The Women's Congress,

1t goes without saying that at most of the
worlds congresses to be held Mt Chicago
this summer women will have more or less
prominence, but the big congress which
will open on May Is and continue to the 2s2d
will give them an especial chance to shine,
for 1t is for themselves alone. 1t is intend.
ed to make this a memorial congress, set
ting forth the intellectual, moral and ma.
terial progress of the women of the world
from the discovery of America in 1892 down
10 the present time. This congress will
gather to itself women from all quarters Of
the globe-those most noted for their lead.
ership in the educational world; the bright
lights in the field of literature, art and in.
dustry; the noted philanthropists and those
who have to do with moral and social re.
form, religion, science, philosophy, civil
law and government. Many noted foreign.
ers have accepted the invitation to be pres.
ent, and a programme has been arranged
that will show the progress of woman alonQ

A DAY At JACKSON PARK.
Trip by the Water Route to the
"White City"
AN ITINERARY FOR VISITORS

How to Get a Fleetins Glimpse of The
Great Show and Lay the Foundation For
More Thorough Inspection of Its Mar.
vels-An Evening Visit.
Can one see the Worlds fair in one day?
Well, he can see a great deal of it, much
more thar u would think. In truth. a
very good general view can be taken in a
day, including the evening, though of
course there are many buildings the details
OF each of which would occupy many DAYS.
Here is the itinerary for one day:
First, it is to be a bright and pleasantly
warm May day, and so the first visit should
by all means be made by water. We will
start at the Van Buren, street dock. The
Worlds Fair Steamship company, which
owns the dock, has -four big boats running
between Van Buren, street and the Worlds
falr grounds-vessels amply able to carry
l5,oW passengers every hour. and if a crush
comes the company operates enough smaller
craft todouble this capacity, not to mention
the number of people the Independent lines
will carry.
we are taking the best possible method
OF seeing the buildings of the white City,
Not only can the very best view of the fair
IN its entirety be had from the water-that
is, from out here OF the lake-but every
one OF the most important buildings is to
be seen to hest advantage either from the
lake or from the canals and ponds inside
the grounds. From the water, too. every
one OF the larger and more important build.

tauncnes-tnau they nave TO DE kepu Ilu.-
ing with some regularity, excepting, of
course, the steam launches in their after
noon and evening trips out into the lake.
Maybe We'll go out in one before we get
through. They start from this landing.
We first float by the Agricultural build
ing. Our gondolier (he's genuine-a real
ltalian) must keep close into shore while we
take a good look at the buildings as we
pass them. Here we turn into the South
canal and view the west end of the Agri-
cultural building. You will see the annex
presently, The Agricultural building is
SOC feet long and 500 feet in width, and the
annex is 800 by $50 feet-a matter of l3 acres
covered by these two buildings.
These are the electric fountains at the
lower end of South canal. They are among
the great attractions at night. Over there,
past the colonnade, is the stock pavilion,
and beyond that are the exhibit yards.
Here on the west side of the canal is Ma
chinery hall, next to the Manufactures
building the largest structure on the
grounds. 1t run with its annex nearly
l,40O feet east and west. We will get a
good look at it in a few moments, when
we make a halt in the west end of the basin.

ings is Immediately accessible. The whole
fair was built with these ends in view, and
the plans have been magnificently carried
out. That's why we are going by water to
get our first view of the exposition.
Many will debark at the North pier, but
let us go down to the farther pier and be.
gin at Alpha-that is. the great peristyle
representing Alpha. Pleasure boats and
yachts can land as we'll as steamers. On
the south side of the pier as we land YOU
eau see the governments model battleship.
Once ashore, we'll take a round on the
movable sidewalk. It's nearly half a mile
long. and we can get a magnificent view of
the fair buildings and Lake Michigan as
we'll from it. Now, if only this plan could
be worked in cities, what a lot of shoe
leather we might save!
Out there is the anchorage for big vessels,
Closer in the pleasure yachts and smaller
craft will anchor-that is, they will tackle
themselves up to those anchored buoys YOU
see out there. AT night the buoys will be
illumined by electric lights. There is an
anchorage also for visiting yachts and the
like up at Van Buren, street pier.
First to be glanced through are the
Casino and Music hall. The next thing il
to try a boat-a gondola, of course, for the
novelty of the thing. This is the main
landing for the pleasure craft in the
grounds on the south side of the basin, Just
north of the Agricultural building. The
electric and steam launches have to make
regular round trips, once every hour, Gov.
ering the emile course. There are so
MANY Of them--4O electric and "a steam

