But He Criticised the Place as Rather
Chilly for the Purpose.
Zone night" a drummer is reported
rs saying, 81 was on the New York
Central not far from Buffalo. The
sleeping car was nearly full. We
stopped at some place and an old man
with map of st. Lawrence county on
his face got on board and was shown
to his seat by the porter. He piled up
lot of baggage and then asked wheth-
er he could not go to bed.
eff you will go away for few min
utes," said the porter, I'll make up your
berth,
"The old fellow took little hand
bag and walked up and down the car,
apparently looking for something.
Then he disappeared through the door.
The porter made up the berth and ar
ranged the curtains. 1t was the first
berth to be made up.
Presently old st. Lawrence, as we
called him, appeared at the end of
the car with pile of clothes hanging
ever one arm, his boots in one hand, his
collar and socks in the other, He had
nothing on but a gray flannel night
shirt that just covered his knees. He
looked around the car and then made a
rush for his berth.
Everybody roared. His feet were
bare and we could see the snow melt
ing on his calves and ankles. He drew
his curtains and remained silent for a
few seconds. Then his head appeared
between the curtains:
Hey, young mani" he cried to the
porter, III be gosh burned if this com.
pany hain't the meanest ever struck.

the porter.

RUSSIANS INTERESTED.
URited States Minister white Writes OF
His Observations In That Country.

United States Minister white Writes OF
His Observations In That Country.
The following interesting extract is
taken from recent letter from Andrew
d. White, United States minister at
st. Petersburg;
"The interest taken by leading Rus
slams in the Columbian exposition,
strong as it has been from the first,
seems rather to increase. Not only
have the emperor and empress and the
heir TO the throne expressed themselves
to me as greatly interested, but in all
classes of Russian society with which l
have to do the same feeling is very
clear
"Therc is evidently feeling that tho
two nations are under somewhat sim
liar economic conditions, each being
vast in extent, with enormous unde-
veloped resources and, that our country
having taken the lead in all that per-
tains to material development to say
nothing of leadership in other fields,
both the exposition and the country at
large are the most fitting places for the
study of the leading facts. The result
of this feeling is that considerable
number of Russians are making ready
to visit Chicago, and, what is still more
to the purpose, the government is send
ing large number of its foremost ex-
perts in various departments for the
study of the exhibits at Chicago, and
for examination into the various insti-
tutions throughout the United States.
A recent publication gives the names
of some forty such special delegates,
among them prominent professors in
the universities and leading officials in
the MINISTRIES Several of these are
also representatives of people in the
highest political and social positions.
Typical of these are such as the young
Prince Sergius WolkonslIy, who belongs
to one of the most distinguished fam
lilies in the empire, and who has already
distinguished himself as an official and
writer and Princess Schahooskoy,
who, distinguished by the development
of establishments for woman's work on
her estates, is sent especially to take
charge of the Russian exhibit of such
work at Chicago. She, too, belongs to
one of the most noted families in the
empire, and is one of the empress
maids of honor"

HAD TO PAY ANYWAY.

A Rural Visitor Tries an Unsuccessful Plan
with Worlds Fair Restaurant.
He came up from southern Illinois to
attend the dedication of the state build
ing, and after it was over he began to
seek something to eat. He had been
told all about the high prices, and he
entered the restaurant in the Horticul-
tural building with determination TO
resist all attempts to hold him up. He
studied bill of fare until the waiter at
his elbow grew tired and went to the
other side of the table to take the or
der of Chicago man who had just en-
tered.
whats this here New England
boiled dinner?' asked the Illinois man
of the Chicago man, as the impatient
waiter went off to fill the latter's order.
"Corned beef and cabbage, principal
ly," replied the Chicago man.
1t was the cheapest dish on the bill
of fare, but it evidently did not suit the
Illinois visitor, and he resumed his
study of the bill of fare. Pretty soon
his face lighted up. His eye had caught
two items. One was mashed potatoes
no charge" and the other dread and
butter, no charge" BE saw chance
to beat the caterer, and when the wait
er returned to take his order he said:
Bring me some bread and butter,
some mashed potatoes and a glass of
water"
The waiter looked tired, but he went
away and the Illinois man winked at
the Chicago man. The order came, and
with it check fo' twenty cents.
"Nyhats that fore" queried the Illi-
nois man ''This bill says thay's no
charge fog bread and butter or dashed
potatoes. What's the twenty cents
for"
For the water" said the waiter.

