Beautiful Description Of View From the
RoOi Of Manufacturers Building.


Special Correspondence
CHICAGO, Sept. One of the
most interesting hooks, and one
that is little spoken Of, is in the adj
ministration building, the room
where press passes are issued. The
apartment itself is but an ordinary
office, but the walls are papered
with the first pages Of newspapers
IN every language, put on in criss-
cross fashion. A study Of these
different sheets is very interesting,
showing, az it does, what a factor
the press is, and how it binds to-
gether the four corners of the
globe.
GETTING pASSES.
AS we stood waiting to present
our credentials and apply for passes
which admit you not only to the
grounds, but are the means of ones
receiving many other courtesiest, at
least ten parties representatives. of
papers from every section-were
refused, as the free list has been cut
down. AS the dapper young clerk
came down the long line of appli-
,cants we dared not think what our
fate might be, but we nonchalantly
surveyed the walls, finding much
prof and amusement thereby, and
also relief from nervousness. But
to us he was all courtesy and we
had no trouble showing that Waco
and Texas stand well abroad.
PRETTY JAPANESE DANCES
The dantiest thing | have come
across here are two japanese dane
ing girls in Midway; both SO tiny
they locked hardly able to carry
the huge butterfly bows at their
backs. Their faces and lips were
artistically covered with;paint, until
their competitions rivalled the lily
and rose.
Their manners were gentle and
refined, and they conversed in soft
tones that were positively fascinat
ing. SO thought the masculine
element, too, for they lowered about
and though the girls could not
speak even little bit of English,
they we're evidently not averse to
Irritation and gazed respsonsvely
back at the admiring youths.
THE CuILDREN'S BUILDING.
One Of the best features of the
exposition, and one that thorough
ly weiliconducted, is the Children
building. 1t is perfect boon to
mothers, who otherwise would be
compelled to stay at home.
The little ones are amused, given
good, wholesome dinner and
rocked to sleep, all for 25 cents fol
the entire day. The ladies in
charge are trained kindergarten
teachers, and have all the apparatus
for the work. The rooms are large
and airy; boxes of beautiful bloom,
ing plants filed the windows, and
each room is provided with piano
aud pianist. This is for children
over two years old. The babies
have a regular nursery and trained
nurses to look after them. The
committee in charge is very parti
cular a. to the number and condi
tion of the children, and make,
many inquiries, which are duly
registered. Then the child is tagged
with brass number and marche.
off for q happy day.
TOUCHING EN PEASANT.
Some one who has been kline
enough to read my previous letter.
puts the query: Why | do not &C
more into detail concerning thu
exhibits? Well, simply because t
the majority of THE News readers
it would be very tiresome. 81
many have seen for themselves
Others would be bored with World
Fair minutie, and then, too, tn,
magazines and Associated Pres
furnish all such matter in such gooc
form that those who really want t.
read have no difficulty in finding
what they want. SO it is my
province to touch on things only er
