OGDEN, March 2S.-When the thirty
car special train conveying the Javanese
colony and exhibit on their journey to
the Windy City reached Ogden this morn
ing, the Union depot platform groaned
beneath its great load of anxious human
ity, gathered for the purpose of catching
a glimpse of the peculiar and interesting
little people. A conservative estimate OF
the number of people in the crowd places
1t at /, 800, and before the train pulled
out at 10 O'Clock fully 2, 800 people must
have taken in the sights.
just at 1925 the train drawn by double
header, steamed into the depot and as
soon as 1t came TO 8 standstin the jaw
anese were unloaded and revealed to the
lnquisitiVe gaze OF the multitude. The
1, men stood the stares and explanations OF
surprise-and delight-with stolid in
difference, but the women, shy little
creatures that they were, kept their great
btack eyes fixed on the ground and the
hot blood surged into their cheeks and
showed family through their coffee
colored skin. The people were all pc
culIarly quiet, modest and unassuming
and even The native prince, Raden Sock
madilaga by name, made but little extra
show.

Ogden photographers induced Manager
Mundt to arrange his people and the train
In such manner as TO make quaint
and highly interesting picture, and Sc
cured Il number of negatives.
There were others than the Javanese
men and women-babies, five of them, all
dark little tots still unable to walk. One
girl, Just y years old, had a baby but
A eleven years younger than herself.
Most OF the women were good looking,
and several were t'just too sweet as
one society lady rapturously exclaimed.
Their costumes varied greatly, but were
usually a cross between a Holland peasant
girls, a Jenness Miller union suit and q
bathing skirt. Every color of the rain
bow was represented in printed silks and
other fabrics.
The exhibit includes an entire villa &c,
transported from a great German planta-
ton on Java, which will be set up at the
Worlds fair on the Midway Plaisance.
There will also be exhibited the
products of the islands, many native
manufactured articles, woods, spices and
some animals and birds. Secured in ore
of the baggage cars was an ourang-out-
ang four and ons-half feet high and four
years old. The high altitude and cold
weather has had bad effect on the al
most human animal, and the gentleman
in charge fear they will lose him.
Thus far the cold and altitude have al
fected the Javanese but little, although
the managers were considerably worried
when they contemplated that they were
yet lar IRON the summit of the noun
tains. They are prepared Ior almost any
emergency.
