of all fear of a squall,
but we must confess to a weakness
in that direction, and felt much
easier when we were again on ter
ra firma. An elegant supper
awaited us at the hotels, after par
taking of which we repaired to the
Capitol, where a reception was
by the Business Mems As
ISOLATION, assisted by Gov. Peck.
the author OF "Peck's Bad Bow"
the mayor and other distinguished
citizens.
At 1870 p. m. we boarded the
train again and were off for The
capital city of the North Star
State. Having had a busy day,
and as nature had drawn her cur
tain over brooks and lakes, valleys,
hills and dales, we we're soon en-
sweet sleep and pleasant
dreams, and awoke in the morning
to find ourselves near the beauti-
and picturesque city of st.
We reached here about s
o'clock, and The confusion incident
rushing a crowd of five or six
hundred people into a hotel at one
lime, caused delay in the organi-
of the National Editorial
about two hours. The
organization took place at IL a. m,
and at 2 p. IN The editors with
heir lady friends were given a
ride of Two hours aroun1 this mag
nificen, hill city. The lavish hand
Of nature did a great deal toward
making ST. Paul the pretiiesi city
Of the Northwest, and what nature
