sands upon thousands of added visitors
is, to say the least, anything but reas-
surfing. We are promised, however,
that by the time the fair opens there
will be ample facilities for taking care
of the crowds, Cbicagoans and all.
But Notwithstanding this promise,
even though it is made by the statis-
teal genius who runs the mathemat-
zeal department of the worlds fair,
there is room for fear that there will
be some discomfort in getting about
our big city, when the numerous rail
ways which center here begin unload
ing their throngs of passengers in our
midst
The aforesaid statistical genius, who,
by the way, has figured the thing all
out for the guide books, states that in
addition to the present accommoda-
tions there will be extra trains run be-
tween the city and jackson park on
all the roads running in that direction
There will also be a number of boat
lines which will take a great many
people down the lake shore to the fair
grounds, which beyond doubt will be
the route most favored by all who en-
joy the fresh breeZes and a ride on the
water. These boats, or few of them,
at least, were kept busily employed all
last summer in carrying people to the
fair grounds, but the force is to be
greatly augmented and large landings
are being built on the lake front for
the use of passengers.
We hope our mathematical inform
ant is correct in his calculations, and
we have every reason to believe that
he is, but until the fair season is fair
ly on and we have had a test there
Will continue to be some doubt as TO
our ability to cope with the masses of
people from abroad.
Within the last week the famous
Montana silver statue Justice" has
been cast and the operation, which
was performed with imposing cere-
monies, was an initial success. The
statue is the largest ever made of such
precious material, and when complete
and mounted will undoubtedly be the
marvel of the century. 1t is the life
size figure of the celebrated actress,
Miss Ada Rehan, and something like
sixty five thousand dollars worth of
.999 fine silver was used in the cast
The silver in the figure is two inches
thick, and the metal that overfiowed
in the casting will be made into SOU
venirs for the people of Montana

WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS.
What They Have Gained in the Past
Twenty-Five Years.

What They Have Gained in the Past
Twenty-Five Years.
In reply to the haunting question SO
frequently asked as to what women
suffragists had gained by their agitat-
ing and organizing, Miss Anthony re-
fers to the favorable stand for women
taken by the Omaha convention, to
Gov. Flowers recommendation that
women be represented in the constitu-
tional convention. Twenty-Five years
ago n congregational church in Illinois
was rent in twain because n woman
would pray in meeting. Now here is
Mrs Eastman regularly ordained by
that body. Women were elected in the
same manner as men alternate dele
gates TO the Minneapolis convention,
and when they came into the cOnven-
ton the men all rose to their feet and
cheered. The regular delegate tried to
have the alternate take his seat Ore
gon delegates, too, elected two women
alternates- Women voted for president
in Wyoming, and democratic commit
tee in the house listened for the first
time to what we had 10 say. In thirty
three states there are auxiliary sOcie-
ties to the national organizations, and
twenty-eight states were represented
by delegates to the convention in
Washington. Miss Anthony declares
that the women have turned every
church and every legislative body into
schools on this subject.-N. Y.

A PIucky School Teacber.

The plucl1iest school teacher in Con-
necticut, and as pretty as she is brave,
is Miss Effie Walcott, of Newtown.
She teaches a small district school in
Lands End, two miles from the Haw-
leyville station on the Housatonic rail-
road. She lives in Newtown and goes
to Hawleyville on the train every morn
ing. On Wednesday, the day of the
recent blizzard, she found that there
would be no train, owing to the road
being blockaded with snow Wrapping
her cloak closely about her, pinning her
skirt up to the height of her knees,
with a pair of rubber boots on her feet,
she started out and walked the distance
from Newtown to Hawleyville, little
over ten miles, and then to the school
house, two miles further on She suf-
fered no inconvenience from the re-
markable walk, and won the hearts of
the district committee by her plucky
of endurance.-N. Y. Sun.