crosses for the discussion of subjects of a
more limited interest will be held in the
smaller rooms. 1t will thus be possible to
have two general congresses and 90 special
congresses or conferences in session ut the
same time and to have three times as many
meetings within a single day by arranging
different programmes for morning, after
noon and evening sessions, but it is not an
ticipated that SO many daily meetings will
be required in any department of the
worlds congress work.
The worlds congresses will be of twofold
order. There will be a series of general con-
crosses for the presentation in appropriate
popular discourses suitable for worldwide
publication of the progress made in all the
various departments of civilized life. The
object of this presentation will be to pro-
mote the intelligence, culture and elevation
of the people of all countries.
But a different class of congresses is also
required. In addition to such general con-
crosses there will also be special con-
crosses for the consideration of scientific,
technical or special subjects not suitable
for such popular presentation. Such special
congresses will be more directly in the
charge of the organizations interested and
represented by their respective committees
Of cooperation, which, acting in harmony
with the auxiliary committees of arrange
ments, will arrange the programmes and
conduct the proceedings. The special con-
crosses of the religious denominations and
the strictly scientific associations will be of
peculiar interest.
Both the general congresses, planned for
he people, and the special congresses,
planned for the advancement of great spe-
cial interests, may thus be made highly
successful. AS the material exposition at
jackson park is designed chiefly for the
pleasure and benefit of the people of all
countries and subordinately for the enter
tainment and advantage of the specialists
in the different departments, SO also is the
intellectual and moral exposition to be
made in the worlds congresses primarily
intended for the benefit of the people who
will hear or read the proceedings.
The general assignment to the months of
the exposition season of the worlds con-
crosses MS arranged up to the present time
is here given:
May-Woman's Progress, The Public Press,
Medicine and Surgery.
June-Iemperance. Moral and Social Re-
form, and Finance.
July-Music, Literature, Education,
August-EngincerinS, Art, Architecture, etc.;
Government, Law Reform. Political Science.
etc.; General Department, Science and Philoso-
ply.
experimentation, Religious, Missions and
Church Societies, Sunday Rest.
October-Public Health, Agriculture.

Colored reople.s Juhilee at Chicaeo.

Aug. Is is set apart as the festival of
the colored people, or, as they themselves
seem to prefer to call it, Afro-American ju-
bilee day. The celebration is to be giveni In
Music hall on the fair grounds. It's object is
to show the progress which the colored race
has made in speech and song in America,
and to this end the brightest representa-
tives of the colored people ip oratory and
music will be brought together. The ora
tors Of the day will endcavor to show the
exact standing Of the negro in this country,
his advancement in some directions, and bis
lack of progress in Others, and his disab:.i.
ties US a citizen. There are to be 800 col
ored children in the choruses, and all the
prominent colored singers Of che country
have been invited.

Charities and Correction.

Charities and correction is one of the de-
partments of the fair to which thinking
men will instinctively turn. There will
not be much in it to attract the popular
eye, but it will be a mine of information
for the guardians of the poor and the gov
ernors of the criminal classes in this and
other countries. The student of the social
problems of the day will find collected
and easy OF access facts and figures invalu-
able to him, which he might otherwise
have labored for years to discover. The
department will occupy a space Of $4,000
square feet In the southwest corner of the
chronological building.

THE PERISTYLE.

Here we are at the MacMonnies foun.
tain. That is the Administration build
ing beyond. In the square to the north of
it are the Electricity and the Mines and
Mining buildings. You can see two sides
OF the Electricity building, but only the
south end of the Mines and Mining. These
two structures are about of a size, the
former covering So acres and the latter Sc.
You saw the south end of the Manufac-
lures building. Well go up through North
canal now and take a good look at it broad
side. Yes, it is a pretty good sized build
ing-something very close to a third of a
mile long. 1t is 7S7 by 1867 feet and covers
3OL9 acres.
UP here, past the Manufactures. is the
Government building, which occupies 3.3
acres. We are passing up the lagoon now,
between the wooded island and the east
shore. We must take a walk about that
island before we are through-now through
this inlet at the right, leading out to the
lake. Here on our left is the Fisheries build
ing. 1t, with its We annexes spreading
out on each side Of it like a pair of wings.
occupies nearly lOo,oW feet of ground space.
Beyond this, on the left, right, and before
US, are the fire and guard station, the life
saving station, the clambake, the light

so on. On the left are some of the foreign
buildings, among them those of Great Brit
ain, Russia, France, Germany and Sweden.
Now we will turn round and paddle up
into North pond. We repass the Fisheries
building and find ourselves in the lagoon
again, and out of this into the inlet leading
to the pond. Skirting along the shore, we

