At the exposition grounds yesterday all
nature seemed to smile. The mud that was
tbo result of tbo rain of the preceding day
bad drlc'l up and left the streets and walka
in perfect condition. This rain had also
brlghtcued up the lawns , giving them an
appearance that indicated a < May freshness ,
whllo the flowers in the numerous beds at
a distance looked like so many bright gems
in their settings of emerald. In the trees
upon tbo Uluff tract the birds sang their
merry carols , keeping tlmo to the music
of the lawnmowcrn that were pushed over
the sward , shaving it down until it was as
smooth as a parlor floor.
The rays of the morning sun were not
penetrating , but toward noon the tempera
ture started In on a sudden rise and kept
moving upward until the old haymaker had
crossed the zenith , when light clouds drifted
in with the gentle breeze , rendering the re-
tnalnder of the day delightfully cool and
pleasant.
Ono thing that was remarked upon ycster
Hay was the- number of strangers on the
grounds , nearly all of whom were people
from a distance. Many were tourists , on
their way to the mountains , whllo others
were people who came to do the exposition
and remain several days. Of the latter class
n number had their families. They ex
pressed themselves as being well pleased
( With tbo exposition , and ventured the pro-
'diction that as soon ns the harvest is over
the attendance will bo large.
The exposition people are looking forward
lo a larce attendance this afternoon. In
the city the afternoon is practically a holi
day , the offices , shops and wholesale houses
closing at noon. Owing to this fact it Is
expected that those employed in the es
tablishments heretofore mentioned will bo
In attendance to take in the races , which
nro carded for 2:30 : o'clock. A field of
npocdy horses has been entered , nnd ns
the traek is In fine condition , some good
tlmo Is expected.
Word has "been " received from Pine Hldge
lo the effect that the Indians have left
there and that they will reach the city this
morning. There are soventy-fivo in the
party , and with them they are bringing
their ponies and camp equipment. Upon
tholr arrival they will pitch ithelr tents on
the vacant lot south ot the Transportation
building. _
OP MANY NOTED AUTISTS
Fine Ar < IJtillillnir Filled irllh Pic
tare * thnt Attract Attention.
Of all the ( buildings on the exposition
t Crounds none attracts moro attention than
i the one which houses the 1,000 or moro
paintings , water colors and statuary. Super
intendent Key has worked incessantly dur
inc the last month and has succeeded in
gathering and hanging a collection ot gemr
of art that are admired by all -who vlsl
iho building. The Fine Arts building I
always a favorite resting place after peopli
have spent hours tramping about the grounder
or throuch the corridors of the other build
ings. There the ceilings are high and th
exits numerous , so that the air is always
cool and refreshing. Overhead the skylight
nro painted a soft color , so that the glan
ot the sun is shut off , yet there Is nothing
to Interfere with the admission of the light
IMlMhrougK the building ore highbacked
teats for the tired to occupy and rest whllr
looking at and admiring the pictures.
tAs la well known the building contain
numerous rooms or galleries , all connectei
by wide openings. So far as possible , pic
turcs that are somethlnc alike in coloring
nd whorn the subjects have a similarity are
hung in separate rooms.
Whllo the pictures may be seen to the
Ibest advantage durlne the day , they may
also bo viewed at night , as all of the gal
leries are brilliantly Illuminated , the lights
toeing so arranged that they throw their
rays upon the pictures beneath. In front of
hn nlfUiros at a dtatanco of three feet rail-
ings have been placed in order that visitors
may not crowd onto the gems.
Between the two sections of the building
Ihero Is an open court , in which flowers nnd
palms have been planted , while In the cen
ter a fountain te located , throwing out a
stream of clear , sparkling1water during the
entire day , giving freshness to the atmos
phere , as well as making It delightfully
cool. In this open court pieces of statuary
in bronze nnd other material have been set ,
//r Kivlng the whole a very imposing nppear-
\7 \ cuico.
> In the Now York collection a lareo paint
ing on the south wall entitled "Summer , "
! a especially pleasing. The sunllcht of n
summer day falls strong on the grass In the
distance , whllo It filters and flickers through
the leaves nnd branches of the orance trees
upon the arms and draperies of the grace
ful forms of the feminine gatherers of the
golden fruit who are grouped near the well
In the foreground.
Another gem In this collection is a marine
scene by Sheppard. An expanse of sea nnd
sky Is lighted by a full moon , whose beams
fall glimmering on the dark , rolling water.
The largest painting In the Knoedlor col
lection , nnd one that attracts much atten
tion , Is by Paul Jobert , nnd Is entitled "In
tbo Fog , " Two fishermen In n boat are
depicted as suddenly beholding the prow of
n. largo vessel bearing down upon them out
of the dense fog , which is lighted only by
hn fnlnt Iridescent colors of a rainbow
that falls between them and approaching
danger.
Another marine scene , realistic from the
effect of wind and ntorm , shown by the
churning , frothy waves and billowing sails
Endorsed at Home
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Omaha Citizen ,
The public endorsement of a local citizen
it the best proof that can be produced. None

