During the last two weeks Chicago
has been entertaining great many
brainy men and women from all over
the world. The National Editorial as
ISOLATION has had it's annual meeting in
our city, and the leading women think
ers, writers and workers in the various
branches Of reform work have been
holding their congresses here in the
new art institute. Among these peo-
pie were large percentage of the
country publishers of the United States,
as we'll as many of the heads Of metro
politan papers, and hosts of the world S
representative women.
The meeting of the editors was one
of the most memorable they have ever
held, and the congresses of the women
were the greatest gatherin gs of the
kind ever held in the world since worn-
an first concerned herself in the affairs
of nations; but there was an added sig
nificance in these meetings in the fact
that they were held in the Worlds
Fair city during the greatest celebra-
ton the world has ever known.
Between the meetings of the editors
and the sessions of the women's con-
gress there were frequent excursions to
the grand central point of worldwide
interest-Jackson park-public and
private receptions, theater parties, etc.,
and the visiting celebrities were treated
almost as guests of the city. It is not
at all likely that any of them will ever
forget the occasion, for thing went
off successfully and the sights pre-
sented 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.

certs 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-
GATED
The average daily attendance for the
first three weeks of the exposition has
been in the neigh borhood of thirty
thousand, Saturdays excepted. The
regular Saturday crowd is about 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 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 incompleteness 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
way Plaisance, but hardly day passes
without ushering in some new attrac-
ton to the myriad curiosities assem-
bled there. It 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
" every body 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
Eegorra or whatever his name is, the
name of his tailor. Our friend from the
Bosporous is too dignified to notice
any jesting remarks about his ward
robe; he likes big pants and he doesn't
care who knows it.
The story is told Of one venturesome
Turk that he conceived q strong desire
to possess q suit Of American clothes.

ment OF woman along material avenues
It will seem impossible to believe that
the delicate web laces placed in the
cases of the central gallery are only
copies of the fabrics and tissue laces
preserved with such care in the glass
cases of the Smithsonian exhibit.
In all savage countries women are
the house builders, clothiers, weavers,
potters, tanners and harvesters. The
great modern industries in factories
first had beginning in the unenlight-
ened mind of women, who by necessity
made the tools and materials which
were adapted to the needs of their peo-
pie.
Among the many things of interest
was noticed a mat-robe made by hand
from the leaves of the screw palm. The
leaves of the palm are cured by treat
ing them with salt water and drying
them in the sun. The mat was woven
with twenty threads to the inch, was six
feet square, and required three years of
labor. 1t was made in the Samoan
islands. Many other mats of different
designs were shown in the same case
The implements used for bark breakers
or peelers are as varied in size, form
and material as the ingenuity of the
mind could suggest. These are used
for shredding cedar bark, which is used
in making textile work. ssGrainers'' or
hide scrapers are made from the bones
OF animals and different kinds of wood.
There is a distaff and spindle, the
frame made of bamboo rods split at
one end into six sections. These are
compressed at the end and the center
tightly bound with cotton cord These
were brought from the natives of
Alaska. A small medicine pipe and
dolls dressed in buclzskin ornamented
with beads represent work of tribes of
Indians at Cheyenne. A primitive
shuttle and loom, bags made from
grass fiber twisted into cords and knit
into convenient shapes, some woven
into inter shape with numerous squares
and dots standing out in relief and
worn by kings and chiefs as emblems of
rank, were brought from the people of
Africa on the Congo river.
A Makah Indian blanket is made of
bark and trimmed with fur of the sea
otter and a woven border of grs.y hair.
From the Fiji islanders has been se-
cured Tapa cloth made of bark beaten
thin and stamped with many complex
designs in black and brown colors.
The Yuma Apache Indians are repre-
sented by their basket work. Bowls
and water jars are made by coiling q
splint and thin strip Of yucca, bast or
osier, and then wrapping it with split
osier. The work is regular and will
hold water.
Hats made by Esqimau women of
Alaska bear strong resemblance to
Chinese work. They are made of spruce
root finely woven and then painted and
ornamented with shells. beads and sea-

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. It 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 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-

CORN PALACE DECORATIONS.

Some of the Unique Designs to Be Seen in
the Woman's Building.
The corn palace decorations presented
to the Woman's building by the ladies of
Sioux City are in place, and the pavilion
is one of the most beautiful in tho
building. 1t is open, frieze extending
downward some three feet. On
the outside of this are medallion heads
of the goddesses of Grecian mythology,
each framed in millet seea. 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
corn. The first panel depicts the send
ing forth of "Triptolemus, the seed
planter" the second "Eumolpus and
the Olympian Gods the third the
giving into Hades Of Persephone, the
planting of the corn; the fourth, the
coming up of Persephone. All the
groups are in kernels of corn on back

the tasscls of broom corn. All around
the lower edge are blossoms, made of
corn husks and of the sacred Egyptian
lotus. The ceiling is blue, with
Grecian border Of millet. Four cupids,
one at each corner, hold strings Of
corn which at the center are gathered
into graceful festoons. The tents are
bare ut present, but later will be

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 medltatiug
fraud can be found in the untroken line of
judicial decisions, exposing and severely
furnishing every one detected in counter
feiting the Bitters, and the redoubled efforts
that are being made to protect the public
from theaeception Of these unprincipled pi-
rates.
Remember the Bitters is sold In bottles only,

GUIDES As INTERPRETERS.

A Corps Of Men at Jackson Pa Who
Can Talk Half Dozen Languages.
Guides that can talk half dozen
languages-such is the latest ncquisi-
ton to Capt. Rice's staff on the worlds
fair grounds. While the corps is not
gotten up strictly as an interpreters
corps, it is practically such.
Company No rs is the one these lin
gusts belong to, and it is under the
command of Capt. Foote. It is drilled
in the same manner as the Columbian
guasd, 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 md French, the
languages with which one can get
along anywhere on tbs 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 manege-
ment through Capt. Rice, commandant
of the Columbian guard. They will be
stationed at different buildings in the
grounds, and from there they will be
ready to do service for such as need
them. The price is to be fifty cents ar
hour for parties of five or less, so that
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. The
uniform is to be of cadet gray, and will
be trimmed with black braid. The cap
is to be of blue, and the buttons are of
a kind known technically as ''blind'
buttons. The men are not uniformed
as yet, and every morning as they drill
on the administration court visitors
wonder what body of soldiers they are.

A Matter of Health

ITcosts more to make Royal Baking Powder
1 than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost Of Royal over the best Of the others
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
Of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required, the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
Where the question Of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
