CHICAGO, May !


Dear american
l cannot Keep my promise to write you
an account of the white City" and its
attractions. | have been in it for week,
constantly moving about, but can give
you no idea of its yastness, beauty, or
magnidcence. Every one should see it
who can. | only write now to urge the
good people Of our county of Hancock TO
Of money and trouble.
The buildings alone warrant the expense
and fatigue Of the journey, not only by
their vast size, but by their harmonious
proportions. their richness of Ornamental
ton, and their beauty Of style and color
The most exquisite features of architec-
tural beauty, columns, capitals, archi-
traves, entablatures, pediments. statues
and bass reliefs are displayed in richest
profusion. Bones and turrets rise high
in air, magnificent and majestic. am told
by friends here who have Travelled extern
sively in Europe and the East, that the
great rectangle enclosing the Basin"
and bounded by the Peristyle, ami the
Agricultural, the Liberal Arts, and Ad-
ministration Buildings, is not surpassed
nor even approached in size or splendor
by any square or plaza in the world. St.
Peters square III Rome. and St Marks
square In Venice fall far short Of this
great square of the White City. When
this square is lighted up 81 night by thou
sands upon thousands of electric lamps,
the splendor is indescribable.
Here in this single park the tour of
the world can be made in thirty days or
less. Every nature has sent here its
choicest fruits Of field. garden and orchard;
its finest products Of mechanical ingenuity;
It's masterpieces in modern art and
science. Many of the nations have also
sent to the Midway Plnisance genuine
specimens Of their peoples to display their
home life, costumes and manners. The
Midway Paisance is world street,
thronged with representatives of many
races and nations. Here one can drink tea
with the japanese. Chinese or Cingaese,
or coffee with Turks, Javanese, or Bra.
zilians. One can drink wine with the
French or the Spaniards and beer with
Austrians or Germans. | am told that
whiskey is obtainable in the Irish village.
The Austrian beer can be had In the fac
smile Of Tyrolese inn, and German
beer in a Rhenish castle. The native wait
ers add to the foreign air of the whole.
The musical can attend Persian concerts.
Turkish theatres and Egyptian shows.
Everywhere can be heard the orchestras
of America, France, Germany and Italy
The whole great Fair is Congress Of
Nations, an exploration of this White
City" is tour of the world. The traveller
will return home with broader mind and
larger heart. with increased knowledge
and with joyous memories sufficient for
lifetime. All these will be many times
worth the troubles, fatigues. economies
and sacrifices that may be necessary.
