I/hen President Cleveland presses the elcc-
J-lc button to signal the formal opening of
jio World's Columbian cxH | > sltlon tomorrow ,
pie public will find the fair in a somewhat
[ [ completecondition : but this regretful sH-
Ulon Is duo moro to tardiness of exhibitors
tian to any luck of zcul upon the part of the
Biumigcmcnt of the exposition. Nearly every
lillldlng constructed by thu exposition
I roper In the great White City Is practically
jompleted , and. while general confusion still
[ clgns in most of the structures. It Is in thu
Inaltcr of Installation of thu exhibits und not
[ i delay which can bo attributed to any fall-
giro of thu construction department. Indeed ,
lo Chief Btirnham and President Higgin-
Jiotliam must be given most of the crodlt for
the phenomenal labors which have converted
la barren pane into nn artistic city in the
[ brief space of eighteen months.
The difficulties encountered have been ex-
Rccptional and hurasslng , the most severe
( winter knowil for many years to the building
( trades coming just ut a time when favorable
f weather seemed Indispensable to the success
( of the international exposition. For weeks
Jit wus almost Impossible to work on the out-
fisldo of the World's fair structure : ) nnd the
uheavy snow storms of the winter did much
BJamagu to the roofs of several of those arch
il tcctural triumphs on moro than ono oc-
Icashm.
, llolil Illicit by tlio Wciithcr.
' In the brlof respites afforded by the
j weather from time to time , however , every
J resource of capital and executive ability was
brought to bear to hasten the work , and
although thu unfavorable elements have
waged almost constant warfare , like u venge
ful being ol intellgenco , up to the very
opening day , the only significant effect
has been to delay the installation of exhibits
ixnd retard the completion of several struct
ures , which were rather the artistic trim
mings of uftcrlhought , than u component
part of thu World's fair. The great build
ings , which constitute thu vital conception
of the international exposition and which
area monument to the indomitable executive
iblllty of Chief Burnhnm und his assistants ,
mvo been completed for weeks , ready for
.he Installation of exhibits , uro the Manu-
'acturus and Liberal Arts buildlnsc , Machin
ery hull , Electricity hall , Fisheries building ,
Art buildings , Woman's building , Forestry
lullding , Mines and Mining , llorticullura 1
Agricultural. Transportation building , Ad.
ministration building and the United States
rovcrnmont building. Of the score of state
niilding.s , nearly all are completed , or noar-
.ng . completion und the Midway Plals.inco
shows n dozen of Japanese , Turkish , Sou-
nud other typical villages , which
, prung up Ilka mushrooms in a few
weeks or days.
MHiiul'.tftiirrii und Ilbur.il Arts Hiilldlnif.
On all the earth today t'aero Is probably no
luster community than that which Is work-
nu nt top speed in thu Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building of the World's fair at
Jackson park. It Is a teeming city under
iron and glass. The building itself is com
pleted ; it Is ready and the incompleteness is
within , The work today being done , has to
do with thu construction of the city of boolhs ,
liouses and temples to hold the display of the
nations of the earth.
Entering the great structure at the south
west corner , the Ilrst construction which
meets the eye Is the domed buildings of Per
sia. There Is no sign of exhibits ,
At the left Mexico's space looks like ofllco
railings. Inside , unopened boxes nnd partly
coiiblrncled show ca e.s are huddled thickly.
Slam Is ready to do business when Its
boxes are opened ,
Boxed exhibits from NowSouth Wales are