and the visiting celebrities were treated
almost as guests of the city. 1t is not
at all likely that any of them will ever
forget the occasion, for everything went
off successfully and the sights pre-
scented at the worlds fair so far charmed
and entranced these people of mental
superiority that their enthusiasm and
praise knew no bounds. They will all
take back to their homes with them i'm
pressions that will in all probability re-
suit in much good to the exposition.
The scribes can write intelligently and
accurately of what their eyes have seen
and their ears heard, and those who de-
pend on them for their everyday in
formation will be more fully and re-
liably informed than they could other
wise have been.
The fair officials have done all in their
power to render the visits of the nota-
bles enjoyable, according them every
possible privilege and in every conceiva-
BILE way ministering to their comfort
and convenience. 1t is safe to predict
that in all the worlds fair season there
will not be an event which will add
more to the history of the exposition
than will the meeting of the newspaper
people.
Saturday is at present the great day
at the fair. The half-holiday granted
by many of the business houses of the
city on that day to give their employees
chance to visit the "White City"
swells the number of admissions to
more than double that of any other
day of the week. There is also much
greater incentive to visit the fair on
Saturday, and especially in the evening,
in the superior attractions which are
| offered in the form of fine musical con-
certs and Observation-Disclosures. There
| are several bands constantly employed
at the grounds, and they perform every
day, but on Saturday, in view of the in.
creased attendance, the directors exert
themselves to furnish something extra
good. The Examinations in the evening
defy description. They must be seen
to be properly understood and appre-
ciated.
The average daily attendance for the
first three weeks of the exposition has
been in the neighborhood of thirty
thousand, Saturdays excepted. The
regular Saturday crowd is about three
times that number. At that rate, of
course, there is no money being made,
as the regular daily expenses of the
fair greatly exceed the amount re-
ceived from the sale of tickets, but the
attendance is on the increase, and when
the summer season is fairly on it will
be twice or three times as large as al
present, and in the fall season the rich
will come. One reason why there is rush
small attendapce just now is that the
knowledge>of the incompleteness of the
exhibits has been so widely published
that it is keeping a great many out
siders from coming until later on.
Much has been said and written
about the sights to be seen in the Mid
way Plaisaaee. but hardly day pessst

GUIDES AS INTERPRETERS.
A Corps of Men at Jackson Pa Who
Can Talk Half a Dozen Languages.

A Corps of Men at Jackson Pa k who
Can Talk Half Dozen Languages.
Guides that can talk half dozen
!anguages-such is the latest ncquis-
ton to Capt Rice's staff on the worlds
fair grounds. While the corps IS not
gotten up strictly as an interpreters
corps, it is practically such.
Company No. 25 is the one these lin
gusts belong to, and it is under the
command of Capt. Foote. II is drilled
In the same manner as the Columbian
guard, but it does not draw the same
salary. Each mans remuneration is
thirty dollars per month.
The company will, when completed,
consist of two hundred and fifty men.
At present it contains about eighty,
but is in the formative process as yet.
The personnel is to be one of great in
telligence. Most of the men are from
colleges and universities of the coun-
try, but many are from foreign coun-
tries and speak readily five or six Ian
guages. Most of the men speak more
than one language. and those that
speak English, German and French, the
languages with which one can get
along anywhere on the globe almost,
are numerous.
This corps of guides must not be con-
founded with the roller-chair men.
The latter are under the control of con-
cessionaires, while the guides are under
the control of the exposition Manages
ment through Capt. Rice. commandaut
of the Columbian guard. They will BIZ
stationed at different buildings in tho
grounds, and from there they will be
ready to do service for such as need
them. The price is to be fifty cents an
hour for parties of five or less, so that
party may have the services of an in
telligent guide, speaking their tongue,
at ten cents apiece, in case there be five
in the party.
The corps is to be uniformed differ.
emily from the Columbian guard. The
uniform is to be of cadet gray, and will
be trimmed with black braid The cap
is to be of blue, and the buttons are OF
kind known technically as ''blind"
buttons. The men are not uniformed
as yet, and every morning as they drill
on the administration court visitors
wonder what body of soldiers they are.

