1t is impossible to turn in this
''city which sprung up in n night"
without beholding something beau
tiful. Some of the buildings are
marvels Of architecture. but the
Administration Building is my
favorite and almost shed u tear
whenever think OF it being torn
down. Its dome can be seen from
any point on the grounds, | think,
and many time it serves as a
guide. At first | disliked the
transportation Building very much
but l am becoming very much
attached to it and IL pleases me
better every time see il. The only
fault ! find with tho exterior deco
ratlons is the painting of those
Angels every three or four feet
apart. Their dress docs not come
up to my idea of an angels garh at
oil. The Government Building is
the most unsatisfactory of all to me
but naturalist would revel IN the
specimens exhibited by the Smith.

Building next time.
You all know>all about the Cold
Storage catastrophe better than l
can tell you, but | pray you may

the sight of human beings hurling
themselves from dizzy height

The only purely religious Exhi-

Jerusalem upon the occasion of the

bard Court. This is not the same
scene that was on exhibition there
few years ago, but new and very
elaborate one, embodying many
novel features and effects. Indeed
it is claimed TO be next to the great
panorama Of the Chicago Fire, the
most expensive work Of the kind in
the world.
In connection with this supurb
scene. and without extra charge, is
shown the celebrated painting,
"Christ Triumphal Entry Into
Jerusalem" valued at $4,000.
To those wishing TO get q better
idea Of Ancient Jerusalem and sur
rounding country, the architecture,
customs and habits Of tho people OF
those days, together with perhaps
tho finest modern conception Of the
scene Of the Crucifixlon, will here
