About the Trans-NIississippi Exposition,
and How to Get There.
When the worlds fair at Chicago ceas-
ed to exist, it was supposed that we
should ne'er look upon its like again.
However, the Trans-Mississippi expOsi-
tiOn at Omaha has effectively reproduced
in similarity all Of the buildings which
made the white city go attractive in '93.
It does not take weeks to wander
through grounds and structures, and then
be compelled to go away with a tumble
Of ideas, for the Omaha exposition people
have 'prOfted by past experience. and
have so improved the arrangement Of ex-
hibits that no more than two or three
days Of time need be consumed in admi-
ration and kinspectiOn Of the marvellous
resources Of the west, collected together
in the chief city Of Nebraska.
Even the new midway is a reproduction
Of the far-famed street Of all nations Of
1893, with many improvements upon the
original.
The electric lighting Of the buildings,
grounds, and lagoon at night makes a
scene of enchanting beauty, alone worth
travelling thousand miles to see.
The means of communication between
the city and grounds are ample, and the
distance to be travelled is short.
The ways Of reaching Omaha are in
Vulnerable, but chief among them is the
direct Chicago and Omaha short line of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
way, with its electric-lighted, vestibuled
trains, leaving Chicago every night at
6:l5 p. M, and arriving at Omaha at S:2O
the next morning. Dining-car service
en- route.
Excursion tickets are on sale at every
coupon ticket Office in the United States,

His Great Goodness.

Lieut.. Hobson m light have been
lecturing to class OF students on the
theory how to build ships, SO deliberate
was his manner. His chief anxiety was
that in the dark he might miss the
narrow gut and run on to the shoals at
the west of the entrance. TO prevent
the possibility of this, the plan of allow
ing the Merrmac 10 run in under the
Spanish flag with the fleet in pursuit
firing blank cartridges and blazing the
path to the harbor entrance with search
lights was considered, but abandoned
because among other reasons, Lieut..
Hobson and his volunteer crew did not
want to die if their lives should be
sacrificed, under false colors. They
wanted to 90 down with the stars and
stripes floating proudly from the Mer-
rimac.
