PARIS, March II, 1900.
Just three weeks from the day this letter
appears in print the Paris exposition will
be reality. So the French people will have
more than one cause for celebrating Easter
with greater eclat than usual On Sat-
urday, April IA. President Emile LOU
bet and his ministers, with all the ambas-
sailors and foreign representatives in Paris,
with about $1,000 invited guests, will off,
cially open with speeches and champagne
the gates of the greatest fair ever held.
AS the eventful day draws near show
men with new attractions are seen in great
numbers at the headquarters. They come
too late, however. All applications are now
ruthlessly refused, so that 1t is at last pos
sible to publish an official list of the mid
way features in their entirety. First of all,
there are half dozen panoramas, three of
which represent scenes of special interest
to the French nation, while the remainder
will prove attractive to the cosmopolitan
crowd who come from every part of Eu-
rope and America. The first three piano.

Frenchmen may thus be induced to leave
their happy home and mother country to

African waters. The third panorama repre-
Sents the French Congo.

rama erected by line of steamships. This
last picture gives a very striking ilIustra-
ton of the two terminal points of the
steamship line, as well as an expansive
mfdocean scene.
But, as visitors will not come from all
parts of the world to gaze upon panoramas,
marvellous as they may be, the astute Paris
ians have provided numerous other Midway
features, such as the Subterransan mining
exhibition. the palace of costume the giant
telescope. old Paris, the celestial globe, the
luminous palace, Andalusia. the marion
cites, the Algerian village etc, etc. Most
of these Midway features have been de-
scribed in previous letters. but these six
have not been dealt with in detail: l. Ina

aquarium of Paris; g. The japanese wres-
tiers: 4. The Egyptian dances: s. The NOV

frescoes. bas reliefs and Inscriptions that
nave been eXcavated in recent years on
the banks of the Euphrates and the Nile
Some of these frescoes date back to the
fourteenth century, B. c., to the DAYS of
Rameses II.
Colossal Music Hall.
The Palace of Fetes is another colossal
undertaking in connection with the expo-
sition. Unless the attendance at the fair
exceeds an average of 100000 visitors, some
OF these big concerns will meet with hnan-
cial disaster. The Palace Of Fetes oc-
cupies about 10000 square feet of space.
and is said to be the biggest music hall on
earth. There is room for 1,JO0 artists on
the stage, so that some very elaborate per
formances may be given. Among those al
ready announced are number of extra
ordinary ballets and fairy-tale spectacular
plays During the exposition period six
performances will be given daily the gem
eral program comprising a combina ton of
regular music hall. circus and vaudeville
features. The admission will be two francs
go cents) and visitors can remain inside
from morning till night, IL they care to
stay that long. There is room in the au-
ditorium for 1900 spectators. half of which
number can be accommodated with seats
at one time.

at the present time seems to be the most
peaceful. Even in the chamber of depu-
ties, where pandemoniums are as frequent
as orderly sessions, the by-word appears
to be: The exposition is on There are
strangers within our gates. We must ali
Keep on our good behavior this summer,'
And this same spirit seems to pervade all
other circles. All Quarrels are by common
consent apparently held in allowance until
after the exposition. This ought to be a
good market for flags of truce
