GUIDES AS INTERPRETERS.
A Corps of Men at jackson Pa k Who
Can Talk Half a Dozen Languages.

"A SOFpS OF Nen at jackson Ia X who
Can Talk Half a Dozen Languages.
Guides that can talk half a dozen
languages-such is the latest acquisi-
ton to Capt. Rice's staff on the worlds
fair grounds. While the corps is not
gotten up strictly as an interpreters
corps, it is practically such.
Company No. 25 is the one these lin
gusts belong to. and it is under the
command of Capt. Foote. 1t is drilled
in the same name as the Columbian
guard, but it does not draw the same
salary. Each mans remuneration is
thirty dollars per month.
The company will, when completed,
consist of two hundred and fifty men.
At present it contains about eighty,
but is in the formative process as yet.
The personnel is to be one of great in
telligence. Most of the men are from
colleges and universities of the coun-
try, but many are from foreign coun-
tries and speak readily five or six Ian
guages. Most of the men speak more
than n language, and those that
speak English, German and French, the
languages with which one can get
along anywhere on the globe almost,
are numerous.
This corps of guides must not be con-
founded with the roller-chair men.
The latter are under the control of con-
cessionaires, while the guides are under
the control of the exposition manage
ment through Capt. Rice. commandant
of the Columbian guard. They will be
stationed at different buildings in the
grounds, and from there they will be
ready to do service for such as need
them. The price is to be fifty cents an
hour for parties of five OF less, so that
a party may have the services of an in
telligent guide, speaking their tongue.
at ten cents apiece, in case there be five
in the party.
The corps is to be uniformed differ
emily from the Columbian guard. The
uniform is to be of cadet gray, and will
be trimmed with black braid. The cap
is to be of blue, and the buttons are of
a kind known technically as blind"
buttons. The men are not uniformed
as yet, and every morning as they drill
on the administration court visitors
wonder what body of soldiers they are.

RUSSIANS INTERESTED.
United States Minister White Writes of
His Observations in That Country.

United States Minister White Writes Of
His Observations in That Country.
The following interesting extract is
taken from a recent letter from Andrew
d. White, United States minister at
ST. Petersburg:
The interest taken by leading Rus
slams in the Columbian exposition,
strong as it has been from the first,
seems rather to increase. Not only
have the emperor and empress and the
heir to the throne expressed themselves
to me as greatly interested, but in all
classes of Russian society with which l
have to do the same feeling is very
clear.
There is evidently a feeling hat the
two nations are under somewhat SIM
liar economic conditions, each being
vast in extent, with enormous unde-
veloped resources, and, that our country
having taken the lead in all that per-
tains to material development, to say
nothing of leadership in other fields.
both the exposition and the country at
large are the most fitting places for the
study of the leading facts. The result
of this feeling is that a considerable
number of Russians are making ready
to visit Chicago, and. what is still more
to the purpose, the government is send
ing a large number of it's foremost ex-
perts in various departments for the
study of the exhibits at Chicago, and
for examination into the various insti-
buttons throughout the United States.
A recent publication gives the names
OF some forty such special delegates,
among them prominent professors in
the universities and leading officials in
the MINISTRIES. Several of these are
also representatives of people in the
highest political and social positions.
Typical of these are such as the young
Prince Sergfus W~olkonsky, who belongs
to one of the most distinguished fam
lilies in the empire, and who has already
distinguished himself as an official and
writer; and Princess Schahooskoy,
who, distinguished by the development
OF establishments for woman's work on
her estates, is sent especially to take
charge of the Russian exhibit of such
work at Chicago. She, too, belongs to
one of the most noted families in the
empire, and is one of the empress
maids of honor"

the mingling of the many strange
costumes. The dark-skinned citizen of
Cairo with his white turban and sky
blue gown jostles the still darker
skinned gentleman from Java with his
calico pants and nondescript headgear,

Sheep from Persia

A novel exhibit has been arranged
for by c. P. Bailey, of California, with
Chief Buchanan, of the Agricultural de-
partment. Less than a year q the
Persian government rendered to Sec
rotary Rusk, of the department of ag-
%riculture at Washington, a small flock
of Persian sheep to be placed upon
some breeding farm in the United
States n order to test their adaptability
to American climate and conditions.
Mr.. Rusk accepted the offer, and. after
considerable correspondence, rendered
the entire collection to Mr.. Bailey. The
original flock consisted of thirteen
sheep, which is now considerably in
creased. Not one has died since leav-
ing Turkey. The popularity of the
Persian sheep is that during the spring
and summer season it accumulates a
very large amount of fat in it's tail, the
tail reaching a weight of twenty-five to
fifty pounds. During the winter or dry
season it hibernates much like a bear,
and consumes the fat thus stored up.
For this reason it is thought the breed
will thrive in the arid regions of the
west. Mr.. Bailey will bring six of the
finest sheep and exhibit them in the
livestock section of the exposition in
September.

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
Concert for the Benefit of the

Babies Home.
The babies home benefit at Music
hall last night was very pleasant at
fair. Phillip Ray, the celebrated Eng

his most amusing presentations. The
evening at Mrs. Kensngton Cores chill
dren party, IN which little Tommy Gore
entertainS the company, was one. and
the pantomine showing the process a
lover of singing must go through to
persuade bashful young girl to sing
was another of his mirth-prOYoking
numbers. The changes that wig and
facial contortion make in a mans ap-
pearance were never better shown than
by Mr.. Ray last night. Wilbert E..
Lewis is a charming pianist. His
technique is perfect, style good and
selections sympathetic.
Miss Jean Wilson is charming reci-
tationiSt. She not only acts the char
acters she represents, but is them for
the time being. She is exceedingly
graceful and easy in her manner, her
voice sweet and well under control. All
her selections were good and fresh. BY
reqest she gave that masterpiece of de-
scriptive writing from Ben Hur. The
Chariot Race" and gave it magnificent
ly. The programme was so we'll re-
ceived that eacE performer was heartily
enchored, to which they sevtrally re-

two as the fifth man hastily retreated,

The Alleged Pension Swindler Not
to Be Fouud.
Alfred l.. Keevil, of Saltwater, alleged
to be guilty Of pension frauds, has ap-
parenty skipped the city, where his op-
erations have been carried on. A spe-
cial pension officer went over TO Still
water yesterday to find him. KeeviPs
swindling is said to extend over a
long period, and was only blocked
by the adiutant general having his sus-
picions aroused. 1t is said he has worked
many old veterans and other people as
we'll tor various sums of money. on the
allegation that he could secure their
pensions.
The following telegram from the
GLOBE correspondent at Saltwater
would seem to show he has fled the
state rather than face the music:
