Mountain climbing parties returning
from Mount Tacoma report smoke and
steam bolchinS from the foot of tho Ms
qually glacier, which is ono of tho lar
gcst glaciers in the world and one of tho
largest Oh Mount Tacoma The face of
tho glacier is over 100 feet high and 200
feet wide. From under it tho Nisqually
river has its source.
Never before has steam or smoke been
seen issuing from under glacier, and
tho campers III tho mountains are much
concerned by this unhcard Of and phc-
nomcnal sight. Thomas +. Pringle,
Miss Maud Longmirc, Miss May Garyin
and others who attempted to investigate
tho cause Of tho smoke report sui
plluric gas arising from tho side of the
glacier where the smoke and steam
issue.
James Longnirc, n pioneer mountain
ccr, who makes his homo in the noun
tains ut Longmirc Springs, believes tho
smoke issues from tho depths Of the
earth. He says there have been strange
things happening in the mountains for
several months and predicts an eruption
III the near future. On one occasion,
Mr.. Longmlrc says, there was IA great
avalanche, accompanied by suhtcrra-
mean slump Of rocks, that shook the
mountain and ratified dishes and win

Peachtree street is decorated by a troll
ley, which turns off at the right after
the fine houses are passed, and heads
down a broad highway to Piedmont
park. 1t is the only means of reaching
the exposition grounds at present, but
l am told there will be half a dozen
street car lines to the gates before Sep
TENDER, and the Southern railway,
whose tracks pass the grounds, expect
TO furnish all the transportation needed
for a scent fare. Piedmont park was an
old fair ground and race track, and
there was an exposition there also in
1855, which Mr.. Kimball managed, and
which President Cleveland opened with
some ceremony. 1t is pit, or a pocket,
in the hills, but the steep bluffs are
being shoveled away and graded down
by a lot of convicts, who wear flannel
suits of wide black and white stripes.
and have their legs chained together
SO that they cannot run away. With
every gang Of labore:s is a dissipated-
looking guard, carrying rife as an
inducement for them to behave them

The bottom of the amphitheater is
being eXcavated for a lake of thirty
acres. winding around among the build
ings in serpentine fashion. 1t will be
covered with electric launches and gon-
dolas-the same as in Chicago during
the fair. There are to be eleven great
buildings TO shelter the classified exhib-
ii. and although none of them will
compare in size with the chicago sa-uc-
lures, they would have been considered
very large four years ago The manu-
features building is PIG by $40 feet. and
the transportation building l26 by 4lS,
and the art gallery loo by Pas. The wom-

| rule, more willing to give attention to
details than men and upon such atten-
| ton the success Of large apartment
| buildings depends. In her work Miss
| Fppstein is quite unrestricted The col
Letting. advertising, hiring and dis
charging help. and the bookkeeping are
all her care and yet she is as enthus-
iastiC and huoyant as IL she had not
a responsibility in the world.
II Is not common for man 20 occupy
two or three positions OF responsibility
at one time. For woman TO discharge
the duties OF three demanding positions
is so unusual that Miss Emma S Blood,
who is business manager. secretary,
and treasurer Of the Central Music
Han company, is solitary among
women in Chicago in filing three such
positions of trust Miss Blood comes
from old New ENGLAND stock and from
revolutionary ancestry.
The position of paying cashier in a
big wholesale grocery house in Chicago
is no sinecure and the salary paid for
the work is commensurate with the
labor demanded. For six years Miss
Mabel BabcoCk has been the paying
cashier of the wholesale grocery house
Of Franklin MacNeagh 4 Co.. doing eX-
actly the same work and receiving pre-
Ciscly the same salary which the man
who preceded her received. Miss Bab-
cock Is a college graduate and although
an able husiness-woman is interested
in many things besides cash, She is
given two vacations year and man
ages. in addition 20 doing the work
which her position requires. to conduct
m orange farm in Florida and
chicken farm near Kenilworth She
also is member OF the Woman's club
and is frequently present at the meet
ings and the lectures given in connec-
ton with It,
II is an interesting fact in connection
with women who receive big salaries
that most Of them live frugally and are
each year making investments which
with scarcely an exception are proving
fortunate. and In this way they are
waxing anluent and independent, and
vet although in many cases not Inn
pelled by necessity they hold faithfully
10 their positions.
