CHICAGO, April 24.-Just seven days
and the greatest show on earth will be ready to
commence, at least the most of it will be ready.
a tremendous amount of work conironts the
thousands Of busy men engaged in getting things
in shape, but the desired transformation is tax
ing place. and on May the Exposition is quite
likely to present spectacle worthy of Chicago
and the energetic managers of its enterprise. In
the Mining building an army of men is at work
arranging displays, and the same activity is dis
played in the building to be devoted to the WON
ders of electrical force and illumination. For
eign and State buildings are being pushed to
completion, and the larger number of them have
received the valuable consignnents which are to
interest and instruct visitors at the Fair. No
one who has watched the progress of the build
ing at the Fair and the collection of exhibits will
deny that the opportunity it will place before
the people is the most magnificent ever known.
Now the question arises, What will each man
get for his money? In Il general way men will
get from the Fair what they seek, whether pleas
ure, knowledge, or exhaltaton OF the soul One
could pass three or four visitors for the purpose
of scrutenizing the object of their visit and the
effect it will have on them as representatives of
classes. On the first one, tue curiosity seeker,
he need not waste much time, although perhaps
a large proportion may be OF that orber TO
such ayperson the Wo ld's Fair will be only an
enlarged Dime Museum, full OF freaks and Won
ders Of monstrous size. He will wander from
place to place in an aimess way, attracted hith-
er and thither by the things that are most gro
tesque, or that makes a noise seeing and hear
ing great many things and perceiving but lit
! tie of anything He will have first rate good
time and will tell ever afterward of the sights
and scenes OF the Columbian Exposition. The
next man will notice has something more
than an indefinite purpose of amusement, as he
thinks of his proposed visit. He wants to learn
something Th re is an abundant promise for
one who has this spirit, and it is well worth
while to consider how he may best formulate his
plans with this end in view. The subject Of the
Worlds Fair as university of liberal education
has occupied the attention Of great many.
There are SO many different branches of study 10
interest one that it will depend pretty much up
on the bent of the VISITORS mind Just what
branch they will care to devote the most a5ten-
ton to.
One may next considered type of class,
the philosopher whose mind is inclined toward
the abstract and contemplative scicnces the
metaphy sician, the student of books. What a
field of knowledge to him! Every man can find
good food for meditation ncXtsummer, and right
| in his own line, toe.
! There is great disappointment felt among the
managers that there are to be no Indians at the
Fair Buffalo Bill will have in his Wild West
Show the only Indians to be seen here next sum-
mer. No Indian camp, no befeathered warriors,
no picture OF the real place the natives OF the
! United States fill in the history Of our country
finds a place on the grounds of comparative inn
| portance. 1t would be an interesting spectacle
! to have had the history of the american Indian
! illustrated with vivid pictures of his domestic
! and warning life, with his his emancipation from
! the rule OF the medicine man ana the partly
successful efforts that have been made to civil
ize him. Foreigners and home folks as we'll
would like TO see the red man as he was
! and is now. Or course the Indian is an old song
with the Westerner, but great many Eesterh
people never saw a real 1--we indian.
Some seventy ticket sellers have been engaged
| to sell tickets to the Fair, aud Oh Saturday they
were kept busy submitting themsclve to meas
urmeets for the uniforms they will wear while
on duty. OF the number already selected, only
thirty are residents of Chicago the remaining, so
! coming from nearly every prominent city ii the
world. They arc rcquirodt to give bond for s. $50.
Many of them are ticket sellers who have bee.
