DO more Interested In one department
than In others. but there - variety
enough to- occupy all the spare time
that envy busy man or woman can give
to tho fair"
In addition TO the display Of higher
0rta there arc extensive exhibits OF
educational msthods by our leading
colleges aud schools which demonstrate
the wonderful progress made in the de-
quarter of . century. In the education
NJ section of the Manufactures building
are to be found these valuable and i'm
teresting evidences of the growth of
knowledge in our land, and anyone tbot
leaves the fair without visiting this dis
play will miss one of its best features.
Some of the strange costumes worn
by the foreigners at the fair occasion
considerable merriment among the
young folks On the Midway Plaisance
the other day q score of grinning youths
surrounded one of the members of the
Javanese community and held him prts-
oner for q few moments while they
made sport of his clothing. The licorice-
colored victim of their curiosity stood
the joke good-naturedly as far as his
apparel was concerned, but when they
got to polkinR him in the ribs and step
ping on his toes, he rebelled and broke
through the line that surrounded him
and made his ESCAPE.
Among the most deeply-interested
visitors at the fair are q number of In
dams from a neighborinR show. They
devote all their spare time to sight
seeing among the wonders of the cheap
big show 1t is quite evident that
they also enjoy the public interest
which their appearance never fails to
excite. CARRIED in all the trappings of
their wild life, they pose and parade
for the benefit of the gaping crowds
about them.
One of the most delightful features
children, which gives a concert each
week. There are twelve hundred lit
tie people in the chorus who have been
carefully trained by Prof Tomiins, of
Chicago. Their childish voices make
grand music they wake the echoes
of Music hall. Prof. Tomlins has Ia
bored long and patiently with his
chorus of little folk, but he has reason
to feel proud of it, for it is undoubtedly
one of the finest ever gotten together.
The Agricultural building, which has
been somewhat behind the others in
filling up, is now the favorite resort of
a vast throng of interested visitors
each day. The exhibits of the different
states are exceedingly fine, and in the
arrangement and decoration of the
many booths exquisite taste is shown.
There are in this building some fea-
lures of rare interest, among them be-
ing the mammoth cheese from Canada,
weighing eleven tons, and the wonder
full chocolate pavilion, which is con-
structed of thirty thousand pounds of
brown chocolate.

If we accept as conclusive the YER

have seen the worlds fair we may rest
assured that in all the history of
worlds fairs there never yet has been
one SO grand and imposing as our Co
lumbar exposition. In the enthusias-
tic praises which have been lavished
upon It by those of exalted station
there has not been one dissenting
voice, and among the vast number of
intelligent human beings who have
thronged the wonderful city there
have been few to detract and none to
ignore. In fact if we except a few dis

personal spite or grievance In conse-

story is going the rounds about a
man who wandered into the Electricity
building a day or two ago and was
taken away shouting crazy. It was
said that he stood before a pavilion in
which cut glass in myriad forms throws
back the reflection of many incandes-
cent lights. From the roof of the
pavilion towers a pillar eighty-two
feet For a few seconds this is pillar
of ruby light. Then it changes to
white light, and next to purple. With
the regularity of clockwork the trans
formation of color goes on, but always
the pillar of light made by five thou
sand lamps is there. And each lamp
has the power of six candles. On top
of the column is a bulb six feet high
Thirty thousand bits of crystal go to
make up the bulb. The expert and
eight assistants We're six weeks putting
the bits together. Through this glass
flash the most powerful electric burn
ers. Here is base of dazzling scintil-
color, an apex of fire. OF the twenty
four thousand horsepower which the
management has provided for the en-
tiee fair, seventeen thousand horse
power is set apart for the manufacture
Of cleo tricity for various purposes The
at the rate of fifteen hundred horse
power. Before this pillar stood the
man, plain farmer, when the current
was turned on. He saw that eighty
feet of solid br2liancy blaze out and
then die away. He stood as if chained.
Once or twice he put his hand to his
face. Somebody who saw he was
peculiarly affected started to speak to
him. He raised his arms and with a
terrible yell fell forward on his face.
Two guards picked him up Shouting
at the top Of his voice he started on a
wild race over dynamos and wires and
motors. Five guards caught him and
overpowered him. All the way to the
station he fought and shouted. Then
he became calm. 'I'll tell you how it
was,'' he said. s'Somebody has stuck bot
ties (meaning the incandescent globes)

