AN INTERVIEW WITH N. c. HAWLEY,
Who has Just Returned from tle Worlds Fair a
 Chicago.-The Exposition Great Success

A reporter of THE BEE interviewed NJ c. Hawley, who has just returned from the Worlds fair. Mir Hawley has been an extensive traveller, has visited many expositions of the kind and those who contemplate going will be interested in what he has to say. To begin with MT Hawley regards 1.-The Worlds fair as a great success in the way of fine build ings. The buildings are something won- derful. The grounds are laid out very attractively, abounding in lakes and flower gardens. The state buildings are. something very creditable. Twas espec- ially pleased with the Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania buildings. For com fort found nothing to excel our Con- necticut building. As to the season of going, think the earlier the person ngoes, the better. There has been great deal of misrepresentation as to extortion on the grounds and at the hotels. I saw nothing that I would object to. The principal hotels had signs up announcing that there would be no extra charge dur l ing the fair. The distance from the cen \ ter of the city to the grounds is about six
 miles. The fare is 20 cents for round
 trip on the railroads. On the elevated
 road one can go for five cents. The com
 plaint that has been made that there gre
 not sufficient places to take rest on the
 grounds is not justiiable. There are plenty of settees on the grounds and fr
 some of the state buildings there are as many as 200 easy chairs, scattered about I The grounds are so spacious that 8 I crowd of 50,000 people is hardly no l ticed. Having attended two Paris exhi . bitions, as we'll as one in Philadelphia, il gives me an opportunity to speak as t the fair. It is no exaggeration to say
 that it exceeds any exposition ever held The means for conveyance about tn N grounds are also excellent. The foreigl $ buildings are spacious. Great progres ], has been made in getting the exhibit
 ready. At this date it is nearly ready It is believed in Chicago that the fair vii : run into the second year. recommen
 anyone to go who feel Chat they can al ford 1t. They never will see anythin
 like it in their life time again. 7

The ErnIntion of Nnms..

The evolution of names from foreign tongues into English is in many cases easy. From the German Bauer to the English Bowers, and from the French Boulanger to the English Bullinger is but a step, as it were. But there are no people who are oftener more humorously accused of altering their names than the Irish. Thus, Crehan has become Rehan; Carroll, Karl; Dillon, Dyllyn; Divver, Devere and Devyr; McCarty, Macartee and Makart: Slattery, Slater and Satter- lee; O'Brien, Obrion and Breen; McGin- ness, Guinness and Inness; Reilly, Rel yea; Duffy, Dufay; McGuffin, Magofin; Quinn, Queen; Fogarty, Fougert; flag gerty, Haggart; Sully, Soule. The Eng hsh singer, Braham, merely dropped a letter when he went on the stage. He was Hebrew, and his real name was Abraham. Chicago Herald.
