A little of something from Fall the
worlds four corners seems to be gath
cred into the worlds fair corners, and
with SO many strange people, new
buildings, strange customs and curiosi-
ties, it would be wonder if unusual
events did not succeed each other with
great rapidity. The three quaint cara
wells, the Santa Maria, the Pinta and
Nina, exact reproductions SO far as pos
sible of the veritable ships in which
Columbus brought his crew to America
four hundred years ago, have sailed up
to Chicago from Spain, the gift of that
government to our own: thousands of
singers from the musical societies of
the large western cities have gathered
in Chicago for a festival week and sung
some of the choice works of the masters
of music; France has celebrated the
taking of the bastile with great energy,
as is its annual custom; Machinery hall
tower has been struck by lightning,
but escaped further injury; the Viking
ship and it's Danish crew have been
welcomed with great firing of guns and
waving of banners; and so the busy
days go on, each with its special Incl
dent or excitement.

PEOPLE WHO EAT.

Outdoor Dinner Parties Popular Among
Worlds Fair Visitors.
Dining in the open air is one OF the
enjoyments Of the fair. Never before
has anyone seen SO many people eat
ing in open hooks and corners as may
be seen almost any day. except Sum
day, Mt the great exposition. The
weather just now Is peculiarly agreea-
BILE for this sort of gastrononlio enter
tainment. There is usually a cool. re-
freshing breeze from the lake which
seems to act on the system as q tonic
and ''appetizer," like a cocktail or .
glass of sherry before dinner.
The visitors who bring their lunches
are legion, and they seem to be eating
, at all hours and in every imaginable
spot where seats can be found. They
are nearly always in family groups,
obliviouS to their surroundings. and
fully bent or taking solid comfort.
They carry their lunch, as a rule, in
boxes or cheap wooden baskets. which
can be discarded when the contents have
been swallowed.
The live stock pavilion, with its
great amphitheater of shady seats, now
that it is not occupied, furnishes a most
desirable lunching spot for visitors
from the country. Over along the lake
shore. wherever benches or boxes are
found to sit upon, many lunch parties
are always to be seen. The terraces at the
tops of buildings, the porches and veran-
das of state buildings. the shady corners
under the peristyle, and above all the
green spots on the wooded island. offer
special attractions to the picnic parties.
The scenes at these places between
twelve and two o'clock are most di-
| verting and sometimes quite amusing.

several of the greater events are often
crowded into one day. For instance,
last Saturday, September 9, the Grand
Army of the Republic held grand
meeting in the fair grounds at the same
time the Californians were holding
high carnival at their state building.
Another momentous event occurred on
the same day, namely, the dedication of
the new Liberty bell, which had just
. arrived from it's birthplace at Troy, N.
Y, where it was made to the order of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
The grand army men and the Californ-
ians took an active part in the dedica-
ton of the new bell and the three even is
were combined, making of the day one
of the most memorable periods of the
worlds fair season.
The bell is one of the finest castings
ever made. Not a flaw is in the metal.
1t is composed of curious compound
of precious and base metals. More
than ten thousand dollars worth of
old gold and silver ornaments, coins
and jewelry We're contributed by the
patriotic members of the order. An
old cent which was worth one hundred
dollars from its historical association
was contributed. The tone is very
sweet because of the quality of the
casting and the metal 1t weighs six
aud half tons-thirteen Thousand

A Model Manager.

A more graceful, gracious and able
presiding officer than Mrs. Potter
Palmer can hardly be imagined.
Beautiful and always faultlessly
dressed in pretty summer gowns which
fit her charming little figure to perfec-
ton, Mrs. Palmer stands at the long
table in the board room of the lady
managers of the worlds fair, welding
her little mallet with judgment and
tact All sorts Of unpleasant elements
are to be met in the little company.
One state thinks itself sighted in the
general distribution of jurors of award;
another complains that her schemes
are not followed: third asserts that
she has been naliciously treated. and 4
fourth wishes passes fer her family to
the third and fourth generation. But
Mrs. Palmer's mental endowment is
fully equal to her physical gifts, and
she keenly foresees and averts con-
troversy. She told a belligerent mem
Der, who lately insisted ON examining
the secretary's minutes, that mo bust
ness will be transacted until members
are seated and thus she ingeniousIy

shoals and quicksan ds. It is Il fine les

man who sits by, and who is said to
have been her teacher in these matters,

pounds. Although 1t is one OF the
largest bells of the world, it does not
approach in size that of the enormous
bell at Moscow. which weighs twenty
five thousand pounds.
The bell is six feet high and eight
feet in circumference at the mouth. 1t
has a bright luster of a brassy nature.
There are three inscriptions on it, one
at the top ridge, another in the center
and one at the lower edge. The upper
one reads: GLORY to God in the high
est; on earth good will toward men. -
The central inscription is: "A new
command I give unto We, that We love
one another The lower is: ''Proclai1n
liberty throughout the land and unto
the Inhabitants thereof"
This Columbian liberty and peace
bell is attracting world wide notice,
and it is indeed :, worthy successor of
the old clarion of independence: but it
is not nor never will be regarded with
the same reverence that is lavished on
the decrepit veteran that rung defiance
to the forces of Great Britain, when
this great nation was but a puny COM
lnonwealth taking its first lessons in
self-government on the shores of the
Atlantic.

bell were very impressive and inspiring.

At the present writing there is in ses-
sion ut the fair the grea test assem- blage
of religious leaders the world has ever
seen, representative opponents Of every
religious creed under the sun. This
meeting is certainly a most extraor-
binary affair. and it is undoubtedly
of great import among the religions of
the world. During the sessions of this
leaders of moral and religious teach
ings ventilate their respective views
and compare notes on the means of
bringing the people of all lands to a
higher state OF morality and intellectu-
atty. To behold the determination of
teachers of men widely divergent in
their tenetS and views is in truth a
marvel for the age to contemplate with
the most earnest communication.
The celebrations among the various
state buildings are still attracting
immense crowds. During the last few
days New York, Kansas and Maryland
as well as California have kept open
house to the world, and in each in

committee of the board of directors
of the worlds fair has been appointed
to take charge of a great exposition
banquet to be given to the foreign
commissioners, President Cleveland and
cabinet, the governors of the states
and great dignitaries of the world, Oc-
tober 10 or 12. The intention is to dis
lance anything heretofore attempted
in America, aid the plans are upon a
scale in keeping with the country, the
fair and Chicago. Expenses are not to
be thought of until after the event is
over. The guests are to number five OR
six hundred. For banquet hall tho
present intention is to use the Audi
forum, Central Music hall, or some
large theater. A great floor is to be
constructed and the decorations are to
be unlimited. Sweet music is to come
from hidden MINISTRIES while the wines
ofsthe Orient are used to pledge the
future of the Occident. The purest of
oratory is to flow along with the rarest
of champagne as the greatness of the
fair and the good will of all nations to
Chicago is told in song and story. At
present artists are working on the
elaborate invitation cards. If Chicago
men can do anything great the EXPOSE
ton banquet will be greater than any
other yet MISUNDERSTANDING Tribune.
