accurately of what their eyes have seen
and their ears heard, and those who de-
pend on them for their everyday in
formation will be more fully and re-
liably informed than they could other
wise have been.
The fair officials have done all in their
power to render the visits of the nota-
bles enjoyable, according them every
possible privilege and in every conceiva-
BILE way ministering to their comfort
and convenience. 1t is safe to predict
that in all the worlds fair season there
will not be an c1ent which will add
more to the history of the exposition
than will the meeting of the newspaper
people.
Saturday is at present the great day
at the fair. The haif-holiday granted
by many of the business houses of the
city on that day to give their employees
a chance to visit the white City"
swells the number of admissions to
more than double that of any other
day of the week. There is also much
greater incentive to visit the fair on
Saturday, and especially in the evening,
in the superior attractions which are
offered in the form Of fine musical con-
certs and brilliant tilluminations. There
are several bands constantly employed
at the grounds, and they perform every
day, but on Saturday, in view of the in
creased attendance, the directors exert
themselves to furnish something extra
good. The illumina tons in the evening
defy description. They must be seen
to be properly understood and appre-
ciated.
, The average daily attendance for the
first three weeks of the exposition has
been in the neigh hborhood of thirty
thousand, Saturdays excepted. The
regular Saturday crowd is about three
times that number. At that rate, Of
course, tnere is no money being made
as the regular daily expenses of the
fair greatly exceed the amount re
ceived from the sale of tickets, but the
attendance is on the increase, and when
the summer season is fairly on it will
be twice or three times as large as at
present, and IN The fall season the rich
will come. One reason why there is rush
small attendance just now is that the
knowledge OF the lncompleteness OF the
exhibits has been so widely published
that it is keeping great many out
siders from coming until later on.
Much has been said and written
about the sights to be seen in the Mid

Bosporous is too dignifed to notice
any jesting remarks about his ward

The story is told of one venturesome
Turk that he conceived strong desire
to possess suit of American clothes,
and late one night stole away from the
Plaisance and sought the "old clio" men
OF Clark street. 1t is hardly necessary

the Plaisance, who, when they recog-
nized him, set up such yell of derision
that he crawled into an out of-the-way
corner, where he remained, like coon
in hollow tree, until some kind friend
brought him another outfit of fez and
baggy trousers. In these he speedily
clad himself and stored away his Clark
street regimentals as curiosities.
In half hours walk through the
Plaisance one may hear nearly all the
languages spoken in the world, and
among them some that are rarely ever
spoken in this country. Then there is
the mingling '.of the many strange
costumes heuar1-skinned citizen of

next door to each other for years in
stead. of a, few days. 1t is indeed a
strange thing that has come to pass
here in Our city, the name Of which but
a few years ago was unknown among
the nations which now find harbor

TALL PEOPLE,
Recorded Heights of Il Few of the Worlds
Greatest Giants.

Recorded Heights of u Few Of tho Worlds
Greatest Giants.
The Talmud gives figures to prove
proportions; standing on the earth he
could look into Heaven without raising
on tip-toe. About one hundred years
ago, 1887, a learned Frenchman pub
ished book in which he attempted to
prove that Father Adam was one hun
dred and twenty-three feet high and
Mother Eve but five feet less in stature!
What a wonderful degeneration there
must have been between that time and
the time of Christ. Pliny, who lived
and wrote at about the beginning Of
our era, says: '"The tallcst man that
hath been seen in our age was one
named Gabara, who in the days of
Claudius, the emperor, was brought out
of Arabia; he was nine feet and eight
inches in height"
The Emperor Maximus or Maximin
was eight feet in height; so, also, was
giant exhibited at Rouen in the year
1735.
DIR. Goropipus, of the French Aca-
DENY OF Science, once made a profess
sional examination of girl of but
thirteen years of age who was ten feet
and four inches high and still growing!
Secondilla and Pusio, the giant keep
ers of the Gardens of Sallust, were ex-
actly the same height, each measuring
nine feet six inches.
Furman sometimes written Funna-
mani, the Scotch giant of the time Of
Eugene H., was eleven feet six inches
lacking two lines
Chevalier Scovy, in his account Of
the voyage to the Peaks Of Teneriffe
says that in opening one of the
sepulchral caverns an that island they
found human skull which measured
four feet in circumference ard was
provided with eighty teeth!
The giant Ferragus, who was slain
by Orlando, the nephew of fCharlelnagne,
was eighteen feet high and weighed
nine hundred pounds. - Philadelphia

Some OF the Unique Designs to BE Seen In

The corn palace decorations presented
to the Woman's building by the ladies of

is one of the most beautiful in the

downward some three feet. On
the outside of this are medallion heads
of the goddesses of Grecian mythology,
each framed in millet seed. The back
ground is of pearl hominy, while the
heads are of differently shaded kernels
of corn, the hair being of the silk.
The inner frieze is also NEUROLOGICAL,
the four panels representing four scenes
in the legend of the planting of the

ing forth of ''Triptolemus, the seed

corn husks and of the sacred Egyptian
lotus. The ceiling is blue, with

Caution to Customers.

Nothing of original or superior merit but
has its limitations and counterfeits, even to
imperlling the health of communities. For
this reason the proprietors of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters caution their patrons to
scrutinize every bottle offered (and it is sold
ONLY in bottles) and verify its many marks
of genuineness.
A sufficient warning to those meditating
fraud can be found in the untroken line of
judicial decisions, exposing and severely

that are being made to protect the public
from the deception of these unprincpled pi-

RUSSIANS INTERESTED.
United States Minister White Writes of
His Dissertations in That Country.


His Observations in That Country.
The following interesting extract is
taken from a recent letter from Andrew
D. White, United States minister at
st. Petersburg:
1.-THE interest taken by leading Rus
slams in the Columbian exposition,
strong as it has been from the first,
seems rather to increase. Not only
have the emperor and empress and the
heir to the throne expressed themselves
to me as greatly interested, but in all
classes of Russian society with which
have to do the same feeling is very
clear
"There is evidently feeling that the
two nations are under somewhat SIM
liar economic conditions, each being
vast in extent, with enormous unde-
veloped resources, and, that our country
having taken the lead in all that per-
tains to material development, to say
nothing of leadership in other fields,
both the exposition and the country at
large are the most fitting places for the
study of the leading facts The result
of this feeling is that considerable
number of Russians are making ready
to visit Chicago. and, what is still more
to the purpose, the government is send
ing large number of it's foremost ex-
perts in various departments for the
study of the exhibits at Chicago, and
for examination into the various insti-
tutions throughout the United States.
A recent publication gives the names
of some forty such special delegates,
among them prominent professors in
the universities and leading officials in
the ministeries. Several of these are
also representatives of people in the
highest political and social positions
Typical of these are such as the young
Prince Sergius Wolkonsky, who belongs
to one of the most distinguished fam
lilies in the empire, and who has already
distinguished himself as an official and
writer; and Princess Schahoosl1oy,
who, distinguished by the development
of establishments for woman's work on
her estates, is sent especially to take
charge of the Russian exhibit of such
work at Chicago. She, too, belongs to
one Of the most noted families in the
empire, and is one of the empress
maids of honor''
