WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

The magnitude of the French ex-
hibit at the Exposition can be sur
missed from the fact that in the calcu-
lations as to its transportation to
Chicago 1t is estimated that 1t will
aggregate fully 5000 tons. The ex.
hibit, it is unnecessary to explain,
will consist chiefly of works Of art
and manufactures of the finer and
lighter description, and will conclude
very little In the way of heavy arti-
Q es, such as machinery.
A committee of insurance men has
inspected the system and methods
of fire protection established on the
Exposition grounds, and has reported
that they are In all respects adequate
and satisfactory. 1t found thousands
of fire buckets in the buildings, Bah.
cock extinguishers on every baud,
chemical engines at every necessary
point, hose lines reaching to the TOP
of the buildings, fire alarm boxes
numerous and easily accessible an
efficient fire alarm service, q system
of water WORK with q capacity Of
millions of gallons day aud night
aud steam engine houses and engines
= well drilled force of firemen.

cruel weight andhardness of the reality.
Lastly, in lieu of these shifting scenes,
came back the rude market place of the
Puritan settlement, with all the towns
people assembled and leveling their
stern regards at Hester Prynne-yes, at
herself-who stood on the scatfOld of the
pillory, an infant ON her arm and the
letter A, in scarlet, Enthusiastically en-
broidersd with gold thread, upon her
bosom.
Could it be true? She clutched the
child so fercely to her breast that it
sent forth cry; she turned her eyes
downward at the scarlet letter, and even
touched it with her finger to assure her
self that the infant and the shame were
real. Yes!-these were her realities
all else had vanished!

Chicago. July 3O.-Extensive preparations are DO
Ing made by all the Western roads TO carry the
crowds that to take advantage OF the cheap
rates to Denver. Every passenger car that can 10
had will be be put into service. and innumertble
special trains will keep the rails hot for several DAYS
between this city and the Rocky Mounta rs. Out
OF Chicago there will be thirty special trains run
BY the Rock Island, thirty by the Burlington about
thirty five by the Alton, and at least dozen by the
Atchson and an equal number by the Northwestern
and Maple Leaf Almost many more Will leave
st. Louis the Missouri Pacific the Wabash, the
Burlington. and the Alton. In addition to these
many specials VII be from other points. and
the five trunk lines reaching Denver from the Mis-
souri, River will have business than they have
ever been called upon TO handle before IN the limited
space OF time allotted to them.
Passenger troubles seem to be multiplying. The
latest cause for friction and illfeciing among pas
senger men IS the alleged discovery Of circular OF
Instructions sent ont by the Chicago Milwaukee
and st. Paul Road TO its agents. naming certain
Eastern lines as favored connections. An agree
mcnt entered into by few Eastern and Western
roads, after the withdrawal OF the Alton boycott.
providing for equitable division Of business among
Them without the payment OF commissions. was
the cause Of this circular being issued 1t directed
ticket agents TO route all through business orisnat
Ing at points on the st. Paul system equally over
the Pennsylvania. Michigan Central and Lake Shore
roads. The dlfferentill Ines are naturally stirred
up over this discovery. 1t means a loss OF consid
erable business to the Chicago and Erie the Wabash.
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Chicago and Grand
Trunk.
Chairman Caldwell. OF the Western Passenger Asse-
ciation Will wait until next week before selecting

differences between himself and the Atchlson Com
pany In the meantime he has nothing to say re-
carding the charge OF conspiracy made against him
and the members OF the Association by Passenger
Traffic Manager White Most Of the officials Of tho
roads included in the conspiracy charge are disposed

the levity is somewhat strained
