Wasiiinoton, March 3. Having lieon
out to Chicago to seo tho World's fair
grounds ami buildings I liuvo hoiiiu go.
eip to tell you that in not particularly
related to nffuirs at tho national capital.
Chicago is without question tho most
interesting city in the world. It in u
marvel in Itself, 11 source of continual
amazement to Its visitors, hut in itH
World's fair it has u different sort of
marvel, n distinct and quick creation,
typical of Chicago itself and yet as
broad mul many sided an tho world for
vh6so use and ' entertainment it is in
tended. I am not going to describe to you the
World's fair grounds n thoy aro today,
except to nay that the progress made
thero amazed and delighted all tho sen
ators and representatives from Wash-
to see them. Statesmen who went thero '
suspicious, distrustful, fearful that tho
exposition was to bo something local or
provincial; that its art and architecture
wero to be Cliicngocsquo, or that things
were to bo cheap and undignified, canio
away full of enthusiastic admiration for
what has leen done and confidence in
what remains to bo performed. .
Chicago is essentially a city of superla
tives. It is tho city of "tho greatest."
It has had tho greatest growth known
among all the municipal communities of
tho world. It is greater than any other
concreto city in area. It is greatest in
parks and in lKmlovnrds. It is greatest '
in tributiiryniilwiiy mileage, ono-fourth
of all tho railway tracks of tho world
meeting within its limits. It is greatest
in grain, in livo stock, in lumlicr. It is
crroiliftuf 11 tllltilluil nf v.iuunlu 1mitifr '
and arriving' at its iiort. It has the
greatest hotels, the greatest auditorium,
the tallest buildings. It has the great
est newspapers in tho world, is tho great
est subscription look publishing center,
and on tho authority of Edwin Arnold
has tho most perfect newspaper building
and plant on tho globe.
These aro only a few of tho greatest
things which Chicago has, and while one
stands aghast at tho great monotolies
and great fortunes which sho is building
up, it is comforting to reflect that sho
will also soon have two of tho greatest
libraries in America the Nowlwrry und
the Crerar and that in the Chicago
university, which John D. Rockefeller
has just endowed witli another million
dollars, sho is building up with charac
teristic energy one of the greatest insti
tutions of(learning on this continent.
By long odds tho best of her greatest
things 1b Chicago's public spirit. For
tunately indeed is alio in ossession of
this suiorlative. Famed throughout tho
country is Chicago for her propensity to
brag. Who has not heard of Chicago
"wind?" I3ut when you go to thut city.
and see what Chicago "wind" really is J
you iiko it. it is genuine love ior aim
prido in his city which leads tho typical
Chicagoan to boast, wherever and when
ever ho finds opportunity, of the grcut
ness and the achievements of tho munic
ipality tu whichho owes allegiance sec
ond only to that which ho owes to tho
stars and stripes.
In Chicago public spirit is tho rule and
not tho exception. The men who have
nothing but their day'swork to 'depend'
npon join hands with tho men who lfavo
made their tens of millions in working
forf Chicago. At Jackson pfirk, when
the ( visiting statesmen ami journalists
wero iiisjiecting the World's air prepa
rations V saw II. -N. Higinbothnm, tho
financier of tho firm of Marshall Field
& Co., which does an annual business of
$40,000,000 a year, and who is himself a
millionaire, walking sido by side und
arm in arm with Bob Nelson, tho la
bor, leader, who probably doesn't own, a
thousand dollars in" tho world.
rAt tho Commercial club's banquet
Philip D. Armour and Senator Poller
sat sido by sido ono tho twenty million
aire packer, tho other tho high priest of
tho Farmers' Alliance. Chicago, yon
see, is a city of contrasts as well as su
perlatives. This public spirit brings men
of all sorts and conditions together.
Whero is thero another city whose
millionaires, business and professional
men would give up their own affairs
month after month for tho public good,.
as tho men of Chicago have lieen doing
rinco tho World's fuinwork was started
in earnest? Whllo1 in Chicago' I vyas
much impressed by tho energy and i elf
sacrifice of prominent men in the cause
which now lies near their hearts. A
hundred of tho most successful inou of
tho city left their business to escort the
visitors alout in Jackson park. The
Commercial club, which is composed of
forty millionaires, gave tho city's guests
a magnificent banquet, and every one of
tho millionaires was thero. Thos'o aro
the men who havo built up Chicago.
Their work of planning and scheming
could not be laid asido altogether even
for the pleasures of tho table, and I no
ticed many consultations going on in
quiet corners. About 1 o'clock in the
morning, as tho guests wero dispersing,
Mr. Fred Peck, that Chicago man of
matchless oiiergyaiid public spirit ,whodUHt.f ,,ia,1(i bomniful things man hath
built the famous Auditorium, said it
tno:
"You don't know how hard wo are
working out hero. Tomorrow, for in
stance, 1 havo three World's fair com
