Seen at the State Exhibits.

Some of the old Spanish bells swing
in the towers of the California build
ing, which is a copy of one of the mis-
sions.
Florida has reproduced the Oldest
structure in the United States, Fort
Marion, at ST. Augustine, which was
begun in the year the pilgrims landed
at Plymouth Rock.
Idaho and North Carolina are the
only states in which mica is found.
Mica half of the Idaho building is
lined with sheets of it, almost as clear
as glass.
In the Indiana building is the figure
of an elephant chiseled out of stone at

mediately resorts to the patrol, which
attends to his case with promptness
and dispatch. Since the cessation of
building operations there have been but
few accidents to workmen, the only
death reported for a long time occur
ring a few days ago.
This was u very distressing case. One
of a number of men who were working
near the roof of the Manufactures
building lost his hold and fell one hun
dred and seventy feet to the floor be-
low A great many visitors were in the
building at the time, and they beheld a
sight which unnerved the strongest of
them and caused a number of women
to faint. The poor man was dashed
nto a shapeless mass and never re-
gained consciousness.
The hospital service at the fair is ex-
cellent in every respect and through
its agency many broken limbs have
been restored and much suffering has
been alleviated. The provisions for
caring for the children is another fea-
ture of the fair service that is especial
ly commendable. By it's aid tired
mothers are relieved of their precious
burdens for the time and enabled to GO
about unhampered by their little ones,
whom in many instances they must
take with them or remain at home
themselves.
The complaints of extortion which
were 20 frequent a short time ago are
now no longer heard, or at least are be-
coming very rare, and the impression,
which had been somewhat general, tina,
people were being robbed at the fair is
gradually becoming effaced. There are
plenty of free water and toilet accom-.
modations, and lunches may be had al
a moderate charge. This being the
case, a person of modest means need
not go hungry, thirsty or dirty while
visiting the fair.

AMONG THE EXHIBITS.

THOUSANDS of flags are used in the
decoration of the Woman's building at
the worlds fair, and many of these
have been sent by clubs or private indi-
viduals, who have their names en-
broidered in the corner; and these flags
are to be returned to the lenders as
souvenirs of the fair.
THE presents which Gen. Grant re-
ceived on his trip around the world,
and turned over to Mr.. Vanderbilt in re-
turn for a loan when he was in strait

exhibits. They were presented to the
government by Mr.. Vanderbilt.

AMONG The English exhibits in the
Transportation building are several
models illustrating the modern method
of signaling and handling trains. The
switching processes are illustrated by
diagrams of tracks and serial models,
showing trains first Unfortunately

by means of colored blocks, there being
five blocks of the same color in each
series of numbers, each block repre-
senting a car.

magnitude of our Institutions and the
progress of our country. There will
no doubt be a greatly increased at
tendance during the first week of July.
in view of the grand sights programmed
for the Fourth. The excursions have
begun to come in and the floating pop
ulation of our great city is daily in
creasing. In reference to the coming
celebration one of our leading dailies
contains this glowing outburst:
Fourth of July at the fair will be a
roarer. All the contrivances known to
p~yrotechnic art, all the eloquence OF a
hundred orators. all the music of a hun
dred bands, all the huzzas and hurrahs
of a million lungs will be united in a
patriotic din such as the world has
never heard. 1t will begin at sunrise
and last the day out, and all the fiery
glory of Bunker Hill and Concord and
Lexington will be magnified a hundred
fold as a national demonstration of the
fact that American liberty is as sure
and safe as the granite ribs Of its noun
tains. The declaration of independence
will be read in twenty tongues from
galleries and parapets and platforms,
while all the tribes, from shaving Turks
to harbarous Dahomans, unite in cheers
for the success and everlastingness of
the giant republic.
THE exposition people now have all
shoulders at the wheel, and with the
brilliance of the dedication to eclipse
they have planned along leviathan
lines. The greatest day in American
history deserves the greatest celebration
that money and brains can devise at the
hands of the greatest enterprise the
country ever witnessed. All the men
who make such occasions a business
have been called into council that the
visiting nations may understand how
n~umerously and noisily loyal this free
people is, From dawn until the next
daylight there will be such a bewilder-
ing confusion of booming and such e
binding display of fire and such a deaf
ening o a of patriotic airs that the
whole world will be convinced hat this
whole people is as loyal to the old dec
laration as were the embattled farmers
who fought for it"
The programme for the day has been
outlined and it is replete with interest
ing features from beginning to end.
The evening will be made grandly
| gorgeous by all the arts of which pyro-
technical genius is master, the figures
to be presented being those of most
| prominence in the history of our indie
p~endeDce as a nation.
The people of the various states hav-
ing representative buildings at the fair
have been having great times within
the past few days. Indiana, California
and Texas have just completed their ex-
hibits and have done the opening
honors in magnificent style. More nota-
BILE than the others is probably the Cal
ifornia building, on account of the
magnitude of it's dimensions and the
variety and volume of its contents.

missions of the Pacific coast it is .ex-
ceedingly picturesque, and filed as it is
with the wonderful productions of the
Golden State" it affords the visitor a
world of pleasure in the contemplation
of its beauties.
There are but few of the state build
ings now unfinished, and those states
unrepresented by buildings have ex-
hibits in the large buildings of the fair.
Among the latter is Oregon, whose fair
appropriation was made at SO late a
date that it was decided impracticable
to attempt the erection of a building.
The state, however, is very c~reditably
represented in the various department
buildings of the exposition.
Just at present the weather is very
warm and we are having a foretaste of
what we may expect during the heat of
the midsummer days. Several cases of
prostration have resulted from injudi-
cious exposure on the part of too eager
sightseers, and the patrol wagons of the
police department have been called
into requisition to convey the victims
of inordinate curiosity to the hospital.
With one thing and another the
police of the fair have been kept pretty
busy since the opening day, although
the number of crimes committed in the
grounds has been surprisingly small.
Once in awhile some luckless individual
meets with a loss CT an accident and i'm

HOW TO PREVENT sUNsTRoKE.
Worlds Fair Physicians Give Out Valuable
Hints for Visitors.