covered and mixed with lumber und dis
jointed show cdscs , while carpenters uru
working on singing overhead.
Spain Is not yet housed , but will bo In time
if the carpenters do not strike or dlu of old
nco.
Ceylon has nearly completed Its pretty
building of black and gold pillars , sur
mounted by terra cotta llsles , and its section
appears today , though no goods uro un
packed.
Jamaica has her glass cases In place , nnd
exhibits of sugar , cereals and tobacco are In
sight.
" > There was chill desolation about India's
small section. The hand-carved booth of
sundulwood Is nearly completed und the ruin
leaking through the lofty roof of the big
building wus te.stinglts water tightness.
Then came Kngland , or Great Britain us
thu placards rend. Canada was near by.
Both uro In goodshupo relatively. There is a
curious pagoda of pyrotechnic articles rising
lilteen feut , and dripping water is making
this exhibit safe , If , indeed , it bo genuine
powder loaded Ilruwor'.ts.
Uvriminy I * In ( i'uxl Sliupc.
There is no moro distinctive department
than that of Germany , on which laborers and
1 artists are working with all possible haste.
It is solid , ample in design nnd sturdy , If not
heavy in its entirety. The royal throne
room of crystal and gold with tapestries ,
embroideries und paintings , Is no'irly com
plete und the other sections of the national
work show the end Is In sight. Few llrms or
individual exhibits uro as yet In place ,
though ono elaborate show of cutlery U an
exception.
The Japanese folks have their building
complete und decorated. What Is going on
Inside is concealed by shades.
In the center of the main aisle , near the '
north und of the thlrty-acro buildlni ; , nn ele
vator in In progress of construction. It
seems fur from completion today , but when
completed , will carry to a promenade upon
thu roof. Near the north end , there are a
few New York state exhibits , waiting
dumbly fora glimpse of daylight , as it Is In
Chlcuiro , Beyond , to the end of thu building
there is cluios of boxed exhibits , half con
structed booths nnd buildings.
Soinolhlii of n Unhiding ,
The reference to buildings in progress of
construction in this big building may sug
gest to those who have not been hero only
small affairs , but when it is stated that the
golden eagles of Australia uro perched on
the top , if the towers , seventy feet In height ,
and when it Is known that u Now York
Jewelry Ilrm has the noble American bird on
top of a column 100 feet high , the subject
will us.suino a proper view to thu mnd. | Thu
great Iron arches tire Uio feet ubovo the floor ,
und there is room enough for Now York's
'J'xtnlty f.tecplo and moru too.
On the east side of the main ulslo at the
north end of the building there ls a settle
ment of black and gold buildings , which are
designed fur thn curious und "handy"
exhibits of Now Kngland. There was today
not an article in these boolhs. though New
Kngland ha.s ru'idy somu Individual exhibits.
Pennsylvania has us yet u meager s.Vw-
ing 01 anything save unopened' boxes.
The exhibit of noule.s is plat formed and
ready for the cnnvns covers to bu removed.
A pyramidal booth entirely covered -with
pluyli | ; cards is a novel feature on the floor.
A pyramid of trunks forming the booth for
om < Ilrm , U a feature,411111 u great pinto glass'
trunk , with burnished brass hluces and
mountings , constitute tha house of sonic
linn In travelers' articles. A monstrous
Move , hollowed und glided Inside , stands
with each of Its four legs upon n pedestal
und so forms a twenty-live foot high booth
for a Michigan steve Ilrm. The wall p pc-r
iruit has * lowering aud oruamesul strut-
ture , surmounted by a great eagle which
has the earth in his grip.

