Roumania, at Bucharest, Il full length
statue Of Carmen Silva and another Of
her royal husband King Charles. This
same sculptor is now engaged on "A
colossal statue Of Farragut for the city
of Boston. One of the dearest friends
| have on earth, and one who is the
brightest novelist of America today
and one of the most popular; one
whose books are being read numer-
ously in Fairhaven today, is gradu-
ate Of Dwight of twelve
months standing. For years he
worked nearly all the time under
the influence of stimulants. today
he does not touch them although he
is constantly being feasted and feted by
his admirers. OF other persons Of dis
tinguished character known to me aS
having been successfully treated at
Dwight are Il brilliant journalist Of
Chicago, now successful publisher
there, who is also poet and whom /
had the honor to give his first days
work on a newspaper twenty years
ago; another, who is poet of national
reputation; another son Of a major
general in the Federal army and United
States senator who is graduate of
West Point and a prominent lawyer of
orator and now the editor and publisher
Of a splendid newspaper; another, who
is "A state senator in Missouri and one
Of the best known politicians in that
commonwealth; another, who was an
eloquent and impressive clergyman,
and who was retained by his church so
long as he drank whisky and con-
unued to preach, but who was fired"
by the vestry as soon as he went TO
Dwight to get cured. This one has
since been appointed one of the world
lecturers in the employ Of the Bichloride
Of Gold club Of the world, and has "A
better thing than preaching to bigOts
who would rather see him drunk i'm
the pulpit than have him confess his |
sins and attempt to correct them. Par |
enthetically, is that the religion of that |
charity without which all is as sound |
ing brass and "a tinkling cymbal?" It|
isn't the sort of religion my mother |
and my rector, and my conscience tell |
me.

people i'm the higher walks of life who /
have been rtcreated at Dwight by the /
Kelley eur.

but ne has it, ! have heard that the .

is so, DIR. Keeiey's investigation, and /.
experiments have reduced it To- "a /

That is discovery enough.
"Gc-, ! visited the Worlds Fair
grounds at Chicago. To describe what .
"a Wide-eycd, Obseryuut newspaper man
can see there now, would take great /
dea more than all of your paper for .
several ISSUES. For instance, there is /
one building the only floor of which .
covers about thirty-two acres of /
ground. The site of the exposition is /
on the lake front i'm the southwestern
suburbs Of the city, and from the lake .
lOgOOn~, canals and other picturesque .
waterways have been led, where the .
GOndola and all sorts of pretty and .
romantic craft will ply. There will be /
in the buildings and grounds a charm- .
ing, wonderful and vast display of the .
classic i'm architecture, and laudscapc /
The entire affair is almost /
lncOmprehcnsively comprising of |
great things in art, manufactures and /
commerce. In short, it will bc the .
greatest show on earth. Barnum and |
Forepaugh won't be i'm il. But Buffalo |
Bill will be, or near by. Speaking of |
Bison William, he invited me TO din |

turn from the South, and think that |
fastened my visit to Dwight and "a |
ride with my friends, Opie Read and |
Stanley Waterloo, to that now famous /
village which is visited every day from
Chicago by "A collection Of steam cars .
that is called by the Kelley cadets the |
jag train.
"The East seems generally to be
quite active and the business pulse is |
strong. Chicago especi lily is very
rushing and Of course the Worlds Fair .
has much to do with this, That great
exposition will do wonders for Wash
ington, though the great work of pre-
pairing for it is eclipsing the Pacific
coast, temporarily II reminds me, i'm
that particular, Of the preparations for
a children's party. The children are
kept i'm the background and out of the
way until everything is ready for the
curtain to rise on them.
POLITICALLY there is a mess. The
Democrats havB't the least idea who
will be nominated on their ticket for
presle lent. Though locally hope runs
high. I'm Iowa the talk is Of Boies, in
Illinois Of Palmer, Henry Watterson is
booming Carlisle for Kenlucky and
Maryland is redhot for German, while
generally red war waves its banners
between Hill and Cleveland. Still, |
that is not our fight. We have fight /
enough of our own. There are those 4
who believe that the convention will /
nominate Blaine by acclamation and .
then adjourn TO wait--as "Uncle |
Remus" would say-"to see what de |
news am gwine to be-" Aside from .
these, there are strong partisans Of |
President Harrison, and Governor |
