pRilMMEBsy DAY.

The Worlds fair committee on cere-
monies has assigned June 10 as the
fete day Of the Commercial Travel
ers' Protective association. The pro-
gramme will be a very elaborate one
and will include the attendance of at
least 5000 travelling men from almost
every state in the Union. The annual
convention will be held at Peoria, Ills,
on June 6, and s, and on the 9th the
delegates and members will adjourn to
Chicago, special trains being chartered
for the purpose. The Peoria people are
raising 5000 for the entertainment of
the travelling men.
There will be parades and other festiv-
tiles at Peoria, and at Chicago there will
be a mammoth parade. The ssboys" will
be in 20 state divisions, each division
headed by first class band, and other
steps will be taken to make the parade
one of the biggest events of the season and
of the fair. Special trains will be on hand
to take the travelling men out to jackson
park, where there will be another parade
and ceremonies of a very unique char
acter. Six orators of national reputation
will deliver addresses, and the governors
of 10 states will also occupy positions on
the platform.

ONE DAY AT JACKSON. PARK.
Preliminary sus ey Which Gives the
Reader an idea of the Scope of
the Fair and How
to See 1T.

Now that we are in Chicago and
about to visit the Worlds fair grounds
the question arises, How shall we go?
There are dozen ways of going, but we
want to take the quickest way. We are
near the Illinois Central station, so let's
go over and catch train. They run
one every two minutes ON special track
to the fair grounds, end besides the SUBJ
urban trains take lots of visitors out
There are several roads running to the
grounds, among them the Baltimore and
Ohio, the Northern Pacific, the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern and the
Pennsylvania systems.
Then there are the cable lines and the
elevated road, which latter has stations
at Sixty-third street and on the roof of
the Transportation annex. The cable
lines run on Wabash avenue and State
street. You can catch car at any time
ON either of those streets up town. Will
the roads be able to handle all the pas
senger trafic2 That question has been
asked thousands Of times, and there is
only one answer--that is 'sYese" At the
terminal station alone there are 35 stand
,ing tracks for arriving and departing
tia, which make facilities for the re-
ception of 100000 people every hour.
The cable lines can handle $4,000, aud
the elevated road 10000, not to mention
the 10000 or 10000 who can be taken
care of by the steamship lines, nor the

WORLDS CONGRESSES.

While the Columbian exposition at
jackson park is designed to stimulate
and satisfy the material wants of man
kind, a series of more than 100 moral
and intellectual expositions, Or conven-
tions, have been arranged for this sum
mer in Chicago. The avowed object Of
the Worlds Congress auxiliary in organ
izing these international congresses is to
establish fraternal relations among the
leaders Of mankind, review the progress
already achieved, state the living prob
le1ns now awaiting solution and suggest
the means of further progress.
In other yords, the spirit of what Is
called university extension is the spirit
Of this International congress scheme.
The familiar notices under which it is
being advanced are, mot things, but
men," and Not matter, but mind. /"
Tomake the proceedings Of the various
congresses as worthy of a worldwide
publication as possible, to reduce as far
as practicable the expense of such pubh-
cation, to prevent repetitions of matter
and duplicate assignments Of speakers.
to secure such a strength and force of
treatment as will insure the widest read
ing, and to secure a just representation
of all the participating countries, the
themes to be presented in the various
congresses will be selected with view
to make complete and orderly treat
ment of the general subject embraced in
the department. The programmes of
the different departments and divisions
will be carefully compared, and all pa

immense number who will come by the
Illinois Central. These figures of course
apply in the case of an occasional rush,
such as is likely to occur on the Fourth
of July or on Illinois day. In these
emergencies the transportation facilities
are equal to the task of accommodating
at least 1000, 900 people.
Glimpse of Midway P1aisance.
Here we are at Midway plaisance.
This is about as good a place to disem-
bark as any, and it is one of the features
of the fair besides. The entrance is on
Cottage Grove avenue, on which street
the cable lines run; Washington park is
just beyond. Midway plaisance is near
ly mile in length. AS we enter the
grounds the first structure that greets
our eyes is the Women's building. This
is headquarters for the women of the
world, and visit to it will teach us
much about the advancement of the sex
in this day and age.
Before we go any farther you may
as well know that one admission fee en-
titles you to see everything within the
grounds except the Eskimo village and
the Cliff Dwellers' pavilion. All this talk
you have heard about there being extra
charges at every turn is nonsense. All
the private exhibits are outside the

the captive balloon and in close prox-
unity to the Chinese village. The Celes-
tials have theater here, which we must
'take in" some time. This is the Moroc-
co national exhibit, and here is the pano-
rama of the volcano Kilauea.
This represents street in Cairo, and
here is the German village, made up of
houses of medieval times partly, the
modern buildings being representative
of different parts of the empire. Now
comes the other half of the Dutch village,
beyond which are the japanese bazaar
and the glass works.
This is tt : end of our rather swift tour
of the Worlds fair. Of course we have
had but a superficial look at the greatest
exposition the world ever conceived. To
study it thoroughly means work OF
months, even if one give his attention
only to those things that interest him
most. But we have been through the
fair and hare seen it in way. Now, if
you have time to study and enjoy it, you
know how to go about it Systematically
from the survey You have made. This
preliminary survey is advisable even if
you have plenty of time to spend, for it
will save you more than little annoy
ance and confusion in your after studies
of the Worlds fair.

