ON THE MIDWAY.
A pretty big bunch of Indianans-ex
President Harrison, Lew Wallace, Dar
Voorhees,, the governor of Indiana and 9
dozen other distinguished hoosiers-
spent an hour or more on the midway
on Tuesday last. Harrison is quite fond
of glass or two of cool lager, and be
knows just as well where it can be found
as any one.
John L. Sullivan, in dress suit, Law
ander kids, and plug hat, traversed
the midway on Wednesday, the observed
of all observers. He was strictly on
'soft drinks" and looked as fine as silk.
Mrs. Peter White, who has had charge
of the Irish village since the departure
of Lady Aberdeen, is thinking of taking
some laces and an old loom or two, and
some of her Limerick girls to the mid
winter fair, so she informed me Satur-
day.
Mrs. White is an ideal Irish beauty,
too pretty and gracious end refined to be
described. Thirteen thousand people
visited this village on Saturday last and
Dearly two thousand kissed the Blsrney
stone at 10 cents kiss. Mrs. White
was plunged into widowhood in April
Last, and she looks charming in black.
Most young widows do. It's a way they
have.
Thomas B, Reed of Maine, accom-
panied by Mrs. Reed and Miss Klttie
Reed. made tour OF the plaisance yes
terday and last evening. He arrived on
Tuesday, and refused all reception and
avoided all hsnd-shaking, except in the
Maine building. On Friday Reed and
his family, ex-President Harrison, Geo.
w. Childs and party. George Francis
Train and the heir to the throne of Aus
tris (if he behaves himself) occupied the
same car ON the Ferris wheel. Subse-
quently Reed and the Lord Mayor of
Dublin took ''snlfter" together at the
Irish village.
Among those who took in the street of
Cairo last night-Theater, Temple Of
Suxor, jugglers and all-were Mr.. and
Mrs. Carlisle of Washington, Mrs. Paran
Stevens and large party from New
York, w. Parker Shortridge, president
of the Erie railroad; Sir William
Cunsrd, of the Cunard Steamship COM
pany; DIR. William Pepper, president of
the University OF Pennsylvania; Coco
Tateno, Japanese am bassador; the

At all the doors of the California build

when Dan Voorhees, visited the Indi-
ana building on Wednesday last his first
exclamation was, Its big thing on
ice" But he did not mean the exposi-

for the Tail Sycamore of the Wabash
few hours before.