SCENES ALONG TI1E MIDWAY.
German Vlllnnc Thrown ItH Door *
Open to tlic Public.
Whllo the German village has been doing
business for a number of days , the formal
opening has never been held. Today the
function will occur , and it ia promised that
It will be ono of the pleasant events upon
the iMIdway. The village is located on the
Dluff tract and covers nearly an acre of
ground with Us pavilions , halls and kitchens.
Today a brass band will be In attendance
and will alternate with the vocalists In fur
nishing music. 'Henri ' Cannon , the fat man
who tips the scales at C50 pounds , will be
present to entertain the guests. All women
attending the opening will bo given little
presents which will enable them to remem
ber the date and the event.
The exhibition of deep sea diving given
by Captain Sorcho last evening was wit
nessed by a large delegation of photogra
phers , who expressed much surprise at the
feats performed. The captain went down
Into the tank as usual , heavily weighted
with lead and worked under the water nearly
half an hour , sending up pieces of wreck
age , the work being identical with that
performed In the ocean and the lakes.
Over at tha Streets of Cairo Fatima Is
doing the same dance turn that pleased and
amused to many last season. The woman
is retarded as a human top , being able to
spin around on her toes , making 107 revo
lutions per minute. While doing the whlrl-
Inc act she carries two flags , the American
nnd the Cuban , and their appearance never
falls towin a hearty round of applause.
The doors to the Philippine village are
kept locked these days , none being ad
mltted while the workmen are putting on
the finishing touches In the theater and
around the lake and the palm garden. The
people and animals for the village are ex
pected to arrive in the city not later than
Tuesday , after which the concession - "
be opened to the nubile.
All of the soldiers who served in the Cuban
campaign are greatly impressed with the
spectacular on the West Wildway , showing
Hobson sinking the Merrlmac In the har
bor of Santiago. The little theater IB run
upon what Is known as the electric plan.
There is a background , which shows the
bay , the harbor and the mountains eur-
rounalnc it. un ono 01 inese , COUIIUUUUIUK
the entire bay , Is grim old Moro castle.
The tlmo of the scene Is laid at night. The
American fleet Is out at sea and it Is decided
to bottle up Cervcra and his ships. Hobson
suggests that the ble collier , the Merrlmac ,
bo run into the harbor , dynamited and sunk.
The plan Is accepted and volunteers are
called for. There are 1.600 men ready to
go , but as only a few are needed , seven
nro selected , none ot whom ever expect to
return alive. They board the collier and
steam away. As they near the mouth of
the harbor a tropical thunderstorm comes
on. The lightning flashes across the pic
ture and over the water , whllo the thunder
sounds and resounds In a most realistic
manner. Finally the storm clears up and
the Merrlmac can bo seen steaming close
to the shore , while the guns of Moro open
fire , but are unable to get the range. As
the big boat wheels Into place there Is an
explosion and the craft Is seen to sink , while
little figures representing the men , Jump
over the rail and swim toward the shore.
Tbo show entitled "At the Cross" mysti
fies nearly all of those who visit it. While
It Is designated by the name heretofore
mentioned , it might moro properly bo called
the "DlBsolvlng Woman. " With the room
brilliantly illuminated , a woman comes upon
the stage and kneels at the foot of a white
cross , her hands grasping the arms. As
ono looks at her figure , the outlines become
dim and she gradually disappears , so com
pletely that nothing but the cross Is seen.
An Instant later she Is seen upon the op
posite of the cross and gradually she comes
back to the original popsltlon , but how or
when no person other than those connected
with the illusion knows.
At the Artist's Studio Artist Klnnoy con
tinues to entertain large crowds of people
by painting the full-sized figures of his
models. Already ho has covered a dozen
sets ot canvas and last night started upon
another. The painting of the nude Is some
thing that Interests the professional artists
and It is seldom that a show Is given when
there are not a dozen around , watching the
work.
The Mgh-dlvo carnival opened to a big
house last night and dld'a great business all
of tbo evening , The Idea ot a man Jumping
Into a tank of water from & height of 105
feet is something that has not often been
attempted In these parts. At the carnival
a man does this half a dozen times each
evening and does not seem to suffer any
Inconvenience from the Jump. After he
leaves his perch he gqes down like a shot
and splashes the water up fully forty feet.
Ho declares that the experience of shooting
through the air 1s novel and pleasant.

