the Romanesque Liberal Arts building
have pronounced individuality. Yet in the
general picture all these buildings blend
finely. Nor is there any clashing in the
case of the French Ionic style of the build
ings of Cascade Gardens. Twelve hand
some bridges across the waterways, which
form a figure eight by running from the
Grand Basin around the Electricity and
Education buildings, further contribute to
the architectural spiendor of the scene.

Rows of fine, large naples set off the
buildings In the main vista, adding i'm
measureably to the beauty of the picture
and furnishing one of the many demonstra-
tions of the superiority of this exposition
in the matter of landscape gardening.
There are also many trees to set off the
other buildings of the group, shrubbery
and small trees have been used in profu-
sion around the entrances and the bridges
and there are handsome sunken gardens in
two places. The landscape treatment of
Cascade Hill is similarly fine.
The Philippine section covers no less
than forty-seven acres, has 100 buildings
represents an outlay of over a million dol
lars A week could easily be spent there
to advantage. Entrance to the section is
free, but twenty-five cents is charged to go
into each of the four native villages, which
are intensely interesting. The villages run
along Arrowhead Lake, and the inhabi-
tants all have some way of entertaining
their visitors The Igorottes, who wear as
little clothing as the law of even savage
lands allow; Bontocs, Tinganues and Suy-
ocs are in one village; the lake-dwelling
Moros and Bogobos in another; the black
Negritos in the third and the civilized Wis
cayans, who have a Catholic Church and a
theatre, in the fourth. As matter of ed
ucation this great encampment of the cit
tie brown men" is one thing that no Amer
lean can afford to miss.

Tne Development Of Nevada.

No state in the Union has so long
and so badly needed an increase of
population as has Nevada, says the
National Geographic Magazine. Her
population CT $4,000 to-day is less
than it was in 1870, six. years after
her admission as state. 1t is graf
flying to know, therefore, that she
will more than double her present
numbers when the vast government
irrigation works begun on the True
kee and Carson rivers are completed.
1t is estimated that the works will
make productive about $4,000 acres
Of sage brush desert in the western
part of the state. These lands will
furnish fertile homesteads of about
eighty acres each for $500 families
Towns and villages will naturally
spring up, so that Nevada may expect
from the reclamation an increase OF
so 600 at the least.

The Pike has in the Tyrolean Alps the
finest concession that | have ever seen.
There Is a great square with many quaint
buildings, a little village street, and above
the snow-clad mountains look very
real as the evening falls. The best scenic
railroad yet devised affords several fine
glimpses of the Alps, and there is a very
graphic exposition OF the Oberammel yau
passion play in the little church. The
Cliff Dwellers' concession also looks very
realistic at nightfall. 1t is elaborate in ar
rangement, and the counting, snake and
other dances by the Southwestern Indians
make it another of the Pike shows which
should be taken in by all. In Seville there
is an amusing marionette theatre and some
genuine Spanish dancing. For the rest the
Pike offers infinite variety and as a rule
the full moneys worth is given. The enor-
nous Jerusalem and Boer War concessions
are not on the Pike.
1t is a case of dine at the German Pa
vilion and die at the Exposition. In a
beautiful Moderne Kunst building adjoin-
ing Das Deutsche Haus the best food and
the highest prices on the grounds are to be
found, the table d'hote lunch and dinner
costing 81 and So, respectively. There is
also la carte service. Everything consid-
cred the prices are not excessive, and at
least one meal should be taken there for
the experience. Another should be taken
at the Tyrolean Alps, either outdoors or in
the gorgeous dining room in the mountain
side. The best French restaurant is at
Paris, on the Pike. Lower in prices and
in every way admirable are the two restau-
rants conducted by Mrs. Rorer in the pa
vilions of Cascade Gardens. The east one
has mattresses and no beer and the west
one walters and beer. For bit OF lunch
Germany, France and England all offer de-
licious pastry in the Agricultural building.
These are not free ads, but time-saving
tips for the traveller. There are no end of
restaurants to fit all purses on the grounds.

THE REAL CULPRITS.

The real culprits, if anyone is to
blame for the pathetic loss of life in
the Iroquois theater at Chicago, are
tine city officials, whose duty it was TO
see that the theater was built, operat-
ed, and kept in conformity to the or
dinances, which in the big cities are
very stringent. II human beings are
legally response BILE for such disasters,
il is those representatives of the peo-
pie who have been reoreant TO their
trusts as public officers.
The law requires fire escapes, exits
easily opened, certain kinds Of cur
tains, lights and electric wires pro-
tected in certain ways, and number
of other things designed to protect the
public. Men are appointed and paid
big salaries by the taxpayers, who can
not do the work themselves, to see
that these things are all provided in
2 thenters and other public buildings
and the duties of these inspectors re-
uuire them TO make frequent inspec
tions and see that the laws are fully
complied with. If the Iroquois thea
ter was defective in any respect it II
not the fault of the managers, the the
atrical company nor the stage hands
some of whom have been locked ~
without bond, but Of those public oti
oisls who SLOWED the theater to b
opened and filled with people.
Mayor Carter Harrison, OF Chicago
is credited with declaring in an inter
view that it is the fault Of the theate
people that such oatastrophes occur
That building ordinances are violate

~ to first procure permission from the
building inspectors, and the building
inspectors would not issue the permit
because the theaters were unsafe and
had no b. ness being opened at all.
The mar .ers had pull, however
and for over year had been operating
fire-traps without license Of any
sort, secure in the knowledge that
their political influence would protect
them. The Chicago horror, however,
was too much for the conRiving WASH
ington authorities. They Immediate
ly closed the fire-trap theaters. If
officials in other places would do like
wise where the facts justify it. they
would only be doing their duty. Ger.
taiuly, however, il Mayor Harrison,
Of Chicago, is correct in his assertion
that Chicago theaters are not built
right and not furnished according to
law, he and the city officials are to
blame because Of the fact that the the
sters are allowed to open. Men are
paid large sala ries to protect the pub
lie from Just such dangers and imposi-
tions, and il the Iroquois thester was
defective in construction, management
or in any other way, it was the fault
of the inspectors and other city offici-
ais that it was ever allowed to open its
doors and entrsp 600 people to horri-
bly, perish.
In this connection attent on might
be called to the danger that ever turks
in the failure Of public officials to do
their duty. This was evidenced in
Paducah not long ago when q man lost
his life in gambling den that had
been allowed to run for weeks under
the nose of city officials and is likely
to be demonstrated at any time in any
place. There is no telling when the
Indifference or connivance of public
officers is going to result in some sort
OF q public calamity, and when it
comes Off, the first thing the oulpsble
officials who are to blame for it do, is
to pick out a scspegost like they have
done in Chicago in the persons of sew
ersl insignificant stage hands and the
atrical people. II they have to arrest
some one, why don't they PVT in jail
the inspectors who reported that the
building complied with the law?
