Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, June %, 1898.
The Worlds Fair is being viewed about
this time by several Owosso people. THE
TIMES special correspondent runs across
them occasionally, and is able to render
little assistance in directing them toward
the best sights and best eating quarters. A
very amusing affair was witnessed one day
last week. An Owosso party was eating
ravenously at one of the restaurants on that
wonder street of the world midway" One
of the party, well known young lady, de-
sired glass of milk. The waiter, fair
young man from Minneapolis, was appealed
to but replied that they could not serve
milk. A few moments later Boston girl,
who was evidently not from the Worlds
Congress Of beauties, provided milk for two
ladies at table near by. The attention of
the young man was called to the fact and
the appeal renewed. He replied with a
dignity and honesty that were worthy of
G. +. badge. ''Well, she is doing wrong"
AT once a plea was made by one of the
Owosso party who pointed to the beautiful
young lady and said to the young man,
"Well, would you not be willing to do
wrong for that young lady?" A moment
he hesitated, deeply did both blush, modest
ly he replied 81 will try" and sauntered
forth. What may result futurity alone can
tell, not even wards Words" being able
TO predict.
If you own colored glasses, bring them.
The glare is just "awful." The Ferris
wheel is is in full swing now. 1t can carry
1000 people at time in its SO cars $50
high.
The decision to keep the the Fair open
every evening is a great thing. Sight seers
from abroad can well afford to spend the
cool evenings OH the ground and sleep late
in the morning. The Sunday question is
far from satisfactorily settled. Some ex-
hibitors are very much offended at what
they feel to be the treachery of the directory
who promulgated Sunday closing rules and
so lured them to exhibit but now forbid a
Withdrawal of exhibits. 1t is no doubt true
that several very ugly lawsuits will grow
out of this matter. The directory is evil
IDENTIFY very angry that the attendance is
smallest on Sundays, and the laboring man,
the ''poor men" are not present A very
severe reaction against Sunday opening ex-
lists among many because they see the Satur-
day half-holiday impulse dying out under
Sunday opening.
Nearly all the exhibits arc installed. The
restaurants have been conquered by the
lunch boxes. Room rent within easy reach
of five cent ride is not high. One can
room well at from so cents to dollar a day.
1t is certainly fine time to see and fine
education.
In few days the excursiOnists will begin
to pour in. Western students from eastern
colleges will meet friends and "do" the
Fair. The pressure on the cable car grip
men is said to be very severe. Accidents
are of frequent occurrence, but mainly
among strangers unused to the clang of the
gong and the roar of a crowded city.
An Owosso party made trip among the
tall buildngs and to Lincoln Park last Mon
day, visiting with great interest the Sani-
tarium for sick babies that pushes out into
the cool waters of the lake. SO hot was the
day, so wearied the crowd that anyone
would be baby and just a little sick, so as
to rest. But they took the boat and the
long cool ride refreshed them by the time
they reached the Fair grounds.
A very interesting sight may be seen on
Wabash Ave. between Jackson and Van
Buren streets, called the Panoptlcan. 1t is
such an arrangement of mirrored walls and
alcoves that the beholder sees himself dupll-
