IDEAS OF A ZULA
YOUNG WOMAN

A special dispatch to the New York
Sun from Syracuse, n. Y, says: There
is Zulu young woman here who has
ideas about American civilization. She
knows what it is to be an African saw
age and a civilized Christian, and she
is not quite sure yet which she prefers.
She is in her civilized state now, but is
homesick for Zululand. "Oh, no." she
said to-day, Il want not to be a bar
barian again. but l like not all civilized
customs. Americans are too extreme,
and they are not happy for it"
Nokutela Mdima DUDE is her name.
She was born Of savage parents in In
anda. Natal, on the dirt floor of a kraal,
like all Zulu babies. 1t was during the
period of the annual tax collecting by
the Beers, and, according to the Zulu
custom. which ordains that child shall
be named in honor of the last important
event preceding his or her birth, this
child was called Nokutela, signfying g
the paying of taxes. For the next II
years she frisked about in a state Of
absolute nature. NOkutela was quick
and intelligent and attracted the notice
of the missionaries who put her into a
mission school at nevada, $50 miles
away. There she remained, getting
houses and what to do with the things
used in them. She also learned to read
and write, and studied arithmetic, geog-
raphy, which was very hard for her,
and the beginnings of history. Then
she married Her husband, whose
translated name is John DUDE, was
pupil in the mission school with Noku-
leta, and came away to America to be
educated. while his dark brown sweet
heart waited for him in Zululand
When he returned to nevada they
were married by the missionaries and
since that time have been trying to
educate their people. Two years ago
they came to America with a gigantic
scheme in their heads They want to
civilize Africa, and propose TO begin by
teaching the Zulus the industrial arts.
They have obtained some money and
in March will sail away for Zululand,
to convert the heather and teach them
how to sew and wear clothes.
Nokutela is young. with blazing black
eyes, smooth skin and handsome, regular
features. She speaks good English,
with a deliberation that is charming,
and in the sOftest voice in the world.
Her manner is grace itself
II do not know about reporters" No
kutela said hesitatingly, when an inter-
view was suggested. "Qne of them said
that my parents make mince pies of
missionaries. And it is not the truth.
I think I am at work-engag ged--to-
day"
20 Nakutela! And is that the truth?"

She went on. DO you know how many
people there are in Zuluand? Fifty
millions, and nearly all of them unciH-

selves. They think it is only the white
man who can make houses and cities.
The women attend to the business and
they do all the labor. They dig the
ground and plant the crops, build the
huts for storing them, aud do all the
heavy work. The men nave only to
hunt now. Before the English came
they used to fight-one tribe against
another-but they cannot now. The
women cook the food, too, but they
have no housework TO do. Our people
have no furniture nor dishes, nor beds
and they wear no clothes. We are
quite, quite natural. YOU see. A few of

the mission schools the Zulu child is

up all their wives but one. They do not

| introduced i'll the shape of an elevat-
! ed railway within the exposition.
| There will be two platforms, one run
ming at a speed of two and a half
! miles an hour. the other at speed of
| five miles. Visitors will experience no
| difficulty or Inconvenience in stepping
! from the less speedy platform TO the
! faster one.
Another novelty will be the largest
! theater in the world. which is thus
described by a newspaper on this side:
According to the report of NJ. Raulin.
! the architect who has been entrusted
with its construction, it will surpass
any other building of the kind from the
point of view of size and seating ca
pacity. 1t will be erected within the
well known Galleries des Machines
and will accommodate from 1900 TO
$4,000 persons. The auditorium Will
consist of five circular tiers rising one
above the other and sloping backward
till the topmOSt reaches the very roof
of the 'Galerie.' while these circles at
the rear will present the appearance
of enormous arcades supported by CO.
lossal columns. Each of the five bal
comics will be approached by six gil
gantic doors. all having double stair

utes the section with which they are
connected The stage. which is to be
circular and capable in parts of being
moved round on a turntable, will alone

One of the features that contributed
to the success of the worlds fair will
be copied at Paris by the inauguration
of the state days. or, as they will be
known here, les jours des provinces y
when the fete days of provincial
France will be observed with all their
picturesque features.
The American commissioners from
the head down to the humblest attache
were chosen for their competency and
it has already become a proverb in
Paris that if the Americans were run
ming the whole exhibition it would
have been held and over by this time.
The magnificent suite of offices occu-
pied by the American commission in
the Avenue Rapp is hive of industry.
The vice commissioners. General B.

err General Peck left for Chicago. has
been in charge of the American COM

the ability and tact he has displayed
in dealing with the exposition author

Paris, Dec. 25.-The way in which
the communications are pouring into
the office of the commissioner general
of the great Paris exposition from the
55 nations that have been invited TO Par
ticipate in the fair, is the strongest Of
arguments that this exposition is les
tined to eclipse every one that has pre-
ceded it. OF these 50 countries to
which invitations have been sent only
one-Egypt--has decided to take no
official part. The struggle for su
premacy at the exposition of 1900 will
be a friendly one between nations"
said the Hon. Ferdinand w. Peck. COM
missioner general of the United States,
the other day. 1T will not be an in
dustrial competition between manufac-
turers of the same nationality.
Foremost among the nations that are
arranging to exhibit at the Paris eX-
position are the United States and
Great Britain. The friendly rivalry re-
ferred to by Mr.. Peck will be strongest
between these two nations. Five acres
of the exposition grounds will be allot-
ted to the exhibits from the United
States, and every state will send it's
most useful inventions and finest prod
ucts. Besides the exhibits. there will
he many interesting and artistic 6truc
lures erected on the ground over which
the United States commissioners have
control. One of the most interesting
will be the monument to the ~memory
of LAFAYETTE which the school child
ren of America will erect as a present
TO the country giving the exposition.
This monument, which is to be con-
structed at a cost of $250.000. is to be
unveiled on July 4, 1900, which will be
known as United States day at the
Paris fair
Up to the present. Great Britain,
with the Prince of Wales as the COM
missioner general, is the foremost ma
ton in preparation for the fair. The
prince has thrown himself into the ar
rangements for the British exhibit
with his customary energy and enter
prise and is overseeing every prepara-
ton in person. Those who are fond of
calling attention to the superiority of
American energy and enterprise had
better keep an eye on these British
commissioners, who are working away
at the preparatory arrangements for
the fair with an energy that has al
most carried their task to completion
while that of the United States is still
being talked over.
Among the projects that are planned
to add to the attraction of the fair are
the great revolving 400-foot tower, an
enormous bell in a great belfry, the
street of centuries, the palace of toys,
the wonderful Alexander III. bridge
across the Seine. a structure whose
ornamentation will make it the finest
bridge that ever spanned a river: The
press palace, and a list of novelties too
long to enumerate. One of the most
interesting will be the movable plat
form or railway. A road of this kind
was exhibited at the worlds fair in
Chicago, also at a recent exhibition
at Berlin. But it seems to be reserved
for Paris to put the movable platform

because the ship acquired him on the

Cabot. One of the oldest of the en-