queer-looking structure being erected
on the south end of the wooded island
near the Davy Crockett log house.
When completed it will represent the
sort of cabin the antipodean bush
men occupy. 1t is being built
of bark brought from Australia,
and is held together by long
poles dashed together with twisted
grasses. This odd building will be oc-
cupied by Australians during the sum-
mer, who will decorate the interior
with an interesting collection of hum
ter's traps and trophies of the chase.
Another interesting exhibit which is
about to be constructed is that of the
empire of India 1t will stand naar the
houses of Sweden, Hayti and New
South Wales, in the north end Of the
park. In architecture it is oriental to
the minutest detail
The building is nearly square, eighty
feet long by sixty wide and twenty-five
feet high A lofty gateway leading
into it is topped by minarets painted in
a rich but harmonious oriental style
Smaller ninarets of similar design to
those over the gateway are placed at
each of the corners of the main build.
ing. The general effect of the exterior
will render the structure a striking OBJ
ject among the cosmopolitan specimens
of architecture at the north end of the
park.
The contents of the building will be
in keeping with the style of exterior
decoration. The chief feature of the
exhibit will naturally be tea, in the
cultivation and manufacture of which
those represented by the Indian Tea
association have invested many mil
lions of dollars. Associated with the
Indian Tea association of Calcutta is
the Bengal chamber of commerce, so
that the entire tea industry of the In
dian empire. which gives employment
to nearly one hundred and fifty thou
sand people and in which are invested
ten million dollars, will be represented
at this building.
In the Indian building the visitor
will be able to drink Indian tea, served
in Indian manufactured crockery,
hand-painted by native Indians and
served by native servants in native
garb. Indian carpets, brass and copper
utensils, gold and silver vessels, antique
Indian arms curiously inlaid with fill
gree and mosaic work in precious met.
ais, magnificent collections of ivory
goods, etc, will be open for the inspec-
ton of visitors to this unique pavilion.
The total value of the collection will
be something enormous, reaching hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and the
ebony-hued attendants who wait upon
visitors will at the same time be exhib-
its as custodians of the costly treasures
in the building.

WOMAN'S DOINGS.

Miss ISABEL MCELHENY, a newspaper
writer, won the first prize of $500 Of
fered by the New York Mail and Ex-
press for the best tariff essay.
MISS JEssAMINE HARTE, daughter of
Mr. Bret Harte, is a tall and handsome
young lady, with fair, curling hair and
dark eyes, and she is said to inherit her
fathers strong love of character-study,
and to share his happy methods of ex
preston
THE Indianwomen on the reservation
at Dry Earth are said to be learning
the art of lace making, and this new
employment has the effect of inducing
neatness, for otherwise the market
value of their laces would be consider
ably lesseued
The superintendent of the Naval OBJ
servatory, in his report for 1s9O-91,
acknowledged his obligations to seven
ladies, without whose Jealous assist
ance, he says, the greater part of the
astronomical computations, ETC., would
not have been carried out
THOMAS EDISON, the great inventor,
prefers women machinists for the deli
cate details of his electrical inventions.
He says they have more fine sense about
machinery than many men, and sup
ports his statement by placing the
names of two hundred women on his
pay roll
EMERsoN's advice TO daughter is ex-
cellent for all daughters: Finish every
day and be done with it. For manners
and wise living it is advisable to re-
member you have done what you could
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt
crept in: forget them as soon as you
can. Tomorrow is a new day; you
shall begin it well and serenely, and
with too high a spirit TO be numbered
with your old nonsense This day, for
all that, is good and fair. 1t is too dear,
with its hopes and aspirations, to waste
a moment on yesterday.
FIFTEEN young women acted as ush-
ers at Niblo's theater, New York, Feb
ruary 10 It was an innovation Dor
rowed from England, and tried on an
American audience for the first time.
People stared at first, but the girls were
prim and modest, and knew their bust
ness. All coupon holders found their
seats promptly and there was no con-
fusion. The young women wore plain
black dresses, with no adornments save
the stiffest of linen collars and cuffs,
and spotless white aprons tied behind
in big bows. Rehearsals had been held
and they knew the location of the seats
perfectly. Fourteen of the girls were
novices The fifteenth was imported
from Scotland, and is an old hand at
the business

and the work is to be finished and the
statue in place, according to contract.
by the middle of April.
The statue, however, will be covered,
and will not be visible to the public
until formally unveiled. The time for
this ceremony has not yet been posi-
lively fixed. 1t may occur before May
1, but the probability is that it will be
deferred until the dignitaries from
Spain and Italy are here in order that
they may take prominent part.
The particulars concerning the cree
ton of this statue have been kept as
private as possible, partly to prevent
it from becoming stale before it is un.
yelled to the public and partly because
spectators we-s anxiously watching
an opportunity to copy it in the shape
of souvenirs and make it matter of
merchandise. Even now the artist and
the art committee decline to have it
photographed, reserving it as a sur
prise to the citizens of Chicago and
their visitors.
Out at the worlds fair grounds the
workmen of all descriptions are toiling
like beavers to get things in shape for
the opening day, which is now but lit
tie over a month away. The force has
been increased from time to time, as
the weather would permit, until at
present there are over ten thousand
men at work, perhaps nearly double

that number, and large forces are
working at night in many of the build
ings. Most of these men are employed
in putting the finishing touches to the
interiors and unpacking and placing
exhibits, which are daily arriving in
train loads.
Most of the debris of the buildings
has been removed from the grounds
and the roads and walks are receiving
a final dressing and smoothing. Many
of the buildings are being freshly
coated with white, and away mp in the
air the painters look like pigmies as
they busily ply their brushes upon the
statues which adorn the lofty domes.
Each day brings with it some new
feature in the park. One may travel
about the grounds to-day and see every
thing that is to be seen and tomorrow
there will be some new surprise for
him. Among the latest oddities is a

