The fair is far from being completed.
Many of the buildings are yet uniin-

exhibits are properly arranged and
in place. 1t will certainly be the first
of July before all things are ready.
In some departments not one-fourth
of the exhibits are in place. There
is no tax on the natural functions.
Free toilet-rooms are TO be found in
most of the buildings, but side by side
with these are places where a nickel

IT now transpires that some Of the
officials in the patent Office have been
standing in with the Bell telephone
company and assisting that great gou-

in violation of the law. And still the
President is awfully slow in turning
the rascals out.

ished to show a different effect.
Great slabs of oak, walnut, cherry,
ash, maple, beech and other woods
show the richness of our forests. In
the mining department tremendous
blocks of coal are shown and other
minerals exhibited This exhibit,
however, is not completed. 1t Will
have to be arranged with rare skill
and taste if it shall compare favor
ably with those of some other States,
which are splendidly designed and
executed. The agricultural exhibit
has not yet been unpacked, for the
booth is just being constructed.
THE SIZE OF IT.
Ii is a difficult matter to give an
idea of the magnitude Of the World 5
Fair. 1t is too big to take in. Many
persons OF this neighborhood were at
the centennial exhibition in Philadei-
phia, and they will remember that as
pretty big show. At the centennial
there were 60 acres of buildings the
Worlds Fair has $50 acres. The cost
of the centennial was IS, 800 900 the
Worlds Fair costs S32, 100000 1t will
take a month to thoroughly view the
Worlds Fair. Its buildings are so
numerous. its exhibits so infinite in
number, its attractions so wonderful,
that visit Of a couple OF weeks will
not nearly suffice to see them all.
The Manufactures and Liberal Arts
building is the largest structure III the
world. 1t is ISL feet wide and 1,GS1
feet long, while the height from the
floor to the roof over the central hall
is 24j feet. 1t covers thirty acres OF
ground. 1t cost 81, 700, 0OO-and when
the fair is over it is to be pulled down.
There are 100000 feet Of lumber in
the floor. and it took five carloads
of nails TO fasten it to the joists. The
old Roman Coliseum seated $4,000
persons. This building is four times
as large as the Coliseum. The lum-
Ter represents timber from 100 acres
of Michigan pine lands. 1t is an
architectural monster that has never
had au equal in the world as to size.
1t is occupied by the manufacturers
of every sort of goods under the sun
the finest wares that can be pro
duced by human skill may be seen
there. The United States and foreign
countries vie in the display of furni-
ture, jewelry, musical instruments,
china and glassware of every descrip-
cutlery, cloths, toys-in short, every
thing made for use or adornment or
pleasure. A week might be spent in
this building and then something left
unseen.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The Worlds Fair at Chicago is pos
itively the greatest show on earth.
Conceived in grandeur, executed in
magnificence, it is one Of the wonders
of the age. 1t is difficult thing to
write up. 1t is of such II colossal
character that one mind cali scarcely
take it in in its entirety-certainly
one person cannot describe it with
anything like completeness. What
the REGISTER shall say about it is
simply the impressions made upon
one person, and these impressions
NAV be entirely different from those
made upon another.
The Worlds Fair is something like
the buildings of which it is composed
it has every appearance OF attrac-
tiyeness, which, when probed, shows
hollowness and sham. The great
buildings of the exhibition are mag
nificent to look at-white structures
that seem like marble palaces, adorned
with pillars and statuary-of wonder
ful architectural beauty. They are
built of framework OF iron and
wood, covered with staff, which is a
composition of plaster, cement and
hemp or some other tibrous stun.
staff is light and tough, easily mould
ed into any shape desired, and is fire
proof and waterproof. 1t looks all
right-but it is not marble.

decided that the Chinese exclusion
act is constitutional, and that John
Chinaman will either have to return
to his native land or obey the regis
tration laws enacted by Congress.
This decision may work some hard
ships, and many persons may think
that we may as we'll have an indus
trious Chinaman to wash our clothes,
work in our mines or help build our
railroads "a to have the country over
run with other Objectionable immi-
grants from foreign lands. However,
the representatives of the people in
Congress have co l~id-red the exclu-
sion of the Chimes necessary to the
public welfare, and as the American
citizens themselves have to obey the
laws of their country it is not right
that we should let any foreign ele
ment disobey them. Many of the
missionary societies of this country
are urging repeal of the law, fear
ing that China will retaliate by ex-
Guiding foreigners from her dominions.

