"TriIby" Mt the ExpOsittOn.

The latest attraction to go upon the Mid
way Is a painting known as "Trilby," the
work Of Ashley d. M. CooDer Of st. Louis.
The model was Missouri girl who worked
as a saleswoman in a Kansas City cloak
store. The artist received $4,000 for his
picture. Before coming here, 1t was ex-
hibited in Boston, where during three
months it was seen by more than 100000.
The figure Is six feet and one inch high and
is painted upon fiat piece Of canvas twelve
feet high and eight feet wide. The remark
able work Of the artist is seen in the pic
ture. When viewed from distance, the
figure appears to be standing In a recess
with three sides, with a strong light at one
side. When closely inspected. 1t is seen that
the effect is produced with the brush and
that the apparent light is the result OF the
artists skill. So lifelike does the painting
appear, that one can almost imagine that
the eyes move and the lips are ready to utter
sounds.

ExeninG n DELIGHT mt the Grounds.

After the sweltering heat Of the day it
was a delight to spend the evening on the
grounds. where every particle Of breeze was
gratefully perceptible. The crowd was OF
surprising proportions considering the un-
usual heat Of the day and 1t gave liberal
attention to the band concert. the fireworks
and every other feature Of the evening. The
pyrotechnical display was especially bril-
liant last night and included number OF
new designs that caught the crowd. One
was a mermaid in fire Of changing colors
that floated across the surface Of the lake
and another particularly pretty piece was a
carpet design in which half dozen colors
rivaled each other in brillancy. One Of the
features Of the entertainment was the dis
charge OF the biggest shell that has yet
been exploded on the grounds. 1t was
forty-five FOUNDER and 1t fairly filled the
heavens with brilliant colored stars.

North Dakota's New Product.

A remarkable agricultural exhibit has
come in from North Dakota. 1t Is known
as chufe and is apparently nothing but
grass The top is grass and is very nu-
tritious, but the venture lies in the roots
Of the plant. There are hundreds of the
little roots branching out from a parent
stalk. upon the end of which there is a
little nut, mucn like the peanut, only
smaller. These nuts are used for fatten-
ing hogs and 1t is said that one bushel con-
tains as much fat producing properties as
ten bushels of corn. One acre Of the chufe
will produce 200 bushels of the nuts.

These paintings will be sent to the Paris
exposition in 1900 and Mr.. Keys mission in
Omaha is to make the Transmissssippi Ex-
position also live on canvas long after its
magnificent outlines have disappeared. He
has already completed six painting illus
trating views Of the exposition and has
studies of twelve more. One OF the COM
pleted paintings, which is a view OF the
main court, was taken to Washington by
Manager Rosewater of the Department OF
Publicity and Promotion to show to Presi-
dent Mckinley as an illustration OF the real
scope and beauty OF the exposition. 1t
has all the life and color that constituted
the charm Of the artists Worlds Fair pic
lures. The outlines OF the buildings are
perfectly reproduced and the setting OF
landscape and foliage glows with its natural
intensity Of coloring. The lagoon, with its
burden of launches and gondolas is beauti-
full with light and shade effects that are
marveously true to nature and there is the
same realistic painting Of the human figures
that throng the Court. The six completed
paintings have been sent to Prang at Bos-
ton to be reproduced in the best type of the
printers art and Mr.. Key will go with
them and incidentally exhibit them to the
people of Boston. From there he will go to
Springfield, where they will also be ex-
hibited, and thence to other eastern cities.

Attendance mt the Exposition IL Near
ing the Million Mark.

The total attendance passed the 100000
mark last night and unless some unforeseen
misfortune should intervene 1t will be well
above 100000 at the end OF the current
week. Sunday was comparatively light
day, but the Monday crowd was way ahead
of the previous average. and the attendance

high water mark of the week was reached.
This was largely on account Of the reduced
admission Thursday night, which brought
nearly 5000 visitors to the grounds In the
evening. The following is the record for the

Omen have changed radically since
those days. The modern man does not
admire the fainting woman, neither does he
marry her If by chance he does, he is
only man, and lives to regret it, There is
no reason why any woman should be faint
ing woman. General bodily weakness and
nervousness in women are due to weakness
or disease Of the delicate, special organs of
the sex. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

disorders of this description. II imparts
health and strength to the sensitive and

Wyoming Range Cattle.

