ATLANTA'S FAIR.

Probably from nov till January lst will be very pleasant time to visit the Cotton States Exposition at Atlanta, Ga. The exhibits by this time have all arrived and are nearly if not all in place. The buildings were expected to be com pleted by October 20th and the land scape gardeners have finished their la- bors of constructing beautiful walks, little parks and charming miniature lagoon. The Exposition is big thing for the Southern states and they are largely represented by the agricultural products. and what manufacturing and other industries they now have in the Southern country. The exhibit from the North is small in comparison with that of the South and West but good many industries from the Yankee conn., try are represented. The Exposition is to have fine art display and the art building is to remain standing after the fair closes. Not the least interesting exhibit is that of the colored people, showing their great advancement in the last thirty years in all the different branches
 The Midway is smaller reproduction of the famous Plalsance at Chicago and has few features not seen in the Windy City, notably the Mexican village; the Chinese village, containing over 200 Chinese; and the Old Plantation, rep resenting the old-time southern "nig. ger" Another new feature is the Os- trich yard. In place of the Ferris Wheel there Is Phoenix wheel, which is the same idea on 8 smaller order. The great novelty on the Midway is the great water sport, Shooting the Chutes."
 The people >"Down in Dixie" receive the Northerners very hospitably and are doing what they can to make the stay ol the fair visitors pleasant one. Allan ta is an attractive city and cffers ample accommodations to the visitors in the way of hotels, private boarding places and rooms. and not at exhorbitani prices either. Outside of its business center Atlanta is more like a big, pros porous country town and contains many spots of historic interest in connection with that past "unpleasantness." Tn. amusement features in the city are uI to date and are plenty and of good order. Sunday is strictly observed, ,ever the Exposition being closed on that day. There are several differ nt com peting excursion routes to Atlanta and it's big fair SO we refrain from recom mending any of them. The rates ars quite low at present and it won't take { small fortune to go to the Exposition and remain there few days.
 | In connection with what we have said we want to say few things for you te remember. If you go to Atlanta gel good accommodations, they can be haf as chesply as others. Don't call Con federate veteran rebel. The colorei people are known as niggers, withou any stigma Tn the name. Be carefn what you eat, and we can say from ex perience and in the words of the Seo'y of the Connecticut Commission, "don' drink any water" J.e B.

TELEPHONES ON TRAINS.
Important Invention of Superintendent Baker of the Southern New Eng. land.
[Winsted Citizen

tWinsted Citizen.
 General Supt. E E. Baker of the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, has just invented telephone attach ment for railroad use which is calcula- ted to be invaluable and which eventual ly is expected to bring about communi- cation by telephone from moving trains. The Valley Division of the Consolidated road has already been equipped with Mir Bakers device. The arrangement is such that the telephone is called into requisition by the train dispatcher in addition to the telegraph dispatcbing wires. and is so arranged by the device that the dispatcher can be called by any station or block along the line in sec. ond. This makes great additional safeguard to the running o: trains.
 The cleverest part of the arrangement is however what may be called hang. ing set which is to be carried on every baggage Car and caboose. If a train comes to standstill through block. g wreck or any other trouble, the hanging set, consisting of spliced rods with g cross arm at the top. is dropped on two wires on the pole line along side the track. This establishes connection as we'll as if the telephone instrument was in the most quiet private office. This has been tried and will work on every foot of line along railroad.
 In case of wreck the telephone is brought into immediate working orde, calling the dispatcher with the notified tion and orders are sent direct to the spot in return. The invention will make rsilroading still more safe thar even with the cautionary block system with which it works most effectively.
 MT Baker says it is but step te carry the device to a point where it can bt used just as readily on moving trainl and that it can be used for. passenger, as we'll as the railroad itself.

CHAPlNvILLE.

The leading ladies and city people are disgnsted with the worn out name of Chapinville. as there is no one by the name of Chapin left here. The origin al Chapin's estate was settled in 1878. Soon thereafter the families died and their estates were sold out. The name is now extinct. The property has changed hands several times. being re- newed, re.fnodelled and renovated. It is not the Chapinville of 70 years ago; not . person here now, who knew 1t then. Scarcely building but has re- ceived . modern touch.

The attendance on Thursday was 17,7l7 and ou Friday ls,l9i The fair has been moro of a succcss than ever. notwithstanding it was held a week later than usual, By success we mean that it has attracted moro distinguished people, and there has been an advance in the nnmber and quality of exhibits In point of number of visitors tue at- tendance for the entire week. fell few thousand short of the best previous re- cord. but this is accounted for by the inclemant weather.
 The objectionable features of the fair are also apparently on the increase. The fakirs. gamblers, pickpockets, im- moral sideshows. games of chanoe. confidence games, anl virtually swindling games are apparently on the increase and give the fair bad reputs- tion. Even one Of the captains of the New York Are department and com panion fell victims to pickpockets while at dinner in restaurant. Tue captain was relieved of diamond stud worth several hundred dollars, aud Gold- headed umbrella worth $50, or more. His companion was relieved of 500 gold watch.

received by the sporting editor from gentle
man who resides at Halfmoon Bay, calling the
attention of the Fish Commissioners TO the
spearing of steelheads in San Gregorlo creek
by Italian fishermen. The writer says that
during the past week several barrels OF flsh
have been sailed down.
Professor Jordan has arrived from an excur-
sion to Mazatlan and reports having discovered
eighteen varieties of saltwater fishes hereto
fore unknown to science.

Fish Commissioners of Minnesota have sue
ceeded in propagating breed of albino trout,
which constitutes remarkable addition TO the
wonders of artificial selection. They are pure
white, dotted with pink spots, with pink ms
and pink eyes. The superintendent, 5. ). wat
kins, first obtained specimens three years ago,
and by careful breeding has succeeded IN &C
cumulating a stock OF 700 OF them. An Alblno
trout is, OF course, mere freak OF nature, ana
it is not often that mere freaks can be made
into permanent lines, as the tendency OF nature
is always to return to normal conditions. This
case is a most interesting exception TO the gem

mentions something of interest to anglers. In
the last number it casts out the following re-
minder to the officers of the Fly Casting Club:
"What has become of that Fly-Casting Club?
When anglers are questioned about 1t they all
speak enthusiastically on the subject, but the
club seems to be asleep The club has never
been really organized yet. Has any one ever
paid any dues? Or been called TO pay any?
The first item is cash; without a financial
standing, however small, club has no stand
ing whatever. If the secretary should call a
meeting, and start the club going in the right
direction, we are quite sure that f1y-casting
events would be monthly, if not weekly, fix
lures, and large and strong club would be the
inevitable result -
