STATUE Of BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Utah when l lived there caused me to un-
derrate him, but I now see that man with
that head and his immense physical po-
tency would be q leader in any community.
Like Abraham Lincoln he was a phycho-
logical "freak." His parents were quite
ordinary, his children are but a fair aver
age and none of his ten brothers and Sis
tiers showed any talent whatever.

OF all the fine schemes suggested BY
this fair but two are as yet certain: San
Francisco will undoubtedly have n mid
winter fair. to open Jan. l next, and Chi
cago will have a permanent museum com
posed of all the best things she can secure
from the exposition. San Francisco has
already organized, NJ. H. DeYoung is
chosen director general, the legislature is
appealed totoappropriate q little matterof
$4,000 or so and committees are at work
to raise the rest. The city only expects
100000 visitors from the east and foreign
countries and surely so moderate a calcu-
lation should be realized. Indeed, 1 had
an impression that that many usually
went to California in the winter anyhow.
Many exhibitors here have already agreed
to go to San Francisco.
Chicago is actively pushing her arrange
ments for securing the pick of the exhibits
and everything is to be completed by Oct.
9, which is to be Chicago day and the
greatest of all the special days. When
Illinois promised to have 500, 600 here on
her day Chicago raised her and promised
100000, and taking an average on shrink
ages to date l think it safe to bet on 25O,-
GOO. OF course all the display will be in
Jackson park, as otherwise it would
not boom the fair. First will be the
parade Of states and it is expected
that each state will send here a represent
alive beauty from each Of it's counties. If
they do, we shall see over 5000 of the love-
lest ladies in the world, which, in the
language of Barnum, will alone be worth
the price of admission. Each of the large
cities are to be represented in like manner
by one or more young men.
When all these, in uniform, have ridden
through the main and gathered
In the court Of honor there will be patri-
otto music, including a national anthem
by an immense choir. At dark the historic
march will begin. The floats will repres-
ent old Fort Dearborn, the massacre of
1872, the organization of the city, the great
fire and all the important scenes in the de-
velopment of this region, besides Chicago's
relations with other states and foreign
people. All this, and ten times as much
more, will close with a grander display of
fireworks ESQ they assure us) than was
ever before presented. For the great piece
showing Chicago as she was on the worst
night of the great fire the talent of the
pyrotechnic world will be exhausted. It
is v alleged that railroad managers
have got excited and interested and will
do something handsome in the way Of
special rates.
1t has hitherto been a matter of great
pride that the crowds cam and went
without quarrels and almost without &C.
cfdents, and even the sensational reporters
concluded that there was no longer any
unsophisticated "hayseeds" to turn
ish material for something spicy" But
recently the record has been broken. Two
farmers blew out the gas and went TO
bed, n to sleep his last sleep in this
world and the other to come SO near it
That IL took two surgeons to geth his tongue
out of his throat. One visitor has been
dubbed almost to death by a policeman
Tor merely giving him q saucy reply, and
several nave been badly bruised by getting
off the cable cars backwards. 1t was pub
lished last spring that 1900 English and
other foreign thieves had come over to
harvest the fair, to which some envious
New Yorker retorted that it was to be
hoped they had return tickets, for Chicago
would rob them of every cent they had.
Well, II they came they missed it, for
there has not been stealing enough during
the whole fair to support one family in
any generous style. The fln-de-siecle
American has evidently learned how to
travel and take care of himself, especially
herself. J.. H. BEADLE.
