the White City. The indomitable energy
of the managers of the fair, the ardor and
| conquering spirit of Chicago which are so
typical to the west and of American peo-
pie as a whole, will accomplish wonders
before next Monday; they will approach as
near to Omnipotence as it is given finite
minds and hands to do; but with all this
the exposition will be declared formally

cess. 1t was always so with eXpositions,
great and small, in this or any other coun-

You get n glimpse behind the scenes. You
not only see the show from 'front," but

TWO ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION.

While Everything VIII Not Be Exactly

Hand at the Opening May IA Look
Over the Grounds and Buildings.
WORLDS FAIR, April 25.-In six days the
Columbian exposition is to be opened by
the president of the United States. There
will be many dignitaries, great concourse
of people, simple but impressive cere-
monies, and the whole will form memor-
able and inspiring spectacle. But will the
fair be ready? This is the question which
men here on the ground are asking each
other and themselves. 1t is the question
which alert minds are raising in all the
states and territories of this country and
even in distant lands. II is the question
of questions with these officials who for
two years have devoted to this enterprise
their matchless energies.
The answer is both yes and no. The fair
will be ready, but it will not be complete.
According to the .criptural account this
world WIS made in six days, but nothing
short of Omnipotence could in like time
bring perfect order out of the chaos which

that this material which looks like marble
Is really q wooden platform covered with

groUnds-aud for the White City itself.
Within each of the great buildings the
clattcr, hustle, hum and hammcriug are
even more indescri5able than the scene

1t is babel of tongues, but there is no

rises, the natives as well as the
foreigners appearing to know almost by
instinct how the pieces and columns of
ebony and satinwood, carved in Ceylon
and brought here in boxes, are to be put
together. When finished the temple will
be occupied by bevy of Cingalese women
who sell tea to all coIners.

weary of the divorce business it re-
ceives from New York. and one of the
judges has just refused to grant de-
cree where the applicant was forced

during the last half of the year was