inittoo meetings to attend. Tho first is
at 10 a.m. and will keep mo two.hours.,
Tho second is at I p. in., and if I get
away ut 3 I will Iw luckv Tho third
moots at 3 and will fill out tho aftor
noon. This is tho way wo are working
for tho fair and have beon working for
year and a half. Wo not only sub
scribe our money, but. givo; our time,
without payorjonu of any MnM fry,
ward than the satisfaction of Miftving
performed a public duty, The men of
Chicago feel that thojr city's reputation
is at stake in this 'matter, that tho honor
of tho American reptu llo ha lieon com
mitted to thiilr care, and they aro strug
gling manfully under tho burden of ro
sensibility. Tho men who nro doing
tho bulk of tho work are men who do
not expect to reap a dollar of lieucflt,
directly or indirectly, from tho exposi
tion." What would you expect n World's ex
position to lie in city of such men i3
these? Another suorlativo, another
"greatest on earth," of course. It is
witli tills feeling you go down to Jack
son park to seo what has boon done
there. Your expectation!! aro already
high. But In 11 moment, nf ter a rapid
survey of tho scene, you lift your hands
in amazement whllo your brain in v.iln
endeavors to ovolvo an ndjectlvo befitting
tho occasion.
At least that is tho way it was with
ne. who mil nnttirallv enthusiastic! hut I
--., ... - -
it was so also witli such cold blooded
men as Senators I'olTor. Shoun and Gal-'
linger, and Representatives Enloe, Cool
idgo, Jerry Simpson ami scores of other.
Tongu'o cannot tell nor ien doscrilio tho
scene on the shores of Lake Michigan in
Jackson park. Even tho graphic art
fails, and pictures are hut suggestions
of tho magnitudo and magnificence there J
found. It out Chicagos Chicago out-:
superlatives tho superlative
1 am not iroiuir to ntteinnt to describe
it, but I will hint nt It. Imagine n
square milo or more of ground wlihih
less than two years ago was for tho most
part a swamp. Chicago passes over it
tho wand of her magic energy, and now I
you Isjhold a dozen palaces rearing their
roofs toward tho sky. Tho swamp is
converted into a park. Lagoons and
wooded islands emlielHsh tho landscape. I
Hundreds of miles of sowers, water
ca----c-. --,- .
mains, gas pipes, electric conduits aro
put in it is liko creating a city in a
night. J
A police forco with a hundred patrol
men is organized, a tiro department with
a half dozen fully equipped engine
houses provided. Ten thousand men
work on grounds and buildings. Only
ono of these great palaces is nearly com
pleted, and it is a characteristic of essen-'
tlully modern, alert, adaptable Chicago
that tliis ono is a silent tribute to, this, I
woman's golden era tho Woman's build
ing. Other palaces aro half done, one
quarter done or just begun. Tho floor
of ono is so vast that a dozen United
States Capitols could lw set down upon
it "larger," says Senator Poller, "than
tho farm I used to till. in Indiana."
In another is a steel arch larger than
any other erection of a similar kind in
tho world. Crowning still another is to
lie a donio greater and grander than tho
dome of tho Capitol or St. Peter's. One
is to have u doorway of solid 18-carat
gold and a companion door of solid
silver. At every step now wonders un
fold till the visitor, stopping to kick
sonio mud off liis lwots and assuro him- j
self ho is not in fairyland, asks if these i
stppentloiiH plans can be carried out, if
tho giant buildings can ever bo finished
in timo for tho opening day.
In tho Woman's building n map of tho i
grounds is hung upon tho wall. A big,
strong man, 'miifllcd in n greatcoat,
stands beforo it, pointer in hand, ex-'
plaining to tho visitors tho landscape1
and architectural designs. lie is Chief
Constructor Eurnham, and in this forest
of palaces, this cluster of superlatives
upon which 10,000 men nro working,
thero does not apjiear to Imj a stone, u
brick, a truss, a spike, a timber which
he has not Wore him in his mind's eye.
Instinctively tho audience concludes
and whifi'iHjrs one to another, "Thero is
a Chicago man; see how he grasps
ovorythiifg; ho 1b master of tho situa
tion.' And when, a moment later, Mr
Burnham modestly says all these build-,
ingswill bo ready for dedication noxt1
October and for occupancy two or three
mouths later, .there is not. a doubting
Thomas within sound of, his voice,,
more is universal, agreement mat' u
this masterful man, this typical Clii-'
cagoim, says so, tis so.
Bast of all is'no't tho magnitude, nor
the' matchless sjieed with which work is
driven, nor tho gold door, nor the super
lativo steel arch und gilded dome big
things wo o-iwct of Chicago. Tho best
is tho art'and the beauty of every detail,
every effect. Not only is Chicago build
ing on a vast scale, but she is building
with an artistic sense, in form and color,
with dignity, with impressivoness, with
every structure and every integral part
thereof perfectly adaptnblo to the func
tion required of it. Art is old and Chi
cago is young; but Chicago was wice
enough to trust not to herself, but to
cull her architects from ull parts of
America ami her artists from ull tho
schools in tho world.

