I I1IC %».»> Lt TTKtl. When the local committee In (hnrgo of the thirty-fourth national encamp ment of the Grand Army of the Repub lic commented to make plans for the ibig gathering here, it not only had in view the interests of sightseers, but at ithe same time planned to avoid con gesting any one district, such as has •been the result during other big func tions In this city. During the fall fes tival a year ago State street business interests were almost stagnated by the •ruction of a court of honor and arches from R.indoiph to Van Buren streets, drawing such Immense crowds to that .thoroughfare that it was impossible for business men to be reached by buyers. Consequently the selection of Michi gan avenue over other downtown ♦treats for the Grand Army euramp •ment arches and court of honor was & particularly happy one. Business .interests will not suffler; the propor tions of the arches and columns will not be dwarfed by high buildings; and the green cf the trees, the grass of the park and the effect of the lake area all land beauty to the architectural result. The material used in the work on the exterior of the columns and arohes represents marble In effect. The open ings of the arches, through which the inarching columns cf the G. A. K. will J>asa are twenty feet wide and thirty Teet high. The arches have been decorated with statuary and relief panels In plaster, •symbolizing appropriately the differ ent branches of the army and navy. Itichard W. Both, sculptor, executed the sculptural part of the work. The frieze of the arches contain in re lief the names of some of the great generals of the army ami noted admir I als of tho navy. The columns con I nectlng the arches are pure Corinthian shafts, decorated with shields clasp ing a group of flags and containing a large fac simile of the different army | and navy corps badges. The reviewing | stand is flanked on either side with large four-column pylons decorated on the top with a large American eagle In plaster, resting on an illumin ated ball. The president's box and the balustrade guarding the space reserved for distinguished guests Is decorated with staff in rich design. The illumination of the court of honor is a feature in itself. The lights are placed iu such a way that they simply high-light the statuary and architectural feaures of the arches and give them an added artistic effect. Search lights are to be placed on top of the arches at each end of the colon nade. In the Lake Front park. Just east of the court of honor, will be centered the main effort at illumination. Here on each night of the encampment there will be a special Illumination with displays of fireworks. A boat will be bent out into the lake every night at dusk and for several hours thereafter the water will be a h*a»v o( light. Set pieces to portray the \ , otts generals of the civil war. l'er-si dent Lincoln and his cabinet and tb# heroes of the later struggle will be t*a terspersed through the program so give the old soldiers an opportunity for their heartily enjoyed cheer. Hand concerts will be Given each night In connection with the fireworks display In Lake Front park. The band stands have been erected In the neighborhood of the reviewing stand so that the seats thus furnished may be used for the nightly celebrations. The military | bands of Chicago and visiting posts i will occupy the music stands for short periods throughout the day aud even ing. Michigan avenue Is broad and clean and well paved; it has the park on one j side and the row of well-kept homes : on the other. There Is no crowding 1 of houses along the thoroughfare and J no high buildings to cut off the sky line. Moreover, it Is not a busy at root and it Is not deluged with traffic at all times of the day and night. The ve hicles that are allowed on the avenue GAR. MEMORIAL ARCH u.AR. COURT or HONOR S' x DECORATION OF MICHIGAN AVENUE. AT THE NORTH END OF THE COURT OF HONOR, are of an ornamental character, and ' they will add rather than detract from the court. The decorations give the broadest possible effect to the roadway and there is nothing standing out be yond th^ curbing to clutter up the street. The court is long enough to give a good perspective and yet not too long for convenience. Everyone will be pleased with it and that it will open the eyes of visitors as to what ;;n be done In the way of street deco ration. QfARTERS FOR STATES. During the encampment each of the various state depart incuts will occupy separate headquarters In the large down-town hotels. The department commander of each state, with his offi cial staff, will be located at those head quarters to receive and entertain visi tors.

Zionist. Dr. Max Nordau was by far the most conspicuous figure In the meet ing of Zionists held In fxmdon last week. He is likewise one of the ablest adepts among the Jews In the defense of his race, and is possessed, at the same time, of one of the most brilliant minds in Europe. Nordau is best known by his work, "Degenera tion,” which was published in lSSJ, and which at once attracted interna tional attention. His "Conventional Ides,” published in 1SS3, prepared the way for his supreme conclusions in psycho-physiological science, which were exploited in "Degeneration."

A Suggestion. The Haberdasher has discovered that If all letters were business letters, and if all business letters were typewrit ten, the use of “My dear sir" and “Yours very truly” would cost the world $3,330,000 each year in typewrit ers’ wages alone. If they meant anything at all, if they softened any asperities, or cre ated any more cordial relations be tween mercantile houses, these phrases might be excused, or even commend ed. But, as a mutter of practice, the Haberdasher remarks, they are attach ed to "duns.” to reproofs.to complaints, to every form of communication, "and | they are as thoroughly worthless as a campaign button on a cigar store In I dlan.” This reformer would iike one or two : business houses with voluminous * or : respondent e to rome out squarely against the-e superfluities and abolish them.

John Fowler, United States consul at Chefoo, China, was a consul at Ninko before he was given his present post in 189G. He began his career as a clerk in the navy yard at Wash ington, and later served as ship’s writer on the Tallapoosa until the wreck of that vessel in 1885. Theie after he served as a petty officer on a warship until 1888, when he went to Eoston, and engaged in business. In 1889 Mr. Fowler applied for the post of minister to Korea, but owing to lack of influence failed to secure his appointment.