Hints for Visitors.
Drs. j. l.. Hillmantel and w. ii. AL
port, of the medical staff of the worlds
fair, were asked about the liability of
exposition visitors to sunstroke, what
they should do to prevent insulation
and all it's phases, and what treatment
should be Immediately resorted to By
friends or any bystander possessed of
ordinary presence of mind. DIR. Hill
mantel said:
ITO begin at the beginning, visitors
should battle before coming to the fait.
They will be so refreshed by the bath
that they will be well prepared for a
days sightseeing. They should eat
before leaving home. ~prudently, of
course, and while on the grounds should
eat. They should not wander around
all day on one meal, as exhaustion is
altogether likely to attend such long
fasting.
Coming to the fair men and women
should wear light clothing or clothing
suitable to the weather. and on a warm,
oppressive day they should pay atten-
ton to their footwear, wearing light
and easy shoes. Headgear should be
looked after. Women are better off in
this respect, and the men should wear
light hats, and when in the shade
should remove them frequently.
But above all, visitors should be
careful about what they drink. The
water used is of the utmost Importance,
and none but pure water should be
used. Moderate drinking should be in
dulged, even when water is used, and if
ice cream soda or other cold drinks are
taken, they should be INDUCED in mod

SAILORS AS ASTRONOMERS

The Enlistment of Captains In the
Service of Science.
Everyone who has been much at sea
knows something of the peculiar SPLEEN
dor of the heavens when beheld from
the deck of a ship. Celestial phenomena
seem to possess an unusual impressive
ness when viewed under such circum-
stances. The clearness of the air in
fair weather and the ~fiatness and dis
tance of the horizon tend t O heighten
this effect. a similar impression is no
ticed upon the broad, grassy plains of
Texas.
Sea captains sometimes bring into
port accounts of the seeing of comets
and neteors which have almost escaped
notice on land.
On this account particular interest
attaches to the official request. ema-
mating from Washington. which was
addressed to the masters of all vessels
which might happen to be within the
shadow track of the solar eclipse on
April 16, that they should make and
record careful observations upon the
phenomena visible during the eclipse.
They were especially asked to notice
whether any changes occurred in the
clouds corresponding with changes of
temperature while the sun was hidden
behind the moon: the behavior of the
barSneter while the eclipse lasted; the
temperature of the air; any peculiar
Appearance of light, and the position of
ANY faint comet which might be de-
tected near the sun while its light was
shut out.
1t a happy thought to enlist the
sea captains in the service of science.
While for obvious reasons the solid

tions, there seems good cause to hope
that hereafter large additions to as

SHE Ran THE LEGATION
And Is Now in a Position to Help
Govern Germany.
MARRIAGE OF MISS PHELPS AND
DIR. Won ROTTENBURG.

She Is the Daughter Of Hon. William
of State of the German Empire and
the Protege of Both Caprivi and Bis
marck-The Valuable Presents Include
One from Mrs. james G. Blaine,
BERLIN, June 1.-THE marriage of
Miss Marian Phelps, daughter of Will
liam Walter Phelps, late minister of the
United States in Berlin, to DR.. Franz Won
Rottenburg, was solen,nized this morn
ing, at the residence of Mr.. Phelps.
Twenty-four guests were present, in
Guiding Minister Runyon and Mrs. Run
yon, Mr.. and Mrs. Poultney Bigelow.
Frederi ck Krupp and Chancellor Won
Caprivi.
Numerous presents were received, con-
sisting chiefly of valuable plate and jew
elry. Whitelaw Reid sent three punch
bowls, and the widow of James G. Blaine
sent silver service to the welded cou-
pie.
DIR. Won Rottenburg is an under-secre-
tary of state for the German Empire.
Strange as it may seem, he is friend and
protege of both Prince Bismarck and
Chancellor Won Caprivi. He is looked
upon as one of the coming men of the
empire-one destined to be minister,
Prince Bismarck first placed him in Of
fee, and Caprivi retained him when ap-
pointed chancellor by the Emperor. Per
sonally, Herr Won Rottenburg is tall.
dashing man with intellectual features,
lit by pair of bright, keen, but withal
kind eyes. He is polished in manners,
an entertaining talker, fine linguist,
speaking English and French like ma
tive, and most fascinating companion.
His friendship with Minister Phelps,
which began during the Samoan confer
ence, was cemented by the admiration
for and friendship with Prince Bismarck
which both men had in common. After
wards, Mr.. Phelps had much official
communicationitw with Herr Won Rotten
burg in his successful efforts for Amer
ican pork and for the Chicago exhibition.
Their personal tastes and scholarly pro-
clivities are much alike, and in con-
sequence Rottenburg was a frequent
guest at the American legation.
Miss Phelps was born "a years ago in
Englewood, N. j., her fathers country
seat. She is good sized, plump, and
with pretty dark hair. She first attracted
attention during her fathers con-
gressional campaigns, when she travelled
all about with him. Minister Phelps
says of his daughter that she ''has run
the legation
Besides music. painting and the lam
guages, Miss Phelps has studied political
and scientific questions very thoroughly.
After tour about Prussia and Saxony,
with possible trip to the south of
France, the couple will settle down in
Berlin.
