AFLOAT ON THE VENICE LAGOON
A Charming Record of Picturesqueness
 and Color

| A NidiIlillSs IhCCOIu Dl uT6SUuPHcSS | and Color
 I The ordinary sight-seer has neither
 time nor inclination to explore the cu- 1 rious band of lace work, forty miles l long, into the center of which the city | of Venice is sewn, like a ruby. The guide books. with one exception, afford no space to it's description, Horatio F. Browns admirable and now almost
 classical Life on the Lagoons" alone
 devoting to the minor islands and lidi
 any close attention. The tourist cross es the lagoon at it's narrowest point to the baths at Santa Elsabetta, and thinks that he has seen it, but he has
 observed nothing of it's nature or it's
 conformation. It is only after consid-
 erable length of stay at Venice, and
 when the architectural and artistic at
 fractions of the city are relaxing their
 demand on the stranger, that he begins,
 if his inclinations happen to lie that
 way, to push further and further over
 that glimnering expanse and to begin
 to comprehend it's intricate conformity.
 And there are aspects of beauty and
 mystery bound up with the long con-
 temptation of the lagoon which are,
 perhaps, no less inexhaustible than
 those awakened by the works of Bellini
 and Titan.
 The lagoon of Venice, as is we'll known, is "a large basin, covering an area of one hundred and eighty-four square miles, and composed of shoal banks, intersected in all directions by deep channels" It is on this basin that the traveller, leaving the eastern entrance to the Grand canal at any hour, adventures upon an expedition to fairyland. Before him lies what would seem to be open sea, if, at receding or approaching distances, low and some- times almost invisible islands are seen to bar the way or break it. These flat objects are some of them true islets, the rest are portions of the lidi, or series fo natural ramparts, which run north and south, and protect the whole Veneto from destruction by the rage of the Adriatic. The islands are small, and their very names are rarely mastered by the foreigner, but in that concert of color of which I am about to try to speak each of them takes it's place in turn. As we glide toward them in the gondola, while Venice recedes behind us, we see in particular two islets far away, of identical appearance, each | lifting from it's center a graceful cam | panile. These are Poviglia and Mala- ! mocco, the latter not, in fact. an is- land, but small old city on the inner ! shore of the Lido. Between Malamoc- 20 and Poviglia the way goes straight from Venice toward Greece and toward the east It is strange what fascina- ton this fact gives to the two pale tri- angles far upon the southern sky.
 To my mind Malacocco and Poviglia names unknown to the guide books. are he keys of the Venetian lagoon If the traveller reaches them--a sandolo with Wo rowers will soon bring him there le pauses for a moment at an ancient shrine, containing a wooden Madonna. ifted high on piles out of the sea, al-

in leaving | should have felt like
a deserter. There has been no
question in my mind as. to the
proper thing to do since the
Democratic convention. No
matter what International Demoe-
crazy may be, the Kansas Democ-
racy is thoroughly Democratic.
Every man and woman who
champions the cause OF the
people.should work to have the
Populist convention accept the
plan of union offered by the
Democrats, fill out the remaining
places on the ticket, and if pos
sible, get under one head. | think

G. Il. Young, a professional decorator,
arrived, yesterday, and is ready for
business. This class of workmen are
rushing things. The decorations all
ready up have received several duck
ings," but are as fresh and bright as
ever all being in fast colors.
Those who have charge of the
various parts of the program are as
busy as the decorators, although their
work does not show as yet. the ex-
ercises for the dedication of the City
han have not been all arranged as
yet but will be something as follows:
Frank Redington will preside, and
speeches will be made by Hon. S. s.
Brown, Hon. Charles f. Johnson and
Fred w. Clair. There will of course
be the usual ceremony of the transfer
of the keys from the contractor to
the mayor. There will also oe mu-
steal selections by Mrs. Antonio Saw
yer, L. r. Cain. the Cecilia Club and
chorus of 80 school children.
The tickets for the service in City
hall. Sunday evening, disappeared very
rapidly. The pastors of the churches
had a supply for their parishioners,
who took them with a rush, and now
all are about gone. 1t looks as if they
might be selling for a good price be-
fore the night arrives. The doors will
be open to the holders of tickets at
6.45 and to the general public ut 7.2O,
so every one will have a chance to
get in, although the chance of getting
a seat will be small for those with
out tickets. 1t promises to be the
greatest audience ever faced by pub

AS the time draws near, every one
in the city is eating centennial Dishes
breathing centennial air, sleeping CEN
tennial sleep, dreaming centennial
dreams, planning centennial plans,
thinking centennial thoughts-all cen
tcnnial. If it come more than once

The greatest signs of progress are
in the decorations. Block after block
is blossoming out, and one private
residence, that of DR.. j. L. Fortier. is
complete-the first in the city. The
effect is very attractive indeed. The
work of decorating the new City hall

bearing incandescent lights about a
foot apart have been strung from the
roof to the ground. The front OF the
building will be regular network of
these, and with the flags and bunting
that will be added will make d charm-
