Poor Pike County.

Pike county in this STATE re-
sembles the state of Nevada in some re-
speets. The soil is barren and it is said
that there are more bears than people iv-
within the county's boundaries. It began
to snow in Pike county early last Novem-
Der and has been showing regularly ever
since. In some places the snow is drifted
fifteen feet high. Nearly all the roads are
impossible.
This has caused all kinds of ineonven-
ience- No marriages have taken place
S ee Christmas and several engagements
have been declared off Young men find
it impossible to call on their sweet
hearts.

TALES or THE FAIR.

Coitsmb an Exposition.



There have been some great days at
Jackson park since the fair opened, but
the greatest day in all probability that
the White City viii see will be Ameri-
can day, July next A few days ago
Germany had her day, and IL was
grandly and enjoyably celebrated by
the Germans OF the city. There were
nearly quarter of q million people in
the grounds on that occasion. aud Ger
mania was the recipient of distinguished
hUnors, but on the Fourth OF July
we expect 20 see celebration which
will outshine anything of the kind ever
held in this country, Centenn's' day
not excepted.
This is, OF course, as Il should be,
for while we are cosmopolitan people
and nation the American sentiment
should prevail and all American-born
citizens should take pride in an event
which will herald 20 the world the
magnitude of our institutions and the
progress Of our country. There viii
no doubt be greatly increased ct
tendance during the first week Of July,
in view of the grand sights programmed
for the Fourth. The excursions have
begun 10 come in and the floating pop
ulation of our great city is daily in
creasing. In reference 10 the coming

Of inordinate curiosity to the hospital.
With one thing and another the
police Of the fair have been kept pretty
busy since the opening day, although
the number OF crimes committed in the
grounds has been surprisingly small.
Once in awhile some luckless individual
meets with loss or an accident ana inn
mediatcly resorts to the patrol, which
attends to his case with promptncss
avs dispatch. Since tho cessation Of
building operations there have been but
few accidents 70 workmeu, the only

This was a very distressing case. One

near the roof of the Manufactures

low A great many visitors were in the
building at the time, and they bcheld a
sight which unnerved the strongest Of
them and caused number of women

nto shapeless mass and never re-
gained consciousness.
Tho hospital service at the fair is ex-
cellent in every respect and through
it's agency many broken limbs have
been restored and much suffering has
been alleviatcd. The provisions for
caring for the children is another fea-
ture OF the fair service that is especial
ly commendable. BY its aid tired
mothers are relieved Of their precious
burdens for the time and enabled TO go
about unhampered by their little ones,
whom ia many instances they must
take with them or remain at home

were so frequent a short time ago are
now no longer heard, or at least are be-
coming very rare, and the impression,
which had been somewhat general, that
people were being robbed at the fair is