American republics and find ourselves be-
fore the great Art galleries. West of the
pond are q number of state buildings, those
of Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin in the fore
ground. Ample provision has been made
for the fine arts exhibit, nearly six acres be-
ing devoted to the gallery and annexes.
Here we are before the Illinois building,
the largest state building of them all. It
is a splendid structure, with a ground area
of over three acres and a height of 234 feet.
After a good look at Illinois great build
ing we find our way back into the lagoon,
hugging the north and west shores. To the
west, fronting the lagoon, is the Women's
building, an affair which covers over Il 600
square feet. The ladies ought to feel proud
OF this building, particularly as it was de-
signed by a woman-Miss Hayden of Bos-
ton. The Women's building is at the east
end of Midway plaisance, which you will
see later. Here are two or three unique
small buildings-notably the offices of Puck
and the White Star steamship line-and at
the north end of the island are the Japa-
nese buildings and gardens.
Now we come to the vast building de-
voted to horticulture, the easter frontage
of which is toward the lagoon. Horticul-
ture is well provided for in the matter of

THE AUDITORIUM,

The question of NV expense budget is now
the all important one for fair visitors. How
much will be required for nccessarics, ex-
tras and emergencies depends on the tastes
and habits of the individual. Three New

pelses. One of them has had much cxpe.

The Fair Grounds ut Night.

More than l,250,0W candle power will be
the limit of electric light ut the Columbian
exposition. The study of that system which
shall turn night into day for the sunny six
months OF the present year is one of the
most interesting subjects connected with
the Worlds fair. So complete and extern
slve are the arrangements that the simple
view Of the exposition grounds at night, re.
gardless OF every feature presented in ex-
hlhits, will be we'll worth u journey to see.

gong down twenty feet another ASSAY
was made, giving fifty dollars and sixty
three cents, with gold and silver in the
same r''l trtions. A tunnel was then
run which taps the ledge about FORTY
i've !eet below surface. The ledge was
'o"i'o ABOUT two weeks ago, but as yet
no assay has been made of the ore.
however, there is every indication that
IL continues to increase in richness
with depth. and good judges estimate
'hat the ore will yield from fifty to
seventy-fve dollars. From all appear-
ance there is practically no limit to the
amount that can be taken out, The
ore closely resembles that taken from
the Dc Lamar mine and old miners
pronounce 1t exactly the same. The
mine is easily accessible and no doubt
shipments Of ore will be made during
the summer. With a smelter at Cald-
well the Lincoln would now be Weld
ing tons of good ore every day. This
mine is but one of large group and
it is impossible to estimate the wealth
that is hidden in the West View dis
trlct. At present there is a lack of
capital for development, but when once
the real character of those mines is
known, that difficulty can not long ex-
ISL. AS it is, hardly day passes but
that some new discoveries are made and
fresh interest awakened. There is not
the slightest question as to the final
outcome of the district. 1t is rich in
mineral. Placer mining is now being
protitably prosecuted and Developments
OF quartz mines is going steadily on.
"A magnificent agricultural, fruit and
stock growing country surrounds the
mines and everything points to the
fact that this section of the country IA

and prosperity.

LOST HIS WIFE.

Last Monday morning Mr.. Woslum.
OF Three Creek, turned up1 caldwell.
a most disconsolate man. Some time
ago he gave his wife money to come on
to Caldwell to spend a season with her
sister and brother-in-law. Something
happened to arouse Woslum's suspi.
clons and he came on to investigate.
Upon his arrival he discovered that
Mrs. Woslum and little Woslum and
the whole outfit had skipped to parts
unknown. At first Mr.. Woslum was
disposed to give chase, but after ma
ture deliberation concluded there was
nothing in it, and returned to his desc
late home. 1t is said that the abscond-
ing Woslums went to De Lamar for
their health and repose. Mr.. Woslum
said he didn't pine very extravagantly
for the old lady but was anxious to re-
cover the child.