France , noble France , l perhaps the most
tardy In her preparation ! ) -not because she
has not been working , but because- she Is
doing so much and Is doing it so well.
Belgium is in u chaos of unopened boxes
and staging , with only one Case of pottery
und ceramics in place.
Canada's space is like the site of a village
in process of building ; .
.Switzerland and the Netherlands , poisibly
excepting Germain and Austria , are nearest
conditions they are working to attain.
Kngland'jipears to by largely represented
by heterogeneous products and individual
effort * . Belfast Is dr.iplng u pretty building
today. Around the great clock tower In the
center of the building there is a network of
scaffolding , and even now the chime of
sweet-voiced bells are being hoisted to their
places Just beneath tlio blgclock , that stands
KM ) feet above the Iloor. and will Indicate to
all thu llight of the hours.
u Hold ItllllT.
In the south end gallery the American
school exhibit Is being placed , though
dozens if booths for this department are yet
empty. Broadly speaking , the work of pre
paring facilities for showing boxed up goods
i.s now gninir forward under pressure and ut
least thirty da.\s would not bu too much time
in which all this great work will be done.
The authorities appreciate the situation , us
is evidenced by huge placards that were this
morning tacked up In ull parts of the M'liui-
fuelures and Arts building. They have this
alliterative headline in bijf bl-ick poster
tjpo : "Vim. Vigor , Victory. " Then follows
an exhortation to hasten preparations , and
at.thoclosothe.se words In bi < r type : " I'hero
is no such word as full. " Following Ibis Is Hie
announcement that the bulldini ; will ne sur
rendered to the sweepers and cleaner. } to
night.
Klrrtllclly llnlldl ,
Could AJax but stop into the portals of the
magnificent temple of electricity at the
World's Columbian exposition , ho would
scarcely have the audacity to defy the
modern lightniny , bridled us it is by science.
In this building eighty pieces of exhibits
have arrived , and according to u statement
prepared by Superintendent Barrett , sixty
pieces arc Installed. It Is also estimated by
Superintendent Barrett that the exhibits
will all bu In place and that the building will
be complete in its entirety within ten days.
Of the foreign countries hero represented
Germany will have the largest display. It
has 1,000 square feel of space. Franco
comes next with SI.000 square feet and Kug-
land third with O.OOU square feet ; Austria ,
Spain and Italy each have 1,000 squuro feet.
The United States leads them ail with 120 ,
000 square feot.
f''lnu Arts ( .iilldrlft * .
There Is less confusion in the Fine Arts
galleries , but tlio bulldini ; itself is not yet
linished. Today there is a hole about fifteen
feet In diameter in the top of the dome. 'I'ho
strong northeast wind which drove the ram
In blinding sheets sent clouds of white spray
dashing through ttic opening and down
ipon the main Iloor of thu building wus a
_ tend of water twcnty-tlvo feet in diameter.
In one end of this pond repjsod u little plas
ter cupid , who was soaking himself to death
with a hopeless pie is Hit smile on his
chalky face. All uro mil weru piles of lig-
urcs which had been hastily snatched
from the pelting rain which had
come through the unfinished dome.
Some of the men in charge of the
exhiolts said thut they would not unpack
their stuff until the roof had been entirely
repaired. In the space allotted to Austria
the work is very well along , there being but
u fo v pieces unhunir. The American pictures
are in poor shape , but few of them boinir up
on the wall , Spain is In wors" shups , there
being but little done in her department.
Italy nnd Belgium are in about the same con
dition , while Holland i.s in a fairway to have
everything in shape within a week. France ,
whoso exhibit Is very large , i.s In trouble and
It will take at least u fortnight for her work
men to have mailers in shape. The paintIngs -
Ings , as u rule , are better prepared for ex-
lilbllion than the sculptures. The number
of pictures In place i.s larger than were hung
at the centennial in 1870 , und Is enough to
satisfy any reasonable being.
The Mines and Mining building is simply
a wilderness of boxes , unfinished lionths und
unpacked exhibits. 11 will bo one month at
the inside before the building is in proper
order. Throughout the entire length und
breadth of the building liiere Is but ono
exhibit in complete readiness and that is tlio
ono which came from the furthest end of
the earth from Now South Wales. The
delay Is duo directly to the tardiness of
exhibitors In forwarding their goods. Tno
building was linished completely over eight
months ugo , nnd has been ready for ex
hibitors since that timo. The exhibits of
Utah nnd Idaho were al noon today nothing
but heaps of dirty boxes. Some of the boxes
had been unpacked , but not many , and
nothing had been done toward arranging the
exhibits. Brazil was in no better shape and
thu samples of the mineral wealth of Oregon
were concealed from sight in a massof dusty
cases , which were piled ono upon another in
indiscriminate confusion. New Mexico wus
In no better shape , while ( 'hill was far ahead
of any of the American states. Its exhibit
Is not yet arranged , but It Is gutting theru
very rapidly. i\ono of Iho oilier foreign
countries in this building are in nnylhlng
like presentable shape. Everybody was
working with all possible energy , but no
powers of men , no human ixiwcr , can carry
all the exhibits in the mining building before
May 'JO , and the force of men now there can
not do It before Juno.
Sltuuled on Iho island at the entrance
north of the lagoon is tlio Fisheries building- ,
a model of architectural beauty. The nov
elty of design extends to the interior , and it
Is doubtful If any exhibit on the ground will
bo looked upon with greater interest than
tills. The structure consists of a main build-
in ? and Iwo annexes extending to thu east
und west and connected by colonaded
boats. While the building is not massive ,
Its architecture is quaint and attractive.
The total length of thu building und an
nexes Is 1,100 feet , and the cost of erection
was $221,000. In the main building tnu dis
plays uro being rapidly placed In position.
Every variety of llsh , from the half vetfulu-
blu formations found at thu uottom of the
sea lo Iho mostuctlvo species known , may bo
seen , and will form a basis of interesting
study for those so inclined. All of the ux-
hlblts have not yet been received , nnd many
of tlioso in the building have not been un
packed. It Is asserted that every exhibit
will bo In Us place soon , but ttiu indications
are that It will require some active work to
arrange it in less than two weeks. Howovert
the doors nf the building will bo thrown
open for visitors after the opening exorcises
tomorrow.

