GUIDES AS INTERPRETERS.

Can Talk Half Dozen Languages.

A Corps of Men at jackson Pa X Who
Can Talk Half a Dozen Languages.
Guides that can talk half dozen
languages-such is the latest acquisi'
ton to Capt. Rices staff on the worlds
fair grounds While the corps is not
gotten up strictly as an interpreters
corps, it is practically such.
Company No. 25 is the one these lin.
gusts belong to, and it is under the
command of Capt. Foote. 1t is drilled
in the same manner as the Columbian
guard, but it does not draw the same
salary. Each mans remuneration is
thirty dollars per month.
The company will, when completed,
consist of two hundred and fifty men.
At present it contains about eighty,
but is in the formative process as yet.
The personnel is to be one of great in
telligence. Most of the men are from
colleges and universities of the coun'
try, but many are from foreign coun
tries and speak readily five or six Ian
guages. Most of the men speak more
than one language, and those that
speak English, German and French, the
languages with which one can get
along anywhere on the globe almost
are numerous.
This corps of guides must not be con-
founded with the roller-chair men,
The latter are under the control of con
cessionaires, while the guides are under
the control of the exposition manage
ment through Capt. Rice. commandant
of the Columbian guard. They will bt
stationed at different buildings in thu
| grounds, and from there they will bt
ready to do service for such as neet
them. The price is to be fifty cents al
hour for parties of five or less, so tina
party may have the services of an in
telligent guide, speaking their tongue
at ten cents apiece, in case there be five
in the party
The corps is to be uniformed differ
emily from the Columbian guard. TIL,
uniform is to be of cadet gray, and vii
be trimmed with black braid. The cal
is to be of blue, and the buttons are o
kind known technically as blind
buttons. The men are not uniformed

WOMEN AT THE FAIR.
The Great Work They Have Accomplished
at the Columbian Exposition.

Woman's influence upon the Column
bian exhibition is one of its most inter
esting and instructive features. For
the first time in the history of such af-
fairs the women We're given the most
ample opportunities to show both their
genius for organization and their abil-
ity to produce adequate results, and
they have more than justified the
faith of the government and the man
ayers Of the exhibition. Their labors
began almost with the inception of the
enterprise, and they worked methodi-
cally and with single purpose ever
since, Not only have they put to shame
the critics who were hostile to them,
but they have astonished their most en-
thusiastic advocates. They have
worked with as little friction as the
men, and it must be said in all fairness
that they have accomplished more, in
proportion to the means within their
reach.
Those who had charge proposed to

the public is accustomed to see at agri-
cultural fairs and the like, and which,
by the way, is worthy of all praise, but

woman can attain under her present

Naturally there is no tone of flippancy
or aightiness in the splendid exhibition
they have arranged for the public. II

and the visiting celebrities were treated
almost as guests of the city. 1t is not
at all likely that any OF them will ever
forget the occasion, for everything went
off successfully and the sights pre-
scented at the worlds fair so far charmed
and entranced these people of mental
superiority that their enthusiasm and
praise knew no bounds. They will all
take back to their homes with them i'm
pressions that will in all probability re-
suit in much good to the exposition.
The scribcs can write intelligently and
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-
bic way ministering to their comfort
and convenience. 1t is safe to predict
that in all the worlds fair season there
will not be an event 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 half-holiday granted
by many of the business houses of the
city on that day to give their employees
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-
ccrts and brilliant Examinations. 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 Examinations in the evening
defy description. They must be seen
to be properly understood and appre-
ciatcd.
The average daily attendance for the
first three weeks of the exposition has
been in the neighborhood' of thirty
thousand, Saturdays excepted. The
regular Saturday crowd is aboht three
times that number. At that rate, OF
course, there 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 wher
the summer season is fairly on it will
be twice or three times as large as al
present. and in the fall season the rich
will come. One reason why there is rusl
small attendance just now is that the
knowledge of the incompleteness of the
exhibits has been so widely published
that it is keeping a great many out
siders from coming until later on.
Much has been said and written
about the sights to be seen IN the Mid
war Plaisanee, but hardly day passes

without ushering in some new attrac-
ton to the myriad curiosities assem-
bled there. 1t is at present the most
wonderful thoroughfare on the globe,
beyond doubt, and it is safe to say that
anyone who has once visited the place
will declare it to be worth the price of
admission without going any further
into the great fair. Some very ludicrous
things occur in the Plaisance, and near
ly everybody who passes through it is
kept on the broad grin from one end to
the other. The Turk with his vol
luminous unmentionables goes stalking
majestically along unmindful of the
facetious remarks of American funny
fellows, who inquire of Mr.. Barghash
Begorra or whatever his name is, the
name of his tailor. Our friend from the

care who knows it.

plight the poor misguided Turk found
his way back among his brethren in

that he crawled into an out 'ot-the-way

in hollow tree, until some kind friend
brought him another outfit of fez an6

In a half hours walk through the

languages spoken in the world, ant
