EUROPEAN VISITORS.
They VIII Come as Prospectors TO t
New World.

They VIII Come frOSpeCtorS 20 the
New World.
Hon. Walter Il. Gardner, the United
States consul at Rotterdam, forwards
all interesting letter upon the subject
TRANSPORTATION and subsistence of
Europeans who may wish 70 visit the
worlds fair. He SAYS that there has
been q great deal of comment lately in
European newspapers, and also great
deal Of inquiry at his consulate and
other United States consulates in
Europe. He says:
1.-The European, unlike the American,
does not decide and act quickly, he
must deliberate. His deliberation con-
corning personal visit to Chicago will
not begin until he has been anthori-
tatiyely informed Of the cost, and will
not eliminate in decision until long
thereafter The European is unlike
the American, too, in that a voyage
across the ocean is to him an event, not
an incident grown commonplace; his
resolution to make the voyage must
have time.
':What is here written relates, Of
course, to the European in moderate
circumstances, to whom the offer of
cheap fare would be an inducement.
The wealthy few will GO irrespective OF
low circular rates; bs.t the wealthy few,
whose interest and whose future are ir-
revocably European, will seek recrea-
ton only. The men of whom | write,
and with some of whom have talked,
young business men, tradesmen and
clerks, we'll educated, well disciplined
and OF good physical and mental and
moral health, will go as prospectors
alert to discover whether the rev world
holds for them better opportunities than
the old.
"RightH utilized, the event of the
worlds exposition may be made the in
centive of an ultimate immigration into
the United States OF class Of men and
women whose coming into any COM
.nunity would be welcome"

excess, and it is quite right and proper;
but why don't we hear something about
Mrs. Columbus? Probably but few peo-

such woman as Mrs. Christopher Co.
lumbus It occurs to me as particular
ly singular that in this day, especially
when women are being accorded SO
much of prominence-and largely by
reason Of their own enterprise, too
that upon this occasion the memory of
Mrs. Christopher Columbus is permitted
to be so entirely out of it instead of
in it.
II have keen reading up on the sub
ject lately and find that Mrs. Columbus
was probably more deserving of a share
of the credit af Mr.. Columbus success
than have been most of the unknown
wives Of weil-known men.
columbus was married in 1470, or
therea bouts to Miss Palestrello, of
Lisbon, whose father had distinguished
himself as navigator. A part Of Miss
Pa1estrello's marriage dover was a

as the sun went down, crowd of small

that the speakers of the evening did not