A BERKELEY county friend takes
the REGISTER to task because we do
not evince satisfaction at the appoint
ment of Hon. Stuart w. Walker to be
assistant district attorney. Our friend
also thinks we should not snort" at
the idea Of Mr.. Walker succeeding
Mr.. Wilson in Congress- We confess
that Mr.. Walkers appointment has
not filled us with wild hilarity. His
greatness as a lawyer is not sufficient
TO offset his littleness as a politician
in our estimation. We cannot en-
dorse the appointment of the man
who recently went to great deal of
trouble to deprive Shepherdstown
Democrat of a little one horse Office
from personal malice, and who by
hook and crook-especially crook
largely contributed to that end. Such
Democrat makes us sick. AS to Mr.
Walkers candidacy for Congress to
succeed our own Mr.. Wilson, why.
that would make horse laugh. Just
imagine the Berkeley county states
man rafting around in Mr.. Wilson's
place like bean in tarrell It's too
absurd to think about. We hardly
think the country is ready yet for the
exchange. But, though the idea
seems ridiculous enough now, the
REGISTER is willing to make this
promise: If the time ever comes
when Mr.. Walker is really half as big
man as he now thinks he is We'll
support him for any Office his modes
ty may indicate he wishes.

THE OLD LIBERTY BELL.
1t Is Placed in Position in the Pennsyl-
vania Building.


CHICAGO, April %. = Beneath leaden
skies, the Pennsylvanian's choicest
weather, her old liberty bell was today
deposited within the walls of her state
building at Jackson park. During its
progress to the park it was the recipient
of continued ovation. 1t was escorted
by the highest officials of Philadelphia
and Chicago, and surrounded by march
ing troops of regular and citizen soldiery,
and saluted by the president of the ma
ton whose birth it announced to the
world.
1t was after noon when the bell was re-
moved from the car and deposited in a
handsome float drawn by six horses, pre-
coded by platoon of police, followed by
military escort, and amid the plaudits
of the multitude started on the journey to
Jackson park. The four stalwart police
men, who accompanied it from Philadel-
phia, stood guard over it on its journey
and Gathering over the granite pavements
came the guard of honor, the Chicago
hussars, Respondent in their gorgeous
uniform, preceding Governor Altgeld, of
| Illinois, and staff. Next came Mayor
Stuart. of Philadelphia, and Mayor Har-
rison, of Chicago, and carriages contain
ing Philadelphia officials, followedIby the
city council and d1gnitaries of Chicago,
Worlds fair officials and citizens in car
riages.
The streets were thronged along the
line OF march and the patriotic relic was
cheered again and again. The enthusiasm
was perhaps the greatest at the Lexington
hotel, where President Cleveland, sur
rounded by prominent men and gaily
dressed ladies, greeted the bell. Mr..
Cleveland stood against the railing of the
balcony and as the bell passed raised his
hat and remained uncovered until the
float got by.
On arrival at the Pennsylvania building
Mayor Stuart delivered short address in
turning the bell over to the care of the
city and the Worlds fair, Mayor Harrison
responding in a short speech OF acceptance
on behalf of the city, and President Palmer
of the Worlds fair on behalf of the expo
sition. President Higinbotham of the
local fair directory also replied in behalf
of his colleagues.

READY FOR THE OPENING.
Everything VIII Be in Readiness for tn
Opening on Monday.

Everything VIII Be In Readiness LOT the
Opening on MONDAY.
CHICAGO, April 29.-Tonight and for
the Jew remaining hours striving and
struggling is in order to be ready at the
opening of the World fair. In the great
manufacturers hall particularly every
possible effort is being made to get mat
ters in shape for the reception Of the
presidential party. Everywhere the con-
struction department is putting the
finishing touches to the permanent work
and so it is with the landscape de-
partment. Besides the temporary
structures are disappearing rapidly and
scaffolding is falling like magic from the
newly completed buildings. Overhead
electric wires were removed today and the
grounds were lighted tonight through
the permanent underground system.
Painters are finishing the women's, min
ing and a dozen other buildings, and by
Monday morning everything will be OF
the purest white. The great gilded
statue of the republic shines shines forth
in all the splendor of its Sc. 0O0 coat of gold
leaf.
The statuary around the grand basin is
completed. The rain that brought grief
to most of the departments has been a
welcome gift to the gardens and lawn
makers, and everything in their line will
look it's best if the sun will only shine
Monday. The grand stand at the east
side of the administration building is
complete, and will hold 1000 invited
guests, $50 newspaper men, and fifty
guests in President Cleveland's portion OF
the stand.
When the president touches the button
700 flags and banners Will break into
graceful folds, each being loosed by the
signal which will be the unfurling of old
glory from the central flag staff in front
of the administration building.