Work has already boon bajrun upon the
"admlni.stratlvo" turllT bill which is to bo
run through congress at the extra session ,
which will bo called In September , under thu
spur of President Cleveland.
There uro to bo no hoirlngs by the house
committee on ways nnd mo.ins , as has been
been the custo.n when tariff bills are under
thocourseof preparation. Chainn in Springer
and Secretary Carlisle contend tint thuro
are in the room of the ways and moans com
mittee the testimony and statements of
manufacturer * ) , dealers and others intcr-
sted in the tariff , taken when the Mills ,
Mv'ICinlcy , Springer and other measures
vero prep uvil , and th.it they are sufllclent.
Circular letters have been sent out to inanu-
ucturers and others Interested , soliciting
heir views upontlicsubjectof tarilT revision ,
mil asking that their statements ho sub-
nltted at an early d ly in writing.
In the prep.iration of their new tnrill bill
Jlialrman Springer an 1 MCSSIM. McMlllln of
Tennessee , Wilson of West Virginia , r.nd the
one or two oth"r members or thu committee
viio are at work upon the bill with Secro-
.iry Carlisle , are depending almost wholly
ipon figures furnished them by D.ivid Wells
and some other democratic theorists who
icvcr manufactured a dollar's worth of
goods or pro luccd anything off paper. The
statements of the Treasury department are
ilso being stud led , for the condition of the
Inanccs of the country Is the most Important
'eaturoof the work. How to make cuts
nto the duties to meat the pledges of the
lomocratic party and at the same time not
c.'lucu the government's Income below the
'oquironients ' of current expenses Is the
; reatest obstacle in the way of the work ,
mil that Is the feature which all acknowl
edge Is to cause most trouble.
Your correspondent is able to outline some
of the most important features of the bill as
t will be reported to the house committee on
ways and means , and to vouch for its ac
curacy , the information coming from the two
"eading spirits who lire preparing the
ncusuro.
Wool Will Ilo Tut on the Free I..st.
Wool will bo placed on the free list nnd
.hero will bo a heavy cut In worsteds und
common woolens. This was promised in the
; ) arty platfor.i. Iron ere will goupou the free
Ist.and tin also. There will be a duty retained
upon pig iron , although scr.ip Iron may bo
made free. The duty on coal will either be
removed outright or cut in half ; probably it
will bo removed entirely. There will be a
ilg cut in lumber. The sugar bounty will
msitlvoly bo abolished. The duty on
Sumatra wrappersiiicrcnscdifroin"Scents tea
? a a pound by the MeKinloy bit ) to protect
the Connecticut tobacco industry , will bo
ibolished , us It is held that it helps thn pro
ducers in but two counties.
The sugar problem Is making much embar
rassment to the committee. It Is unani
mously agreed that the bounty shall be abolished
ished by the bill which will puss the house ,
although It is expected that It may bo put
[ jack again in the senate : but what to do
iboutadutyon the refined or gross article
is the question. Hellned sugar now pays a
: ialf cent per pound. This is done to protect
the labor involved In refilling. Haw sugar Is
ibsolutcly free. It is contended by the com
mittee that a half cent per pound can bo put
upon raw sugar and it will not increase the
Drico to the consumer , as that much , is now
nado by the trust through the duty on re
fined sugar. It is probable that u half cent
will be'placed upon the raw article. Sugar
is so popular that It affords a tempting
means of raising revenue.
Will Not MllUn a IllR Cut.
It can bo stated with posltlvenoss that the
reductions of duties upon thu leading articles
of manufacture will not be great. In the
Ilrst place thu revenue Is needed ; then it is
acknowledged that a ruinous cut could not
uu passed through either branch of congress.
By cutting off the sugar bounty about J18-
000,000 or J20OJOOUO annually will bo saved.
If a half cent a pound is added to tUo raw
article there will be put into the treasury
from the two sources of the ono article
sugar about $ -10,000,000 or $50,000.000 a year.
This gives a peed margin to begin with. The
reduction of thu duties on woolens and car
pets anil certain other articles will
stimulate importations and thus in
crease the revenues at the cost of
our industries. The increase of Importa
tions under decreased duties are being calcu
lated upon with a nicety. Wo are to have the
high wall around farming interests taken
down. The duties on eggs , poultry , cereals ,
live stock , etc. , are to bo cut in two. This
will have the effect of stimulating Imports
nnd increase the incomes. The high pro
tection afforded our farmers has almost cut
off revenues from that source.
Although thu bill will bu complete when
Congress comes together In September , It Is
not expected to go Into effect under ubout u
year from September or October. It will go
Into UiTcct six or ei ht months after It is ap
proved by the president. It is Intended to
have clauses which will enable manufactur
ers and dealers to get oat of the stocks on
bund und to adjust thumsulvus to the pro
posed now conditions before the law can ef
fect them.

