The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1892-10-26


CHICAGO, Oct. 23-[Special. People
haven't any idea how things are goingto
look at the Worlds fair grounds until
thew see for themselves. No matter how
many pictures of it one may study ne
will be very much surprised when lie
goes TO the fair next summer ana sees
what has really been done. There Is
nothing mean about Chicago's section OF
the Globe when it comes TO matters ike
this.
This weeks happenings at the big en-
closure at Jackson park have opened the
eyes of a good many people, American
and otherwise, both as to the size OF the
coming show and the trouble it IS to
take care of ones self in a crowd hat so
completely runs over Chicago as this one
has. Accommodations have been worse
than st a premium. The man counted
himself lucky who was able TO get hold
Of twelve square feet Of cot and enough
hall space to hold it, while he slept at
anywhere from one dollar to three dol
lars a hight. Such a thing as having a
room was not to be thought OF, unless
one arrived early in the week, or had Sc
cured it in advance by paying a high
price long before he was ready to use IT,
The dedication tool three days and
was a wonderful affair. People from all
over the world came to see it. Every
one connected with the nations affairs
at Washington seemed to take especial
pride in dropping work and coming over
10 the exciteable West to take in the
proceedings. Officials from the vice
president down, with every intermediate
rank imaginable, were on hand. The
ministers plenipotentiary from every ma
ton of the globe sparkled most luxu-
riantly in their un-American clothes, and
appeared to enjoy it. Governors from
nearly every one of the sisterhood OF
states, surrounded by their stalls, and
looking much more dignified, but far
less snowy, than their companions, min
gled with the crowd in a thoroughly
democratic way and lived magnifcently
at the expense of the people. Senators
and congressman were common for the
time and were hardly noticed by the
thrOng.
The three days were a perpetual jam in
the streets and everywhere else. When
the civic parade, ten miles long, went
through the business part Of town, stand
ing room could not be had even on the
roofs of the twelve and fourteen story
buildings along the route. Every win
dow in these enormous specimens OF
C~hicagoism was a box, with seats taken
eagerly at So a piece, and people stood
fol five solid hours in positions that you
could not have forced them into on Ordi-
nary occasions. No space that could
afford a view-be it ever so meagre-ot
the marchers was left unused. Vice
President Morton spent three hours on a
stand at the north end of the p~Ostotfice
and watched the movements of the line
responding to the salutes of the eighty
thousand men who passed in review. I'll
was thanked on either side by the COVER
nors and their staffs, who first rode by in
CARRIAGES anu ILSH CdLlC III ny a SIu Gil
trance into their boxes. In North Caro-
/lina's part Of the parade there were three
carriages, one of which held Governor
Holt and Adjutant-General Glenn, while
the others were occupied by the COVER
nOr's staff.
Thirty two acres Of people saw thu
dedicatory exercises in the enOrmou!
manufacturers building Friday, but no
one per cent of the hundred thousand
heard q word that the speakers said. The
was the singing by a chorus of 5000
persons who sat at one end of the vas
structure on a raised platform that in th'
immensely of space looked hardly large
enough for 500.
More than usual homage vas paiC
Governor Holt here, which is accounted
for by the fact that in addition TO his be
ing the representative of one of the orig
inal thirteen states, everybody was inter
ested IN him because of the fellow feel
ing e~ngendered by the famous remark o
one Of his distinguished predecessors t
the governor of South Carolina. Allu
sion TO this philosophical bit of com
ment has been frequent all week, when
ever Governor Holt would appear or b
mentioned. The governors big, hand
some adiutant, General Glenn, who
constantly at the chiefs side, has bee
the object of seas of admiration from tn
ladies.
The governors party came up in tn
private car of Col. A. b. Andrews, con
missioner at large of the fair and is quar-
tered at the Palmer house. The crow
is made up of Colonel and Mrs. Ar
drews, Miss jamie Andrews, Mrs. f.
Laird, daughter of Governor Holt Mi:
Mildred McPheeters, of Raleigh, repre-
sentative of the Old North State in IL
