No matter how carefully one may hnvo
rend of the wonders of the World's Fair,
tiio visitor cannot conceivo of its great
magnitude, impressive beauty and in
tensely interesting character until lie
sits it.
Tho 1001 World's Fair is the only
great exposition to lie complete nnd ready
for tho opening of tho gates on the time
appointed. In a newspaper's limited
spueo it is absolutely impossible to de
scribe, or even catalogue, all of the fea
tures that will appeal to the visitor.
Tho Inside Inn solves one great prob
lem hotel accommodations. A month
before the opening this great hostelry,
with accommodations for 0,000 guests,
was rondv for the reception of guests.
It is tho largest hotel In the world, and
Is entirely within the exposition grounds.
Features of its equipment are 2,t00
Bleeping rooms. The kitchen is 2150 feet
Inn i. niul T'J foot whin. There are 81
font of ramie, thirty steam roasters, veg
ctable cookers and soup stock kettles;
four dish washing machines with a ra
pacity of 40,000 pieces of china an hour;
a battery of it" mainniolli couee urns
Thorn is a sub-kitchen, a laundry, a link
ery and a storo room, all in the base
ment. A force of 1.S00 trained employes
nrn renuirod to operate the hotel.
The rates prevailing at the inside Inn
nrn controlled bv the Imposition man
ngemcnt, nnd they do not exceed those
charged at any hrst-class Hotel in eh
Louis in ordinary times. On the Euro
nenn nlnn the World's Fair visitor may
be comfortably located for $1.50 per day,
inchnl nir ndnilss on to the exposition.
PrinnM fnr n liivnrinilH room With bath
range up to $.r per day.
Thirty-eight of the Stntes of the Union
hnvo erected magnificent club houses In
tho wooded section of Forest Parle, and
have created what is called the Plateau
of States. Every typo of approved ar
chitecture is represented. The World's
Fair visitor, no matter from what sec
tion, will find the hospitable portals of
these mansions always open to liini.
Despite the Immensity of the World's
Fair grounds, covering, as they do, 1,210
ncres two squuro miles every section
is of easy access. Thirty-live miles of
splendid roadway intersect tho grounds.
The Intrn-Murul Railroad, with 14 miles
of tracks, whisks the visitors to any sec
tion in rapid time on the payment of one
fare. The miniature steam railways
have 12 miles of track and complete the
most elaborate transportation scheme
ever designed for any exposition.
Tho Cascade feature of the World's
Fair, the center ol the "main picture,"
for beauty and grandeur totally eclipses
all the courts of honor of former great
expositions. Crystal waters, springing
from three monumental fountains, plunge
down as many cascades a distance of ()()
feet, with a fall of 80 feet, and outer
the grand basin. Here the waters di
vide and fill two miles of marble-revetted
lagoons two miles in length. Beautiful
and picturesque small craft ply these
waters and afford the World's Fair vis
itor an unrivalled view of the majestic
architecture of the splendid structure of
the main exhibit palaces.
Eleven million dollars will scarcely
cover the United States government's
participation in this greatest of all
World's Fairs. The government building
Ik the largest, handsomest and most ex
pensive ever built for exposition pur
poses by any government. In it are un
rivnlled displays by the Smithsonian In
stitute, the Navy, War, Postolllce, Treas
ury, Agriculture nnd other departments.
Tho display of big guns is made outside
of the building, and the largest and
most powerful guns ever made are
UNITED
mounted and manned by Uncle Sam's
most expert artillery men. The Govern
ment Fisheries, in one of the most grace
ful of the many handsome structures,
possesses exhibits of the keenest interest.
For the first time at any exposition a
real mint may be seen in operation at
the World's Fair, in the government
building, At the close of tho exposition
the machinery will he installed in the
mint nt Denver nnd will continue to
mnko real coin of the realm.
The Pike is the grout nmusemeut street
of the Exposition, nnd it is more than a
mile long. On both sides of the wide,
vitrified brick boulevnnl nro assembled
the shows of nil nntious. To attempt to
enumorato the grout list of Interesting
attractions would be to portrny all the
quaint customs of all the queer peoples I
of the world, together with the amuse
ments of the people of all lands. The
games of ancient Homo, tho dlvertise
inents of the Orient, the latest and
greatest creations of tho most famous
illusionists, the most comprehensive col
lection of wild and trained animals, and
all other forms of entertainment to
amuse and instruct find a place in this
unparalleled resort.
China, that most ancient of all nations,
whose development has heretofore been
shrouded in mystery, lifts the veil at
the 1004 World's Fair and displays her
progress and attainments. In the for
eign section the National Chinese pa
vilion is among the most striking. It is
a reproduction of .the residence of Prince
IlESTAUItANT PAVILION.
Pn Lun. of the royal blood, and that po
tcntate is at tho head of the Chinese
Commission to tho World's Fair and
presides in person. China's exhibit
largely confined to the Palace of Liberal
Arts, one of tho magnificent exhibit
buildings. The pavilions are all of co
lestial design and make and the Chinese
section is a veritable forest of typical and
ideal pagodas. They contain exhibits of
Chiiicso manufacture never before seen
outside of tho Flowery Kingdom.
England, Franco and Gormnny have
all reproduced historic buildings as (heir
national pavilions at the World's Fair.
The Orangery, the Grand Trianon and
the Castle at Charlottenburg represent
three of the most famous and beautiful

