own account.
William Brace is still almost an in
dispensable member of one of Chicago's
biggest and best legal firms. He looks
we'll and is doing well. Outside of
law a favorite topic includes boy
about five months old.
a confab on this subject in his Office
was interrupted by Harry c Brace,
now whiskered individual of manly
proportions. He is a newspaper
syndicate man, with an interest which
runs through the columns of 1900
papers. He is evidently dong well.
|. c.. Lambert is trusted chief in
one of the Marshal Field emporiums.
A good man he is, bound to stand high
with those who know him, and highest
with those who know him best.
Breoities.-The reports of extortion in
Chicago are much exaggerated.
Normal prices prevail and prompt,
clever attendance the rule.
MORE next week.
Adcice Visitors to the Fair, mainly
or exclusively, should stop as near by
as practicable, especially ladies, at
hotels conducted on the European plan.
Convenience and economy will thus be
gained. Breakfast outside and
lunches inside will save the visitor ex-
penses of meals be doesn't get on the
American plan.
Wait couple months, at least.
Thousands of articles for exhibit are
yet unopened.
Then, when there, the following
suggestion from the veteran Hadda-
way, of the Easton (Md.) Ledger, is
worth adoption
To see the Worlds Fair pleasantly and
profitably within a limited time, get good
map of the grounds and divide them up into
daily itineraries.
This advice followed, the subscriber
will sage enough money in few days
to pay for the best paper in this county

Fnis-The most resplendent view of
the grounds was obtained Friday night.
when oyer 10000 electric torches il
Illuminated the Basin and a search
light threw its binding blaze across
the lake. The scene was one which
would tax the resources of oriental
rhetoric. 1t was a realm vying in
splendor with the fabulous conceptions
of Aladdin. All round, above to the
SUBMITS of the environing palaces,
and below to the waters edge. CLEAN
ed electric lights. 1t was midnight in
the Court of Honor with radiance
overlaid. 1t was as though Carthage
had risen with tenfold impressiveness
and resumed her luxurious distinction
as queen of the cities. One could
fancy, too, that Plato and Aristotle
lived again and walked and talked and
questioned anew the sublime re-
searches of philosophy. The triple
fountain poured its waters upon the
broad terrace and rolled them down
wide stairway of marble into the
serene Basin as of yore the classic jets
of Rome washed the shores of the tide
less Mediterranean. At the other end
of the Court the colossal figure of the
Statue of the Republic, draped in
Grecian attire and resplendent in gold,
seems conscious of the ultimate i'm
perialism of Constitutional Liberty.
Greater than Atlas, she holds the
globe in one hand in the other staff,
not of support, but of reckoning i'm
port to the millions that still weep in
the shadows Of despotism. Altogether,
it is scene, the like of which may
have never before gladdened human
eyes, or stirred human hearts. 1t
challenges history to exhibit even its
model.
The Worlds Fair is called by
Chicago 1.-The Great White City," The
designation is most happy. 1t is an
aggregation of the distinguishing ex-
cellencies of metropolitan fancies. If
it were Genoa, it would be the Superb {;
Rome, the Eternal Padua, the Learn
ed Lucca, the Industrious Florence,
the Gentle Naples, the Beautiful.