There Is a good deal of Interest being
felt In the horse races that are to bo pulled
off on the half-mile track on the exposi
tion grounds at 2.30 o'clock this after
noon. Since the rain of Thursday the track
has been scraped and rolled , and Is now in
prime condition. It is as smooth and level
as a billiard table and is said to have Just
enough spring to give the horses good speed.
On the card there are three races two
pacing and one running all mile heats.
The first pacing race will be ot the 2:20 :
class n Itb. flve entrlei. For thia * puno of

The Venetian carnival was repented upon
the Lagoon Friday night andt made a great
hit. ' The music was listened to by thousands
who lined the banks ot the little sheet of
water. Seats extended entirely around all
of ' that portion of the Lagoon , east of the
bridge and all of them were filled , while
hundreds rode In boats that floated upon the
bosom of the little lake" , or gathered In
round the harbor. The scene was beautl-
illy Illuminated and in addition to the clcc-
rlc lights hundreds ot Japanese lanterns
ore festooned eiong the walls ot the La-
; oon.
The music for the occasion was furnished
iy Godfrey's band , the Indian band and the
lawatlan club , the members of the latter
rganlzatlon singing such popular Ha *
rallan airs as "Nlnlpo , " "Walpunalau" and
Alohaoc. " The Hawallans occupied one of
ho bis gondolas and were poled up and down
ho Lagoon , singing and playing upon gul-
ars , mandolins and flutes. Tlmo and again
hey were encored and each time they re
sponded.
The universal opinion prevails that the
members of the Hawaiian quartet are as flno
Ingcrs as have been heard upon the cx-
K > sltlon grounds and the mere announcement
.hat they will sing in public Is sufficient
o bring out a crowd.
In carrying out tbo plan of the carnival
ast night the two bands alternated , whllo
ho Hawallans filled In with the features ,
n addition to the singing ot these people
a number of the Indian 'boys rendered eev-
ral vocal selections that were received In
a most enthusiastic manner.

The surveyors of customs at San Fran-

order has been issued by the Treasury de
partment directing the Immediate trans
portation of the Filipino exhibit from San
Francisco to Omaha , In bond , and upon their
arrival in Omaha they will be Inspected by
.he customs officials. These Filipinos ar
rived in San Francisco on the transport In
diana and were not permitted to land by the
customs authorities on the ground that they
wore contract laborers and not actors. An
appeal has been taken from this decision ,
and Commissioner Powdcrly will render a
decision tomorrow. In all probability ho
will allow the Filipinos to carry out their

Last Friday the executive committee
ordered all the seats removed from the
Transportation building and distributed
around the Lagoon. That day men were
employed In distributing the seats and in
putting them up. Most ot the work was
completed , but since then not a seat has
been touched and nir along the Lagoon seats
are scattered ntiout In the - - con
dition in which they were when received from
the factory. People who visit the grounds
remark upon this matter and express the
opinion that someone should he responsible
for the shiftless manner In which It baa been
attended to.
x I'nbllc Reception mill Opening ; .
The Fine Arts building will be formally
opened to the public next Tuesday evening ,
when a reception will be held In the galler

tween now and then. The building is now
open and the pictures may be inspected at
any hour of the day.

Crouuiln SpckH Itcvenerc ,
A watchman named Dloomflcld , employed
by Manager Craven of the Pain's spectacular
fireworks on the exposition grounds , was
assaulted Thursday night by a young fellow
named Ben Willis , but was not seriously
hurt in the conflict.
Since the opening of tbo exposition Willis
has been employed as'one of the Spanish sol
diers who take part In the spectacular exhi
bition of Pain's Battle of Manila. Tuesday
night Ykben the display was given Willis
failed to report and Manager Craven Issued
an order that his pass be taken up by the
natcbman on presentation. Thursday night
Willis appeared at the gate near the Ore-
works enclosure ready to report for duty.
Ho uas notified by Watchman Dloomfleld
that his place bad been tilled and bis pass
was taken up , after he had been refused ad
mittance ,
Young Willis Imagined that he had been
Insulted and the thought rankled In his
breast. With revenge as hU motive he
knocked at the gate of the fireworks en
closure about 11:30 : o'clock Thursday night.
Dloomfleld , who was still on duty , peered out
of the gate and received a terrific blow on
the bead from a gun In the hands ot Willis.
He recovered Instantly from the shock and
wrested the weapon away from the hands
of the young fellow , who Immediately dis
appeared. An exposition patrolman ap
peared on the scene at this juncture and
search wag Instituted for Dloomfleld's assail
ant , but ho had been swallowed up by the

