great and llttlo art p.ilaccs ara almont com

them from the ever pnosInK throngs on the
Champa Elysco have been torn down. The

Incss which will clog their lines from now
until after the exposition opens. Almost
every hotel In Paris has rented many , if not
most , of lln host rooms for the first weeks
of the exposition. The greatest rush will , of
course , bo during the first weeks , because
Intending visitant realize that after those
first weeks are over the fuzz will bo off the

The Moon TVItliln n Ferr Mllpn.
The most Interesting of the scientific ex
hibits will bo the great telescope , built on
an entirely now plan. The difference be
tween 240,000 miles and forty-two miles Is
eald by Us projectors to bo what this great
Instrument will bring about when the
anxloua American looks at the moon through
it. It will magnify the moon 10,000 times.
The highest magnifying power obtained
through , any other telescope so far has boon
about 4,000 times. An object on the sur
face of the moon 700 feet long will be vis
ible to the eye ftt the telescope's Wg rei i
doctor as an object one-thirtieth of an Inch
In length. The very largest ocean steamer
that sails earthly seas would look , It transported - i

This machine will cost , completed , more i
than $300,000. Its object glasses will weigh
BOO pounds , and cost not less than $120,000.

The buildings , with two exceptions only , are
of oven a more temporary type of construc
tion than were our flimsier structures , and
their plans Include much work which the ar
chitects characterize as "ginger bread. " This
will be affected by the lapse of time and the
brilliant paints which nro everywhere to bo

PnrlM In n Hunt Storm.
That only two buildings the great nnd
little art palaces are being built of the
famous French sandstone , is a temporary
blessing to all Paris. The dust from this
sandstone is whlto nnd BO penetrating that
It becomes a public nuisance. It has ac
tually changed the color of the roadway
In the Champs Elysee. From the ordi
nary brown ot the average macadam road
the pavement has became a dirty gray
from the whlto dust blown nnd tracked
Into it from the neighborhood of the art
palaces. This has also had Us effect on
the health of the trees which have helped
to make this famous avenue one of the
most beautiful in the world. The etono
of which these superb buildings are being
constructed is taken from the very bowela
of Paris , from the same stratum of under
ground Franco in which the catacombs
were dug. It Is soft and very easily worked
when first taken out , but It hardens after
exposure to the air. One of the early won
ders of the show is the famous diamond
saw , which Is now continually at work on
the exposition grounds and which cuts this
rock as a sharp knlfo might cut whlto
cheese thereby adding to the dust which
pervades Paris nnd blows and blows and
blows , until your eyes nnd your cars and
your mouth nro full of it. No such ma
chine was ever made before. It is about
seven feet In diameter und Its wiwlng edge
la studded with Brazilian diamonds or
"boorts. " It has cut atones two feet thick
and twelve or fourteen feet long In a
quarter of an hour. The same work would
take throe or four days of a competent
man's ttmo.
Danger In Polltlci.
Tarls believes the show will be a great
success. There is no likelihood that she will
bo mistaken If sbo succeeds In keeping her
temper lone enough and falls to have a
rovolutlf/n. "Tho Dreyfus case , " said a very
Important Frenchman to me the other day ,
"nould have caused a real revolution long
before tliU had it not been for the approachIng -

curial French people cool-headed through
such a crisis ; but the hope of gain will

on a great brick foundation , laid horizon
tally on the earth's surface. Before the
object glasses or lenses will be a great
mirror , which may be so moved as to throw
the reflected image of any part of the
heavens Into the object glaases. From the
other end of the telescope ( where the hu
man eye would ordinarily bo applied ) the
magnified imago will be projected on a
screen after the fashion of a magic lan
tern. The wonderful Instrument is already
nearlng construction in the "Parace of Op
tics , " near the bottom of tha Eiffel tower.
The big tube will be made of twenty-four
enormous steel castings , each seven and
one-half feet long and four nnd one-half
feet in diameter. The thine Is being built
by M. Cnuthler , the most celebrated op
tical Instrument maker In France.
Clnocr 1'rcnkd of flip Show.
Of course the crank bos had and is still
having hlo day in connection with the
Paris show. A list of the wild schemes
which have been submitted to the man
agers of the exposition would fill all the
columns of thla paper. The Eiffel tower
and the great wheel already stand on the
exposition grounds. Another plan which
will probably be carried out consists of
an Immense umbrella , with its atetn or
handfe planted firmly In the earth. To the
end of each of Its ribs will be attached a
car somewhat cmnller than thoee in the
Ferris wheel. When the steam engine
opens the umbrella these cars will , of
course , be carried up Into the air by the
ribs. Just where the fun of being slowly 1
rallied to a height of olxty or seventy feet
at the end of a big umbrella will come
in , I leave for the gentle reader to figure
out alone.
The "Bottom of the Sea Aquarium and
Panorama" will be really beautiful and
highly educational. In its enormoua glaa's-
Blded tanks there will be , In the first place ,
the flneet collection of strange fish and sub-
rnarlna animals ever gathered in one place.
Sections will nleo bo devoted to rare marine
plants. Dy clever planning it has been
arranged to give visitors a perfect view of
what really goes on at the deep bottoms of
the sea. There will be divers at work on
the wrecks ot ehlpa , which will show the
plain effects of long sojourning beneath the
tea. A submarine volcano will be in active
eruption , and the method of laying and re
pairing an ocean cable will be illustrated.
One plan in connection with this part of
the show failed. There are certain fish
which can live only in the deepest depths ,
where the pressure of the water from above
Is great. These fish , of course , never have
been put on show , and an effort was made
to arrange a tank for them by means of
hydraulic preaaure. The scheme was found
to be Impracticable.
Wlirre Hnyullr Will I.oilur.
Not least among the shows will be the
gathering of notables. Royalty will be In

