1ayed, especially the Midway plaisance. They had all heard of that The very few of their class who had got to Chica- go could tell them but little of the won derful foreign displays and nothing at all about the still more wonderful Art hall and its 1000 pictures and statues, but they could tell all about Cairo street and the Algerian dance, and the Ger man village, and the ostriches and In dians and wild Dahomeyans and con gress of pretty women. So the ruralists rushed to the plaisance to encounter sour looks, hear strange oaths in nine Ian suages and see confusion.
 The Mexican amphitheater they found empty and unfinished, but the conces- sionnaire still swears he will have bull fight or big damages. Where they look ed for graceful houris of the orient in voluptuous pose they found grimy work men hammering and painting, and in the bazaar negress, who looked as if she might weigh 260 pounds, sewing on the last decorations. As spectator put t, "They went to see Fatima and found fat Amy. And so on around most of that section, which is but now really ready for visitors. Of course they swore and received as good as they gave, each party fortunately ignorant of the others full meaning. Such phrases as ''sa- pristi, "caraha, "sacrr-e, 'gott- vertamn" and "kellur-r bismillah" flew about with reckless vigor and were pleasantly varied at intervals by a good, healthy Georgian "damnr' In the end the ruralists were all the better for it, as they put in their time looking at better things and gained impressions to last them for life. In the Government build ing they saw an exhibit worth crossing the continent to see. In the California building they found an array of fruits, flowers and woods which amazed even the best informed. In machinery, trans portation and electricity they were equally charmed and instructed, but in the Art hall they gave but a passing glance, as rule. It is "caviare to the general.
 Ten days before the opening it was evident that the population of Atlanta was increasing. Exhibitors and visitors came in increasing numbers, fakirs and cheap Johns of all varieties set up on the vacant lots, the popular evening re- sorts were thronged, and the principal streets were crowded like lower Broad way. A little later visitors seemed in no hurry for the exposition grounds, but looked at Atlanta and its surroundings And they saw great deal. Not only is this vicinity most agreeably diversified with hill and dale, park and native woodland, as Chicago is not, but his torically it is as far ahead of that city in interest as Quebec is ahead of Omaha. The great crowd from the Grand Army encampment at Louisville and the dedication of Chickamauga park went chiefly to the battlefields, which are all easy of access. The longest ride, but delightful one by the frequent ex-

 and about 200 men, and on the day the main part of them arrived Atlanta was almost as much excited as if the celestial emperor himself had come It would be worth $l to hear my vigorous friend Geary, author of the exclusion act, ex- press himself concerning this trick.
 It was wonderful sight when the customs inspectors got their books ready and the foreigners began to unpack. Four hundred and forty>five big boxes and packing cases in one day were dis charged into the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building Venetian glass ware, Italian statuary, hand carved fur niture, ourios of almost endless variety and 200 sorts of Milanese specialties, 50 kinds of silk and as many varied mix lures of silk, wool and linen, and the long lines of articles classed by Mrs Paul Potiphar as "bigotry and virtue "
 On the same day several of the state and minor buildings had not an ar- ticle, in place, and all around the grounds the big "Trilbys" and graces, cupids and fauns, with For tuna, Columbia, Dea GeorgiB and all the Greek goddesses in metal which were to ornament the high fronts, still lay in the dirt in most ungoddess- like attitudes. It is really wonderful that so much was done ill time. Costa Rica had all her exhibits in place in less than three days after they were opened. Arkansas had nearly all her stuff so artistically packed that it went to the right place and was ready to look at as fast as unpacked. The fanciful and ar tistic designs wrought of the cereals and grasses of the state are much finer than any it exhibited at Chicago. All these are ill her part of the Agricultural building.
 In the same building are many other unique designs to represent certain sec tions of the south. The Seaboard Air Line railroad has relief map exhibit ing the country through which the road runs from Portsmouth, Va., here, and a miniature train traverses the fields and runs into facsimile of the Union depot the same that sarcastic paragraphers refer to as the Atlanta car shed. " An interesting little thing in this neighbor- hood is the miniature cotton gin, from which the lint is seon falling into a glass case, so the visitor can see the en- tire process. It seems little odd that the finest, at any rate the most unique, booth in this building should be that of Cincinnati distilling company, and that the designer of it is lady of that city. Yet so it is, and though the access sories of whisky are made prominent in the f1nishings the general effect is ex- tremely pretty. As to the mere amuse- ments, those on the inside finger behind the general show, but on the outside, oh, my In truth, they are so numerous that man can very easily spend all his money without going inside the gates.

 Battlefelds. though of great historic interest, are but small part of the many attractive places around Atlanta. There is, to start on, the much praised Ponce de Leon spring, and if you come here be sure to pronounce 1t ln the broadest English you can mouth, as if it were spelled Fonts d Leeun. And so of all other foreign names hereabout. Frills in pronunciation are bad form here. Plain English is good enough for Atlanta. Then there are parks and groves of every size and variety. Fort Walker is kept just as the war left it, with the old cannon and ammunition wagon standing as ill 1864, save that it is rather badly weathered The old city reservoir is turned into great lake, with steam launch, pleasure boats and bathing beach. And the city itself is on the highest ground between the Missis sippi and Atlantic of any place of it's size, Denver being the only city of it's size which is higher. So October is al ways a delightful month here A short ride will take one among the widest mountain scenery of north Georgia, and it isn't very far to Dahlonega and the center of the old goldfields which De Soto sought so long and never found. But when the original engineers sur veyed this place and vicinity the timber was very thick and whisky very cheap, the result being a set of lines which make one think of Euclid in a fit of de- lirium tremens. The visitor from places like Indianapolis and Philadelphia will therefore find that geography here is an inexact science and must cultivate the direction sense anew.
 But this is getting long way from the exposition. Despite the many and vexatious delays, every day, at almost
 
 every hour, sees some department con- pleted and the unsightly litter remov- ed. It was only five days before opening day that the first box of foreign exhibits was unpacked, delay due, the foreign CTS said to the failure of the govern ment to have customs inspectors here, for such is the kindness of our paternal gov ernment that everything the foreigners bring here must be classified and enter ed as an import. The heather Chinese, however, is peculiar for tricks that are dark and has played it on the govern ment in way that at this late day will be hard to beat. The concession granted by a little act of congress suspending the exclusion act so far as Chinese en- ployed in this exposition were concern ed failed to specify the number, so the concessionnaire shipped in 35 women