Mr. Kdwurd Atkinson , the great tariff re
former. Is in Washington on a mission. Ho
has written n formal letter to Secretary
Carlisle requesting the suspension of the
payment of sugar bounties. Mr , Atkinson Is
rather hue in making this request if ho
hopes to accomplish any saving to the tax
payers , who , ho alleges , are being unjustly
taxed for the benefit of a special class.
Klght million dollars have already been paid
tills year under the MeKinloy law to sugar
producers and 37,000,000 were paid
lust year. However , it is Mr
Atkinson's. purpose to establish u
principle through legal proceedings in thu
supreme court. Mr. Atkinson's scheme Is
purely chimerical. Mr. Carlisle cannot
under the law , refuse the payment of the
sugar bounties. Ho can suspend payments
temporarily , but on the ground .set forth I'j
Mr. Atkinson , who forgets that un cxcut
tlvd'onlcer must carry out the laws as ho
finds them , without regard to his owi

zons earnestly recommended him , hut some
mvO gone so far during the past few hours
to make seine serious charges against
lioso prominent democrats who have pro-
cstcd against his appointment. Charles
Offutt has placed upon record at the Treas-
iry department a statement to the effect that
Juclld Martin , who had Voss' appointment
vtthdruwn the other day , was n trailer last
prinjt ; that he opiibsoJ Cleveland violently
ind that his opposition to Voss Is malicious ,
lo declares further , that the light being
nado against Voss * 'lll create lasting dlv-
sions in the democratic organization at
Omaha.
Ixiuis Helmrod , president of the German
caguc of Nehna kn , has filed n most earnest
endorsement of Voss. in which ho implores
the secretary of the treasury to stand by his
ipDointment , und says Voss Is the cholco of
ho German democrats of Nebiuska.
It would seem that the light pro and con
on Voss is to break out anew. There will bo