queen's Jubilee , The government long ngo

prince Imperial. It wan occupied by tha
State department for the colonlca , and Its

No one scorns to know what will take the
place ot Chicago's Midway Plalsance at tha
Paris exposition. Many mysterious conces-
* lens have been given out for the neighbor
hood of the Eiffel tower , and an "annex" has
been arranged for In the Wood of Vlncennes.
Inasmuch as thla is to be largely devoted to
athletic gamea. it seems likely that it will
draw the crowds who would be amuied by
the sort of thing which went on on Chicago's
Midway. Nothing , however , Is telng eatd ,

and little can be found out on this most
fascinating subject. It la fair to suppose
that Paris , the gayest of cities , will quite
outstrip any previous efforts made by the
more staid municipalities. It Is also and
pleasantly certain that the Innate art of the
French nature will prevent such gaylsh ex
hibitions of bestial vulgarity as marked our
own world's fair. I have only heard of one
American Midway enterprise , and that one late
to say the least , Inoffensive. Captain Wil
liam C. Oldrlne of Boston , It baa been an
nounced here , will attempt to walk across
the ocean on enormous five foot cedar shoes
and afterwards place himself on exhibition.
The biggest room In the world will also
be a feature of the Paris enow. There are
larger buildings than Machinery Hall will
be , but according to the claims made by
the Parisian promoters , none has ever had
so great a single floor space 12,644 meters.
The amphitheater has been planned to seat
15,000 spectators , daylight being admitted
through an Immense cupola of glass.
Alt American Hallway Train.
Two Interesting railway features are under
Tray. One Is an American railway train
consisting of ordinary coaches , palace car
and express cai , which will run frequently
between the main grounds of the exposition
and the annex at Vlncennes. One might
almost hope that this train might be an
object lesson to the benighted Rails and
Induce them to give up tholr antiquated ey -
tcm of compartment cars In favor of our
more convenient and healthful designs , were
It not tot the experience of an English rail
way Eorce years ago. The American line
of steamships docks at Southampton. From
there to London , trains are run at high
speed In two and a half hours. The Ameri
can line endeavored to plc-aso Its patrons
by Inducing the road to put on the most
Improved and high class American palace
cars. Englishmen would not rMo In the
beautiful vehicles , nnd the service had to be
abandoned. Those superb cars are now

will probably be the earao In Paris. The
other railway novelty will be an immense
panorama of the barbaric scenery along the
czar's famous projected trans-Siberian rail
way.
way.An interesting item appeared the other
day In Le Tempa. It said that 1,164,000 , or
? 8,820,000 , had already been Invested in the
show which , of course , is very far from
what will have been put Into it when it
opone , on April 15. How much of this will
prove to have been pure loss when the gates
are finally closed on November E , of course
no one knows , but experts believe that the
Paris exposition of 1900 will bo much more
successful financially than the World's Fair
was at Chicago.
At any rate , the management is prepar
ing to handle enormous crowds. The main
gateways will be known as "L'Entree Monu-
i mentale , " or Monumental Entrance. The
show will be open sixteen hours a day , and
this entrance Is arranged to give passage to
60,000 persons nn hour. So if thlo one gate
were worked to Its fullest capacity It would
admit 060,000 persons a day. And there are
many gateways. This great gate will bo a
triumphal arch , decorated over Its front
with the arms of the city of Paris. This
will bo surmounted by a statue of Liberty
heroic In size. Including the two great
friezes on the sides representing workmen
carrying their products to the exposition ,
the gate will cost 62,000 francs , or $12,400.