greatest educators of the people that
has ever arisen in this country. The
leading artists and artisans view with
great pride and satisfaction the work
of young Americans and predict for
sculpture and art n glorious future in
the west And they are undoubtedly
warranted in their predictions, as a
careful scrutiny of the products of
American genius at the fair will prove.
In this connection we may fitly quote
the words of the Philadelphia Ledger
in reference to the grand exhibition,
which says:
Irrespective of the historical, scion
tiAc or artistic lessons it has to impart,
it Ii q grand exhibition appealing to
every ones sense of beauty, and to
every ones interest in things curious.
The buildings are marvels of archi-
tectural dignity and beauty and So vari-

mented with sculptured figures as to
afford the keenest delight to the eye.
Within the beautiful structures are

Rich in relics and ruins of a civiliza-
ton that long antedated the coming OF
Columbus, and which runs back beyond
the ken into the prehistoric period OF
the world, Mexico is the first to open a
display in the Anthropological build
ing. The event occurred few days
ago, but was unattended by any cere-
monies. though hundreds gained adj

and weapons which the Indians of Mex
leo use.
AS Prescott says in his Conquest Of
Mexico" the Spaniards encountered a
civilization in Mexico superior to their
own in all save the art of destruction,
and in the Mexican anthropological
collection there are numerous remnants
of this superior civilization in antique
pieces of architecture, pottery and war
weapons, while other evidences have
been accurately reproduced from de-
tails written in descriptions given by
Cortez and his scriveners- Among the
reproductions in miniature are the tenn
pies of Xochicalco and Xicotenatl,
which were great Pyramidal structures
after the Egyptian style of architec-
ture.
Caciques of the army of Guatomatzln,
such antiques as sacrifcial stones, there
are among the collections articles of
wear, palm leaf capotes, gaudy colored
cotton cloth releases, straw sandals and
other parts of the costumes of the differ
emit kinds of Indians still inhabiting
Mexico, together with the old-fashioned
utensils they used to grind corn, the
simple loom and wooden pillow. Home
life in the tropical part of the country
is illustrated in q matched and grass
made cottage, while q farmhouse is
built of adobe to keep out the cold. The
collection is large, varied and interest
ing, and is exhibited at Prof. Putnam's
solicitation by Col. George NJ. Greene.

THE tower of oranges from southern
California is thirty feet high and five
feet in diameter. At q little distance it
looks like solid mass. The oranges
are put on as veneering. Each orange
rests upon q little wire loop which
keeps it from pressing against any
other. At the base of the tower is q
box with a slot in it. The person who
guesses the number of oranges on the
tower and deposits a slip will get a box
of oranges when the fair is over, sent

The talk about two Democratic
State tickets in New York this Fall
shows that politics is beginning al
ready to occupy attention in that
State. Only minor State officers
and a Judge of the Court of Appeals
are to be chosen at large, but CON-
plete Legislature is also to be chosen
thing that happens only every
other year in New York. The reck-
less character of much of the legisla-
ton of the recent session is be-
lieved to be very obnoxious to the
Cleveland faction of the Democratic
party. The passage OF the Buffalo
police bill in opposition to the wishes
of the people of that city and the re-
fusal of Governor Flower to- keep
his pledge to the opponents of the
bill has made profound impression
throughout the State. The Demo-
cratic Buffalo Courier calls upon the
anti-Hill and anti-Sheehan Demo-
Gratis to organize, and the Albany
Journal believes that there will be
bolt from the Democratic State Con-
vention and two tickets in the field.
1t is best to wait until later in the
year, however, to see whether these
rumors will prove true. Democratic
threats do not always materialize
just about election time.