those in charge of this important work,
for fear the cast would prove faulty in
some respect, but when the molds were
cooled and the figure exposed. it was
found that the work had been perfect,
and the chief operators were overjoyed
at their success. 1t is announced that
Mrs. Meadow, who is the owner of the
Spotted Horse" gold mine in Mon
tana, will furnish the two hundred and
fifty thousand dollar gold plinth or base
for the statue.
The citizens of Chicago have in store
a great surprise. 1t will be sprung
upon them in the course of few days
1t will be the erection of heroic
bronze statue of Columbus at the foot
of Congress street on the lake front.
The statue was determined upon by
the exposition management about a
year ago, but the matter has been kept
very quiet, and only those who were
on the inside knew the significance of

the huge mound of earth which had
been thrown up on the spot intended
for the statue.
The statue is twenty feet in height,
and is quite different from any other
statue of Columbus here or abroad. 1t
represents the Genoese in the act of dis
covering America His costume is mill
itary and he wears a luxurious cloak,
the capacious skirts of which are flap
ping in the wind. His feet are far
apart, one foot being in advance of the
other. His arms are slightly raised.
and his right hand clinched like per-
son thrilled with what he saw. The
countenance is intelligent and noble,
eye fixed and the lips parted.
The statue will face Michigan av-
enue, though a regard for realistic eff
feet would suggest that it be placed
facing the water of the lake. 1t will
be placed on plain and massive pedes-
tai of granite. with a simple inscription,

THREE NOTED WOMEN.
What They Have accomplished In Their
Different Caliings-

Different Caliings-
Prof. Lucy Salmon, of Vassar college,
has made an interesting comparison of
the wages received by women in various
professions and branches of industry.
Teachers in Boston receive an average
salary of six hundred and twenty dol
lars, and from this they must pay board
and the expenses inseparable from their
position. Cooks receive on an average
two hundred and seventy-6ve dollars,
to which should be added the expenses
of light, fuel, laundry and food, making
a total of five hundred and six dollars,
about one hundred dollars year less
than the teachers, while the latter have
spent years in acquiring the education
necessary to their profession. AS Prof.
Salmon justly says, this leaves the cook
q woman of wealth in comparison; but
there is not the slightest reason to sup

pose, despite the difference in salaries,
that the ranks of the COOKS will be re-
cruited from the ranks of the teachers
Miss Grace Wells, Q bright young
Cincinnati girl, determined, a few
years ago, that she would obtain an
education and study to be 4 physician.
Her uncle, who was also her guardian,
did not approve of her plan, but she
persuaded him to lend her a COW, a
dozen hens and six turkeys for a year.
At the end of that time she had saved
enough to buy a printing outfit, which
she established in a corner of the wood
shed, and obtained orders for printing
envelopes, letter-heads and cards, so
that, by the end of the second year,
she was able to pay for the rent of the
COW and fowls for the year preceding
and to take lessons of the minister.
When she was eighteen, she had saved
enough to pay for fall and winter
term at the academy; and now she is
reading medicine with New Haven
doctor, and has money in the bank for
her whole medicine course.
Mrs. Abby Hopper Gibbons. daughter
of l. T. Hopper, the Quaker philanthro-
pist and founder of the Woman's Prison
association of New York, has recently
died, after a long life filed with good
and memorable deeds for her fellow
men. Mrs Gibbons gave much of her
life to hospital work, and was at the
front during the war. Her husband
was the author of the well-known war
lyric, I'VE are Coming, Father Abra-
ham," She was one of the founders of
the New York Infant asylum, also of
the Diet Kitchen association for the re-
lief of the sick poor, and as president
of the Woman's Prison association she
directed the investigation which so
largely contributed to the success of
the police matron's bill. Mr.. Hopper
was known as helper of slaves, and
their house was burned in the draft
riots of 1S63.-N. Y. Ledger.

Scandal.

It began at the top Of the hill in a
very small way. Somebody said: II
think" 1t rolled along, collecting bits
as it went, until somebody said: II be-
lieve." 1t went further and somebody
said: II know" And then it rolled
and rolled, until it was great big ball
that hit straight at somebody's heart
because somebody else said: II saw" "
and though the SNOWFALL looked fail
and white, though there seemed
nothing wrong about it, it was great
horrible lie. 1t began with idle gossip,
it grew with silly chatter until ii
reached its full size, fed by scandal.
There is only one way to fight snow
ball. Again I say, wait. Wait and
live out your life honestly AID truly,
and the sunshine of good deeds will
glare down upon the SNOWFALL Of scan
dal until it nelts away, and even its
existence is forgotten. 1t is true it is
hard to live things down sometimes,
but it is working two ways as by the
goodness you are living down the
wrong of others, go by the same
goodness you are living up to that
higher life which ends in the golden
world where scandal mongers can
never enter.