PH1NC FOR INDIAN THEFT

DATES BACK TO DAYS OF CATTLE TRAINS
Attack of Iledfikinn on n Cattle Train
anil Capture of Part of the Mo-
tlve 1'ovrer Oninhn. the
Starting Place.
The government has Just settled with n.
former resident of Omaha for a claim which
had its origin in the Indian troubles of thirty
years ago. Joseph H. Penny , who once lived
hero , but lo now n farmer near Onawa , la. ,
has been notified that his claim for $2,435 , In
payment for forty-five or fifty head of cattle
cut out of his bunch by marauding redskins
in the days when there was only a trail to
connect the small scattered towns of Colorado
rado and Its military outposts with Omaha ,
the western gate of civilization , had been
granted. It Is not every loss by Indians for
which the United States reimburses Us cit
izens , however , as is somewhat borne out by
the length of tlmo which it took a Just claim
of this nature to work its way through the
official mazes.
W. W. Marsh of the Union National bank ,
who operated a ferry between Omaha and
Council Bluffo at the tlmo when Denver was
nothing , and when men had to bo lured by
gold to thread their painful way across the
arid plains with ox teams , was a business
associate of Mr. Penny and tells of how he
came to lose cattle to the Indians In such a
manner that the government felt Itself
obliged to reimburse him.
"While I never accompanied Mr. Penny's
cattle trains across the country , " said Mr.
Marsh , "I did help to start another train
westward , which afterward formed a portion
of the outfit of which Mr. Penny was in
charge. I was then running the ferry across
the river here , my boat being called the
Lizzie BayllBO. The ferry was first started
in 1853 or 18C4 , and landed on this side of

the river at what was then known as the
'Telegraph Poles,1 near what Is now East
Omaha. On the Iowa side we made our
landing Just above what la now Broadway.
"One day a man named Havlland came
to town with n lot of cattle to sell. Before
ho sold them ho was persuaded to use them
in making up a train , with which to trans
port to Fort Laramlo a lot of corn which
Mlllard , Caldwell & Co. , bankere , were
under contract to move. The corn was at
Plattsmouth , and I went down there to
assist in the loading and to start the train.
It consisted of about twenty wagons and
waa tended by twenty-five men. The train
belonged to Marsh , Atwood & Havlland
after wo had organized it , and It started
in the summer of 1S65.
"As nearly as I can recollect , the train
reached the fort without Incident , except
that on the way It fell In with a train
Penny was taking across the plains nnd
Joined it for the remainder of the distance.
As soon , however , as the trains had been
unloaded they were pressed Into the gov
ernment service something which the rep
resentatives of the government were In the
habit of doing when things had to bo moved
quickly and there was a scarcity of rolling
stock and used to carry supplies from the |
fort to some new post on the Powder river.
They got back to Laramlo without any
trouble and then started on the return trip.
Raided by Indian * .
"Penny had with the train when ho loft
the fort a largo number of passengers for
Omaha , so it happened that there were
about 100 men available for fighting duty
when the tlmo came for that.
"One night , when the party had blvouj j
ackcd on the north side of the Platte , not
far from where Julcaburg now stands , a' '
party of Indians approached under.cover of
the darkness and tried to run off the cattle.
They made so much nolso about it that
they woke up the whlto men , who Immedl- , i
ately charged out Into the night , bent on J
saving tholr cattle , their only means of j
reaching home. They succeeded in getting i
hank all the cattle excepting about forty- '
five or fifty head and then a regular battle
In the dark ensued.
"The firing was heard at a small ( station
on the other aide of the Platte and word
was sent to a detachment of troops twelve
miles away. It was still dark when the
troops arrived and took a hand In the fight.
It did not take them long to put the Ravages
to flight. Fortunately , not a member of the
party waa injured.
"Some of the men from the train and the
soldiers followed the trail in the hopes of
catching up and getting back the stolen
cattle. But they did not dare to go far
from the train and soon abandoned the chase.
But they found articles of clothing with
blood on them , which showed that some of
their bullets bad lodged in the redskins'
bcdlcfl. Whether any of them were killed or
not wo never learned , for , ns you know ,
Indians never leave tholr dead on the Hold
If they can po&ilhly make away with them. "
It was the cattle lost In that raid for
which the government now settles with
Penny , on the ground that the Impressment
of bin train delayed his return.
