alleged attractions on the Midway
that one is poor when he or she has
seen them all. OF the vast number
some are not worth either the time
or the price of admission. Others on
the contrary, are both interesting
and instructive.
Near The great Ferris Wheel Is thc
reproduction of street IN Cairo. 1t
attracts attentions from a great dis
lance by reason of it's peculiar domes
and its graceful minaret. The latter
is tall, white column, most delicate
ly carved and moulded. 1t surmounts
the mosque of the faithful. The
bindings in the street are exact re
productions of that picturesque por-
ton of the African city which they
represent. During each day, strange,
weird procession and ceremonies are
INDUCED in by the nations A few
camels make the place more real but
they also bring the thing nearer to
imitation of the American proclivities
for making money. | noticed that
nearly every available inch of
frontage" is occupied for small stalls
wherein all sorts of oriental and
American goods are for sale. Over
nearly every door appears the firm
name, and one combination seemed
to own neatly the whole works, The
names are Raphael and Hasson Ben
Ali. Of course they are both
Egyptians but have misty recol>
lection of having seen the name
Raphael before, in connection with
business maintained solely for the
benefit of the people, After you
pay to get into Cairo street you have
only begun 10 go dowu into your
pocket-if you wish to see much.
There is a "Temple of Luxor
there, advertised most diligently
which is a good scheme, for the show
inside needs a friendly word about
IS badly as any place | have found.
Further up the Plaisance is Old
Vienna, a historic imitation Of houses
and streets as they once appeared in
the ancient and romantic city. 1t is |
well worth a visit. Many people |
think it is the most charming place |
IN the whole Fair.
In the German village are repro
auctions of old houses and castles of |
greatest interest. In castle there |
hey have the finest collection of old |
lrmors and weapons that can be seen |
It the Fair. Many of the relics are
and battle Scared. They
re closely identified with some of
Sermany's hottest conflicts and most
historic time. In this village one of
hose matchless German orchestras
ehders the classic melodies both of |
'ast and present. To be sure there
re many concerts, free and other
wise, all about the Fair, but no one
aggregation of musicians is so popu-
ar as this one on the Midway.
Virtuous Carson would be shocked |
It the Danse du Ventre and other
oriental wiggles as performed in the
Turkish, Algerian and Persian
heatres. l found Nevada people at
Ill of them, crowding to get in at any
,rice, but they told me that they
we're shocked, and only did it as a
natter of duty. They wished to be
n position to warn their friends
Strange fascination these naughty
hows have for the women. They
lrag the men in day after day-like
ambs to the slaughter. They 60 at
light in order that the public may
lot see them at it. They 90 together
'hen they have learned that the ex-
libition would shame them if a man
'ere along. This last practice is
apidly becoming popular as the men
re indifferent about going anyway
nd often dissuade the women from
heir h-lish designs when they are
onsulted.
For descriptions of the dances you
lust consult the dispatches and the
olice court records am unable to
'ntort my pencil fast enough to ,
escribe such rapid movement.
The finest exhibition on the Mid
ay is that of Hagenbach's trained, ,
lid animals. Everyone has seen
an get into a cage with Il few lions, &
1t the world has rarely seen such a
low as this one. The arena sur-
