The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1891-11-13

An Excellent scheme by Means Of which
Everyone will be Able to spend a
week nj the Great Columbian
Exposition.

Perhaps The most enjoyable OF ali
the pleasures Df this life, both IN par.
iicipation and Ia = .cr "reminiscences i,
that OF seeing new and strange places
and people. Let a mans circunIstan-
ccs be ever so humble, and The horizon
OF his existence be ever So contracted,
| yet in his heart there lies latent the
spirit OF adventure which animated
Marco Polo and his cmulator. Es-
pecialIy mast this apply 10 the citizens
o. this great Republic, forIherc is not a
white man in il who has not personally
crossed The ocean or who has not de-
| scended from those who did so years
ago. This trait at pioneerism and
inquiry in the American mind is evil
dcnccd by the avidily with which
magazines making a feature Of travel
in other cliincs are read by the general
public.
But reading of the wonders but
poorly satisfies the craving tor ill.,
creased knowledge it is impossible
for The great majority 10 make a tour
of the world however, the ordinary
individual of the nineteenth century
is better off than Mahonei, who per-
force had 10 go TO the mountain be-
cause the mountain would not coinc
to him. The average citizen cannot
travel throughout the world but the
world will place itself on exhibition
for his benefit in 1898 at the Great
Columbian Exposition.
This, commemorative oil thc discov-
cry Of the new world, viii be the
world has seen. Every land will
contribute its treasures and curiosi-
ties; art, literature, music, mechan-
les, electricity, agriculture, h0rticul-
ture. pisciculturc. every science will
be represented with its latest dlscov-
cries. Every one will wish TO 90, but
distances in this country are great,
and when the time comes, many will
find themselves unable to spare the
required cash. 1t is pleasant TO note
that an Association has been organized
styled the New Orleans Worlds Fair
Excursion by public spirited men to
visit the grca; Exposition.
Their plan is simple, yet perfect
in lis simplicity. They undertake To
transport as many people as wish to
20 TO Chicago 10 visit The Worlds
Fair at eighty dollars a head, for which
they will furnish:
lst. Transportation to Chicago and
with The usual amount of bag
gage allowed 10 firsl-class passen-
gers.
81. Transportation for self and said
in Chicago from and 10 the
depot.
81. Six admission tickets 10 the
Worlds Fair.
4th. Six lunches at grounds.
9Th. First class board and lodging
for six days.
9th. Meals ell route going and conf
7th. Guides al the grounds.
Sth Ten days accident insurance
for $4,000.
9th. Transportation from hotel TO
Fair grounds.
10Th. Transportation for baggage
house, depot or steamboat at
New Orleans.
The eighty dollars ill not have to
be paid in a lump sum, for thcn the
plan would be a failure, ont by The
bank system the subscribers
will gain all the above advantages
without feeling the expense. The
Association issues a nOn-iorfeilaElc
certificate of subscription TO each sub
scriber upon payment of five dollars,
the balance payable III weekly or
monthly imstdlmcnts. AS the install
ments will not exceed $500 a mouth,
a subscriber can easily pay them.
II is an excellent scheme, and should
be uatronized by every u who
ishcs TO attend the Worlds Fair.
1t is seldom that We notice private
enterprises, but This Is less a private
enterprise than a public benefaction.
Mr. Il. IL. Power, the manager of
agents for the New Orleans Worlds
Fair Excursion Association is here
for a few days looking after the in
of the association. Several of
our leading citizens have already sub

This is an excellent way for friends
aud families Ia visit the great Column
biau Exposition. Now is the time TO
make up your parties, as The payments
per week or month is very small.