As the Yankee Pronounced 1t.

Cunning in the use of language to
give false impression is Yankee trick
celebratedin song and story. Many in-
stances of its use come to light in the
testimony given in courts. An illustra-
ton of such dishonest craftiness is re-
lated by Maine gentleman. A man
came to him wanting him to buy a
share in n country lottery in which the
principal prize was horse. "I'll take
one" he said, 'if you'll warrant me I
shall draw the horse" "Oh, yes" said
the seller, glibly pocketing the cash.
'Pll warrant you to get the horse"
The horse went in another direction,
and the ticket holder, meeting the
seller said, jokingly: II thought you
warranted me to draw that horse"
"Oh, no." said the other, shrcwdly, 81
did not say warrant, but want. ] said
l wanted you to get the horse, and l
did. "-Bangor Commercial.

vANNA HARDIN COUNTY, THURSDAY, JUNE o. 1893

without ushering in some new attrac-
ton TO the myriad curiosities assem-
bled there. 1t is at present the most
wonderful thoroughfare on the globe,
beyond doubt, and it is safe to say that
anyone who has once visited the place
will declare it to be worth the price of
admission without going any further
into the great fair. Some very ludicrous
things occur in the laisance, and near
ly everybody who passes through It is
kept on the broad grin from one end to
the other. The Turk with his vol
luminous unmcntionables goes stalking
majcstically along unmindful of the
facetious remarks of American funny
fellows, who inquire of Mr.. Bargl ash
Begorra or whatever his name is, the
name of his tailor. Our friend from the
Bosporous is too dignified to notice
any jesting remarks about his ward
robe; he likes big pants and he doesn't
care who knows it.
The story is told of one venturesome
Turk that he conceived a strong desire
to possess a suit of American clothes,
and late one night stole away from the
Plaisance and sought the "old clo' men
of Clark street. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that he was afforded ample op-
portunity to crafty his suddenly ac-
quired taste for change of appare
Like all luclkless wights who wander
into the unhallowed precincts of the
"levee" he was speedily skinned" or
in other words relieved of his oriental
vestment and all the cash he had and
decl1ed out in back-number suit of
"hand- me-downs," the bare sight of
which would give respectable clothier
bad attack of the horrors. In this
plight the poor misguided Turk found
his way back among his brethren in
the Plaisance, who, when they recog-
nizcd him, set up such yell of derision
that he crawled into an out of-the-way
corner, where he remained, like coon
in hollow tree, until some kind friend
brought him another outfit of fez and
baggy trousers. In these he speedily
clad himself and stored away his Clark
street regimentals as curiosities.
In half hours walk through the
Plaisance one may hear nearly all the
languages spoken in the world, and
among them some that are rarely ever
spoken in this country. Then there is
the mingling of the many strange
costumes. The darlS-skinned citizen of
Cairo with his white turban and sky
blue gown jostles the still darker
skinned gentleman from Java with his
calico pants and nondescript headgear,
and so on. And they all seem to be as
neighborly as though they had dwelt
next door to each other for years in
stead of few days 1t is indeed a
strange thing that has come to pass
J here in our city, the name of which but