A Pt'ii Sketch nf Cornur Norllien.
W. J. Northen, present governor of
Georgia, is one of tho most widely known
and jsipular men in the south, lie is n
fanner by occupation, and takes great
prido in rearing flue cattle and raising
tine crops. For some years lie contested
with the late Hon. Primus Jones the
honor of "getting tho lirst bale of cotioiu

Popularity of Par.
Fur continues to (frow In popularity.
On some of the new walking drcwe jt
Is used In a band three or four Inches
wide around tho skirt, with a narrow
band nf Itmslnn braid woven In gold,
silver, and blnelt on either side of It,
A similar trimming Is around the neck
and at tho wrists of the sleeves. With
k dress thus trimmed, a Russian belt
is ludbponsable.: It is made of raws of
the ltutslnn braid sot together and
studded with metal null-heads, lined
with silk, and fastened with a single or
double metal buckle. This Is much
less costly t inn the genuine Russian
belt or metal. To what I have previ
ously said In regard to trimming
evening gowns with fur, I must add tho
caution that it Is an ornnmont for rich
women only. Clu'np dyed and Imita
tion furs would be In the worst possible
taste for such use. Some of the fur
bands used for trimming dresses are laid
on bands 'of bias velvet, which extends
beyond tho fur at the edges. Feather
bands aroused In the same manner, and
some of tho-y now out are extremely

Corselets of Jet almost as deep as ft
peasant bodice are among tho mid-
wlnl.-r n .veltles, Th.-y are made of
rows of jet galloon cl-noly fitted around
tho figure, and are MJiuollmes com
pleted by shoulder straps of the gal
loon. There are also bretulles of jet
going up over the shoulders from a
nurrow belt or a glrdlu of jet, whllo
other gowns, notably ono of light tan

corsolet of jet on tho front of the cor

For the evening coiffure illustrated,
the hair is divided into front and back

is braided nnd pinned down nt the
top of the back to servo us u foundation
for the coll. The back hair is then
parted in the middle and tho rout hair
on the left side; at tho left side front

and pinned to the knot, und lit tho

and pinned; tlu hair Is then colled
and a tuft of curls is added. The
short front hair is curled. A

hair is braided und pinned at the top.
The hair on tho forehoud is long, and is
waved nnd pinned back to this lock; the.
short hair on tho temples is curled
The hair is then divided at tho middle
of the buck, each half is taken up at
the sides and back and pinned, and the
ends are arranged in an oblong twist
When the natural hair is insufficient it