hibit palaces. Hivalry between them is
keen and each government has expended
more thnn n million dollars that their
resources and national achievements may
be exploited.
Italy has erected a charming villa on
n prominent site south of the Adminis
tration building, nnd has surrounded it
with typical Italian gardens. Italy nmkca
n strong showing in art. The 400 point
ings displayed in the Italian section were
selected from 4,000 pnlntlngs offered by
the Italian artists.
The Pnlnco of Agriculture is the larg

tain a single department. It covers -J
acres and every foot of lloor space is
crowded with exhibits from every Stnto
in the Union and Bl foreign nations. iuv

this great structure.
Tho Palaco of Transportation is
crowded with a collection or exiiuma
of unrivaled interest. Here may bo seen
the first steam locomotive over built ami
in the same building is a modern locomo
tive mounted on a monster turntable.
The engine runs at tho speed of 80 miles
per hour, but the motion is tnuen up
by a series of wheels and the snorting
mntiPter remains stationary. There, nro

Tim Pliillimliii. i.xhibit is niuue at n
cost of more than a million dollars. Forty

Here have been erected villages of the
various tribes, and they are inhabited by
more than a thousand natives. Many
historic Filipino buildings hnvo been re
produced. A section of tho walled city
of ancient Manila Is a feature. W orld s
Fair visitors may enter the Philippine
exhibit without extra cost.
The North American Indians form tho
basis for a most interesting exhibit pro
vided by the United States government.
Indian villages as they were two hun
dred years ago are reproduced and they
are inhabited by real Indians in the pic
turesque garb of their forest homes.
Among the famous chiefs at the Exposi
tion nro Chief Joseph and Geronimo. A
modern Indian school, with a full corps
of instructors, explains how the United
States government has educated and civ
ilized tho Indian.
No exposition has ever possessed tho

of d.i. iirnsnnt. World's Fair. In the
Cascade region alone is displayed stat

World's Fair Palaces of Agriculture and
Horticulture. On the east side of Agri
culture Hall is a ten-acre rose garden
South of it is the aquatic section, where
the lilv of the Amazon and the lotus of
the Nile are star features. Adjoining

Tlint Acid Trouble.
Colusa, Cal., April 18. Much has
been mild nnd written recently about
I rlc Add in the system; what causes
it nml how to get rid of It. It is known
to be the first cause of Hhouinutlsni
and mtiiiy other diseases, and lias
therefore received a great deal of at
tention from medical men.
Mr. 1 1. F. Moulton of this place
claims that he lias solved the problem
of how to get this acid out of the sys
tem. He says:
"I had this ucld trouble myself for
yearn. At lime the Kidney secretions
would be very profuse and at other
limes scant, but tho add was always
my greatest trouble. Medicine fulled
to cure me till at last I heard of a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and after taking a box 1 neemed to bo
entirely cured. However, It came back
on uiu and this time I took several
boxes with the result that 1 was com
pletely and permanently cured. This
was three years ago, and I have not
had a single symptom of the add trou
ble since. I am 7r years of age, and I
am well as ever 1 was."

terrible; it would bo Impossible to de
scribe it. During the last three years
I had convulsions, from which the only
relief was the use of morphine.
"I had several physicians, nearly all
of whom advised me to stop drinking
lea and coffee, but as I could take only
liquid foods I felt 1 could not live with
out coffee. I continued drinking it until
I became almost insane, my mind was
affected, -while my whole nervous sys

foro I was nenollted by the change,
my system was so filled with coffeo
poison. It was not long, however, be