terlng contract estimates that his COM
pany viii be called upon to feed an aver
age of $4,000 people a day. To do this
will require tables seating $4,000 and
lunch counters for 4, 900 more. Assuming
i've changes to each seat, these will suf-
fee for the big crowd. It is no small
matter to guess about, but the estimates
do not stop there. Mr., Gage has placed
few orders for material to keep the di-
gestive organs of his host of guests in
good order. He has made a contract for
200 tons of coffee in the belief that 1O,-
900 cups of that beverage will be de-
manded, and 10000 cups and saucers in
order that it may be distributed impair
TALLY. For every day that the fair is
open he will require 10000 pounds Of
dressed beef from a stock yards firm
and 81 tons of ham for his sandwiches,
to say nothing of 60 barrels of flour for
the bakery establishment and other
things in proportion.
While there will be any number of
restaurants on the ground operated by
other companies and individuals, from
the Casino to the Midway plaisance,
the Wellington Catering company viii
have the biggest share in the feeding Of
the multitude. The amount of space
allotted to the company is 1882
square feet, distributed among the 16
main buildings. In addition a piece of
ground has been secured, north Of
sixty-seventh street, aasa5 feet long by 1s5
deep, upon which a 2-story building will
serve as a supply house and kitchen.
There seems to have been q wrong i'm
preston conveyed to the outside public
concerning the North and West Sides of
the city. It will be an easy matter after
getting to Chicago to get out to thee
Worlds fair grounds, and it is not neces-
sary to live IN the Immediate vicinity in
order to see the fair comfortably. Elec-
trio cross town lines are nearly ready
for operation on Sixty third, Forty
seventh and Thirty-fifth streets. These
will make rapid and easy means Of get
ting from the West Side over to the,
grounds. On the North Side there are
number of cable lines by which the Wis
itors can come down town in the morn
ing and then take any one Of the many
routes to the grounds. There is but lit
tie advantage in living on the South Side,
and visitors will do well to dispense
with the idea that they can be comforta-
bly, located only on that side of the city.
Visitors can secure rooms on the West
Side or North Side at much cheaper
rate than is demanded for South Side
apartments.
After all, the mere cost Of living in
Chicago is but an unimportant item in
the expenses of visit to the fair Now
that the fear of being unable to secure
comfortable accommod odations has been
dissipated, the prospective visitor may
proceed with his calculations with the
element of worry eliminated. The eco
nomical tourist will find that it costs no
more to visit Chicago during the fair
than it would at any other time, but
the visitor who is disposed to enjoy the
good things of life will find plenty Of
snares laid for his pocketbook. His ex-
penditures Tor amusements and Injuries
may only be limited by his desires or his
financial ability.

Ample Accommodations For All Corners.
An Estimate of the Cost of Living
In Chicago Pointers For
Prospective Visitors.

It looks now as If the landlords would
need the sympathy rather than their
guests during the Worlds fair. One of
the Chicago papers has been gathering
statistics and announces that 2S8 new
buildings have been erected in the vicin-
ity of jackson park, which contain 33,
945 rooms. This of course is exclusive
of the old hotels and boarding houses
and of the furnished rooms. which are
available for transient use during the
months of the fair. Doubtless there are
80, 900 rooms available for strangers near
the grounds. There will be no reason
for people to sleep ON the ground, or even
on hotel cots, provided they have money
enough to procure lodgings, and the in
d1cations are that the amount required
to secure such accommodation will not
be exorbitant. Competition will force a
reasonable scale.
Tabulated by their capacity to accora-
modate guests, the Worlds fair hotels
make up this list:

THE appointment of Prof James Mitchell to be postmaster at Little Rock meets with the hearty ap- proval of ninetenths of the citizens of Little Rock and nineteen twenti- eths of the people of the state. Prof Mitehelfs qualifications are un- questioned, and it is not going too far to say that no man whom Mir Cleveland might have chosen would give more character to the place or greater efficiency to the service. In honoring Prof. Mitchell, President Cleveland has honored the press and all the newspaper men of the State should be proud of the dis tinction conferred upon worthy fellow journalist.

No Wall Street Domination.

A syndicate letter from Washing
 ton, reviewing the attitude of the
 administration toward Wall street,
 declares that it has proven itself to
 be the master, not the servant, of
 Wall street, and the government
 still lives, and the treasury contin-
 ues and will continue to pay out
 gold to all who may desire it for
 treasury notes. A greater financial
 triumph was never achieved by any administration It marks the be-
 gining of new era, in which the
 president of the United States and
 his cabinet will dictate our nation al financial policy, instead of having it done from Wall street, as it has
 been done already too long for the good of the country. The Wall street crowd invited the knock down blow they received Seeing that the bankers all over the country were following the lead of those of the South and West in furnishing the treasury with gold the Wall streeters got together and formu- lated Q proposition in which they agreed to furnish the treasury with from $3O.000.000 to $50,000,000 in gold, but the proposition had a string tied to it in the shape of pro viso that bonds should be issued for their gold. Other bankers turned their gold into the treasury without question, because of their confidence in the government, which they thought in need of the gold to tide over a temporary difficulty, but the Wall street shylocks wanted their pound of flesh in shape of interest on the bonds to be issued before they would turn loose the gold ly ing idle in their vaults. 1t did not take President Cleveland and the cabinet three minutes to formulate an indignant refusal, which was wired to New York. Later anoth CT proposition, less exacting, was received, but it also was promptly It must by this time be evident to even the most obtuse ob- server that the financial motto of this administration is, No Wall street domination"