Nkw Yottk, March ll.-r-Tho curative
use of hot water Was u itopular fad
seven or eight years ago, and doubtless
did then much more harm than good u
result naturally to Iki expected from the
ignorant employment of any force or
remedy. Pooploswelled themselves with
hot water, without any better reason for
so doing than somelsHly's gucsswnik iim
Huraucu that it might do them good;
without any conception that dietary io
strlctlons might bo necessary; without
oven knowledge of when or In what
quantities tho water should 1m taken.
Many doctors antagonized tho treat
ment, some ossihly Itecatiso it is ono in
which a medical adviser is by no means
essential, tint many more, doubtless )h
cause they wero ignorant of tho pro
foundly scientific principles upon which
it is based,
Tho gigautlu error of those claiming
to bo thcr.iiKUttists has been in dealing
with established pathological conditions,
Instead of the cause of which they wero
but symptomatic. Happily, tho more
Intelligent of tho profession now recog
nize this fart, and tho advocate of a
projierly directed "hot water treatment"
is no longer heard as "tho voice of ono
crying in the wilderness," even among
physicians. But it concerns tho health,
happiness and life of nil human beings
to know that all our diseases excepting
those arising from injuries, parasites,
poisons and infections spring from a
common cause, and that each one of us
has it in his power to banish that cause,
or to cure the maladies produced by it,
if they have not reached an absolutely
heirless stage. Sweeping us that affir
mation may apiear to lie its correctness
is clearly demonstrable.
That veritable Pandora's box of u
cause of disease is simply improper or
imhealthful alimentation; tho feeding
uion foods that ferment instead of be
ing digested in the stomach and bowels.
Tho scientist who primarily enunciated
and proved this discovery and originat
ed the "hot water treatment" for tho
successful elimination of that cause is
Dr. James II. Salisbury, of New York.
In 1841), when he was principal of the
chemical laboratory of tho New York
state geological survey, this doctor (who
was a graduate of tho Albany Medical
college) commenced the study of germ
diseases, u field in wjiich he ranks
among tho chief microscopists of the
world. In 1851, after a long courso of
chemical analysis and microscopic study
to demonstrate as far ns might Iw by
those means the relations between ali
mentation and disease, he entered uion
the field of isirsonal oxiieriment, testing
upon himself the effects of exclusive
feeding upon a variety of foods, and in
lW'i got to hiring healthy, uhlcbodled
men to submit themselves to similar ex
periments. Tho demonstrations uni
formly obtained during two years of
those exiieriments wero eminently satis
factory, and as far conclusive as it was
possible thoy could bo while stopping, as
they necessarily did, short of the death
Kiut. But, to put the results of his
work bpyond question, ho felt it requi
site to carry them to tho extreme, and
to this end used up nearly 2,000 hogs,
tending; feeding, watching and dissect
ing them.
In addition to years of patient, hard
and skillful scientific work tho doctor
devoted to his unprecedented studies of
alimentation, the cash cost of his o.xjKjri'
incuts was over f 10,000. It is character
istic of the careful conservatism und
modesty of tho man that though the
records of those experiments nnd tho im
iwrtant discovery deduced from them
had Ik'cu completed and ready for the
printer by 1807, publication in its en
tirety was deluyed for several years,
and tho results of his work wore em
ployed for the instruction of tho medi
cal profession and not for tho trtiniet
ing of his personal famo to tho public.
Not until tho cure of many hundreds of
so culled "incurable" cases in England
nnd this country had put leyoml all
reasonable doubt Ixith his discovery and
his method of treatment did he bring
out his big book on "Alimentation and
Disease."
That liook Is, of course, better under-
utfhul mul iilitinwiiiifjiil 1iV iwlnntitiwl tilii
sicians than by tho ueneral nuhlio. but
a condensation in plain language of
what it sets forth cannot but Im of great
interest to overylxsly and of iucntimablo
importance to thoso suffering from dis
ease. Tho keynoto of it is. "Improjier ali
mentation is tho predisiosiug cause of
disease." Improper alimentation is the
feeding uK)ii food which the digestive
organs cannot readily and jierfectly di
gest, notably for our race an excess of
starchy and saccharine materials, which
aro highly fermentable. These develop
largo quantities of carlsmic gas, alco
holic nnd acid yeasts, which poisonous
products and acid forming plants par
tially paralyze tho mucus surfaces, by
which they aro then taken up and car
ried into the blood. Fibrinous deposits
us thrombi in the hclirt and the large
vessels leading to it ensue, and when
those filamentous masses break loose
they aro liablo to lo carried along by
tho blood stream until they produce em
bolism. At the same timo ovcinutri
Hon of tho tissues lends to tho formation
of various tumors. Weak and overtaxed
organs are most promptly attacked, and
among the symptoms marking the ex
