An Englishman,s view of the Fair.


What saw when I gained the north
ern and eastern balconies of the Admin
istration building surpassed and sur
prised my highest expectations. After
all that pen and pencil had done to pre-
pare me for the sight I felt that not one
half had been told me. The great White
City which rose before me, silent and
awful, seemed to belong to an order Of
things aboys our common world. 1t was
a poem entablatured in fairy palaces,
only to be done into human speech by
the voice Of some master singer. Itwas
dream of beauty which blended the
memory Of classic greatness with the
sense Of Alpine SHOWS. 1t was an apoca-
lypse of the architectural imagination.
The wildness of the day lent its own
apocalyptic setting to the scene. A
swaying, drifting curtain of cloud shut
in the horizon, blurring lake and sky ON
the one side in an indistinguishable
haze and on the other shrouding the city
in gloom Of smoke and rain.
Ever and again the towers Of the fair
were draped with wreaths of trailing
cloud, while the beating rain and chill
ing wind added to the elemental effect.
The cluster of buildings hung together
there, sort of city in the clouds, yet Sc
we're and unmistakable in outline. II
was vision of the ideal enhaloed with
mystery. The dreams of Columbus, the
aspirations Of the pilgrim fathers, the
boundless possibilities Of the American
continent itself-all seemed to have been
crystallized in this mute world of hall
and peristyle, of column and capital. II
stood there one colossal temple Of tenn
pies, awaiting in silence the presence Of
the supernal glory. y.-Review Of Reviews.

THE PENSION QUESTION.
lea Them Ne Given Only to Those Justl
Entitled to Them.

lea Them Ne Given Only TO Those Justly
Entitled to Them.
The Hon. E. Ellery Anderson Of the
Reform club says he is in favor Of "a
Just but vigorous review Of the pension
list and Of such amendments Of the PEN
sion laws as shall confne the payment of
pensions to those justly entitled to them"
He says: "The tone and temper of those
who falsely assume to represent the SOL
diers Of the republic have done much to
lower the esteem and regard heretofore
felt for the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie. Our defenders who risked their
lives, who suffered patiently the torment
Of disease, the loss of limbs and many
priyations of long and arduous campaigns
in order that the union might be pre-
served, are entitled not only to everlast-
ing gratitude and honor, but to substan-
tial provision which shall in some de-
gree protect them from want. But this
honor and this gratitude and this sub
stantial provision must be the voluntary
offering Of our country to our soldiers.
These recognitions of their merits can
not be granted as the result of demand
made and pressed by those who are to
receive them without losing all their sig
nifcance. Services rendered for the love
of country and for the preservation Of
our government cannot be measured in
money, and if those who have rendered
them themselves demand a money equiv
alent and insist upon payment for pa
triotism in dollars and cents over the
counters of the pension Office they will
necessarily produce change in the peo-
ples estimate of their honorable services
similar to that which leads us to lower
our opinion of the value of those blighted
affections which are willing to accept
consolation in the form Of verdict in
an action for breach of promise.
"But the incorporate condemnation OF
those who have counseled careful scru'
tiny of the pension list does not represent
the real sentiment of our soldiers. The
government will receive the full support
of every man who fought and suffered
during our great war because he really
loved his country in all the steps it may
take for the purpose Of striking from the
pension list every unworthy and unde
serving name."

The New York Press is at the head of
a conspiracy to make the people believe
that they are afraid of themselves. The
Press says the loss to the country through
the decline in the value of stocks since
November, 1899, is over $500, ,OO0, 900. 1t
advises all Republican papers to pro-
claim that this is due to the fear of the
country that the wicked Democrats will
keep their pledge and reduce the tariff
to a revenue basis. There would be
more sense in the claim that the decline
was due to fear on the part of the great

this an immense dining-room. The
masculine guests were, with few ex-
ceptions, officers from our own men OF

Threats great deal, curtailed the IRIS
piteously, and danced with much mus

ease of manner peculiar to their Amer
lean fellow officers.
There was first waltz or two, then
the party separated, disappeared, and
reappeared clad in bathing suits. The
guests then moved in procession across 4
the long pier, and the young girls,
clasping their hands above their heads,
leaped into the surf, accompanied by
their escorts. They swan and dived in
the clear water like mermen and naer-
maids. The southern cross rose above
the horizon; palms were outlined in
the moonlight against the clear sky; the
surf dashed its white foam against the
reefs beyond the lagoon; the air was
filed with the fragrance of thousand
flowers; the singing boys sat upon the
pier, and their wild music made a fit
ting accompaniment to one of the
scenes I ever beheld.
