The Frankfort roundabout., 1893-06-24

reproductions In wax, excepting one,
Ramses II, the oppressor of the
Israelites, and one of Egypt's greatest
monarchs of ancient times. Among
the reproduced mummies were Solo
mons sister in-law and his lather-in-
law.
The religion of Osiris was then
explained to US, and on a chancel
three or four girls gave an exhibition
of the sacred dance to the tune of
music by harps, Tyres, pipes and
drums. In dark room, in which the
walls were highly ornamented by all
kinds of pictures, the hieroglyphics
of the ancient natives, we were shown
fac-simile of tomb of one of the
earliest priests which has recently
been brought to the light of day by
the researches of the Egyptologists
in digging in the sands along the
river Nile. 1t was difficult in large
crowd to hear all that an Egyptian,
who could barely speak the English
language, attempted to tell us, but
think l have correctly related here
that part of the "Street in Cairo'
which 1 saw and heard. There is a
great deal more in the Street to see
and study than my limited hop, skip
er. l am not overdrawing the story
in the least when / say it took me two
days after l left the Street to
disiIlusionize myself in regard to my
stay in u foreign land. To see every
thing in the Midway Plaisance, an
official statement has placed the
amount for each person at $500,
but there are many things included in
the list which the visitor is almost
certain to forego. l would estimate
that six dollars would be very fair
sum to expend on this feature of the
Fair, and for that amount you can
take in the principal foreign scenes,
which. after all, are the really inter
esting attractions to Americans.
Now 8 moment before close.
If you have time and are fond
of military displays, don't fail
to go TO Tattersalls on 10Th and
State street to see picked brigade
Of Great Britain's army perform
their most expert military move
ments.
See the cyclorama the "Battle of
Gettysburg" also go through the
old Libby prison and by no means
fail to take in, at the Auditorium
theatre, America" the greatest
spectacular performance in the
largest and most beautiful theatre of
whicn this part of the country can
boast A seat on the lower floor
costs one dollar and half and on
the main gallery, which is but slight
ly elevated above the stage, one dollar.
The house seats 5000 people and the
stage. during the performance, con-
tains four or five hundred people
besides horses, chariots and other
vehicles.
Summarizing the expense Of q
weeks trip for one person, and plac-
ing the railroad fare at the present
rate, would estimate it as follows:
Railroad fare, including sleeper or chair
car for round trip. ... &.... $3.50
Lodging days ut $l.0O. ....... 100
Boarding, two meals and lunch days
at SLID BUD
II In city proper car fare to and from
grounds days at 20 cents. ..... 10
Gate fe9 days ut so cents .... $50
About catalogues al rs cents " lbs
Lagoon and Intramural rides, about . ,75
Midway Plaisance about . .. 800
Total S47.26
OF course this makes no provision
for any curios or attractions at city
theatres or other numerous modes Of
getting rid Of your money in Chicago.
l returned on a day train on the
Monon road, which has splendid chair
cars with complete kitchen and din.