Sioux CITV. la. , April HO. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BKE.I , Iohn Mollugh. national
bank examiner , is in the city , cnrouto to
Nebraska , and , Incidentally , to loo.c Into the
recent failures hero and their effects on the
national banks. To a reporter Air. MellURh
said : "I did not come to Sioux City because
of the failures , but simply had to stop off
here cnrouto to Nebraska. It Is natural that
I should make some Inquiry Into local
conditions , anil I have done so.
I have talked with a number
of bankers and am satis lied that every na
tional bank in Slnux City is as solid us a
rock , and that none have been affected to
nny extent. The b-mkers of Sioux City uro
men of integrity und have hud \owt \ experi
ence and , ns n consequence , did not become
involved to a sufficient extent to involve
their Uusiners. I have known , too , that the
banks here determined to stand by each
other In this crisis und that one could not be
broken unless they all were , and th.U would
bo next to an itutiossioiltty. When I
Ilrst assumed the duties of my present posi
tion I made a tour of the national banks
of Iowa and found that they held about
! ? -IOOtX ) ( ) of paper given by tlio institutions
involved In the failures hero , which they
hud discounted on the representation that
thu Union Ioan and Trust company held
ample collateral to si-euro all the paper. I
doubted its value , anil while 1 had no au
thority to Investigate the company's affairs ,
I determined to do so If possible , und secured
the approval of the comptroller of the cur
rency in the undertaking. I came hero nnd
culled on the Union Ix > an und Trust company
und nsked Itsofllcersto lot me go over its col
laterals and s-itisfy myself of their value by
n personal inspection. The olllccrs rclused
to do-so und I communicated the fact to the
various national banks of the state. As n
result the holdings by the banks of the paper
Involved In the failures amounted to less
than $ 1.000 when the crash came , so that
the national banks of low.i were saved tlio
dlsgr.ico of failures and its people the ef
fects thereof. From what I have learned
since my arrival in the city , 1 am of the
opinion that thu failures uro the result of
excessive spec ulution and un unwarranted
boom in real estate values. 1 cannot see
that they have affected legitimate business
enterprises and do not understand why they
should. In a short time their effects will
have been wiped out and Sioux City will go
ahead , but with more conservatism than in
the past. "
A. O. Slaughter of Chicago , representing
the bondholders of the Union Slock yards , is
in the city and is working on the reorganisa
tion of thu cemp.iny. Indications uro that
ho will succeed and that the holders of the
$800,000 bonds will got control of the yards
and olTcct u reorguni/ation with a capital of

closely by the other members of the cabinet.
There hud been no formal announcement of
the president's intention to attend the

tlio seals for them , und his walking
up the also created something of u sensa

IxniAX.vroi.is , Intl. , April ! ! 0. A special to
.he Sentinel from Huntingbtirg , Ind. , says :
The scale of wages on which the coal miners
ill over southern Indiana have been working
for the past year expired with iho close of
yesterday's work , ' and on Monday the now
scale will bo presented nnd go into force in
such of the mines us have accepted it.
The acceptance of this scale by the miners
ivas not as unanimous as the mind owners
lad hoped for , und another strike is among
the probabilities of the next few days. The
men have been receiving pay ut the rate of
40 cents per .ton. und while this
rate would probably have been sutis-
fuctoryIf - the mines had been able *
to furnish steady work for all the men , the
tlino lost by all of them during tno year has
been considerable. With steady work u
good minor is able to make from $2.50 to S3
[ ) er day , but In some of the mines , especially
the smaller ones , the average will not roach
moro than half of that of other places.
It Is argued by the men that they should
Iiavo either u stated amount of work guaran
teed them or they should receive at least 4r >
cents per ton for the material taken out of
the mines. A score or moro minus in this
part of the state would be affected by a
strike , which , if general , would throw fully
1,000 men out of employment. A strlko In
this section would probably spread
to the Clny county minds , In which such se
rious trouble occurred two years ago. The
owners of the Ayershiro mines , the largest
in this purl of ths state , are preparing for
any kind of trouble and D. D. Knglo has
liromlscd the men at work the sumo pay as
workmen ut other mines receive. Owners
.ire following his example , und it is probable
that the advance will bo made without a
strike.

