THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Few Points About Chicago
and How to Reach the Great
Western Metropolis.

AS great many readers of the GOLD
LEAF will make their first visit to Chicago
and the great Worlds Fair during the
next few months, few pointers rega riding
the geography of the city and how to reach
it in the shortest possible time over the
best and cheapest route, as we'll as the
most pleasant and picturesque as regards
the excellence of the train service and
beauty Of the natural scenery, will be ap-
preciated at this time.
In the first place. fix firmly in your mind
the fact that Lake Michigan forms the
eastern boundary of the entire city, and if
you stand facing the lake with both arms
OutStretched the left hand will point to
the North Pole and the right hand will
point straight down the tracks OF the Big
Four route to the Worlds Fair buildings
situated at the southern end of the. city
key to the entire situation. Reaching Chi
cagO on trains of the Big Four route, which
is the only railroad having an entrance on
the southern side along the lake front,
where all the hotels and boarding houses
practically through the Exposition Grounds
and magnificent panoramic view of the
fair is obtained.
At the Worlds Fair station of tho Big
Four route, if you step off on the right side,
you are at the entrance gate to the Expo:
ssn ffd stee 9 9ha the s;5 Fair at
will find yourself in the finest residence
portion Of Chicago, and right in the midst
of the Worlds Fair hotel and boarding
house district. The chances are ten to one
you will be within few minutes walk
OF the very place you have selected for
your headquarters.
II you prefer to go down. town ten: min
utes' ride will bring you to the Twelfth
Street station in the heart of the city.
Now bear In mind the manifest advantage
or entering Chicago on the Big Four route.
In the first place you avoid entirely the
bother and trouble OF q tedious transfer
across the city, which is necessary via all
other lines. being landed directly at the
Exposition Grounds, an advantage offered
by no other line, and in the second place
you can SO fix the geography of the city in
your mind that you will at once become as
familiar with Chicago as you are with
your own town.
Another point in favor of the Big Four
route is found in the fact that if you enter
Cincinnati on the Queen & Crescent route,
Louisville & Nashville Railroad, Ken
tncky Central Railway, Chesapeake &
Ohio Railway or Baltimore & Ohio South
western Railroad, connection is made in
Union Depot, avoiding the disagreeable
transfer necessary via all other lines. For

Gentleness.

Gentleness is that quiet influence
which, like the scented fame of an
alabaster lamp, fills many home
with light and warmth and fragrance
altogether. 1t is the carpet, soft and
deep, which, while it diffuses look of
ample comfort, deadens many creak
ing sound. 1t is the curtain, which
from many beloved form wards off
at once the summers glow and the
winters wind. 1t is the pillow on
which sickness lays its head and for
gets half its misery, and to which
death comes in a balmier dream.

her own way. She was singing it to

So struck was he by the weird effect OF
this voice, singing in the midst of the

sweeter grew the voice until presently
one of those in the choir nearest caught

ANOTHER BANK FAILURE
A Leading Institution of Wilkesbarrs
Closes Its Doors.

WILKEsBAgRR, Pa, Feb. 9.-The In
diyidual banking house of f. V. Rocka-
fellow & Co., closed its doors yesterday.
1t was one of the oldest banking institu-
tions in this section and people had utmost
confidence in its soundness. Great excite
ment prevails here among business men
over the affair Mr. Rockafellow is con-
tident of resuming.
The failure was caused by draft from
Philadelphia deposited by the Wyoming
National bank Of this city for some $1,000
against Roekafellow s. Co The draft was
dishonored, and the bank closed its doors
at once. Early in the morning. it is said,
mortgage WAS entered up against +. V.
Rockafellow in favor of Thomas A. Ather-
ton, of this city, for $40, 600 to secure the
Peoples and the Second National banks
for money due from L. V. Rockafellow &
Co. The mortgage is on his residence on
north River street, which is worth many
thousands of dollars. Aside from Mr.
Rockafellow's interest in the bank this
represents the only available assets.
Among the hundreds OF depostors arc
many OF the leading business men of the
town and several hundred poor people,
whose savings for years are in the broken
bank. Upon these the loss will fall with
crushing weight The heaviest depositors,
however, express confidence that the bank
will eventually weather the storm, but
among the smaller patrons, many of whom
have lost by former failures, this conf
dence is entirely absent.
Mr. Rockafellow is the treasurer of this
city, and ihe amount of city deposits in his
hands when the bank closed was S5l 900.
His bonasm"n are held liable to the
amount of $1,000. The amount of de-
posits the bank carried are said to be
nearly 5000 900.

A PRETTY PRESENTATION,
Popular Testimonial to Messrs. Harri-
son, Blaine and Tracy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-There was an In
teitsting scene at the Whits House yester-
day afternoon. George w. Turner, pub
Usher of the New York Recorder, presented
to President Harrison and Secretary Tracy
two silver statuettes representing Riggin,
the sailor of the United States steamer
Baltimore, the killing of whom in the
streets of Valparaiso led to the trouble
with Chile little more than a year ago
Soon after the close of the Chilean incident
the New York Recorder opened popular
dime subscription, the proceeds of which
were to be devoted to the molding of three
statucttes to be presented, one each, to
President Harrison, Secretary Tracy and
Secretary Blaine.
There were over 5000 subscribers, and
the dimes thus collected We're nodded
into the statuettes which were presented
yesterday No other figures of equal size
were ever cast in solid silver and the work
for that reason was long delayed. On ac-
count OF the death of Mr.. Blaine the pre-
sentation was private, nobody being pres
ent except the president, Secretary Tracy,
Postmaster General Wanamaker, Private
Secretary Halford, General Sewell, of New
Jersey, and Mr.. Turner and Mr.. w II.
Stayton, of New York. Mr.. Turner made
a short speech in presenting the statuettes,
which was responded to by the recipients
of the gifts The statuette which was in
tended for Mr.. Blaine will be presented to
his family.