Wyoming Range Cattle.
H. s. Hunter of Collins, Wyo, a stock
man who is in Omaha taking in the expo
sition, said of cattle in Wyoming: mot
many Of the Wyoming cattle will begin to
move east until the last of September. All
our cattle are a month later than the cattle
In the Black Hills and other ranges further
east, but they are in good flesh now and
promise to be in fine condition in another
month. The price Of beef has given the
cattle countries great boom and they are
more prosperous than they ever were before.
Men who have cattle now have a veritable
Klondike, and the indications are with the
generally improved condition Of times that
the price will continue to be good. The
sheepmen in Wyoming are in an equally
fourishing condition and receive good
prices for sheep and wool which would have
been almost worthless three years ago."
Mr.. Hunters home is near Grand En-
campment the gold camp concerning which
there was so much furor few months ago,
and he says the excitement was killed by
the war, but that there are still a number OF
prospectors working there. and that there
are unquestionably some rich deposits. The
camp IS more than sixty miles, however,
from railroad, and Mr.. Hunter questions
whether tho camp will be success until a
road Is constructed.
Omaha's winning Ways.
"There is one feature connected with the
meeting Of the Society Of American Florists
in this city this week." said Ed S. Dean of
Bloomington, ILL.,, who was an exhibitor at
the convention, land 1t has been pleasantly
commented upon by all the delegates present.
That Is the manner in which the visitors
have been received by the Omaha people,
The conventions heretofore have been held
in cities in the east, and while the mem
bers have been accorded the freedom Of
the town, and told to make themselves at
home, it has stopped there. This Omaha
did the first day we were here. In addi-
tion to that it gave us a reception and an
interesting stereopticon lecture at the
church, entertained us at Lningers art gal
lery and served a pretty luncheon gave the
women OF the party carriage ride over the
city. entertained us royalty at Krugs park
during the progress of the bowling con-
test, and then took us for a whole day at
the exposition with all the attractions such
a trip always affords. AS IL this were not
enough entertainment for any convention
The size OF the florists. J. f. Wilcox came
over from Council Bluffs. and on his own
notion gave the visitors a delightful trolley
ride to his pretty city, drove them out to
MS floral gardens and vineyard, and served
hem with pleasing luncheon. The So
,iety in all dts history never received such
from any city where 1t held its
previous sessions, and pace has been set
which will be difficult for other cities in
he future to follow. 1t is no wonder then
hat most Of the delegates are pleased with
heir reception here, express the highest
pleasure at the coming. and will carry away
with them good words for your town, and
lrase for your wonderful exposition"

ment met Tuesday and were addressed
as follows by the premier: THE times
are so grave and the circumstances are
so exceptional that acts and not words
are necessary to face the present diff
ficulty. Attempts are being made to
sully the glorious history of Spain by
an Infamous calumny.' The different
Spanish governments have done their
utmost to avert war to which we are be-
ing provoked We have now reached
the limits of concessions compatible
with honor and territorial integrity. We
consented to the last concession at the
instance of the pope and the powers.
We yielded In fact, but now attempts
are being made upon our honor and
menaces directed against our territory.
That is a thing to which Spaniards will
never consent This Is not the moment
to trace a parliamentary program, but
the moment to unite ourselves. as our
fathers have done, In the face OF an
odious attempt against the integrity OF
our territory. The insult offered us to-
day is the most Infamous that has ever
been offered"
Premier Sagasta counselled the rapid
constitution of the chambers in order To
accord to the government the means to
defend the country's interests. Spain,
he added. will not allow parcel of her
territory to be taken from her with n
punity: nor will she be party to any
trafiickng for her possessions" Pro-
longed applause greeted the speech.

AT THE AQUARIUM.
a Feeding Time Incident of Life In tn
Balanced Tanks.

a Feeding Time Incident of Life In the
Balanced Tanks.
When the decorator crab gets too big
for it's shell, it does what many other
shellfish dot sheds 1t, emerging with
its new shell already formed, but at
that stage of its growth pliable and not
much thicker than paper In its soft
she'll state it is comparatively defense
less, and it keeps out of the way of other
shellfish il it can, but its new shell
soon hardens, and then it goes about in
its accustomed manner
The decorator increases greatly, per-
haps third in size, almost immediate.
ly after leaving its old she'll, which it
scarcely seems possible it could ever
have inhabited, but it gets out of the
old shell nevertheless without damag
ing it and leaving it often disposed in a
most lifelike form.
The decorators at the aquarium are
fed separately, 80 that each will be sure
to get its portion, The food is put down
to them on the tip of little stick,
which is shaken gently over them, and
the food, thus detached, falls within the
crabs grasp. There is no current in the
balanced tanks in which the smaller
decorators are, and anything dropped in
the water drops straight down. The
other day there were found in one of
these tanks, clinging to the ulva, two
decorators, which were supplied, as
usual, by placing their food in the wa
ter where they would be sure to get it,
Being somewhat pressed for time that
day, however, the man who fed them
did not wait to see the crabs actually
eat. He placed their food within reach
and trusted them to do the rest.
But glancing in at this tank on his
return from feeding the small fishes and
things in the other balanced tanks he
saw the two decorators that he had
found on the ulva still there and in pre-
cisely the same attitudes as before, and
then he realized that they were not live
crabs, but sheddings. He had been feed
ing empty shells. On taking them out
of the tank he found inside of one of
them the fragment of food which he
had dropped for it, which had fallen
into it through the opening between
the upper and the lower part of the
shell which the crab had made in get
ting out.
1t may be that the two decorators for
merly residing in these shells, but now
secure in some distant part of the tank
with new shells hardening on their
backs, smiled as they thought of the
feeding of their empty shells. 1t is GER
tain that the man who fed them smiled
as he arranged them for preservation in
the aquarium s collections. New York
