The management of the Pittsburg
Exposition is to be congratulated on
having secured Bostock's famous wild
animal show for the remainder OF the
season. Bostock's anima,s are famed
the world over. 1T WAS impossible to
secure the show earlier in the season,
until the managers had ended their
long engagement in Boston. Immedi-
ately upon the close Of the Boston
Park where Bostock's show was on, the
congress of Wild beasts were shipped to
the Exposition and performances are
now being given afternoon and evening,
performances which are setting Pitts
burg Exposition visitors wild with ex-
element. The immense Hippodrome
has been corv"rtod into the animal
arena-acores vl immense cages having
been er, cted last week and filled with
the best Of Bostock animals. Some Of
the most ferocious l~ions-twelve OF
them, to be exact, are among the most
Interesting and exciting of the acts.
Can you imagine a small, delicate APP
pearing woman of refinement entering
a cage of twelve roaring beasts-all APP
pearing as if ready to crush the life out
of her with their immense paws? This
little woman day in and day u enters
the cage of the King Beasts, cowing
them with but a mere glance and max
ing them go through performances
which even the wisest Of dogs would
hardly attempt. Aside from these
lions are trained %leopards, which have
been trained by the world renowned
Senorita Davila. Eight of the cat
family are under her care nigh. and
day and the performance which she
puts them through thrill one to the
boue-and the shivers run down your
back and make you marvel at the bray
cry of the woman, Equestrian bears and
a mixed group Of lions, pumas, hyenas
and bear-hounds, all under the watch
full eye of Mile. M~arcella, furnish
enough excitement for one evening
while Charles Miller, the wonderful
elephant trainer puts his three ele-
plants through a series of tricks that
is laughable and yet wonderful to be-
hold.

A MADE.T0.0RDER CITY.

A manufacturing concern is usually
but one Of the elements of the city
which houses 1t. An instance in which
this relation Is reversed and the city
becomes but one of the elements of the
manufacturing concerns is about to be
offered in northern Indiana by the
United States Steel Corporation. A city
which at its opening is expected to have
a population close to 100000 persons, is
being built to order.
Gary, as the new city is already
named, lies to the eastward of Clarke
Junction, on the south shore of Lake
Michigan. 1t extends across the Grand
Calumet River to the Little Calumet,
and when these are connected with the
lake by dredged channel. as will be
done before the city begins work, it will
have a fine harbor and extensive dock
frontage. 1t Is also crossed by five or
six Of the principal trunk line railroady
from the East to Chicago.
The two Calumet rivers. parallelinr
the lake shore and separated from q
by low sand ridges, have long been
pointed to by Chlcagoans as offering in
definite extension to their port facili
ties. Hammond, Whiting and East
Chicago are three OF the places which
have thus sprung up to take advantage
OF them, and 1t Is probable there will
before many years be practically an un
interrupted city from Chicago to the
mouth of the Little Calumet.
Already a small army of tents Is
standing on the ground Of Gary. while
the wOrkmen who live in them are
building houses, laying out streets. put
ting in sewer and water and gas mains
and electric wires. street pavement and
sidewalks, and all the manifold neces
stiles of city, ready for its inhabit
ants. The buildings for the use of thl
steel company are also going up.
BY an edict of the company which
owns the city no saloons are to be al
lowed within the limits. and no liquor
will be sold there. Plans for extensive
parks and Fairgrounds have been made
and locations have been assigned &c
great numbers of merchants who wish
to get their stocks Of dry goods, gro
ceries and other things in before the
workmen arrive and the city is formal
ly opened.