un unprecedented rate ull day , the muddy
waves climbing higher and higher with
steady , unabated speed.
At ( I o'clock last night the gauge stood ut
twenty -eight feet , und ut the same time to

of Friday and Saturday nnd thu great rlso
In the Gasconade und Osage rivers. A four-
foot further rise will cover thu lirst floors
from Vine to Morgan streets. Numerous

In the sowers. The lower lloors nf elovuto.-s
on both sides of tlio river uro inunduted und
the waves are rapidly rising to the second
floors. Stoimers from ubovo have consid
erable trouble in passing under the briduo.
Tlio situation in the American bottom ,
Venice and Brooklyn Is becoming critical
owing to the weakness of the levees ut vari
ous points.
A break is reported at midnight In the
Cahoki.i levee , by which a number of tnrms
on thu American bottoms were Hooded. A
good portion of Brooklyn Is also reported
under water at midnight. The various rail
ways have patrols walking their tracks to

Don't misunderstand. I am ii'it ' trying to

visitors from a distance are entitled to the
truth.
I'rldildly ltcioi'oi'l | ( , > /.rll. l : .
Chicago papers are patriotically il. > rif.\ lug
everything connected with thu fair , just as
Omaha or Now York newspapers would do
under similar circumstances. It doesn't fol
low thut the papers are misrepresenting.
I'ho alchemy of a friendly repurtonaleal
das touched their pens , uud the reader docs
the rest.
1 might , for example , speak of the Ne
braska buiKling as being severely plain and
stir Jaundiced souls to nervous distemper.
On the other hand 1 might write of Us style
of architecture as being classical , but not.
ornate , nnd then I might add u lull to the
Kite by mentioning columns , capitals , frie/es ,
entablatures , etc , each wiih its own pretty
adjective. That might give mo an undeserved
credit for learned profundity , and the
reader whose educational bins leads him to
exalt classicism Into a fetish might let his
Imagination play with lively satisfaction to
liimself. It makes a difference which end of
n telescope you put to the eye.
Thu average reader i.s criminally cureless
or in un eternal hurry , and if ho has ever ac
quired n measure for qualifying words und
lihrases he systematically neglects to use it.
I'o these people a theatrical performance , for
example. Is either rotten" or "out of sight , "
und they have "no use" for the honest critic
who Hnds something to commend and some
thing to condemn In plays good , oad and ill-
different.
Then , again , qualiilying phrases have rela
tive values. To speak of u tour-room cottugo
is being "almost" done is ono thing. To
apply tlio sumo term to the World's fair , an
enterprise that has employed thousands fur
years. Is different. Speaking relatively , the
nonster buildings at the fair wore "almost"
ompleted three months ato. ;
The exposition is a stupendous affair , nnd
I might reel off rhapsody ijy the yard und
Llnow off gush In great gobs , but I won't. It
is u grout enterprise , impressive In concep
tion , marvelous itrcxccutlon , and I am willIng -
Ing to lot it go ut that. But let mu give the
readers of TUB BKB a word of ml vice. If you
want to see much of anything but buildings ,
lagoons and green grass , don't visit Chicago
Liefore May 15. If you wish to see the fair in
nil its glory stay away until June.
