WORLDS FAIR BCInENTS.
Mistakes People Make in Getting 10
The Grounds.

that try mems subsequently, gripmen
and conductors Of the street cars Per-
haps the most sorely afflicted are those
that are in charge of the Indiana avenue
line, says the Inter Ocean. For some oc-
cult reason the company has taken off its
old experienced men-fine, good-tempered,
good-hearted fellows, the most of them,
and filed their places with cubs of tender
years and uncertain temper. Whether
the old ones have gone up higher-have
been promoted to easier places with
shorter hours and better salaries,
as they richly deserved, this
deponent saith not. At any rate the raw
hands are filling their places and a hard
time of it they are having. A great deal
of their misery comes from the country
visitors to the worlds fair The Indi-
ana car is detached at Eighteenth streen
and thence proceeds by horse to the ter
minus at Thirty-ninth street. Inside are
cards announcing that the car does not
go to the worlds fair. But the cards are
small and cannot be peruSed until after
the passengers are seated. Those who
can see ride four or five blocks, then sud
denly discover their mistake and make a
wild scramble to get off
keep your seats, Pill transfer you at
Eighteenth street, shouts the conductor
"a command that is obeyed by few and
disregarded by the many-numbers leap
ing off backward while the car is in mo-
ton, with the usual casualties. When
the appointed stopping place is reached
there is another rush, and those who have
waited get off and race to the Cottage
Grove car pellmell.
A big card on the outside of the car, at
both sides and rear, would obviate all
this trouble, but it does not seem to have
occurred to the company. In the mean
time the cubs are suffering. Hour after
hour, day after day, must they shout out
the formula, and it will get to be monoto-
nous by the time the fair closes.
Yesterday as the car was detached and
the horses were brought around one of the
new men yelled:
Take the Cottage Grove car for the
worlds fair.' sThen he added in stem
torian tones: ''Now don't wait till YOU
git around the corner and purtend YOU
didn't hear"
1t is supposed that he was Columbian
guard in disguise
OUR ENGLISH COUSINS.
Perhaps the most ignorant of all the
visitors in Chicago at present are our
English cousins, those who rarely, if ever,
use the ''tram" at home.f They have an
erroneous idea that any speed demanded
may be made, and they do not like the
curtains drawn when IT rains.
80 stuffy you know" said one the
other day, pOking at the thick canvas
which obscured the view with the
bludgeon which he carried for walking
stick
Another recent specimen was an old
man. When be reached his boarding
house he jumped up and rang the bell as
If it were a fire alarm.
The crossing was short distance be-
NrnOd CO tho o0ndf11fpye If tho
ones-went on collecting the fares.
Let me hoff, l say" shouted John
Bull in fierce tones, giving the bell another
jerk
The young conductor paid no attention
When the crossing was reached the car
stopped. A lady alighted and the old
Enghshman climbed off, glaring at the
offending official
'Why the devil didn't you let me hoff
when | asked you, you 1ackanapes," he
beloved, and strobe away muttering
and shaking his head like the irascible
father in melodrama
Women, of course, give the most trouble
They are not more dull of comprehension
than the men, but they are more excitable
and nervous They cannot understand
the names of the streets; they cannot
find their pockets; they let the necessary
nickel fall and it gets lost in the ruffies of
their gowns, or rolls away ana is picked
upin the street by the omnipresent gamin.
Then they have disposition to shed
tears that is particularly exasperating
and tOrmenting to the long-suffering man
of brass buttons.
An odd specimen, not of the tear-shed-
ding species, however, was among the
hosts that went out to see the infanta
Thursday. .
Il think the worlds Columbian exposi-
ton is Just great, she said, enthusiastic
ally, to the woman who sat next to her.
HER TEETH WERE FALSE.
The woman smiled in acquiescence but
said nothing She had bouquet of fra
grant roses and lilies of the valley in her
lap which the country visitor asked per
mission to smell. 1t was granted and she
picked up the flowers, snuffed and nosed
them and picked at them until there was
not much left after she had finished
Il suppose Ulally will visit the Chill
dren's building" she remarked after
sniff of more than ordinary length and
vigor.
LAS she's here representa- the Infant
of Spain, of course she'll go to the Chh-
dren's building, if she don't go nowhere
else"
Then she said; 81 must take my
medicine. I'm a hemeopath--no strong
medicine for me"-and she put down the
bouquet for a minute, produced phial of
little pills from some concealed pocket,
poured out dozen into the palm of her
moist hand and skillfully transferred
them to her mouth by the ant eater
method -Four stuck to her index finger.
These were also removed by a dexterous
motion of the tongue.
just then the conductor called "fare"
She found her purse, took out nickel,
and put it in her mouth. She had, as it
happened, two front false teeth of unus-
ual size and prominence.
When the conductor swung along the
side of the car, and halted, waiting for
her to pay, she was seized with embarrass-
ment, and, instead of the required coin,
whipped out the too false teeth, which
she deposited in the mans outstretched
palm.
With a look of disgust he handed them
back. She made the exchange, gave him
the nickel while she replaced the teeth.
The conductor ostentatiously wiped his
hand on his handkerchief, and said in an
indescribable tone: ''Slobbers and all
goes"
IRISH GIRLS HAVE FUN.
Those mischievous Irish girls in Blarney
castle are at it again, says the Record.
Not content with throwing water over
slumbering tramps and playing all sorts
of practical jokes they have now become
sleep disturbers.
