aud 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 cars 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 haif-holiday granted
by many of the business houses of the
city on that day to give their employees
a 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 q much
greater incentive to visit the fair on
Saturday. and especially in Intervening.
in the superior attractions which are
offered in the form of fine musical con-
certs and brilliant illuminations. 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 neigh borhood of thirty

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 at
present and in the fall season the rich
will come. One reason why there is rush
a small attendance just now is that the
knowledge of the incompleteness of the
exhibits has been so widely published
that it is keeping 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 Plaisance. but hardly day passes

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

Guides that can talk half dozen
languages-such is the latest acquisi-
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. % is the one these lin
gusts belong to. and it is under the
command of Capt. Foote. 1t 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
telIigence. Most of the men are from
colleges and universities of the cour-
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 manage
ment through Capt. Rice. commandant
of the Columbian guard. They will be
stationed at different buildings in the
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
a 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
a 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 ore,

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax

and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

RUSSIANS INTERESTED.
United 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 a 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
have to do the same feeling is very
clear.
There is evidently a feeling that the
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

to the purpose. the government is send
ing a large number of its foremost ex-

study of the exhibits at Chicago, and
for examination into the various insti-

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 Wolkonsky, 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.