ItcnxoriM for the Slei > He
linn TnUcii.
.
Kcv. Vyrnwy Morgan has resigned lha
pastorate of the First Uapttst church ot this
city. This step Is caused by the serious'
Illness of Mrs. Morgan , who Is now at Hot
Springs , S. D. , receiving treatment. The
following letter from Mr. "Morgan " sets forth
hla reasons at length :
UIOT SPRINGS , S. D. , July 27 , 1S99.
To the Church and Congregation First llap-
tlst Church. Omaha , Nob. : Dear Mr. Lan-
sine In the absence ot the secretary , who ,
ns I understand Is out of town , I drslro to
say through you that I have received the
following letter dated July 22 , and which
explains Itself :
" 'HOT SPRINGS , 8. D. , July 22 , 1809.
Rev. Dr. V. Morgan , Rev. and Dear Sir :
In accordance with your request for an ex
pert opinion relative to the stale ot Mrs.
Morgan's health , we beg to report that wo
have made a thorough examination and have
come to the conclusion that she suffers from
a complication of diseases and Unit she
is In a very critical and serious condition.
Our diagnosis of the case stands ns follows :
Pulmonary tuberculosis , secondary heart
disturbances.
" 'Wo arc of the opinion that Mrs. Mor
gan was Ill-advised In locating In Ne
braska , that climate bclnc unsuitable for
her , and wo arc emphatic In advising that
a return to that state , with the exception
of Chadron , would be fatal to her Interests.
Hot Springs suits her for the present. Her
condition la such that she could not stand
oven for twenty-four hours such a high
altitude as Colorado Springs. Wo advlso
n gradual ascent. When a change becomes
necessary toward the fall It should lie to
Arizona or to New Mexico. The state of the
heart and other complications render It
necessary that she be spared all excitement
and responsibility and should bo constantly
: ared lor , and she needs the most nourish-
ne food. There Is ono favorable symptom
wo have noted ; she possesses wonderful
power of resistance and may be depended
upon to Intelligently co-operate with her
physicians.

The doomful strain of this letter makes
It Impossible for me to hope to assist my
wife as I should , while at the same time to
do my full duty to the church of which I
am the castor. 1 am arranging to take tny
wife to Crotte's Institute for treatment : It
will take about three months.
Tender * HI" Il
"I desire , therefore , to Inform my church
and congregation that my ministry will ter
minate with the expiration of my holiday ,
August 31 , 1899. Mrs. Morgan urged me to
take this step In the month of May last , but
my heart was set in building a new church
at Thirty-fifth and Farnam and I hope the
First church will carry It through.
"My wife Joins mo In thanking you and
your noble wlfo for your courtesy and con
stant fidelity during a period of unusual de
pression and manifold difficulty. We feel
grateful to those friends in the church who
have encouraged us by their prayers and
sympathy. Wo also desire to make mention
of those citizens of Omaha who have honored
us with ft Targo measure 'Of ' confidence and
affection. I greatly appreciate this , for no
man worthy ot the name can look forward
to the prospective loss of a wife such aa the
one God In His goodness has given me with
out deep and sacred emotion. Fop many
years she has preached and devoted the
greater part of her tlmo to evangelistic
work and I can assure you that she feels very
keenly the denial of opportunity occasioned
by her long-continued Illness. We did no'
seek this field of labor and It was the medl
cal assurance that she would be bonefitei
by the cllmato of Omaha ; that was the main
factor In the decision , coupled with the hope
and belief that we might bo the means o"
accomplishing some good.
"Like other ministers , I have bad my fair
Ings and disappointments , but God will b (
your judge and mine. 'How shall we stand
when He appeareth1
"While loyal to my own faith and dcnom
ination I am in full sympathy with all tha
Is enlightened and solid in human progress
The kingdom of God is broader than any
sect or creed.
"As a preacher I have tried to live within
the shadow and glory of the cross. The tcn-
of man has never haunted me. To mo thi
pulpit Is pre-eminent. Preaching stands firs
and foremost ; it Is the chief means ordained
of God for the conversion of mankind ; and
I am thankful for the many assurances
which I have received in Omaha that mj
preaching has made God , life and sin mor
reaf to many.
"Please permit me to say that this reslgna
lion releases me of $500 or so remaining out
of the $1,000 which I pledged toward the
new church.
"And now my wife and I say to you fare
well. Let us hope that through His saving
grace wo shall meet In the land of the yel
low harvest , where the sunshine will always
prevail over the shadow. Yours faithfully ,
"VYRNWY MORGAN. "