istence ami progress of the cause now
operating are:
Consumption, in all its phases, includ
ing '"chronic diarrhea," ami "summer
complaints" in children; dyspepsia, in all
its forms;' rheumatism, in all its varieties;
gout, Bright's dlsoaso, locomotor ataxy,
cretinism, all fibrous tumors, fibroids
and cancerous growths; all paralytio
diseases, except thoso arising from in
juries.poisons nnd infectious; softening of
tho bralnundnsteitHCHof insanity which
have not beon produced by injuries, In
flammations nnd effiislousi nil forms of
deafness and .diseases of the eye and
jar that havo not resulted from Injuries,
poisons, exposures and Infections; nil
catarrhs, thlukeiilngs, and , fibrous ills
Piisos of the digestive organ I ami air
passages, aside tloin (hone caused by
injuries, poisons ami infections) asthma
In all Its forms, except such as result
from animal and vegetable parasites; all
fatty diseases of tho heart and oilier or
gans, except such as result from Injuries;
atiiemlii In its various forms; most cases
of prolapsus of the Isiwels and uterus;
many demented conditions, hyochuu
tlrlii, most eases of loss of voice, erysipe
las, eczema, scald head, etc.
All these maladies aro caused by the
normal processes of cell feeding, cell di
gestion, cell assimilation, cell organiza
tion and cell elimination having lieeoino
more or less deranged, tho various or
gans and tissues yielding to pathological
invasion in consequence of being sup
plied with abnormal, Imperfect material
for carrying on their normal functions
In a physiological manner.
The primary indications of consump
tion wero readily produced by sihtIu!
feeding in tho human subjects of Dr.
Salisbury's experiments, and in a great
nuiiiwr of tho unfortunate hogs that he
fed with fermented ami fermenting food.
The malady wits produced ami cultivated
to i successfully fatal issue. By tho hot
water and meat diet treatment, too, ho
has cured it in a great number of cases,
as havo other physicians following his
methods, with as much certainty ami
uniformity as has attended its inten
tional production.
Especial interest uttuchos to his food
experiments. The half dozen sturdy
fellows whom ho put on a diet of bakod
licaus and coffeo exclusively, all
showed symptomsof locomotor ataxy, or
progressive jMiralysls, on tho tenth day
ami by tho sixteenth day not one of
them could walk straight without sup
port; all had chronic, diarrhea, heart
palpitation and oppressed breathing.
Four hearty, well men were put on
oatmeal porridge seasoned with butter,
popper and salt with a pint of coffro
containing sugar and milk, at each
meal. Constipation, flatulence, head
ache and dizziness were nlllicting them
all on tho eighth day. In two days moro
these conditions had become violent; ex
ertion produced heart palpitation, and
they wero full of wandering pains, with
prickling in feet and hands.
These disorders grow more intenso
and painful with neuralgia induced in
three cases until from tho twenty-third
to tho twenty-fifth days, when diarrhea
set In, and tho record is full of such en
tries ns, "Eyes wild, hearing impaired,
head confused, memory )oor, legs and
feet numb, quite deaf and listless, heart
palpitates and very Irregular," up to tho
thirtieth day, when it was deemed im
prudent and unsafe to carry tho exjiori
incuts further, and in four days moro,
by a meat diet and hot water, tho men
were restored to normal health. It may
Iki well to observe hero that in all cases
men exnprlmcntotl upon wero as' thor
oughly and quickly curod of their ab
normal conditions by those means.
Violent chronic diarrhea,, such as
often prevails in armies and is known
as "camp 'ilarrheu," was produced in
three hearty, strong mien by feeding
them exclusively upon army biscuit in
from nineteen to twenty-one days ii
sjiell of constipation preceding nnd mi
croscopic examinations proved that they
wero literally filled with tho yeast germs
already mentioned. Each had marked
symptoms of locomotor ataxy and partly
lost tho use of his lower limbs.
Bread, rice, whoaten grits, hominy,
sago, tapioca and potatoes were each fed
to four or six men at a time for eriods
of from forty to forty-five days Wore
serious diseases and symptoms wero pro
duced. Green jwas and string Imjuiis
ranked next in point of alimentary qual
ities. Green corn, turnips, beets and
squash quickly produced unpleasant ami
grave derangements, but of all vegeta
bles asparagus was found most injurious
when lived uou alone. Seven days is
altout as long ns it would Imj safe to sul
sist on this plant, owing to the effect
uku the kidneys.
Patients have lived exclusively on
Ix'ef and mutton for from three to four
years. Still, if one sticks to them too
long they are liable to 1ecomo monoto
nous and may cause "meat dyspepsiu,"
which is dangerous. People who livo
exclusively on vegetable food, as tho
Hindoos, aro enabled to do so by inher
ited organic tendencies. Their stomachs
are or little or no use to them. The
I pyloric valve being lH-nnanently para
i lyzt'd remains open, so that vegetable
matter passes directly into the projwr
field of its digestion.
The new treatment restricts tho pa
tient to purely animal, and consequent
