AT THE AQUARIUM.
attest Arrivals to Peer at Visitors from
Iagoons and Glass Cases.

Latest Arrivals TO Peer at Visitors from
Iagoons and Glass Cases.
Surgeons and sword fish too big to
stretch their legs in the aquarium tanks
are the last distinguished arrivals in
the Fisheries building. They were
dumped into the lagoon about the cen
trail fountain. where they are now at
horne to visitors. Some of them are big
enough to eat babies with the ease
of a Gauges crocodile. The other new
Corners are long chaps with tusks for
teeth and cruel looking jaw sand pecul-
lar freaks that both swim and walk,
spelling their weary fms with trip on
stubby legs. Deep sea toads. big enough
to furnish steaks and family roasts, sit
sulllily on the clammy bottoms of the
tanks of brine with strange monsters
for companions. This last collection
makes the aquarium complete. How
ever, the plan is To keep the special
cars constantly in transit to bring new
creatures and more of the old ones
each trip.
The aquarium is not large enough to
accommodate the crowds. The popu-
larity of the exhibit has exceeded ex-
pcctation. 1t is now among the favor

the fair officials permitted - enter.
Finding the turnstiles immovable they
wander off to the sideshows and scatter
their small change among the one horse
vendors of creature comforts who ply
their callings on Sunday as well as any
other day. There are shows of various
kinds in the neighborhood of the fair,
merry o-roundS. roller-coasters and the
like. and these do thriving business
when tn crowds rebound from the
barred entrances of the fair.
The work in the grounds still goes
on on Sunday, and the workmen are
doubtless glad that the people are kept
out one day i'm the week, SO that they
can work undisturbed for few hours
at a stretch. The exhibits are all rapidly
nearing completion and in the course
of few days the noise of the carpenters
will have entirely ceased in most of the
buildings.
The restaurant question is not fully
settled as yet, and the lunch basket is
still a popular institution with the
people. They are bound TO stick it out,
and il things keep on as they are some
of the restaurant keepers are going to
be bankrupted. There has been great
reduction in prices in some of the eat
ing houses. however, and with those
who have made the reduction trade is
getting better. and by the time the
summer crowd commences to pour in
this trouble will be practically settled.
In consequence of the unheard-of
wea tner we have been having there has
been much discomfort among the for
eigners in Midway Plaisanee. 1t does
seem as il the elements had conspired
to show the people of other lands what
a perfectly insupportable climate we

have in this part of the world. For a
few days there was sunshine. Not the
warm and comfortable kind they have
in the sunny clilnes from which many
of them came but weak and watery
imitation of the real thing. This en-
couraged them to venture forth from
the seclusion into which the cold and
rain had driven them. But they would
no sooner get abroad than a cold bank
of clouds would cover mp old SOILS luke
warm visage. and with a shiver and
a shudder they would all put for their
respective quarters. where they would

many deaths among the thinly-clad
people of the Plaisance, so inhospitable
and severe has been the spring season.
Some of the people have been compelled
to return to their native lands on ac-
count of illness and homesickness
brought on by bad weather.
As the season advances the grounds
take on fresh beauties in the region of
the Horticultural building, and the
wooded island in the center of the
lagoon offers increased attractions.
This island is a perfect beauty spot and
is much sought by couples who prefer

peopled walks of the grounds. II is

SIBERIAN EXILE.
IL Is Matter In which Every Humanlta-
rian Ought to Interest Himself.

ran ought To interest himself
A great deal has been said of late
about the treatment of prisoners who
are sent to Siberia. Whether the apa-
thetic condition Of public opinion on
this subject arises from disbelief in the
statements made or whether Russia.
like the proverbial sore-headed bear. is
such an unpleasant adversary to come
into conflict with that people are will
ing TO let her alone, is an open ques-
ton.
The fact. however, stares us in the
face that the treatment of Russian pris.
oners is such that il ought very
soon To attract the attention of
every humanitarian i'm the civilized
world. Here are several hundred per-
sons sent into exile for reasons that no
one seems very well able to under
stand. They are started on the road
in the middle of one of those dread
ful winters which. in the climate
OF Russia. are almost past surviving:
and. on the way overcome by fatigue
and exposure. chained together like
beasts, goaded and tortured by keepers,
more or less cruel and inconsiderate,
often made so by the strictest rules,
under which they dare not show the
commonest sentiments of humanity to
the wretched beings in their charge.
and unable to bear the stress of wealth
er and their frightful journey through
the snow, they fall by the wayside and
are left to perish.
We hear ny spells great deal about
the kindness and the paternal interest
of the Russian government: but the
sort of interest that permits abuses of
this kind has little TO commend il &c
Christian consideration. II would not
he a matter OF surprise If, some day
the civilized nations of the earth rose
in their wrath and swept forever
beyond the reach of restoration the
state of things that makes such buses
possible. There is nothing kind, hui
name or Christian in a government
that infiictS such punishments no mat
ter what the offenSe Hanging is
merciful in comparison, and might be &c
advantage substituted for this barbar.
uus practice of sending helpless and
oftentimes innocent people into such
horrible slavery as the Siberian prison.
bNho IL
caily weak and imperfect; but weak.
ness and imperfection find their per
feet work in government whose laws
make il possible to chain human beings
together-men, women and children
and send them, regardless of the sea
son or their health or comfort, into the
wilds of such land as Siberia.
The exile business should have come
to an end long ago. with other relics OF
barbarism. 1t is custom unworthy
of a civilized people, and one which
should have long since been relegated
to the shades of oblivion. That a gov
eminent processing the intelligence OF
Russia can be guilty of such acts would
be a doubtful statement were there not
the most indisputable evidence to sub
Stantiate the stories. Itwould be well
to lay aside all claim to a position
among civilized nations while such bar
barities are continually practiced. Al
all events, let us near no more about
paternal government and the goodness
of the man who processes to be father
to his people.-N. Y. Ledger

conducted by officers of the board of
lady managers.
Nouniform has yet been decided upon
for the women guides, and it is proba-
BILE that they will not be required to
wear any, owing to the difficulty of
getting more than one woman TO agree
upon what would be proper and becom-
ing.
According to member of the board
of lady managers the women To be en-
ploved must be intelligent, well
dressed, we'll Acknowledgements in
fact-and good-looking. For these ac-
complishments each woman employed
is to get the paltry salary of thirty dol
lars per month. Members of the board
are endeavoring to have this sum in
creased. Failing in that they will try
to influence all the women to decline
such work for such pay.
Lieut. Foote. who has charge of the
corps of exposition guides, has eighty
FIVE on his staff. The corps will be in uni
form. and the stations will be established
with headquarters IN the Service build
ing Stations will be located at the
terminal railway station, the pier, Six
| ticth street entrance, government pier,
west center of Manufactures building,
and other places not vet decided on.
All of these stations will be connected
with the main office in the Service
building and when there is a special
demand for guides at any one station
reinforcements can be sent from the
others.
The rates for services of guides have
been fixed at fifty cents an hour for a
party not to exceed five.
